1 Chronicles:
“Seek the Lord and his strength,
seek his presence continually!”
“Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Let the trees of the forest sing,
let them sing for joy before the Lord…”
You have to love the heart vision of the trees singing to God, don’t you? I will always now see them thus and will rejoice with them at the wonder of You and the ever-flowing All.
So for many of us, the eternal question is why does God hide from us. Why does he make us use our imagination to create Him|Her in our own hearts and minds. You might think that God would want to be seen and appreciated. My Master, My Father and My Mother have all informed my heart, that they are with me, right now.
They are an ever present force within me because I have invited them into the very substance of myself.
Why do some of us have such a hard time with this truth? Its a come to Jesus, Krishna, Kali-Ma moment.
The reason we create a God who is heaven, far away from us, is because we don’t want God to be near to us. Admit it! It is you that are trying to push God away from yourself, into a place of separation from your being, because you are ashamed.
Genesis 3: 8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked?”
Don’t you see, God is not the One hiding, it is us that hide from God. We hide from the very presence of God that dwells within us, because we long to sin in privacy. What Human would want God to see the vile acts we’re often up to in this world. So, this is the reason we choose to place God away from us because we can’t bear His|Her light, as we dwell in darkness.
And I’m not saying this in order to raise the dial on your guilt, as in some rollicking camp revival meeting, but rather I am led to gently and lovingly show you why you can’t find God when he is fucking right inside of you.
Actually, I am here to give you incredibly good news; you are the very essence of God, an actual fractal portion of his being and are held within the power of His|Her glory in this world. You have been listening to demons again, whose only aim is to suck on your lower vibrations; make them stop. Make them stop so you can discover who and what your are and escape from the narrative of falsehood that you have been taught and which you have accepted into your heart and mind.
So we come back to the truth, which is that you don’t want Him|Her to be here with you; or more correctly, you don’t want to acknowledge that God is always with you.
We cannot allow God to exist as a being we can see and touch with our spiritual selves, because that is too intimate. Sunday for hour maybe, but not every moment of every day. Yet, you must now understand, even if we wanted to shield ourselves and our actions in this world, we can’t possibly do it, so just give up, just surrender to the presence of God in you.
I love you so much and I want to unleash the intimacy of God within you as a gift from the One who has been merciful to me. And if I have an understanding that God in His|Her love is merciful to me, then I can also only be merciful in my actions within the world…
…or least I try, and I accomplish it best, by being the hand of God, randomly blessing other people, in the same way that these very words have been loaded with the power of God to bless you. By the power of the Holy Spirit within me I cast, three times, the abundant blessing from the heart of God into you.
1 Peter 4: “Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.”
Dattatreya’s “Song of the Avadhut.”
3– Beyond “high” and “low,” I’m the same Self in all.
Beyond “inner” and “outer,” I’m the same Self in all.
If there is only the One, I’m the same Self in all;
Why lament, then, O mind? I am the same self in All.
19– “There’s no state of liberation and no state of bondage;
There’s no state of virtue, and no state of sin.
There’s no state of perfection and no state of imperfection;
Why lament, then, O mind? I am the same self in all.
6:2– ” In the Supreme there is neither division or non-division;
In the Supreme there is neither activity or inactivity.
If there’s only the limitless One, all is Shiva;
What then, is the need of austerities and rites?”
4:6– I’m not bound to righteousness; I’m not bound to sin.
I’m not bound to bondage, nor to liberation;
neither of these affects me at all.
My nature is Freedom; there’s no maya in me.”
3:10– Sinless, I consume all sins; I’m the sacrificial fire.
Dutiless, I consume all duties; I’m the sacrificial fire.
Boundless. I consume all bondage; I’m the sacrificial fire.
I’m Nectarian knowledge, unchanging bliss; I’m everywhere, like space.
3:11– I’m beyond non-existence and beyond existence;
these don’t pertain to me.
I’m both union and separation; these don’t pertain to me.
I’m beyond Unconsciousness and Consciousness; these don’t pertain to me.
I am Nectarian knowledge, unchanging bliss; I’m everywhere like space.
4:1– “Where is the need to make offerings or prostrations?
or to practice worship with flowers and leaves?
why practice meditation and repetition of mantras?
The worshipper and Shiva are one and the same.”
4:6– “I’m not bound to righteousness; I’m not bound to sin.
I’m not bound yo bondage, nor liberation;
Neither of these affects me at all.
My nature is Freedom; there’s no maya in me.”

Here is the thing, when we love others, we are actually pouring God out of ourselves into other Human beings. So give the gift of love. Give the gift of the God that is always within you.
This is what has been promised to us, how do you plan to deal with this, since the way you live now is to hide from God? Revelation 21: “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; 4 he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.”
Where will you be when this happens. Where are you now?
Psalm 139: “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.“
God is the ever-present now, you just have blinded yourself to His|Her loving presence within you.
