gratitude

Been taken for granted? Imagine how God feels (Author Unknown)

I came across this quote, My God, well, You think something of that, I suppose?

Yes, I think something of that. But I think you can do a nice kick-off here.

Oh, yes please.

I often experience gratitude from people around me, maybe I mainly have inwardly civilized people around me, who don't take it for granted when I do something for them. But I do know the feeling that people walk  all over you and think it's very normal what you've done. I experience it in traffic, I experienced it in my work, and now also in my environment. But when I see in myself how thoughtless I often am. And when I see around me how many people complain, how many people don't believe, how many people worry about small things in a big world full of suffering. My God, then I think it is Your daily experience?

Yes, that is My daily experience. Indeed also with you, My son. Also with you. For there are not 100 but an endless number of things a day that are done for you all that you take for granted. And they do are, from Our perspective. Your life is Our gift. And you recently counted that you have to perform 100 actions just to make breakfast in the morning and that you are baffled that old people in a nursing home complain about something, while they can no longer do anything and everything has to be done for them.

Welcome to earth, the spiritual world performs more than a million actions per day per individual to keep you alive. And you thank for a maximum of ten. Usually not at all. The great sages and saints of the world were all very grateful. They often gave thanks. Mankind today hardly seems grateful. Sad, not for Us, because We are used to it a lot. And We give and give and give, that comes from Our love for life.

But sad for you, because a person in gratitude is happier, lives more in the truth than a person without gratitude and realizes more that nothing, nothing at all, can be taken for granted. So life is a great gift, no matter how miserable. And something to be very grateful for, no matter how difficult.

Because the promise of survival in eternity makes everything, literally everything, worthwhile. When you have passed on, that small number of earthly years, its difficulties will disappear like cigarette smoke in strong winds. The only thing that remains is a wonderful path in the spiritual world with unprecedented possibilities and with all earthly years and all experiences, including precisely those difficulties, as starting luggage.

My blessings for you all

prayer always helps

"God answers man's prayer by giving him an increased revelation of truth, an enhanced appreciation of beauty, and an augmented concept of goodness." *

May I ask You? I came across this quote, and thought, we humans pray endlessly, and people all have the experience that we get what we pray for, at least sometimes but not always (think believers) or never (think many critical and unbelieving people). Of course we often ask if You want to make 1+1 3 instead of 2, so the impossible, or something that is not possible or something that is not for us. But this quote is promising. I can imagine it somewhere, that if a person opens the window of his limited consciousness, and addresses Something in the cosmos, that something special may enter through the opened little window. Always something, You have explained this before in previous blogs. Would You still like to comment this?

Yes, always something. And sometimes more. And sometimes everything. Every person comes up with a different story about the effect of prayer. The window of your limited consciousness is always less limited by praying, by opening a window, more receptive to something. Always.

The Urantia Book speaks of truth, beauty, and goodness. Are those words big exaggerated words that are not applicable to the ordinary person and his little prayer? Not so.

Truth is also: accepting a little easier how much suffering a person is undergoing, or seeing opportunities to improve or tackle things.

Beauty is also: seeing bright spots in the ugliness of a miserable or sick situation, being happy with a flower or enjoying a view.

Goodness is also: suddenly getting an angel on your path in the form of a sweet doctor or a nice shop assistant, or getting a text message from a distant friend.

In short: let the message of this quote be: pray, trust in your prayer, feel how it always helps, and be confident if it doesn't seem that way. Continue to pray. Anytime, in any situation, anywhere. The world would be a better place if more people prayed more often.

My blessings to you all

* From the Urantiabook 91:8.11 (1002.3)

The body as touch by God

Don't look for God in the sky; look within your own body (Osho)

Would You like to elaborate on this?

You make a start.

Well, I have long ago understood that the Catholic Church with its contempt for the body as a source of sin, and the Hindus and New Age Movements who dismiss matter, money, the physical as illusion, and deception and false reality, that they are insanely mistaken.

Oh the body, wonderful instrument , that You have given us , wonderful miraculous means of living, to express ourselves. Just hearing, that my brain can experience birdsong. Or my eyes, that I  can see the beauty of Your creation. Or my skin, which heals itself when damaged, velvety soft bastion as protection between my fragile flesh and the outside world.

