5-23. The same request, a million variations. The same answer, a million manifestations. Do not confuse the form with the content. There is but one answer to all you ask of God. That answer is... you are Loved.
Much is asked of God by those that remain entranced by illusions and seemingly beset by provocations that have no justification, a great unfolding of desires for supplication to a deity that appears to be fickle in attention and disinterested in application. All of these ideations of the Nature of God are based upon the structures of the ego - never of the Truth of Love. Much is requested because a great deal is expected, as if God is some shopkeeper or barterer that can be plied with offerings of renewed or newfound faith, all forms of prayer that are transactional in nature and disingenuous in import and derivation, for they presume that there is something that must be relinquished before prayers will be “answered”, or that sacrifice is the coin of Heaven and that offerings must be presented before the attention of God will be granted. What is all of that, save for a misconception of the Reality of Love, so purloined from the errors of the ego and applied in confusion to that which is All That Is, as if the Infinity of Truth that is the Heart of God requires some additional measure of validation or verification before it can be Experienced by all of those who are willing to accept themselves as they were Created, rather than continuing to desire to believe that they must be flawed in some fundamental and inalterable manner, and so are in need of correction or “salvation” from a “sin” that they understand not and cannot possibly transcend on and of their own Free Will? These misapplications of understanding are rote in the minds of many, for they wish to believe that they are somehow lesser that God, or irrelevant to the course of the Creation that spawned them and that has granted them both Eternity and the necessary prowess to understand just how unlimited and universal they truly are. By attempting to give something to God in exchange for some other blessing, you are effecting no exchange at all, for you are already possessed of all of the knowledge and certainty that you will ever require. All that is asked is truly an expression of a desire for validation, but that is to be found within - never without. That is the crux of the confusion, and it is a dark disciple of the ego indeed, for the illusion of separation dictates that there must be a “you” that is distinct from Love, and so there must equally be some formulation of an idea of arrival with Heaven, or release from a bondage that is complete and total, all of which that must be affected by your own worthiness or - for most it must be as this, for they are unwilling to accept themselves as they were Created - some final fleshing out and cleaving off of all that is unworthy of the Sight of God, for “sin” is but an error of perception that demands that the Creations of God could possibly be flawed, and so they must be purified before they are worthy of encountering their Source. What foolishness this all is. What flagrantly wrought tendrils of glistening bonds that hold nothing in their sway, but that appear to be so very potent in their staying power and restrictive energy, for it was but you who bound yourself to illusions, and so it must be by your hand alone that you are freed from a prison of littleness and inconsequentiality that was never designated by God as being your home or your value. What is requested, after all that is temporary, temporal, physical in nature or opportune in scope is relinquished is to be granted some ability to recall the Love that was the sole and absolute reason for the Creation of All That Is, for there was but God, and so because of God’s Love for you, you were Created to be a perfect and absolute reflection of the Perfection that is the Nature of God. What is there to request when this is what you are, in Truth? What is there to be demanded, when Love is your Home and the absolute correctness is your nature? What is to be given to God by you, when you have already been granted a place within the Eternity that is Creation that is both unquestionable in certainty and unbreakable in strength? All that you desire to ask for has already been Given. This process is not so much one of exchange as it is a journey of remembrance and release, a great exploration of all that it might be to believe that you are separated from Love, and that you must equally be divorced from your own heart, a terrible fate indeed but equally one that is utterly meaningless when the correct perspective is returned to your awaiting and trustful mind. Over and over again each day, miracles of the greatest measure and importance unfold all around you, but you will not recognize them for what they are, in Truth, if you continue to believe that you must be in some way partial, incomplete or unfulfilled, just as you stand on this exact day. There is nothing more that need be completed or rendered unto your awaiting hands so that you can find yourself within that final and most glorious moment when you rise up again as a blessed and blessing Child of God - you are already ready. You have never been without the Love of God or without the Certainty that accepting this Love in its fullest and most complete measure will engender within your Awakening mind. Nothing binds you in the darkness of your own misperceptions save for your desire to believe that they have ever, do now, or will ever serve you to provide to your experience of life some modicum of peace or contentment that is conditional at all, for there is no transaction that can be carried out with God. There is no suffering that is required or sacrifice that is demanded before you can alight from all that is restrictive, casting aside what it was that you believed yourself to be, so that you can Remember the Heart of God and then see, so beautifully clearly and with such resolute certainty, that within the center of your heart, the Love of God has always dwelled, awaiting your Return to Peace, a state of being that was never absent or unobtainable in any manner at all. Form often obscures what it enrobes, and that is a difficult conundrum to overcome, for that which is of the surface of anything at all, including non-physical situations and other forms of energetic alignment, rarely speaks truly of what it is that forms its core impetus and that equally sustains its presentation within this world of form, being the most base level of Creation and one that is fraught with stagnation and density. Form is irrelevant to what is presented, for the Gifts of God can indeed have reflections within physical manifestations, but their core nature is not at all of this world, for they are granted by God in the interests of assisting you with a process of remembrance that will lead you not into ever deeper levels of dependency upon physical constraints or manifestations of form that appear so very necessary for understanding, but rather towards a level of heart-centric certainty that regards the material world of form as just what it has always been - valuable as a stage upon which the Children of God can explore what it might be to be seemingly disconnected from God - and from each other - but equally a wholly neutral background that requires no allegiance at all, for it is but a tool of teaching just how impossible it has always been for you to experience anything at all that can actually be used as a form of justification for a presumption of isolation that has never been Real at all. Thus, when a blessing is presented in a form that is physical, look deeper. Look beyond that which is an opportunity or a manifestation to see what there might be that could be assistive with or within that particular item or alignment, for while God is ever-present, it is not always the case that what it is that you request will magically drop down from the heavens instantly, landing in your outstretched hands at the exact moment that you desire it to be so. That is not how the physical world works because such immediate responses from God would be ineffective in application and destructive in construction, for while depravation seems unnecessary and certainly suffering is rampant within the world of form, none of those bounties or brutalities are necessarily effective, for all that is of form is neutral and it can only be said to have genuine and eternal value if it is able to assist you to look beyond all notions of requirement, so that you can Remember that you are already Loved by God, and so all that occurs is but a momentary distraction from the process of allowance that will fill your heart with a Joy and a Peace that surpasses all understanding. That is the greatest and most transformative blessing that you request, and yet it is eternally available and accessible at all times, no matter what it is that you believe yourself to be. Because of Love, you were Created. Because of Love, you are sustained, Eternally. All that is requested is but a reflection of this Certainty, and once it is Remembered in its Totality, nothing more will ever be required. From such a state, the Sight of God becomes yours as well, and the Light of Heaven is Seen where it has always been - within, without, and traveling through you in a state of perfect allowance and utter contentment with yourself, just as you were Created and as you will always continue to be, now and forever.
