Question:

I read your book: You Can Have It All, and listened to your tape Winning With Love, that I found extremely interesting and I thank you very much, but I would like to ask if you could give me an extra help.  I have a lot of questions.  I would like to understand it very well.  Sometimes I feel confused.  Would you be so kind to answer me some questions?  I would appreciate it so much if you would.

First I find very hard to accept that we decide everything that happens to us.  All that I want (and I think it's what everybody wants) is peace, harmony, well being, healthyÉ why I don't get even if I have decided that's what I want.  I have been working on myself for 15 years, I improved, I grown up, but (not) as much as I wanted to, as I have decided to.

Answer:

Your natural state is peace, harmony, vitality and abundance.  You are the Power and Presence of God.  You are missing nothing.  You certainly don't work to achieve these.

The part you are missing is that you have had to disguise who you really are and hide your power to be able to come into the human and play here.  The human game is, by definition, a game of limitation, a game opposite to who and what we really are.

Creating the human game and playing it as though it is real is an extraordinary accomplishment.  Seen from this perspective, your most self-supportive focus is on appreciating what you have created, and appreciating your Self as a brilliant creator.

You are not your creations.  You are not this limited being you are describing in your question.  You are an unlimited being who is the ultimate creator.

The reason for appreciating your creations, particularly the ones you are complaining about, is that when you diminish your creations, you diminish your Self as the creator.  As the Power and Presence of God every one of your creations is magnificent.  You can only create magnificence because you cannot create unlike your Self.

Remember, your creations are not real.  Poverty, violence, anger and shame are all made up.  They are disguises for the unconditional love, peace, harmony and abundance that you are.
