You are a creator.
Do you know it?
Are you using the power of God given to you to create, heal, bless, comfort and uplift?
Most people are not using this power to create because they don’t know about it. Or they DO know about it – they’ve heard about it or read about it – but they don’t use it – therefore they don’t know it’s there. This power is the light within – your inheritance – but it’s useless when you don’t use it, even though it’s right here, available to you.
So for this week’s blog for The Teachers of God Foundation, I thought it would be fun to see how many people decide to begin acknowledging and using the power of God to create and heal.
Where to begin?
Right where you are, with some good old-fashioned honesty.
STEP ONE:
The first thing is TO CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF.
Ask yourself: “Am I wholly joyous?”
Ask yourself: “Am I in peace?”
If the answer is “no” that is the sign that you have separated yourself from the Love You Are. You believe you are a body, a person, a personality, separate from all the love that is available to you. If you are not experiencing perfect peace and perfect happiness, you are being a thing you are a not.
You are being an image that you made and getting all the effects of that decision.
So that’s step one.
STEP TWO:
Now ask yourself “Am I blocking the light in me or am I allowing it to extend?”
You don’t have to send love and light. You simply need to stop blocking it. It flows by itself because of its nature – but whenever you experience sickness or depression it means that you have taken the power of God (which is intended for creation) and you are using this power to block the love and hold the light in you.
No wonder you feel exhausted! It takes a tremendous amount of energy to hold in the light of God in you!
As humans, as bodies we say: I’m going to block all this love! I’m going to hold it all in! I’m on it!
How do we block this light and love? With fears, judgments, comparison ideas, attack thoughts, feeling unworthy, trying to remain safe.
In a nutshell: if you saw what you were doing, if you actually saw all this activity, you would stop it.
This can be a tricky one at first because we mistakenly believe that we can remain neutral and that our private thoughts have no effects.
Let me explain with one example:
You may feel that your situation is hopeless.
Maybe you have no money. Or you have lost your job. Or someone you love is sick. Maybe you are sick. Or perhaps someone is not being the way you want them be. Or maybe you think that a situation should be different.
In these examples then, you feel lost, weak, frail, uncertain, afraid and powerless.
Whenever you feel lost, weak, frail, uncertain, afraid or powerless, it means only one thing: You have forgotten the light that is yours to use. You have forgotten God.
I am not talking God in the religious sense, not a God outside of you.
I am talking about God that is the Love that is your Self, your true Identity. You are one with God. One with Love.
You were created perfect, complete and whole – with the power to create.
So, step two is all about Awareness. Are you blocking light and love in you? OR are you allowing the love that you are to flow to others?
Are you helping others to succeed? Are you reminding others of their brilliance and magnificence? Are you rejoicing with others, reminding them of their innocence and perfection?
Or are you secretly hoping they fail? Are you holding grievances about other people or situations?
Awareness is the key to happiness.
STEP THREE:
Create an Atmosphere of Love.
Here it is. You are going to use the power given to you to create.
Here you are going to find out that YOU ARE A CREATOR.
You are a healer, with the power to heal.
You are a creator, with the power to create.
You have the power to bring joy and peace and light with you, everywhere you go.
You have the power to create an atmosphere of love in every situation.
Here you must simply begin to experiment – to go on a leap of faith that what I am saying is true.
In any situation where you notice a grievance, upset or uncertainty, you are going to light it up with love.
It’s not enough to notice your thoughts and think “I forgive it.”
That won’t do it.
Let’s say there is a person in your life you do not like – and you REALLY want the peace of God – and you REALLY want to be out of conflict – so you have forgiven them and forgiven yourself.
But you find yourself still in conflict! Why is this?
Because you have not created an atmosphere of love.
It’s not enough to forgive. That’s a good start – but that’s not creation.
“Forgiveness does make lovely, but it does not create.” -A Course in Miracles
Forgiveness clears the space, but it’s not creation.
