God said:
There
are no packages of love, and there is no ownership. In Truth, there is
no ownership period. What is owned in the world? How can illusion be
owned? Many can have it. All can have it, and, yet, love is in no one’s
possession. It is everyone’s. It is all’s. Illusion does not stand on
its own. Poof, and illusion is gone.
Who
owns the rain? Or the sun? Who can keep anything to himself? I suppose
one can keep food to himself. Eat it all up. But then it is gone. I
suppose one could say the food has gone into his very cells. Yet who
owns his body, fat or lean?
We could say that you own your soul. It is your soul, after all, and yet, and yet, are souls owned? Certainly, your soul is in your keeping. And your soul is something you do take with you, and, yet, bye and bye, your soul melds into Me. Yes, We can consider that you own Me. You own Me more than anything else. I am yours. My arms are wide open for you.
Now, getting back to My point, does a mother own her child?
What
is the merit in ownership? You may say you own your house. You may live
in it all your life. Ultimately, you have leased your house. Whether
you like it or not, it is a rental. Even if you live in a house deeded
to you all of this life, it is a rental. You will leave it.
In
another sense, We could say that you own the world. There is Truth in
this. The world is yours to do with as you choose. The world is in your
hands. You do own responsibility for it.
Perhaps
you own when you give. You can own up to that. You own the nightingale
you free from the cage. You own its beauty as it flies and as it sings.
You own its happiness. The freer the nightingale, the more you own her.
You own what you give to her.
I like how I’m thinking. When you give a smile, you own it. When you give happiness, it is yours.
What
you keep under lock and key, you do not own. Nope, you do not own
diamonds. If you are attached to them, they own you. You pay insurance
for them and for a vault in the bank. You may own the key yet only for a
little while in the illusion of time and ownership.
And, so, We come back to the realization that you own nothing.
The richest man in the world owns nothing. He hardly owns his own freedom.
Who
has more freedom in his life, the billionaire or the swimmer at the
beach?
Who owns the Ocean? One can surf. It may be said that you caught a
wave, yet who can catch a wave? It can’t be put on the wall. Waves
cannot be kept. Waves can only come and go, just as that is the truth of
your body on Earth. Your body is a fluctuating thing, and then it is no
more.
And, yet, you, you the image of Me, you ARE.
