Very well written Mystica, so very true. Some people call this connection of Love being in the direct dominion of Love. Where your actions are guided by your love for God and all things. Most people because of shorcomings stay within the first two definitions you mention. Often missing the true experience they are longing for. This could take perhaps many lifetimes, I do feel that this is a very special time , the accelaration process is at its peak. Many people who follow in the footsteps of the Christ and die on the cross or eaten by lions or worse they could see Jesus right next to them, that is why they were not afraid. The secret is that God, Angels, Jesus, Saints and Sages
are always there, it is us that are deaf and blind. My childhood was not very easy and often I would call for God, asking him to show himself to me, then I heard a voice clearly ringing in my ears, "Frank, Frank, why are you looking for me out there" ? I was shocked and I must admit a little afraid, finally I muster the courage to ask, " what do you mean? " You have been looking for me everywhere, he answer ,I have always been by your side, look within you, there you will find me always by your side. I cry because often times I was angry and felt akward in dealing with other human beings. I've learn to see God within all of us ,the flame is there even if you cannot feel it burning within. Mystica you know that looking within for God is not the same as believing in the doctrine of a particular denomination Jesus did not created christianity man did, It should have been called Jesuism, too bad that so many books about the life of Jesus where burned or hidden in the vatican, the secrets are now in the open if you ask the right questions. Secrets kept for thousands of years, it is right in front of our eyes .
