In this morning's personal Godwriting
In regard to the topic of yesterday's blog entry, there still seems to be something unresolved for me. I received the following in this morning's personal Godwriting™.
God said:
"No man, no woman, can be everything to you. It is that simple. I can. I am. I am everything to you. Your whole world revolves around Me. What more is there to say?"
I wonder what is it in us that craves a real-live human being to look up to in preference to looking across at? Do we all have that? Certainly some of us more than others. Is it a craving to have a God who walks on Earth? Is it that we want to see in someone else what God says is within each of us? Is it that we crave a higher consciousness, and we want someone right here on Earth to give it to us?
What I am beginning to understand now is that we put a burden on a person we look up to instead of across at.
Even the finest most wonderful human being cannot carry us all the way across the river. Even those who would wish to carry us across and those who sincerely say they can -- can they? Or how can they? And why do we think they can more quickly than God can?
On the other hand, a few true Great Ones have lived on Earth. How we would love to meet them as living human beings in the world today. The thought gives great comfort. But would we want too much from them? Would we be clingy?
I also understand that there are some people in the world now who may have great powers, and yet their having great powers doesn't necessarily mean that they themselves are great. I believe God has said some who have powers may deeply be sincere but have innocently mixed up their desires and their powers with greatness, and a few may knowingly be charlatans.
So, hmm, there does seem to be a tendency in us to want to give our own power over to someone else. Probably no one has been more prone to do this as I have been. For about a year, I once gave my heart and brain entirely over to a money guru. He had hundreds, perhaps thousands, who believed in him. At the time, I thought that whatever the man said had to be right simply because he said it. Of course, the illusion ended in disillusion.
When I sat down to write a blog this morning, I had no idea this was going to be it. Certainly, one of the good things about writing is discovering what you are thinking and feeling. I may be my best reader!

I'm really interested in trying this writing thing out. Writing is like unfolding a tapestry or putting together a huge puzzle of an ancient world map or putting together a quilt.
When we look into the eyes of one who sees, they swallow up the ego. That is all that happens. I'm pretty sure it happens naturally and without intent. The one who sees, waits patiently for recognition.
You bring up such interesting points.
Do you mean trying out this writing by just sitting down and writing and seeing what comes without the intention of Godwriting?
Will you explain more of what you mean by your second paragraph, por favor? I can guess what you mean but am not quite sure.
"What I am beginning to understand now is that we put a burden on a person we look up to instead of across at."
This sum up God's message to you this morning and your response to His message. God does not expect us to answer directly to Him when He talks to us. He rather prefers that we respond to ourself by gradual shifts and adjustments in our perceptions.
I would add to your post that we also put a burden on ourself as well as on person we look up instead of across at.
What are we looking for in an incarnate person that can possibly represent God on Earth? Is it to possess it? Do we want to establish a private relationship with what is the physical embodiement of an Idea?
I think there is always a part of fear in creating a human relationship, no matter what this relationship is. We build relationship basically from a sense of lack. What God is telling us/you in your personal Godwriting is that the only relationship is with One. The only true relationship that ever existed is COMPLETION. Our completion lies in Truth and nowhere else.
God is at the center of the only true relationship that exists and He is only there. That is were we are SAFE forever, because we are complete forever.
Thanks Gloria for sharing your personal Godwritings. They are as inspiring as the Heavenletters. In fact there is no real difference between them.
Since I don't know how to "edit" a comment in the Blog section, I would like to add this to my post.But even Christ was not r
We all would like to have a "live" example of what is an illuminated Being in a Human Body like one of the Great Ones.
The trap is that we still want to see before believing rather than believe in order to see. Faith does not see with the body's eyes.
Si Senora, like blog writing.
God is our first love, and then everyone and everything else. The love for God eventually expands and intensifies. We see God in everything and everyone. There is no more conflict. When one who is in this state, looks into the eyes of another who surrenders, a layer of ignorance is peeled off and absorbed.
Senor wrote: "God is our first love, and then everyone and everything else." It can happen in reverse order. One can love another, and later come to see God in that one. Or one can love growing plants, and come to see God in the plants. One can see a dead bird, and come to see that God lived in that bird. The world is "up close and personal" that mirrors God to us.
I don't think I started out as a child loving God before I loved what God's light and love had made. These are just idle thoughts with morning coffee. Forgive me for rambling.
