Atheism and the Responsiveness Mystery

Fog droplets in predawn moonlight

I was part of a discussion recently about atheism. A professor was asking the students to provide evidence of the existence of God.

While I would probably fail if the assignment was mine to do, I don’t lack for responses, and it set me to thinking.   

Can you provide evidence of the existence of Love?  

It’s true, people act like they love each other, but what proof is there? Nothing is tangible.  Nothing is measurable. Obviously it disappears sometimes.  People say they love each other, and then later they don’t, so maybe it wasn’t there at all. Could you – or I – prove to someone who didn’t believe in Love, that Love exists?  I’m not sure that I could.   

But I know that it does.   

Can you provide evidence of the existence of Gravity?

Of course, things fall to the ground, we all know that. But maybe that’s just the way the earth works. Why does there have to be a force? There is no proof that there’s a force called gravity.   Well sure, out in space things are different, but that’s to be expected. You cannot see it, touch it, taste it, measure it, etc. Why do some people think it exists?  

Can you provide evidence of the existence of God?

No, I can’t provide evidence of an Old Testament angry God. I don’t believe that God is real, except in people’s minds.   

But here is what I know absolutely.  

The Universe (which is another name for God) is responsive. 

Responsive.  

Before I explain further, a little detour.. let’s imagine a young woman who has been traumatized as a child by people who said they loved her – perhaps beaten, even assaulted.  Her concept of Love is completely corrupted by what has happened to her. Now, as an adult, she no longer believes in Love.  

“Love doesn’t exist. It’s all fake. People just act like they love each other so they can get what they want. Prove to me that Love exists. I don’t believe it.”

What are the chances of her finding a healthy romantic relationship, or even a solid friendship, in the face of her beliefs?

Little to none. Practically zero. Why?  Because the Universe is responsive. Her mind is powerful enough to overcome the truth that Love exists, at least for the duration of her beliefs, and perhaps her entire lifetime. 

I’m not saying that simple affirmations or statements will bring about something. I AM saying The Universe is Responsive.  

Over time, statements, convictions, and deeply held beliefs we have show up in our lives and bring us “proof.” This young woman is quite likely to find herself in similar situations to her childhood dynamics that “prove” to her that Love doesn’t exist. 

The Universe is Responsive.  

Over time, by contrast, if I am convinced that Love is all there is, and that people simply choose to deny or contradict it sometimes, my life demonstrates that Love. The Universe is Responsive.   

In my garden, if I Love and nurture and spend time with the plants, I am rewarded with a great harvest and little surprises.   

In my family, if I Love and spend time with my little grandchildren, I’m rewarded with a huge smile a week later from my one-year old, who remembers and loves me back.  

In my marriage, if I Love and appreciate and devote time to my relationship, I’m rewarded by a deep sense of connection. No, I can’t prove the existence of that Love.  But I can savor it.

Simply put – over time, what we are deeply convinced of shows up in our lives. The Universe is Responsive.   

If you are deeply convinced you are isolated and alone, that will show up in your life. Much like an anorexic who is thin to the point of death can look in the mirror and “see” fat, you will ignore the love and connection that is in your life and see only the isolation.  

If you are deeply convinced the Universe is a loving place and you are connected, that will show up in your life. You will find yourself in mostly loving relationships and activities, and will find creative and loving ways to navigate difficulties so that more love appears.  

God is Mystery. God is Principle. God is Responsive. God is Love. 

If you’ve had trauma that convinced you that Love doesn’t exist, or Love hurts, or you are alone, there is help to heal that trauma. 

You CAN learn to open, trust, Love, and experience the responsiveness of the Universe from a place of deepening Love. You don’t have to prove it to anyone. Just experiment.  

The Universe is Love and and the Universe will respond to you. 

I cannot prove the existence of Love or God or even gravity to you.  But you can prove it to yourself.

Your Heart Is Being Asked To Stretch

Gate in Findhorn

Conversations with Yeshua.  This is channeled material, edited minimally for clarity only. It is personal information given to me and my husband Stan, but relevant to many situations and this is one I am asked to share with the world.  This conversation happened in the wee hours of the morning on August 13, 2017. 

