I feel like...

[nowhere]

Greeting and salutations!

A quick biography to let you know where I came from and then I will let you know where I am now...

I consider myself a "recovering Catholic" -- recovering from a childhood of guilt and unworthiness -- and have, over the past several years, been exploring a broader spiritual base. I now see "god" as the Source and Substance of All That Is -- an Infinite and All-Loving Presence that simply and complex-ly IS and there is no where it "is not".

That said, I feel like we are a wave and like a wave on the ocean is what the ocean is doing, we are what God is doing (in the beautiful words of Dr. Wayne Dyer).

Or, to use the imagery of some recent threads, God is The Sun and we are The Sunlight.

Consider, for a second, sun and sunlight... They are not quite two, yet they are not quite one. One does not make sense without the other.

Lately, I have been feeling a V E R Y odd feeling...

It is a combination of:

• tantalizing anticipation (as if something truly wonderful and awe-some is about to happen),
  
• satisfaction (as if something will FINALLY be proven) AND
  
• hopelessness (as if not a goddamn thing will change)
  

It is wierd... almost like if you drank 12 cups of coffee and then took a sleeping pill -- I am hyped up but feel like crawling into a hole.

I also feel like we are all in our own Truman Show/Matrix and everything is about to break.

Anyone...?

Hello...

It's nice to meet you.........

I enjoyed reading your biography


I think sometimes, when we feel something extraordinary is about to take place in our lives, we are caught up in dire anticipation...we feel we are on the brink......

and when that moment doesn't arrive according to our level of anticipation, that's when we become discouraged and disappointed......and that's when we fall into a state of hopelessnes........and we may lose our focus, and stop believing...........


That's happen to me so many times......I'm still learning how to balance my anticipations, my dreams, with current realities......


That's why patience is such a virture....It helps us to remain calm and steady to where our peace can be restored.......

recoverning here-

this is absolllllllutely true, and I must admit thaaaaaaaat in this I callaed on His name, and the blood of Christ, but is that to say that others cannot achieve this state w/o aaccepting Christt.

and grave said there is not religion, there is only God.
for me it is only God, but I am drippying in His blood as I come forth to greet Him. I AM dripping in my blood also.

I truly can not speak to any other religion any longer, and that is not to say they are wrong, and I am not the one to make that determination, God makes that determination.

But I love ALL Mankind any way and respect them and everyone's way, and I KNOW THE SOURCE, will take care of them as HE holds me in Him.

and I see His return and all peoples, All Religious Ones, wanting to no longer be separate from Him, standing, forth and allowing Him to make Himself Unmistakably Available for us to walk into, and become ONE with, and "marry our selves to Him" that we may return back to our days of life here, enjoy our daily activities, fo r the battle is done, for it is over, and He is come in me, and in you, and the great tribulation of this soul that I am is done, and ther is only ONE and He is in ME, and in You, and In everything and everything is singing this truth, and it is so true, and again we shall wait upon the Lord and be the peace Restored, for this is His Gift for us now, no matter what, we see the birds sing and play, we see the children laugh, I see the treees offering the shelter of their arms as comfort, but just what happened to man that he should not have the peace of even an ant has been so perplexing, and now I have as the Wolf warned, touched just a bit of it, just enough to know, and see, and now I turn away to you and me, and we shall be fine, just you wait and see.

And I love you
And I will alwaays love you
And it seems I have always loved you
forever, if you will but become one with my love
throughout all eternity.

Amen= (hidden) hidden for a very good reason.

And peace is once restored in the Land of Milk and Honey

Nice thought! I am not sure whether I agree, personally, but I think it's a beautiful way to put it and show the connection between us and Is.

I also feel like we are all in our own Truman Show/Matrix and everything is about to break.

I have the same feeling. With the difference that everything will break in a positive way, just like that, in front of my eyes.

