The voice within, from alcohol to sober (Law of mercy, miracles, 2)

I* went from being an alcoholic teenage preacher’s son to sober like an “off” switch at age 21 after five years of heavy drinking. I grew up in church, but as a young teen, I just had a rebel bone in me and got addicted to alcohol. I stayed drunk. On my 21st birthday, I had been drinking about eight hours straight and simply heard the voice of the Holy Spirit inside me say “Either do what I’ve called you to or I will not continue wrestling you.” It sounded so stern, however so loving! I was instantly sober. That just doesn’t happen. By the grace of God, I’m still sober years later! Praise the Lord!

The Holy Spirit, Female Aspect of God

Will you tell Me what the Holy Spirit is meaning to you?

At Pentecost inspiration and lightness seem to be stronger in life than other days. Such as Christmas and the birth of hope and Easter and suffering and liberation.
That's the Holy Spirit to me: inspiration or an experience with the lightness of life. Or a thought of brightness, by which I trust life more and by which I am more open to the beautiful and the refined of life. I feel a little bit uplifted. I am happier with everything, but more in my inner life. I see more of the beauty of nature. I am more armored against the nasty things of life. I therefore feel like I'm more up in my body, not somewhere downstairs between my crotch and my heart, but more upstairs between my heart and my head. And very odd sometimes higher as if I am looking down at myself and know there is more than my earthly personality.
But the dove of the Christians that’s not my piece of cake. Why a pigeon, I should prefer a turtle-dove above a wood-pigeon. I like other birds more such as the nuthatch or a long-tailed tit, or a stork. Well, that’s it.
Oh of course and the Holy Spirit is bringing me to You?

Thank you.
The Holy Spirit is not a dove from heaven indeed.
She is the female aspect of God, the love of God for mankind,  descended on earth. The Holy Spirit is God / Allah / Brahma/Yahweh, the Al working on earth, in man. The Holy Spirit promotes man in his path from beast to spirit. She is God expressing Her motherly love and saying: come to My bosom, be reassured of My love. Know there is hope and know you will succeed. Remember Me, come to Me, feel loved. I am touching you in your heart and in your mind.

Where the Father-God wants to express His Will and wants to develop His intelligence in man, the Mother-God, the Holy Spirit is spreading Her love and wisdom, is beckoning softly and wisely. She is measuring time and space and the place where man may be touched. She is teaching Her love in wisdom and gentleness. She is tempting and beckoning meekly.

The Jews are touched when they show wisdom and compassion in their lives, honor Her in Asherah, companion of El.
The Hindus honor the Goddess in their modesty, their compassion for the environment, in Parvati and Tara.
The Buddhists receive Her in the silence and humility of prayer and devotion, in Kuan Yin, the Female Buddha.
Christ promised the Holy Spirit, because the apostles weren’t managing without Her. The both Mary’s  and the feminin John were already touched by Her, did already get their own Pentecost. But the apostles, the men, needed Her badly. Christ knew this.
The Prophet Mohamed expressed her in a part of the Quran, in the loving, gentle, quiet sutras of awe and love and wisdom

The atheists find her on their path, when they feel compassion for the suffering of the world.
The humanists are fulfilled with Her, if they treat man with respect and humility.
The social organizations are working with Her when they are lifting up the vulnerable out of their misery.
Politicians are inspired by Her when they make laws of humanity and compassion.
The managers are feeling Her when they support and encourage their employees.
The dying are visited by Her, when they are fed up with the carcass of their body.
The deceased are inspired by Her when they have thrown off the earthly ballast and are going to feel they’ll have a hopeful future of lightness and growth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Holy Spirit, the Mother Goddess.

Patroness of the women of the Bible and the Koran: Sara, Rachel, Leah, Mary Magdalene, Kahadija, Zainab.
Supervisor of the priestesses and female pastors in the world.
Accomplisher of the incarnated love on earth.

Pentecost is reminding you of Her.

My blessings to you all

 

God is very emancipated

You have said that You’ll once would devote a blog to the position of women ?

So be it.
It is a strange phenomenon that in many religions women are suppressed. Even in a lot of New Age movements conservatism is common, saying a woman should know her place.
Indeed, a woman should know her place: namely being special, and equivalent to a man and having her rights and standing beside the man and in no way deserving any oppression and discrimination.
Concerning countries and people, religions and movements suppressing women and their talents, God says loud and clear, it’s had his day. The right road of mankind is the one on which men and women join equally and beside each other for the benefit of humanity.
There is no other way. God is telling you this. There is no other way.
I will refer to some salient points in the history of mankind. And of course We do not make a scientific exercise out of it.
God isn’t a theologian.

