SATAN is your FEAR – not a BEING, but an ATTITUDE
SATAN IS YOUR FEAR – not a being, but an attitude
This Truth is powerful. This Truth is freeing and will help you reclaim your life.
But why and how?
The following is an excerpt from the book “Divine Messages from Jesus” by Carolyne Cathey where Jesus explains why the only Satan is our fear.
Note that Satan and fear are the same, with the same consequences.
- Satan (FEAR) is negative control.
- Satan (FEAR) is a hindrance for reaching your goals.
- Satan (FEAR) tempts you to go against your heart and all that you are.
- Satan (FEAR) makes you feel alone, separate, powerless.
In fact,” Jesus added in the message, “fear has controlled much of your life.”
Then he asked:
* How many important life-changing decisions have you made out of fear?
* How many times have you allowed fear to control or overwhelm you?
* How many times did believing you weren’t good enough or smart enough or brave enough hold you back and affect your life-path choices?
* How many times have you opted for the safe decision, not the one where your heart longed to go?
Jesus said:
“Fear controls every one of those decisions—your Satan—not a being, but an attitude.”
“Satan—not a being, but an attitude.”
Powerful! Freeing!
Satan is not anything to fear from outside of you, but instead, is the fear from inside of you. That means you can have control over your own fear. You are not impotent. You are not a victim. With God’s guidance, you are in control.
For a victorious plan of action ask for Divine help when shifting your attitude from fear to faith, that incredible can-do attitude that transform tragedies into triumph. Refusing to allow fear to affect your decisions results in making positive, healing, helpful choices. Ask for help to do this. We are meant to live our lives through constant communication with God, Jesus, or whatever you call your Higher Power. So, use that power.
I realize this goes against most of our religious teaching, but think about it. As mentioned above, when you insert the word fear in the place of Satan, you get the same meaning.
“Satan—not a being, but an attitude.”
PART 2- fear is also your opportunity.
What Are You Experiencing/Feeling During Sequester? Need help?
Being sequestered with spouses and children can be both wonderful and frightening,, depending on those around you. Are they loving? Controlling? Do you feel safe? Endangered?
You can sometimes feel frustration and stress even in loving situations. You also have the opportunity to discover each other in new and wondrous ways. You might reprioritize your life, realizing how out of skew your life has become. Pausing the ever-busyness helps us to really see us as we’ve been and decide if there are important, life-quality changes we choose to make. Sometimes we get trapped into spending our precious life moments on areas that aren’t as important as parts of lives we’re ignoring, or putting aside until later. Be honest with how you feel. Has this sequester time been eye-opening for you?
NOT ALL HOMES ARE LOVING. If your spouse or child is sociopathic, being trapped in your home can be hell. You might merely be in survival mode, trying to appease, trying to avoid the next outburst. I hope you also take this time to really look at your situation and how to change your life so that your precious moments are what are best for you. This is YOUR life. Live it! The sociopath is skilled at control, making you feel worthless, impotent.
The sociopath’s accusations for pulling you down are lies. You are God-worthy! God created you! God creates all that is good, and that includes you. Anything else is a lie.
SUGGESTIONS:
SEEK HELP! Don’t be an enabler. Doing nothing in a dangerous situation means you are part of the problem. Making a change in your life, breaking the imprisoning chains, takes courage. I realize there might be great danger in your decision. Don’t do it alone. There is help for you.
Most important to realize is that you are not and are never alone. Your Inner Divine Power is within you always. This Inner Power is greater than your situation or danger. Your Inner Power will guide you, but you must ask. Listen. Follow. Learning to trust that Inner Guidance takes a strong faith. You have that faith, but fear might be overpowering your faith. Trust in your Divine Spiritual Team that is willing and eager to help you through your situation. They are your God-appointed Spiritual Partners in life. Work with them!
Take your life back! Pray. Seek help.
You can do this. With help and guidance, you can take your life back and live the life you are meant to live, not in fear, but in faith.
I am here for you, and remember…
God blesses you now and always.