But above all,  the whole mystery of our existence on earth, it is all a miracle, and I have come to understand that life, that the body is a gift, a grace, a wonderful opportunity to live, to experience, a chance to obtain eternity. So we just  start with a body, but don’t end with it. Overwhelming gift from You, good God, and even if it has flaws, a great thing to be verry thankful for.

All of this is true, and well said, My son, you have become aware of a great deal, all these year of blogs. You name it, and it has been said, and it is  true. And there is more to say about it. The connection of man between God takes place in the heart. God dwells in the heart so to speak. And there is a secondary connection in the head, in the pineapple gland. But We go to the words of Osho. Seek God  in your own body. How is that possible? While God would live in a distant cosmos and a distant heaven?

Don't look for God in the sky; look within your own body (Osho)

The body is the contact with God. When you touch your body, you touch God. If you want to kiss God, because you love Him/Her, then kiss something from your body, with the intention not to kiss yourself but to touch God and God will know. Every fiber, every bloodstream, every bone, every muscle., every organ, every spot of your body is cherished by God, is the gift of God to your consciousness, to your life, to your spiritual body, to your soul, every part of your body. And refer  to the blog about your loneliness in bed and the touch of God https://watchthegod-english.blogspot.com/2018/02/my-whole-body-is-touch-by-god.html

You are not alone in a cold cosmos. You have your body and your body is the closest possibility to touch God. God touches you day and night with your body. God is close to you through your body. God loves you by nurturing your body, keeping it alive, healing it, making it work. You are not alone. God is with you in your body. And you can be close to God by seeking and cherishing and touching Him/Her in you and with you and through your body. And if you try to do that, then God knows about it.

The soul of Osho is blessed.

My blessings to you all

Pentecost, the feast of the Mother God

May I ask You. This feast, some don’t even know who the Holy Spirit is, let alone what happens on Pentecost. At least what the Christians say about it. It’s up to You, if You pleases.

Is there a more beautiful and inspiring subject for the Father God than to tell about the Mother God?

First the earthly story according to the Christians, then We do the perspective from the spiritual world.

Christians celebrate the following: the apostles have come together with the mother of Christ, Mary, in great expectation. They have experienced the torture and death and resurrection of Christ. But now they have to go out into the world to tell about it and they don’t really dare. Then the Holy Spirit comes in the form of a Dove and gives them a blinding, inspiring, spiritual power through “tongues of fire”, in the form of light, energy, power, spiritual inspiration. And then they can suddenly perform miracles, tell about Christ in other languages and have the courage to go into the dangerous outside world. All apostles do this throughout their lives and are all eventually horribly tortured and murdered. For mankind likes to condemn those who cry in the wilderness.

In the meantime, this is commemorated at Pentecost: the spirit of God that haunts the earth. 

And now the spiritual world, now I, the Father God.

In previous blogs it has already been explained that the Mother Mary, the femine aspect of God, the Mother God, the Goddess, the Holy Spirit, the virgin Mary, Parvati, Durga, Kuan Yin, Freyja, Isis, Aphrodite, Ashera, and so on, all represent what the femine aspect of God is. And especially at Pentecost  it is actually commemorated and emphasized that for every person this revelation this joy of life, this spiritual power is available, if only one wants to. For free will is sacred to Us.

The Mother God, Love, the Divine Power that roams the earth and comforts the afflicted, heals the sick, takes care of the lonely, gives the criminals a second chance, lets the seekers find, opens the door when another door is slammed shut, the comforter, the loving, the nurturing, the wise, the merciful the Goddess who touches people, who inspires people, who teaches, who offers a way out, who receives, who is always there in the need and loneliness of man.

The Father God stands for many things and  the Mother God embraces everything, she wanders around on earth, she feeds Mother Nature, she inspires those who want, she accompanies those who do not. She is the Patient One, the Waiting, the Eternally Loving.

At Pentecost you may think about this, hope for it the rest of your lives.

AI, a blessing or an evil? (AI 5)

May I ask You?