Now that you have forgiven the situation or the person or yourself, now you bless them with love and happiness and success. If you really have forgiven someone, then you want to give them everything! You suddenly want them to succeed! You want to help them!
When you have really forgiven, you begin reminding others of their innocence and beauty and power. You start thanking them for being in your life. You see them as the gift they truly are. You are thanking your lucky stars they are in your life and in the world!
You are rejoicing that your enemies have become your friends!
You use Christ vision to SEE all the ways they are bright and innocent, complete and perfect.
2020 vision in 2020!
You don’t stop at “well, I have forgiven them”. That’s not enough. You must help them. You must see yourself as one with them, your perfect friend, your Self.
What’s great about this practice, is you will get to see whether you REALLY want peace or not.
When you get to this place, you will see if you really want to ONLY LOVE or if you prefer to continue to hang onto your grievance.
I love that I get to work one-on-one and with groups all the time – so I get to see people reach this point and realize “I don’t want to do that.”
Haha! And once they see this, they start laughing too. They thought other people were the problem, but then they realize: Oh, I’m the one who doesn’t want to give this up! I’m the one who doesn’t want to change!
They think they want to love, until they come to the point of decision and they realize: “No, I am NOT going to love that person. I don’t like what they did. I don’t like what they are doing. I’d rather hang onto this grievance.”
Perfect! Then be happy that you are getting what you want!
So, now the choice is yours.
Do you want to be a healer and creator?
Or would you prefer to hang onto your grievances and stay in conflict. Which is the same as saying: Would you prefer to remain powerless, weak, frail, uncertain, angry, sick and depressed?
The choice is yours.
Join with this power and begin to use it to create.
Or remain a victim, hoping the world changes.
There is only love – and we all in it together. Nothing is outside of this love – and if you think there is then you are outside of this love also – and that is not possible.
I am with you.
PRACTICE:
Sometime today (or this week if it’s not possible today), set aside one hour to connect with God. I’ll be with you. Put aside all thoughts of disbelief. Simply sit quietly and talk with God, which is the light and love you are. Don’t worry if you think nothing is happening. Ask that God’s Will be done – and remember that God’s Will is perfect peace and perfect happiness. Don’t try to make anything happen. Allow yourself to be surprised. Allow the light in you to do its mighty work. You are simply joining with it. Acknowledging it as your Self. Reaching it. Abiding with it.
For this one hour, be with God as you would a friend. Have a conversation. And think of me as being with you.
You might decide there is cake and coffee there. It’s a time of relaxation and a new beginning.
STEP FOUR:
Give thanks.
Give thanks for the healing. Give thanks that God’s Will is done. Don’t wait for proof or evidence. Simply give thanks. Stay in gratitude, appreciation and love.
STEP FIVE:
Listen deeply within in silence. This light – the power of God – is pure Intelligence. It will speak to you. It will guide you perfectly. Trust what comes to you. And finally …
STEP SIX:
Do what this voice asks. Trust in this voice entirely – and do what it instructs. Don’t block it with fear. If this voice asks you to do something that seems impossible, do it anyways. This “voice” comes through as intuition, a gut feeling or a thought. You may have a thought to go somewhere. Go there. If you have a thought to reach out to someone, reach out to them.
Have fun with this practice as you step into being a Creator.

This is SO good. I recognized the image I created as a child of watching like a hawk the ways I am offended, attacked, mistreated etc. I never stopped to create a new image. I don’t want it anymore! Thank you!
Lisa as always such a joy to listen to your teachings, they have changed my life in so many beautiful ways! I want to say I heard Bill say recently that he was pondering the sliding back people go through and what makes the final draw to stay as the light? I know for me it was staying with the teaching of the course (mainly yours), and after being consistent of watching my thoughts like a hawk, I can see I didn’t have the self love that I believe is the main ingredient for forgiveness (of myself and only myself). You did it beautifully for me the first time you saw me, and I saw you do it yesterday for Suzanne on the Friday TOG call. I felt it again when you did that for her and told her to feel it for herself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life to keep showing me this, Thank you! Love Jilly
