what is new in god?

time is an illusion, and the definition of 'new' is that it is something that is just beginning. in truth, time is flexible, another medium that we can travel through when we come to that point. in order for us to experience a direct relation of action and consequence, time had to be put in order for us, a linear time line so we can see the direct result of our actions. karma and effect

technically the new and the old exist simultaneously. in truth, none of these 'new age' ideas are even new, they've been around for a very long long time, dating back to the mayan civilizations and even earlier than that. the problem with it was simply that the changes could not hold fast, as we still had a long way to go. now those changes are coming weather we like it or not, we can either bend or break as we are seeing in the real world. every one is feeling this, lately i've been dealing with issues of anger and being judgmental.

but the real truth is that we are not on any path to any destination.. every truth, and i mean every truth, is a distortion of some greater truth. other than the direct realization that you are god, everything is a distortion. so we see here that we are not here to 'finish' anything. we are here simply to continue our journey in truth, going from one truth to the next, one realization to the next.

amy posted something about the savage sacrifice that the mayan people began back in the day. everything is a distortion of a greater truth. animal and even human sacrifice has a greater theme of personal sacrifice and surrender. there are also themes of 'death' which is a greater distortion of the them of change, letting go of the old and becoming something new.

when you look out into the world and you see the evil swarming, trying to rally their forces, to continue to oppress and force submission from the masses think of it as a rat thats been cornered. he feels threatened and begins to lash out in a last ditch effort to try and escape and continue in his existence. the best thing you can do is feel unconditional love for these people.. now it is important that you understand this does not mean you let them beat you over the head, that denies the love for yourself. keeping yourself safe while expressing love, at a distance if necessary, is a tough thing to do but in a realm of unconditional love, the selfish love of these people is simply not compatible and so they must bend or break, they must come to terms with unconditional love, or they will have to leave to continue their evolution someplace where it is compatible.

your focus is important, as you said. try not to focus on the evil in fearing it, but rather in understanding the greater themes behind what they are trying to do. focus on loving them for what they are, extensions of yourself and mirrors to the issues in your own soul. in the themes of oppression and slavery are the themes of compassion and leadership. murder is control is leadership. learn to focus on the love, not on the fear.

and as always, take what you need from this, leave the rest. i am no guru, only a soul on the path next to you, i can tell you what i've seen, but i can't show you where i've been. experience is your own gift to yourself, be love and loving!