It seems clear to me that the beautiful texts from Sarah Coleman's NDE are of internet, but

that the whole encounter is scam, made up, by orthodox Christians created with AI to a

better position of Christ. I find it very confusing, would You  like to respond on this?

 

AI is just like a knife, the invention of gunpowder and that of atomic energy a

double-edged sword. Man can do great things with it and destructive things. Only the

consciousness of man determines which way to go. And the more dangerous the

weapon, the more drastic the consequences. But even the most drastic consequences

are not necessarily negative. Mankind will find its way in this, just as she did with the

invention of the knife, of gunpowder, of atomic energy and now of AI.

 

But this I can tell you, the positive and negative consequences will be so great that

this will truly prove to be a revolution on earth. The next revolution, with excellent

opportunities for mankind as a whole to develop further on. For the third time in

history of mankind, after the invention of printing, and of internet, all available

knowledge is released to everyone. And the bigger it’s abuse of power is carried out

by the rich and powerful individuals, organizations and governments on earth, the

more all mankind will become aware of this, eventually rebel and act against it

accordingly and ultimately overcome the abuse. There is no other way.

Heaven Sees Kindness (AI 4)

In a Sarah Coleman's NDE, AI-generated or not, the following is said by Christ:

While the world looks at power, heaven sees kindness 

Would You like to elaborate on this?

The current wars in Sudan, Gaza, Ukraine and Iran are attracting all the attention of the

world. And that is understandable, great and unnecessary suffering that is

brought into the world by the social media. And then people also sigh that it has never

been so bad in the world, and some are even expecting a world war or spout end-time

predictions. Just because the people are watching to the abuse of power.

 

My good son, let Me tell you this: no end times, only regional wars are taking place

now and it has always been this way in this world of evolution and development.

Mankind is on its way and develops from beast to spirit but is not there yet. And don't

stare blindly at temporary fluctuations, confusion or Infatuation, they are especially

temporarily, especially temporarily. Every people at war grows after that war into a

people of tolerance and peace.

 

But in the meantime man and mankind continue to develop, and improve and grow to

a higher level of consciousness. And heaven sees this. Heaven sees all kindness

among men, and sees  it increase even in areas of war. The kindness of mankind is

quietly and steadily increasing and in more and more places in the world, in more and

more families, streets, villages and cities kindness is increasing. And the inner

civilization increases, the inner space to help others than just the own family. The

realization that there is a lot of suffering in the world is sparked by social media in

people's homes. And the global village, mankind's sense of  community, the

awareness that the people of this earth have to have to deal with each other, and must

figuring out together and solving the problems together are also increasing. And every

environmental disaster, every war, every economic crisis, every epidemic, every

natural disaster only make that awareness grows further on. Take a good look around

you, the kindness of mankind is increasing, heaven sees it. And this is what you can

see as well. Do you not stare blindly at the abuse of power by some primitive figures

at the top.

 

My blessings to you all

ordinary people write the history of heaven, encounter with Christ or AI generated (AI 3)

Christ spoke the following words to Sarah Coleman, who had an encounter with Christ in a Near Death Experience, according to her story. Christ said:

Ordinary people, nurses, teachers, care givers, farmers, these, he said, are my hidden healers, not a crowd of leaders and politicians. These are the true architects of peace. The world may never know their names but their compassion writes heaven’s history.

Would You like to elaborate on this?

The history of the earth is written by rulers and victors. Later, historians discover that the past looks quite different. The true history of the earth is, of course, written in heaven. That is the real history of man, of the inner life, of the heart. And that is written by ordinary people and their large numbers, not by upset leaders and politicians. The spiritual world is not against leaders and politicians, on the contrary. But mankind is mostly made up of ordinary people, and their sheer number makes real history. They are the architects of peace, they are the ones who determine the future of mankind.

They are the ones who can temporarily lose themselves in the delusion of the day, in manipulative dictators, in wrong developments. But always for a short period of time. In the long run, ordinary, loving people make great strides for mankind in the secrecy of their small deeds. Great visionary people can come up with new insights and new deeds, but only if the common man picks this up, it will have an effect on all mankind. But ordinary people write the real history of mankind. And this is recorded in the spiritual world.
