An Upper Realm Opinion About Big Business

Friday, April 30th, 2010

What Do You Think Of Big Business and Corporations In The World Today?

“They are inevitable and they are neutral as far as the company, itself, goes. But the problem lies within the hearts and within the scope of the individuals in charge. Negatively-oriented people create mini-dynasties with power or riches as their only goal. So the absolute measure of a country or a corporation is determined by the spiritual character of the human beings making it up.

A corporation is actually neither physical nor spiritual. It’s an amalgamation of effort towards a certain goal, and it has a personality engendered by the philosophy that guides its actions. This is a volatile sort of personality because it can sometimes be changed. Inevitably, its character plays out throughout its existence as a force of progress or a force of expedience for its owners.

And this is really a magnification of its corporate identity, made up of fallible and mallable human beings. So, big business is simply the result of national and global growth and it cannot be prevented. As society expands, so will its problems or its assets. The good ones will endure; the negative ones will surely create problems but will eventually fall under their own weight. So, I have no opinion, except that they must exist in global societies and they are thermometers by which I measure the health of the communities on the planet.”

This is a quotation of The Holy Spirit about the current state of modern business. It’s an excerpt from my new, soon-to-be published book, In Secret Diffusion: The Upper Realm Answers Questions About Earth.

A Quote From My New Book – Two Possible Questions Behind Creation

Monday, April 26th, 2010

This is a small sample from my new book: In Secret Diffusion: The Upper Realms Answer Questions About Earth. I have been very busy lately, finishing up the manuscript and getting it ready for the printer. We have had delays, but I’m hoping that the book will soon be in my hands and also available for sale on the internet and in major bookstores. I’ll let you know when that happy day arrives. Meanwhile, you can find a few chapters showing up here from time to time.

 TWO POSSIBLE QUESTIONS BEHIND CREATION

Creation might simply be the result of two questions which arose in the Mind of God, Who is also known as The Great Creative Force, long before He had begun His creating. Pondering His own perfection, He wondered how He, Himself, would deal with the intricacies and challenges of being contained within a limited material existence. There was only one way to find out, so He began to separate off tiny particles of His own Mind to form the consciousness of all matter. Soon, there was a universe to populate with Beings, each of which contained a measure of The One Consciousness. Now the experiment could begin and God asked the First Question:

1. How would I behave under any given situation?

Then, He began to watch Himself. His creatures had free will to behave as they wished, only being required to operate within the limits imposed by their physical situation.

Then, God asked the Second Question:

2. “Could I, would I, be able to turn around and recognize Myself from inside of all those given situations? Would I even be capable of belief in God when I could not clearly see through the murk of materiality?”

The experiment has been going on for a long time. What would you say that the answers to those two simple questions have turned out to be?

Creator, Creator, Creator! Create! Evidence Of A Praying Bird?

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

I have this wise little male Cardinal living in my yard who calls out to The Creator throughout the day.  Sometimes, he just calls our His Name, “Creator! Creator! Creator!,” and other times, he also throws in the strong command to Create!”Creator, Creator, Creator, Creator! Create!”

Once in awhile, the “Create” on the end of the string of names, sounds like a question as it inflects upward at the end of the sentence. He has a clear and vibrant, no-nonsense voice.

His dowdy little brown wife sings another version very fast and with an accent. Her song sounds like “Creeder, creeder, creeder.” I’ve never heard her add the “Create!” to the end of her sentences.

For months, I simply enjoyed hearing him singing his prayers in the oak trees in my yard, but one day, I surprised us both by answering with my own copy of his call. I could hear him stop to take stock of this new bird in the yard. Then, he began to throw his math at me by increasing the number of times he repeated the word Creator, varying it between one and five repetitions. I would copy his string, exactly.

Then, he changed to the Spanish Cardinal language: “Creat-TOR!” with that little tongue-twirl on the last syllable.

I enjoyed the idea that our two species were communicating. We usually had long conversations this way.

But, it is springtime, and perhaps my fine-feathered friend was simply uttering up his mating prayer asking for the ability to create many new little Cardinals. Perhaps he didn’t welcome the idea of another singer in his yard, sounding like a male in tone and verse.

I believe that this might be the case because the side mirrors on both of our vehicles soon became the subject of much attack. Now I’ve had to cover them with plastic bags and rubber bands to prevent the inevitable white bird droppings down the side of the doors and the evidence of wing smudges on the windows, as he tries vainly to get a toehold at the base of the mirrors in order to attack this beautiful red rival.

