The love of God is bigger than the fuss of man

I was a little bit of downing myself and hadn't done all sorts of things that I normally do such as praying regularly and had done quite a few things that are not good for me related to eating and drinking. I was dissatisfied with myself, and how often am I not? I was laying in bed and said to God "I'm sorry God I'm so busy with nothing. And I think that I am too popular with You, I treat You as if You were a friend of mine, I am often so casual and careless, I think I have no idea of Your Holiness and Greatness and I talk to You as if You live around the corner. And actually I do not want to hear Your answer, so ashamed I will be of what I will hear. You will surely find me again a little loser?" The answer naturally came immediately. 

My dear beloved son, I see all your efforts, all your worries especially about others, I see your good will, I see your hard work, I see how much you do your best. It is certainly true that you have no understanding of My Holiness, and you are very often nonchalant and careless, you do not know with Whom you are dealing with and you certainly treat Me as a friend of yours. Sometimes I have to smile at your carelessness, and then I realize that you don't know with whom you are dealing with. But do know, my dear and beloved son, that I also cherish your closeness and familiarity, am I not as close to you as a friend, am I not in your heart, am I am not more near than your friends and family and don’t I want to be this very close to you and that familiar?
But especially know this one thing 

“My love for you is many times bigger than your regret about yourself”

Feel reassured and feel blessed and desired and highly sought after, My son.

If you forget yourself you become the universe (Hakuin Ekaku)

May I ask You. A good friend of mine sat down and sighed to her God: "I don't want to anymore, I don't belong on earth, please come and get me, I have had enough of it." Then she heard a clear voice say, "Stop wanting, start giving."
Would You like to comment on this?

I love to do so.

“Oh man, how much do you demand from life, how endlessly you are searching for what will make you happy once, and meanwhile life flies away. You hardly appreciate in what a magical world you are living, how you are carried in love and how everything is offered to you. Dissatisfied, short-sighted, superficial and self-centred being. Luckily the spiritual world has endless patience and has an endless love for man.”

Your good and dear friend felt quite put on her place and stopped squeaking and beeping, it was a wake-up call for her.

We would certainly love it when men see beyond their own noses and appreciate more what they have and not are fixated on what they don't have. In that sense, every Spark of God would like to say this to Its human being on earth.

Yet there is much more to be said for it.

It was a sharp and crystal-clear sentence that your female friend received. But there is a nuance, her Spark of God sees that she does her best very hard, she works hard and prays and tries to bother no one with her negative emotions, sees that she endlessly controls herself, and suffers from the destruction of nature and really cries at every tree in her environment that is cut down, necessaryly or unnecessaryly. We like to see her live and We love her. Then why such a sharp and confrontational sentence? Does she live so wrongly? Is she that self-centered? Is she so occupied with her own life?

None of that. Yet she gets to hear this sentence, at that very moment, but a sentence that every person deserves regularly and that all seven billion Sparks of God would like to say to Their man on earth, maybe with some exceptions.

For it is formulated in this way because it is clear language for man, briefly and to the point, clearly formulated and it is an urgent and compelling request. But in spiritual terms this is said:

“Dear beautiful man, you who does your best, and who wants to be happy so much, do know that you are now doing something that does not make you happy, what you pushes down, what makes you small and what makes you childish and gives victim-like feelings and thoughts which are not productive and make you even feel more unhappy. Get out of this negative and destructive attitude, leave the future for what it is, admonish yourself, dear man, do not over-feed your ego with this bullshit and seek thoroughly and rigorously distraction, get out of this emotion and get out of your ego self and look around you. Look at the beauty of life, look at the even greater suffering of a fellow human being and share from your wealth, share your talents, focus on the other and you will soon forget yourself and you will soon feel better, your blood will start flowing again and you will regain energy to pick up the thread of life.

Live again and enjoy together with the other.
And then you are again an adult part of the universe ”.

So I think it is nicely worded by the Spark of God of your female friend: "Stop wanting, start giving".

I could not have said it better to you, My son.
Your female friend is blessed.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans (Tina Turner)

I wanted to ask You, I had to laugh a lot about this quote from Tina Turner. But maybe it is very true. She has been through a lot and she must have said it after she got a new kidney from her younger husband and she was recovering and then unexpectedly her son committed suicide. I have always had great admiration for how strong she seems to be and for how young she is staying and for her talents.

Tina Turner has suffered a lot in life and is still suffering. But she also is getting  everything out of life. With great talents and many opportunities, she has tackled everything. The quote has no trueness in it, of course, My beloved son. God knows your plans and wishes and hidden needs and secret fantasies, how could it be otherwise? Yet what she says is very true, but in a very different way: she actually says "God knows that many of our plans are not realistic, thoughtless, not based on what is intended, or very bad indeed".

And indeed God sees you willing to go in all the wrong directions that you can go, and in itself there is a lot of humour in it, because "who doesn't laugh who beholds man"? The humour is everywhere and you for yourself are all capable of laughing very well at yourself, even in the greatest need ”. And afterwards you often laugh a lot about yourself, about your mistakes, about your ignorance, about your short-sightedness.

And that is why Tina Turner's quote is sparkling and surprising.
May Tina Turner be blessed.

Take a rest and suffer less (Profound sayings 8)

 
Would You like to comment on this?

One of man's greatest ignorances is that he does not rest at difficult or emotional moments. He then makes decisions and draws conclusions and stops with things or people, and thus rigorously and thoughtlessly. Much is going wrong without reason.

