Gloria to God:
Dear God, here are some questions from Bev. They were asked third party, but clearly are meant for You. She asked several questions all at once, but I am breaking them up and asking them separately.
Bev:
I would love to hear more about what God said yesterday about Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell bringing back "memories of when you walked with Christ". Does that mean we were physically there with him when he was on Earth?
God:
Yes. All Heavenreaders were.
Gloria :
As God comes more and more into our awareness, will we remember these times?
God:
You will certainly remember the feelings. And you will remember beyond memory.
What if you were thirsty all your life, and then found a beautiful clear stream of water and could drink it? You would drink and think, "Ah, this is what it is." Your very cells would remember water and soak it in.
It is not necessary that you remember specific times. But you will pick up where you left off, so to speak. When you hold hands with Christ, you will be aware of Now, and you will know that you have never let go of his hand or stopped hearing the echo of his footsteps.
You will have had a dream that you were without him, and you wake up from that dream.
Christ can only stir what is already inside you.
He pushes the button.
He wakes the sleeping Christ within you, and he nudges it still.
Who wants to play alone? He wants you as much as you want him. And, I, most of all, want you to recognize your brother.
Going back to the Christ's physical time on earth, you may actually remember a picture. My point is that when you have such a memory, it will not matter as much to you as it does now.
I use the word "memory". I mean more of an awakening or reawakening.
There is a beautiful color that you don't remember seeing, and then when you do see it — Oh, the sweet recognition! That is the color you always wanted to see and were meant to!
You lived in a dark cave and saw only shadows of light. You have heard about light, and you had a vague memory of it. When you see the full light of the sun, you know it was yours all the time. You just had to get up and peek. It was always there for you.
Is this full recognition of the sunlight a memory or a present awareness?
What is a memory anyway? A certain structuring of the heart. The mind may or may not recall, but the heart remembers. The aching heart meets what it ached for.
We can say that desire is one side of the ache of memory.
Gloria:
Where exactly does it come from when we feel a deep connection with Mother Divine or Christ? Is it from our deep connection with them or from having actually been with them?
God:
It is all within you, dear Bev.
You have a deep connection. You are actually with them.
Now to your question: Do you feel Christ's sweetness now because you physically walked with him or is it because he exists within you?
When you met the physical Jesus, you felt that same quickening. There never was a first time. It was always.
Because you are in human form, you long for that physicality and absorption in the same sense that many long to see Me in a form, or, the way when one is blind, he wants to touch the wall to make sure it is there.
Christ was no more his body than you are.
You may have actual flashes of memory, especially if they are purposeful.
When I spoke of Gloria's seeing Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell setting off memories — they are not exactly memories. More like reminders. That is the word I want. Reminders.
We could say that those movies were reminders of the future!
Gloria:
I believe Karen would say that You, Mary, and Christ are forms of love.
God:
Karen is right. We are love, and yet we have no form as such, for love is free. Your acquaintance with Our love gives Us a form in your mind because you like form and are comfortable with it. So your heart leans in one way or another on one part of the spectrum or another.
You know that the trinity is One. There is only One.
Some people prefer Me as female. Some as male. And some as that divine human being, incarnate love, that moved the lilies of the field.
Beyond the shade or imagined form of Us is the essence of Us, the same essence that smolders within you.
You could not recognize Us at all unless you had the essence within you which can recognize itself.
Heaven is beyond words, shape, form. The Unbounded is not bounded in Heaven.
Religion does not exist here. Mother Divine is not Western nor Eastern. I do not have a beard nor am I clean-shaven.
What matters is that you come to Me. Come to Me as you will.
If you come to Mother Divine or Mary, you come to Me.
If you come to Christ or Buddha, you come to Me.
Come to the unmanifest. Come to the Source of Creation.
Take your rightful place. Come where you belong. Surpass details. Just come.
