God said:
In Whose Name do you speak? Do you speak in your name or in Mine? Whose speech would you rather use?

Whose heart would you rather be yours? Whose heart would you rather express? Whose heart would you rather serve?

You have had quite a bit of speaking in your name, or in your ego. I know you would like to be done with every shade of disturbance and perturbance.

Disturbance seems to appear as something outside you whereas, with the word perturbance, it seems more clear that perturbance is something that belongs to you, something that in some backward way, you extol as though it were something great that ennobles you.

Be done with perturbance now. We are talking about smallness, and you are someone designated to be great.

This irritation within you is something to renounce.

You’ve endured it long enough. You would much rather feel good will. You would. I know you would.

And yet you have shackled yourself with petty perturbances.

Break those bounds.

If you desire good will, and only good will, why not have it? In order to feel good will across the board, you have to be done with hurt feelings.

Let’s say it fair and square:

Hurt feelings are a manifestation of ego. It is ego who hurts your feelings. It is not high-mindedness.

It is not because you are finer or more sensitive than another. What it is is that you are riddled with ego.

There are no two ways about it, and, yes, you want to be done with ego, only, at the same time, you are adamant at holding onto your pride.

Pride, defense, all such, are embellishments of ego.

You are not meant to be the Princess and the Pea.

To make sure that the Princess is really royalty, the royal prince’s mother, the Queen, put a pea under twenty mattresses and twenty eiderdowns over that, and still the Princess slept badly.

In fact, she was black and blue from the pea that disturbed her sleep!

Really, a better test of royalty would be how good-natured you are.

This reveals a true princess. To be super-sensitive doesn’t make you better than someone who doesn’t warm up to intense sensitivity.

The true answer for you is to stop being so sensitive.

Yes, life is about you, yet all of life is not about you. Sure, yes, you are a main player, yet you are one of many. You must let go of overweaning sensitivity.

Have sensitive feelings for the one you seemingly see as hurting your heart. The one you felt hurt your heart is no doubt puzzled.

You are not to set up a mystery. It is better that you be an open book. It is better that you think differently, see differently, react differently.

Be more receptive, more ready and willing to make allowances for others rather than ejecting them from your good will.

It is better for you to be gracious. Give others the benefit. Be sensitive to others’ needs.

Every single person in the world reads a different book and draws different conclusions.

Every one of My children is different, and each one is the same.

Be gracious. Be a gracious sir or lady under all circumstances.

There is no flag that you have to hold up that has to say: “Here is a person to treat with delicacy.”

Better to be rough and tumble. Better to be love rather than so elegantly sensitive. Better to give love than take umbrage.

Care about how you interact with the world and others more than you feel duty-bound to represent yourself. You don’t need a defender.

You don’t need a bodyguard. Be true royalty.

Even if you should slip on a dozen peas, do not mind so much the image in someone else’s mind.
