God blesses soldiers of Ukraine ànd Russia

My God, I must ask You, even though the story is too absurd for words. I saw pictures in the newspaper of a Russian priest blessing soldiers going to war and the same week pictures of a Ukrainian priest blessing soldiers.  I know something is not right then, but You must help me understand all this.

My son, the whole story is true and both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers can be blessed, but the interpretation by man, who sees this and cannot rhyme, is not correct. How can Russian soldiers, blessed by God, fight with Ukrainian soldiers, blessed by God? And who then has God behind him? Let Me explain it to you. And by the blessing we mean both someone who asks for God's help and Its blessing on soldiers in a war as well as soldiers who pray for themselves. We summarize that briefly under God's blessing.

To get straight to the point. God's blessing is for everyone who asks for it, just as the sun shines on all soldiers and the rain moistens all soldiers. God's righteousness is for both sides, without distinction of person.  

Yet of course there is more to say about it, because God's blessing is worth a bit more than the sun or the rain. Let that be said. 

God stands behind every human being, and in another blog it has been described that the greatest criminals have the best guardian angels check .... https://watchthegod-english.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-guardian-angel-of-very-bad-person.html

This is why everyone gets God's blessing. But beware of the dog. Watch the God. God's blessing works out differently for everyone. We start from three hypothetical situations, where everything is very clear.

The soldier who fought the German army in World War II, the Vietnamese soldier who fought the poison bombing of the Americans in Vietnam, the soldier who fights against the Russians now in Ukraine gets the blessing. 

And this blessing strengthens him in battle, gives him courage when he needs it, protects him from fear and despondency, and contributes to his ultimate victory for the good cause regardless of whether he himself dies or is wounded or not.

"So far so good".

The soldier who causes a war in another country, like the Germans in World War II, the Americans who poisoned for many years with "Agent Orange" the poor defenceless people and nature in Vietnam and now the Russians in Ukraine, who bomb residential apartments and chase old people out of their houses, they also get the blessing. But that blessing works out differently. They too gain strength in despondency, energy to endure suffering and peace in their inner selves when they are desperate. Like rain cools everyone in drought and heat. But that's the personal, direct impact on them inside. And maybe they also seem just more powerful and successful than the other party.

But looks are deceiving. For the blessing of God works directly in increasing the failure in the end, in the failure of the evil pursuit, in destroying the evil causes of this war, in the demoralization of the whole people, the government, the turning of an apparently successful war into total destruction of the evildoers.  

Hitler committed suicide, his country was bombed, the women of Germany were raped en masse.

The Americans were forced on their knees, the politicians had to resign, the hawks in the country were humiliated, the war was lost, the reputation of the Americans was damaged forever and their image tarnished. 

And so it will be with the Russian people, their leader Putin and the unjust useless war they have started. Already the Russian people are suffering from the war, the young Russian soldiers are dying in droves and Putin can no longer show himself in the civilized world.

And what about soldiers who are in a war where both countries are guilty?

So where the distinction between good and evil is not that simple? Oh well, do I need to say more about it? If two peoples are at war, and they both stand for a just cause, is it not very quickly clear to the whole world that there are only losers and that this war is not going to lead to anything? Haven't there been other ways developed by mankind to fight a dispute? Mediators, consultative bodies, United Nations commissions, regional networks, mediating befriended countries. This should have been the case in Ukraine and Russia.

In countries that are at war, there are only losers.

Nevertheless, both countries are blessed. 

My blessings to you all

The larger the consciousness, the larger the suffering

My God, may I ask you something?
I checked somewhere intriguing words on this subject. Would You like to comment on it?

It's truthfully.

But I do want you to comment on these words firstly.

I'd rather not, actually.

It seems to be rather presuming, what I do. Hearing a voice. Talking to God, even though I just call You "my Spark of God", smile,  sorry, but I just do not know how to say it more clearly. And putting this all on the Internet, as if this is my wish, that’s how it is.
And I'd rather not concern myself about my suffering, certainly not now with Easter, this seems to be rather pretentious.

Do it anyway, I have My reasons for it.

                       
As Thou wishes.
It's actually quite simple.
As I get older, I suffer more.
I have more problems with the suffering around me.

And by my contact with You I suffer more.

Not because people around me think that I'm crazy. I've let this go.
Not because I am still troubled by doubt and confusion about how well I am listening to you, and how much I am interpreting everything with my ego.
Not because I think it's a lonely process, this blog work.
Not because I think it‘s painful to hear things about life that I'd rather not hear.
As for the future disasters that I definitely prefer not to know.
So now people know, I thank God You do not want me to put everything on the internet.

I suffer more, because I have become more sensitive.

Because I can see more behind the scenes of life.
Because I feel more pain from other people.
Because I feel more pity for criminals and because I really sigh after their crimes, "My God, they do not know what they are creating as results for themselves in the future!"
Because I'm more troubled by the difficulties on earth, because I am more affected by the disasters, the attacks, the refugee problem. Because I am more affected by the sufferings of mankind, of the animal world, of the vegetable world.
Something like this?

