From Neil.

The message is not from me of course, I wanted to introduce it. I cannot begin to say what an honour it is to be a part of this and bring another message of Joy and Well Being to the world.

 When I was younger, I had a real fear of God, I found it hard to go into some churches, and I found many aspects of religion stifling and frankly unreasonable. Particularly the ones where God was threatening- like in the Old Testament. Like Ken says in the following message, I did feel “less than”, with the perception of god that I had.

In fact, to be honest, the only Christian book that ever made sense to me was Norman Vincent Peale, with his “Positive thinking” series- a brilliant man who was, in my opinion, way ahead of his time.”

I also loved Richard Bach’s work as well, (Jonathan Livingston Seagull) and the like, for some reason, that appealed in a way I still can’t quite explain. Perhaps deeply long lost forgotton knowledge from a time before time before time……….

Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God material was wonderful, and I also love the Abraham work.  And I am delighted that our work with “The Guys” all ties in with this magnificient, joyful spirituality, that seems to be quietly and yet relentlessly unfolding. (If it did not, I would not be involved with it)

 Believe it or not, I have never met Ken in person, we have become great “Cyberfriends”. I was - and still am learning Internet Marketing, and I promosed to help him market his materials, because I loved what he did, and his honesty, passion and sincerity.

(We do however, not share the same taste in music!!!)

 Thankyou to all of you that took part in our survey about what we could do for you, one of the biggest requests was more messages from the guys, healing messages, and messages based on your questions.

So, perhaps we could answer some questions on the show (Thursdays 9PM GMT), just pop them on the blog… and of course keep the comments coming in. It’s great to be able to make a small difference in your lives. We have got some amazing guests coming up.

It’s only fair to say that Ken does private readings as well, these are strictly between you and him, and they are available on http://www.interviewwithspirit.com/yourquestion.html

Anyway, here’s the weekly message, it’s the best yet. Based on my experience, I reckon I am not the only person to say the least who has- or had a negative connotation of god, so in the spirit of healing that you asked for, I wanted to offer a healing message about God.

And it is below. Enjoy. Thankyou Guys and Ken.

Much love to you all, let’s have an amazing 2008.

Neil

Who or What is God?

We have had requests for weekly message topics from listeners to the Interview with Spirit show. One of the topics that comes up a lot is: Who or what is God?  For some, the word God generates fear.

 

When you perceive from our perspective, the glory of God is evident everywhere. We cannot imagine anything more magnificent than the creations of God. (Here I received images of dozens of environments to play in; from nature scenes to nebulae out in deep space, to dolphins jumping in and out of the water, and many more that I cannot translate. These images were accompanied by the most wonderful feeling of excitement and playfulness.) When you truly connect to God, the idea that God could be dangerous, or that God should be feared, is simply incomprehensible!

 

Who or what is God?

The short answer is that God is you. God is consciousness; a wonderful, non–physical awareness that fills the universe, and at all times feels joyful. A human being is an aspect or extension of this non–physical consciousness (in the Special Subjects (#42) we have explained how a non–physical consciousness can become individually self–aware). Even when we feel bad, it is simply not comparable to the depths of negative emotion that you experience within your physical bodies. Why? Because in order to feel bad there must be self–denial. In Native State, we are all interfacing directly with God, or what you have called call chi, or prana, or life force energy, and this feels wonderful. It is simply not possible for us to doubt ourselves! Ken has experienced this through our messages. He remarks that we always seem 100% confident, without even the tiniest sideband of doubt. The only doubt Ken ever experiences when dealing with us, comes from within himself!

 

As we have said many times, the physical body was designed to allow you to experience positive and negative emotion. Does that sound strange? We assure you it is not! Think about this for a minute! Why would an immortal spirit design an environment that allows it to experience pain and misery? The answer is, because it is so different from the way a spirit naturally experiences! You see, we have gone to great lengths to ‘stretch the envelope’, you might say. We have had to be very clever indeed to design an environment that is literally 180 degrees the opposite of how we inherently feel and experience! And do you know what? We are inordinately proud of ourselves! The physical universe is an interpreted environment that has been deliberately designed for “shock value.” All of you are adventurers! You so much wanted to get on this roller–coaster ride called earth. And now you are on it. You are strapped in! Your job to enjoy the ride!

