How Come?

How Come?

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 17, 2024

Jesus was God, but he acted like it. How come I don’t?

If everything is God, then we must be God. If we are God, then why do we … OK, I … not act like it? (1)

The Divine Mother and Michael say we are all angels, without exception, though incarnated in human physical bodies this lifetime, with all their ills. That’s how important this Ascension is:

Divine Mother: Let me be clear. There is not one being – human, starseed, hybrid or earthkeeper – that is not one of my Angelic Beings. And it matters not whether you belong to the Legion of Michael or the Tribe of Uriel, the Praisers of Metatron or the Truth Speakers of Gabrielle. It does not matter your colour, your hue. You are my Angels, birthed from my being – birthed not only from my womb, but from my heart.  (2)

Archangel Michael: At this interception moment of ascension and shift, all present upon the planet, from what has been judged as the most egregious to the most saintly, are angelics. (3)

If we are a gathering of such magnitude – all angelics whatever dimension or civilization we’ve chosen in the past to incarnate in for a while – why do we – and especially I – not act like it?

What else are we … am I … waiting for? A ticker-tape parade? The heavens to descend. A chorus of angels? (We ARE angels.)

***

When we make war on each other, God is fighting God. When we rape and pillage, God is raping and pillaging God. After all, God is everything that is.

If I am God, as you are God, how come I’m not getting what I just said? If I’m getting what I just said, how come I’m not acting like it?

Never mind asking uncomfortable questions. I get paid to ask them.

I’m pointing at the merest logical operation here. No pre-requisite required for understanding: If God is all there is, you and I must be God. If we are, how come we don’t act like it?

Like starting right now.

What a challenge that is – even contemplating….

I have the plain and simple truth staring me in the face (we are all God) and only my resistance to owning it is keeping me unsurrendered.

There is No One That Isn’t

There is No One That Isn’t

By Steve Beckow

Posted on June 25, 2024

Do you notice that – awake or sleeping, in good times or bad – you are always there? If you stayed awake through the process of death, our informants tell us, you’d see you’re still there even then. (1) And happily so.

The discipline that pursues the question. “who am I” I call the awareness path. Its basic agreement is always to remain aware of one’s self.

The “you” that’s always there is of course the Self. If the Self were anything else than “always there,” it’d not be eternal. Not eternal is part of creation. Anything created is not the Self and hence not what we’re looking for. (2)

***

Not what we’re looking for? What do you mean? What are we looking for and why?

Long-time readers will know where I’m going. What we’re looking for is in fact that very Self. At whatever level you’re looking at and whatever you want to call it – the Self, No-Self, All Self, the One, they all point at and to the same phenomenon: God.

So to rephrase: We are God. All of us? Yes.

It turns out that everything conscious that’s been created seeks to know who it is. There’s a built in longing for the goal of that quest. (3) We call that longing “desire.”

I say “desire” as if it covers all desires. We find, in the higher dimensions, that the real object of all our desires is in fact God, or Love, or Truth and that living in the love that exists there satisfies all our bodily and worldly desires.

I imagine that our desires for anything but the answer to our need to know who we are subsides and eventually vanishes until we succeed in our quest.

Until then, we only want more love; i.e., “more” God. We continue moving through the dimensions, “closer” and “closer,” we believe, to the omnipresent One.

***

Why all this? Why was life designed this way?

As I learned on March 13, 1987, when I was given a vision while driving my car, God wanted to know Itself, to meet Itself. (4) And that’s no easy matter when you’re the only thing that is. No one to sit down and have coffee or play tennis with.

And so God created life – specifically, life forms – from Itself, from Its own consciousness. God gave them all the mission of discovering who they really are. When one of them discovers that they are God, in that moment of their enlightenment, God meets God.

So that God could meet God, so that God could talk with God, so that God could create with God – in the same way a parent does a child, I suspect – was the reason that all of this, seen and unseen, was created.

We are given the one and only mission of finding out who we truly are. Not just knowing it. You are God. There. What difference did “knowing” that make?

We have to rise up through the intellectual level, through the experiential level to the realizational level. We have to realize that we are God. That moment of realization is when God meets God.

For me, this is the starting point of anything I do, think, or say: Who am I? Who am I really? Who is it that speaks, acts, feels? I look out on others now and see that they too are embarked on the same quest, lifetime after lifetime.

We are united in who we are (God) – and in seeking That, behind every desire. We’re united in where we’re journeying to (“Reunion” with God). We’re united in being thoroughly constructed, in our created parts, from Love, held together by the Laws of Love, and freed from any bondage by the Truth.

