When you see and know me in this new light of yours, your relationships with others will change.  You will now think differently from them, and see the world differently then them.  But please remember my child that you are them. 

Have I told you that every living being on your planet is one?  Every being who breathes, has a heart, and who is alive, is one with all other living creatures.  That is because I am one with all of my creations.  Therefore, everyone is me.  We are all connected.  You and I are connected.  Your friends, your families and your acquaintances are one with you.

You are all small parts of one much bigger whole.  But despite this, there are moments where we all do not get along.  There are moments where you view each other as less intelligent or dim-witted.  You may think, "How on earth can they be thinking that?"

Every single person on your planet has a unique view, a unique identity.  Therefore, each person has a different view of me, a different view of life.  Does that make their view bad?  No, it does not.  Everyone has a way of explaining everything, even if they say "There is no thought behind it all."

One of your greatest difficulties on your planet is the general lack of acceptance for other people's views.  When one nation disagrees with another, war may be near.  When different religions do not agree with each other, they sometimes try to kill each other. 

But in the end, each group, each nation, each individual is simply trying to explain what they see around them.  Each view is valid, even if it sounds insane to you.  If you on earth learned to accept others views without saying "You're wrong!" or "You may be right, but you could be wrong and on the way to hell.", your world would be so accepting that it would surprise you!

What you give to others is what you will receive in return.  When you interact with others, you are really interacting with yourself, only in a different form, for all of you are really part of the same body, which is me.

Therefore, do your best to be kind and tolerant to each other.  If someone says "This is what I believe", accept it without making a fuss.  If you like, say that you'd like to share your beliefs.  You will find that the vast majority of people are perfectly willing to discuss matters of faith without shouting at each other.

Try saying "If that's your view, then I accept and acknowledge it."  When someone tells you what they believe, try not to push your beliefs upon them, for this has caused much bloodshed and suffering on your planet.  Simply acknowledge their beliefs, then let it be. 

Likewise, when someone tries to push their beliefs upon you, simply say, "Thank you for your concern, but I am happy where I am."  Try not to judge or rebuke them.   They really do want to help you, but the method they use may not be the most efficient way.

If you are religious, do you remember the moment you took on your faith?  Do you remember feeling so happy that you wanted to run around and tell everyone, "Look!  This is the way to peace!"?  That is the case with many.  They believe in their faith so greatly that they are more then willing to run around and try to force others to believe in it.  Why?  Because they want them to feel the joy that they felt.

So when others try to frighten you, scare you, or otherwise try to persuade you into a religion, know that they really want you to experience what they are feeling, and what they have felt.

But there is an important lesson that everyone could do well to learn.

Allow each spirit to walk its path.

I have inspired this to be said before, and I will say it again here.  Allow each spirit to walk its path.  Every single being in this forest has their own unique path to take.  At some points these paths may cross with others, but without exception there are infinite paths upon which infinitely many beings walk.  And all of these paths are, in one way or another, heading towards me.

Therefore, know that you, your brothers, and your sisters are all heading to me.  Each path is just as respectable and worth as the path next to it.

Notice my child how the path we are on is slightly rough, slightly overgrown with vegetation.  Do you know why this has happened?  It is because not many walk this path that we are on right now.

This path, the one of personal spirituality, can be difficult at times, and it can be lonely at times (though I am with you at all times).  Why is this?  Because as a whole, your species has not yet grown accepting enough for individuals to go their own way.

Your religions and cultural institutions encourage and support you to go with the flow, to go along with the crowd.  Yes, you can stand out while doing so, but you are still going with the flow.  Religions are a good example of this.  In general, they do not want you to try something new.

"Stay with the lord's words!"  They say.  "Stay with what Allah has written!"  Yet remember my loved one, that I did not write your holy books.  I may have inspired the love based parts, but remember that the author's egos and fears were worked in as well.

Religions do not like new ideas.  They want to remain in the past, where everything is simple and unchanging.  Yet this idea cannot support itself in the long run.  Your world is discovering new things everyday.  Individuals come across glorious things that transform their lives. 

Near death experiences are an example of your world changing.  From looking and reading about these experiences, humanity is getting a glimpse of how I really work, and what heaven and hell really are.  Best of all, humanity is discovering (remembering) that I really am love!

When someone strikes out on their own, going upon their own quest to find me, they are being very courageous.  They are choosing to go against what has been set down, what has been followed for centuries.  They are brave enough to ask if these doctrines may in fact be wrong.

Religion as a whole does not approve of these people.  They see them as threats, as wildcards, as lost sinners doomed to eternal hellfire for daring to question scripture and what has been written down.

Yet, deep down, these people are also afraid.  Tremendously afraid.  They are afraid that these people who set out may find something that works better, that sounds and feels better, that makes life and God better.  And if this happens, then the entire system comes crashing down.

Furthermore, these people may be too afraid to seek the answers by themselves.  They might be afraid to take responsibility for their own destiny.  It is far, far easier to go with what has been done, written and said, then to find the answers for yourself.

Once someone finds a belief, they will give up everything to hold onto that faith, even if it means dying, killing or terrorizing other people.

At this time in your planet's history, people can sense that there is something out there, something great and wonderful, but most are too afraid or too suspicious to try and find it.  They don't want to believe that there just might be something better then what is already here. 

And when they are given glimpses of that new and wonderful thing, they reject it and cling to what they already have, too frightened to give up what they have worked so hard to get, even if the knew thing or knowledge can enrich their lives.

So it is that the path of the spiritual individual can be a lonely one.  It can be a rough one, for others may try to convince the individual that they are doomed, damned, etc.  But again, these others are afraid, whether they realize it or not.  They don't want to leave what they have found, even if it scares them.

But the rewards of the solitary spiritual path can be great.  If one is not bound by religious rules or societies expectations, one can find me easily if they look.  For I desire for all to come to me, and I have arranged the universe so that this happens. 

All will come to me.  It is an individual's choice to return to God.  You don't need religion or elaborate ceremonies to come to me.  All you have to do is decide to come home.
