A Hindu temple in The Hague (2)

You promised to comment on my blog last week, in which I tell how moved I am by the atmosphere, the openness and the spiritual energy that I experienced during my visit to this temple.

I will do so.

You have appreciated this ancient Hindu belief well. So many years of devotion and tradition, and refined rituals and a variety of images of God and stories about great heroes who were dealing with the gods contribute precisely to what you felt. A strong impact on your sense of devotion that is accompanied by great spiritual energy. One enters and one is touched immediately. One is absorbed into the great temple, which is built in the spiritual world, which exerts its influence on every visitor. And it also touches the distant environment with the spread of spiritual energy. The Hindu temples are also transformer houses of spiritual energy and a blessing for the environment.

From the principle of monotheism and the fight against superstition and from the perspective of the human ratio, Islam, Judaism and Protestantism score very well on earth. One God, great simplicity and austerity.

Shintoism, Catholicism and Hinduism on the other hand score best on the principle of multi-colouredness and creativity and support for the human heart and for human emotional life.
And who will tell which of the now seven billion people on earth must believe what? God / Allah / Braham / Yahweh does not do this. More often, Its servants on earth do that, too often.

The glorious multi-colouredness of Hinduism is best symbolized by the Holi-Phagwa festival where spring, the victory of good over evil and the new year are celebrated. And non-Hindus are very welcome at this party. All fellowmen. And have you not experienced in this temple that you and your family member as non-Hindus were very welcome to receive the bindi (dot on the forehead)?

That gets Me to another aspect that I would like to emphasize in this blog. The openness to other religions, other gods, other forms of faith. The Hindus were delighted to welcome Christians and their Christ. They were impressed by the figure of Christ, His spiritual example and the rituals and customs of the Catholics for example such as the communion and a church full of images of saints. It only contributed to the multi-color nature of their faith. This is a wonderful characteristic of the Hindus, they did want to welcome Christ and Mary, but the Christians wanted them to abolish Ganesh and Durga and so on. In contrast with the Christians the Hindu faith here displays a beautiful, rich, wise and age-old openness that is sung in the spiritual world!

Finally this, My son. We do great injustice to the Hindu faith of devoting just two blogs to their rituals, their gods, their wisdom and their traditions. But we can't help it. We have so many other topics in front of us. And after all, you have to visit a synagogue and a mosque for example as well?

The Hindus are blessed.

The holy trinity and man

From the perspective of other religions, this image of the Christian churches of a holy trinity is quite criticized, but I wonder if, in essence, this is not a truth for all religions? Would You like to comment on this?

I will do so.

The holy trinity is a spiritual fact and is a truth for all religions and a living reality in every individual person. Let this be said beforehand.

The holy trinity is mentioned as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen too.

We have said before that it actually firstly refers to the Father God, secondly to the Mother Goddess and thirdly to the incarnating God on earth, incarnating in man, the Son of God or the Daughter of God.  

Of course the Muslims are right when they say God cannot have a son. And there is only one God. In essence this is true. There is God / Allah / Brahman / Yahweh and some other names and interpretations, as you people know. But only ONE God.

But of course God has two sides, the feminine and the masculine side, two rather important opposing forces in the cosmos. The Christians have come to call these two principles the Father and the Holy Spirit, but it is the indivisible Deity with a masculine and feminine "side", we can easily call it the God-Goddess, but the Father- Mother fits better into this argument. Reasoned in a certain human way, We are already at Two Gods, Forces, Principles, Workings, Beings.  

But the Muslims and Hindus actually are wrong because from the human perspective these two different forces are very tangible and recognizable and experienced.

The Father God with Intelligence and Will and the Word that creates the earth and man.

And next the Mother-Goddess with truth and wisdom and love, who wanders over the earth, so there we have a Holy Spirit, who blows spiritual energy into men and comforts men.

Two Powers for men.

The Muslims drop out, although they acknowledge that Allah has a thousand names.
The Protestants have given the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Truth, a prominent role.
The Catholics cherish the image of the Holy Mother, Mary, the Comforter, the Queen. But in all cases it is about the Mother Goddess.
The Jews give God a strict righteous and a forgiving merciful side expressed respectively in the designations Eelohim (God) and Adonai (the Name, the Eternal). But they actually think it is absurd to grant God genitals.

But in the mean time of course God has masculine and feminine qualities.

What does God not have?

