A Simple Faith Relationship to the Universal Father of ALL
A Simple Faith Relationship to the
Universal Father of ALL
(Written June 5th, 2021)
It is the challenge of "conquest of self," until no longer there..
all the clever use of specialized skills and intentions laid bare
the choice is made to no more hide behind the dark twisting of truth...
simplicity of "living in the light" replaces beLIEf-view
In every moment of mortal life under this yellow sun...
it is, now, and forever my will, Father, that your will be done
it is no longer "I" that matters most in our daily affairs...
the mortal "I" cares about self... but it is "we" that shares
About giving back as much as possible before "transition day"...
no more living in illusion about how long you have to stay
in the moments before you disappear...there's no wondering "why?"
you did not give the "conquest of self" your all...before final "good-bye"
In every moment of mortal life under this yellow sun...
it is, now, and forever my will, Father, that your will be done
it is no longer "I" that matters most in our daily affairs...
the mortal "I" cares about self... but it is "we" that shares

Faith-Trust in God Began with My Grandmother 
My relationship with my Paradise Father began very early in my experience. I was closer to my grandmother than any of her own children. My younger brothers also showed little interest in the great wisdom grandmother offered to share with them.
Perhaps her children, because they had to go to work in tomato factories and iron mills at a very early age, saw anything their mother had to say as "interference" in their personal lives.
I don't know the truth of it, only that the distrust was obvious, juxtaposing their obvious willingness to "interfere" with an aging mother's life, often telling her what they thought was good for her.
My childhood was rich with observations of both nature and fellow hue-mans. From my grandmother I learned to observe both nature and others around me. She taught me that there was something to learn from everything and everyone.
Grandmother further taught me that to know God is to search for Him. How can you find God if you are not searching for Him within your own self?
Searching for God within Myself
I was sitting beside my grandmother during a Sunday evening church service when the choice was made.
For the first time, I consciously heard the pastor of the church talking about God and serving Him. In my child mind, a question arose.
I tugged on grandmother's cotton dress and asked her, Grandma, who is God?
She leaned over and whispered to me that "God is love, Timmy." I then told her that I want to be like God. She half cracked a chuckle, telling me that was good that I wanted to be like God, as I was looking at the pictures of ancient biblical art and drawings in her white Bible.
In that moment...something deepened within me. This decision set my course in life. And this deepening with each new decision to be more sincere and truer of character with myself has become...ever-momentary.
From the Simple to the Complex to the Simple
BeLIEf is complex. Faith is simple.
Oh, how easily we lose our way, replacing the simple faith of a child with the complexities of the adult mind!
From the moment we open our eyes in the material physiological energy form, we begin receiving programming that makes everything we intuit--hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch--an increasingly complex jungle of confusion.
Inside of this complex jungle of confusion it, more often than not, feels like there is no escape.
- There are dangerous beasts everywhere present.
- The very ground under your feet may open up and swallow you.
- One step into the swamp my suck you under and drown you.
- There is so much to fear in the jungle of confusion and so much anxiety to go along with being lost in it.
Those mortal children of God who beLIEve they must assert their own will, rather than seek God's will for them, "allowing" themselves to be "spirit-born" and "spirit-led," will never escape the jungle of confusion.
Complexity of thought and an accompanying internal "civil war" will be their lot in life to the very moment of transition out of the mortal body experience.
The simple will ever elude such confused mortal children of God.
Finding Your Way Back Out of the Complex to Rediscover the Simple
The answer to hacking your way out of confusion jungle and rediscovering the simple truth-meaning of your mortal life path existence is to "allow" yourself to be "spirit-led."
As long as you stubbornly refuse to "allow" yourself to be led by God's divine indwelling spirit, you will remain lost in confusion jungle.
Are you conscious aware of how many times you say to yourself and others...
- I need this. I need that.
- I wish this. I wish that.
- I desire this. I desire that.
- I will do this. I will do that.
- Don't try to change me. I will never change. I've always been this way.
- I'm going to do it my way, no matter what the cost.
- Come hell or high water, no one is going to tell me what to do.
We busy ourselves with one hundred and one details of daily living; the average hue-man child of God is said to have approximately fifty-thousand thoughts each and ever day.
The indwelling divine spirit's attempt to breakthrough this animal level inertia is comparable to calling someone you desperately want to reach and speak to, but always and ever get a busy signal.
Self-assertion Is a Terrible Thing to Taste
"As stubborn as a mule" is a time-tested truism when it comes to both the behavioral patterns of animals and hue-manimals. This may also be accurately referred to as having a belligerent nature. It is also understood as self-assertion.
What does it take to "allow" yourself to be "spirit-led?"
There are altogether twenty-eight evidences of being "spirit-led." These are principles of high mortal philosophy, which when internalized and lived by are also evidences of the attainment to twenty-eight virtues of manifested true character.
To undertake to discuss all twenty-eight in this exploration is too wieldy.
But here are a few examples:
1. Self-correction
At the most basic and beginning level of the mortal soul's struggle to acquire true character...
48:7.3 1. A display of specialized skill does not signify possession of spiritual capacity. Cleverness is not a substitute for true character.
To rise above mere "specialized skills" and "cleverness" is to be "spirit-led" into being truthful to oneself and to all others.
2. Self-control
48:7.4 2. Few persons live up to the faith which they really have. Unreasoned fear is a master intellectual fraud practiced upon the evolving mortal soul.
To rise above fear-beLIEf-anxiety is to be "spirit-led" into a simple faith-trust in God's will for your mortal life-path experiences. The spirit-led child of God is no longer self-deceiving and does not deceive other children of God. This is the level of the practice of self-discipline and self-control.
3. Soul-direction (self-direction toward being "spirit-led")
48:7.5 3. Inherent capacities cannot be exceeded; a pint can never hold a quart. The spirit concept cannot be mechanically forced into the material memory mold.
4. Self-mastery (spirit domination over mind and matter)
48:7.6 4. Few mortals ever dare to draw anything like the sum of personality credits established by the combined ministries of nature and grace. The majority of impoverished souls are truly rich, but they refuse to believe it.
"Allowing" yourself to be ever-momentarily "spirit-led" is to rise to that level of self-mastery wherein you are "conscious of the consciousness of being conscious." This is the level of spirit-domination over mind and matter.
In this supreme state of spiritual attainment, the fully "spirit-led" child of God "sees" that everything in his possession which is the cosmic value that his life and relationship to God, his other mortal children, and to the universe is a "gift" from the Universe Creator Himself.
The very "life force" that brings the hue-manimal body into existence is a "gift" from God.
The hue-manimal body in which to experience material existence, to make decisions, to become increasingly more sincere, to grow the soul for life on the semi-spirit worlds to come, and to become a cosmic child of true character and nobility is a "gift" from God.
The very mind with which to live, move and have our being in the material life form is a "gift" from God.
The personality itself is a "gift" from God.
The divine spirit which indwells the hue-man mind is a "gift" from God.
The ability to be creative and to make one's life path increasingly more meaningful, and enjoyable for both oneself and others is a "gift" from God.
All of these "gifts" and many more are the "true riches" of the "truth-led," "spirit-led," true character child of God.
And to rise above the belligerent self-assertion of the mortal hue-manimal is realize within oneself the "conquest and victory" over the purely mechanical level of physiological consciousness.