That's all right, My son.
And you are no exception.
All people will suffer more, as their awareness increases.
All people.
That is a law of God.
How could it be otherwise?
Can you imagine a great spirit who is selfish?
Can you imagine a holy prophet who is petty and childish and self-indulgent?
In short, welcome to the world of God, Allah, Brahman, Yahweh, the Unnameable.

The larger the consciousness, the larger the suffering.

Only in this way you all will become a partaker of the responsibilities of God, of the love of God, of the oneness with God.
The great man Jesus has been a good example for you all.
How large was his consciousness, how large his suffering?
Has there been ever a larger suffering on earth, a bigger sorrow?
Surely he was thus on earth, the Son of God!
Surely there wasn’t on earth a larger consciousness?

And the Easter message for you is:

The larger the consciousness, the larger the suffering.
The larger the suffering, the larger the reward.
And the reward is:
The love of God felt in your heart.
The blessing of God experienced in your consciousness.
The presence of God visible in your life.
The promise of the spiritual world active in your life.
The Kingdom of God, incarnated in your daily life.

My blessings to you all

Not all revelations are leading to a religion

I was musing once on the following questions: why are some religions becoming very big and other religions not at all? Why are sometimes very pure and beautiful revelations of one person not very familiar at all to a large audience?
I asked You and You said:

Not all revelations necessarily lead to religions and tendencies.

But all revelations are always seeds for the growing consciousness of mankind.

Would You like to comment on this?

None of you knows how many small and great revelations, there have been on earth over time.
Only God.

And with small revelations I do not have in view unimportant revelations, but how familiar they become. Among these revelations are wonderful, very valuable and important revelations and they are sometimes only known to one person. But they are seeds for the growing consciousness of mankind. They are pearls hidden in an oyster and in due time such a revelation will be discovered , or rediscovered, and in the end it will seep into the consciousness of mankind.

Visionaries will be around all the time, crying in the wilderness, being far ahead in their days.

But God has the overview and sees through the ages where this little hidden revelation once in the same form or another form will spill over mankind.

On the other hand there are very impure revelations becoming a religion and reaching millions of people. Because it has only mass, such a revelation, when a large number of people on earth are inspired by it. And so be it, although the revelation is impure. But that is only  possible because these millions of people are impure, and therefore cann’t comprehend more. And that's good. Then it is as it is. This is then the maximum achievable, a massive impure revelation.

God knows all revelations.

God knows the purity of all revelations.
God knows the consequences and scope of all revelations.

And man!

How soon does a group of people think "their" revelation is the only correct revelation?
How soon does a group of people think their fellowmen should follow this revelation?
And how quickly this is leading to religious wars? But that's actually another story, the story of races and powers and the rich and oppressors and refugees and wars.

 This story is about revelations, hidden revelations not leading to religions. But all these revelations are and remain and become seeds for the growing consciousness of mankind.

 And that increasing awareness is just tending into one direction, in fluctuations and through trial and error, but still into one direction.

From beast to spirit.

From ape to God.
From small to big.
From restricted matter to unlimited spirit.
From the earthly womb for an evolutionary ape to the eternal bosom of God.

My blessings to you all

Awakening as a consistent choice

Would You like to comment on awakening of man?
I am noticing I actually have to pay attention the whole day on. My ego with his feelings and thoughts and desires and physical experiences is constantly entangling my consciousness. I had the idea  liberation was a state , but it seems to be a kind of alert attention . It is an again and again choosing for observing instead of getting sucked into all the fussy stuff of life . As if I am relaxed moving in the traffic but at the same time always paying attention. Anything like?

You are hitting the mark excellently. Being in the traffic relaxedly but always paying attention.
This is the state of a liberated consciousness. Simultaneously observing how the ego, the world, the ape of God are always trying to keelhaul you. Always challenging. Man may fall. Man may step out of his awakened state. Especially on earth .

It is a better perspective just considering the ego as if you are observing the weather in the Netherlands. Weather affects you much less than actions of the ego . These actions are continuing influencing you day and night. Always constant vigilance, as in traffic.

The gurus and religious ministers who derailed always have underestimated the actions and the presence of the ego . And they have overestimated their liberation. Too bad they did not seek in this process the help from God, or life, or both. Or from their fellow man. Because without criticism nobody is doing well. One needs the environment and the other, especially to check whether one is still having a keen perspective, if one still is living properly, if one is still acting properly.

Does this seem contradictory? Needing the environment and simultaneously not being seduced by the environment?
No, not at all. Actively participating in traffic, mingling into traffic without fear , behaving properly in traffic with respect and love, and having an eye for all life . And at the same time considering traffic just as a means, not an end .
And this is what the ego and the ape of God are doing: making means into the goal. This is all. But it is not correct.

Keeping an eye on the ego as you keep an eye in the traffic. That’s all.
Always paying attention, an attentive vigilance , keeping up the perspective of eternity, cherishing life from the perspective of God, not from the perspective of the ego .
Then you will stay awakened. Then you are free. Then everything will stay well. Then all is well.

My blessings to you all
