How do we approach God?

Some stand on tiptoe trying to reach God to talk — you try too hard, friend — drop to your knees and listen, he'll hear you better that way (Terri Guillemets)

Would You like to comment on this? 

Perhaps you can do the kick off? 

Oh, of course.

Well, I'm good at that, to show off to reach You, and pull out all the stops in my attempts to hear You. And because of this, of course, I block everything, force the communication and do not hear You or hear You badly. I know God, I know. And probably every human being does.  Is it not?

Almost every human being does that. An endless trying and forcing and getting also a lot of bells and whistles out of the closet because man thinks that God needs it to be able to communicate. And everything hinders communication except this: kneeling and listening.

Kneeling stands for doing nothing and trying nothing and wanting nothing but waiting and putting the ego aside. 

And listening stands for not asking, not wanting to enforce and not demanding.  

Blessed the man who does not, and even more so if he does.

God is very close

"Man does not have to go farther than his own inner experience ... to find God and attempt communion with him."  (Uriantiabook. Paper 5, § 0 page 62)

Is there one topic more important than this, my son, so I'm happy to do so. 

 

Every religion is a detour.

Every guru or vicar or iman is a detour.

Every spiritual book is a detour.

Every faith is a detour.

Every house of worship or temple is a detour.

 

The direct way is reaching God in the inner self.

And God waits for this direct communication and settles for the final moment after the detours of man. And until that moment, God settles for the necessary tools on man's path from ape to spirit, from matter to the spiritual world, from searching for God outside himself to finding God in one's own inner self.

And you for yourself, My son, goes to churches and places of worship, and talks to your fellow man about faith, and uses things to get closer to God, such as candles and statues and incense and other sacred means, but they’re not necessary. I'm waiting for you inside you and I want to communicate with you, but you still need the petty human means, and I accept that and I understand that, but they're not necessary. When is the moment when you for always settle for the shortest and most direct path, namely for the realization that I am in your inner self and that I am waiting there for you.

In the meantime, be blessed in all your efforts.

The difficulties of life and counting blessings

Me and many others find that there are a lot of problems in the world nowadays: Corona, terror attacks, an economic crisis, an uncertain future, refugees you name it. But now I'm reading a book that plays out in the Middle Ages. The cruelty, the ignorance, the prejudices, the poverty, the diseases, it really is many times worse than nowadays. Well, except for the environmental crisis, that's a thing.

Is it true, My God, that the worries of life are really less than in early days?

My son, you live in heaven compared to the Middle Ages. So it would be nice if you put the difficulties into perspective a little bit, if you counted your blessings more, if you were better armed against what is going on now. Over the past five centuries, life has become infinitely better for the majority of people. Not only physically, materially and in terms of health, but also in terms of education, freedoms and righteousness, you almost all live in heaven, compared to the hell of the Middle Ages. Count your blessings and do not fear of trouble. Your ancestors really had a tougher life. I'm not saying you're spoiled, but I'm saying you're very blessed these days. Rejoice more about that.   

My blessings to you all
