Purpose – or the purposeful life

Maybe they are the same thing. Maybe not. What I’m going to do here tonight though is jump back in time, giggle, those of you who have read Book 2, will know I am simply stepping back onto a sheaf of paper on the spindle upon which I have before rested. :^). Those of you who haven’t, well, I’m going to quote from Book 2, a section prior to that which I wrote about last night, though it begins with essentially the same question posed by Neale to God.

Neale: “Why did Hitler go to heaven? (I know you have just tried to explain this but somehow I need more.) And what is the purpose behind all events? And how does this Larger Purpose relate to Hitler and other despots.” gene inserts, not necessarily despots alone!

God: “Lets go to Purpose first.
All events, all experiences, have as their purpose the creating of opportunity. Events and experiences are Opportunities. Nothing more, nothing less.
It wold be a a mistake to judge them as “works of the devil”, “punishments from God,” “rewards from Heaven,” or anything in between. They are simply Events and Experiences – things that happen.
It is what we think of them, do about them, be in response to them, that gives them meaning.
Events and experiences are opportunities drawn to you – created by you individually or collectively, through consciousness. Consciousness creates experience. You are attempting to raise your consciousness. you have drawn these opportunities to you in order that you might use them as tools in the creation and experiencing of Who You Are. Who You Are is a being of higher consciousness than you are now exhibiting.
Because it is My Will that you should know, and experience, Who You Are, I allow you to draw to yourself whatever event or experience you choose to create in order to do that.
Other Players in the Universal Game join you from time to time – either as Brief Encounters, Peripheral Participants, Temporary Teammates, Long-Term Inter-actors, Relatives and Family, Dearly Loved Ones, or Life Path Partners.
These souls are drawn to you by you. You are drawn to them by them. It is a mutually creative experience, expressing the choices and desires of both.

No one comes to you by accident.
There is no such thing as coincidence.
Nothing occurs at random.
Life is not a product of chance.

Events, like people, are drawn to you, by you, for your own purposes. Larger planetary experiences and developments are the result of group consciousness. They are drawn to your group as a whole as a result of the choices and desires of the group.”

Neale: “What do you mean by the term “your group”?

God: “Group consciousness is something that is not widely understood – yet it is extremely powerful and can, if you are not careful, often overcome individual consciousness. You must always, therefore, endeavor to create group consciousness wherever you go, and with whatever you do, if you wish your larger life experience on the planet to be harmonious.
If you are in a group whose consciousness does not reflect your own, and you are unable to at this time to effectively alter the group consciousness, it is wise to leave the group, or the group could lead you. It will go where it wants to go, regardless where you want to go.
If you cannot find a group whose consciousness matches your own, be the source of one. Others of like consciousness will be drawn to you.
Individuals and smaller groups must affect larger groups – and, ultimately, the largest group of all, which is ALL humankind – for there to be permanent and significant change on your planet.
Your world, and the condition it is in, is a reflection of the total, combined consciousness of everyone living there.
As you can see by looking around you, much work is left to be done. Unless, of course, you are satisfied with your world as it is.
Surprisingly, most people are. That is why the world does not change.
Most people are satisfied with a world in which differences, not similarities, are honored, and disagreements are settled by conflict and war.
Most people are satisfied with a world in which survival is for the fittest, “might is right”, competition is required, and winning is called the highest good.
If such a system also happens to produce “losers” – so be it – so long as you are not among them.
Most people are satisfied, even though such a model produces people who are often killed when they are judged “wrong”, starved and rendered homeless when they are “losers”, oppressed and exploited when they are not “strong.”
Most people define “wrong” as that which is different from them. Religious differences, in particular, are not tolerated, nor are many social, economic, or cultural differences.
Exploitation of the underclass is justified by the self-congratulatory pronouncements from the upper class of how much better off their victims are now than they were before these exploitations. By this measure the upper class can ignore the issue of how all people ought to be treated if one were being truly fair, rather than merely making a horrible situation a tiny bit better – and profiting obscenely in the bargain.
Most people laugh when one suggests any kind of system other than the one currently in place, saying that behaviors such as competing and killing and the “victor taking the spoils” are what makes their civilization great! Most people even think there is no other natural way to be, that is the nature of humans to behave in this manner, and that to act any other way wold kill the inner spirit that drives man to succeed. (No one asks the question, succeed at what?
Difficult as it is for truly enlightened beings to understand, most people on your planet believe in this philosophy, and that is why most people don’t care about the suffering masses, the oppression of minorities, the anger of the underclass, or the survival needs of anyone but themselves and their immediate families.
Most people do not see that they are destroying their Earth – the very planet which gives them Life – because their actions seek only to enhance their quality of life. Amazingly, they are not far-sighted enough to observe that short-term gains can produce long-term losses, and often do, and will.
Most people are threatened by group consciousness, a concept such as the collective good, a one-world overview, or a God who exists in unity with all creation, rather than separate from it.
The fear of anything leading to unification and your planet’s glorification of All That Separates produces division, disharmony, discord – yet you do not seem to have the ability even to learn from your own experience, and so you continue your behaviors, with the same results.
The inability to experience the suffering of another as one’s own is what allows such suffering to continue.
Separation breeds indifference, false superiority. Unity produces compassion, genuine equality.
The events which occur on your planet – which have occurred regularly for 3000 years – are, as I’ve said, a reflection of the Collective Consciousness of “your group” – the whole group on your planet.
That level of consciousness could be best be described as primitive”.

