Today’s Message

Dear Yearner,

I have told the story here of how, during a crisis at work, I called out to God, “God, is it my main job on earth to learn how to suffer fools gladly?” (Including myself, in that thought of fools, by the way.) And God answered,

“My dear, it is your job to do all things Gladly, for in Gladness Am I, and I want you with Me.”

What, exactly was I calling to? I was calling to that Presence, within which we exist and live and have our being. I was calling to that sweet Voice that is piped into the little bubble of my own small ego-awareness. I was calling to that All-That-Is, that State of Mind, that is just beyond, and all around, and just beneath, the silly, temporal, short-sighted, grasping, narrow state of mind that is the ego self.

When the small self calls outside the bubble of its own awareness, or to that Divine Voice that is “piped in” to the bubble of small, illusory sight, it is reaching out to the Divine State of Mind that most would call Heaven, or God, or Nirvana, or Oneness.

What does God feel like? What is that State of Mind that is the very Presence of God in which we truly abide? To me, the answer I received above evokes only a tiny portion of what It Is.

It Is Gladness. It Is Tenderness. It Is Humor. It Is Wisdom. It Is Love. It Is Compassion. It Is Creative Excitement. It Is Utter Peace and Calm and Reassurance. It Is Trustworthiness. It Is a Sense of Infinite Possibilities. It Is Completeness. It Is eager Welcome. It is Timeless and Ever-Present.
