No Steve today.
February 18th, 2008 | by gene |Just me. :^). This will be brief, by my standards, lol. I wanted to say that we are going back to my roots. Something tremendous has happened within me over the last few weeks. I am not sure entirely what it is. Or what it will be. But different, that much I do know. So, when I say back to my roots, I mean, of course, the books, CWG 1 and 2. There are SO many ideas of incredible import in them and I have been away from them since my own dark night came on me again, as it has with regularity these past 11 years, but I’ve moved through it once again and it is different this time, the emerging, I mean, it feels more as if I have shed a chrysalis than survived the passing of time. So, I’m going to have some things to say about that. We’ll begin with the books, I intend to work through them, more or less, as they are written. But I have some things to say about them, the ideas there, to bring them into contemporary focus, and I am, have been, digging through old writings of my own, and others, to bring back into focus, precisely why I began this blog and this site. I’ve updated a couple pages on the site itself – nothing major, and will the others over the next few weeks.
One of the reasons I want to bring things into sharper focus is that we are, after all, here in the United States, engaged in an election campaign. That cannot be ignored, for it is in me that it is going to change the face of our political realm significantly and for quite a long time. We, too, are going back to our roots. And that isn’t so very different either, because when my roots are anchored in love and so too, I believe, are the vast majority of, not only the American public, but the world’s citizenry at large. I think in the end, we will find we have much more in common than we have perhaps thought.
The ideas I am going to talk about are not new, though some of what I am going to say about them IS new, for me, perhaps for you. I’ll leave to you that discernment. What is sure is that this is going to be a more regular practice than it has been of late. I will still bring in Steve, lol, and others, from time to time, for what they say that supports an idea I wish to bring into the light. I hope to write several times a week, perhaps oftener, if time allows. I have a lot to say and it matters not if some of it has been said before, what matters now is that I say it here, clearly and consistently. This I intend. As always dissenting opinions will be welcome – should I approve them, that is. And I will for the most part do so.
I know exactly where I want to go with this, giggle, but as is often the case, the how can be elusive. So I am going to begin with a bit of wisdom from Book 1, early on, page 21, where God explains to Neale what it is that we are doing here. This is a question I have myself asked, many times, as I am sure have many, perhaps most, of you as well. It can be best answered the way God does it, by explaining what we are NOT here for. I’m also going to change up the way I present this material, it “feels” better to me is the only reason. :^)
Neale: There are those who say that life is a school, that we are here to learn specific lessons, that once we “graduate” we can go on to larger pursuits, no long shackled by the body. Is this correct?
God: It is another part of your mythology, based on human experience.
Neale: Life is not a school?
God: No.
Neale: We are not here to learn lessons?
God: No.
Neale: Then why ARE we here?
God: To remember, and re-create, Who You Are.
I have told you, over and over again. You do not believe Me. Yet that is well as it should be. For truly, if you do not create yourself as Who You Are, that you cannot be.
Neale: Okay, You’ve lost me. Let’s go back to this school bit. I’ve heard teacher after teacher tell us that life is a school. I’m frankly shocked to hear You deny that.
God: School is a place you go if there is something you do not know that you want to know. It is not a place you go if you already know a thing and simply want to experience your knowingness.
Life (as you call it) is an opportunity for you to know experientially what you already know conceptually. You need learn nothing to do this. You need merely remember what you already know, and act on it.
Now this I understand, even though Neale does not and the discussion continues. We’ll come back to that discussion in another post. What I KNOW, from MY perspective, is that what I SEE around me is NOT all there is. What THAT means, is what I have yet to completely come to terms with. Jenna helps. I mean, she TELLS me, but I have yet to know experientially what she tells me from within. This is what I am came here to do, experience what I have, will. What, in all truth, we have ALL come here for. Though so many thirsty souls have forgotten how to drink. Had they, the carnage going around the world now in the name of God, and there can be no greater blasphemy than to do what is being done and to blame God for it, let me be clear about that, would cease immediately. I do not mean to imply this is a game with consequences for there are none. There is no hell, no purgatory, no place but home. I KNOW this. I have seen it, been shown it, three times, twice at an age old enough to understand I was looking into the light we all came from and will return to. The experience needed now is exactly what God just said. We are not here to LEARN anything, but to remember, to re-member, that we are all one with God, all the time. When we can all agree on this, the separation we feel here now, the isolation, the fear, will be gone.
It is in the WAY that we experience this life that our sense of isolation is fed. We see out from behind one pair of eyes, we have but one mind we imagine is connected to nothing else. We think, we talk, we act as if we were alone in our person. What the lights helped me remember and the remembrance I am going to bring to bear on the words Neale and God have exchanged in these two books, is that simple truth. We are not alone, we are all one. Jesus said what ye do unto these the least of my brethren, you have also done unto me. Truer words were never spoken. What we do to another, we do in every ultimate sense, to ourselves and all others. When we realize this, if we realize this, our days of separation will be over and we will begin to share this oasis in the universe as it was intended to be shared, one with another, each with the other. What we could now call vices, or even sins in church terminology, will cease to exist once we learn that to have a thing to ourselves is to take it from another. When one lives with love as ones basis, such an act would be unthinkable, as would harming another in thought, word or deed. We have much to remember, giggle. We need learn nothing, we already know how to do this, we simply need expand our definition of family to include all of us. When we do that, we will have remembered the truth of Who We Really Are. I have every confidence that we shall do so. And THAT, my loves, is what we will be talking about over the next few months. The practical application of love, giggle. On that note, much love to you all, :^) gene
