What is Respect? - The long version
The long version, is… well, longer.
Respect…
… is an exceptionally Good and Desirable Gift.
… is to embrace and express our own Divine Nature.
… is an expression of Who We Truly Are and therefore a "hands on"
experience.
… establishes our basic or essential character and Nature.
… facilitates expression of our HUMANE and therefore benevolent Nature.
… is to welcome and accept not only our own Humanity, but that of other
living beings as well.
… does not have to be earned by anyone. Worthiness does not have to be proven
or gained by anyone.
… is to recognize that we and others are Whole and Complete notwithstanding
the false witness against this.
… is based on equality or equal standing. There is no superior nor inferior,
no oppressor nor oppressed, no predator nor consumer, no abuser nor victim.
Just equal to equal or, as Father has Said a few times here and there, "mano a
mano" (hand to hand).
… is to recognize that because we are entitled to Respect, it is our Right to
ask [Father] that anyone who chooses to interact with us do so with Respect or
simply be non to us / we be non to them.
… is to not play with and to not support those who seek to dis-Respect
us.
… is to remain centered, and focused on our Divine Nature when others loose
theirs. It is to not play.
… is to Respect others.
… is to monitor what is happening within us and what we are doing throughout
the day to ensure that what we do and think is of one a-chord with our daily
choice (see First Breath).
… is to regain and maintain our capacity to act upon our own (TRUE)
Desire.
… is to treat and conduct ourselves in such a way that allows our inner Light
to shine and fill our Being.
… is to welcome our Feeling Tone.
… is to conduct ourselves in a way that favors manifestation of Father’s Good
Will and Intent for us and therefore brings Peace, Prosperity, Gladness, and
Hope to our lives.
… is to have Clarity of Vision and to be free of impurity or anything that
dims or darkens our perception and expression.
… is to choose that which supports our capacity to Live in Truth and supports
our Vision and Injoyment of Creation.
… is to be Joyous and Light Hearted.
… is to develop the Discernment and refined perception that allows us to
quickly and readily cut or see through the deception and end our play. In other
words, Respect makes it possible to "cut through the bull" and stand in
Truth.
… is to regain our Divine Sovereignty and to stop making ourselves
subservient to others / deception.
… is to be True to ourSelves and our Divine Sovereignty without leaning,
attacking, defending, or imposing our will on others.
… is to not allow ourselves to be victimized by others and to do so without
leaning, attacking, defending, or imposing our will on them.
… is to recognize that just because we Respect others, it does not mean we
should Trust them nor welcome them in our lives.
… is to receive a person with "sincerity of feeling" and allows someone to be
greeted with "I do not play. Get thee away. Get thee away ends your
play". Honesty is all that is required. Respect is not about a "holier
than thou" attitude, but about a "common ground" issue.
… is to recognize we need not accept or live under anything other than
Father’s Good Will and Intent for us and to recognize His Good Will and Intent
for us is Benevolent.
… facilitates our realignment with our True Self and True Will. It is to be
True to ourSelves.
… allows us to reawaken to the realization that Father’s Will and Intent for
us happens to be just what our True Will for ourselves is.
… is to give ourselves the needed time to make a Proper decision, rather than
acting on impulse. It is to not respond based on the "latest fire" /
urgent demands / oppressive influences, but rather based on what is Right
Action and Right Manifestation of Father’s Good Will and Intent.
… is to free ourselves from the constraints of worldly demands, by
recognizing that we have no allegiance to the deception and any of its
purveyors.
… is to recognize that, as Father has Said:
It matters not what others may say or think.
It matters always only That Which Is
Divinely Appointed each day.
… is a way of Life, a way of Living, a way of Being.
… is to allow Father’s Presence to be actively Present.
… is to express our inner Joy.
… is to be Good-Hearted and Benign. It is Natural, Lawful, and of one a-chord
with Nature / Creation. It is Harmonious with the way Creation was set out to
be.
… is Noble and is an expression of our Nobility and therefore moral
excellence.
… is to stop looking to the right or to the left for answers. It is to
straighten our Walk and Life with the Father and return to that which is
Natural, Lawful, and Noble.
… is to recognize that it is a mistake to think that we must leave our
Humanity behind the moment we step out of bed so as to become whatever is
expected of us by family, friends, religion, work, and duty. It is to
understand we did not come to Earth to be "great pretenders".
… is to be Authentic, Real, and completely Honest. It is to be True to
our Divine Nature.
… is to Properly and Abundantly Nourish our body and Soul, not only with
food, but also with clean air, water, sunshine, natural surroundings, creative
undertakings, and the Mystical and Magical.
… is to create a Natural, Soul Nourishing, Joy conducive inner and outer
environment.

Soul.

Creator.
… is LightHearted and Simple and therefore strengthens Soul, Spirit, and
Heart.
… increases inner Wealth and natural resources.
… is Harmonious with the Natural Harmonic music of Life.
… is to use Power and Energy Properly.
… supports and facilitates a sound mind and allows others the space to make
their own choices free of moral, religious, contractual, and energetic
manipulation / coercion.
… supports that which is Peaceful and serene, Harmonious and Balanced, and
therefore physical and mental "quietness".
… is to allow others to follow their own path and let Universal Law balance
any transgressions.
… is to understand that, as Father has Said, "Divine Answers Respect all
living things". That is to say… that which is Divine does not lie, cheat,
steal, mislead, nor harm. Instead, that which is Divine has a keen sense of
what is Right and Just and acts accordingly. That which is Divine can be
Trusted for it is based on Universal Law and Universal Truth.
