Let me be quite specific ..
I have no issue with what you as a person believe. I only make it an issue when you are rude to me, inform me I am wrong for broad reasons, and from badly translated copies of your personal Bible.
Don't tell me I am going to hell just because I argue with your interpretation of the Bible. If you want to have a discussion, be prepared to state Chapter and Verse, because I'll be checking it up, taking it back to the original languages, and questioning 'why' you think what you do. And I would expect you to do the same to me (but you don't?) So think it through!
And don't come onto a site where I am talking paranormal subjects with other people, and butt in and expect a friendly welcome. We have heard it ALL before, and most of us don't need to hear it ever again. And let me remind you, your Bible says you should not associate with people like me - so what are you doing on a site that defies the teachings of your Bible? We are not looking for missionaries. We do not need to be saved, and often, some of the people with me there do not even WANT to be saved .. by the God who hates instead of loving, who judges and torments, and finds us all wanting.
In that case I would have to question your judgment. Why love a being you fear? Isn't that what hostages come to do to their captors, and don't we see it as a mental illness, something they have to be cured of?
I am not the cure. I make no claim to knowing everything, or anything, about God, but I speak from my experiences, from the knowledge I have gained over the years through my readings in the theological field, anthropology, mythology, christianity and metaphysics.
You will not convert me to your way of thinking by throwing the Bible at me. For one, respect your books! For another, I will pick it up and throw it right back at you! And if you can't catch .. duck! LOL
And we love you .. says a quiet voice in my head. God loves you, all of you, so much. How could you possibly doubt that? Only 144,000 people are supposed to be able to go to heaven. Are we all so sinful that there are only 144,000 good people on the planet right now? Or was it the number of recognised Christians at the time the Revelation was written? What does logic say? I am frightened to think that there could be so few.
Love & Peace

Let me get back up on my soapbox ...
Good morning,
I was having a deep think while underwater this morning (the shower is a great place to communicate with your angels). I was asking them what I should 'rant' about this morning. I can feel their smiles from here. :-) They popped so many ideas into my rather scattered mind, and they all slipped away but one ...
When did we separate God from Spirit? Why did we? What dope decided this? When did we forget God? God didn't push us away from him/her .. we turned our backs and walked off. We decided the 'rules' were too hard .. you know .. the 'love one another as I love you'. What are the other commandments .. oh yes, do not have any other God but me. Loosely translated that could mean 'I am the God of Love, so make Love your first priority .. because it is ME.'
I guess that is Rule no. 1 Have no other God but Love.
Rule no. 2 Worship no idols. I won't even start on the tv program. Let's pick something bigger.
When did Mannon become our first priority? How many people have the desire for money foremost in their thoughts. Don't get me wrong, I think money is great too, I just don't think chasing it is more important than chasing and finding Love. No, Love probably won't feed you, or buy you all your new toys ... but then .. how many toys will last in the floods we are having in Queensland right now .. if you lose everything tangible, you will still have the Love!
Rule no. 3 Don't swear .. or worse .. don't blaspheme. Ok, I am guilty of that one. Oh God! when not addressing the Most High is actually rude. So is 'bloody' btw, a great aussie by-word .. it actually means 'by our lady' .. with so many more interesting anglo-saxon adjectives we could use, why do we spend so much time abusing God's name? Truth is, its a lazy form of speech - and the English language, which used to have thousands of words, is becoming more and more limited - particularly now we have texting. Do u no wt i mean?
Rule no. 4 Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. That's right, God decided we needed one day of rest a week. The Jewish people chose Saturday. Most of the Christians chose Sunday. Just think, you could go to church on both .. who knows, you might learn something .. starting with how similar all our different beliefs really are. And how do you keep it holy? Can it be as simple as giving our thoughts to greater things than the prompting of our egos? Can it be a day of giving thanks for all the good that is in your life, instead of focusing on the negative stuff - the things we don't have, the people we are angry at, and our fears of the unknown future that cause so much stress in our lives. Why have we all learned to focus on the stress, and build it into huge mountains that threaten to destroy us .. when we could easily come to God and ask for help with our issues .. to take those huge mountains and turn them back into little hills all over again.
Most of the shops shut on sundays when I was a child, (oh I know hospitals can't but I am sure God understands the need to help the sick and gives special blessings to those who have chosen careers based in service to the frail) but that was before we all learned to worship the great shopping dollar and our 'need' to entertain our minds instead of thinking more worthy thoughts. Instead we find other thoughtless entertainment like choosing to play 'shoot-em-up' games on the computer instead of talking to our family and friends. Hmm.. I also guilty of that .. well, not the shootemups, but silly games that are a distraction when I could be learning so much of the good of the world, instead of sitting in a lump clicking the mouse over and over again.
