Sisters are different flowers from the same garden (Profound sayings, 5)

My God, You have often emphasized women are completely equal to men and every society oppressing and not accepting women does not even deserve to be accepted by the cosmic community.Still, would You like to comment on this saying a little bit more?

I love to.

Sisters are other flowers from the same garden

That does not look like a profound saying at all. But it is.

Because the picture that has been evoked has profound aspects.

·        First of all I will address the word sister. I will not take this literally. So it is not about brothers and sisters from a family, but figuratively the women are sisters of the men, their brothers. But actually this means that men and women are all brothers and sisters of each other, and does this not imply: all are sons and daughters, children of mother earth if you take it earthly, but also of God? It refers to the complete equality of sisters and brothers for all are children. Do parents not always consider their children as equal?

·        The picture of the garden with which mankind is compared indicates that there is something bigger than the flower, mankind, the male sex. The man is a flower. And also the woman. They are part of something bigger, much bigger. And a garden suggests a gardener, actually someone who takes care of the garden. Do you understand where I point to? It is God, of course, who takes care of the garden. And therefore all flowers as well.

·        The woman is another flower. But still a flower. A beautiful plant that is at its peak and blooms. How fond isn’t mankind of flowers? The beauty of mother nature, the most beautiful a plant can produce, her flower. But the flower is also a promise of fertilization and fruit. That is why mankind is compared here with flowers, temporarily splendid highlight of the plant, of the garden, that will tempt for reflecting deeply? For doesn’t the flower suggest something else in terms of beauty, of splendour of colours, of development, of a promise of fruit, of a climax of natural development but also as part of a larger whole, namely of the plant, of the garden. And is that garden itself not part of something much bigger?

·        And then the woman is finally another flower. Not a lesser flower, or a smaller flower, or less colourful flower, no another flower. And the man is thus reduced to his natural proportions, only another flower next to the woman. The other. The woman is another, is the other, is different. But completely present, absolutely unique, absolutely important, totally to accept, integral part of the garden just like the other flower, the man.

It is a profound saying.

The woman is another flower from the same garden

For if you read this, and reread it and read it again, the useless arrogance of the man disappears, the inequality disappears, the oppression disappears, the stupid self-conceit of the male sex disappears, the low self-esteem of women disappears, the insecurity of women disappears, the unjust and indecent and primitive division of mankind in better men and lesser women disappears.

In short, it is a message of justice and love.

Love resides in the here and now and remembers nothing

My good God, I believe that men does not really love themselves, even though they seem to indulge in holidays and luxury and "do your thing". Would You like to comment on this?

 My son, of course, are We not looking into this all together?

The love of God is like the love of a mother. She covers everything with the cloak of love. She forgives and forgets everything and only wants her object of love to be happy. She does not know anymore what has happened before and only wants to love her child. The mother beholds and enjoys her object of love and there is nothing else she sees than a beautiful person, a beautiful being, an almost perfect being, her wonderful child. And she sees the imperfections, but they are only trifles for her. She knows that those trifles make her child into a human being, a real human being, a child to love, to cherish, and almost to idolize.

This is how God looks at man and how beautiful it is when that human being begins to experience that eternal, nothing demanding love.

And it is the mission for every man, every day, so even at the beginning of this new year, to believe this, to hope for this and to experience and feel that love of God for his being. This is how a person comes very close to God.

If he does not do this, like many people, what is there a self-hatred and intolerance and restlessness and coldness in his heart. And that all day long. How will such a person become happy?

Does he do this, giving himself all the love that is there to give, and he loves himself, he cherishes himself, he is loving and tolerant to himself, then God can come very close.

Because then they cherish the same hobby, then they work together for the same job, then they cherish the same love, then they are together perfectly occupied with the same object of their love. And then everything is possible through this love.

Christ and his open-mindedness

My God,
I read the Christmas section of my newspaper “Trouw” and the theme was open-mindedness. And only one article from an intellectualistic reverend about Christ, and that article wasn’t inspiring at all. And especially in this time of the year  I was really a little angry. How open-minded Christ was after all!  Is then for heaven’s sake everyone gradually ignoring Christ and are we becoming atheistic all together? How much crazier are we becoming in this country where half of the people say they do not believe anymore. What a world. Do You find it okay if You will comment this theme open-mindedness and show the world how open-minded Christ himself was?

My good son, let's do that. We're going to show everybody a trick or two. This stubborn naïve country the Netherlands, full of rich, spoiled, self-assertive people, who think they can do without God. And of course We focus as well on the rest of the world.

Christ truly was a son of God, and there was no one more open-minded in his days than he was. For open-mindedness is just being open to everything? And open-mindedness is willing to put aside all prejudices? And open-mindedness is willing to handle against all social patterns and taboos and delusions? And open-mindedness is just willing to stand up to all resistance and aggression and hatred that come your way, if you proclaim a painful truth, and you break down holy houses?

