God's Gracious Gifts

Freedom

I know it’s nothing less than this…

And OH… how Heavenly the bliss!

You could never let me down…

Or look upon me with a frown!

I’ll be the best that I can be…

My life is yours… my soul is free…

Too short the journeys of this life…

Chock full of worry, toil and strife!

So often late… our lessons learned…

We recoil… our fingers burned!

To recognize… our immortality,

Will take our souls from jeopardy!

Please don’t wait until the end…

It’s not too late… your Love to send!

Peace shines forth for all to see…

The Love of God... will set you free!

FREEDOM is the main purpose for God's Gracious Gifts!  

Freedom for your Body, Mind and Spirit! 

Freedom when you discover and uncover your gifts!

The awakening to the astonishing wonderment that, YES,

"There ARE more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than man has ever dreamt!

...William Shakesphere" 

This could say..."God talks to you, all the time"!  I assume you wouldn't be here if you weren't at least curious... a little bit!  When I was 24, a few years before I had my spiritual awakening, I discovered there "Really was a God"!  It came about after the death of the dearest soul I had ever known on this earth plane.  I was in deepest sorrow, but at the same time, I was beyond ecstatic, with my discovery that there really was a God!  It happened, instantly, after I said, "God, I have pretty well messed things up in my life...I want only to do your will... always in every way!"  That was when I discovered God was really there...you see most people try to make deals with God, They say, "God, if you do this, I will do this"...I am here to testify that it doesn't work that way.  God knows our hearts and minds and what we want and need, better than we do... and the moment we truly realize this and have Faith that His will is truly the best and only way, then you too will discover that God truly exists.  It is all about Faith...and having the courage to step out in that faith...sometimes we can only make the leap of faith when we get to our lowest point.  Our egos stand in the way...we think we know what is best for our selves... Until one day...Oops!  ...we discover that we are in Earth School and the Lessons have already begun!

The most important thing I can tell you, is that God talks to us all the time, through every media: books, movies, TV, a stranger, a synchronicities, children... I have come to feel that is the meaning behind Jesus's words when he said: "Let them who have ears, listen and those who have eyes, see."  Forty years later I am still discovering and learning about God. 

I can't say enough about this amazing book: 
website:  www.keysofenoch.org
The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch^®is a textbook that states the issues of the future in spiritual and scientific prose. The Keys examine the puzzles of life and give a spiritual explanation as to why we exist in this reality. In essence, it provides both the scenario of an ongoing past/present/future cosmology and a blueprint for a new direction in humankind's evolution into a higher state of consciousness.

The Keys of Enoch^®teaches us that a greater unity can and must occur between the scientific and spiritual pathways in order for the problems of Earth to be solved. Its ultimate purpose is the advancement of humanity, with the goal of changing our orientation so that we are prepared for a higher spiritual attunement and a quantum shift that will move humanity and the earth forward into the next step in our evolution. In this process an ultimate interaction is foretold, as we discover "greater families of intelligence in the universe who share the same Higher Evolution and the same Divine Source."

The text is a multi-level process of instruction whereby the reader acquires the ability to work with mental pictures, sacred language, and consciousness expansion through which an actual transformation takes place, with the recognition that life is a process of experiencing multidimensional worlds. The text explains how we can discover God's Manifestation as it emanates Higher positive Thought-Forms and mathematical Rhythms of Light and Vibrations, and shows how all Higher Thought-Forms work with the vibrations of Light-waves in a harmonious coordination of collective — not independent —"pathways" that bring us to a deeper connection with the Living God.

The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch^® was the first book to point out the alignment between the Great Pyramid and the constellation of Orion. It was also the first book to show the direct relationship between DNA coding and the Divine Name. Additionally, The Keys describe the Divine Genetic Code within the human body that will prepare humankind for new vistas of life within the surrounding Higher Evolution, using aspects of the identical central genetic-light information for light transformation.

The Keys are, collectively, a CODE BOOK that explains how the Divine is extended and manifested through higher Thought-Forms that unfold throughout all realms of life. It should be pointed out that this text was not "channeled" but given to the author in direct face-to-face experience with two beings of Higher Superluminal Intelligence. Therefore, these Keys provide us with a great preparation, not only for the grand unification of the material realm, but for the ascension from the material and meta-material realms into the consciousness and spiritual realms of higher creation. Ultimately, the text seeks to help us with the complete transformation of our physical and mental skills and Quantum Mind experiences. In this, the mystery of what Christ referred to as "The House of Many Mansions" is no longer a mystery, but an active revelation of meaning in which we are active participants.

