Loneliness can induce purification

My friend Merel also has a line up to the spiritual world and heard on a good day, when she was musing about her life and her being alone so often: "Loneliness can lead to purification". Would You like to comment on this? 

That's what I like to do. 

She has been alone a lot during that period and that can be hard to come by, because man is not made to be alone. But her My God whispered to her this sentence and that was also a comfort to her.  

 

For how can man come to himself, to his heart, to God when there are crowds all day long and people and sounds outside distracting from what’s happening in the inner world?

How can the sound of silence, the gentle hints of the inner self, the inner-ish voice of God be perceived otherwise than in solitude?

Didn't you for the first time in the same way only hear me in a big moment of desolation? 

Man can find God in the other, but really accomplish the subtle communication with God only well in being alone.  This contact with God is one of the aspects of purification. The other aspects are subject for another blog. 

Merel is blessed.

God, who comes to rest in man (W.H. Auden)

 I read a poem by W.H. Auden, "At Schrafft"'and 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

At the end of that blog (check blog label W.H. Auden) you said; 

God, Who comes to rest in man. This is worth a separate blog, My son.

You then responded to this poem by Auden, Would You like to comment on this now?  

That's what I like to do. Commenting the sentence “God who comes to rest in man”. 

 

God works on the evolution of planets, plant species, animal species and of the intelligent being, man, who becomes the crowning glory of creation. A being who finally consciously and passionately will kneel before God and then recognizes what God has accomplished.  

 

God who waits so many years for this moment, and labours, and tries, and gives, and hopes, and beckons, and bestows and loves and searches for man.  

 

And then there is that man, however void and unsightly, who kneels before God and focuses on God and recognizes God and only then lives in truth at that beautiful and scarce moment.  

 

And then God visits this man.

And God can then rest in a certain way in the sanctuary of man.

And God gets recognition of Its work and knows that it has been accomplished, and that is so together with man. Everything is so accomplished, everything that has been sought for has been achieved. For a moment there is the Kingdom of God on earth. For a moment, creation has come to its senses. For a moment, God can rest and enjoy. Yes in the temple of man, built by man, reached by man, desired by man, and visited by God.

That's where God can rest.

Mother Nature's spectacular sacrifice

My God, I want to ask You.

Again about Mother Nature, about what is happening on earth now. 

It is utterly terrible and hopeless what is happening in nature, at the hands of mankind. I don't even have the appetite to mention it because it's been mentioned so many times in all sorts of blogs. But I mean, of course, the total pollution and destruction and the massively propagating destructive mankind. I'm sorry I've been a bit of a misanthrope lately. My burning question now is, "How does Mother Nature stand as a spiritual greatness in the face of all this. 

I know your question stems from feeling sorry for Mother Nature. Don't have that, my good son, because then you make Her small and human and victimized, and she's not. But I like to answer your question. 

She is a wonderful force and of great power, Mother Nature. She is a Spirit of incredible beauty and strength, and one of the main powers on earth. This age-old wise and patient spirit that works longer than you realize on the growth and flowering of nature on this lonely planet, knows of it all. And she's not surprised, she's patient. She sacrifices herself these last five hundred years and the centuries to come, and undergoes mankind and her works. She is in this all not a victim, but willingly and deliberately participating in the demise of her current rich state. She sacrifices herself because, while she cooperates with joy, she knows about the phase after. Now there is the phase of a mass birth of new spiritual beings who, as evolutionary monkeys, in Her bosom, may acquire eternity. It's an act of pure love. And She serves God and the planned harvest of billions of new evolutionary beings. That's one aspect of her decisiveness. Know, My son, that She is doing all this out of pure love for God and Its darling, man.

But there's more. Although She sacrifices Herself, seeing thousands of plant and animal species lost on earth for which She has worked for millions of years. And She is witnessing one of the greatest pollutions in the history of the earth.  But know that this is not the first Total Pollution. There have been devastating pollutions before, and not caused by mankind, and the evolution of the earth has already caused a great deal with heat waves, tidal waves or volcanic eruptions. This is the normal price of evolution on a planet.