The Hindus do not want to divide Brahma into a feminine and masculine side, because they do agree with the Muslims. Bhrama is indivisible, one and there is only one God. But then the many attributes of God appear in a whole pantheon of Gods like the Greeks and Romans did, and so the feminine (shakti) side of Brahma returns well to Parvati, the peaceful, or in furious forms such as Durga, Chamunda or Kali. But do know that they are all attributes of God.

And the Buddhists started to indirectly identify Buddha with a (male) Deity and the female Deity became Kuan Yin and that's how we are around.

And now comes for man the most important aspect of God, namely the incarnation of God, the Son. The Holy Trinity is so complete, the Father and the Mother and the Son. The son of God on earth and because we are feminist the Son / Daughter on earth. And the Son / Daughter are thus the incarnating god but most of the time man becoming God.

And if you look at all religions, you see the uncontrollable need of believers to experience God close by in His Son and Daughter. Thus Christ comes close, the man Buddha, the prophet Mohamed, the patriarchs and holy teachers of the Jews, Krishna and Rama for  the Hindus. And because of the patriarchal past of mankind, the Daughters have faded into the background, but not correctly. They are equally important in the eyes of God.

And now at last the holy trinity in man.

Every person has his own personal Trinity. The My God, the My Goddess and the My Son / Daughter. And when someone says he is talking with Jesus, is hearing Mary, sees Mohamed in his thoughts, observes the voice of Krishna from within, is having a divine revelation or an appearance of his / her prophet, it is almost always about the personal My Trinity that gives appearance entirely in accordance with this man's religious tradition in a form such as the striking God-Goddess Son / Daughter. And so communication is optimal. For all.

You alone I worship (Profound sayings, 4)

My God, would You like to comment on this?

My son,

I will do so.

All religions, whether they have given expression to God / Brahman / Yahweh / Allah or to all helpers, saints, prophets, servants, intermediaries, angels or messengers as well, they do the right thing if they bring man again and again to this insight.

This is the way.

The temple of prayer

Recently I was praying in my room. The candles were lit, the incense was burning and there were vases of fresh roses near relics and portraits. And suddenly I got the feeling that I was in a spiritual temple and I experienced a great sense of holiness and devotion.
 

Would You like to comment on this?

I love to.

It helps you to come into the sphere of holiness and worship by using incense and candles and portraits and relics, that is your Catholic background.
But know that a spiritual temple is being built up, or if it is already existing reinforced, for every person on earth who prays.

A Protestant with only a cross, a Muslim with only a word in Arabic on the wall of his living room, a Hindu for an image of Shiva, a Zen Buddhist in an empty white room, a Jew who is while swaying reading the Torah, a New Age adept who meditates on his spiritual teacher, all come into the same situation as you, even if everyone is experiencing something different and is giving different words to it.

As soon as a man prays, the spiritual world is building around this person a spiritual temple of unprecedented beauty. And the more often a person prays, on the more regular basis he is doing this, the longer and more intensely he prays, the bigger and more powerful the temple will be.

And the temple is indeed a fact in the spiritual world. It is a powerful transformer for spreading spiritual energy. This energy flows through this praying man to the environment of this person and of course to whom or  what he is praying for. I mention it consciously in this order, because that is reality.

A praying man is a blessing for his environment and an instrument for the spiritual world to reach the earth with healing, inspiring or uplifting energy. If men knew how wonderful the environment becomes when one prays, how beneficial its effect is and how fruitful for the cooperation between the spiritual world and the evolutionary earth, one would certainly pray more.

So many visiting the blogs, from so many countries and so many blogs

Last week, the English and Dutch Watchthegod blogs showed 88,888 visits, and this happened out of more than 100 countries. And the number of published blogs now stands at 400 in total. The most diverse subjects have been discussed, from angels to matter, from emotions to life after death, from inner peace to evolution.
This is what I wanted to say, and I thank the good God for the wonderful, inspiring and lucid texts. I do hope I have listened correctly to my inner voice, to the My God in my heart, to my Spark of God, to my Atman.
The publication of a book of the first 100 blogs, in Dutch and in English, corrected properly by a native speaker, has resulted in a considerable delay in printing by a busy life and private circumstances. But we're almost there, maybe they will be published before 2018.
This is just a message in between from me.
Do You want to admit something?

My son, do I not have always to add something?

Does the world not need any messages from the spiritual world? Isn’t mankind not extremely confused by all the problems and risks of modern life? Is mankind not desperately looking for inner peace? Aren’t My texts a consolation and a proof of love, tolerance and wisdom? Aren’t you doing your outmost best to listen well, even if it does not always work? Will we not just continue, we together, I your Spark of God and you, My human being?

