the RETURNWehave never been separated from the Most High, we have always beenthe Supreme, but because of our tendency to identify with theinformation we get, and the habits that we collect from the environmentand circumstances, we have an individual, an identity which thinksitself separated from the whole. So after we are enlightened throughour own efforts, or through a spiritual friend, we will see thingsdifferently. Then even though we still have an individual shell,we know that we are not that.
..... Now,if we want to see this light again, we must go up ourselves, orsomeone else will have to bring us up if we run out of oxygen,or iffy are caught in some rock. So we must go through all theobstacles. Whatever you came down through, you must go up through.We will then be able to take off our equipment and regain ouroriginal beauty. We thus came from a superior world and dove inthe ocean of existence to explore and entertain ourselves. Thenew world filled us with excitement and we forgot that the clockis running and that our life is in danger because when our missionis over we must return to the beach. And if we do not get out,a friend must dive in to take us back. Similarly, we have stayedtoo long in our equipment and have identified with our physicalform. Now, to go back home to the Kingdom of God, we must go throughall the levels of consciousness in the ocean of existence, howeverdifficult it is.
Going down is relatively effortless becausewe are fresh, ready to embark on any adventure. Everything isnew, so we descend very quickly without feeling tired at all.But when we have to go back up, it is another story! We are exhausted,running almost out of oxygen, and we have forgotten our way upbecause we were a little too adventurous. But luckily, our Creatorhas provided us with a connecting line. Have you ever heard ofthe silver chord! That is our saving line and when we strike it,it makes some kind of music that will guide us back home safely.
Our good friends Jesus and Buddha went downto the bottom of the ocean of existence to find those who hadstayed too long or that were lost. If we can go back alone, thatis great, but if we cannot, then these people are necessary. Theyare the shepherds who have been waiting for our safety. So whenwe go up we have to fight through the many levels of water. Becauseof the law of gravity and the water pressure, it is harder togo up. Plus we are tired, so to go up is harder than to go down.Now, if someone is beside us to show us the way with a torch andbring us new oxygen bottles, then we are safe and feel secure.You see, we do not belong to this world of existence, it is onlyfor us to play in and explore for a while. Because if we stayin the Kingdom of God for too long we might find it too blissful,or a little boring maybe!
..... Weare in the presence of God already. It is just that we do notrecognise it, so we feel the burden of being separated, of beingalone with ah the pressures of this world. My intention is thatyou get a glimpse or some glimpses of this presence of God, andthen you will be sure yourselves of His help, love and advice.
