The Whole Terrain of Heaven
Gloria to God:
Dear Father in Heaven, the preciousness of Karen. I have to say it. Thank You for sending her to me and to the others she helps.
God:
This was not random. I shot an arrow, and Mother Divine shot an arrow; we aimed at the same spot. My arrow was you, and Mother Divine's was Karen, and the arrows converged in an infinite point of love. There is nothing unusual here, though it is not common enough. It is natural for humans to meet themselves this way, to meet around a corner, for their eyes to know what they look upon, to know upon Whom their eyes meet in recognition of their Oneness.
A Course in Miracles, Lesson 337:
"My sinlessness protects me from all harm…I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self…and to know I am the Son my Father loves."
Gloria:
So, dear Father, our connection is not tenuous but strong.
God:
It is the only strength. It is named Love. That is connection. That is Oneness. That is what brings us to one another and keeps us there.
Gloria to Mother Divine:
Dear Mother Divine, what would you like to tell me this morning? I almost said Us, meaning God and me.
Mother Divine:
God likes to hear what I say. And He nods His blessing for you, the receiver of life's songs.
Gloria:
Karen worked on me last night, more control issues. She said I need to learn to not use self-control but just to be, not have to be in a role, like mother.
My mother did not have a childhood; she grew up in Russia washing clothes in the river for other people at the age of five etc. And I did not have a childhood because I didn't want to be helpless, and in a sense I became my mother's mother, and then Lauren the same reversal.
Karen led me to where I knew that you were my mother, the God-mother. This made me feel disloyal to my birth mother. Karen said that with this clearing, my mother's spirit can move on also. And, of course, you are my mother's mother also.
Anyway, it feels good to think of you as my Heavenly Mother and to call you Mother. You were abstract. I felt your love, but now I feel mine also.
Mother Divine:
Now you feel free. It was for a moment that your mother on earth was your mother, and I have been your mother forever, the same way as God is your Father. Of course, He and I are a Oneness, and Mother and Father are words of earth.
But call me Mother. Let me nurture you as my Heavenly daughter. Bring me yourself, and I will fill you with the love of mother to her child without complication. Pure mother love, flowing like water, like milk, like cream, honoring the God in you.
Gloria:
If I am an eternal being, Mother, then all my lifetimes with birth mothers must have been immaterial. I benefited from them, but I was passed along from one lifetime to another. The true Mother is you. It makes the world's mother/daughter connection between Lauren and me seem unreal. It is nothing. We are two souls presently on earth, seeking your divinity and thus ours. There is no mother/daughter. There are two souls. Lauren may well have been my mother in another lifetime. That physical relationship seems like musical chairs.
Mother Divine:
In your culture, the mother/child union has been exalted, not as servers to God, but as owners of each other. The mother's child. The child's mother.
You are all journeyers. Who came first in a particular lifetime and who came after are details. You journey together. And that is how there are no strangers. Exchange of love, regardless of it is delineated. Love bears no marks. Love is not limited, anymore than you are.
When you see beyond bodies, you know each soul as your own, your beautiful light seemingly in front of you or next to you, but it is all your light, and that is joy.
Gloria:
So you are Universal Mother?
Mother Divine:
I am Universal Mother.
Gloria:
And God is Universal Father.
Mother Divine:
Yes, He is Universal Father.
Gloria:
And you and God are really One.
Mother Divine:
Yes.
Later…
Gloria to God:
Dear Father in Heaven, what should I ask You?
God:
Anything. Whatever you want. Whatever someone else wants. Call Me to you. Say, "God, come over here," and I will come. I am the Ever-Ready Waiter waiting to be called. And even if you do not call Me, I will check in with you often in case there's something you want.
Gloria:
Dear God, I can't even think of anything I want right now that I don't have! I think I am in bliss!
God:
I daresay you will think of something later. Just remember to ask for enough. You can have the whole terrain of Heaven, so don't just ask for lunch money.
Gloria:
Then I will ask for the whole terrain.
God:
And you will have it, and lunch money, and a laptop.
Gloria:
Dear Universal Mother, what will you tell me this evening?
Mother Divine:
I think you want to walk those two little dogs and do you your meditation and then watch Mysteries. And I think that's exactly right. So, without further ado, do that. A walk before meditation is good.
