Dear Gloria,
please re-read the chapter in italics. Is it ... to perpetuate?
In love,

God said:
There is so much in life and in books that you cannot grasp in the palm of your hand, and you may like to philosophize with Me about Life. Oft times you endeavor to change My mind, for you are sure you know more than I do, or you may even question if I know anything at all about how it is in the world for you, a human being.
You may hold strongly to the idea I know nothing and that I seem to perpetuate a kind of fraud on you. Or, if you do not think that way, you may have decided that a friend or someone you've read or heard speak, knows better than I do.
Of course, everything is open to interpretation, yet where does believing in Me have to do with popular opinion or votes and such temporal points of view? Everyone seeks to know himself.
You may feel a necessity to believe in what satisfies your ideas. You may rather believe in karma than responsibility for your own life. You may well believe in guilt over innocence and punishment in the hereafter over peace. You like to believe in what you believe. Something not in line with what you believe may seem like sacrilege or simply something too untenable or inconvenient for you to deal with. In any case, for reason or no reason, you may feel that you or someone in life who holds a strong opinion must know better than God. You may adhere to other views and find My ideas unpalatable.
The only way ideas can change is by themselves. You can't impose new ideas on yourself or depose other ideas from yourself. Breathe deeply now. You don't have to agree with Me. It's okay. It is not My intent to impose beliefs on you. My intent is to bring you closer to Me and, therefore, to live life reaching higher with less struggle, not more. I would love to free you to live your life as you see fit. What does theory really have to do with your living your life?
You may desire to keep your mind as it is, and that is your right and privilege. That your opinion differs or agrees belongs to you. You don't have to match your thinking to Mine. You tend to favor certain ways of thinking you like, and you like to stick to them. This is how it is. I offer My ideas to you. I do not bully you. You are not under obligation to think as I think and to see as I see. After all, I willed you to have Free Will.
On occasion, it seems that you would believe in anything rather than believe in Me and what I say. You may not believe in My existence at all! Everyone has his own picture and grasp of Me and is also free to discard how I see the world in deference to something else. I do not stand on ceremony. I do not look for a performance from you. I look, rather, for a Friendship, a meeting place deeper than belief and differences of opinion, a meeting place where We meet beyond thought and beyond one angle or another. Perhaps We can say beyond politics, as it were. We live together where consciousness grows. Perhaps We can call this a forgotten Garden of Eden where love of itself abounds without a glance as to diversity of thought.
What is Truth is Truth, and Truth is, and Truth is Higher than Thought. Opinions are like colors you love. You have your favorite colors. Whatever We aspire to, We live together in a world in which We wish to create joy and harmony and love rising to meet Oneness forevermore.
When there is Love, where do factions exist?