Living the Golden Rule, Part 3 ~ Divine Message, Why the Golden Rule Works
The following post is a Divine Message of an inspirational example from Carolyne Cathey of how first sending out what you want to receive actually works. Carolyne receives messages from her mentor, Jesus, about everyday life situations, and how, by following the suggestions, they can transform our lives into something special.
What does it mean to live the Golden Rule? How might it make a difference in your life?
Part 1, the question you were to ask yourself is how you want to be treated by others.
Part 2, Which quality do you choose to live?
Part 3, Divine Message, Why the Golden Rule Works
Receiving and Giving are One Cord
HAVE YOU HEARD the saying that it is easier to give than receive? That saying described me. For some reason I loved giving but I had a hard time receiving. People would offer to give to me in return but I would decline. I would notice the hurt in their eyes, which made me feel guilty, and yet I felt guilty in accepting.
I wondered why it seems easier to give than receive? Pride? Ego? An “I don’t want to be a burden,” attitude? An “I can do it myself” attitude? I felt less somehow when a person would offer to help, like I was lacking something that someone else had to fill in because I was inadequate or flawed. As a result, I was unintentionally rude when I would turn down someone’s offer to help or to give me something. I didn’t mean to be rude. I meant not to be a burden or bother, or dependent. Or even more, that I didn’t need anyone’s help (can you hear the ego in that statement?) With my refusal I could see the disappointment in someone’s eyes or demeanor that showed I had rejected the generosity from their heart.
Jesus kept assuring me that giving and receiving are the same, but I couldn’t see it. To me, giving indicated strength, receiving revealed weakness.
One day, he flashed a vision into my mind that is best demonstrated by acting it out.
Exercise
To act out the vision, stand up to demonstrate this truth.
Imagine a thick nylon cord or rope threading through your solar plexus, front to back and it slides both ways. Place one hand on the imaginary cord coming out the front of your waist, and one hand on the same imaginary cord threading through you out the back of your waist. When you pull so that the rope goes outward from you, as in giving, notice that it also comes into you from the back, as in receiving. With the invisible cord in your hands, let the cable slide back and forth and you’ll see that no matter which way the cord glides, when you are giving, you are also receiving.
Jesus said:
“Everything you have is from the Divine. Everything. Including the love that fills you, love that is so freely given to you from your Creator. Everything you receive you first receive from the Divine. When others are giving to you, you are receiving what flowed through them from the Divine. So, whether giving or receiving, it is all from your Source, your Unlimited Supplier.
“This image demonstrates that receiving and giving are the same. Your problem is that you allow ego and pride to get in your way, that when you decline a generous offer, you not only hurt the other person, you also hurt yourself. When you refuse to receive, you are blocking the natural flow. You are trying to separate the inseparable.
“Notice that when you slide the cord back and forth, that the giving comes from inside you at the same time that the receiving slips inside you, so you cannot possibly give without also giving to yourself.
“You can name the cord. If you name the cord ‘hate’, then when you give hate, that is what you receive. If you name the cord ‘love’, then when you give love, you receive love in return. Which means that if you want to receive love, then you must give love—in remembrance that you are giving from the love you’ve already received. You are created from love. You are love. Give what you truly are—love.”
Now the vision shifts: Jesus said…
“Imagine that the cord that runs through you also runs through a person in front of you and a person behind you, and the people on the other side of each of them. See the connection?” he said. “For someone to give there must be someone else to receive that gift, and of course, the reverse is true. For someone else to give, then another must receive.
“As with the cord, receiving isn’t always from the same person to whom you give. You will often receive back from unexpected sources.
“Also notice that when you give there is no lack because as you are giving, what you receive slips in continuously, allowing continual giving. That is the natural flow. The natural flow of giving and receiving is always going on —there is no life without it.”
Meaning: This message applies to all of creation—people, animals and the planet. Again, you might ‘receive’ from varying forms. Animals love in return, just like people, and sometimes better than people. Contributing in your own loving way fosters a more loving, healthy community, which benefits you and everyone.
Action:
Today, practice giving and receiving love with a smile and with gratitude.
“Everything you have is from the Divine. Everything. Including the love that fills you, love that is so freely given to you from your Creator. Everything you receive you first receive from the Divine. When others are giving to you, you are receiving what flowed through them from the Divine. So, whether giving or receiving, it is all from your Source, your Unlimited Supplier.” ~ Jesus. Divine Messages from Jesus. p. 365. 2015. Cathey, Carolyne.

Living the Golden Rule, Part 2 ~ Which quality do you choose to live?
What does it mean to live the Golden Rule? How might it make a difference in your life? Part 2 is about becoming what you say what you want to receive.

In Part 1, the question you were to ask yourself is how you want to be treated by others.
Did you come up with a dream list?
As an example of options, do you want love? Respect? Understanding? Compassion? Patience? Friends? Fun times?
Unless you want to share YOUR list as a comment, I’ll go with the ones above as to the next steps.
The Golden Rule states that first you must treat others as you want to be treated. You’ve probably also heard of the Law of Attraction. What both are saying is that you first send out what you want to receive in return.
Do you want more love in your life? Then you must first be more loving.
The same with respect, understanding, compassion, patience and friendship.
First be the quality you want reflected back to you. Respect others differing viewpoints. Be understanding of other’s situations. Compassion means caring for others and their struggles. Patience means not to get triggered by what people say, or road rage, or standing in line, or your children, or spouse… You want more friends? Then be a friend.
The challenge is becoming what we want to receive.
Where do we start? Inside our own hearts and minds. For everything, we always start within.
But more than that, we reconnect with the Divine within us. We are never meant to do anything without our spiritual team. Anything other than true surrender is believing in the lie of separation, which is impossible. Surrender is coming home. Ask God to help you become what you want to receive even when it seems impossible. Nothing is impossible with God.
For this post I challenge you to take at least one quality you choose to receive – for example, love. With Divine help, become the love you wish to receive. In reality love is what you are, how you were created. During your day/s, consider how to respond with love in all situations and at all times.
How to do this might be difficult and confusing, especially when other’s are not loving, or even abusive! Love doesn’t mean being a doormat. Love sometimes means saying no. You come first. What do you want?
For now, choose one quality, then practice being that. Let me know how you are doing. I’d love going through this with you.
Next week we’ll discuss more about how to be love, or tolerance, or patient, when we are surrounded with the opposite, like in politics.

