Echoes of a Vision of Paradise Volume 3

Deep within us, at the core of who we are, we find a root connection, our capacity to manifest the Creator’s Beauty gradually.

Section 23 Now I Understand

We wonder how a creature can sense the presence of the Creator. Can someone so far removed truly be so near? Is there a way to become cognizant of God’s imprint in His creature, how He makes Himself known and established in heart and mind?

What would happen if that nearness were possible? The answer is found in the following statement, I am aware that I am aware that I can find a clear appearance of God (His Image and Beauty) in my Soul.

What is of importance to realize is the significance of this remark, and to understand how a divine man and a divine woman would translate the effects of such a knowing act. What is of importance is to be fully aware or cognizant of, to perceive, and to say, now I understand! To give reality to such nearness would allow each of us to experience the true significance of the Creator’s Divine Plan for His creatures.

The transition necessary to bring out from within the nearness to God requires us to surrender and expand thus.

Thus, the full, ever-present potential is translated into our capacity to do! We rise to levels of knowing and loving never-before experienced, supporting our human experience, and liberating us all from ignorance and the mismanagement of our energies. Our individual minds, unhindered by the effects of corrupt desires, become fully functional and evince powers and abilities we may now only dream of. The ability to materialize our hearts’ desires and heal the occasional hiccup on the road of existence, in being engineers and doctors of reality (led by God’s Will and Desire), becomes possible. We can communicate without the need of physical instruments polluting and cross-contaminating our lives. We understand life and all of its diverse components, and reach levels of cooperation now hindered by our lack of awareness. Human relations change dramatically, as the flow of information based on mutual trust and sincerity creates the pathway for advancement and mutual benefit. War, famine, extremes of poverty and wealth, cease and give way to a new level of collective understanding maturing everywhere into a social system bonded by the Love and Knowledge of the Creator.

Experience a shift of attention away from perceived external dependencies towards an inner sanctum filled with richness—the emptiness we perceive and feel exists only because we have yet to realize that the Source of everything that is, will manifest.

Melding

When you went to God and back, Motionless, you brought An indescribable Feeling—every particle of me Wrapped warm like the most holy baby Must have been, smiling Like your eyes when mine dwell inside; Just for a second we laugh, Aware that we are aware, Past all odds, Of God’s Presence.

To realize and thus Know and understand comes from a shift in how we treat our inner Selves, a change of heart—our core and essence, the coming to Know and understand that we were created to manifest the Creator—our attributes manifest and attest to that station!

Such is the gift from God to us, if we begin to love Him. This love for God must be followed by our acts of justice towards everyone and everything. To love God and to be just are the two most basic principles adorning the human frame, and essential in all relationships with our Selves and each other. It is imperative that we accomplish a degree of purity in our intentions and a gracious stand in our attitude towards all life.

To know and to love our Creator begins the road of reunion with our most Beloved.

God, our most Beloved companion, is found within each one of us. This discovery alone shifts our state of being as (human) Soul-possessing Spirit (gated and modulated carrier) beings (of light), by bringing familiarity with enlightenment and the divine Love of God together as an integral experience that makes real our awareness of who we truly are: manifestations of a Creator.

A change of heart, a shift at the core of who we are, is also referred to as Self-remembering!

This act of cognition alone transforms this bare rock, known as Planet Earth, into Paradise! This realization infuses each of us with the complementing understanding that allows perception of the whole of Creation, its purpose and significance. It gives each of us a sense of direction which helps us have a global framework which we all relate to in our pursuit of service.

Knowing and loving God procures fulfillment, contentment, and happiness, commodities seldom experienced, and yet at the foundation of a Divine Civilization.

These shifts that bring about change within, take place outside time, space, and energies.

Lifted

The Tree rises and spreads like a sycamore, Rooting me down into the Earth, Stretching me upwards, until I Spread wide enough to enclose Your Spirit, white and radiant within My trunk. You stand and stretch out, Playfully, every part of you Making me laugh, transforming me To be your mirror, two Spirits Beings Tumbling like a couple kids In rose petals of light As we kiss and caress until— Imperceptibly quick—we overlay Our physical forms, bringing Depth to love as if God

You are here one moment and the next you are there...

In His Infinite Grace, Loving Himself so much, Allows His lovers to be used To love each other With His Heart, His Eyes Shining with the Wisdom Of His Compassionate, Irresistible Mind.

Let it be known that mind and intelligence are found throughout creation.

An individual mind and intelligence, whether at the cellular level, alone, or as an organism of life, and within each species of plant, animal, or human, is organized within a system of localities that grows into a cluster of intelligent life, further organized in a regional system of intelligent life—all a single organism of life we think of as the Earth.

Pray to awaken and remember your (Higher) Self...

One planet is a unit of intelligent life and mind, with endless sub-levels nested and enfolded throughout: myriads of species, each grouped regionally with their own intelligent systems, down through clusters and localities with their own individual, component, intelligent members.

The Earth, too, conforms to a similar mind and intelligent system; as local planetary intelligent systems within a galaxy are realized, they grow into groups or clusters of mind and intelligent systems; these in turn form regions within a galaxy of mind and intelligent systems; these are also thought of as local galaxies of mind and intelligent systems, grouped into clusters and regions that evolve into a universal mind and intelligent system. This universal system in turn gives rise to local universes of mind and intelligent systems, grouped into universal clusters of mind and intelligent systems, in turn forming regions of universal mind and intelligence that come together as one Reality, one of many Divine Worlds upon Worlds. This is the Creation within the Supernal Mind and Intelligence of the Great Mystery, the Unknowable Essence we call God or Creator.

We exist as a continually growing system that integrates and brings about an understanding of the Whole—a combination of interrelated, interacting intelligence designed to work as a coherent entity.

The Ancient Traveler is a title of the Manifestation of God.
