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…”
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.
Why do some of us have such a hard time with this truth? Its a come to Jesus moment.
The reason we create a God who is heaven, far away from us, is because we don’t want God near to us. Admit it! It is you that are trying to push God away from yourself in 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. For this reason, we chose 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.
You don’t want Him|Her to be there; 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 because that is too intimate. Sunday for hour maybe, but not every moment of every day.
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.”
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 ever-present now, you just have blinded yourself to His|Her loving presence within you.
You would be correct in your understanding, if you saw God as a child. You see, He|She was one thing and then transformed into something else through a rebirth. God was one thing prior to the creation of the universe and has become something else as a result of bring forth all things within it.
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.
What if it wasn’t that at all. What if the truth was that Christ was asking us to live in imitation of 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.
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 God’s yes. So it would be God when He|She is actually you.
Are you giggling yet, as a child at the absolute absurdity of what I have just described?
God is you! That is why you can’t find “Him|Her.”
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 her 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 ans us a becoming something else. Something grander and more beautiful all being created with love.
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 int his very moment, sharing your life with you.
Why? Because of the greatness of His|Her love and he protects and guides those of us who have become His|Her children by 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 and hope, of transformation and 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 body. And when we find it there we naturally rejoice at its presence. At least I do; do you?
Oh heresy, sweet heresy.
