Gloria to God:
Dear Almighty Father, I am glad You are Almighty!
God:
Love is almighty. It is the power of the world. Force is not. Love in its ease and sweetness is. Love says, "We are One, you and I. You are One with me. No one is opposed. No one stands in front of me nor lags behind. All stand within. You are an image of me as I am an image of God and as you are. If we are reflections of the one God, then we can only be One with Him and therefore, one with one another."
When Christ said, Love your neighbor as yourself, he was saying, "Your neighbor is yourself."
When Christ said, "As you do to the least of my flock, you do to me," he was saying the so-called least were also one with himself and with God.
That is how there is no least or most. That is how there is equality.
That is how there is one flower in all its infinite variations. There is one son that makes up the multitude. There is one heart and one mind, and it is Mine, as you are Mine, as all of the one are Mine.
A Course in Miracles, Lesson 321:
"Father, my freedom is in You alone…I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me… You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last."
Gloria:
God, I would think that following Your Will is freedom from conflict and indecision.
God:
It is following love, Gloria. It is following Truth. It is saying Yes to My Creation and Yes to yourself. Yes, it is saying Yes. Yes to this beautiful unfoldment of life called God. Yes to the weather of the day. Yes to the blessings of God. Yes to Heaven. Yes to yourself, and yes yes yes to delight.
Freedom is picking up your own fortune cookie. Non-freedom is kicking past your own fortune and stumbling over others'.
All the temptations of the world are disappointing because they are not what your heart seeks.
Your heart seeks itself, and it finds it in Me. What am I?
I am love unfurled in your heart.
You are My Heaven. My children are. Bring My Heaven home to Me and sit with Me a while and tell Me the story of your discovery of Me.
Gloria to Mother Divine:
Dear Mother Divine, I want to tell you that the view in my skylight now is the mid-top of a very old oak tree. Behind it is clear blue sky, not a cloud. In certain places, on top of the barren twigged branches, snow is there as though a painter had painted on the white to look like snow. Where the snow rests seems random, and I don't know why I wanted to tell you about this picture framed in by a skylight, but I did.
Mother Divine:
Because it is exquisite beauty, and you wanted to share beauty with me. I accept it.
You forgot to mention the crust of snow on the bottom of the skylight and the uneven soft edging around it of condensation on the glass.
You are peeking out into God's universe via this skylight.
A frame makes the sight even more beautiful than the whole thing without a frame.
If you were outside under all of God's beauty, you might not have noticed these branches or even glanced at them, or, if you had, you might not have drawn a breath of recognition at their beauty.
In creating the world, the picture of the world, for it is only a picture, God framed things, put a body on each soul, created the illusion of parts, so that He and you could see parts and appreciate their beauty, and through the parts, come to see the whole.
Parts have to be put together to see the whole, not taken apart. Similarities have to be looked for, not differences. Or, if you look closely enough, within the part the whole can be seen.
Look at the outer world today in sections demarked by golden frames.
You are a photographer and you take pictures of God's creation at will. You choose the shots and the focus, and that is how you spend your life.
Choose well. Frame your sights with vision. And notice God in every one.
Later…
Gloria to God:
Dearest God, well, Karen called me today and much interesting stuff which I won't go into now. But more releasing of old programming, and it had to be done together so that we keep in sync. Karen said now we are truly one soul, so I am also Lauren's spiritual mother because Karen is!
Karen said it is so rare to find a friendship like ours where we really do care so for the other, want good things for the other, no competing, no envying etc. I feel this tremendous easiness with Karen, and she said that is how it should be with everyone.
She emphasized that what is going on in the physical may not be at all what is going on in the spiritual. She said that Jill had jealousy and envy of me. She also said that my "princess and the pea" image of Jill had been true of me. The other lady's aloofness was a form of control. She said for me to trust my intuition and my feelings.
Also, a being from Thailand answered the little gold bell I gave Karen. This being was someone we had both known in a previous life. I had sent the bell to Karen to be cute, told her to ring it three times and call me if she ever needed anything, but she said I had really sent the bell so that that being could come to us. Then Karen said the being may have been huge parts of ourselves returning. She said we are now truly one soul, and I am glad it is so, and I am glad to have it verified.
So, what do You wish to tell me tonight, dear God?
God:
You have had a lot for one day. So I tell you to do your meditation and have a good supper and a good evening, and we will talk lots more in the morning. I'll be here, and so will you.
