On God
Ibiru :
"God" is an interesting concept. Without it, we cannot pretend that we are separate from all other beings
and things, we cannot play at giving up "our" wills in order to let "His" will be done, and
we can have no "straight man" against whom to pit a "devil."
It is all a vast game of hide and seek. What makes you think that your will and the will of "god" are
not already one and the same? The will of a child to laugh, a tree to send out its leaves and roots, a bird to
fly and a fish to swim all come from the very same source. All of your lives, you spend your time and energy building
and reinforcing belief s about "god," "reality," and yourselves. Then you play the games of
fighting over whose "god" is the REAL "god," whose truth is the best…
Sit a while and talk with me. What you seek is already in your hands. It is in the vast mirror that is life, always
looking back at you. You are the Goddess known as Samantha. You are typing my words on the Sacred Itself, gazing
at the Holy Screen with the Eyes of Spirit. All who read the Sacred Words spoken here are themselves Gods and Goddesses,
receiving their versions of this Divine Message, ALL of which are Truth.
Do you understand what we are trying to tell you? There is no devil - only the fear born of ignorance that keeps
you thinking that dichotomies and dualities are objectively real. There is no god -out-there. There is no one to
save you, because there is no reason to be saved. All that you see, all that you can ever imagine, and infinity
beyond that, is all part of the Dance. You and all-that-is are no more and no less than the Spinning, Dancing Body
of Spirit, of the Infinite.
All can know themselves as the Sacred that they are if they take a moment to be still, a moment to really give
their full attention to the grand beauty of the living worlds around them, mirrored in the eyes that express the
infinite beauty of the living worlds within. We are all travelers together. We all play the roles of teachers,
students, lovers, friends and adversaries. Underneath and before it all is the Reality out of which we come, into
which we all return and from which we will eternally spring.
So, this one believes in Allah, that one believes in Christ, the other one believes in nothing at all...And they
are all right. Accept this and your world may yet find its way through the illusion. You are the message. Each
and every one of you is the Path, the Message. How you live your lives, how you respond to the infinite choices
and events that make up living, how you treat each other and yourselves.... These are the Ways in which you speak
your Truths, regardless of the words you use.
Sometimes people are pleased to say that "god" demands this or that sacrifice, this or that set of absolute
rules, this or that Way of believing in "him." Our truths are that the Sacred is best expressed and known
by each Being following the Truth that is her/him. For instance: The Truth of an artist is expressed differently
than the Truth of an engineer. Which expression is the correct one? Both are. The artist gives voice to the Sacred
by reveling in her art, while the engineer builds bridges, buildings and starships that reflect the Sacred.
Worlds are destroyed when people forget that everything they do, they do as gods. They then see themselves as separate
from the worlds around them and take what is not needed. The artist then reflects the fear and the engineer builds
bombs. Your choice.
In the end, no sacrifice can make you clean and sacred in the eyes of "god" and no one can save you from
your lack of vision. You are the message. Your lives are the only Holy Books that count, since it is your actions
that express your true beliefs. You are the Path. How are you walking today? Is your life communicating what your
laughing, loving Spirit knows, or are you communicating your fear, your anxiety, and your sense of separateness?
