The Big Question

God said:

The question is not so much about: What do I, God, say?

The question is more: To whom do I, God, speak?

I speak to you, whoever you are or are not at this moment or another. We know you are variable. You do not have to be a split personality in order to have more than one identity.

You are a peaceful shepherd, and you are a wild warrior. You are the rose, and you are the daisy. You are the leaf, and you are the tree. You are a mix. You are the Blazing Sun, and you are the Cooling Waters. You are everything you have ever thought of, and yet you are none, for you are greater than any Magnificence of the World You Imagine.

You are finding out who you are. You are finding out for yourself what you are made of. You don't quite cognize what you are made of and the extent of Who You Are. You dance around the issue quite a bit.

The fact is that you do not yet know your name. I know your name. You wait for Me to tell you. Alas, you don't hear Me. You may see My lips move, yet you do not hear.

Your name is in the waves of the waters. Your name is written on the breeze. Your name is proudly in My Heart. You are an exponent of Mine. You do not yet know what We are to each other and what your place is in the world. You have a part to play, and play it you will.

You are called on for Greatness, not paltriness. Open your heart and eyes, and you will see better. You will see farther. You will eclipse the stars.

You are the Founder of the Future of the World. You are the Pioneer, and you are the Settler.

Increase the picture you have of yourself. Knowing who you are is not ego. Ego keeps you from knowing who you are. Ego provides you a poor substitute. Ego is a poor substitute. When you are Greatness, what would you fool around with ego for? What do you think you need ego for?

On one hand, you have a great fortune. On the other hand, you have a bauble. The bauble is shiny. It catches your attention. The bauble is like the Sirens in Greek Mythology. The Sirens distracted the seamen of the time and took them off their course.

What is the attraction of ego really?

It must be that you take ego for gold when it is not even tin.

You hear rain on a tin roof, and you think you may be hearing the music of the spheres and that less than Greatness will make you happy.

Of course, ego dumps you by the side of the road soon enough. Whatever ego delivers, it is a disappointment. Even all the wealth in the world does not give you happiness. It does not give you substance either. It gives you loss. Ego does not add to you. It takes away.

It could be said that you have two choices in life: Falsehood or Truth. Ego is falsehood. Truth does not play tricks before your very eyes.

Ego can look rewarding when you are under its spell. Ego loves to inveigle you. Ego jumps for joy to take you down the garden path and leave you there to find your own desolate way out. Ego leaves you holding the bag. This is what ego is good at. This is your ego, you understand. The ego that misplaces you is your very own. Ego is not a good pet to keep.

Come over to Truth. Stuffy ego will move out of your way. You don't have to fight ego. You don't have to vanquish ego. Simply leave it. Step over it and keep going. I will appear before you before you can say Jack Rabbit.

Choose, Truth or ego. This is a no-brainer. Real gold or tin?

Truth Please and Thank You!!

It is no surprise that we sometimes choose ego over truth. Ego is a trickster. Ego often wears disguises and can be quite difficult to recognize.

Thank God for always patiently pointing us to the Truth!

God said:

You like a new start. Oh, how you like a new start. You would like to throw off all the old trappings and start anew. That is what I desire for you as well. Throw off the trappings of the past and re-emerge into life as you desire it, fresh, new, untrammeled, eager, buoyant, fun-loving.

Why not have a life of love and fun? Why not make everyone you meet happy? Why not engender smiles and laughter?

Consider that you wake up each morning anew. Fresh from a spin in Heaven, you are jaunty as you set off on your day. Consider that you have a one day's assignment, to laugh and create joy. Just for this one day. Will you lighten the load you have been carrying and everyone else's too?

All on Earth is a reverberation of what goes on in the Human mind. Vagrant thoughts command you. You already know the thoughts that assail you. Replace them.

When thoughts are so powerful, can you not believe that they can and will transform the world?

What volcanoes would erupt when there are no volcanoes within you? What war would there be when you have no warring within yourself? It is your Self that you fight. You fight the goodness and mercy within you, and you choose ego instead. Have you not?

You chose ego the same way you might impulsively buy a shiny object displayed on a counter top in front of you and you didn't buy an exquisite emerald encased in a silken box. You didn't see it. You didn't bother to look. You were in a hurry. In another moment, you could have seen it, could have purchased it at the same price, but you were hasty. And so you held the shiny object of ego before you and thought you had made a good deal. Its shine wore off soon enough.

Now look a little further and deeper in life.

Cast no stones means to put no obstacles to love before you. Love instead. And that is how you have joy. And that is how you start a new day. The past is a wave of the ocean. Where is it now? You cannot find it. New waves of the ocean are before you, and you dive in to find an enchanted world where everything is new and nothing remains and no shadows are cast.

Leave the emotional pond you have been wading in. Enter this beautiful ocean of today. It is eager to bear you across itself to a new land of Joyousness. This land is also known as Peace. It is also known as Love, Love so still and so vibrant that it encompasses everything, the past, the present, the future and everything.
