God wishes man to feel free in his belief

At the First Free State Assembly in 1572 in Dort the rulers of twelve free cities in the Netherlands decided to ordeal freedom of conscience for every citizen and therefore to believe what he likes. This meeting led later on to the Dutch Republic, but not without war before with the Catholic Spain, which was treating the Netherlands as a colony.
Would You like to comment on this decision?

The State Assembly in 1572 wasn’t  the first official meeting of rulers to decide something familiar. In the history of the earth it has happened before.

But through the Netherlands, through Europe, eventually through the United Nations this meeting, this decision has become  a living guideline to the whole world. And therefore the decision is unique. It is not forgotten like other such decisions in the young history of mankind.
From then on according to the rulers a citizen may believe what he likes.

It was a special State Assembly.

The spirit of freedom, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of tolerance and the spirit of independence, all four,  were present at this meeting and were witness of the result of their many years of labour on earth. For God it was already obvious this decision would influence the whole earth.
The meeting then was blessed by God, as the Synod of Dort in 1618.
46 Years later (the mills of mankind grind slowly) the Protestant churches started to implement that freedom among their churchgoers.

God wishes man to feel free in his belief

Any religion suppressing dissidents actually have had their day .

Any country suppressing dissidents have had their day.
Any religious leader suppressing dissidents has had his day.
Any believer despising dissidents has had his day.
Even if it seems not so in this time of escalating fanaticism.
This fanaticism has had its day.

The time will come every person on earth will believe what he likes and more and more countries will live this freedom, even if it seems not.

For the attention of the world nowadays  is inclining towards the excesses.
Each heinous act of oppression in Islamic caliphates, in Hinduistic and Buddhist and socialist and Russian Orthodox dictatorships have had their day.
Every murder, every rape, every destruction of historic tombs and statues will make mankind more determined to realize God's ideal on earth.
The fanatics have had their day, even if it seems not so.

The power of mankind, the power of the world consciousness, the power of reason, the power of freedom, the power of God on earth will only increase by the misdeeds from senseless or stupid people, from fanatics, from the children of the ape.

For the growth of the human world consciousness must not be underestimated

God wishes man to feel free in his belief

There are many houses in God's bosom, and all the houses are equally precious to God.

Even if one house is comprehending more truth than the other one.
God cherishes all loving houses, all loving trends, all loving people equally.
Thus in the spiritual world loving unbelievers, so-called heretics, loving atheists, all are welcomed with the utmost love.
And all unloving trends are just tolerated.
Let unloving fanatics and intolerants not meddle with this truth.

My blessings to you all

Tell first, start pruning afterwards

Our front and back gardens are a mixture of run wild and English landscaped. So we never weed and only prune plants when they severely overgrow other plants. So a lot of wild plants came naturally into our gardens like Pyramidal Orchid, Loosestrife, Campanula, Avens and many other species. Toads, frogs and bees overwinter in our gardens, and hatched young birds often arrive in spring, even if the nests are elsewhere. They have more shelter, more food, more chance to survive. It goes without saying that our gardens contain actually no tiles. Nature is in fact in control.
But sometimes I have to prune plants or cut the grass and I don’t enjoy this in a way. I am well aware that they are all living creatures. And I cut and fell and prune.

I always asked God:

"Do You want to bless the devas* of the plants and the plants themselves, which I am going to prune?"
They are blessed is always the answer.
But still, I continue to find pruning a disaster. Whole minicultures I am destroying  with my pruning.
I asked the Pachamama *, the spirit of the garden: "What must I do, to let this pruning become less horrible?" And do know that you and all plants are blessed by the good God. "
I heard:

Many thanks, my brother man. I am the spirit of the garden and tell all the devas of the plants that they are blessed. This is much appreciated. And when you tell me what your plans are 15 minutes before you start pruning, the following happens:

I communicate this and all the energy and life are withdrawn temporally out of the plants you are pruning. They then find themselves in a state where you people have no word for, it’s a mixture of coma and apparent dead. Exactly two hours later all forces, all devas of the plants, all the spirits of the individual plants and the plants themselves start again with the primal urge to live and grow. And because you have announced your pruning these forces are not offended, not mistreated, not violated, and 100% available to go on with life and to be available.

Indeed, because of the respect showed by you, and the early announcement of necessary pruning there are special results. The energy in your gardens, the wealth of growth and flourishing, the harmony and beauty and the diversity of wild species will be bigger than if you simply just at random starts, without announcement.

Your attitude, your asking for God's blessing for us and your early announcement is exceptionally valued by all spiritual beings in your gardens. You can feel the blessing of it.

I have experienced it now several times for myself. If I act in this way a subtle sense of warmth and love and respect come into my heart. As if I get back the joy and love, even though I'm pruning. It feels so good, as if everything is quite okay.

I ask the spirit of our backyard, "Did I experience this all well, or am I exaggerating and inventing it all?"

My brother man, you are invent nothing. Everything is truthful. We experience your love and respect and answer it with love and respect and all the joy  we are capable of. We are offering you all the more joy and harmony and feel very blessed in these gardens. Could it be like this everywhere is not what we are thinking, because we are not plaintive, but we would welcome it for all the other gardens.

