Chapter 15.
Hi, God, how are you today?
Simply divine.
Yeah, I guess you would be, wouldn’t you? Although, sometimes it seems you are more like ‘complicated’-ly divine.
Why is that?
I guess it all has to do with this murder topic we’ve discussed. You seem to be saying that murder is not necessarily a sin, and that goes against every religion, every value, I’ve ever been taught. What about ‘Thou shalt not kill’?
‘.....the love of another person’....that is the entire ‘commandment’. Look, Will, I know you find it hard be believe, but all of the ‘ten commandments’ have been drastically altered from their original form. They all come down to two commandments: ‘Love God’, and ‘Love thy neighbor’(which, in actuality are the same commandment’). This is why Jesus was sent–to set things straight. He speaks of these ‘two commandments’ directly in the bible. And even if those commandments were actually the way they were originally in the bible, they were not, are not, followed enough, thus people created too much of a ‘not right’ design by the time Christ came. In either case, merely not sinning would not be enough to balance it. Love would be necessary in either case. Remember, the absence of ‘light’ is ‘dark’, thus the absence of ‘love’ is ‘sin’, whether you ‘don’t kill’, ‘don’t steal’, ‘don’t commit adultery’, or ‘don’t’ whatever. ‘Do’s will balance it, not ‘Don’t’s. If you are in debt (if you ‘o’ too much), then in order to get a balance, you need to collect ‘dues’. The same applies here–to get balance in the grand design, we need to collect ‘do’s. ‘Do’ love, and we will be ‘over’ the debt.....then our journey can be ‘over’, and we can ‘do’ it again. It is long ‘over-do’, you know.
But, how do we know if our killing is ‘right’?–you said before that if it is not out of ‘revenge’ it is ‘right’, but what about abortion? That is not out of ‘revenge’, but you said before it is ‘not right’.
I did not say abortion is ‘not right’.
So, killing unborn babies is ‘right’? How can that possibly be so?
I do it, do I not? How can I forbid you from doing something I also do? That would make me a hypocrite. I told you, it is the reason (or lack of reason) that is ‘not right’, not the act. The reason most women think abortion is ‘right’ is because the Government tells them it is. This stems from the fact that the Government, as well as the population, thinks that they are ‘better’ than the general public. That way of thinking is ‘not right’. The Government also are hypocrites, since they kill, while at the same time telling others not to kill, actually punishing them for it. That is ‘not right’.
And most people believe that God is hypocritical as well, since we associate this behavior with all forms of ‘higher authority’. It is pounded into our heads that we are ‘in your image’, so we think you must be the same as us–unforgiving, thinking you are ‘better’. The Government actually tries to be God.
It doesn’t try to be God, and that is the problem. It tries to be what it believes God is, vengeful, judgmental, and hypocritical, not what I really am, which is love. That is why you are cycling, going in circles, as a society, and not progressing.
Wait! I thought that if we went in circles, then we do progress.
Okay, you are progressing, but in a negative way–‘revolving’ backwards; ’dis’-olving.....’dissolving’ more from your pure, original selves, and from God each year, each day. The opposite of ‘pro’ is ‘con’, and so the opposite of ‘pro’gress is ‘con’gress. Why do you think your Government is called ‘Congress’? They ‘con’tribute to the ‘con’gressing of your race, away from it’s goal.
The ‘president’ sets a bad ‘precedent', then the ‘senate’ will ‘say naught’ to disagree; and the ‘house of representatives’ will ‘re-present’, over and over, the same ‘not right’ stuff the ‘president’ did.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Wow, I really can ‘be God’....you really don’t think you’re ‘better’ than us, do you?
Of course not–in fact, I model myself after you.
You do?!
Yes, and we need ‘do’s, don’t we? I told you that my love for man is as man’s love for the woman. If you re-act, to her re-acting, I’ll re-act to your re-acting.
Let’s not over-‘re-act’, here.....
Why do you think I’ve ‘act’ed re-acting in the past? Why do you think I’ve destroyed the entire human race (but a few), with a flood, and may do so again? I created you so that I may experience, and merely observing is not experiencing. I must copy you in order to experience things I am not–like hate, and revenge, for if all I am is love, then it is not love–it just is. I must follow you, anyway, for you are me–we are together, yet apart.
So, we are all going further and further from the ‘goal’, because of man’s ‘re-acting’?
But, at the same time, getting closer to the goal.
I don’t follow you.
(But I follow you!)....okay...“at the same‘time’”....I’ll use the analogy of a clock. Say ‘man’ is a ‘hand’, and ‘woman’ is your companion ‘hand’–your ‘second’ hand.....
Most women I’ve known have seemed ‘second-hand’.
Both hands are separate, as in a body–they are each ‘some’ part of the clock, yet both are connected–into the ‘sum’ of the clock.....
So, we are quite a ‘hands-sum’ couple!
...for, if the ‘second’ hand ‘revolves’ enough, the ‘first’ hand–the ‘man’ hand, will re-act, and move also. They, literally, work ‘hand-in-hand’. It works the same in the opposite direction.
That’s what I call ‘man-hand’ling our progress!....okay, I’ll stop.
Now, if the ‘man’ hand dis-olves (goes in the backwards direction) enough, the ‘hour’ hand–the hand that is ‘our’s, also will go in the same direction. All are separate, yet all are connected. Why?....because what’s ‘yours’ is ‘ours’, with a ‘y’. So, if you ask ‘y’‘ours’?, the answer is ‘yours’. Have it be ‘yours’, for it doesn’t matter, for we are all connected. I am experiencing, you may say, in a ‘hands-on’ way.
So, how are we getting ‘closer to the goal’?
Because, if you’re at twelve o’clock, and you wish to get to three o’clock, whether you move the hands forward or back, you will reach three o’clock regardless. It may take longer, but you will reach it.
So, it’s all about ‘time’.
Yes!–it’s ‘about time’ you ‘all’–you come together.
Well, if we’re going to ‘reach the goal’ anyway, why does it matter? What’s the hurry?
When you set a goal for yourself, do you not forget about how you felt when you had no goal? Do you not wish to reach the goal as quickly as possible? I am the same way. No, technically there is no hurry–we literally have ‘all the time in the world’, but that does not make it any less frustrating. Imagine you tell a pilot to fly you from Albany to Buffalo–300 miles west, and they decided to go east instead, and the plane traveled very slowly.....you know you would still get to Buffalo, since you’d fly all the way around (cycle around) the world. But, in the beginning of the trip, wouldn’t you cry out for the pilot to turn back?
Maybe I’d just make the best of it, and enjoy the view.
Is that what you believe I should do?
God is asking me for advice?
I am asking what you believe I should do.
What if I said that this is really the devil I’m talking to, and never talk to you again. A lot of what you’ve said, people will say you are the devil.
If you believe I am the voice of the devil, then I will be the voice of the devil. I am speaking of love, that you all should love, and if you think that the devil is saying it, then you will not obey what I say, and you will not love, thus become the devil. That is why belief is so important. When you ‘leave’ someplace, you ‘come’ there, to the same place, because all is circular. In the same manner, when you ‘be’‘leave’ something, you ‘be’‘come’ the same thing, because (and ‘being’cause), what you believe, you re-act to, and your re-acting defines who you become. Then, what you become defines what you believe. It’s still all circular.
So, we’re back here–you’re asking me what I believe you should do.
Yes.
Love. ‘Be’ love; make someone, make all ‘Be’ loved, and, once united, you will be their ‘Beloved’.
Good choice, but can we do it?
God, I hope so.