Am I not satisfied if one man is touched by a watchthegod blog in the solitude of his home? Or if anyone gets inspiration and looks differently and less narrow-minded to life than before? Or if anyone gets more hope or is better coping the problems of life through a beautiful blog? And is it not glorious if someone who lost faith in the servants of God on earth founds courage and opens up to God / Allah / Brahman / Jahweh with new insight or at least listens again to the signals of the spiritual world?

And you, My son, you are thinking of quitting the texts because you consider 400 texts as enough. But I do not want you to stop. I want you to take courage. I want you to leave your personal concerns for what they are. I want you to keep listening to Me and continue to do your best to send My messages into the world. I want that. And I know that you eventually find My will of more importance than your own will.

Be blessed for your service. It will be time for a new phase. Wait quietly and continue in the meantime loyally, My Messenger.

What You Want, My God.

Be blessed.

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

There are no virgins waiting for dead terrorists

I am in the monastery of Zundert and hear about the bombings in Paris through my smartphone. So much peace and tranquility I am experiencing in the monastery and at the same time those attacks on innocent people in Paris.
My God, I know that the terrorists are convinced they are righteous, maybe they are acting out of revenge, they for sure belief that Allah is on their site.
Coincidentally in the service Psalm 34 is sung by the brothers, for verse 16 really strikes me:

“but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,

to blot out their name from the earth.”

Thus says the Lord of the Jews in this psalm about those who do evil.

What are You saying, my God?
What does God say?
What does Allah say?

God and Allah, the Lord of the Jews, Jehovah, even Brahman, they all say the same, for They are ONE.

“but the face of Them is against those who do evil,

to blot out their name from the earth.”

The terrorists kill out of hatred. They are not killing soldiers in a battle, then there is still something to be said, man to man. But they kill innocent civilians who want to be happy and loved ones are waiting innocently at home for their dead beloved ones. These fanatics are not loved by Allah, no virgins are waiting for them in paradise.

What is awaiting them, depending on their state, are darkness and loneliness.

For them are the consequences of their heinous acts.
They crawl around like animals, are trapped in astral pens, await their fate with pain and fear, are baffled about the welcome they will get in the spiritual world.
It is a welcome of hatred because they have sown hatred thus hatred will be reaped.
Even though their fate is temporary, it is for sure not what they have expected.

Terrorists are living in the wrong area.

The area of women.
The area of peace.
The area of education.
The area of open-mindedness,
The area of global consciousness.
The area of growth of the divine spark in the human heart.

Terrorists are living in the wrong area.

And they get just for a while some authority, some power, some prestige.
But they will come more quickly to their downfall than Hitler did.
Because everything is going faster, these times, the decline of evil men as well.
Their existence will extinct on earth.

My blessings to you all

God tabernacles a plain woman (W.H. Auden)

I read a poem by W.H. Auden, "In Schrafft '' and especially this part struck me:

Having finished the Blue-plate Special

And reached the coffee stage,
…A somewhat shapeless figure
of indeterminate age
… our globular furore,
…Which of the seven heavens
Was responsible her smile
Wouldn’t be sure but attested
…That, whoever it was, a god
Worth kneeling-to for a while
Had tabernacled and rested.

Would You like to comment on this poem?

What can I say?

Didn’t Auden say it all inspired by his "My God" ?
But because you want so, I will indeed comment on it.

Having finished the Blue-plate Special

And reached the coffee stage
A somewhat shapeless figure
of indeterminate age

Do not underestimate the sight of a man.

Do not underestimate the ordinariness.
Do not underestimate the inconspicuous behaviour.
Without exception every person  is cherished, seen, tabernacled,  forseen and beloved. by God

our globular furore

The agitation, the stream of refugees, the killing by Muslim fanatics, the intense environmental pollution are raging on this furious planet, but this has nothing to do with God visiting man

…Which of the seven heavens

Was responsible her smile
Wouldn’t be sure but attested
…That, whoever it was, a god

The spiritual world is pointed here as the cause of her smile.

The hidden God can be seen and suspected in man, if you look carefully and if you feel quite accurately.
Auden is making God great by letting a god, whatever god, make Itself known

Worth kneeling-to for a while

Auden let man really do something to bring god within.

He doesn’t underestimate at all what is needed here.
God waits for man if man makes an effort, knocks, works for it.
This is an interaction, a long process.
That man can experience happiness and satisfaction over here.
But also only by kneeling, by surrendering, by the willingness, by the Thy will will be done, by asking, by waiting, by letting go.