Maybe the feeling of hyperactivity - hyper-tiredness you feel is because our human bodies are set with certain limitations when it comes to perceiving the absolute (relative) truth? Like feeding an old computer a brand new version of software?

Thank you for your replies!

A bit more to add -- and excuse me if I ramble as this may come out in a stream of consciousness...

I believe that any path to God is a vaild path -- until that path invalidates any other.

I do not believe that belief in Jesus (or Mohammed or Buddah for that matter) is required to "get to God." First of all, I believe that we cannot "get to God" because we are already there.

God is infinite. "Infinity plus one" is meaningless. There is nothing else outside of God. God is All There Is.

A very simplified definition of Heaven is "where God is" while Hell is simply defined as "where God is not". Seeing God as truly infinite means that there is no place we can (or need to) go to "get to God" -- we are there NOW. Wait... we are already in HEAVEN!! ;D and -- by extension -- Hell does not exist!

But, what of "sin"?? What about people like Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmer and Stalin and Saddam Hussein and "evil" people??

Sin does not exist. Ignorance, perhaps. But not "sin".

Because for sin to exist and for the possibility that "X amount of sins" or "Y degree of heinous sins" will mean that we are punished for eternity in Hell would have to mean that:

• God is not infinite (we would have to go somewhere that God is not and this cannot happen),
  
• God could not get what God wants (which is for us to be with Him/Her/It) which, in turn, means that
  
• We are, in the case of sin, more powerful than God so that
  
• God is not All-Powerful
  

But, then, what about free will? Can't we freely choose to disobey God? And, if we heinously disobey God, isn't it "just" that we go to Hell??

This is the argument that I grew up with.

But, for God to be Infinite and All-Loving (to Love us PERFECTLY and WITHOUT CONDITIONS AND WITHOUT JUDGEMENTS OR REQUIREMENTS OR STRINGS) then for free will to exist, it must exist while not canceling out the fact that God is Infinite and we are already "in Heaven".

What if we could freely act and think and speak WHILE AT THE SAME TIME God gets what God wants (namely, for us to be with Him/Her/It)?

Think of Heaven as a fantastic, way out, the best-of-the-best party, hosted by God. This party is better than you have ever seen or can even imagine -- grills with the best foods, all the best drinks, all your friends, pools to swim in (and which make you look GOOD in a bathing suit!), all the best games, all the best music, dancing, free money is given out (!!!), etc., etc., etc. This is the party you do NOT want to miss! And, it doesn't end!

But, there is a group of people (S. Inner and his posse) who, for whatever reason, don't want to go...

But, God WANTS to have them there. And God ALWAYS gets what God wants.

So, God sends them a letter. They return it unopened.

God calls them. They screen the call and never pick up.

God sends someone to talk to them and tell them everything that will be there. They hide in their house with the lights off until this person leaves.

God puts ads on the radio, tv, magazines, newspapers, billboards. They put cotton in their ears and blindfolds on.

Are they out of luck?

No!

God will find SOME way to get them there because the party just won't be the same without them. S. Inners and his group may THINK they are going to the diner on Friday night but JoAnn's Eats is REALLY the side door to Heaven's Party.

I see free will as the choice to NOT see that we are all One and already in Heaven. When we choose not to see that Heaven in inside us and outside us and all around us and in our very cells, we will act in ways that demonstrate this.

We act ignorantly. If we KNEW better, we would ACT better. As soon as we truly KNOW, we will act accordingly.

Therefore, I forgive the Hitlers of the world, the Jeffrey Dahmers, the Stalins, the Husseins, etc. of the world because I know they were acting the best way they knew how.

If you dig deep enough into the background of ANY "evil" person, you will find reasons for their behavior. We will always do the best we can based upon our knowledge and life experiences up to that point.

This is not justifying or rationalizing the child molester. This is seeking to understand and forgive.

I refuse to throw the first stone at A N Y O N E.

