Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to find and remove
all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

There has never been a time more critical than now to know who to trust and where to go for reliable guidance. We are in extraordinary times. The situations humanity finds itself in are being called biblical. Pandemics, wild fires, locusts, climate change, tsunamis, mass shootings and devastating storms are becoming common place. Governments and big business are showing themselves to be untrustworthy. Addiction is destroying and killing way too many of our valuable youth. Suicide is too common to ever be comfortable with those statistics. If you look outside of yourself, you may perceive much chaos and possibly feel overwhelming confusion, anger or high levels of anxiety. What is going on here?
We are certainly in unprecedented times! Yet the opportunity for a real transformation of humanity has arrived! Did you know that the meaning of human is divine being? Hu is one of the oldest names for the Supreme Being and can mean God, Love, Indivisible Oneness and Life Force. If you spend some time looking up the meaning of Hu, you will begin to understand who we really are.
However, you do not have to look up anything to discover who you really are. All you must do is GO IN and begin to explore your inner self. I have been journeying within for most of my life. But about 25 years ago, while going through a crisis, I made a decision. I decided to get to the core of my issues rather than take medication. Who knew the core of my issues was believing in a God that didn’t even exist the way I had been conditioned to believe!
My journey within started with journaling. Every morning, I would begin my journal with the words, “Good Morning God.” I would pour my heart out to a God that I was taught to believe in, but who I didn’t really know at all. After I wrote what was on my mind each day, which at the beginning of this journey included every fear and worry that had piled up in my mind for decades, I would then write the words, “Tuning in/Listening”. Then I would ask, "What do you want me to know today?" At this point in my journaling, I would simply listen to what God had to say to me.
Believe me, I was surprised when I began getting a response each day from God. As the decades of this writing progressed, I really began to know God in a more spectacular way and to have a closer relationship with God. The God I uncovered was a great listener and was kind, accepting, profoundly healing and uncompromisingly truthful. The Presence I connected with was unconditionally loving, vast, supremely intelligent and was willing to guide me in my life in a much more uplifting way than I had been living. This God lived in me.
There is so much I want to say. Several things began to happen as I connected with God each day. I began to be given downloads of information which felt to me like I was simply scribing the information, poems or messages I was given. I was also given visions, and deeper understandings. Sometimes, I was shown a future event. At times, the message was personal, and at other times, applied to us all. It took me a long time to actually trust what I was being given. Yet so many things started to happen in my life that showed me that we live in a loving and very responsive, completely conscious and awake Universe. I began to experience how profoundly connected we all are.
Over time, my sense of self changed dramatically. I no longer saw myself as just a body. The more I got to know this beautiful and approachable Enlivening Spirit, the more I became intricately merged with It during meditation. The limits that I had been defining myself by fell away. Once this sacred, Infinite Field of Love came to live in me, and I in It, everything changed. Even though I still fall out of this glorious Domain of Love, I know where to go to link back up quickly.
This blog is devoted to what I have learned and experienced, not through books, but through my unique relationship with God. We are at a time where the only thing to do is GO IN and connect with the big G. The answers and powers we need to thrive are with us right now. We can change everything. Jesus said that the things he did, we will do, and more. Now is the time for this to happen!
The more you associate with this enormous field of potential, the more you will see that we are capable of so much more than we have ever been told. We can affect the outer world using our extensive inner powers. Or you can stand steady in the embrace of God while chaos reigns.
Choose to join forces with God so that you can begin to understand who and what God really is. I am sure that the God you find will be nothing like what we have been brainwashed to believe. It is time to redefine God for yourself. How can you get to know God?
Prayer is you reaching out to God with your concerns, needs, and with your questions. Meditation is listening to the reply. Do you pray without listening for or expecting a response? You will always get one. I assure you.
And those answers will change you.
So ask away and hold no requests or questions back. Then listen.
I also want to say this. I often now use other words for God, as well. The word, God, has become associated with a judging man in the sky. The God I have met is so much more expansive than this. Really, the God that was revealed to me is undefinable and limitless in qualities, states, dimensions, powers, goodness, potential and love. God is an eternal steadiness, stillness and pure awareness. God is also the movement of life through all living things. You will discover that as you expand your perception and remove all perceived limits, more of this sacred, boundless Presence will expose itself to you. You will begin to know God in a new way! And in so doing, will also know yourself in a fresh way!
So start your day with the words, Good Morning God. Or Good Morning Goodness. Or Good Morning Universe. Or Good Morning Great Spirit. Good Morning Love and Light. Good Morning Divine. Good Morning All That Is. Good Morning Quantum Field. Good Morning Infinite Possibility. Good Morning Intelligence. Good Morning Creator. Good Morning Humanity. God is all of these things and more. Begin each day by unifying with the Greater-ness, and move through your days in the fullness of who you really are.
Redefine God as the One who dwells in and invigorates all living things including us. Come to know the vastness of this Exquisite Presence. We have been given access to the blessed everything-ness that God Is. Mingle, unite and explore both the depth and the spaciousness of this Generous One who desires to live though us. Begin to embody this natural state. God is made visible THROUGH us, as us. When we fully take in what this means; how we operate in the world will change dramatically. When we create and live as lovingly, gracefully and generously as the Great Spirit; what we create, give and perceive will become sacred and miraculous.
Realize that the biggest lie we have ever been asked to believe is that we are separate from God. God is in you. We are in the vastness of God and the vastness of God is in us. God is FOR you, meaning God cooperates and co-creates with you. This level of consciousness can be reached by going in. Remove all that stands between you and the divine truth of your being. Bring yourself back to the Source of Life, to your aliveness. Then allow this beautiful Life Force to boldly blaze through you.
So yes, the world is in chaos. But you do not have to be. There is something reliable, steady, dependable and brilliant, as close to you as your heartbeat, and as exhilarating as your breath. We can regenerate the earth. We can purify and revitalize our bodies, minds and spirits. We are in this together. With the limitless access that we have to God; we are destined to succeed. Bring forth what is within you!
These are the writings and experiences that have emerged as a result of my relationship with the benevolent and bountiful, Great Spirit of ALL Life. I thank God for the goodness that has been poured upon me, and for the deep and treasured connection we share.
I would love to hear your experiences, as well. Welcome to Good Morning God.