Had tabernacled and rested

This will really need a separate blog, My son.

God who comes to rest in man.
And then to be visited by God. After an invitation to God experiencing “God is coming within”.
The "My God" or the My Allah or the Atman or the "My Yahweh", the spark of God, "whatever god".
Who is waiting for so many years, and labouring, and trying, and giving, and hoping, and beckoning, and searching for man, a god vulnerably waiting.
And then resting in temple of man.
Almost better than any religion Auden is bringing man very close to God, very close, very close.

W. H. Auden is blessed

The most personal bond between God and each human being

God has no religion (Mahatma Gandhi)

Would You like to comment on this?

Once the time will come churches, religions, ministers and priests, imams and pastors will have disappeared from the face of the earth, such as the ink pot, gas lanterns and wooden bicycles.

But in the meantime in this world in the here and now this can be said:
Nowadays religions and churches, mosques and temples are a necessary link for people to experience faith, to share faith, to be encouraged and to get a better relationship with God, Allah, Brahman, Yahweh etc.
That’s allright because it’s the reality. And the time has not yet come for a religion-free world, not yet. But Mahatma Gandhi, a great son of man, made a visionary statement that will be experienced by everyone once.

And more and are more men will follow their own personal path in their search for God, for the eternal life, for what is hidden behind the scenes of life, in their quest for the spiritual world on earth and in the spiritual spheres .

It does not seem so.

Because one sees fanatical orthodox Jewish believers, dogmatic Christians who expect an end time and the return of Jesus Christ, one sees Muslim terrorists and earthly caliphates.
Yet they all are oldfashioned, even though they will still shock the world with their fanaticism, their orthodoxy, their callous image of God.
They proliferate only just for a short time. Because mankind must heal his own cancers, willingly and later on unwillingly.

After the coming transition period, the New Man will stand up,  after a natural purification of the earth, after the temporary crisis in the field of economy, society, religion and the environmental pollution.

This man will have a different relationship with nature, with the inner self, with society, with God, a most individual band, where no one can interfere. But a band that shows respect and compassion for all.

God will be experienced exactly as Mahatma Gandhi has provided, namely in the inner self, in the heart of man, without the intervention of religions and ministers.

God has no religion

Mankind will be finally and massively have come to realize that God is not only residing in the distant universe, but also in one’s own heart.

And for the record, I sketch not heaven on earth, for the evolution of man, of the earth, of nature will require a much longer time before a heaven on earth will emerge. Man is not straightaway holy.
But very soon indeed the My God, the Spark of God, the Atman, the Adjuster will have acquired Its rightful place in the consciousness of almost every human being.

I will give you rest (Christmas 2014, 1)

Mathew 11-28 Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest

Would you like to comment on this quote?

Yes, I will.

Christ said this to mankind.

For Christians He is a living example.
And the Muslims, the Hindus, the Jews, the Buddhists, the New Agers and all other believers on earth, they don’t know how to set about it?
Accepting this as a living example to deal with? Or disregard it because they do not follow Christ?

To all of them the spiritual world says:

The Father-Mother God sent His strength to the earth, and uplifted the human consciousness with a Man who did nothing but follow the Will of the Father-Mother God.
Because of this attitude the Kingdom of God on earth was realized in this Man.
And to the Muslims, the Hindus, the Jews, the Buddhists, the New Agers and to all other believers on earth, the Father-Mother God says:

“Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”

And that I is the Father-Mother God.

And that I is Allah.
And that I is Brahman.
And that I is the Buddha.
And that I is Yahweh.
And that I is the Eternal.
And that I is the ONE.
And that I is the Power and Strength of the cosmos.
And that I is the Living Reality in the heart of man.
And that I is the Entrance on earth to the Kingdom of God.
And that I is the key to the Heart.
And that I is the Spark of  God in the individual man.
And that I is the Potency capable of transforming the earthly man into Son or Daughter of God.

Because if the earthly man labours and  is heavy laden, he will, if he wants to and if he chooses to, find peace close to God Itself.

In this way everyone can celebrate Christmas, with what so ever belief.