I believe that this knowledge of God within me is the Christ that we are all striving for. Jesus knew this. Mohammed knew this. Buddah knew this. Mother Theresa and Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr. all knew this to varying degrees.

The. Kingdom. Of. God. Is. WITHIN. Y O U.

Oh, and I think that all this is getting to break in a very beautiful and awesome way for everyone as more and more people are discovering their Christ Consciousnesses. We are reaching a critical mass....

Namasté!

A channeled message I received (I was not the one being channeled):

MESSAGE:
There are many lands and many peoples who have come before us. The big
US, together as one, is getting ready to shift in consciousness in a
way that we can only imagine.

The Guides who speak to me, just outside my normal hearing range, are
always wanting to help "the others" to understand that they, too, can
hear them, see them, intuit them in a way that will open their
innermost heart and mind to receive the Grace of God.

This all sounds quite mysterious to some, a bit weird to others, and oh
so true for yet another who has already shifted.

The Guides have asked me to explain the very nature of what it means to
be a channel for God's love and Grace.

First, we are all channels. If we are alive and breathing, we are
channeling the very life force through us. If we are thinking,
analyzing, feeling, sensing, emoting, sleeping, et al, then we are
channeling consciousness, our own consciousness, into our awareness and
back out into our world in some fashion.

We are nonphysical beings of light living in a physical world that we
have created for our individual and collective learning. Some of us
have come here to learn, some to help the others to awaken to their own
inner light.

I am often asked the question, "Who are my guides and what are their
names?" The question predisposes that one's guides are of the same
outer reflection as the individual who is asking the question. The
answer is always given in such a way that is understandable but is
never fully mentally satisfying—the answer never fits the intended
outcome.

We are nonphysical beings of light inhabiting a physical vessel, living
in a physical world.

Therefore, your guides are your brethren, those who have come before
you, and those who have already graduated from this earthly realm of
learning. They are your brethren. They are the divine masters. Some
will say ascended, but the Guides say that they have not gone anywhere.
They are here. They are you and you are they. They are here, right here
within your innermost beingness.

Think about this for a moment.

Right here. Right here within our innermost beingness. Our Beingness.
Our being. In other words, we are nonphysical Beings. We are that very
feeling within our innermost self.

Another concept that is brought through the teachings is that we can
shift our perspective through our feelings. This shifting can happen
within an instant. When I am speaking with someone, I usually feel it
as a physical shifting or shaking within my own body, which has been
energetically merged with the other during our time together. Then, I
will hear the Guides say, "and there you go!"

Our minds are always wanting to understand what the heart already
knows. The heart knows that we are loved beyond our humanly
comprehension yet the mind will insist on searching back through the
never ending stories of hurts, slights, and discontents. Our hearts
instinctually know that we are the creator Gods who have been sent here
to shift all of humanity, but our minds will try to tell us that we are
a "nobody, just a tiny pebble on a grand beach."

We are in a very critical time of our awakening process. We are beginning to awaken to our true nature. We are excited about the endless possibilities of what we wish to create but we are afraid. We are afraid of our very own power. Can you imagine that?

We, as Light Beings, have worked so hard to reconnnect to our very own hearts. We have begun, now, to coallesce, to find our brethren of the Light, and we are afraid to create the world around us.

It is now time. We have entered into a time of self-mastery. The Guides say that the first wave of ascension is culminating in August of 2005. Many of us have already awakened and are getting our sea legs, so to speak. We are now being called into action.

If you are reading these words and understand, within your inner heart, these words to be true, then it is time to drop the last vestiges of your fears. They are only that. They are the illusions of the mind to keep you in a state of readiness until it was time to most fully and completely awaken.

It is now time. It is now time to awaken to your fullest potential. It is now time to create "out there" in your world the love, and joy and peace that you feel deep within you.

The Guides say, "We are here within you, and you shall not fail. You shall not fail to create the world which shall begin to shift all of humanity. We are here, my dear ones. We are here within you."

"Will you listen?"