And that, my loves, leads us to where yesterday’s post began. Again, much to think about. But is there anything here with which one can honestly disagree? Is this NOT the way of life on Earth as we know it? Is it NOT separation, division, differences that keep us from unity? Is the reason we war because we have been wronged? Or is it because “they” are different than “we”? “They” believe something different than “we”. Is not the entire war on terrorism based on this one simple fact? Is not the 1.5 trillion dollars the United States has poured down this particular rat hole all because “they” believe something different than do “we”? Did we NOT go to them and foment rebellion amongst them? Did we not plant agents and provocateurs among them to bring dissension to the Muslim world? Was not our purpose to make them become like “us”. Is there not now a cabal in THIS country dedicated to enforcing the rule of christianity over the entire globe? And are those people not willing sacrifice whatever amount of money and lives it takes to do that? How are “we” any different than “they”.

It will only be when we realize that we are ONE people, on ONE world, that we are all the SAME under our multi-hued skins, that we will begin to address and heal the divisions between us. It will require bringing religion to its knees. Collective religion, I mean, and by that I mean, ALL of them. Religion’s time has passed and it is time for a New Age of spirituality that acknowledges the divine in each soul on this planet.

I often quote Steve Goodier, a Christian minister, in this space, yesterday’s article was wonderful, but I didn’t use it. I am instead today going to use just one paragraph from it. Namaste. He used it this way: “Namaste” is a polite Indian gesture of greeting or farewell. From Hindi, the word literally means “bowing to you.” Namaste has also been used to mean “I honor the sacred that is within you.” What a remarkable thing it would be to actually honor the sacred that is within each person we meet! Even strangers. Nobody would go unnoticed and everybody would count.

I first heard the term on the CWG list at Spiritweb 9 years ago. There someone defined it as the divine in me honors the divine in you. However it is defined, religion, must adopt this word, this theology as its core message, or it will pass into the past as surely as any other extinct species. Division, separation, our way is right, all else are wrong, MUST end. We all come from the same place and to it we will return. The place I describe on my main site, that I have mentioned here as recently as yesterday, that I glimpsed in the presence of the white and golden globes. Maybe that is my only purpose here on earth. Or maybe that is my soul purpose – to put up a website people could find and read about the truth of us. Learn that we are more than we seem and that at least one of us here has seen that. Maybe now that I’ve done that, am doing that as the number of people who are finding that site continues to grow and astonish me, I’ve done my part. Maybe that is worth pondering too. So I think I’ll do that for a couple days. There are yet things I want to bring here from book 2, but I am thinking that being a “witness” is more what I came her for than to agree, mostly with Neale Donald Walsch and his wonderful conversation with our Creator. There are small parts above with which I do not agree, my Jenna points those out to me, but I’m not sure that matters much to anyone but me, and then even but a little. So maybe my time of “witness” is drawing down. Or at least the active part of it is. That’s the pondering. Anyway, I hope those who have gotten through these past two days see the truth in these words and make raising the collective consciousness an active part of your own lives, in whatever way you can. God is SO right. It is so easy not to see the suffering, not to see the homeless, not to see those without, to walk past them without even noticing they are they are. That is a crime against a humanity and an affront to our soul, I think. Thank God, there are people here now with eyes to see and voices to speak. May they triumph in the end. May our planet become a civilization. I’ve heard that described, civilization that is, as a place where no one will have something that comes at the expense of another. I’m pretty sure that is in one of Neale’s books. But wherever it comes from is unimportant, for to me, it is the truth. We are a good long way from that place. And there is much to do to come to that place. I am confident the souls on this planet now, the bringers of the light, will prevail. I feel the mass consciousness moving as if it were my own pulse. Love will prevail. And I’ll be its witness. Namaste and much love, :^) gene
