Relationship with God

I feel it is so, so, so important that I get connected to the Divine, to my very core, now, it feels like my next step and an important step!

I re-read Lola' book and read slowly the section about "relationship with the Divine". She says "God has no self-nature, it is what you believe Him to be" and wow, that's not easy to really understand that!

At that point when I feel the Divine inside, it's a body sensation and a feeling, it's like I focus on what's at the very core of my torso, it feels like it's connected to something bigger, and it brings good feelings... strength, pleasure...

I cannot really get that fit to "designing a relationship", because it's not separate from me, how can I have a relationship with that core feeling?

Also, it seems to me that if I design an image, or imaginative friend, to relate with, I will superimpose my beliefs and concepts over the pure experience of the Divine, and make it "smaller"...

At the same time, I really get it now that I need a strong and personal connection with the Divine inside, a connection that I can have in everyday life. At the moment that connection is not very strong, I can have it when I lay still but in daily life it's more difficult.

I asked the Divine to connect with me and show me the way :-)

I'm clear that I want to turn inward to get my answers. Yet I'ld like to share with you on that subject and maybe get new insight...

Love, love and love,

Good friend or parent to warm fuzzies and traffic jams

Helene, When I'm lower I find myself saying "Okay Presence, help me out here, my grip is tight. Help loosen this up" It's like a genie/good friend that has alot of power. Then as I go up I see how the perception of power becomes more and more inward and feels more like a yummy, warm fuzzy feeling. Renee, I know what you mean about the pile up affect. A good example happened just before I came down here. I had been home (Nebraska) without my kids for 4 weeks. My energy flow was flowing like a steady stream. I came down to SC and felt like I was dropped into ground zero; I got to see how I chose to vibrate the majority of the way I am currently, how it isn't mine, my parent's or even their parent's. Just some vibrational habits that we choose to do just because they were there. Well... I wasn't ready to let things move as fast as they were moving and it caught up with me and I had some physical things show up. It was such an interesting experience for me to see how it is all ME. It really showed me the necessity to move my body as much as I could and relax every chance I got. So now you've given me a nice image to think about when I get backed up. I see a clown in the front of a parade of clowns.

That's curious to live with so many isn't it? I am in a similar situation and find it hard to surface from the basement! LOL But I did feel comforted that when you're at the bottom of the instrument panel you find yourself going outside yourself! I found myself doing that today and it was about things that I had tried to keep internally but also wasn't feeling through. Its funny too because I was "flying" in some areas and feeling stuff out but then not in other areas. It makes me think of those old fashioned cartoons I've seen where there is a marching band of animated characters marching down the street and the character in the front comes to a screeching halt and the others aren't paying attention so they all pile up together! That's how me myself and I and all my internal relationships feel sometimes, like a fractal blob of arms, legs and instruments! LOL. Its kind of funny.

Hi Marnyka, Wow, it's a lot

Hi Marnyka,

Wow, it's a lot of people you live with! I can imagine it's very lively!!

I wonder, when you feel the Divine as someone outside yourself, does it feel like a person you relate to? Sometimes I get this core feeling inside me but when I don't feel it, I find it difficult to relate to something more personal than "the whole universe"...

To me it's everchanging

I've noticed that it depends on where I am on the instrument panel. I recently moved to South Carolina. My husband is still in Nebraska and me and my two kids are staying with my parents, 7 yr old Nephew, my 23 yr brother and one of his college buddies. Needless to say I have been all over the instrument panel. Toward the bottom, my relationship with the Divine tends to be more of someone I turn to outside myself and as I move up the scale it becomes more internal and at the top I can feel/or not feel there is no separation at all. I find I don't want to give it any type of explanation if I can help it.

Just ask...

Just ask and it is given... I justed looked in online course 1, the module that is about relationship with God (module 7), and here is what I needed to read!

It is not still completely clear to me, because what I feel when I feel the Presence is not like a person. Not yet. but now I know what I'm aiming at! I just need to let it sink and keep that relationship on my priority list. And there's even an audio on the subject!

Loving life