My blessings to you all

From doubt into ecstasy

I sometimes think: God is talking to me, I've got crazy. The doubt whether I am doing well, is not always, but sometimes present. Recently it was fed by a conversation with a sister who thinks I'm wrong, saying I am manipulated by the voice. It might be a voice of a great soul, but mislead. She also said I am undermining 5000 years Judeo-Christian tradition with the blogs. Gradually her criticism seeped into my consciousness, like poison spread through your veins. One night I was completely baffled and said to God, not to the voice, but explicitly and emphatically to God:

"Holy God Almighty, Father of the universe, Yahweh, God of the Jews, Brahman, God of the Hindus, Father, God of the Christians, Allah, God of the Muslims, You, Holy God Almighty, I want to ask You. Do You want on behalf of the deathbed of my mother, on behalf of my love for my deceased daughter, on behalf of the difficult moments in my life in which I was visibly helped by You, do You want, one and only Almighty God, creator of heaven and earth , on behalf of the loving life of Christ, on behalf of all what is holy in the spiritual world, and on behalf of the love among men, do You want to silence for five minutes this voice, this voice of "My God", which passed me these blogs and made me choose the tweets to have them commented.

Do You want to silence this voice which I am hearing since June 10, 2011, do You want to silence this voice for five minutes, five minutes silence in my consciousness, IF this voice is not from You, IF this voice is false, IF this voice is a hoax, IF this voice is an illusion of my mind. I ask You on behalf of all that is holy in life, knock this voice down, silence it, IF this voice is not from You. IF I am using the name of God in vain, while I am loving You my whole life. Would You like to silence this voice for five minutes, IF there is deceit and falsehood and insult of Your honor, Your love, Your goodness.
Please bring this voice to silence for five minutes, I am begging You, IF this voice is not pure, not from You, not coming from You?

During my supplication it is dead quiet in my consciousness, and when I've finished my prayer, I do hear nothing for two seconds. And then:

My son, be reassured, My voice is of God, I Am That I Am, I am God. Everything is all right. You are truly engaged. You are allowed to repeat and renew this prayer every day. Be reassured. And rest now in My milky-white bosom, be welcomed in the Kingdom of God.

An endless silence is overcoming me, and I feel absorbed in an empty space of love and peace, in a Total absence of ego and personality. The mere presence of God.
I fall asleep and I am the next day, today, filled with an immense awe, as if I am feeling again how holy God is, and how amicably I dealt with the voice. I am living my life, as if God is looking at me Personally.
I say to God: God, I'm sorry pretending as if You are just a voice in my head, as if You are just a friend, and I feel sorry for having doubted You last night. While I am experiencing today Your holiness, Your majesty, Your love.


I'm understanding your doubt. I am just happy with your presence, I do want to be very close, and I know you as a human being can not imagine My power, My strength, My greatness, My holiness. I do know. Especially I want to be near you.
Be reassured.

On the pain of man and Allah's understanding

 "That moment... when you realize only Allaah understands your pain" . #TheMuslimMoments 7 september

Would You like to comment on this tweet ?

Being muslim is being a man at peace. That peace is available for everyone.
If Muslims want everybody to be a man/woman in peace, then they’re right.
If Muslims want everyone to be a Muslim then they’re wrong.
Everyone needs to become a man/woman in peace.
In peace with oneself.
In peace with the fellow men.
In peace with life.
And if this fits within your desire: peace with Allah, or God, or Brahman or Yahweh or whatever you call God.
I tell you, it does not matter how you call Me.
It does not matter in which religion you seek Me.
It does not matter in what form you recognize Me.

I am the Unnamable.
I am the Noble One.
I am your All.
I am your Father and Mother.
I am your Love.
I am your Future.
I am your Strength.
I am your Consolation.

"That moment... when you realize only Allah understands your pain"

That moment when you are disappointed in men, tired and smashed by the anxieties of life, searching for a foothold.
That moment, if it’s there and you realize that only I am understanding your pain.
That is the truth. For I am the Father-Mother.

I understand your way.
I oversee your failure.
I cleanse your wounds.
I soften your grief.
I am the Truth.
I am your eternal Consolation.
 
And whether you ask Me for help or not. Whether you believe in Me or not, I’ll send you help on the road. And My help consists of spiritual power of My angels or spirits, your fellow human beings who you find on your path, of the means available for you, of hope, of courage, of healing.
And when you have to perish, My help will be of comfort and strength.
All these assistances are My hands on earth.

"That moment... when you realize only Allah understands your pain"

I understand your pain.
I'm waiting for you.
I look forward to you.
I have patience, if you avoid this moment.
I understand if you neglect this moment.
I have compassion if you misinterpret this moment.
I am your durable, solid, reliable and everlasting Consolation.

My blessings to you all