There is no one that isn’t God incarnated. We are not simply children of God. We are the One Itself.

(2) Hindu sages practice the discipline of acknowledgeing “neti, neti.” Not this, not this. When everything created is acknowledged and let go of, what one is left with is God.

This process does not have to take a lifetime. In my view, the practice of neti, neti creates an attitude that invites enlightenment.

For the Love of (the) God (that We Are)

For the Love of (the) God (that We Are)

By Steve Beckow

Time out for something completely different.  And then we’ll return to our discussion of leadership.

I regard society – and myself – as being in the cosmic wash cycle right now.

Every bit of dirt seems to be pushing up to be released. It’s their graduation too, I hear my mind say.

We moulded the infinitely-malleable love, of which everything is made, into the shape and qualities of a nightmare (or not!) and then smothered our memory of our actions with quite-ordinary lethargy (Sanskrit, thamas) (see 1) to create forgetfulness.

This is perfectly normal. We can’t carry in our conscious awareness everything we see and do. A computer can’t have every program and file open at the same time. It has only so much memory in RAM (random access memory), as opposed to ROM (read-only memory), which has much more memory, offline, so to speak.

We need our everyday awareness of 3/4D – our situational awareness, focus of attention, or RAM – to be uncluttered so shunting things out of it to memory or ROM is quite normal and common. “What’s next?” we ask ourselves, when ready.

Going in the other direction, if our memory works these days – we have to think and bring back from it the details of a past thing or event.

We have to furnish the memory with the coordinates of the original thought or action: Search under “coincidences.” Look under “old friends.” Find images associated with the way I feel right now.

Working away at this process day after day and responding to it, we fashion a mental/emotional world in which we live – forget about the physical world – which is for us either a nightmare or heaven-on-Earth or somewhere in between, depending on our overall attitude.

Our overall attitude is in turn fashioned from our history of impactful events (the day we left my Father, the day my Mother died, etc.).  These become core issues or, in Vedantic or non-dualistic terms, vasanas.

Changing my vote – long ago now, it seems – from a negative outlook to a positive one (2) seems to fit with the overall Plan of life: The Mother sending us from Father God to Father God via her world of matter (mater, Mother) so that Father/Mother God can have an experience of Themselves. In a moment of our enlightenment/enjoyment, God meets God. This – everything seen and unseen – has been created solely for that meeting. (3)

One can well laugh like a buddha when one sees that. Life is not about trauma and drama. Life is about sharing love. Well, isn’t that what happens when God meets God?  Where is the need for struggle to fulfill the purpose of life?

Life goes in the direction of increasing love, peace, joy, compassion, etc. No, not everyday life on this Fourth Dimension, but spiritual life – life over ages, over many lifetimes. It goes in the direction of increasing love, peace, etc.  (4) That’s the purpose of having higher and higher dimensions, isn’t it? To keep us moving forward, from God to God?

Dimensions of expansion. Of releasing more and more encumbrances, more and more barriers to the love of (the) God (that we are).

Until we know without a doubt the truth of the statement that we are God. What’s not to like?

Footnotes

(1) The Mother works her magic through three cosmic forces or gunas: the creative (the guna of rajas, represented by Brahma), the preservative (sattwa, Vishnu), and transformative (thamas, Shiva). In our case, thamas or lethargy blankets us and removes a thing or event from active memory, situational awareness, or the focus of our attention.

A Journey of Remembrance

A Journey of Remembrance

by Steve Beckow

Posted on January 8, 2024

Now I can’t stop writing!

We are spirits within a body, embarked on the same One Journey from God to God.

Ours is a journey of remembrance of our identity as the One, embodied.  We provide the One with experience – our experience. Growth for us is increasing remembrance of who we are.

We’ve had our memories veiled and, if we purify ourselves of densifying thoughts and emotions one lifetime after another, we gradually return, by recollection, more and more to our divine selves.

When one of us realizes their true Self, God meets God. The creation was made as a school of experience to lead us to that consummation. It’s a school of matter (mater, Mother).

All the teachings creation offers, all the lessons learned, all the rewards gained can be summarized in a single word: Love.

Take a divine mixing bowl. Put all our thoughts and feelings into it, add all our actions and intentions, sweeten it, add salt and mix well until it forms dough. And bake it.

Now you ask me: What shall we call it? (Love.) What are its ingredients? (Love.)

Love creates, preserves and transforms creation. Love provides the building blocks and the tools of transformation.  Love provides the solvent into which creation subsides.

Among the things it creates are the divine qualities. Appropriate to different settings, moods, and actions, the divine qualities are also made of love. With an added dimension, a different spice.

But that’s a subject unto itself….