I think you get my drift.
Rule no. 5 Honour your father and mother. That one can be a challenge when the parents forget to honour their kids as well. But its also talking about honouring God as father and mother - so if you can't abide your parents, don't take it out of God. We chose them (no I didn't! will scream some people but..) - according to spiritual beliefs - we choose our parents and those people who have the most impact on us during our lives - which means those we love, and those we hate, for what they would teach us. If we could learn to honour them all, perhaps then we would learn to honour ourselves, and give up all the self destructive behaviours, from drugs to alcohol, and all the other mental illnesses the people of the world now suffer from. I include greed here, and lust, wrath, sloth, pride, gluttony and envy - you will know them as the seven deadly sins.
Rule no. 6 You shall not murder. Self-explanatory in action, but also do not do it even in your thoughts. The Buddha teaches us 'with our thoughts we create the world'. Yes, I know its not 'God', but where do you think he got his ideas from? It wasn't the devil. The devil promotes such negative behaviours. On a metaphysical bent, either is really bad karma.
Rule no. 7 You shall not commit adultery. Hmm.. I shall leave you all to know your own issues on that one.
Rule no. 8 You shall not steal. Anything. Not the food from another's table, or the idea from their head. Not a moment from their lives through your foolish behaviour, nor the heart from their body - and no, I am not talking about organ transplants. I actually think that's a good idea. I am talking about deliberately choosing to lead someone on, only to hurt them in some way for your own satisfaction. There are so many other ways we steal things from each other - and we steal things from God - because many of us, when we are in trouble, will demand God's help and offer nothing in return. "Help me or I won't believe in you". It's called 'emotional blackmail' and shows us all up for the children we truly are.
Rule no. 9 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. That's pretty simple. Don't lie - not even the little social ones. "Does my bum look big in this" .. Oh God, what do I answer? "The colour is wonderful on you," because it is.
Rule no. 10 Do not covet your neighbours house, wife, slaves, donkeys or anything else that belongs to them. Envy is a poison that destroys too many lives. Can we not be satisfied with our simple lives, a safe place to sleep, food on the table, good family and friends. Why do so many people have to try to 'keep up with the Jones'? When is 'more' enough? So many times I have heard that the rich might be RICH but they are very seldom happy. Happiness comes from serving others, not from self-serving behaviour. We have to change our programing. Dear Head, please help me think another way. Or better yet ..
"Dear God/Spirit help me think in a more loving way. Let the good I do for others lift up my spirit and show me the good in me, so that I might find peace and healing within your loving Grace. This is my only request. All else I have through you."
Ok, so I said it was going to be a rant. I'll climb down off my soapbox now.
Love & Light

Love is a danger of a different kind ...
.
Good morning, anyone else love Eurythmics? I am singing the song to myself even now, having started it in the orchard as I wandered down a row of those glorious trees, covered in tiny apples (well, about half the size they will be in a month or two), and I was thinking about hate.
How's that for a subject! Hate. Why do we hate? Why do we bother? Dear God, why do we do it?
Really, the whole thought came up because I was thinking of the word 'God' and 'Spirit'. It can make both sides of the 'religious' bunch blanche. The Christians (and I'm a believer, just in case you are wondering) can't bare the word 'Spirit', used by the new age folk for God. And the new agers .. don't use 'God' because .. because why? Because the Christians do and they don't believe in that 'stuff'. Because its not specific enough?
"Which God do you mean exactly? I follow Isis." Yes, that has been said to me. I even ask the question of people when they come out with some truly outrageous statements that are supposed to be Christian .. like "I hate him!"
I don't remember God or Jesus teaching us to hate .. but then again, go and check out the Old Testament. There's one heck of a judgmental 'god' in there, known as 'the Lord' .. and then there's the other loving one .. and then there's a whole lot more of them - so which God do you follow?
And then there's the Holy Spirit - guess what guys .. new age folks .. and I've worked among them for years and years .. your 'Spirit' is the Holy Spirit .. someone just left off the first word. It's all the same energy .. you keep telling me that, and yet you then isolate bits of it and name them 'Gods'. Sigh ..
Where was I? Oh yes, hate.