So here is the fun, rolling on the floor, laughing with your dog bit…you would be correct in your understanding, if you saw God as a child. You see, He|She was one thing and is now transforming into something else, through a rebirth, by your presence within Brahman and God’s presence within you. God was one thing prior to the creation of the universe and is becoming something else as a result of bringing forth all things in love. The love that this awakening Child-God never experienced until he descended with us flowing out of Him|Her.
Not only did God bring the universe into creation, he also became the child of the creation. Why did Jesus tell us that we needed to become as little children. I used to think that it was because he wanted us to imitate the trusting, freeing and loving attitude of children. Which is still true but there is much more to understand.
What if it was way beyond all that. What if the truth was that Christ was asking us to live in imitation of the Child-God, who cast away His|Her power and glory in order to become our Father. And what if God had to divide a united being into a separated masculine and feminine dynamic in order for the Human to embody His or Her form?
So if God is hiding, where the fuck is he? What if he is hiding in plain sight. What if he is not hiding at all but is actually fully revealed in you and the other Humans that inhabit creation? And what if he is not only us, but everything we move within.
Can’t you see how we could lose God within the creation he is generating from out of Him|Herself.
So God is in fact not hiding, He|She is actually everywhere; both within you and surrounding you.
When you look out of your eyes at the world, you are looking through the eye of God. So, in fact, it would be God looking and experiencing all you do; yet you perceive it all as strictly as your vision alone. And here is the important bit; if this is so, then you can never escape God’s presence that rests within you. What kind of a God have you created in your mind, that you think He|She would be shocked about what you get up to in your Human form.
Yet, here is one warning form the Christ, you can grieve the the Holy Spirit if you blaspheme her, so please stay away form that quagmire.
Are you giggling yet, have you rediscovered your inner child, who if you would let it expand within you, would be laughing hysterically at the absolute absurdity of what I have just described?
God is you! That is why you can’t find “Him|Her.” You’re a fool searching for yourself. Wasn’t this what the Buddha taught liberated ourselves, once we truly understand it.
Can’t you see the joke is on you and its pretty damn funny; the fact that we perceive God as far, far away, when he is actually within us and surrounding us. And here is the incredible part; he loves us so much, and is trying to understand and love us; as he transforms himself, in His|Her childhood within us, become something else…something much better than He|She was before.
God is being transformed by His|Her creative impulse. Within this womb of being, both God and us are becoming something else. We are like conjoined caterpillars, held within a cocoon of becoming, changing into something spellbindingly beautiful. Don’t you trust the power of God to transform all things within you, out of His|Her ocean of love? Something grander and more beautiful is being created within you. All you have to do is acknowledge it and submit to it.
And you are really a fool if you don’t dive head first into this; nothing you are carrying can compare to the glory of the Gift God is holding within you.
Don’t you get it? God is you; you fucking dumb shit. And God also surrounds you. It is so beyond yet it is so close.
Joshua 1:9– “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.“
Psalm 23: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.“
Don’t you see, we are all sharing God-Consciousness and if that is true, then the neutral being of the All is within us and we flow upon the ever present consciousness of God. So God is alway with us, even when we perceive falsely in our mind, that he is on some throne in heaven. He is not. He|She is with you, right now in this very moment, sharing your life with you.
Why? Because of the greatness of His|Her love as he protects and guides those of us who have become His|Her children, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Many people cannot fathom and will not bow to this irritation of God. But I for one love my Child-God. The God of becoming, of hope, of transformation, movement, of overcoming and ascension. Both God and us transforming into something better together as one, in this very moment.
Father, Mother be with me always, through the good and bad, through the failures and victories. Let me always acknowledge your presence in me. You do remember the story of “the pearl of great price?” It is the pearl of God that is trapped within the shell of our material bodies and deceived minds. And when we find it there we naturally rejoice at its presence. At least I do; do you? Again, in case you are slow-witted or spiritually stunted, I cast upon you the power of God, so the presence might be felt, moment by moment, now and forever more.
Chapter 7:1 — A patched rage from the roadside serves as a shawl
To the Advadhut, who has no sense of pride or shame.
Naked, he sits in an empty shack,
Immersed in the pure, stainless bliss of the Self.
7:2– “His attainment is beyond attaining or non-attaining;
His state is beyond that of union or separation;
he is continually established in the one stainless Reality.
How can the Avadhut either speak or not speak?”
7:3– “Free from the bondage of the fetters of hope,
Free from the yoke of acceptable conduct,
Free from everything, he’s thus attained peace.
He is the stainless One, the pure Absolute.”
7:4– “From him, where is the question of being embodied or bodiless?
Where is the question of attachment or non-attachment?
Pure and unpartitioned as the infinite sky,
He is, Himself, the Reality in Its natural form.”
Avadhut” refers to one who has renounced all worldly attachments and connections and lives in a state beyond body consciousness. He has shaken off all cares and concerns, possessions and positions, along with all concepts and labels that interfere with his direct perception of Reality.
