A Divine E-Mail From God

My Darling Children - (and believe me, that's all of you) -

I consider Myself pretty patient...I mean, look at the Grand Canyon. I've been patient through your fashions, your civilizations, your wars and MLM schemes....I've even been patient with Dennis Rodman....yet I simply have to let you know some things that are perturbing Me.

Your religious rivalries are driving Me up a wall. Enough already. Let's get one thing straight: these are your religions, not Mine. I'm the whole enchilada, the "burrito grande" and I'm beyond them all.

Every one of your religions claims there's only one of Me (which, by the way, is absolutely true.) Yet in the next breath, many religions claim they're My favorite one. Hey! Some nights you feel like Mexican food; other nights you feel like Thai. Yet each feeds the stomach, just as my Divine Spirit feeds the entire soul. I'm so vast; I'm an infinite cosmic smorgasbord for all to come and select favorite parts of Me to fill them up. But to limit God to one branch of thought or one restaurant - ridiculous!

Each religion also has this tendency to claim that its bible was personally written by Me, and that all other sacred texts are bogus. Oh my! OK, I don't nash at Jack-in-the-Box, and admittedly some human interpretations of my Divinity do border on junk food for the soul. But please! Men and women wrote these sacred texts as inspired by Me, the Creator of All Things, (AKA the Master chef).

And when I watch you slaughter each other over who has the perfect recipe - or the perfect menu for realization, it gives me a mega stomach ache. (I never thought God could get queasy, but I've got to hand it to you darlings - watching you is sometimes hard on my stomach.)

Listen up, little munchkin heads! I'm your Father AND Mother, and I don't play favorites amongst My children. Plus, I don't write; my longhand has always been awful. I could give doctors a run for their money in the legibility department. So I prefer to dictate and delegate to the Recording Angels, not to mention the Lords of Karma. OK, you call them Angels of Judgment - whatever! ... Believe me, I've processed a lot of souls since you were born in the twinkling of My enchanted eye. There's one thing I DO know: There are infinite expressions and unfathomable ways to express your glorious life force as a soul through Me.

I know some of you think this is a one-shot deal. Fine. Believe Me, after you've been a citizen on planet EARTH, your individuality is going to come into focus - no matter how many breaths (or lifetimes) it takes. So please relinquish this terrible habit of thinking that there's a "best" way to live, to love Me (or to love yourselves). I've said it a zillion times:

There's no limit on love's grace *OR* love's expression. Why limit love?

Before you go suggesting there is only one right way to love one another, remember my infinite variety in Creation itself. Let's get one thing straight, whatever your name is: If I didn't have an incredible imagination and a sly sense of humor, I couldn't have created YOU.

While we're at it, even a clown on the street is worth more to Me than all the Holy Books in the world. That's just the kind of Spirit I Am.

What's a Book, anyway? It's a record of Being, and pure BEING is here, now, and for all infinity. (Got it?) OK, maybe YOU GOD IT.

I'm patient. Look how patient I've had to be in your own life. Now that's Divine patience. (Ahem!)

My Spirit is not just historical; it's alive right here, right now, as fresh as your next breath. Holy books and religious rites are sacred and powerful, but no more so than the least or most of you. They're meant to steer you in the right direction, not to keep you persecuting each other....WHAT a waste of life force(!) There some of you are, tearing out your hair and fighting over certain written passages, forgetting to seek within the human heart and call home. I'm the original 800-number, remember? Hello!

Even my favorite passages in any number of religious texts are NOT meant to usurp you from trusting your personal connection with Me.

It strikes me as odd that you might read one of My books and not want to meet the Original Author - converse with - or feel - My Holy Spirit kissing the spun white-light fabric of your SOUL...

I was there in the beginning. I AM the FIRST Word, the alpha and the omega, the spoken SOUND that brought Creation into substance....Look inside the ordered, humming electricity of every atom and there I AM!

Search your heart, and THERE is where you can begin to hear my still, quiet voice...the small, serene voice of your own SOUL. This still, quiet voice is the voice through which Great Spirit speaks, in whatever language you're best wired to receive, by birth or by upbringing.

What language does God prefer? I know every tongue; I created the tongue. I prefer the language of the human heart. And I don't mind human brilliance; it's simply that brilliance requires feeling in order to be truly balanced.