Sadly, we are all more than capable of hating. Even the sweetest person you have ever met has a touch of hate in them, or they wouldn't be on this planet. The 'I've come only to serve others' sugarbabies make me blanche (that means go white in the face and want to groan BTW). All of us are here in physical bodies because we have work to do on ourselves - poke a sugarbaby and they are equally capable of lashing out when they are hurt. Believe me .. I've been on the receiving end. We don't intend to hurt them, we just remind them of their issues. I say 'we' because, although its me talking, its often their angels, or mine, who are directing where the conversations go.
Hate comes from fear. Hate is not the opposite of Love. Hate is what happens when we no longer trust, either another person, or ourselves. It is part of wounded pride and ego trying to restore integrity within us. It's version of integrity anyway, which is not always good for us. We should try not to feel that way (ahh.. the should word .. well, in this case, its appropriate). Hate destroys us from the inside, just as unexpressed anger, jealousy, guilt and all the other 'acid' emotions do. They burn away within us creating illnesses such as cancer and others (see Annette Noontil and Louise Hay for the connection between emotion and illness - fascinating .. and true).
Hate is the weapon we use first on ourselves, before we broadcast it not only at the person we are angry with, but also at everyone around us. It poisons the air around us, the food we eat, the water .. our friends, our family, our pets. Please tell me .. why do you hate?
No one deserves this sort of punishment. Not you, not me. Not whomever did whatever it was they did to you .. no matter what it was.
There's a belief among the spiritual folk that we create our reality and that everything that happens to us 1) happens because we chose it for the lessons, and 2) happens for a very good reason. One of the main reasons negative stuff happens is to help us to learn to love UNCONDITIONALLY. I typed that in capitals .. yes, I'm shouting. Should I type LOVE that way too?
Love is a danger of a different kind - because it makes us vulnerable to being hurt. Through love we open ourselves to receive so much good, and when the someone who the focus of that emotion cannot give back what we want them to .. for whatever reasons .. we can choose to 'love anyway' and let go, or we can drag them to us and hold them there forever by hating them. It is ropes of steel that bind us to the person we hate .. and they might never know it, and you might never meet them again .. but you are still bound to them, in the time and place where you chose to hate.
I do not want to be trapped in a time of great pain and loneliness, so when I was given a choice to love anyway, I fought to choose it. I fought my own anger, fear and loneliness, all reactions of ego based in pride, and in the end I let go .. oh it took time, but I made the choice and kept working on it each day until the whole issue didn't hurt anymore. I am very grateful for the lessons to those people involved. I learned so much about myself, how can I bear you any ill will?
Do not hate. Do not choose to destroy yourself and everyone around you through that negativity. The planet suffers enough with our stupidity. Do not make it suffer more. Confront the reality of your emotional attachment to those people you are angry with, forgive yourself, forgive them and let go. So much more than you will be healed. And we need that healing now.
We love you,
Ama

Spiritual Soapbox
.
Good God its afternoon again. What happened to the morning .. oh I know, I spent a large part of it trying to change the background pictures on this site, and my other 'sacred gates'. I succeeded finally, after abandoning any hope of uploading my own favourite pictures. I settled for the wood of a crate for this one .. very appropriate given its new title. Yes, the site will still be about God, Spirit, the angels, demons, elementals, and hopefully a tiny bit of wisdom that I have been trying to acquire over the years. I noticed I succeeded in not writing a thing here since 11 March 2010. That didn't mean I wasn't writing .. believe me, I was .. there are reams of Allexpert.com (paranormal) pages to prove it, and then there was the meetup group .. which turned into more of a struggle than it was worth .. so its gone, but some of us remain - quietly hidden (lol) away at yahoo and facebook. In summing up the year I have to say the rest of it was a struggle - a mood swing and hot flush and other joyful symptoms of peri-menopause one .. so before I go any further, for those who also suffer, the Australia Menopause Centre is wonderful. Check them out. They have been my saving grace! http://www.menopausecentre.com.au/online/index.php
In the last nine months I have made many attempts to write a blog or two here. I even started a couple of other blogs with the same results .. no words were forthcoming on any particular subject, because most of the time it was my frustrations I wanted to express, and not the joys. When I sat down this morning I 'clarified' my thinking, which Spirit had been asking me to do for some time .. I deleted two of my blogs and settled down to keep just these two. I intend to try and write in each each day, but if I don't .. you'll know there's a very good reason. Call it my new year's resolution. I usually resolve not to resolve anything, but not this time. Things have got to change! :-) So this site is for expressing the challenges in life, and sacred gates will be for the joys.