The Keys, thus, are a blueprint for the different levels of spiritual consciousness, and provides a "coding" for the understanding of these levels of reality through its intensive study. It challenges us to go beyond the ordinary three-dimensional thinking of our rational intellect, in order to accept it supra-rationally. More importantly, The Keys tell us that we are all experiential beings with free will. It is the acceptance and integration of our Higher Self with the spark of the Divine, in conjunction with the energy field which brings forth the knowledge of the true science of Life, that will enable each and all of us together to make the quantum leap.

For hope and faith are living--living--things! Thus hope springs anew with the growth and the knowledge and the understanding of the light on the way, and that life indeed is an eternal expression of the love of the Father; and that as it gives the expression through the individuality of each and every soul as it comes in material manifestation by the weaknesses, we find the strength in the Lord--and in the glories ever in His beauteous purpose with each soul; that purpose that ye might be the companions, one with Him.

I received a message from Spirit through a dream in 1980's.  I saw sand dunes and heard the words, "Time is an illusion".  I immediately wrote this down upon awakening and drew a picture of sand dunes so that I would not forget.   I saw this message today, many years later...

Time is like Smoke and Mirrors

Time is like smoke and mirrors, unreal, imaginary, and yet there seems to be something going on that makes it essential and very real; namely, the sequential passage of events, particularly those that cause the next
one to occur.  So how do you square its appearance with its unreality?
Imagine a line with garments on it hanging out to dry. They blow in the wind, back and forth, as the wind changes. The wind is like time: You notice it when the garments are drying, and you notice the lack of it when the garments hang motionless and you want them to dry.  When you are not attempting to dry clothes you pay the presence or absence of the
wind no attention.
So time seems to be present when you attend to it, and when you do not— where is it?  Children playing have almost no awareness of time; children cleaning and tidying their rooms are inordinately aware of it!
Time is present for you when you are doing something you would rather not be doing, and it drags. When you are doing something enjoyable there is no awareness of it . . . until a clock tells you that you have to start work again!
Time is an elusive concept. People who become unconscious due to sudden illness or accident and then regain consciousness have no idea how long they were unconsciousness. There will be clues in their memory: lying prone on the football field and seeing people looking down at them — in this case, maybe only moments have passed — coming back to
consciousness in a hospital bed; obviously much more time has passed.  But for the one who is unconscious there is no `passage of time'.
Someone going through a near-death-experience may think that he's been `gone' for a considerable time, while for those in the vicinity of the unconscious one, the period of unconsciousness may seem
very brief.
And life in your illusory reality is very much like that. Separation — the illusory reality you made when you attempted to separate yourselves from God — was but a momentary experience and was immediately over. But in the illusion where you appear to be experiencing life, the experience continues for you with all sorts of clues to indicate that this reality is vast and has been developing for billions of years.
You always have guides with you helping you to regain consciousness (like me nudging John!), and when you do regain it, the clues will be present to show you that your unconsciousness lasted but an incredibly short instant, and upon awakening you will have no memories of your `time' in unconcsciousness.
A near-death-experience, on the other hand, is like a brief return to Reality, to remind the one who experiences it how wonderful it is, and to give her the strength to return to the illusion and bring comfort to
others there, until all awaken. All will awaken, and the time taken to do so will be fleeting. So relax, and realize that there is no time, no illusion. There is only Heaven — the divine Reality of which you are momentarily unaware.
With so very much love, Saul.

Paramahansa Yogananda said of God:  "Yes, God is really there...I wouldn't say it was so, if it were not true!  God is very shy, but if you persist and be patient he will show you!"  (I am paraphrasing but the basic truth is there... from one of Yogananda's beautiful cassette tapes before he transitioned.)  His book, "Autobiography of a Yogi" is still a best seller.  Find out more at:  http://www.writespirit.net/authors/paramahansa_yogananda/  and

God is the atmosphere where our essence clarifies, where all

falsity and pretension vanish. Here we are utterly enfolded.

No words are needed; no actions required; for everything is here.

God is the time-circle where all our possibilities unite. In God the

ultimate portraiture of the soul fills out. 

- John O'Donohue

BALANCE is KEY

Cherokee Legend

 

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him an leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it.  He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!

Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. 

On life's journey ...we all are searching for something... Many of us, just don't know what it is... Peace?  Happiness?  Prosperity?  Love?  Freedom?  Whatever your search... It will happen when you find the Light inside of you!  You see it has been there all along! 
                                            

I leave you with these words from The Buddha....

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."  Buddha (536 B.C.-483 B.C.)

Namaste ...   "The Light within Me honors the Light within You"