But there is another side to the story that fits 100% into the "self-interest" of Mother Nature. This sacrifice now, this act of love, is always grandiosely rewarded by God. And Mother Nature knows this. She will create out of destruction a new nature, of such incredible beauty, you cannot realize that. This new nature will be accompanied by an explosion of new plant and animal species, literally at a higher level of energy than the current species. The species will be more refined, eat each other less and radiate more spiritual beauty. And so these new species themselves with Mother Nature will come closer to the paradise state of the spiritual world. For in the end, the Earth must become a planet of Light and Love with the highest energetic radiance possible on an evolutionary planet.

Perhaps I should give examples of  more “sophisticated” species? And know that I do so with the utmost love and respect without judgment of any kind about any species. Think of a palm tree compared to a beech tree.

Think of a grass compared to a rose.  

Think of a Tyrannosaurus Rex compared to a hummingbird.

Think of a path compared to a bird of paradise.

Think of a hyena compared to a fallow deer.

In other words, Mother Nature will use this total destruction as an instrument in her spiritual development towards a perfect world of Life in which no one or nothing will be eaten by each other. That is the state of a planet of Light and Love.  And in the meantime, she is looking forward to all her physical creations, the past and the present and the future. In Her eyes this all is a timeless and total explosion of life and love, in the name of God. 

My blessings to you all

The love of God is enough

I am so busy and have so many people with problems around me that I , that’s how I feel it, let myself be walked all over lately. I have got a touch of the flu and one evening I am really afraid that I will be struck down by a severe flu, all the signs are there and all the symptoms too. Just before I get caught by a flu, I am always really down. In short, I don't feel up to life anymore and I sigh to God: `Oh my God, please don't let me get sick, I have to do so much at work and will really harm people when I call in sick, please please please don't let me get sick and give me some perspective because I don't feel up to anything at all anymore. `

You don't get sick. Do not worry.

After a mediocre night and an intensive day at work, I actually feel pretty good next evening, everything worked out on the day and I really feel more pleasure for life. I thank I thank I thank the good God that my prayer was answered.

My good son, you suffer a lot for Me, you carry many burdens of others on your shoulders. You are an advocate for many in the spiritual world who are stuck in old patterns and need your prayer from the earth. I saved you from a bad flu. You earned this.

But my God, how is this possible? I make so many mistakes and so many things don't work. And I'm so messed up with praying and with immoderate living. And I'm burdened by all those thoughts that jump around in a million ways. I don't find myself very inspiring. It's just not enough.

My good son, My love is there for your life. My love is there for your efforts. For your goodwill, for your compassion for others. My love is there for your shortcomings and imperfections.

Is My love not enough?

I am really touched and I thank God thank God thank God. I feel the love, for my whole being, without having to do anything, learn anything, perform anything.

Be blessed, my good son.

Mankind, stop reproducing

Would You like to comment on the following quotes from Patricia MacCormack (The Ahuman Manifesto *)?

 “Nothing strains the earth more than human reproduction. That is why it is time to think about other earthlings ”

And

“All I suggest is that we as a human species should stop reproducing. My wish comes from compassion. Compassion with the earth, and the earthlings. Also compassion for mankind ”

And so it is. Her remark that it is “time to think of other earthlings by not reproducing at all” is of course for her more a philosophical than a political manifesto. She does not advocate a totalitarian state in which reproduction is prohibited.

Man is indeed engaged in a thousand ways with the other earthlings. Which person on earth is not concerned with a garden, a beautiful tree, a river nearby or pollution?

But mankind as a whole has become an all-destroying, all-controlling, and all-wiping out earthling. And mankind propagates and grows and burdens the other earthlings such as the plant and animal world to such an extent that this cannot continue. And mankind is not intervening thoroughly enough.

That is why she argues for a very thorough end to this. And no more massive and excessive reproduction is a very reasonable wish. The fact that she receives so much criticism has more to do with being “an old school Gothic” and her touching one of the greatest taboos in mankind than with the reasonableness of her suggestions.

And as said before, because mankind is not working hard enough on this, Mother Nature will take on the correction.

Patricia MacCormack is blessed.

Mankind for itself is the biggest outbreak ever

My God, I would like to return to the subject of viruses. I have just read David Quammen's book, Zoonosis, and I am actually baffled by what information he provides the reader on all scientific studies of zoonosis, the transfer of viruses and bacteria, as we speak from animals to humans.

There are a number of important phenomena that he describes, I will only mention a few, I am not going to do a book review here, of course, I choose what touched me or particularly struck me the most.

