"Especially, in Times of Material Turmoil, God is More Accessible because... The Degree of Difficulty is Greater."

God Poet Transmitting.......

Religious traditions and the Cromwellian bureaucrats and functionaries that manipulate them, in the time-weary marketplaces of deceit, exhaustively complicate the matter and turn the populations round and round on a wheel of confusion. They provide them with ritual, dogma, and cant, the dry husk of what might once have been a living thing. Anyone with any intelligence will eventually walk away. The generally incompetent that are incapable of original thought, while away the centuries spinning prayer wheels... bobbing their heads up and down while they murmur incantations which lost all meaning way back and long ago, or listen to mind-numbing sermons from men who dream of violating children.

God is a living thing! God is THE living thing, without which NOTHING else would be alive because God is the life in all things. God is the blood... the sap that runs through the tributary veins of humans... animals... trees and the like. God is deep asleep in The Mineral Kingdom, and... by degrees... more and more awake as he ascends the ladder of consciousness. God is always God wrapped in his own mystery and apart, BUT... also... very much in everything at the level it is existing on. God is the mirror reflection for whatever degree of comprehension anything is in possession of.

God is simplicity itself, while at the same time, giving birth to endless complexities of form. You have to trace the way back to what you emerged from so very long ago. You have to cut down the intricate systems of thought that exercise a stranglehold on your consciousness. Once again, this is the reason for the admonition to become as a little child.

You are an adytum. You were created to be an adytum, a place of holiness in the midst... to possess a central core of stillness. It is the place where God dwells within. It is the residence of Emmanuel. You do not need to light a candle to see your way. You do not have to hammer at the walls to gain a response. You do not need to whine and moan about God’s absence. At no time is God not already there. If you can’t hear or feel God, then you must adjust your receiver. This is why you have The Dial. You must tune to the frequency. God has been speaking on that frequency since Creation began.

It should be a given that if you are listening to The World, then you cannot hear God. Our ears are tuned to The World upon our arrival. For many... it is all they hear... all their life long. The more that Materialism advances, the harder it is to hear The Voice of The Silence, AKA, The Still Small Voice. There is an eternal hum of unity from which Creation came to be. When you can hear that, you are in tune with Creation. That is not The Still Small Voice. The one is the impersonal resonance of The Presence of God. The other is the personal voice of God as it applies to you.

It is not necessary to get into the technology of this. You do not have to know how something works in order to operate it. If that were the case, there would be fewer people driving cars.

The problem is hearing the voice. It should be remembered... always... that God was trying to reach you long before you thought about reaching God. Therefore, you need only be open. It takes practice and it takes persistence to finally open... or have opened... The Inner Ear. When God wants your attention, sometimes he will use trials and trauma to get it. When he goes through the trouble to do so, you are of a singular importance to him, and he is actively in pursuit of you. Otherwise, he will simply shrug and leave you to your indulgences. Let me include here one of my favorite statements: "These three are difficult to obtain in this world and depend on the mercy of the gods- the human birth, the desire for salvation, and the company of the great-souled ones."

God knows very well, and far better than we do, our state of readiness and interest. Sometimes, God wants us for a specific task, and we will be in the process of being made fit well before it ever comes to our attention. God is always way ahead of you since he is The Alpha and The Omega. You have only to put yourself in a state of openness and wait. God will... eventually... show up. I call it practicing The Presence of God. You act like he is right there, even if you have no evidence of that. It must matter to you, or you wouldn’t do it otherwise.

Most especially, in Times of Material Turmoil, God is more accessible because The Degree of Difficulty is greater. Finding God is the most important thing you will ever accomplish. You need to know that it is God that does everything and we do nothing but permit God to operate in and through us. This IS the difficult art, and as I have said time and time again, you only have to want this more than anything else. That is the single criterion. Period. Want God more than anything else, and you have met the requirement. God WILL take it from there.

It varies from person to person. It might be long and arduous. It might be a breeze. However... if it is a breeze, that means it was long and arduous at an earlier time. We all have different degrees of resistance to The Presence of God. You may think you are not resisting, BUT... there is a whole area of our being that we know very little about. This is why persistence is so important. Think of it this way: while you are digging out, God is digging in. You are God’s supreme project and more important than you think. You need only look at the state of The World to see this.

Many people turn away from God because he puts us in The Mailroom or The Kitchen to start out (as above... so below). We think we are more qualified than that, and that part of us that is under that particular spell is what needs to be addressed first. This is one of the reasons that we are often hammered into the dirt at the beginning or at the end of the process of refinement. It is very necessary for us to know what we are leaving and... to be convinced that we should not fall back into The Dark Splendor. Those who do not readily embrace Humility at the earliest opportunity WILL BE humbled. Spare yourself the need for this, even though you will be getting some amount of it regardless. (grin)

You can put on the funny robes. You can consider yourself upwardly mobile in the temporal hierarchy. You can rise to a high position from which to fall. It won’t mean shit to Heaven. Heaven was very clear about the least being first. Anything you need to know on the way is present in the scripture of every tradition, BUT stay simple. As Lao Tzu said, “leave off fine learning” Find bedrock. Find that common denominator, which is Impersonal Love. The Sun demonstrates this all day long. There is a wealth of understanding that can be gleaned from the statement about becoming as a little child.

It is a long, hard struggle through resisting landscapes. Although the language is very archaic, and someone really ought to modernize it... The Pilgrim’s Progress lays it out very nicely. Many are called, but few are chosen, and that is because very few of the called possess the necessary fortitude and perseverance to keep on keeping on. Yet again... you have to love it. You must be inspired by it. Otherwise, you will fall by the wayside.

The personal resistance has to end. Time... over the long run... takes care of that. Time is the water that wears away the stone. It is also what polishes it. Occasionally, I will have something in my hand. It could be a piece of wood or a TV remote. I will rub it with my thumb for periods of time, not really thinking about it. Eventually, it becomes smooth and shiny in the places where I rubbed it with my thumb.

One tradition says to pray without ceasing. Another says to practice The Presence of God. Another suggests that you control your thoughts. All of these imply a consistency of application, and... success is speedy for the energetic. If you just keep at it, you will get there, keeping in mind that you are already there, but... just don’t know it. I tell you these things because I know them to be true, and the outcome is a joy beyond the telling. You really are going to want to do this more than anything else, and it will protect you from the travails of aging and many another hardship of the mind and the heart.

When one is young, there is this sense of invulnerability and the idea that you can do anything. Life will disabuse you of your illusions, even while you hold them tighter to you. You need The Light to see where you are going. I can’t stress this... or so many of these other advisories... enough. The time comes when the truth of it dawns on everyone, and often... as if at the command of a mysterious law... when you have traveled too far out of the way. I see it all the time, BUT... given my Hermetic nature... indirectly or at a distance these days.

Telescopes and microscopes... telescopes and microscopes. Kaleidoscopes and white featureless walls. Here and there. Now and then. Coiling and uncoiling. Hurry up and wait. Materialism will... assuredly make you insane and leave you believing in nothing. The agony that people put themselves through astounds me. There is a better and more certain way, and...

...one last thing.
