Gloria to God:

Dear God, during the night's sleep, refrains from the musical Godspell kept going through my mind, and it was lovely. I could see how valuable it is to have such things going through my mind, and how debilitating it must be to have less positive things stirring around there.

God:

It is like scenery. Good to have beauty in your view. Songs are played again and again in the mind along with pictures. But even in chaos, there is the beauty to be seen. Someone's kindness. Someone's eyes.

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 320:
"My Father gives all power unto me. What [the son] wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done. [The son's] holy will can never be denied because his Father shines upon his mind…I am he to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power of my Father's Will abides."

Gloria:

Two things for me from this quotation, dear Father. 1. How wonderful it would be if I could always feel that Your attributes are mine. 2. You and Christ have become fuzzy in my mind, and this selection clarified for me that You are the Creator, Christ is the Redeemer. Therefore, I am a redeemer.

God:

If you must identify, that is how to do it.

Gloria:

Then what is Mother Divine?

God:

Think of Mother Divine as the essence of God and man seen from a different angle.

If God and Christ are in front of you, Mother Divine rather surrounds.

Or, you could say that I pay for the house, Mother Divine puts in the fine touches, and Christ dwells in it.

But all of this is words. And there are no words to express My Divine Creation. Your heart knows. Your heart grasps. You have a sense of all that there is.

Gloria to Mother Divine:

Dear Mother Divine, Essence of God's Creation, Divine Glow-er, what would you like to say?

Mother Divine:

What is there to say? God's Creation is to behold. It is to romp in. It is to discover. And its holiness to be revealed. So, reveal it. Reveal God's holiness in this day.

That is what your light shines: God's holiness.

And God's holiness is before you. It is shined on you as well. It finds you. God's holiness is a spotlight to and from you. God's light is no stranger to any of God's children.

God's light is a flow.

All of creation flows.

It flows in love to love from love. God is love. Christ is. I am. You are.

God's light illuminates. His illumination is all that there is. His illumination shines out from your eyes. It goes into others' eyes. It captures hearts. God's light is like a beautiful echo. It is the Grand Mirror. It caroms. It shines itself with such magnificence that nothing else exists or can be seen.

From all directions. Direction is of the relative and comes from the concept of space. There is no up and down, above, below, side to side, inner outer. There are no variations in truth. There is no going or coming, arriving, departing. There is no upside down or right side up. There is no descension or ascension. There is no underwater or above water.

There is no rain that falls or dry or wet. Or day or night. Or life and death. There is only God.

We are His thoughts, His beautiful thoughts, and He manifested us as if were outer beings, as if we had a life of our own, as if we were not as close to him as thought itself, as if we had way to travel or a distance to cover or a bridge to gap.

As if we ever left His heart and mind.

As if there were anything else but God.

We are the bubbles of His laughter. We are His motion. We are His glance, and His arm rising. We are His compunction.

We are His flowers in the field. He planted us with care, and He watches over us, and He enjoys us. His eyes rest on our beauty, and He picks us from the field by and by to put in His lapel.

And He talks to us, His flowers, and He listens to us. He accedes to us, and we rush into His arms.

God, our Father, God, our Creator, God, our Love, God, our Oneness, God, our Holiness.

And we are His wealth, His treasure, His dreams, Himself made manifest, wrought by His hands of love and His heart of all.

Later…

Gloria to God:

Dear God, I went to the library today to look up literary agents and book publishers and guidelines for book proposals. The guidelines are too complicated for me. I will send out widely to literary agents and publishers. If I don't send HEAVEN out, who is going to do it for You?

God:

Easy does it, Gloria. Simple is good. Take your time. Don't get into a frenzy. Remember to advise yourself as you would a client who was looking for work.

Gloria to Mother Divine:

Dear Mother Divine, what will you tell me tonight?

Mother Divine:

Have a good meditation program. Be easy with yourself. You are doing fine. I love you. God loves you. All is well.
