Fearing Getting Caught vs. Loving the Divine Qualities

Youth: The days when we’d risk everything to steal a bar of chocolate

When I look at my own personal process of opening up and expanding my awareness, I see that at times I agree with myself to see what I’m doing but not go deeply into it. That includes, when it serves my purposes, lapsing into ignorance and unawareness if confronted.

The process was underpinned by my belief that it was OK to do frowned-upon things as long as we don’t get caught. The process is probably a part of everyone’s growing up.

It may be a quite common notion and practice in normal, daily life (“Ah, hey, it doesn’t matter. Big deal”). It lies below our speeding, stealing a piece of fruit from a supermarket, having a smoke where it’s prohibited, etc.

And you’re not going to hear anything exciting here. My aberrant activity never got past two chocolate bars and a can of rock candy – getting caught every time! (Michael!) (1)

Getting caught was too much for me and I followed the strait and narrow after that. (2) But ONLY because I didn’t like getting caught.

****

The fact that this way of being went unacknowledged allowed it to persist at some level year after year. Then, three months in a live-in encounter group in 1975-76 marked the end of its invisibility.

But it’s only been very recently that I’ve transitioned altogether from young rule-breaker to actually loving and desiring the divine qualities (love, bliss, ecstasy, etc.) and virtues (courage, generosity, prudence, etc.).

There is a definite point where my liking of the divine qualities increased so much that my vote changed. I was no longer walking the strait and narrow out of fear of getting caught. I was walking it out of a desire to experience, and keep experiencing, the divine qualities.

After numerous spiritual experiences, (3) most of them toned down, I was definitely hooked. I wanted more, always more, and, I assert, that’s how the Company of Heaven keeps us all moving ever forward toward the ultimate reunion at the end. They give us spiritual experiences at key moments that reignite our desire to fulfill the purpose of life. (4)

But at the present moment it’s what keeps us all moving towards being fit to hold the higher vibrations of Ascension.

Michael acknowledged that the Company of Heaven moves us along. Let me cite him at length because this is information the world needs to hear:

Archangel Michael: One of the things we do is we also plant the longer view, so that a person who is involved in a highly complex situation — which this [Reval] is, by the way – because it is not just about money; it is not just about currency; it is about values — in key people we will plant the longer view.

We will inspire, if you wish to use that word, the longer view so that they have, like a flash of lightning, the understanding and all the steps to what can be accomplished many steps out if they simply do A, B, C and D.

And then what we do is we create circumstances — again, beyond the number of variables that you can humanly juggle, although there is that part of you that can assist, and does — but we create situations and combinations of energies that then allow that to come to fruition.

So it is akin to laying out the banquet table, knowing it will be a delightful feast — everything is prepared.

Now, can we make you eat? No. But usually — not always, but usually — the inspiration, the vision, the unfoldment that has been planted within is so beautiful and so clear that it is almost like a compulsion on the part of the individual, or in some situations, the group, to proceed in a certain direction. (5)

Leaders open to the Company of Heaven’s influence take note: Ask to be shown the longer view.

When I read his description, I remember that the vision I had in 1987 motivates me still. And a vision of our journey from God to God has to qualify as “the long view”!!!

There was nothing much to recommend living my life out of stepping over the line hoping not to be caught. I didn’t go on to become a professional crook. But there’s unimaginable benefit to be gained from experiencing the divine qualities.

Long journey, from boosting chocolate bars to here…. Long, long journey, he said wistfully….

Footnotes

(1) Once when I violated a very small rule in the building I live in, the fire alarm suddenly went off! Michael!

(2) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13/14.)

(4) As it was shown to me in a vision in 1987, the purpose of life for us is to realize who we are. When we do that, God meets God in the moment of our enlightenment and for that meeting was all of this created.
