Peace is constant. The inconsistency of attack/demand cannot come into this constant. You do not need to people-please to have peace. It is kind and loving to not people-please, because, contrarily, to not people-please would be releasing the One Self – that we are – from attacking itself.
The only reason you condemn yourself is to prove yourself to a world, or a loveless thought in the mind, to earn provision. But the world, or a loveless thought in the mind, doesn’t provide. Love provides. Feel how you feel and know that love provides. Let the world go it hasn’t provision.
People-pleasing is an indirect way of being worthy of the world providing for you. You only people-please if you think there’s a point of importance in the rest of the world. Withdraw or retract this over-extending. The only pain is the belief that it does provide, is important, or there’s shame in not sourcing from it. No longer needing from the world is a kind release for you as the One Self; it will no longer (seem to) attack.
A ‘future’ and ‘approval’ are the same. In a future you are different and therefore worthy – that’s not love.
‘That love can approve and disapprove: without this thought is revealed another one: ‘that I’m yearning for love to be approval so I can approve myself’. But love is not there in this yearning, in this future, in this image. It is unconditional.
That which needs from you in anyway, predicated on exception of Self, including needing you to be worthy of what it ‘gives’ is not God – it’s approval and therefore unwritten.
Guilt is not love. Love doesn’t switch from tyranny to tenderness. Figures can do this but they are not an example of reality.
One cannot be attacked, because all attack thoughts are about the individual themselves or who they think themselves to be; and also, all attack thoughts haven’t any given cause. They are therefore without power and not applicable.
Peace is the only reality. There is no contention, for what is otherwise is past – gone. I cannot be attacked. Anything that suggests this is past. Approval is similar if not the same as attack, they are unmade thoughts held in the mind who thinks delusions. They are untrue thoughts about themselves. Their thoughts of lack are just that. They cannot harm because they cannot extend and because they are gone or over. Attack and approval can’t provide. They weren’t created.
