Communicating with God
Chapter One: In the beginning
In the beginning, there was God. God has no sex and no inclination – God is all things and all senses, all spirits and all manifestations. God is all that is written in all the books, about God and of God – and simply God is all the books written throughout time, even those that have not yet been written.
This is not a communication of replacement. No previous religious texts are being replaced for everything that IS, exists in its own time and space. All writings, beliefs and practices are valid simultaneously, for God is not discriminatory and does not favour one practice or belief system over another. God views them all as a means, a process recommendation to humans, to spirits that have incarnated into physical form on the earth, on how to communicate with God.
Understand the meaning behind the words.
In the beginning there was God and as we speak and read and hear, there IS GOD. God is the membrane of the entire universe and all that exists as we humans know it, see it, phantom it, dream it conceive it, have done in the past and will do so in the future. In fact, God is a million multiple of that which is ever possible for us to conceive and realize. God is all context.
We humans exist in God’s cells, in God’s lap and God is ever loving and caring for us. Like all things in the universe, we too exist in God. We exist because of God and we are in essence, OF GOD. Before us God existed always, sometimes assuming different faces and shapes as incarnations but always being present and consistent. Humans are one chain link in a long chain link of the universe. Yet God loves us dearly and has always supported us one and all, individuals and communities in our quest for evolution.
It was in order to guide and support our human quest for evolution and the expression of our own need for spiritual ascension that God sent down angles to earth in many phases. In the first phase, the angles supported the evolution of the Neolithic man from its early origins as animal and reptile. This evolution took millions of years and was positively guided in every detail, every coupling and de-coupling and in every challenge by the universe and its Master. The process of human evolution had been completed in a continuum to about 80 % - this percentage was marked by advent of the Harappa and Euphrates river valley civilizations that were complex and mature in their familial, community and emotional relations. We note a need for humanity to continue to evolve and complete the full circle – that is the missing 20%. Look not backwards at the past for its gone and spent. Humanity cannot see the future for that is independent of rational thought. So look rightly at the present and feel and live this present as the last moment and the best moment of your existence.
Chapter two: Guidance and Evolution
Since the Euphrates River civilization, humanity has evolved about 14 %. From this point to the present marks the second phase of guidance and support from God, through angles, messengers and may times directly. Many will question the relevance of giving percentages as a means of explanation. Be assured that the percentages are just a method of communicating in your language the process of evolution as a continuum. Humanity is about 80% evolved and is working on the rest. This is an aggregate of the whole so as we say this, recognition must also go to the many thousands that have transcended and completed their evolution. However almost as we say that, we must also recognize the many millions that are still to reach this aggregate level. The intention of this explanation is to convey the fact that God has consistently and continuously supported human evolution as it has been manifested by humans themselves.
God and God’s workers’ provide the guidance where humans are ready to receive it. Evolution is not only in physical terms but also in emotional and spiritual terms. Humans have experienced an uneven progress through time, more in the physical and emotional spheres and to a varying degree in the spiritual realm. God has sent repeated special messengers to humans in order to provide them with prophetic guidance on their spiritual evolutions. Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha and Abraham are all examples of special messengers of God that bought guidance down to humanity in many languages and at different times. The central messages of all the prophets are the same – they have laid out systemic approaches to communicating with and contacting God. These processes are human religions usually referred to as Christianity, Islam and Hinduism to name a few.
Due to the unique process and experience of each individual human evolution, the messengers and the messages from God were perceived uniquely and imbibed differently. By assuming human form and by living a human life, all prophets have alluded to the fact that God exists in all humans. They tried to create a visual and perceptual link between God the Creator and God’s creation, the human. To a significant extent all the prophets succeeded. Today, a majority of the human community follows one religion or another as a spiritual path. However, does this pathway lead to God? Or does it just lead to religious practice and the illusion of communication with God?
Understand the meaning behind the words.
Chapter three: Evolution and Comprehension
All the prophets created the link between humans and God, providing the path for a direct communication to occur. Many others within and independent of any messaged pathway found their own way of communicating with God. The evolution of individuals has been diversified. However as an integral aspect of the unique reception of each prophet, humans display an uncanny similarity of practice – they follow the written word (of God) and dedicate their lives to the practice of communication and supplication to God and very few, dedicate themselves to the actual communication with God.
Today in the human practice of religion, the significance seems to be placed on the practice of the norms established in the religion as a means in themselves, rather than a means to the end of communicating with God. This is an observation and not a criticism.