And when you some time ago had to cut something, and almost started, and then remembered you wanted to announce the fifteen minutes, you stopped immediately, had to really make some effort to wait fifteen minutes before you could start.

And we, the living creatures in the garden, have noted it and seen it and appreciated it and we rejoiced us very much about so much love and respect. You must have felt this.

Yes, that's right, I suddenly felt so happy and tidy inside, for no reason.

Thank you for this conversation, pachamama of the garden.

Thank you, my brother man, on behalf of all creatures in this garden.

My God, I thank You for this all, for this insight, for this communication, I'm happy with it.

My son, everything is recorded truthfully. Bless you for your openness, your respect for the beings in nature, and especially on this small piece of land you may "manage" for a while.

All spirits and creatures in your gardens are blessed.

My blessings to you all

* A Deva is the spirit / soul of a particular plant species, which is guarding and nurturing and nourishing spiritually all its plants in the world as a kind of group soul. The concept comes from the Hindustan belief

* A Pachamama is the spirit/soul from a particular piece of land, earth. It is an earthbound spirit. The concept comes from the belief of the Quori in Peru.

The omnipotence of God (Robert H. Schuller)

Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed. ~Robert H. Schuller

Would You like to comment on this quote?

Man has no sense of the power and the glory and greatness of God.

God alone.
God alone is really creating.
And even though man is the crown of creation.
And even though man is creating better and more beautiful and more refined and more competently.

Still the most beautiful creation of man is in the proportion to the most beautiful creation of God as a grain of sand to a solar system.

And in fact this comparison is an affront to God, even though God can not be affronted.
But the creative power of God is even bigger than this comparison suggests.
Still Robert H. Schuller is illustrating the omnipotence of God with his concide quote.
He is blessed.
 
May you all be blessed

Title: Man always remains innocent

I have read a book in which the author* starts with youth of child abuse, begins a life as nun in a convent. Afterwards she indulges a life as whore and then steps out of this world. She continues to live in celibacy. And with therapy and new age gurus she ends up, as she says for herself, “as the innocent girl, she has always remained”. She comes to an unconditional loving acceptance of oneself and then of others, and experiences at the end an absolute inner peace and freedom, so it seems.

The book touched me very much.

I for myself have always felt that even taking a shower and washing my body are bringing me into an innocence and purity inside that has always been there. Just a shower, let alone a complete inner mindset as the writer tells.

Would you like to say something about it?

Man is innocent. And will remain this forever in the eyes of God, even when he appears to lose his innocence on earth by devilish behavior.

For the most inner self remains innocent.
The inner self gets snowed under by misdeeds and misunderstandings and harsh opinions, and the ego then takes over her negative selfimage with all his illusions.

But God always cherish, sees and beholds the whole person.

God knows that all these outrages,  that wallowing in the ego and the coverings will be dismantled or dissolved, sooner or later, in this life or the next spiritual life.
Ultimately, the innocent, pristine and pure man will remain, or rather stay in tact. And can return to the Father-Mother House without ballast.

God does not want ballast, only essence. How could it be otherwise?

Only authenticity, no illusion.
Only pureness, no rubbish.
Only the heart, not swollen livers.
Only man himself, no backpacks.
Only the personality, no ego.
Only the inner self, not the appearance. "
Only innocence, not guilt.

And until then, God dwells in the heart, and waits and encourages and calls softly and beckons and sees.

And accepts the state of man and his human will and his own path.
And God does so with the greatest unconditional love.
You are innocent, deeply. And God knows that.
You have forgotten it.
Carla van Raay is blessed for her honesty and openness.

My blessings to you all

The prison of the mind

 

 

"You must first realize the prison of your mind before you can escape it." – @machavelli7  

Would You like to comment on this quote?

How can you achieve something, if you do not look at the road?

How can you create something, if you have not organized your tools?
How can you change something, unless you know what?
How can you solve a problem if you do not first look at the problem and accept it and do want to change it?

So the human mind can only be freed from the confusion of the ego, if the person is willing to look at that confusion.

And thinking and feeling of man, the mind, the basis of the ego, is a big indescribable confusion.
A big indescribable variation of thoughts, feelings, associations, memories, opinions, judgments, knowledge, prejudices and desires.
And the ego is experiencing it as the whole truth.
But that is not the case, just a bit.

Only when man is seeing he is living in this confusion then there is a possibility of escaping.

Then he starts to see how oppressive it is, how limiting, how small.
Then he will experience how he is living in a prison.
How small and restrictive the world is in which he is dwelling.

And when he realizes this, the first step is made to letting go, to surrender.

The first step towards a broader perspective than the ego, to prayer if you like, to God.
Sighing "not my will be done, but Thy Will" is for sure one of the following steps.
And the ultimate goal is living in truth, living in the Spirit, living in God.
For God’s  knowledge is better than the ego’s knowledge.
The ego is thus a prison while God is actually Freedom.

My blessings to you all