"I wonder what is it in us that craves a real-live human being to look up to in preference to looking across at?"
It's just a stage that is ending. I think it is because we don't even dare to look across at ourselves. Seeing our little self as somehow "low", we want to have something/someone "high" to look up to (and be pulled up by). We say "higher self" instead of "greater self" or "total self." That's the whole problem.
I don't know what is so frightening about our whole self, but I'm sure our courage is building, the courage to simply and immediately be all we are.
Thanks for that Margaret. I find myself right in the middle of both. In love with the world and at the same time yearning for the One beyond.
From the perspective I come from: Only through Mother's Love, Father's Grace. All of creation, including the mind is the womb or Mother. It is the world that raises awareness to the highest high.
I do not mean to contradict anything anyone is saying here. I feel truth in all that is being expressed. I think, though, that it all is a matter of the perspective of anyone’s individual consciousness at any given point. I certainly would love to have even a brief conversation with any of the “great ones.” Just being near them would likely be a wonderful experience. This speaks of where I am at. I think every teacher who is revered in the world is revered because he or she speaks to someone’s heart. Because they resonate in this way, there is some truth there, and I feel this means that that teacher is needed and useful. It may be that that teacher has developed a degree of adoration from his pupils that leads to a profound disillusionment and this is his role in his follower’s lives. I believe eventually we are all to learn to receive our most important instruction from a Teacher who is directly heard only within.
Right now, I think all our religions play an essential role. I think all books and videos other communications play an essential role. I think that at some point in the future none of these will be needed. They are not really “needed” right now, but they can be very useful. Eventually, we will all know that everything and everyone are embodiments of the One. For now, I need my books and videos and I listen out for helpful teachers.
I agree with you Chuck in that right now we still need some sort of teaching aids through books, channellings, even live teachers. But in spiritual matter it is much easier to rely and become dependant on the outside sources because we cannot have "objective" and measurable results to verify our apprenticeship. And in the end, through the illusive passage of death, no books, no Heavenletters will accompany us to face Reality. The mean is not the end. But as human, we have the tendency to postpone the moment we'll have to release our crutches. The passage through death remains the ultimate test.
To add to Margaret's comment, we can see God in everything.
I am an animal lover.
I grew up with Boxer dogs.
Yesterday I was in the local hardware store, (in the small town where I will be moving to in less than a month). I feel something brush my leg, and hear this very gentle Dutch woman's voice say "Snukums don't bother the lady." Without looking I think this must be her grandchild she is speaking with, not imagining it could be an animal. Stores here generally don't "allow" animals inside (unless it is a pet store where they can shop).
Well, I look down and here is the most beautiful brindle boxer I have ever seen. He is huge, over 100 pounds, and a massive chest. He looks at me and sits down. He knows I cannot resist to pet him.
I see God in his eyes. His gentleness is God. His entire purpose is to give and receive love. And as I pet him and talk to him we both feel love.
I ask this woman if the store minds that she brings him here. She says no, they took one look at him and said they didn't mind if he behaved.
Can you imagine how many people feel God when they see and pet this angel with fur?
I left this store being grateful that I am moving to town where I can experience happenings such as this.
Sometimes we just need to feel the presence of God at work.
I love to write One. In fact I find it difficult to be brief when responding to others' blogs. I have "found" myself in my writing. I am expressing myself in a deeper way than just by talking and I have come to feel that I am writing from my soul's perspective when I write. I feel as though I am walking along the path to God, with God. Because of you, Gloria, and several other bloggers I read regularly, I started my own so I could write and share my experiences as well. I have allowed myself to have a voice that I suppressed for a long time. In fact, you have sparked a discussion here that I need to write about there! I encourage anyone who feels the pull to write, do it!
As far as looking across and not up, I have been there, too. I used to be in awe of my spiritual mentors. The more I learned, the more wisdom I gained, and I have come to realise how alike we all are and that no one should ever look "up" to anyone. It's not good for either party. We are all the same, just walking different paths and some have learned things before others did. We all have acquired wisdom that we can teach others, it doesn't make us better or more than anyone else! We are all part of the whole, seemingly separate yet each an important piece in the puzzle of life. Everyone contributes something to the mix in the manner best suited to them. As long as we don't give anyone power over us, be discerning about what we take in, and don't fall into fear, we have something to learn from everyone and everything.
There I should stop now. Told ya! LOL