The plant, animal and human worlds are carriers of thousands of bacteria and viruses. And many are innocent or so deadly that they kill the carrier quickly and thoroughly, preventing a major outbreak, for the carriers have all died before they can transmit the virus, like Ebola in a remote African village.

And he describes the disturbance of the natural balance in nature, so that viruses and bacteria can suddenly show a major outbreak in the strangest places.

And he mentions the gigantic urge of men to travel and trade, through which viruses and bacteria can end up in the for them strangest places on earth (and get unprecedented new opportunities).

And he refers the huge crowds of people in markets and the trade in dead and live animals (farmed or taken from nature), making the jump from animals to humans so much easier.

He lists them all as conditions for the next major virus outbreak.

Quammen also describes how Sars, HIV, Q fever and dozens of other viruses work, break out on a large scale and are then be fought by man with all their might. Usually it works.

But we know that we are now in the midst of a Corona crisis, the end of which is not yet in sight. He actually predicts already this crisis in 2013, literally he says: (p 196),

If the virus (he's talking about Sars) had kindled another big city (he's talking about Hong Kong) - a more loosely controlled city, full of poor people and without excellent medical facilities - they probably couldn't have controlled this fire and had the virus, spreading like a blazing fire, be spread to a much larger part of mankind (Frenkie: this is my translation, I couldn’t find the English version on the internet and the pagenumber refers to the Dutch translation).

This is all just an introduction to my question. For the most shocking thing I find at the end of his book is his remark that man can actually be considered the greatest outbreak ever in the history of the earth, an all-destroying and predominant outbreak of an unparalleled. And by the way, of course, it fits perfectly with the purpose of his book, says Quammen kind:  “outbreaks are always rigorously and successfully combinated by mother nature with, among other things: viruses that quickly and relentlessly nip in the bud  such an outbreak (until now among animals)”.

Would You like to comment on that word outbreak that he uses for mankind so cherished by You?

I do so, my son.

The spiritual world does not use this word for mankind so cherished by Us. It fully fits indeed the God-made plan for the earth.

But mother nature is also very cherished by Us and We see what mankind is doing now. And We see the dead end that mankind is walking.

Outbreak is a term that is liked by biologists, who love the animal and plant world more than mankind. Man who populates the earth and has overcrowded it for almost two hundred years will cause so much destruction of plant and animal species and the greatest pollution ever of the whole environment.

You find it shocking to use the word outbreak for the excessively growing mankind and We don't find the term very loving.

Having said this, whatever we call it, it will be so. Because in the end it is not about what things are called but what is actually happening. And David Quammen describes the total vulnerability of mankind, the enormous risk of devastating virus outbreaks and the crisis that has barely begun for mankind.

God will receive in love all men who will leave the earth en masse prematurely and mother nature will use the almost complete destruction of her Body for a new explosion of life and variety of species. And then God and mankind and mother nature will contribute to a perfect harmony between mankind and nature. That's how it will go.

David Quammen is blessed for his insights.

Will mankind survive?

I want to ask you. Will mankind survive?

There are so many problems, the environmental pollution, the massive overpopulation. the Corona crisis, the economic consequences of the Corona crisis. Everyone is also so concerned about how we should proceed together? I find so many people so intensely concerned, and no one sees a way out, it seems. Will mankind survive?

And the end of the problems is not yet in sight.

What is your reaction when life becomes too difficult for you, when the problems are overwhelming you, when you no longer know what to do? And you've been through that a few times, My son, so you can speak out of experience. What did you do in those moments of crisis?

Ah, I already know to what you are referring to.

I underwent everything. I was living in the here and now. I prayed a lot. I asked you for strength. I was living day by day. I still tried to count my blessings. I tried to guard my inner self, and said to myself: "if you go down, you will be nobody of any use, and neither for yourself." So I tried to put everything into perspective and not let anything make me go crazy, as I called it for myself. Most importantly, I tried to live sober with everything because an excess of food or alcohol didn’t help me at all.

And so will mankind manage. She will make it, even if the difficulties get bigger, if the problems overwhelm mankind, if there seems to be no way out, then mankind will go through it, endure it, will come out of it all even stronger.

Rest assured My son, rest assured, the suffering of the world is not on your shoulders, but on Mine, and everything is happening according to the Plan.

My blessings to you all
