Who are we? Are we mere biological beings? Are we spirits with a body? What is our “right relationship” to God?
I said here yesterday that, historically, humanity has sparked itself with a glimmer of hope, then returned to its sadness and its anguish, its turmoil and its conflict, its pain and its suffering. For the forces mounted against New Revelations have throughout the ages (and yes, even in this “enlightened” time) beaten back the message of inner personal empowerment in favor of an edict of continuing reliance on sources exterior—namely, religion, government, and Those In Charge.
That’s been the history, but all that can change if we will but place ourselves in the category of Those in Charge.
Will humanity do it?
I believe the answer is yes, and that it will happen when People Power and God Power are reconciled; when one is not made to devalue or dishonor the other.
The point that I have made in every book I have ever written (all 22 of them) is that People Power and God Power are the same. This is because God and We are One. This is not something that all people can embrace. Indeed, for many, this is blasphemy. Yet the message of Conversations with God is clear. There is no separation in the Universe. All things are One Thing, and the One Thing is the Only Thing There Is.
If this is true, and if we have the same power as God (although, perhaps, not in the same amount; not to the same degree), the question is, why is Life the way it is? Why have things gotten so dark, so bad, for so many people on the earth?
The answer is that we are, most of us, living a case of Mistaken Identity. We do not know Who We Really Are. Or we are afraid to claim it. To do so, en masse, would create a gobal spiritual revolution.
Who we are, of course, is God. That is, we are, each of us, a piece of The Divine; an individuation of Divinity; a singularization of the Singularity. We are not separate from God in any way, but a part of God — and, therefore, God Itself…with all the aspects, characteristics, and proportionate powers of The Divine.
We are not “mere mortals,” as some would tell us. Rather, it is as the Scriptures tell us (to paraphrase here): “Has it not been said: ‘Ye Are Gods’?”
If this is true — and I believe it is — then we, each of us, have the power to create…for that is the power of God. We have the power in microcosm that God has in macrocosm. Tomorrow…how this power — the power of Personal Creation — works…and how it can be made to function in your life.
