>>Also, it is not illogical for risk, light, and love, to form the self contained basis of "I AM", except that light has a rather more visible existence. It excites the optic nerve; but love and risk can also be exciting.>>
Threads like this is where you find more open and truly receptive seekers of individuated truth that's direct and meaningful for the only person that matters - YOU.
I applaud the Lord for guiding your angel/spirit to direct you to take this step without violating your freedom in any way. For it was YOUR choice to start this thread, but the energy, thought and inspiration shared here is not from us - but from spiritual forces that express themselves through us.
This last point is a hard one for any individual to grasp for we've all been affected by the relative/conditional education systems, governments and institutions which are all connected in this ONE big mass which I call "Man's Religion."
We are all taught that all truth, light, energy, goodness and Love is conditional and relative. "You do this and I'll do that, etc." Rule by quid pro quo.
It's like being raised in a dark room in the basement. We are presented with light in the form of flashlights which move, change direction, color, pitch and go off and on DEPENDING on what we do, how we act, etc.
Everywhere individuals turn in this grand EGO-based religious system we find different versions of different Gods competing for favor, energy in this never ending "Master vs. Slave" model with layers and levels and grades and values and a miles and miles of rules, regulations and conditions we must accept and follow, etc.
In the relative/conditional model of light in Man's EGO-based religion we find words like "competition", "division", "separation", "racism" and "right vs. wrong" are given real Wizard of Oz-like power through the perpetual maintenance of these ongoing spin cycle systems that take, define, control and limit the flow of light, energy and love.
It's the glory of man/self taking precendence over the glory of God. And I don't need to define God for that's what Man's Religion feeds off of, by definition - the process of defining, controlling, labelling and limiting that which, by definition is unlimited and can't be defined, controlled and labelled - LOVE.
For Love is not love if there's an "IF" attached to it. Love is unconditional. God loves us REGARDLESS of what we do. He knows the situation we are in. And His providence is always on to seek, find, reform and regenerate those who are willing to be humble, open and receptive to the pure/perfect influx of light, energy and Love that's His Will.
But He's not going to violate our Free Will. There are those individuals who have seen angels and spirits and the like to which I say, "that's fine" but I don't take anything anyone says personally as having any bearing on me. For I AM..... And nothing more needs to be said for anyone of us.
If you want to get these religious-types angry try saying "I AM" in front of them. For that's never acceptable to Man's Religion. Man's Religion only wants you to recognize yourself and your existence as "relative to" and conditionally "dependent upon" their version of the truth, light and energy which - in the end - came from the Divine influx of pure light, energy and Love from the Lord Himself.
Man's Religion of EGO is about saying and beliving "I AM NOT." And the entire system is based on affirming, proving and controlling that this is so. Period.
Try existing apart from control systems in place at work, your place of worship or relative to your local city, state or national government.
The INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT EXIST in this mad, insane world which is by Man, of Man and for Man. It's not of God, by God and for God. Yet God is still the source of ALL light, energy and Love which supports and drives the universe.
Now let's get back to that dark room with all the conditional/relative competing flashlights being weilded by so many adherents of Man's Religion. If you can imagine this thought, then this already exists!!
Here goes...
Imagine there is a light overhead which is ALWAYS ON and which shines on EVERY INDIVIDUAL equally, completely and totally. Just like the sun outside.
Well if you can imagine this then you are already outside the Wizard's Castle. And what happens to the Castle? It simple ceases to exist for you. For it's irrelevent. You have found through simple belief/faith using corespoonding reference with something we can see/feel and confirm in nature - ie. the sun DOES shine on EVERYONE - to conjoin your will to chose and understand.
Dorothy et. all finally found there way out of the Castle and even the Wizard, too. Toto was the metaphor for God - always on, always there, one step ahead, gently guiding/helping and serving but NEVER getting in the way or violating their freedom to chose. Toto pulled the curtain, but it was Dorothy and her friends that chose to understand and act, based on what they saw, heard, etc.
And we ALL have this divinely providential reality to learn more about from day to day. But it does look, act and feel like craziness and chaos from the limited world of ego. And that's exactly what it should look like. And the Lord knows this. He is there, ALWAYS ON, waiting to enter into our minds hearts and souls for an intimate/direct relationship with each one of us.
I am learning something new every day - not because of anything that "I" do, but from the doors and people that the Lord presents to me to learn from in my never-ending process of letting go and living in more and more of the fullness of a life of service and what Swedenborg calls "usefullness" that is full of the energy and purpose that's a purer and purer reflection of His Will.
Peace.
Light!
ONE!
GO!!
