My pricey buddies…
I used to be in Tokyo a while again speaking about God.
Unimaginable, fantastic, marvelous dialogue. 300-plus within the viewers. Not a one in all them appeared bored, or “out of it.” Everyone was paying rapt consideration. Many requested incisive, necessary questions.
At one level I used to be describing God on this manner:
“God just isn’t a Tremendous Being within the Sky, with the identical proclivities and emotional wants as human beings, together with the necessity for love and for revenge when love is betrayed or not given. God is life’s Important Vitality. You would possibly need to name that vitality Pure Intelligence.
“Intelligence doesn’t care whether or not you consider in It or not. It doesn’t care whether or not you employ It on function or not. When you do use It on function, It doesn’t care how. It makes no judgment about any of this. The truth is, It makes no judgment about something in any respect.
“Pure Intelligence needs nothing, wants nothing, seeks nothing. It merely Is. It exists in a manner that permits Itself for use. It does this, it permits this, it makes this doable, by inserting Itself inside All the things. Wherever you look you’ll discover Pure Intelligence. It’s on the foundation of all issues that exist. Snowflakes mirror Pure Intelligence. The tiniest atoms mirror Pure Intelligence. The largest swath of the night time sky displays Pure Intelligence. The method of life Itself, examined at each stage, displays Pure Intelligence.
“The vitality that I’m right here calling Pure Intelligence can be utilized — is getting used — at each stage of life, by Life Itself. You might be utilizing this vitality, you might be focusing this vitality, each second of each minute of each hour of day by day…often with out figuring out it.
“The truth that this vitality exists, and the best way to focus it, subsequently utilizing it to 1’s private benefit, is what has been referred to as The Secret. A film by that very identify was made a number of years again and is sweeping the world over. This vitality that I’m calling Pure Intelligence, and that I’m telling you about is one other identify for God, and has no opinion about something. That’s as a result of It doesn’t want something. It’s singularly with out want, for the straightforward cause that it’s All the things That Exists in Any Type In any way. This consists of not solely bodily issues, however metaphysical issues as properly. This consists of all non secular issues, and something in any type that merely IS…together with ideas, feelings, emotions, concepts, and, sure, the Black Holes of House.
“Take into consideration this. If God is actually All the things That Exists in Any Type In any way, what on the earth may God need or want or require? Why would God punish us for not giving God what we think about that God needs or wants or requires? The reply to those questions is self-evident. It needn’t be mentioned in nice element, as a result of easy logic reveals it to us and makes it clear how we now have been held captive by the mythologies of our personal tradition and its previous.
“The chance that lies earlier than us, and earlier than all sentient beings, is to make use of the Important Vitality of Pure Intelligence in the best way by which it was designed for use. Not all issues that exist within the universe can use this Important Vitality consciously. That’s, with full self-awareness and with intention. Solely these components of Life Itself which can be self-conscious — that’s, conscious of themselves — can accomplish that.
“I ought to appropriate that final assertion. Not even all components of life which can be self-conscious can use the Important Vitality consciously. It isn’t solely a query of being acutely aware, it’s also a query of the extent of consciousness {that a} being or a species has attained. For example, a canine, whereas very smart, just isn’t sufficiently self-aware (so far as we all know) to have the ability to use Important Vitality with intention.
“Human beings are usually not solely conscious of themselves, they’re conscious that they’re conscious, and so have risen to at the very least the Second Stage of Consciousness. This stage of consciousness permits sentient beings to note themselves, and even to note themselves noticing themselves. That’s, we are able to stand ‘exterior of ourselves’ and watch ourselves doing what we’re doing and considering what we’re considering and saying what we’re saying. We are able to even watch ourselves watching ourselves. We are able to step again into the hallway of consciousness, wanting by doorways each ahead and backward — and, based on some, finally seeing and experiencing our Divine and Sacred Self.”
Once I completed with my feedback a person at the back of the room rose to ask what he stated was a burning query: “Once I first learn Conversations with God I used to be very touched as a result of it allowed me to consider in a God who beloved me. Now I’m confused. You will have simply described a God who doesn’t care what I do or how my life seems. I really feel desolate after listening to this description from you. This isn’t what I got here anticipating to listen to at present. It is extremely little wanting miserable. Are you able to assist me?”
It was a wonderful query. A query from a person who was monitoring each phrase and serious about each nuance and implication. Others within the viewers nodded their approval of the inquiry. I shifted my weight from one foot to the opposite, cleared my throat, and commenced to talk in a sluggish, regular voice, the phrases coming from someplace past my acutely aware thoughts.
With Pure Love,
Neale