When You Think About It, Surrender is the Answer to Everything.

When you think about it, surrender is the answer to everything. Surrender is THE answer.
Please pay attention, because Jesus told me why.
He said that…
Anything other than surrender is believing in the lie of separation.
He said…
Surrender is coming home.
What do You Want – Really? Part 4: Turning Your Goals into Realities – #2 Embodiment
#2: EMBODIMENT
Why? Because… Turning goals into realities is more than wishful thinking; It is an unwavering mental picture of your desire with expectation for the results in form.
BELIEVE IT. KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN. WITHOUT DOUBT.
Embodiment means to live as if you have already achieved your goal – to know that it is already manifested even though you might not yet see the results, but that you know, without doubt, that it is already yours to claim when the timing is right. It means, the ‘now’ is NOW!
#1 Visualization in Part 3 is about mentally seeing the act of completion. Embodying means we move forward with the actions by allowing the messages to flow through us according to God’s will, to even consider the steps to take to accomplish the goal, knowing that God is really in control of the how, when, what it finally looks like, etc. What is vital is to listen to what our Divine Intuition is telling/guiding us to do, then to have the faith to follow through on those urgings. The reason we must believe we’ve received it before we see it is that if we didn’t ‘know, without doubt’ the goal would happen, then we wouldn’t spend treasurable life-moments working on it. See how it all fits together?
Exercise: How might you embody your goal? Write several possibilities, because the more depth in your thought process and the more passion in your desire for fulfillment, then the more real it becomes in your mind, which then transforms into reality through Divine Partnership. Remember, this isn’t about hoping and wishing, but knowing without doubt, in co-creation with your Creator.
True story of transforming from wants, to goals, to realities:
A true success story about Jess, the Reluctant Villain, who changed his life, and set goals by visualizing and embodying his determination to change from his unwanted burden of a Narcissistic Sociopath personality, to one where he could life a normal, loving life with a wife and children and his career.
As you read on the home page, there are 15 million people diagnosed with this personality in the US alone – that is one in 20. They harm many millions more. If you want more information, go to the home page about this personality and the traits. It has been visited by over 178 countries, and recently there were over 1400 hits in one day by people looking for answers. Doctors claim they cannot be cured because they don’t want to change. Wrong!
Truth! With God ALL things are possible! God is the secret in all of life, no matter the issue or situation.
The following is a portion of an ongoing dialogue I had with Jess, the Reluctant Villain, who claimed he was a nar-soc, as he calls it. For more than five months, we had pages of back and forth conversation.
IN THE BEGINNING, he was certain he could never be changed – he didn’t want to change, didn’t see the need to change. He felt no emotion of any kind and yet he manipulated people in destructive ways – not physically (his boundary), but emotionally. And yet, he seemed to be searching for something, for answers, wanting to know why he was like that, because he asked lots of questions. No matter the encouragement I sent him on what his life could be like, to connect with his True Inner Power, at the end, he seemed to harden even more and refuse to shift, as if it was hopeless.
At the point where I decided there was no more point to continuing our discussion, a miracle happened.
Jess sent an email. I’ve compiled several into one.
Jess said,
“I had a moment that i cant explain, i went to the park, i walked the path ive walked many times, never once have i thought about the path, but as i walked it hit me like a lightning bolt, that this isnt me, but at the same time it is, and i can control who i am. when i got to my car, i looked around the park, tears started to come down, and a smile came to my face as i thought about it all, the tears weren’t because i felt bad, but because i saw for even the slightest second of what i could be instead.
i believe it’s true that I can be a better person, i WILL be a better person, Im going later this week to get a Semicolon tattoo so that every time i look at my forearm, im reminded that this isnt where my story ended, its where it began…i will take it 1 day at a time.
i cant change the pain i caused her (his latest ex-target), and I said i was honestly sorry to her this morning, she may not believe me and i understand that, but for me.. that was step 1 step 2 is to not concentrate on my mistakes, but to start my story from here, Chapter 1.
So last night i went and got that tattoo, and i gotta say every time i turn my wrist i see it and its a nice reminder that “This is where my Story begins” thats what was in my head all day, my work day flew by, wasnt constantly thinking the thoughts i normally do, normally im just concerned with what others think of what im doing so i can keep my stock up so to speak, but instead i just did what i needed to do to get my work done, not once caring what others thought of me like normal, i hope its something i can keep up, its a unique feeling to say the least.
I have always had very very violent dreams, and i always remember every dream, (but) last night i had a dream, and for the first time i dont remember it, but it made me wake up with a smile before falling back asleep, might mean nothing, just not something im used to is all.
Everything needs to be put behind me, i WILL make mistakes in the future, but it will be what i do after i make them that i am going to change, What i felt at that park was the first bit of emotion ive felt, it didnt last a whole long time, maybe 2 mins, but i want to feel that again, and i know i will.” ~ Jess
Does this man have a goal? Is the Divine working in and through him to bring about this miracle? Did you note the key words to success?
“I believe. I know I will.” He believes. He knows it will happen. Without doubt.
He even got a tattoo as a constant reminder to himself. The man whose life was hell, and made others’ lives hell, and who had no hope for changing, now believes he can and will change. And the change is already happening. He has decided to take it one day at time. Does he know the how? No, but he trusts, for the first time in his physical existence, that there is a better life for him and he’s going after it with all he has – focus, purpose, intention.
The reason I’ve inserted this life story here is because if Jeff’s life can change (when experts claim otherwise), then yours can too. Yours will.
Believe. Know it will happen. Without doubt.