You are hearing us correctly.  A short while ago we told you, “This is what consciousness needs to awaken.”  Remember nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists.* So as you and millions of other become more and more conscious, but live in a sea of unconsciousness, these ripples and waves and whirlpools will happen where consciousness comes face to face with unconsciousness.

Some people wake up in a moment of great beauty. Some people wake up in moments of great sorrow. Some people wake up in a moment of great determination when they recognize their own power and connection.Gate in Findhorn

We know you are troubled about the hatred made visible at Charlottesville. And we’ll speak to that. We’ll let Linda move a little further to one side first.

L: So this is Linda speaking.  Jesus, Yeshua, my intention is to step completely to the side and allow your guidance to come through unadulterated. To allow pure love to come through me, to speak through me, without the filter of, the contamination of fear. To bring words and energy that are guiding lights and hope to the people of this planet. To open my heart and my mind to receive as a channel accurately with presence.

What if you saw the angels present?

You cannot avoid the feelings of sorrow and dismay but you can contain them. You can shorten them by your remembrance of what is true. What if you saw the scene in Charlottesville and could also see there were thousands of angels present. And incredible love and power. In the humans as well as the angels. That all those persons met there on purpose to further the cause of awakening, to provide contrast and allow people to make decisions, to step up.

You are asking in your mind about friends of yours who have supported this leadership and now you haven’t seen them for a long time. Just know that they and millions of others are going through their own dark nights of the soul. While you may be struggling with dismay and even recoiling in disgust they are struggling with their part in this unfolding of events.

This is an important sequence for them and others. While it’s appropriate to mourn and to have your own emotions it’s also important to move out of them as quickly as possible. Back into gratitude and vision and faith. Don’t allow yourself to be stuck in this quicksand of hatred and despair.

Reaching across divisions

At any moment you can look at that or you can look at the tremendous reaching across of divisions that’s happening. It’s just as real and it is definitively going on right now. See it and listen for your part and turn your attention to the things you want more of.

Devices to help your own fear subside – Tapping would be good, the tapping sequence would protect your own energy. This will bring you the energetic equivalent of Wonder Woman’s wrist guards, deflecting the energy, which does not mean that you don’t go stand on the streets or do whatever it is you are guided to do.

But while you may attend only one event a week, your energy is active at all times.

Stan do you have any related questions?

S:  Do we simply stand and let it be known we don’t support this or is there another more active step?

You will feel your own guidance, don’t overlook your power. It’s a question to ask yourself throughout the day — what is mine to do in relation to this?

What happened was an energy shift

We encourage you to get together with others that are equally involved. Not to wallow in despair or to play “ain’t it awful,” but to actually pray and plan together. People look at external events and believe that they happen in isolation, this external event happened, this external event happened, but in actuality what happened was an energy shift. What was witnessed yesterday was the rage of those who’ve been living in fear and feeling unheard. They made their fear and all of the anger and judgment and hatred that goes with it visible yesterday. It’s understandably frightening to those that are not living in that level of fear, who were unaware of it.

So your energy, and your authentic energetic response is always valuable. Then you discern what is yours to do in the physical world as well.

We see and we encourage you to see a world of peace and connection and mutual respect, of tenderness and healing, of miracles. A world living on active love, awakened love, connective love.

Keep your energy in a place of love

We can’t tell you how long till this happens, but we can tell you you are right on track with the steps so at the same time you want to sink into despair and retaliation, instead sink into the nothingness, sink into peace and from there choose your next step. It is so important to keep your energy in a place of love, as you hold these events in your heart and experience the pain that they cause.   

Your heart is being asked to stretch, to encompass those with small eyes and cold hearts and say YES, and you are part of me, YES and you are part of us. 

No, you can’t do that physically. They would only bristle. But energetically you can do it and it is immensely powerful.

