'we're all all right surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.' >> There is this incredible void which we all must overcome. The uncertainly that there IS light. The uncertainty that there is a God who truly loves us and is full of forgiveness and mercy and who will abundantly accept us with all of our faults, bandages, problems and issues. God who is our Father know intimately the pains, suffering and problems we are all up against as we try to make sense of this world we weren't asked to be born into. But His plan is perfect. And each one of us are just as important as the next person or grain of sand. Not to belittle us with the comparison to grains of sand, but we are so special yet in the grand scheme of things we are but dust and must somehow humbly come to grips with this truth as we weigh the possibility and potential of a grand Divine encounter with our Lord. I have received and accepted this grand Divine Encounter with our Lord. And this didn't require proof or claims against Him on my part. Long ago I began this process of listening to my inner voice instead of trying to avoid it or deny it, etc. People can call me crazy, wacky or whatever, but this inner voice is still singing and dancing and playing and guiding me to receive and share more and more and more of this energy, light and Love which has NO LIMITS!! And what's so incredible is that this process is the antithesis of the control models of conditional claims that are embedded in everything and anything that mankind claims "to create." Mankind always wants to know ONE thing: the conditional source of whatever individuals are seeking to share or claim. For if mankind can continue to prove that the truth behind existence is conditional the LIES which support world he's created - which is nothing more than these illusions of claims of control over energy - are safe from being discovered and exposed by the light of truth. For anything mankind claims to create is, by definition, opposed to freedom and light. The source of all Freedom, Light and Truth is from our ONE Lord God in Heaven. And we do not need mediators - me you or others - to experience this. The Good News of the gospell was really so simple. Believe and receive in the Light and Love of our Father in Heaven. Receive the Kingdom of Heaven! Beginning right here! Right now! Thanks for sharing Andy! 119293!!
