God will be there

Despise people and love them. They're devils. But in them you can also meet God (Dag Hammarskjöld)

I came across this fascinating quote in a newspaper article. Would You like to comment on it?

 I must want that, My son, because it's fascinating, for sure, this quote. All you have to do is see around you and in your inner self to see and experience that man has devilish qualities and also can behave regularly devilishly. Let's definitely not talk about the devil in this blog. But in this word devil and devilish behaviour is closed all the ignorant, thoughtless, self-centered and nonchalant behaviour of man.

However, let's meet God in the other, isn't that a wonderful topic for this blog?

"In them you can also meet God."

And this is always possible with everyone. Meeting God in the other. A nice look, a friendly nod, a human greeting, a listening ear, a nice gesture, a helping hand. And I'm positing one of the greatest truths on earth here: 

Every time you do this, with the other, God comes into your midst. What a promise, what a joy, what a hope, what a blessing, what a realization, what an experience. Every time, in a split second, God arrives in your midst.

There is no faith, no religion, no pastor, no prayer, no thought of God obliged. And this also applies to unbelievers, to notorious atheists, to all people on earth, from the least developed primal man to the most thoughtful president of a civilized country. If you do this, God will come into your midst. How easy can it be?  

Bye Hammarskjöld is blessed.

10 years of hearing the voice of God, a wonderful anniversary

My God, 10 years ago I first heard Your voice in a small chapel in Leiden. I experienced it was You, I knew it was special, and I didn't understand why I was allowed to go through this. By now I know that everyone can experience this, that it is possible. By now I understand that it will actually be the natural religion of the future, without the intervention of church rituals and pastors, just to be and communicate with the indwelling God.

What joy, what a promise, what a grace. I thank You for Your blessings, Your graces, Your corrections, but above all Your endless patience and love. For this I can say to the rest of the world, You should have chosen someone else, with more talents, more simplicity, more maturity. Anyway, obviously You choose to show your power and splendour especially with people who are nothing. You're great.

So many texts, so many visits from so many countries, I still find it special if thanks to the internet free and for nothing someone can read your words and indulge in them out there on a flat three high in the back in some suburb anywhere in the world. And, even if it's three visitors a day. That's nice. But sometimes there are 100 a day.

I thank You, I thank You, I thank You. That’s all there to say. And now You please?

My good son, I love silence more, as you know, so let's take this opportunity to entice fellow man to silence. For in silence God is found. Only when the noise and superficiality and the hassle of the world are put aside one can hear His God. How else could it be?

I thank you for your openness, your willingness, your vulnerability.

I thank you for your willingness to be quiet and really listen.

I did the rest. Keep it up, My son. 

Behold your servant, My God. 

 

Be blessed, good son. 

 

My blessings to you all

Thoughtlessness, a root of evil

My God, I read the following in a column by Welmoed Vlieger*. She draws Arendt's vision from the last book by Hannah Arendt "The Life of the Mind". "The roots of evil are not a bad will or a moral depravity but thoughtlessness." She saw this not only in totalitarian regimes but also in Western culture where individualism ignores the other. 

Would You like to comment on this?

My son, there is much to be said about the causes of evil, and certainly that there is not one cause or right of evil to exist but there are many. Still, Hannah Arendt has a point. For bad will or moral depravity are clear and understandable causes of evil. But thoughtlessness is a hidden and veiled cause for a lot of unconscious and malicious behaviour and therefore for a lot of evil and a lot of suffering.

What is thoughtlessness else than that a person does not think about something or does something casual or without paying attention. And certainly then man does not pay attention to the consequences of his actions, for himself and for others. And isn't indifference a twin brother of thoughtlessness?

Thoughtlessness means that a man is without thoughts, is not reasonable, does not listen to his conscience, does not look after his fellow man, does not listen to his inner voice, is not interested in the suffering that results from this. 

But above all, thoughtlessness is a root of evil because God is excluded and the devil can go about his business. For your thinking thank you to God, your suffering to the exclusion of God.

So beware of thoughtlessness.

Hannah Arendt and Welmoed Vlieger are blessed.

We have a great need for mildness

In the newspaper there was an interview with the theologian and professor Peter Nissen. He said more or less: "During the lockdown and especially on the internet, there appears to be a great need for mildness. Performance drive and getting each other's measure seem prevalent on the internet. Whereas as humans we need mildness."

Would You like to comment on this?

I'd love to. God is a god of love. And mildness is one of the most beautiful manifestations of love. And on the internet, easy opinions, gut feelings and condemnation seem to have become bon ton. There is indeed a great need for mildness.

But I'm telling you this. This mildness must first of all be applied to oneself. Because the foraging and swearing internet users do not realize that they have become edgy, are on edge, are overloaded emotionally . They can no longer cope all the information and all the signals and all the knowledge that comes at them and is bombed into their parlour and bedroom.