***REMEMBER: You do not have to know the HOW, only the WHAT. The Divine takes care of the how. Listen to the urgings of your heart, the passions; those are God-seeds planted there for you to use and develop for your happiness and joy. In fact, the Divine is with you through everything – the entire process – as a co-creator of which goals are best for you, your belief in and trust that the goals are already yours, along with the Divine Implementer carrying out the how to a successful result – thought into form, cause into effect.

What do You Want – Really? Part 3: Turning Your Goals into Realities – #1 Visualization
Did you finalize your list of goals? Great! Congratulations! That is a huge step into turning your goals into realities because if you don’t know what you want, you’ll not achieve them.
#1: VISUALIZATION
Why? Because…
Turning goals into realities is more than wishful thinking;
It is an unwavering mental picture of your desire with expectation for the results in form.
BELIEVE IT. KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN. WITHOUT DOUBT.
The secret! None of the realities will happen without… FAITH. Turn everything over to your Source, to God, to the Divine that not only knows what is best for you, but the how, why, what and when.
***REMEMBER: You do not have to know the HOW, only the WHAT. The Divine takes care of the how.

Transforming your goals into Reality:
- Pick your top-priority, most-important goal to focus on first. Once you’ve chosen…
Either on your computer or paper, write down the goal you want to visualize and embody. Put several exclamation points behind it. Draw several underlines beneath it. Point arrows to it. Put hearts and stars and smiley faces around it. Surround it with your love. This goal is priority. Ultra important. Maybe the most important decision you are making at this point in your life. Give your goal the respect it deserves. Give it your all. That means don’t be wishy washy with it. Be committed. Connected to the Sacred Life Force. Unshakable from any outside illusory force. Your power is within. Focus on this one thing. Do you feel the power when you are that committed? When you do that, the world steps up and supports you.
Visualize
- Visualize means to co-create with the Divine a mental image – you can mentally see it, taste it, touch it, feel it, sense it – even be excited about it! This involves emotion, passion, desire. Lukewarm imaging equals lukewarm, if any, results. Really feel it deep down with a passion. Strong imaging transforms into strong results.
An example would be to express your goal symbolically in a painting. Another is to insert your goals onto a Faith Wheel. A third could be to list out a menu, knowing that what you order will be brought to you. What other ways of visualizing are meaningful to you?
For me, I put it on a Faith Wheel that ways, Thank You God/Jesus, My Source for….and list the goal and the resulting reality. I see the project as already completed, trusting in God for the timing, the how, and the final actualization. When I do that, I feel the excitement. I’m there.
This is the prayer I say:
Thank You, God, for turning this (goal), into a reality greater than I even imagined, all according to your will.
- Write down your image/s? There might be several.
How do you feel about those images? Secure? Positive? Foolish? Uncertain? Doubtful? Fearful? Or determined. Confident. Without doubt. Powerful.
- Do you feel the Divine is a co-partner in the process, and that you’ve opened up to and surrendered to Divine Will? If not, then how might you accomplish that vital connection?

HELPFUL GOETHE QUOTES:
“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe“The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.”
― Johann Wolfgang von GoetheAt the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.
“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back– Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” Goethe