Human practice of the path of communication, be it Islam, Judaism, Christianity or any other religion seems replete with negativity and pettiness. Many examples abound: Ø Humans following a certain pathway feel their system is superior to any other and will discriminate against and shun those that chose another pathway. Ø Humans kill, maim and injure other humans in the defence of or the expansion of their chosen pathway. Ø Humans believe that each pathway leads to a different (better?) God.
In fact the whole of human history seems to be based on the creation of communities of sisters and brothers that have, over time come to share an identity (physical characteristics and life practices) and a religion as a system of culture and society. The interplay of these communities with each other seems to be acrimonious and destructive rather than loving and giving.
As messengers came to earth to different races and peoples, these communities interpreted their messages to be specific to them and proceeded to expand the practice of this pathway aggressively and violently.
A defence of the communal identity thus developed, giving communities of humans a reason to prosper over other different human groups. Trade, economics and scientific discoveries forced competition between groups to resources and labour. Before all this however, war, violence and arrogance led humans to subjugate, enslave and kill other humans that belonged to different groups even if they ethnically belonged to the same father and mother. This continues in the Middle East to the present day.
At the fundamental base of all this is identity – the identity gained from community and the practice of religion, protected and promoted by violence, arrogance, war and killing. This is a short history of human evolution, for early human spiritual evolution was linked to “doing” or “manifesting” good for the chosen path or community and in following the prescribed pathway of the religion. The comprehension of what was required to be a human moved away very fast from the link that prophets had created between man and God. This linkage disappeared almost completely , as did the perception of the endgame of any religious practice, namely communicating with God.
Human evolution continued over the last 2,500 years at varying degrees however the path that remains to be covered will require a return to a basic understanding of what is the human link with God. Why do we humans separate our actions from the practice of prayer and communicating with God?
Understand the meaning behind the words.
At this point, it might be useful to consider what humans think that God wants or what a spiritual objective would be for a lifetime of worship. This would of course depend partially on what and how your beliefs have been shaped. I might share my own thoughts as an example of how I think.
To me, the objective of my life is to serve God and in serving God, submit myself to God’s energy. This energy already exists within me and very definitely consists of love, a pure unadulterated love that is not clinging or possessive or needy but giving and free. Love is to give love. I think that in my life, I will strive to accomplish or relegate tasks that are scheduled, as part of a process of trying to merge my energy forever with God’s energy. In this process, we face spiritual and physical tasks but the end objective is simple. It is to merge completely with God. Progress towards this objective depends largely upon how we individuals approach life and its implementation. What is the plan that I have agreed for myself to fulfil?
Chapter four: Comprehension and Communication
The fundamental quality of human comprehension and perception changed the understanding of what God originally created, and of what is required of humans in order for them to communicate with God, so much so that a significant number of religious people only speak to the Creator through other humans (priests) or do not feel the need to entertain such a dialogue at all. A majority of good humans feel it adequate to practice the prescriptions of a religion in order to ensure an end goal. Again human comprehension and perceptions have determined that humans are inadequate and at the end of their life, will need to be saved and forgiven by their religion. This implies also that humans are inevitably doing wrong so God has to forgive in order for humans to get to heaven. This system of evaluation, judgement and salvation scurries the contact between the human and his Maker, and establishes the dichotomy between heaven and hell. Heaven and hell exist, however comprehension of the meaning behind these words would lead you to understand that heaven and hell are representations of the duality of the universe. This duality has been expressed as yin and yang, black and white and in countless other ways. This duality exists on earth and continues in the hereafter as a qualitative context in the universe.
Heaven and Hell also allude to a behavioural prescription however, this is largely established by humans themselves when imbibing and writing down messages from God. Human societies need behavioural rules to perform and to judge. A portion of what has been prescribed in religions is an organizational and behavioural prescription, in order to control, to segregate and to evaluate humans in their performance so some humans are “higher” or “closer to God” than others. The truth is that heaven and hell are the continuation of the yin yang of the earthly world. There is a light and a dark in the hereafter however there is no spiritual dichotomy that banishes you from God’s light.
God is ever present and ever accessible to humans and to spirits no matter at what level or circumstance they find themselves in. It is a matter of the individual reaching out and asking for God’s help and support; and secondly opening themselves to that process.