Having spent at least an hour under the clothes line hanging clothes and talking to myself, everything I wanted to say here has vanished .. so I'll sign off for now and flip over and write something cheeful at Sacred Gates. The link is there on the right if you want to follow.
Have a wonderful day, have a wonderful year, and most of all, have a wonderful life,
Love & Light

The Serpentine Wall
.
Very early this morning I woke with this vision.
A man and I were standing at the edge of a lake in a gap between two walls. The gap was probably 30 feet wide. The lake was at the bottom of a steep hill, with the first wall running along the base of the hill, higher than both our heads, away from me into the distance. It undulated across the bottom of the hill. It was made of red bricks. It did not look very strong but I knew it was, or had been. The other wall went away to my right. I could not see the end of either, I think. The level of the water was very low, far lower than the base of the wall, and the water was very still. Thinking about it afterwards I realised that the height of the 'man-made' wall was the height of faith in the past, where the marks of the water showed where it had lapped at the top. Every brick was made by faith, and the colour, the red, represented both strength and the blood of people who had died for their beliefs.
I asked the man what he was showing me and he answered
“We protect the faithfull”.
We protect the faithful? I thought about it, and then realised he meant faith-filled. Faith is a choice and an emotion, symbolized by the water in the lake .. which was very low. How do we fill the lake of our faith? What do we have to do to restore God/Spirit to its place of glory in our lives? We have lost the thread, the plot, if you like. We have lost God in the man-made religions we have created to satisfy our ego, and fill in the gaps in our lives – or worse, we have thrown God away because it does not do what we want when we want it, ‘fulfilling’ our wishes.
While I was thinking this through I saw more of the vision. There were floating entities, like balloons, over the lake. They dipped to the water, filled themselves full – and vanished. The positive energy of the lake that they were so drawn to eliminated them. They were negative thought forms that humans create every day. They are drawn to human energy, the energy of faith in the ‘lake’. It was a lovely scene until I realised that they were actually draining more from the lake and giving nothing in return.
We take from God/Spirit every day in every way because we are created from the energy of God and we often give nothing in return for the bounty. Not even a thank you.
What do you do for others that you are also doing for God?

Very early this morning I woke with this vision.
A man and I were standing at the edge of a lake in a gap between two walls. The gap was probably 30 feet wide. The lake was at the bottom of a steep hill, with the first wall running along the base of the hill, higher than both our heads, away from me into the distance. It undulated across the bottom of the hill. It was made of red bricks. It did not look very strong but I knew it was, or had been. The other wall went away to my right. I could not see the end of either, I think. The level of the water was very low, far lower than the base of the wall, and the water was very still. Thinking about it afterwards I realised that the height of the 'man-made' wall was the height of faith in the past, where the marks of the water showed where it had lapped at the top. Every brick was made by faith, and the colour, the red, represented both strength and the blood of people who had died for their beliefs.
I asked the man what he was showing me and he answered
“We protect the faithfull”.

I love you
There was a book I read a few years ago, a part of which surprised me very much. It was only one chapter. the title was 'what God wants from you', or something like that. What God wants. The pages of the chapter were totally blank, and as I looked through each wondering at the 'revelation' I realised just how wrong the totally blank pages were .. to me they said 'God wants nothing from me' .. but that is not true. Even if God truly does only observe humanity and not interfere, God loves us .. loves us profoundly .. loves us deeply .. and allows us to 'be' all the small nasty people we can be, all the great and glorious we are equally capable of being. And asks only one thing 'Love as I Love you'.
God loves unconditionally - 'he' proves that every day. He gave us free will, that means that we can ignore him, invoke him, scream at him, lie to him, pretend he doesn't exist .. even when we then ask a friend to 'pray for us' so that we can achieve our dreams, rant at him, rage at him, worship him, beg for things, ask for things, kill ourselves and each other, ruin our environment, kill all his other creations, ignore his good works and the people trying to achieve them - regardless of our behaviour; what else can I add to the this? I'm sure you can think of a few things.
And if you look in your heart and soul you will find his message there ..
"Love child, be simply love, child,
Be what you will be,
what you are, child .. simply Love Child,
Know your true nature,
God in creation, part of the whole self,
Part of the truth, child,
Be simply Love,
Child ..."
Song of Creation .. sung for the children of 'man' (humanity).
