Gloria:
Dear God, I met someone the other day in a store quite by chance. I had the feeling that he is significant in my life. He is a young newlywed; he seems eager to be friends with me. How many 27-year-old's even think of friendship with an older woman? Is this some kind of connection, God?
God:
It is connection. Your soul energy connects. And this is the energy that matters. Age, gender, status and individuality of any kind do not matter in cases like this.
Gloria:
He feels he has some connection with Heaven Ministry, and I feel that too.
God:
More and more will come into your life that is connected with Heaven. That is how I work.
You stumbled onto each other, you think. I put each of you in the path of the other, I know.
Gloria:
For me, with almost everyone, I have to work at friendship, some edge somewhere, some investment, some unclear communication, and with this person, I feel none of that. We could be two breezes that meet. Nothing seems to be carried over. I don't want to make too much of this, and I don't want to get carried away.
God:
Get carried away. Go with it. Something very good here. It has nothing to do with you, Gloria. It has to do with Me. See where it leads your attention.
Gloria:
Dear God, I was talking to a lovely person the other day, but she said some things that made me wonder. She thought that Hitler might have performed a good function in that perhaps he was transforming the consciousness of the Jewish people from greed and materialism to — I forget what. I can accept that there was more going on during that time beyond what any of us could possibly know, but I am distressed by the attributes she assigned to the Jews. I have no patience for statements like that. Also, why might not the purpose of Hitler's reign just as likely have been to transform the Germans from deifying any mortal man so much?
Do You see races, God?
God:
I see My children.
I do not see skin color or nationality.
I see Myself in My children.
I do not see differences.
I do see your longings, but I do not separate My children one from another. One is not superior. None is inferior. Blue eyes are not better than brown. Tall is not better than short. My children manufacture all those ideas and attach a significance to them.
You are right. There are individuals. Some live in one place, some live in another. I see nothing that separates. But, of course, the values of the world are not Mine. I have one value, and that is love.
Gloria:
Thank You.
Not to take the other side, but collective consciousness does exist. The German consciousness is different from the Irish, for example.
God:
Certainly. But all that is concerned with relative matters. My concern is with truth.
Yes, there are different qualities in the relative. Fair skinned; dark-skinned. To Me, all of that is a So What. I see beyond all physical. And that is what you must learn to do.
You must even learn to see beyond what you see as someone's prejudices. You, Gloria, are prejudiced against people who have prejudices. You dismiss prejudiced people. You cast them away. You turn your back on them. You would not turn your back on a child who has not learned to read or write. You would not turn away from a child who is blind or deaf. Why turn away from a child of Mine because of his possible lack in one area or another?
And who are you to say that someone who sees things differently from you is ignorant? The Nazi's inferred that those of a particularly ancestry were inferior to them, My beloved. You seem to think that someone who sees other than you is less. Do you understand what I mean?
Gloria:
Yes. I'm sorry I judge. And I guess I must think it is okay for me to judge based on what I consider important, but for other people to judge based on what they consider important is not okay. So what do I do, dear God?
God:
Give My light. Send My love. Send it to those who think differently from you as well as those who think the same. And give My love to yourself as well. Then what seemed important to you isn't so important anymore.
Do you see how good it is to talk to people who do not think just the way you do? It helps you to know what you think. It helps you to erase boundaries. It helps you become greater. And My children want that very much. All want to be greater.
Know you are greater now than you ever were before. Know that you are learning. What is greatness but going beyond boundaries? You have broken many boundaries. Burst through them all.
Your true nature is boundless.
Be it.
I do not see the boundaries that the world sets.
You don't have to either.
You don't have to give obeisance to them nor do you have to protest them.
Just be My innocent child who follows My love like a mariner who follows the North Star in a moonless night.
I am your stability.
I am your boundlessness.
Never mind the details of My children.
Attend to My vision.
Look through My eyes.
My eyes are open.
Open yours.
Let go of others' mistakes.
Let go of your own.
Come back to Me.
