So the consciousness of God that is me, spoke to our heart this morning, and this is what He|She said to me:
It matters not how, or under what religious system, that you chose or were indoctrinated into as a child, that you follow to worship me; it matters not what name you call me by, all that truly matters is how your spiritual path, no matter what it is, changes you into a fuller more intimate approximation of me in the world, and how it informs your heart in the pursuit of loving-kindness and mercy.
Call me, Jesus, call me Allah, call me Shiva, worship me as Shakti, cleanse your mind and heart in the way of Buddha; your path matters not to me, for I am all of these.
ye ‘pyanya-devatā-bhaktā yajante śhraddhayānvitāḥ
te ‘pi mām eva kaunteya yajantyavidhi-pūrvakam
9:23 “Even those devotees who, endowed with faith, worship other gods, worship Me alone, O son of Kunti, (but) following the wrong method (or in an indirect way).”
ahaṁ hi sarva-yajñānāṁ bhoktā cha prabhur eva cha
na tu mām abhijānanti tattvenātaśh chyavanti te
9:24 “For I am the only enjoyer and the Lord of all sacrifices…
The God that is transcendent in me, is the God of the Heart, and some day, when I return to the presence of the One, as the Great Thoth says, my heart, has recorded all of the actions of my life; everything I am has been held, to be remembered again, when I finally am given the sight to worship God in Truth, and that heart of mine, will be weighed on a scale, with the opposite side holding a feather, and this will reveal all and everything about the God I worship within myself.
For too long, religion has been used as a salve of the conscious, that deludes us into believing that our actions don’t have consequences for our souls. Pay off the right bishop, buy an indulgence from the pope, let the blood of Christ cover your sins,
follow hard austerities, give up the joys of life to live downcast and forlorn, all so you can fool the God who is writing these words through me.
You are fooling nobody, and God is not impressed with your austerities and sacrifices, for the God in me, judges the hearts of men.
Don’t listen to the fools in pulpits, and in cathedrals who say that your actions don’t matter, for I can assure you they are lying to you so you will continue to fill the plate.
There is so much for you to do in this life as a reflection of the God that dwells with you. He|She is always with you; you can never part ways, because the breath you take is the breath of God, and the mind that you use is leant to you by the living One, all that you are has been given to you as a gift, and there is an expectation, that when you come to understand this fact, this “truth,”
that you will be transformed by God’s gift of life and love within you.
All of us fall short of the glory or God. All of us sin. This world is hard, and this is fully known, appreciated and felt by God, for God is always with you. You just haven’t stopped long enough; caught up as you are in your endless pursuit, of this and that. All if your mindless and selfish activity, is a shroud that prevents you from seeing and pursuing the God that is fully present within you.
You can never find God in a religion that has been created by somebody else, you can only find God within yourself. There is not a right or wrong way, this is a lie from the pit of hell.
So stop. Throw away everything you are carrying; strip your soul naked of all ideation of what is, and simply rest within God.
Take a moment and rest within the presence of God that is within you. Take time to just rest and be with God, and you will ignite a flame that can never be extinguished, and you will never have to worry whether your heart is as light as a feather. If you could only find the path to the place where your heart fully understands the depth of the love of God, you would never worry and never lose faith in the One is ever present within you. And who is in fact your very self, your shared being, your ever existence unity or presence. God always dwells with His|Her children, especially those who are the most lost.
So stop, be still and know the God who has always loved you, nurtured you and cared for the being that is His|Hers in you.
Oh, and I awoke to a disturbing dream; I was looking down the lake I live on and there were missile and artillery batteries, attempting to shoot down enemy missiles that were falling from the sky. People were standing and staring at the scene aghast mainly because we were being overwhelmed. The United States was being attacked and we were totally unprepared.
Its time to stop the silly games you are playing. Its time to be still and find the presence of God within you.
I have a new game I play: its called stop light meditation. None of us can find the time to rest in God, yet every day God gives you the gift of stop lights. Bet you didn’t know they were a gift did you. They stop your movement, and mostly, as they do, we let our mind spin with worries and planning. STOP THIS! All those problems and fantasies will take care of themselves. Use this gift of time to come into God’s presence for a short period of Holy Communion. I assure you it will change your day.
