- Divine Renunciation has Energy and Intelligence.
- Divine Renunciation is our ability to release negative
thoughts, feelings, and beliefs from our consciousness.
- Divine Renunciation is our ability to give a “no” response to negativity.
Divine Renunciation is our ability to forgive and release others. Your greatest opportunities for growth and your greatest
challenges often come to you through other people. So, it is
important to remember that Divine Renunciation is our ability to
forgive and release others. Remember the true definition of
forgiveness. You must reverse the situation by giving for. Give
love for hurt. Give tolerance for impatience. Give strength for
weakness. It is up to you to give for, and to give forth to God’s
qualities.
Divine Renunciation creates a vacuum. A vacuum is created
and your soul is waiting to be fulfilled. It is important to have
an affirmation about the truth of your Being. For example, “I am
light and love and filled with the power of God.” If you do not
have an affirmation you will eventually drift back into the old
pattern.
Divine Renunciation has 2 main functions in our
consciousness. They are both related to keeping our consciousness
pure and uncluttered. These are the avoiding of negativity and the
elimination of negativity.
Divine Renunciation is our ability to eliminate negative
thoughts, feelings, and beliefs from our consciousness. Often you
might discover that there is a fear in you that you need to have
eliminated from your feeling nature. It might seem that this fear
is closely tied to a very real outer threat and that the threat must
be removed before the fear will go away. If you believe this you
will be tied to outer conditions. In Spirit you can release the
fear before the outer threat is removed and therefore eliminate any
power that the condition has over you. If you are not afraid, you
cannot be harmed. So it is vital to remove all fear from your
consciousness.
One of the greatest ways to release
fears or worries is to invite Spirit to remove it for you with the
statement “I let go and I let God.” Then physically relax. Another constructive way to
eliminate a negative inner state is to still your self toward the
Divine Gift of Renunciation. Find a place where you can be alone
and be still and think of Divine release. The Power itself will
activate within you freeing you from the negative experience.
Divine Renunciation is entirely an inner process.
Renunciation
has two main functions in your consciousness. They are both related
to keeping your consciousness pure and uncluttered. They are the
avoiding of negativity and the elimination of negativity.
We might
discover that we carry fear within us. It might seem that this fear
is caused by a very real outer threat, and that the threat needs to
be dealt with before the fear will go away. If you believe this,
you are tied to outer conditions. In Spirit you can release the
fear before the outer threat is removed and therefore eliminate any
power that the outer condition has over you. If you are not afraid,
you cannot be harmed. One of the greatest ways to release fear or
worry is to invite Spirit to remove it for you with the statement,
“I let go and let God!” Then, physically relax. Breathe deeply and
feel your muscles release. You will be able to feel the fear loosen
its grip, and the tie that binds you to the outer condition will
release.
Renunciation
can take things out of existence. Everything that is manifest has
been brought forth through the affirmative power of faith or
belief. It is drawn into existence from invisible spiritual
energy. Renunciation does just the opposite. It takes it from
existence back to harmless, unmanifest creative energy.
At one level of
consciousness, you can eliminate negativity, but at a higher level
you can avoid negativity. Renunciation is your ability to give a
“no” response to negativity. It is you ability to reject that that
is not of Spirit. That which is not permitted to enter you
consciousness does not have to be eliminated. It is a wondrous
experience to observe the negative and not be victimized by giving
it power. The amazing result is that by refusing entry into your
consciousness, negative energies have no choice but to dissolve. It
is always important to remember that negative conditions have no
choice, but you do. By choosing to avoid gossiping, resentment, or
fear, you keep your consciousness pure.
Your greatest
opportunities for growth and your greatest challenges will come to
you through other people. So it is paramount to remember that
renunciation is your ability to forgive and release others. The
minute you give love instead of reacting with anger, you are free of
all negative patterns. When you free others, you free yourself.
That which you condemn in others is in fact self-condemnation. If
you forgive but do not forget, you are still harboring ill
feelings. Any harboring of resentment chains you to the entire
limiting experience.
We must always
be willing to forgive ourselves as well as others.
Self-condemnation is destructive and prevents development of
consciousness. It is necessary in being specific in calling forth
your gift of Renunciation. Actually put words and ideas through
your mind, and tell yourself that you forgive yourself and that you
approve of yourself. Take your time and be gentle but firm. You
will experience the greatest release of your life as the divine gift
of Renunciation is activated in your soul.
Renunciation
creates a vacuum. You are making more room for spiritual awareness
as you eliminate old patterns and false beliefs. A vacuum is
created within, but it is waiting to be fulfilled. It is important,
therefore, that you have an affirmation about the truth of your
being. For instance, “I am light and love and filled with the power
of God.” If you do not have an affirmation, you will eventually
drift back into the old patterns and beliefs.
Renunciation is
entirely an inner process. Do not try to deny away disease,
personalities and outer conditions. Denials are used on your own
beliefs and attitudes not on outer things. You are adjusting your
consciousness to the good rather than trying to rearrange the
world. Once you come to understand this you will make great strides
in personal transformation.
Your true self
is your Christ self. Denials separate negative emotions from your
true self. When you come to understand that you true self is not
sick, angry, hurt, or poor, then you have renounced all these
qualities from your consciousness and cannot experience them in
life.
