.:|:. Dove Love’s .:. Points and Passions .:|:.

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  Watching ole Charlton Heston (damn, he’s good) play Moses in that movie, “The Ten Commandments.”   A movie I’ve seen so many times since I was a kid.  I’ve always liked it, only now it’s a blessing that I no longer feel even a hint of fear in watching it, unlike when I was a bible-pounding kid.  I see it so differently now…

That line jumped out at me that the Pharaoh spoke.  He was angry that “the slave’s god” was clearly kicking their god’s ass, lol ;)  And to his priests or whatever, he angrily said something like, “You created the gods — to play upon the fear of the people.”  Indeed, all “gods” are fabricated for this reason.  That’s probably the best and most telling line of the movie.

Sitting here watching this, good-gawd, no wonder most people are so horrified of “God.”  Another line that got me, Moses telling his former love that he couldn’t save her child (firstborn of the Pharaoh) because he was “nothing without God.”  Again, no wonder with such things spoken in this type of movie — watching it over and over, year after year (more people watching it than reading the bible) — no wonder we are so self-loathing.  No wonder our world looks the way it does, no wonder we endeavor to destroy it, ourselves.  We believe we are nothing.  So sad. 

It’s all so misconstrued, twisted around into BS — “to play upon the fear of the people.”  No, Moses is nothing without “God,” because Moses IS “God.”  We all are, this is what Moses meant.  This body is a shell, nothing — it is the “spirit” within that is real, is “God.”  And it is us who have personified this thing called ”God” into a fiery-eyed one, separate from us — who supposedly loves us one minute, but is highly wrathed up about us the next. 

The scene that really gets me in the gut is where they are eating the herbs and bread.  Sitting there hearing (trying to ignore) the unnerving cries from a distance of the mothers and fathers watching their children die.  One man in the house with Moses’ is singing!  Yee-haw, rejoice — God’s green stuff is killing children!  Good-gawd.  And then the woman (mother of the Pharaoh, former mother of Moses) is pained by the cries and says, “They’re my people.”  Another of Moses’ people leans over to her and says sweetly, “We’re all God’s people.”  Uh.  It’s okay, hon, God knows what he’s doing in killing those children.  Geez.

When ya’ know it’s all symbolic, this movie is so much easier to watch — yet, at the same time, unnerving in the realization that so many of us believe this represents literal truth.  Moses says that he cannot save the Pharaoh’s firstborn, that the Pharaoh brought it upon himself with HIS OWN WORDS.  Not God’s words, but the Pharaoh’s own words.  Meaning, we create our own reality.  The Pharaoh wished this upon others, and since we are all God, he wished it upon himself… (”karma”)

All the children supposedly being killed by the green death-smoke — it wasn’t about death, it was about transformation.  Again, symbolic.  Interestingly, green is the color of the heart chakra, it’s about healing, it’s about love.  We “die” to (become free of) our old selves when we heal our hearts, and we become something new (transformation, aka, “death”). 

And the absurdity of this Pharaoh not letting the people go after Moses shows him some heady stuff from our “God” :)  I mean, geez, he changed the water to frickin’ blood, even the container of water that the Pharaoh held.  No water for seven days, then the three days of darkness, and that cool fiery hail ;)  How stupid could the Pharaoh be to not give Moses whatever the hell he wanted, lol   Not reality — it is all symbolic messages.   The Pharaoh represents our fear, and how our fear has an irrational death-grip on us (”let my people go.”)  And we allow our fear to have this hold on us — represented by Moses leaving each time.

It’s ALL about us, collectively, and individually.  We are very much NOT “nothing,” we are God :)  We are both Moses and the Pharaoh — it is fear, and only fear, that enslaves us.  We need only to “worship” (love) and believe in the “God” that is within us, that is us.  We need only to face the ”Pharaoh” (fear) within us and set ourselves free from it.  Only then will we truly “know God” (love and trust our own hearts) and get to “heaven” (peace, and creating the blissful lives we desire). 

*Yawn*  It’s time to wake up, to snap out of the brainwashing, the fear, that has kept us as slaves.  ”Fear not.”  “There is NOTHING to fear, but fear itself.”  (Pharaoh = Fear, Moses = Love, Freedom)

“Let my people go.”

Well, that’s what I saw upon arriving to work this morning ;)  Yet another spiral — been getting that symbol a lot lately, including in a recent pic I created.  No, the one I saw this morning was not a vision, heh, it was on the cover of Family Circle actually.  One of my favorite mystical symbols, the star, was there too.  Both were among a bunch of fancy and highly-sugary treats on display.