• Is the woman made out of a rib or made out of the side of the man? The symbolism of this is essential: the woman is not made out of a rib, this is implying the man was earlier. And there we get fairytales. The rib is just a part of the body of the man, so to say inferior.
  It is an allegory: in the beginning there was the image of the human and from that image, the man and the woman are made. And of course side by side, so beside each other. Beside each other. Actually co-evolved. So let it be said: simultaneously and equally, the primacy is not for the man. In nature, it happens quite often the male is dominant, but not all the time. Often couples have been around together, working together. The variation in nature does exist among humans as well: there have been matriarchies, and nowadays there are a lot of patriarchies. It is now time for equality.
• Judaism: Conservative groups are still acquainted with the dominance of men over women. Liberal movements have grown familiar with female rabbis and these rabbis are doing great. God likes this a lot: a female rabbi leading a group of men. It was about time for some correction and nuance. Orthodox groups, as in Israel, will be past one’s prime, this can’t last much longer.
• Hinduism: in this religion the feminine aspect has always gotten much leeway. Variation, colorfulness, emotion and imagination of Hinduism correspond more with the spiritual world than other religions do realize. Tara of Compassion and Durga the Goddess are Hindu Goddesses/Maria’s. But the practice of Hinduism has long been colored by partly primitive, undeveloped and disadvantaged people. The repression, the contempt for women, the suffering of women are great. But that is mainly a matter of social determination. The religion isn’t really causing this. Karma is misused for a fatalistic attitude to life. The gap between the ideal of religion and the practical reality is large in Hinduism. Better education and access to healthcare will generate female-friendly practice.
• Buddhism: Here is the male-female relation considerable quiet, it has flourished particularly among people with more development and civilization. Female Buddhas came, for example Kuan Yin (She who hears the cries of the world, a Buddhist Mary) and relatively many female pastors. A liberal movement on this field is Zen, a more orthodox variant is the Tibetan Buddhism. Furthermore is the practical reality often recalcitrant. But the philosophy of Buddhist religion in principle doesn’t prevent women's emancipation. More often the traditional society is imprisoning for debt a religion, maybe for long, but not for ever.
• Christianity: the first Christian communities were exceedingly emancipated. Specially because they still remembered the both holy Mary's. The Mary’s persisted at Christ's side, where the brethren, except John, had fled. The Mother Mary and the loving Magdalene. What a hymn, they have earned. These holy women, one always remaining holy, the other becoming holy in lifetime, their courage, their heart, their openness, their strength, their confidence, their leadership, their inspiration, their imitation of Christ. But the later patriarchy has brushed aside the women and has purged their stories, so the New Testament has many gaps. Orthodox Christian tendencies, including Catholic, have created in this manner institutions, where the woman doesn’t exist. But God will find a way to express the female element. To the Catholics it is Mary, the Mother, the eternal image of the Goddess, the feminine aspect of God, the Guardian, the loving One. And to the Protestants it is the Holy Spirit as feminine element, the Pigeon. Or practically through female ministers. A really bad reputation, in terms of the emancipation of women, do have, the orthodox Protestant tendencies: God is asking them: "where is the female aspect in your teachings?" Isn't God not the Father-Mother God?
• Islam: Important to notify is the setting of a misogynistic time and society in which the Quran has written. There are pretty respectful sutra's on women, and the Quran has contributed a lot to the emancipation of women in a misogynistic environment. But the picture nowadays is: too little, too poor emancipation, too much patriarchy and misogyny. The woman as a threat to the morality of the man. That’s not in the bargain. I therefore prefer to look at liberal tendencies. Female Soefie’s are pleasing God a lot. The Enlightenment must have his influence on the Islam. But this will happen the next 25 years.
• New age and spiritual movements: it is amazing to be seen how in this modern time a lot of tendencies among spiritual secularists and new agers come up based upon conservative and misogynistic lyrics. God is liberal, woman friendly and righteous. Eventually, only the emancipated currents will survive. The rest will become extinct like the dinosaurs. That’s how We “upstairs” consider tendencies. They really will be out of date. We encourage the development of spiritual tendencies where women give the key, go for the inspiration, if only as an overtaking maneuver.
• The secularization / the present: it is remarkable that the emancipation of women has progressed most in very secularized societies. God is supporting this. And I refer to previous blogs, where God is making a difference between Form and Content and is stating that Sacred Books are only guidelines, no codes of law. Without Enlightenment, without the Declaration of the Rights of Man, without the United Nations as the guardian of a new morality, without secular institutions without science you would have a misogynistic world. Be aware of the fact that exactly these institutions are designed and encouraged and helped by God. Sometimes even more than religions.
• The future: misogyny has had its day and will disappear in the future. Your world will only florish among cosmic, spiritual people, when the equality between women and men has been established fully on earth. And this time is closer than you think, even if this will ghappen unwillingly. But that is a topic for another blog.

 

My blessings to you all

God doesn't like the concepts of guilt, sin and penance

Can You comment on guilt and sin and penance, familiar concepts in christian churches?

God doesn't like the concepts of guilt, sin and penance. The orthodox cCtholic church and the orthodox protestants really have blown this theme out of proportion. Jesus has accepted His path of suffering as a fact of reality. And as a consequence of the cruel conditions in those times. The most important issue is He has fulfilled His mission: He has created a new, large and strong energetic portal to heaven through His Presence on Earth.

This portal between heavenly and earthy affairs allows personalities to open up more and gain easier access to the spiritual world. This has been confirmed by The Holy Spirit at Whitsuntide.
Therefore Jesus Christ is the Lord of Love and Lord of the Earth, for by living His Life He has gained the upper hand against the earthbound, sometimes negative forces. The personal aspect of all these defiled forces are called the apes of God.

But this is subject for another blog.

Nevertheless the Christian churches do have a good point: it is a great accomplishment from Our perspective to identify your life on Earth with the suffering of Christ and the deep sorrow of the Mother. For their mission was a glorious one, however not an easy one. And in the heavenly realms the role, the courage and the suffering of the woman, the mother as the strong element behind the screens is certainly very estimated.

God is happy the Female Element is regaining her well deserved position back in many societies in this time. Again a subject for another blog.

Related to the concepts of sin, guilt, penance and suffering God prefers to call it repenters rather than sinners, mistakes rather than guilt, readressing rather than penance and hard work rather than selfdenial, and sacrifice rather than suffering.

Nevertheless one needs to "look one another fair and square in the eye" for when the earthly personality is prepared to travel all the way back, towards God than all fascination, addictions and attachments need to disappear. They must at least become secondary in importance and God has to become of primary importance. Not because God wants to, but because realizing this is essental for living in Truth. For God is your One and Only, the Only One, the Cause, your Destination, your Source, your Future, your Tranquillity, your Happiness, there is no other way.

My blessings to you all
