Gloria to God:
Dearest God, I don't know what to ask You this morning.
God:
Sit with Me a few moments, and sink into My presence. What do you feel?
Gloria:
Sweetness. Kindness. Intelligence. Settledness. Energy. Love.
God:
All you named are components of love. Now that you feel My love, ask a question.
Gloria:
Dear God, I have a comment. Karen said that it is important that HEAVEN have a web page because there has to be a higher vibration on internet. A high vibration is needed to spread across the air. I think that means apart from content. Or maybe it is the content. No, I don't think so. Similar content could be there without Your heart vibrating in it.
God:
It is My love across the internet and not the words themselves. In everything, it is the love energy that counts and not the word or action of itself. An action may be the same, but the motive it comes from creates a different configuration of energy. Truth energy is needed across the internet. We need a big wave of truth energy introduced and flowing.
Gloria:
This is to balance some of the yuck on internet?
God:
To dissipate its effect. To transcend it. What is on internet is in the air. The consciousness of the world is reflected on the internet.
Gloria:
I think Karen said that communicating on internet is spirit energy.
God:
Well, it is not sound or physical presence!
Gloria:
Is spirit energy the same as spiritual?
God:
Spiritual has a connotation of high. Two spirits connected on internet are on a less dense energy strata than the physical. On the spirit side, looks, dress, and all those things are not issues. What do they matter when two spirits talk to one another?
Gloria:
I think Karen said that actually. Is the information age a higher vibration than the industrial age then?
God:
If you can use the word higher without judgment. One note on the scale is higher than another. Yes, the information age has a faster-beating higher vibration. Instead of gears cranking, it is minds meeting.
Gloria:
Dear God, on another subject, Karen also said, if parents would even ask their children once a day, "How are you feeling?", children would not be so frightened.
God:
Yes.
Gloria:
The other day Karen asked Lauren to ask You to tell her about the river, something about sitting beside the river, and if Lauren couldn't get an answer, for her then to ask to ask You for her. So I am, dear God.
God:
Let Mother Divine answer this.
Mother Divine:
A river in Palestine, perhaps in Canaan during Jesus' time. Lauren bathed there, and the river was a meeting place, and baptisms went on there. Lauren was like a river spirit, much connected to water. Lauren met the man Jesus there and knew what she saw. The river made a music that has never left Lauren's soul. Lauren seeks that music but where it cannot be found.
Lauren denied her truth there at the river. She went with the world. She rejected her awareness of Jesus. She took the world over truth. Now she wants the approbation of the world that she accepted over truth. She wants the world to give her back what she gave. But she has to give it back to herself.
She has already been sanctioned by God. She needs no other's. She needs no confirmation. God confirmed her.
When she accepts God's approval, she will no longer be so attached to the world's recognition, and it will then be heaped upon her. I repeat. When she no longer cares so much about the world's estimation of her, she will have it.
Lauren turned away from her truth, and she is still. It is as if she punishes herself for a past error by turning her head away from God Who follows her and loves her and asks for her company.
Lauren feels unworthy. She settles for too little. She demands a crumb when she can have the whole loaf.
In denying herself she relives her denial of her truth in Jesus' time.
It is one thing to not see the truth. It is another to see the truth and turn away from it.
Lauren scurries for sustenance on the floor of the forest when right above her head are all the treasures she desires.
So, Lauren's lesson is to go for what she wants, enjoy, and on the way know that she is worthy of God and give Him a nod of acceptance rather than resistance.
When Lauren can put her resistant energy to creative energy, she will own the two worlds of earth and Heaven.
Lauren's struggle is internal. She made it, and she can unmake it.
What is so hard for her about saying, "Hello, God." She treats everyone around her with the love of God except herself.
Gloria:
Karen also suggested that she and I were with Lauren.
Mother Divine:
You were. In the same capacity you are now. Urging Lauren to accept her truth. Then she could not. But now she can when she wills.
And your lesson, Gloria, is to give her the freedom to stumble, keep making the same error, until she decides to leave it. You can't move forward for her. Her life is her own to do with as she chooses.
Your life is to do with as you choose. Her life. Your life. Not one and the same. Two lives.
Gloria:
Is stubbornness the same as judgement?
Mother Divine:
A decision is made: "I don't want this. I want that." But then judgment holds on to a position and won't let go of it.
What would happen if Lauren said, "Hello, God", instead of looking away. And what would happen to you if you absolved yourself from responsibility in Lauren's life?
Gloria:
A couple more questions. When Lauren and other people say, "I have to solve this myself; I can't ask someone to help me", I find myself impatient.
Mother Divine:
Why impatient?
Gloria:
Because I think what they say makes no sense. I don't really know what they're thinking. Everyone has to solve his own stuff anyway; no one does it for them, but they don't have to do it without help either. Are they trying to prove something?
Mother Divine:
It could be. But anyway, it's their choice. And that is not why you feel impatient. You feel impatient because someone isn't seeing it the way you do, and you don't know what to say. You are impatient with yourself.
Gloria:
Dear God, I almost forgot to include A Course in Miracles. I thought of it while I was meditating, and I thought to myself that it would be all right to do it tonight, and You agreed, and yet I am compelled to do it now.
God:
You feel devotion-bound.
Gloria:
I'm going to paraphrase some of it:
Who Are the Teachers, continued: How each teacher teaches varies, but the content never varies. The content is that God's Son is guiltless and innocent, and his innocence saves him. The form and teaching aids can be in words or not in words and so on. As for the teacher, "…It does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the Call. He has seen someone else as himself…"
Dear God, I bet You have teachers who don't even know they are.
God:
Yes. You were one. You still don't know who you are. That is all right. You are the diamond that you carry, and you don't even know you are a diamond. Nevertheless, you shine a diamond's light.
The advantage of knowing your diamondness is that you will have more energy for shining; your step will be lighter; you will be more integrated; life will be simpler for you.
You know the words, "You are My child", but you do not yet know what that means. You know that you are a teacher of Me for Me, but you don't know what that means yet either.
The knowing is like the difference between a stowaway on a luxury liner and the holder of a first-class ticket. In your case, you hold a first-class ticket; you can't believe it, so you stowaway.
Having the HEAVEN web page up and running will do a lot for you personally too.
Later…
Gloria to God:
Dear God, I got angry at something today, but at least I realized it was MY anger, and not something outside me.
God:
That's good.
Gloria:
God, Jon called to say how much he enjoys HEAVEN. He feels intoxicated by with Your love, and he made a toast to me — with You!
God:
The energy of Love intoxicates. Yes, be drunk with Me. Lose your balance with Me. I am intoxicated with you. Love Me back. Let the world be intoxicated with My love.
I cost nothing. I take nothing away from the family. I boost your home life. I favor all. Be in bliss with of Me. You are Heavenbound.
Gloria to Mother Divine:
Dear Mother Divine, what do you have to say about this intoxication with God?
Mother Divine:
I say it is beautiful. You are glued to God's love. God's love is glued to you. You swim in God's love. The love is not yours nor Jon's. It is God's, given to you like an elixir from Heaven.