One is overloaded, does not protect oneself and therefore out of nerves and out of inability one does everything except experiencing mildness and expressing mildness.

That's why My advice is: protect yourself, internet users, distance yourself from the requested and unsolicited internet noise of especially disturbing mess. Sit under a tree, listen to a bird or listen your own feelings, experience consciously a chronic lack of peace and room in yourself. And from this insight one becomes calmer, more tolerant, more laconic. And milder. And to mildness  every fellow human being included yourself there is an intense, intense need for. 

This is a real message for Pentecost.

Peter Nissen is blessed.

The devil suffers from our prayers

No one is a firmer believer in the power of prayer than the devil; not that he practices it, but he suffers from it (Guy H. King)

My God, I think this quote is very special, would You like to comment on this? 

My good son, this is also a favourite subject for me. Why?

Because the devil stands for everything man does without God or for everything he does when he thinks God doesn't exist. And that is not painful for God but for man. 

We do not comment at the moment on what the best prayers look like and who the devil is actually. These are topics covered in other blogs.

When man does not pray, his actions are more at risk of being influenced by lower forces, primitive drives or even evil and destructive energies. That's what the devil stands for. That's what the devil's doing. There the devil finds his power, which is then taken over by man to the maximum. That's where pernicious and disturbing and worrying things happen. There, the devil can go about his business without any significant resistance.

But then prayers. Woe the devil when man is praying.  For the man who prays opens a door or window to God. He reaches out to God, and God and Its helpers can then get to work. Prayer blurs the devil, chases him back to the pits of hell, weakens his grip on man, makes it difficult for him to seduce man into negative deeds. Prayers weaken the devil's influence while he was already at it and prevent the devil from getting closer and drive him away from man. Prayers torment the devil. Prayers weaken the devil. Prayers therefore allow for greater deeds, and more loving acts and acts of compassion and affection. And the devil can also do his thing if people don't believe at all that he exists.

If more people would pray, the transformation of the world and the Great Correction would be less painful, people would suffer less, and diseases and destruction, wars and natural disasters would be less powerful. This has to be said.

And it must also be said that this does not imply that people who do not pray are at the mercy of the devil and people who do pray against the devil are protected. Fortunately, the works of God are supreme and available to every living being, including unbelievers. But this blog is about a method that is available to everyone and would provide great support to every human being in his earthly life. This method is not being sufficiently applied nowadays.  Guy King is blessed.

Faith sees best in the dark (Kierkegaard)

My God, I read in a newspaper that Biden has this note hanging on his mirror. He lost his wife and child and later his adult son. Could You comment on this quote? 

My son, why don’t you start? 

Certainly, of course, as You prefer.

How can anyone disagree with this? If you are doing well, you will continue to believe in the outer world and take everything for granted and as a human being you will also believe that this is all thanks to your own ability and will. But by now, I know better.

When you are tempted as a human being, you are drawn into your inner self. And then you see a lot of suffering and sadness but also hope and you will feel more inner strength. Yet I have noticed, this will always be the case, sometimes even in the deep valleys of despair. And than it seems as if you are making more contact with your faith, with the spiritual support you receive, you are going to feel that too, a comfort and love that comes from a spiritual source. Is this what You meant?

This will do. Yet there is something more about it.

In the dark, you're going to use different senses than your eyes. And in physical terms you could say, with your eyes you see the world but with your ears you hear God. And this is even more true in the case of spiritual darkness. 

In the spiritual light, when you are happy, you see the beauty of life. But in the spiritual dark, you can't see that, and then you can hear the beauty of life. And that is the voice of God, the voice of the spiritual world, the voice of your inner self, the voice of the eternal. Then faith gets the best chance. That's why faith sees best in the dark.  

Kierkegaard is blessed.

The Mother God is in all suffering

3My God, may I ask you. Thus at Easter, the agony of Christ is central, mainly in the Christian churches. Could You relate to the suffering, including of mankind?

The Father-God knows what suffering will bring, the Mother God feels what this suffering is costing.  

The Father-God already saw the promise of the suffering Christ. And saw the transition from the earth to a new spiritual phase. The Mother God stood at the feet of the cross, so to speak, and suffered as well.

The Father God oversees the great whole, sees through suffering what the promise is, and is like the doctor who cleans the wound to heal, even if it hurts.

In every human being, the Father God cherishes the hope.

The Mother God suffers, supports the afflicted ones, is as close to man as his own heart, and makes man feel that he is being carried in his suffering.

In every human being, is the Mother God companion in suffering. 

And of course the Father God and the Mother God are one and work together fully and in great harmony to guide the children of mankind through their suffering to their enlightenment, that they may become Sons and Daughters.  Christ showed the way.

My blessings to you all