The fact of the matter is that human experiences are individual. As humans gain these individual experiences, it is their choice how to handle or proceed with a certain relationship or matter, and this choice of treatment determines the goodness and Godliness that the individual makes for themselves. All the religions have laid out basic rules called commandments that guide the individual in their life – these commandments are all that is necessary to determine the action of an individual. In other words, that which a human does to others determines his/her context in the relationship that he/she has with God. God is always present to human reality but are humans always open to God’s presence? Over time this matrix of actions and intentions on the part of a human also determines what place they have in the duality of the universe. However, God and “saviour” are accessible at all times to the individual based upon their sincere desire and intention to establish a direct relationship with God.
In this sense, human comprehension has complicated and “humanized” the original thinking behind the system of duality represented by Heaven and Hell into an evaluative and judgemental system when the original function of this thought was to highlight and urge awareness on the individual of the nature of their own action and its resonance in the universe. Underlying this was the fundamental linkage personified by the messengers of God that each human contained God within them and needed to communicate directly with Him. No human is excluded except by their own actions or inactions in establishing their relationship with God. Humans must take that step. God awaits you.

Chapter Five: Communication and Resonance
Talking from a very deep level we note that those that are confused and amazed at the simplicity of the thoughts above are buried in their systemization of the communication with God. To God, this systemization is unnecessary. God wants to hear from you directly, instantly and constantly without any intermediary or stipulated formula. Established norms religions and methods, mechanisms for communication are to support humans on their side in communicating with God however for God there is no such need for structure or formality. God hears you when you speak to him. God sees everything you do and is looking for you humans to open to God’s love and guidance.
Each action and thought that you have/act creates a resonance in the universe. Some have called this “Karma” and it is acceptable if this term is used to label this resonance. However, resonance has no weight of judgement and no weight of sanction and karma has been reinterpreted to signify a judgemental weight of accumulated action. Shed the idea of resonance being weighty and judgemental. Resonance is the echo of your actions and intentions in the world – if you intend to do good and your actions, thus intentioned are carried out while keeping good intention in your heart, your resonance will be positive no matter what the result of the action.
The action and the intention places the choice of what universal resonance is produced at the level of the individual human. There is no other deliberative mechanism that will judge whether an action is good or bad.
We again hear your murmurs questioning the simplicity of this communication and we urge you to be mindful of unnecessary structure – structure creates a distance and defines space between objects – do you wish to create space and distance between you and God, or eliminate it?
Be simple and direct in your communication to God by understanding that you determined the resonance of your action in the duality of the universe and you can determine every minute and every day, your place in the universal matrix. You may use religious systems and structures to support your society and your social contacts. God only wishes to hear from you and asks you to take the first step.
Resonance is created by you and you may determine your own path in the communication with God. Be simple, be direct and be free in your communication with God.
Understand the meaning behind the words.
Chapter Six: Doubt and Fear
Do you doubt and fear this communication? Is there doubt and dread in your heart at communicating directly? Are you overcome by guilty and a feeling of anger or threat?
Do you question why you had needed religion and if the communication in these writings are correct, why did God allow religion to develop as it did?
God has tried to communicate the simplicity of the link that exists between God and you in many ways at many times however, humans have always found ways to understand and establish control structures. This is because humans inherently need to control and “win” over one another rather than support each other unconditionally in their efforts. Let go of the need to control and be controlled.
Secondly your fear, dread and anger reflects your own inhibitions about communicating with God. Do you feel safer communicating through a priest? Is he not a human? Shed the need for structure and support when God exists inside you and all you have to do is reach out, and over time, God’s communication and support will emerge strongly to you – you will hear, you will feel and you will see – allow your self to do so.
Fear, dread and anger exist only in human time and in human place. They are the constraints and shackles that bind you to the system of judgement and retribution that you have invented and allowed to be put upon you. If you care to, you can rise above it and realize that the only actions that you may determine are your own. The only judge and jury are yourself and you are judging only yourself. Reverse this trend and take this moment to take conscious stock of every action and every intention that you harbour and that you take. Be aware and conscious of the resonance of every action and every intention. Give yourself freedom to take the action that you want and to communicate by those actions what you really mean, thereby creating the resonance that you intend to create.
If you mean to love, give love in every action even the smallest and gift love freely. If you intend to invite friendship, give friendship to others and inject it with sincerity and integrity so that the resonance you create echoes that back to you. Let go of the fear and the anger – they were created by you to stop yourself and to control yourself, and they inhibit communication with yourself and with God.
Imagine that you cannot freely communicate with yourself. Would you be able to communicate with other humans as you wish, if this was the case? Would you be able to communicate with God if this was the case?
Who is in control? Who is implementing your life plan?
Why? What is your choice?
