What Will YOU Say About You When You’re Gone?

Whatever gets said about you in your eulogy is beyond your control-unless of course, you pay a very trusted, very healthy friend in advance to read from a script you write today.

But isn’t something far more important than what others say about you at your funeral?

After all–unless your spirit hovers around for the grand ceremony–you won’t hear a word of it. Whatever good your friendly eulogist reveals–and whatever ill he or she conceals–wont make a bit of difference to your future.

No matter what shocking secrets get told, those who love you are unlikely to love you any less–unless some really tawdry shocking scandal gets ripped from your closet and flung into your open casket.

Nor will florid gushing words of praise carry much weight with those who have scorned you all your life. (Though they might reserve final judgment until the reading of your will.)

No, in fact, the only worthwhile words to consider are:

What will YOU say about you when you’re gone?

I ask this tough question because really, yours is the only voice that counts.

But do you think God does the talking during your past life exam, at your final judgment? Do you think He asks you questions that you can concoct clever answers to? Do you think you can talk your way out of a rotten situation, or bluff your way into a cozier afterlife?

Forget about it. Because the secret is: God only listens.

How awkward is that?

Imagine: you are standing in the presence of Absolutely Relentless Truth–and Absolutely Relentless Love.

Instead of being asked anything, the Total Spiritually Honest Presence of that Absolutely Relentless Truth and Absolutely Relentless Love will simply open your naked soul to It–completely:

It will listen to your life. With you.

Look into your life. With you.

Let you completely feel, and reveal, all your soul secrets.

It will let you observe–for the first time, with COMPLETE PROTECTIVE UNDERSTANDING–the deep-down gritty meanings of every struggle, hope, care and mistake cradled inside you.

Why this crazy, naked, painful process?

Because at the end of this rigorous Absolutely Relentless Truth exam–no matter what your score, however high or low, or whether or not you miserably failed on almost all counts of what you knew was important to you before you birthed into this ignorant physical life:

For precious timeless moments–when you will be bared to God, at exam’s end–you will feel comforted by a whole-souled joyful wave of that sea of Absolutely Relentless Love.

Beyond relief, beyond gratitude, beyond a joyful splash of YES! Thank you! from your heart that any words can express–

you will remember how it feels to BE truly alive.

What happens next?

You can’t remain in God’s Presence, or that of Jesus, or Buddha, or Mother Mary, or Krishna, or Allah, for long.

Why not?

Because you have to continue evolving your soul at that level of quality, of subtle honesty, of refined virtue–that you yourself have EARNED.

You have to go about your naturally assigned level of experience in that brave new World of Spirit. You can only learn from where you are. For example, what use entering a scribbler of mental graffiti in the Master Painter class? Or, what benefit would come from forcing an emotional tightwad into Grad School for Generous Hearts?

Whatever great or humble initiations come to you, you must EARN them. You will pass or fail them by your whole-souled service to God Reality, which is your Soul, and Sole, Reality.

Others may help you–Jesus may help bring you forgiveness, for example–God knows this is a spiritual fact–and your Earthly deeds may help bring you cleansing.

But wherever you are inside yourself today–whatever private Truths your heart of hearts speaks aloud upon demand–that is your future.

We can be grateful that God is pushing us and our whole human civilization–the good and the bad of us, the rough-polished gems and the rotten tomatoes of us–

wisely, lovingly moving us into what the World Teacher Maitreya calls The Age of Spiritual Honesty.

Good news! Because the more Real, the more True, the more Honest our lives get while we’re still alive–the better for everyone’s survival. The better for everyone’s happiness!

Please listen to your True Inner Voice. Hear what you’ve said all your life. Hear what Clear New Messages await your attention.

Listen to your heart. Truly, you are worthy of this act of self love.

If God Sees Into All Things, Then…

Why Are We So Blind?

After all, if God sees into all things,
then God is infinite windows…

If God is infinite windows,
then God is infinite clarity.

Infinite clarity is so formless and unquantifiable
that it exudes into and manifests perpetually,
like an exhalation,
all matters and forms of quantities–
into all universes made.

Infinite clarity being of itself
formless and unquantifiable,
its basic nature is unaltered
by all matters of form and quantity–

even as it interacts with, responds to
and perpetuates all matters of form and quantity.

Yes, perfect absolute clarity is beyond
all measures of form and quantity,
yet in no way separate from form and quantity.

Separation by its very nature impels
imperfect clarity into being,
but it cannot touch perfect clarity.

Our First Conclusion:

Fundamentally and ultimately,
there is no separation between
any thing of form and quantity,
and the infinite clarity of God’s nature.

For any thing of form and quantity,
separation is not part of its fundamental ultimate self.

Separation is merely the imposition
of beliefs about form and quantity
onto living matters of form and quantity.

Our Second Conclusion:

Separation is a creative fabrication.
A game of illusions. A faulty hypothesis
being put to the living “what-if” test
onto matters of form and quantity.

For Strange Example:

A sane man, possessing full sight and full senses
ties a blindfold over his eyes,
declares to himself:

“What if I now know nothing of the body I am in?
What if I am really blind?”

As long as he rigorously enforces his
separation hypothesis as his only acceptable conclusion,
he blinds, numbs and hypnotizes himself into complete victory.

What’s His Only Solution?

Once he admits his indwelling
unquenchable thirst for real clarity,
for real life, whatever it is,
he can only win
by losing his game–
by ending his game.

By losing his game of separation,
he ends his struggles born from that game,
doesn’t he?

Doesn’t he learn one drop more of
what clarity is,
by admitting one drop more of
what it isn’t?

What’s His Victory?:

Doesn’t he bring himself one giant step closer
to the God who sees into him infinitely–
and in seeing into the windows of his soul
with infinite clarity,
infinitely loves him with infinite clarity?

Consider Christ as He who invites you
one giant step closer into that clarity.

Peaceful clear blessings to you,

Even If You’re Cracked, You’re Not Humpty-Dumpty

No matter what feels broken in your life–even after paying your income taxes–an inspirational self talk can help get you back on your feet.

Read these two out loud to yourself on alternate days. If you light a candle, or even look yourself in the eye in the mirror while saying these, it’s good:

“Part One, My Life:

“I know am strong. I know I can feel strong again.

“Though I hurt, I am not broken. Though I feel hurt, I am reviving.

“I am regrouping my energies. I am drinking from my central spring. I am treating myself kindly.

“I welcome full re-assembly of my creative powers and potentials.

“I welcome my growing clarity, my growth into secure insights from Life.

“I welcome the highest conditions of peace and calm, of prosperity and positive change. They grow from ever-deeper contact with myself and ever-higher guidance from ‘outside myself’.

“I welcome reviving my listening, my hearing, my connecting with the Highest Masters who truly, purely work in the interests of Christ Consciousness, Christ Goodness.

“I welcome creative change–I welcome establishment of conditions leading to my own greater service to & prospering from the Highest Good.

“I welcome feeling inspiration from my own strong, protected, unbroken core of True Light.

My core of True Light is creative and powerful. It is glad and good.

“I welcome a happy new harvest growing from everything I think and say, do and share from this day forwards.

“I welcome the very highest–the very best–the very happiest–destiny for myself, for all people, for all creatures, for all generations on Earth to come.

“I SAY YES to God and to Good! I say thank you God. Let us begin!”

Great Peace and Happiness to you,
for you are special and you are beloved by God.
Let me know confidentially how I can help.
Sincerely,
Rev. Scott Ufford,