And if one would take a moment's rest before deciding, many dead-end roads would be avoided, many injuries would be avoided and much suffering would be lessened.

So be it.

But take rest, take rest and take more rest at weird, intensive and difficult moments. So you will give God and Its helpers the opportunity to reach you and that always leads to more wisdom, more insight and more overview.

In all cases We always love man and accept all of his urges.

A prayer on earth becomes a flower in heaven

My God, I have come across this somewhere but do not remember where, would You like to comment on this?

I will do so.

Just as a plant grows from a seed and flourishes as a highlight (actually the highlight is the fruit that should come from it), so a man grows from a foetus and it is a highlight in human life when he prays. And actually the highlight will be the fruit of his prayer.

But it is pure reality. As a plant grows and blooms and usually dies after flowering. Thus grows man and flourishes in his prayer and then dies a little. The ego ceases to exist when a person prays: the surrender, the trust, the peace that prayer entails kills the ego. And what remains are the fruits, on earth after the flowering of a plant, her fruit, with man after his prayer: peace, trust, surrender, but especially inner peace, and if you could see with spiritual eyes, you saw thus.

A man prays and a flower grows in the place of his heart, and the more intense the prayer and the more selfless, the more beautiful the flower. And when this man arrives in the spiritual world, his spiritual home, the place where he may reside, turns out to be a wealth of flowers, prayed together on earth. For nothing is lost, and everything has consequences, evil deeds and good deeds.

And thus a temporary prayer on earth transforms into an eternal flower in the spiritual world.

Atheism, child of alcohol abuse

I have been drinking more alcohol in the last six months than I am used to and more than I can handle. It’s working not very well in my life, I get tired of it and I immediately notice at the first sip that my contact with God is being blocked. Still I did it, sometimes even a few glasses of wine every day and on the weekend I cached up a whole bottle. Although I know that it is not good for me, I did it anyway, the ease, the temporary comfort, the relaxing of just sitting down with a glass of wine, everything was between my ears, but I did it anyway. The result was that I was less concentrated, I prayed less, I was less able to find peace in myself, I was a little depressed inside and I also saw that my skin and eyes made me look older.

What an impossible behaviour, I was surprised that I did it and despite the fact that someone else did not notice anything and might say "what are you talking about, two glasses a day are okay?" I have my own limit and experience. I did it against my better judgment, I felt worse under it and a few weeks ago I was suddenly fed up with it. I didn't drink at all anymore, felt better every day, didn't miss it so much because there were so many good things in this new attitude, and I noticed that there was a connection between my prayer life and having stopped alcohol.

On the internet I have checked that this is not news.

The Qur'an states that alcohol is the work of the devil and must be avoided. In the Hadith, a book with statements by Mohammed, is mentioned: alcohol is the mother of all evil and is the most shameful of all evil.
The Bible also states that excessive alcohol consumption leads to aggression, poverty, worries, insecurity and insensitivity. That's why the Baptists and Methodists have always rejected it.
Meditation is central to Buddhists. It is important that the body is in a position that is as quiet as possible. A number of nutrients, including alcohol, have an undesirable effect on this body according to this line of thought. Alcohol consumption is therefore not recommended due to the intoxicating effect.
The Rastafari also strongly advise against alcohol.

In general, all religious / philosophical dogmas state that excessive alcohol consumption (alcohol abuse) conflicts with religious and social norms and values.

Is it harder, My God, to get close to You if I choose for alcohol?

Would You like to comment on this?

My son, it was time for you to break through the sliding scale, to be helped with insight and to make new connections.

We have let the demon of the alcohol go its own way, because we wanted you to experience everything that you described above all out of your own free will.
And I'll sharpen it up, here's My answer.

"Atheism in the Western world is a direct consequence of the large-scale alcohol abuse over the centuries"

This has not often been so clearly publicly proclaimed, and I do that now. Gradually, the beautiful Enlightenment and the development of science nourished everyone who had atheistic thoughts. But no one has realized that with every sip of alcohol, with every new intoxication, with every day that people drink heavily and seek comfort and oblivion in alcohol, the demon of the alcohol has gotten more influence. And this powerful demon stands for character deformation, negativity, resentment, hatred, and atheism. Hatred of God, hatred of churches, hatred of faith, hatred of prayer. This demon nourishes all hatred of God and Its servants on earth who can possibly keep man from alcohol.

Thus, spirits, the spirit-rich moisture of alcohol, have become the poor alternative to spirituality in any form.

When man takes a glass of alcohol, he closes the door to God.

If a person is already struggling with faith and wondering what it is all about, the demon of alcohol can give the final blow to the last remnants of faith.
If a person drinks a lot, he becomes cynical, misanthropic and a hater of mankind. And he hates his old friends and family members most, who stand for the bond of love, for trust and perhaps for the former belief that he had. Take a good look around you, a good alcoholic ends up lonely, has destroyed his ties with loved ones and does no longer believe anything. The last thing he still has to do is destroy his body.

And Western society, with its virulent atheism, its empty churches, its over-attachment to its own mind, and openly opting for matter and sex, has become with its excessive alcohol consumption an atheistic society that openly acts against any form of piety. The Muslim women with a headscarf thus become a symbol of precisely what one does not want to see, someone who openly expresses her faith.

The degeneration of these societies can only be stopped by disasters, My son, the power of the demon of alcohol has become too great to be corrected by anything other than in a rude and radical way.

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.