Upon finding the magazine here on my desk, I immediately zeroed in on the chocolatey spiral that one of the treats formed on a background of something minty-colored.  It’s one of those rolls sliced — formed with different layers of stuff, rolled up and cut — and voila, a spiral.  The star is a giant cookie, looks like a couple of layers of butter cookie, apricot jelly showing through the star opening in the center, white sugar-powder all around it.   Okay, none of that was really relevant to my post, but it was fun describing it, lol

The Universe has such a “sweet” sense of humor ;)  Again, this spiral symbol, I keep getting it lately — even last night was reading a blog that spoke of it…  Been wondering what the Universe is trying to tell me with it.  But with this one, with the fabulous star symbol and the “sweetness” of the whole presentation, it’s gotta be a very positive thing.  Not that I doubted that :) 

So I’ve been searching for various meanings of the spiral and finally came upon one that I strongly resonate with.  I’ve posted a few excerpts here with the link to the article.  It’s a great article, called “A Glimpse of the Spiral as a Symbol for the Transcendental Mystery of God” by Paula Vaughan.  (Note, everything inside the two lines like this ====== are all excerpts from this one article.)

====================================

Archetypal Symbols
Carl Jung, the founder of Depth Psychology, helped reconcile the unconscious and conscious halves of his patients’ psyches by studying symbols found through dream analysis and spontaneous artistic expression, thereby enabling people to heal. He proposed that symbols appear when there is a need to express what thought cannot think or what is only divined or felt (Storr, p. 249). Jung said that when we attempt to understand symbols, we are not only confronted with the symbol itself but we are brought up against the wholeness of the symbol-producing individual who is in touch with his unconscious (Jung, p. 92). He explained:

Spirals in nature, the body, brain and soul reflect our kinship with God. Jung said the spiral shows there is nothing but God — man is God become concrete (Storr, pp.344-345). The spiral represents the cyclical ebb and flow of God’s energy that is always moving the collective mind, body and spirit of humanity toward balance and health. God’s existence is witnessed through spiral archetypes in art, dreams, symbols and the synchronous, collective unconscious that bridges the gaps of culture, time, space, and reality.

Wonderful article.  Much more, I highly recommend going to the site and reading it all.

Earlier today I was having a little discussion with a fellow wordpresser, and we kinda disagreed about a few things with regard to “God” and such.  He feels there is a separate “God,” I don’t.  I believe that we are collectively that which is “God,” or “All-That-Is.”  He discounted the power of our emotions, whereas I believe our emotions are exceedingly powerful…  He didn’t change my mind, but he did get kinda angry for some reason when I expressed my views :) 

I then felt compelled to “ask the Universe” this question.  It popped into my mind to do a Google search with “Abraham-Hicks God.”  I haven’t read much of the Abraham material, but I always liked seeing pictures of these people, Jerry and Esther Hicks — they’re always smiling :)   That’s telling.  Ya’ look at these people, and then look at the fearful, angry Bible-pounders.  Is it really that difficult to tell who’s actually got it goin’ on?  :) 

I totally resonate with “the point” being about JOY.  Why would anyone want to believe otherwise?  Oh, that hell thing.  Yep, a life filled with fear and eagerly awaiting til ya’ can say, “Told ya’ so, I’m in Heaven and you’re frying in Hell — haha!”  lol   Alrighty then.  

As delightful as a life like that sounds (heh), a life that is all about joy and following wherever joy leads ya’ … knowing you are loved completely (no matter what) by the “Universe” …  And it’s always trying it’s best to get the joyful stuff to ya’.  The only thing stopping it is our wicked old beliefs of not being worthy — invariably rooted in that dreadful religious BS.

Anyway, it tickled me to see the very first line of the very first entry that came up in doing that search…   Abraham:  “To know that you are God.”  :)  (This was Abraham’s response to, “What is my purpose?” — see excerpts below)  Not that I needed confirmation, but I felt compelled to do that search, and perhaps it was simply so as to share this with whoever feels inclined to read this.  This is also kinda spurring me to study Abraham’s teachings. 

Here’s some of what I came upon at their site…

===================================

The Teachings of Abraham

“Words do not teach. True knowing comes from life experience. We offer these words, that they might stimulate your thinking. Truly, a teacher is a stimulator of thought.” - Abraham

JOY is the point.

Abraham speaks to the heart.

They teach that life is supposed to be fun. They say that is what you intended before you got here.

They teach that you can be, do, or have anything you want.

They say YOU create your own reality and the universe is simply reflecting back to you the essence of how you’re feeling about it!

Joseph Campbell said, “Follow your bliss.” Abraham shows you where you left your compass.

Your compass? Your emotions.

==============================

If God Would Answer, What Would You Ask?