Take care of yourself energetically. Be honest about your feelings. Use tapping and prayer and meditation to bring yourself back to center. Then allow the actions that feel exactly right to you to become part of your experience. Spend that time in prayer and meditation and ask what is mine to do. But we assure you that what is yours to do first and foremost is to stretch your heart to encompass all of this. Then take care of your self.

We are always available individually or as you come together like this.  The more you practice this the more accurately you will hear.

Consciousness Is Moving Into The Mainstream

Fireworks Energy

Conversations with Yeshua.  This is channeled material, edited minimally for clarity only. It is personal information given to me and my husband Stan, but relevant to many situations and this is one I am asked to share with the world. From a session with Stan and Linda only.  

Linda’s concerns are about managing her mind to affect change in her life. We will speak to that as soon as she steps out of the way a little more.

So right now Linda —and Stan,  you’re not far behind with this as well —Linda you are going through a significant physiological change.  Just imagine, remember, the time when you were about to deliver one of the babies.  Remember the delivery itself and the aftermath. During those times, no matter how much you told your mind to calm down in your psyche, and your being-ness to relax — it wasn’t actually, really possible for you at that time.

And you’re in a major time of transition right now. Globally the human race is in transition right now.

Consciousness is moving into the mainstream. People who’ve long believed these principles that you believe are testing them. Do they really work in times of crisis and fear?

Other people are just in fear. This is happening globally.  Locally, personally, you are making physiological changes which are significant, even profound. and of course it’s important to continue with your meditative practices. But it’s also important for you to not judge yourself for not feeling the deep relaxation every day you wish you could

You are putting your body into a transition to aid in healing, you are learning, you are unlearning. And not all of those hours will be peaceful. However the more you refuse to indulge in fear, the more opportunities for peace you will find.

We are with you always. The outcomes you desire are not only possible, they are inevitable with the track that you are on, with your continued intention and your continued willingness to change. So take heart and take each step along the way. We will help you always.

Stan, do you have questions, or topics?

S. We’ve kind of covered my situation.

Pay attention to the energy of what you are putting out and the energy of what you are putting in (to yourself). Who are you thinking of, or what?  What activity or who can you think of that radiates a higher vibration than you are at, and therefore inspires you… and uplifts you, and moves you along? Can you give one or two examples?

S. I think this meeting with C. and the PNE group I can take a leadership role and be more confident and just stand up. (sigh…) 

Yes, that’s good.  However what we were asking you, is as far as you being around other other people, you absorbing things, what can you recognize in the last couple of weeks that is a higher vibration that helps lift you up?

S. Eckhart Tolle tapes.  Huge.

And are you aware that even though you don’t remember every word, or every teaching, that it still has an impact on you?

S. Oh yeah.  

This is energy. The energy of nature unaffected by humans’ unconsciousness. Whatever small or large part of nature you can find, that is…unaffected.  And part of that is in your backyard, when you go into the small, the miniature.  Part of it is in the grandeur of the wild and everything in between. Some of it is in teachers who have found a large measure of peace and the words to express that. Some of it is in people that you know:  Dr. J, and Rev. E., and J.S.

Pay attention to the energy that you are swallowing, the energy that you are absorbing and make sure that you consciously choose high vibrational intake for a great deal of each day.  And it will raise your own vibration and you will become THAT to another. Both of you.

Linda, we recommend that you use a recorded meditation. Track it down during your regular day, and use a recorded meditation for a few days assist you in your focus and to assist you in this transition time. You are in transition.

We encourage you, as your first remedy for thoughts of anxiety about another, to raise your own vibration. Make a playlist for yourself that includes several 10-30 minute meditations, and use it.

We want to encourage you to use your garden time not to figure out things, but to be present.   Be present to the plants, be present to the soil, be present to the insects. Just be present.

In a crunch, when you feel pressure and start to feel anxiety, remind yourself that everything’s always working out for good for you. Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists.*   Everything always works out for the highest and best. And the more you remember it the quicker the solutions arrive.

Remember we are with you always. And we are glad that you come to listen. This is one way of raising your vibration.
