The Issue of Power

When God wants you to get a particular message or theme in your life, I've noticed that it comes to you from multiple sources, back to back. Sometimes it comes in different forms that don't seem related, but if you watch this phenomena over years, you can go back and see exactly how the lesson was delivered.

For instance, understanding power clearly has been the lesson for me to focus upon this week, for myself, and for this blog apparently, because it has come up four times this past week. That's how God works, through a system some people call synchronicity, which is actually "hints" to pay attention to for those who can't hear directly,  and for those who can. The seeming coincidental events are actually messages about what is important, and should be paid attention to at this time, for whomever is experiencing the activities placed before them by the master chemist, God. For those of you who have read my book The Next God, I talk about this to some degree, the nature of God and our lessons.

So the lesson for this week began with my radio blog  August 15th, which was the discussion week about The Next God, with my readers, which we do once a month. A caller, a psychologist in Atlanta, asked about her clients who had been badly damaged through rape, and other atrocities and how they reacted to such. My answer was to say that our reactions, are always a matter of choice. She thought I was saying the "victim" was to blame, when I answered that most certainly not, but how the human spirit CHOSE to react to the situation was most definitely within their personal power and control, and it is. That is why one person can respond to rape by joining a rape prevention organization who helps others deal with it, and another person sits in their room for the rest of their lives and broods.

God designs our lesson plan in essence, from what I've been told, and we have to carry it out with the basic three directives:

Do no harm to self
Do no harm to others
Be the best human spirit that we can be at all times, and strive to grow always

So the issue of power within our particular lesson plan, as administered by God, is always available to us. We have the ability to respond to negative situations so that they work toward our growth, or not. When we remove a lot of the rote, taught, nonsensical noise from our heads in the form of teachings that do not honor these three primary directives, we increase our personal power exponentially. That means from whatever source it comes.

So I got the feeling that power might be the theme for the week, but wasn't sure, when a MySpace friend who had listened to the show last week, wrote to say she enjoyed it, and thanked me for helping her understand (abridged version) the voices better, and that she in fact hears voices. As I read her note, and listened to her stages, I realized that she was having some of the same experiences I had early on this route toward clairaudience -clear hearing. Again, it was about her gaining her personal power to communicate with her Guardian Angel first, or at least hear her first. When God is making a point, She knows we need several hints.

So yesterday, I was looking for a new song for the site, to go along with this week's blog, which was loosely developing about personal power, and decided (yeah right, most of is it being led by God)  to look for Marcus Miller's music, which I like, but seldom know the names of the songs unless they were famous before his time, like Ella's or Miles Davis' songs. And so what do I see as I look at the choices? The song "Power", which is on here now - the theme song for this blog today.

Okay, so I'd have to be really dull not to get this set of hints and thus a directive since He has made it so clear. (For those of you who have not read my book, I refer to God as He/She or It, because that is what God is - all energies that are available, and that we can be created from, not a male figure reaching down from the sky, but a brilliant all gendered/species energy source, so I've been told)

So the power to handle the lessons put before us, is entirely up to us. Not that we can always attract the things that we want, because frankly, if it is not part of God's lesson plan for this lifetime for us, it won't happen, but when things do happen, how we react to them elevates or potentially lowers our vibrations, and thus progress. Though we are not allowed to truly go backwards from what I've been told, we can have momentary setbacks in our classroom, and not take the high road, but choose the low road. Most of us get back on track and exercise our personal power to right ourselves again and continue our journey of growth.

It is when we do not choose to improve our vibratory level by getting back on track with the three primary directives, that we lose our power, literally, and if we stay there too long, God may remove us from this body state, back to pure spirit form so that we can revamp, assess and come back with a new lesson plan, or an adjusted one. That is God's job, to guide and direct our growth. Ours is to grow, and therein lies our personal power, in growth. It is there, in that light of expansion and forward movement that we are most powerful.

If you take away the focus of good and evil as the most prominent reasons for our development, and look at it as what I've been told, earth (and others) as a classroom to develop our understanding of the three directives through varying and repeated lessons, according to how quickly we get them, then it makes your use of your own personal power to execute the three directives even more necessary. It makes it essential that you are strong and powerful so that you can progress.

Allowing that I am actually hearing the messages that I am, from the sources I am, then our continued spirits, whether in human packaging or pure energy form must make the most of our power each time we come back to learn the next lesson. Releasing the human package form (body death) is not punishment, but either the completion of the tasks well done, or God's mercy and removing us from a situation that we are losing our power to do the three directives well, and making our lessons greater, and harder in the future. God won't let us regress, so we go to the home dimension till the next semester. In other words, we leave here when we get the lesson right this incarnation, and we leave here when we are in danger of messing up the lesson this incarnation, all at God's discretion.

Understanding this, the only real power we have is in our own careful choices in what we initiate, and what we react to. Therein lies our strength, power and speed of progress in this spiritual journey engineered and monitored by the God of our universe.
