"It's important to learn about Divine Dichotomy and understand it thoroughly if you are to live in our universe with grace. Divine Dichotomy holds that it is possible for two apparently contradictory truths to exist simultaneously in the same space.
Now on your planet people find this difficult to accept. They like to have order, and anything that does not fit into their picture is automatically rejected. For this reason, when two realities begin to assert themselves and they seem to contradict one another, the immediate assumption is that one of them must be wrong, false, untrue. It takes a great deal of maturity to see, and accept, that, in fact, they might both be true.
Yet in the realm of the absolute—as opposed to the realm of the relative, in which you live—it is very clear that the one truth which is All There Is sometimes produces an effect which, viewed in relative terms, looks like a contradiction. This is called Divine Dichotomy”
⠀❛⠀Bien. Ahora debes saber que hay tres sabidurías básicas que se encuentran en todo el diálogo. Éstas son:
1. Todos Somos Uno.
2. Hay suficiente.
3. No hay Nada Que Tengamos Que Hacer.
Si decidieran que "todos somos uno", dejarían de tratarse mutuamente de la manera como se tratan.
Si decidieran que "no hay nada que tengamos que hacer", dejarían de tratar de usar "el hacer" para solucionar sus problemas, sino más bien para moverse y venir de un estado de ser que haría desaparecer su experiencia de esos "problemas" y las condiciones se evaporarían.
Esta es quizá la verdad más importante de todas para que la comprendas en esta etapa de tu evolución y es un buen lugar para terminar este diálogo.
Siempre recuerda esto y conviértelo en tu mantra:
No hay nada que tengo que tener, no hay nada que tengo que hacer y no hay nada que tengo que ser, excepto exactamente lo que estoy siendo en este momento.
Esto no significa que "tener" y "hacer" serán eliminados de tu vida. Significa que lo que experimentas tener o hacer surgirá de tu ser, no te conducirá a éste.
Cuando vengas de la "felicidad", harás ciertas cosas porque eres feliz. Lo opuesto al antiguo paradigma en el que hacías las cosas que esperabas te harían feliz.
Cuando vengas de la "sabiduría", harás ciertas cosas porque eres sabio, no porque estás tratando de obtener sabiduría.
Cuando vengas del "amor", harás ciertas cosas porqeu estas enamorado, no porque desees tener amor.
Todo cambia, todo gira, cuando vienes de "ser", en lugar de buscar "ser". No puedes "hacer" las cosas para "ser". Si tratas de "ser" feliz, de ser sabio, de estar enamorado o de ser Dios, no puedes "llegar allí" haciendo. Sin embargo, es verdad que estarás haciendo cosas maravillosas una vez que "llegues allí".
Esta es la Dicotomía Divina. La forma para "llegar allí" es "estar allí". ¡Solo está donde elijas llegar! Es así de simple. No tienes que hacer nada. ¿Deseas ser feliz? Sé feliz. ¿Deseas ser sabio? Se sabio. ¿Deseas estar enamorado? Está enamorado.
Eso es Quien Eres en cualquier evento.
Tú eres Mi Amado Hermano.⠀❜
⠀❛⠀Now you should know that there are three basic wisdoms found throughout this entire dialogue. These are:
1. We Are All One.
2. There Is Enough.
3. There Is Nothing We Have To Do.
If you decided that "we are all one," you would stop treating each other the way you do.
If you decided that "there is nothing we have to do," you would stop trying to use "doing" to solve your problems, but rather move and come from a state of being that would dissolve your experience of those "problems" — and the conditions would evaporate.
This is perhaps the most important truth of all for you to understand at this stage of your evolution, and it's a good place to end this dialogue.
Always remember this and make it your mantra:
There is nothing I have to have, there is nothing I have to do, and there is nothing I have to be, except exactly what I'm being right now.
This does not mean that "having" and "doing" will be eliminated from your life. It means that what you experience having or doing will arise from your being, rather than lead you to it.
When you come from "happiness," you will do certain things because you are happy. The opposite of the old paradigm in which you did things hoping they would make you happy.
When you come from "wisdom," you will do certain things because you are wise, not because you are trying to obtain wisdom.
When you come from "love," you will do certain things because you are in love, not because you wish to have love.
Everything changes, everything shifts, when you come from "being," rather than seeking "being." You cannot "do" your way to "being." If you try to "be" happy, to be wise, to be in love, or to be God, you cannot "get there" by doing. Yet it is true that you will be doing wonderful things once you "get there."
This is the Divine Dichotomy. The way to "get there" is to "be there." Simply be where you choose to arrive! It's that simple. You don't have to do anything. Do you want to be happy? Be happy. Do you want to be wise? Be wise. Do you want to be in love? Be in love.
That is Who You Are in any event.
You are My Beloved.⠀❜