The Christ is the open-mindedness itself and they crucified him for it. He did not die for your sins but was punished for his open-mindedness and for his obedience to his Father. In the meantime he has cleared the way for a bigger gateway to heaven, but that is a subject for another blog.

·       Was there one person on earth at that time who allowed God so in his life and who so openly focused on his "My God"? He went into conversation with his Father every day? No one did this, they had put God away in a distant and unattainable cosmos.

·       Was there one person on earth at that time so emancipated as he was? He saw the oppression of women and honoured his mother and female pupils and showed love and respect to beaten and oppressed women on his path. Nobody did, women had no name and were less than an animal from the perspective of men.

·       Was there one person on earth at that time so loving and respectful to children? At that time a child was nobody, and children were raised rigidly and cruelly.

·       Was there one person on earth at that time willing to question the orthodox doctrines and to oppose the power of the Pharisees? That really did not dare anyone. One was afraid of their hatred and their loveless abuse of power.

·       Was there one person on earth at the time who consistently and lovingly paid attention to the poor, the oppressed, the powerless and the workers and who talked to them in a loving way? Nobody did this, they were regarded as lesser people and scum in the gutter.

·       Was there one person on earth at that time who spoke to the sick and who even touched lepers. No one did this, they were regarded as unclean and untouchable.

·       Was there anyone on earth at the time who questioned the rigid laws of faith and talked to everyone, not just believers, about the love and wisdom of God? No one did that, people were more attached to the many laws and regulations and old-fashioned customs and loveless offerings of innocent animals. And one had no respect for other religions.

 My son, I can fill three pages with more examples. We made our point. Christ was the open-mindedness itself. And it is unworthy of the final editors of your newspaper to not show some respect to the Christ in this special issue.

That is why we have done so. The Watchthegod blogs are not for nothing.
You are blessed for it, My son, and certainly for this subject that you have presented to Me.

My blessings to you all

Man is questioned by life itself (Viktor Frankl)

Ultimately a person should not ask himself "what is the meaning of my life", but realize that he himself is questioned by life

My God, would You like to comment on this?

That’s all right, My son.

The spiritual world knows better than man, that not everything that happens to him is wanted and meant by God. We also have evolution and its own laws, and coincidence, that a person can play a serious part sometimes. So sometimes man comes across something horrible that is not intended, that does not belong to his destiny and that means nothing. Except for this one thing, which makes the spiritual world very very fascinated, namely 'how does this man respond to this fate, what spiritual power does he exhibit?'

Does man react with victimhood, with complaining, with resistance, with negativity and passivity, or does one react with courage, with wisdom, with will power and with confidence? Are people putting the lemons that life present to them aside full of horror or does one make lemonade of them? And the spiritual world does not judge. The human being who swallows concerning “this destiny" in negativity and victimhood is helped and supported in thousands of ways and with much love and patience.

But the courageous wise man, ah, what a joy it is for God to see how such a person approaches life. And how such a person immediately goes to work to make the best of it, to live life, to give wisely and courageously an answer to what happens to him. Actually as the Christ did, with love and with acceptance and with confidence in the Good God.

And thus this man, while still in the midst of misery, has already earned his spurs. Thus Christ could say "Your will will be done", Etty Hillesum could say "I want to undergo the fate of my people".

The weak people are blessed.

The strong people actually even more.

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 terrible regret of an atheist after his physical death

I would like to ask You.
In the course of my life I have learned to gain as a believer a lot of respect for atheists. It is a way of life with many qualities. The easy judgment of believers about atheists is superficial and unjustified.
Well, after all, all judging is wrong so to speak.
Now my question: they do miss the insights and trust provided by a belief in eternal life and when they are deceased, they discover that they have made a mistake and have denied Your existence in their lives. Would You like to comment on this?

I will do so.

Let's describe the life of such a person.
I now consciously present a man, because there are more atheist men than women. Even in emancipated countries, women are listening a little bit more to their intuition, the signals from their hearts and are more capable than men to not just glory on their own minds. But of course there are also many atheist women, that’s for sure.

Before death

We are talking about the true life of an atheist man. He was a good person on earth, someone who looked after his fellow man. He loved his wife, who died years earlier than he did, he has long and sincerely grieved as a widower and at the same time he has picked up the thread of life well. He loved his two children, his work, his hobbies. He was interested in politics and literature and especially concerned with the degradation of nature. He was a champion of the care for nature. I recall this especially for, partly because of this, he passed on to eternal life consciously and quietly so to speak thanks to great achievements in the field of love and care for something other than himself. And it helped that he had no dramatic addictions. Actually a beautiful person.

But be aware of the dog.

We put aside why he has become an avid atheist, that is the subject for another blog, if  ever. But he was an atheist and he relied very much on his own thinking more than on that of others.
We go back to two incidents in his life, two striking moments, which after his death will make a big contribution to his bitter feelings of regret. Because that is the subject of this blog, the regrets after the death of an atheist person.

