I think we all percieve this distinction and the flaw in puting all our trust and faith in an enitity that is anything other than all-that-is. Whilst these paths may lead us higher they may also lead us down a dead end ally way. Our goal is to find our way back to all-that-is. It is our free will to decide what path we take to get there and how long it takes. I have made a choice to build a one on one relationship with the creator and these understandings have presented themselves. I may be way off base but I trust that this is the path of learning I have been given. Any path that leads me off target can induce a potential corrrection to lead me back to the target. All that is needed is the intention.
I am curious, how do you go about building a one-on-one relationship with the creator? Specifically, in your everyday goings on, how do you do that?

best,
Gnosis

I said to the creator in Prayer:

Dear Father,

The only way that I can truely make an informed descision and make the correct choices that are in allignment with your will is to know you as a friend. To close the gap of seperation by redemption of what I can immediately perceive that needs correction and to then be guided by you towards this level of communication. I must never stop talking to you because when I look back over my life I can see that you have never stopped talking to me and guiding me. It is just I wasn't always paying attention. Now I choose to pay attention and move back into closeness with you.

Amen


Then things just happen. I get a random email that steers me on one path of knowledge from someone I don't know. I get a book given to me to read called "The Shack" ISBN-10 0-9647292-3-7 the day after I ask the question "How can you as the conductor of all that is allow people to do bad things like blow them selves up and kill others?" The book is fiction but explores where God is in a world of Pain.

This has happened for some time now. When I ask I receive. When I go looking I find. I am very thankful.

Thank you, and I will follow your example tonight :-) Myself, I would feel safer saying "Dear All-that-is", or Dear "Higher Self". Also, the "...I must never stop talking to you..." I would change to a positive statement, remove the "must never".

I have a backoff on saying "Amen" too. I'd probably say, "It is said and it is done" or some english language positive affirmation. The universe seems to be quite legalistic when it comes to what words are used, and has its own rules.

Then, as you do, I would remain watchful and mindful, knowing the communication was received.

Also, I am training myself not to use the "Why?" word, although I will ask for clarification.

I love the simplicity and heartfulness of your prayer, thank you for sharing.

peace,
Gnosis

I've thought about the use of Father / Mother and He/She etc a lot. I reason that if we take it that the Mother is the creation itself and the Father is the intention behind the creation and that coupled with the statement "In the Beginning there was the Word." To speak a word is to form an intent. So therefore Father God is the source of all that is. Mother God is to be respected just as any other part of creation should be respected as no part of creation is above any other part of creation. Many disciplines have labeled the intention behind the creation as the Father. It is that which I address and mean no disrepect to the Creation herself. I usually finish with "Thank you". "Amen" is an old habit. I was trying to share the heart of the message and translate what I was communicating from the heart.

"Think with your Heart". "Feel with your mind"

No, no, no, that did not bother me at all. What I had a personal concern about is that the 4D is fairly tricky and there might be all kinds of "Fathers", so that is why I say "All the is", and I do have a tendency to be too microscopic, and this may be one of those occasions :-)

peace,
Gnosis

The Tree of Life. From all that is came the creation. As above so below.
