Stiros, Czymra, thanks for your replies. What comes to me is that we have been genetically conditioned to fear. Throughout many lifetimes we have been kicked the **** out of, so to speak to get rid of our connection to our God Self. We;ve been taught to fear, to not to explore this wonderful realm we live on. We have been taught to be obedient little servants of our lords and masters.
I say to hell with that, the God I Am is PASSIONATE, ALIVE, EQUAL TO ANYTHING AND EVERYONE. I shall explore this realm as my God given right. This God is not boring and compliant. It is wild and free and is our natural heritage. We also are fabulous mirrors to each other celebrating our differences and everyone elses God Given Right of Free Expression. Give me people with the courage of their convictions. Throw out the bloody rules. Yee Hah.
Are you guys getting a sense of where I stand on this
Ive been re-reading Peter Erbe's book God I Am From Tragic to Magic. I will quote a little bit:
"Men and women unafraid of living, true to themselves, radiate a freshness, an attraction that commands, that fires the heart, and the nectar of their words invigorates the soul.
Everything about us is a mirror reflecting ourself. The moment we point a finger at a part in the mirror we only identify it as a part within us, because we are pointing at a reflection of ourself. If we strolled along a crowded side-walk in a city, stepped aside for a moment and pretended we were some visistor from outer space, seeing the human species on Earth for the first time, what would we observe? We would notice a sea of faces passing by, each one obsorbed in its own personal dream - much like sleep-walkers - oblivious to their cosmic destiny and grander purpose. We would be looking at the GODS who suffer amnesia.
Yet, even this state of spiritual stagnation cannot prevent a Son of God from being a perfect mirror to his brother. For if we picked out a face, any - it matters not which one - and let our eyes meet, then for the most transient of moments we would know we are looking at ourself, at just another aspect of our own Being. The One appearing as many. That sacred instant gone, the other becomes a stranger once more. Could we but hold the awareness of that instant and carry it into the day, then pointing a finger at our brother would be inconceivable.
To say: You have done unto me great injustice, you caused me to suffer' indicates our search for happiness outside ourselves. It shall never come this way. 'The Kingdom of Heaven is Within" Archaic words for an eternal Truth. Happiness flows forth from one's own source, the I AM in us, when not denied. Then happiness is reflected back to us through each and everything. Happiness is a choice of every moment. Thus the now moment casts its shadow onto the next now moment, which then, or course, must be a happy one as well.
Let us never, never forget that we are masters of our destiny. No one in all the universes writes our script. We do that, in co-creation with our brothers. As we re-write our script, our brother Must do likewise or leave the stage of our drama, for the shift is Now ( to borrow a term from an ascended master) from Tragic to Magic. For this is all it is - a shift in consciousness. This knowledge calls for responsibility. So we shall respond to our ability to design our next now. We can start by discarding the separtors of our verbiage which are 'Good - bad - better - best'. These divide and slice life into sections, some to be despised - others to be glorified.
So the moment we feel antagonized by someone, let us rather cast our bread upon the waters, which means we spread a consciousness of divine support and as we spread it freely, it returns to us manifold. Ancient Sanskrit tells us: 'Those who sing have songs sung unto them'

Love to you All