 

“God” is simply a term that describes anthropomorphized consciousness. After the end of the last earth cycle, in which human civilization was destroyed, the consciousness of mankind had within it some very destructive and powerfully activated memes, or patterns of thought. As humanity began to reappear on the earth, the consciousness of mankind was of course affected by these destructive memes. Although cooperation is the most natural instinct for life, on earth, the memes of conflict, competition and scarcity became most dominantly activated. As a result, so much knowledge was lost within the species consciousness.

 

Primitive people did not understand the powerful forces that brought about climactic, geological, and astronomical changes. These forces seemed cold and indifferent, and they naturally sought to humanize them, to make them friendlier. In this way, the idea of gods who were separate from individual human beings was born. It was only a matter of time before the gods became united into one, all–powerful God. And, of course, certain people saw advantages to claiming “divine rights” to lord it over everyone else!

 

The fear of God stems directly from the artificial separation of consciousness, in the guise of an anthropomorphized God, from individual human beings. This amazing (to us) state of affairs is, essentially, a denial of self and the denial of your fundamental nature. The next time you feel good, notice how much you feel in harmony with everything around you. This feeling is the fundamental connection of your consciousness with the consciousness of all life, of all things. It is what we in Native State experience in every moment, and what some of you call the “now.” The universe is composed of and filled with the awareness of Spirit. The true definition of God is the experience of well-being and joy.

 

Dear ones, God is a celebration! Every cell, every atom is experiencing well–being. Even the feeling of negative emotion is divinely inspired, for it is an expression of consciousness. Your physical reality is, we assure you, an interpreted reality. We tell you that discomfort is always temporary. Fear, anxiety, depression and hatred are phantoms and evaporate in the presence of well–being. Well–being is the quintessential property of Spirit. It is, inherently, who you are. Well–being is your birthright!

What causes the fear of God to be amplified is the concept of God’s judgment. God is all–powerful, and human beings are required to faithfully obey God’s instructions. Centuries of tradition make them inviolable. Violation of these strictures causes a person to feel that he or she has committed an indiscretion. In this way, a human being is made to feel less–than. These inflexible codes of conduct proscribe thought and action, and cause one to feel guilt and shame. In this way, you are persuaded to deny self.  All aberration, all negative emotion, stems from self–denial, did you know that? Only through self-denial can you occlude or obfuscate the connection to, and knowledge of, your divine heritage, and cause the life force energy that flows into every cell of your body and being to become blocked or distorted.

 

All beings have free will, so of course, a belief in a wrathful God is merely a choice; a choice that can be altered at any time. We tell you that more and more humans are waking up to their spiritual nature, and discovering for themselves the meaning of God. The world is undergoing, energetically, a massive change in consciousness. This is occurring on an individual level, and underneath the “radar” of the mass media. Like an expanding gas, the pressure is building for a shift in consciousness as the old order hangs on to an outdated and self–defeating paradigm of thought.

 

Oh, it must be exciting to be human at this time! We look with astonishment at how fast the vibrational landscape is changing! We see the year 2008 as a year when many things that are now hidden, will leak out into the public awareness. Those of you engaged in spiritual work will find your endeavors a little easier, as the species consciousness of humanity shifts and the need for spiritual knowledge increases. There is also a great potential for the cracks in the existing political and economic structure to widen, causing upheavals in a system that has lost integrity and needs a new direction. In this new year of 2008, therefore, do you stay balanced and focused and create your life in a positive direction. In this way, you sublimate the vibrations of the fear–mongers who operate in the lower vibrations. Their activities must stick out like a sore thumb, and become more and more obvious as destructive and irrational! It may seem as though chaos reigns, when in fact order and integrity is being restored. Therefore do not panic, for there is no need.  Humanity is approaching the end of a planetary vibrational cycle, and is, as you read this, at the threshold of a new one.
