I am here, John.
My dear friend, I am glad you have accepted my request to write down this message.
Ego
has much more power than people truly understand and we cannot repeat
it often enough. We can ask as much Love as we want, if we do not work
on our egos we will never be free of worries and darkness. Love helps
us to get rid of ego but, as with everything in life, there is the other
side of the story (of duality) that ego blocks us from receiving love
(even DL) or acting with love. Some people will not accept this because
it is not in accord with what they believe (or want) but it is true.
When
people don’t want to believe truth there is always an underlying
reason: that ego wants to preserve itself. Everybody wants to be loved
and for that we are willing to do whatever we need; even becoming
something or someone we do not want to be. And the most difficult thing
to accept of this process, is accepting the fact we choose to become
this way by using our free will.
So, if we want to get rid of
our ego, we have to accept we (ourselves) are the reason why we are who
we are at this moment. Since we all only want to be loved, it is hard to
accept we have become someone we did not want to become. However, the
only way to ever reach the heavens of heaven is by daring to be
vulnerable; by tearing down all the walls and layers ego has build
around our soul; by understanding we are always in full control.
And,
yes, Divine Love can help us with this but it will not do it for us.
There is no easy way out or around it and no magical formula. Only when
we come to understand this truth, real progress will start. It is
inherent to our nature to look for the easy way out; to try and skip
some ‘levels’: to maximize gains with minimum effort or energy loss. But
many are starting to understand this path leads nowhere. Believing that
asking for the Divine Love is all we need to do to reach the Celestial
Heavens will get us as far as believing the blood of Jesus washes away
all our sin.
Divine Love is all we’ll ever need. It is the key
to freedom, God and eternity. But without submission of our egos and its
free will, it will not get us to the place we want to be.
(Question.)
Yes,
that is true and this may upset some people, but truth always will.
Love will stir up ego in its attempt to shine light upon it and ego will
always fight back to keep itself alive. And again the true power of ego
and free will is shown. Divine Love will not interfere with it. It will
only steer people in the right direction to help accept the truth but
it will not force it upon us. And the only way to find out the truth is
by testing it and doing something with it while staying objective and
not let our ego and its preconceived ideas keep us from trying.
There
is a path that leads to the Celestial heavens but no one can skip the
necessary (minimum) amount of steps that need to be taken. Anybody can
add as many extras as they want and take as much time as they need but
no one can skip any primary step. As we cannot open the lock of a safe
by skipping some symbols of the code (because we believe we can) we
cannot unlock the doors of heaven by skipping primary steps just because
we believe we can. This is a truth we all have to accept when we want
to reach our goals, no exceptions made.
It will not be easy
(from an ego perspective) because it means we will have to do and accept
things our egos do not want to accept or do. And therefore we will
gladly accept and belief there is an easier way out.
But we need
to understand this is a normal reaction. If you look at the child
witnessing something ‘unloving’, its intuitive reaction will be to look
away. If a monster shows up on TV the child will cover its eyes with a
nearby object at hand, mostly a pillow. Well, it is that same process
that triggers us to ‘cover our eyes’ when life wants to show us
something about our egos that is not in compliance with the love. And
the reason is we all just want to be love(d).
Looking at our
egos is one of the hardest things to do. But whatever heaven we want to
reach, we will have to deal with it, sooner or later. The Divine Love
will take us to the most illuminated places but not without visiting the
darkest ones because they need to be filled with Light too.
So
you see, knowledge without action leads nowhere. If knowledge is gained
it needs to be shared and put into action otherwise progress will
stagnate and new knowledge cannot manifest because the next layer cannot
be build if there is no solid foundation to build it upon.
And
so it is with Divine Love; if the proper foundation is not there, no
extra DL will be received no matter how much we ask for it. If we do not
submit our egos to our souls, by trying to keep our egos intact, we are
not being truthful in our asking for DL so we will not receive more
because not all conditions to receive the DL are met.
I see you
are getting tired now so I am going to stop here. I am glad you took the
time to write down some of my thoughts. Please share them.
Your friend and guide, John.