Jerry: A newspaper this morning had a survey of what adults would ask of God, or a Supreme Being, if they could get a direct and immediate answer. And so I thought I’d ask you the questions:

What Is My Purpose?

Jerry: For 35% of them, this was their question: “What is my purpose here?”

Abraham: To know that you are God.

Jerry: Could you embellish that a little?

Abraham: What is my purpose, as a physical being, coming forth into a physical time/space reality? Your purpose is to chew on the contrast for the purpose of giving birth to a unique new desire in this moment that will summon Life Force or Energy toward it.

Contrast exists. You don’t get brownie points or anything for that. And you don’t get any for the desire that is born out of the contrast, because that’s the natural process. And so, once the contrast has produced desire within you, and the desire is summoning Life Force unto it, your work is to align with that Energy.

 Your objective is to seek joy. Your objective is to find appreciation or pleasure or positive thought from wherever you stand, no matter how you got there. And when you align with that Energy, you are fulfilling your purpose. And then the twists and turns that your experience will take are dependent upon your willingness to allow yourself exposure to contrast. In other words, you cannot get it wrong.

Life After Death?

Jerry: And 19% of them asked, “Will I have life after death?”Abraham: Yes, because life is eternal, of course. There is no ending to any of that. And even if, from your physical perspective, you do not know that or understand that, in the moment you make your transition back into Nonphysical, you will know it fully.

It’s not life after death, because there is no death. It’s just life, life, life, life, always life — different perspectives of it.

Why Does Bad Happen?

Jerry: And then, 16% of them would ask God, if God could answer right back, “Why do bad things happen?”

Abraham: There is no source of that which you consider to be bad. It is just that sometimes you get into a vibrational place where you disallow the good you deserve, that would be there otherwise.

Everything comes to you by your attention to it. So if something comes to you that you say is a bad thing, it is only because you have somehow achieved vibrational harmony with it. You achieve vibrational harmony with a feeling of unworthiness a little bit at a time. But in time, you can begin to feel unworthy of good things….

Bad things happen only because you, as a vibrating being, are disallowing the good things that are natural to you.

There is a Source of pure positive Energy coming to you. It is the Energy that created you to begin with. It is the Energy that sustains you and supports you. This Energy is always flowing to you, but sometimes you achieve an attitude or a mood or a personality that does not allow the goodness that is flowing to you. And so, it is as if you have created a shadow.

You say, “Well, why is there a shadow?” We say, it could be any number of things, but mostly it is not understanding that the light is there for you, and you are worthy of it. It is a by-product of comparing yourselves to so many others, trying to sort out the manifestations, rather than understanding the Energy Stream to begin with.

So why do so-called “bad things” happen? Because people come to expect less than good.

Other Intelligent Life?

Jerry: So 35% would have asked a God, what’s my purpose? 19%: Will I have life after death? 16%: Why do bad things happen? And 7% would have asked: “Is there intelligent life elsewhere, other than on this planet?”

Abraham: The Universe is abundant with Intelligence. All is Intelligence. But it is interesting, for as you stand in your physical platform, you would not revere any Intelligence that you did not understand fully. It’s tricky, isn’t it? Haven’t you noticed that people who are not on your wavelength don’t seem very smart? Or it is the other way around.

Are there other places like here? Yes, there are many physical dimensions. Physical is leading edge.

There are more physical dimensions than you have ability to calculate with your most sophisticated of computers. It’s a very big Universe, with very much consciousness.

How Long Will I Live?

Jerry: And 6% would have asked: “How long will I live?”

Abraham: You will live forever. You are eternal beings who have no ending.

You will remain in this body as long as contrast is producing desire within you that summon life that is not being thwarted by your contradictory attitudes.

The longest of experiences come from those who are stimulated to lots of new thought, who are in a place of not getting into strong resistance and who are allowing the Life Force they are summoning through their desire.

The shorter lives are those who have strong desire and strong resistance. And so, there’s a big tug-of-war going on inside which sort of blows them up in one way or another. Or it may be those who have come to the place where their desires have been uncomfortable, because they haven’t figured out how to bring their beliefs in alignment with their desires, so the struggle is unpleasant. And so, little by little, they release their desire, until they have very little summoning. Those are evidences of shorter lives. But not to worry, because there is not death. In other words, you cannot get it wrong.

Jerry: 6% were other than that, and the other 12% weren’t sure they had a question. So that’s it.

Abraham: They were not sure it was worth asking, because they do not believe that there is anyone who knows the answer.

In 1985, Jerry and Esther Hicks began dialogs with Abraham, a name chosen by a group of nonphysical teachers, who deliver an inspirational message of joy and well-being. This site offers excerpts from workshop recordings since 1990, plus other news and announcements, to support your journey to all that is desired.