Which brings Me to My next point: I don't get excited over money or politics, so cease and desist dragging My name into your muddy dramas. For example, I never threatened Oral Roberts. I never drove any Rajneesh's Rolls Royces. I never told Pat Robertson to run for president! Half the time when people say that "God told me so," they aren't listening to my sacred, pure voice. They could be channeling from Sri Wallet, or possibly Swami Greed-O! You see, anytime you hear a voice that seeks to demean, bully, or criticize in judgment, it isn't coming from ME! I'm a secure BEING who has no need to put others down (including you) in order to feel important.

The voice of Divine Spirit seeks not to hurt, but to heal. That should help you differentiate between the voice of the soul, versus a voice which is not arising from a pure place. Listen! Your soul knows and recognizes the pure voices of love and understanding. It's less a matter of common sense, than of common heart...

The thing is, I want you to stop thinking of religion as some sort of loyalty pledge to Me. The true purpose of your religions is so that YOU can become more aware of ME, not the other way around.

Believe Me, I know you already.....I know what's in each of your hearts. And if you'd hold still once or twice a day, I'd know exactly what was in your minds, too - if you would just make them up! OK, that was My sense of humor...

I know your fears and your longings, your search for wholeness. I know what you preach and what you practice under guise of darkness. You can't really shock me for I've seen it all, and my wish for you is to bridge the distance between your pure intent and any careless, inconsiderate disregard for life, for I know that deep down, you really do love.

You simply may have forgotten how lovely you are, yet Divine Spirit will always remind you. I love you with no strings attached. Spirit is here to bring all of you together, to remind you of infinite things in your limited days.

What you seem to forget is how mysterious I am. You look at some petty differences in your scriptures and say, "Well, if THIS is the truth, then THAT can't be!" Blah, blah, blah. But instead of trying to figure out My paradoxes and My unfathomable Nature - which, by the way, you NEVER will as long as you're measuring with finite instruments - why not simply open your hearts to common threads weaving through your religions?

My darling, contentious Children, instead of asking, "What's the matter?", ask something that goes quite a bit deeper: "What's the Spirit?" Or better yet, "How can the Spirit be magnified in these matters?"

And THAT Spirit, my dear muffin-heads, cannot be bottled or sold like Insta-Religious-Gatorade. Spirit refuses to be limited, as I refuse to be summarized in formulas or vows. I'm not really interested in how long you've fasted, or what prayers you've recited or candles you've lit.

I am supremely interested in the ways you allow love to work through you in order to lift those around you. I'm delighted whenever you allow your inspiration to carry actions to a higher purpose. I'm pleased whenever you bring beauty and caring to life forms which you share on this planet.

True love extends to your brothers and sisters, and even members of your immediate family! OK, that last remark was partially a joke. Even GOD is learning to lighten-up. You see, truthfully, after you've healed the petty grievances between family members, you'll have just enough skill to open the petty hearts of your political legislators and lawmakers.

I don't need your praise as much as your follow through. Remember this the next time you say a prayer, then act in the same wretchedly wasteful ways! I'm interested in the workings and expression of your immortal SOUL not as much in service to ME, but even more to the adoration and sacred callings of LIFE itself.

You know what I'm talking about: HONOR THE EARTH! Love and respect everyone....Be kind, even when life is scary or confusing....Take courage and be of good cheer, for I am always with you....Learn how to be quiet, so you can hear My still, small voice (I don't need to shout)....

Leave the world a better place by living your life with grace and dignity...

Hold back nothing from life, for the parts of you that can die, surely will, and the parts that can't, won't. Whenever possible, honor beauty and put a lid on that terrible bratty-like anger, those petulant snotty behaviors.

You've already shown Me how cruel you can be. You've been less convincing in demonstrating the endless creativity and boundless enthusiasm which arise, like a well-spring, from LOVE. You see, it's all simple stuff! But the "sort of simple" that goes as deep and deeper than most of you are able or willing to see. Get your nose out of your own limited self-interests....then turn up the heat on your own KNOW-ledge!

*When you see beyond yourself, then you will see yourself more clearly.*

I've given you all the resources you need, if only you'll abandon your fear of one other and begin to honor the life in each one of you. Instead of being on a soap box, step off your platform and wash the city streets with kindness. Your love and kindness can even expand the clipped imaginations and sharpened talons of many CEO's(!)

Oh, by the way....I'm not really ticked off. I wanted to grab your attention...because I hate to see you suffer. I gave you free will; I want you to be fulfilled. And to realize that timeless happiness comes from developing your mind, body and soul. Especially the creativity of your soul.

Always.

Love,
Adonai