He tends to bash his beak on any sort of reflection of himself, whether it is a patio door or a shiny mirror left outside. So, I think I must leave off this thought of literal communion with nature and let him have his little wife all to himself. Maybe if I start saying “Creeder, creeder, creeder!” he wouldn’t be so upset.

But, she would!

Finding Fellow Travelers From My Hammock

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

I have just spent the last few hours enjoying the late afternoon sun stretched out in a Nicaraguan hammock slung in the big oak tree in my front yard. I laughed aloud, chuckled softly, cried from time to time, nodded and “um-hummed” as I recognized myself in all of the brief stories I was reading in the new book propped on my chest. Sunshine and the shadow of a banana tree leaf moved gently across the page. Children played in the park nearby, birds sang. Life felt good and I felt surrounded by a world-full of friends who were all sharing the magical moment when they first had heard the Voice of God within their own quiet head.

My guide on this personal exploration of inner life was DavidPaul Doyle, author of When God Spoke To Me: The Inspiring Stories of Ordinary People Who Have Received Divine Guidance And Wisdom who saw his book go to the top of the charts and become a bestseller as soon as it was released. I’m only halfway finished with reading it, and I can certainly understand why it has become so instantly popular. Think of every great inspirational Reader’s Digest or Guideposts story that has ever brought a catch to your throat or a tear to your eye and then multiply that by more than seventy and you will get some idea of the power of this book.

However, each story is kept to the theme of a personal moment when God spoke, individually, to that person, whether in actual words or pointed coincidence, a great wash of feeling or a rainbow-colored, feather-shaped cloud in the sky. If a formal religious affiliation is even mentioned, it’s only in passing, if there’s a reason to include it in the story. The book proves that it is not necessary to belong to any particular creed to have a long-term, one-on-one, love affair with God or The Holy Spirit. Nobody is “witnessing” here and most are opening up in print for the very first time.

His first book,The Voice For Love: Accessing Your Inner Voice To Fulfill Your Life’s Purpose, had such a profound impact that Doyle and his wife, Candace, now travel the world speaking and teaching others how to hear God’s Voice for themselves. Soon, many people offered their own personal stories of moments when their lives changed forever because of this unmistakable connection. They are not testimonials of what happened as a result of the book, but are all over the map in method and background. It seems that this is happening to people in great numbers. Maybe it has been, all along, but only recently have the means been invented for us all to get our heads together about it.

That has certainly been true for me. Here, I thought I was so daring to make such a claim! And now, I look around and find out that it’s a MOVEMENT and I’m well in the back of the pack with the book I’m planning to release in May…or whenever the interminable publishing process finally completes. In case you hadn’t heard by reading my previous posts, the name of my second book is In Secret Diffusion: The Upper Realm Answers Questions About Earth. Someday, I hope that DavidPaul Doyle will help me introduce my book to the world because we certainly are talking about the same thing. I’ll send him a hot-off-the-press copy of it and hope he will see fit.

In the meantime, I plan to submit my own story of awakening because he has a back page inviting people to do just that. Surely, that’s how this second book came about. The many authors of When God Spoke To Me are all of the regular people who responded to that request the first time around. After the one-page introduction, DavidPaul stays in the background and lets them talk – story after heart-touching story.

This is a good, non-religious, highly-spiritual book…but I notice many testimonials which say it’s used in sermons. Trust me, you’ll like it. More and more, I will inevitably become a funnel to recommend some of these great wide-open Godly books because my marketing research is bringing me into contact with them. It’s a huge, fantastic flood…and nobody’s trying to convert any more. That’s passe’. That’s so yesterday! They are all saying: “Go inside of your own head, your own heart and listen!” This is so refreshing! Believe me, that method works!

I’m still reading Robert Schwartz’ Your Soul’s Plan that I reported on in my last post. It is just as wonderful in an entirely complementary way, and it opens another subject which I mention in my own book: how we plan the details of our life before birth. When you get to that website, be sure to move your cursor over the box that says ABOUT THE BOOK. It will lead you to many more pages of his great website.

Three more books along the same line, wait on my desk for reading, so watch this space for more adverts. But now that my own formatted book manuscript is ready for proofing, the only book I’ll be reading in the next few weeks will be my own. However, due to this new internet book recommending channel I have found, I shall probably continue to order many great volumes to wait until I come up for air. I’ll probably need an entire year to lie in my hammock doing nothing but reading, crying, and chuckling. Yay!