Incident 1

His wife dies after a long and painful sickbed. The bone cancer caused his wife very severe suffering. When she dies, he sits at her bed and has great grief, he is overwhelmed by her suffering and struggles very much with the thought that she has ceased to exist. He is angry with life and fate. Her suffering was too much for him to handle and it will take years before he has given place to this suffering.

Incident 2

His (their) eldest son finally finds after many years of searching the job of his life and treats his father and sister to a dinner party. The dinner is very nice and the three of them celebrate the love and warmth that is between them and celebrate the joy about the great career opportunity for the son. The father suffers greatly in the absence of his deceased wife and sighs at a certain moment how regrettable it is that their mother can not be present. Both children react with compassion because they do not want to push the atmosphere because of his musing. In general, young people are better in coming to terms with death than older people. And in addition, they both take into account the possibility that their mother will experience it somehow. They are both not ecclesiastical but are no conscious atheists, they believe something.

After death

After his death, the man passes on consciously. His big heart, his love for life, his healthy and beautiful lifestyle without addictions make the passing over almost effortless. And not, as many atheists have to face, ending up in a coma-like existence in which, as if in a dream state, they slowly become accustomed (with much help) to the fact that there is life after death. Because this does not fit into their opinions and is therefore denied. What is man master in not wanting to see what is still there.
This adaptation phase to something that does not fit into their "opinions of life" can take sometimes quite a while.
So our man is very soon clear in the head and deeply deeply deeply surprised as soon as  the most beautiful and younger version of his dear wife stands for him and embraces him with love and with the greatest smile possible. He can handle it anyway because he always had an open heart and an open mind, except for this after death thing.
After some time in which his wife may act as a supervisor and guide, he may look back on the two events mentioned above. This retrospective is very important because he is deeply suffering from intense regret that he denied a so intensely important fact of life,  namely not only the existence of life after death, but even more the existence of God and Its work in man's life. on earth. In order to properly judge his intense feelings of regret and to give them a place, he must experience these important incidents, but then as it really went and not as he thought it was.

Incident 1

He gets it presented in this way.
His wife passes on very consciously, partly through her intense agony, and makes contact with her spiritual coach immediately and without being surprised and is confirmed in almost everything she already expected: a beautiful liberation, a healthy spiritual body, a wonderful new life of space, freedom and happiness and a great sense of the meaning of everything or at least of the even beautiful consequences of this terrible fate at the end of her life. She tries to reach, comfort and support her husband in the entire period afterwards and of course she succeeds very well, only without the man himself realizing this and knowing this.
When he is confronted with how it really went, his suffering and regret are so big that it almost becomes too much for him. He sees all the efforts of his deceased wife and how he neglects, ignores and denies them. He sees the helplessness of his wife when she stands beside him on an evening when he is overwhelmed with grief and loneliness, and experiences such a terrible regret that he did not want and could not experience all of this. It will take him many years in spiritual life before he can look at this stubborn atheistic ignorance without deep shame and with more understanding and love.

Incident 2

On the evening of this dinner, his wife is present in the spirit, shares in their joy and sees that both children do not suffer too much from her absence and somewhere unconsciously feel that she is there. Her absence during the dinner because of her death a long time ago does not really bother them. But her husband. Ah, his pain and sorrow for this delusion that she is not allowed to experience this, while she stands beside him and looks down on him. She touches his forehead with her hand, but this again magnifies his image that his wife, so intensely reminded by this touch, is not there. Physically and emotionally she seems present, but he cherishes his thinking that she is dead and he is suffering very much from this realization.
So in this review after his death he sees the grief in the eyes of his wife, who does everything to make herself known, and sees his rigid and untrue world of thought. His regret is especially overwhelming concerning this incident.

We can complete this gripping and true story. Eventually he overcomes this regret in the spirit, starts seeing that his atheism has brought a lot of good as well and eventually becomes reconciled with everything that has happened. Also with his virulent atheism on earth.

But at times, in eternity, his ignorance and delusional wisdom and the missed opportunity on earth to live together with his wife in the spirit even after her death will overwhelm him now and then. Be let it be, what can not be erased.
He is blessed.

When nothing goes right…..go left (Profound sayings, 3)

My God, would You like to comment on this?

When things do not go well in life, an understandable reaction will be to flee in comforting addictions or to swallow in the negative feelings one has. People do this at the beginning of their path of development.

Wise people, who are a little further, do nothing and undergo everything and wait until better times will come.

There are situations where a fourth way can offer a nice alternative.

That is doing something completely different.

Stepping out of your old pattern, trying something new, stopping being a victim and showing life that life cannot humiliate you, showing unexpected powers, in short trying something completely different. It can help.

And those who try to do so show God that they have a will, that they do not want to be a victim, that they have hope and then one will be helped more than before. We love weak brothers and accept a person's level of development, but We also appreciate the strong fellow man who tries the fourth way. It will bring him / her a lot. It is irrelevant here who has the highest level of development, this person or the wise man.
