youll find:
Fear does not belong to the instant present time, but rather to the past and the future Each instant
is a neat birth with no stain, in which a Gods son emerges from the past to the present.
And the present goeson forever
. This moment is so beautiful, pure and free of guilt that nothing, besideshappiness, exists in it. No
darkness is remembered and immortality and joy are now.
Without change, time is unconceivable. In eternity, there is neither past nor future.
Weknow, therefore, that, only at the present moment, does eternity exist: The eternal
hereand now.God is good and eternal because He is perfect, complete, incorruptible,
unique,unchangeable, stable God does not change.Impressed by this idea that God does
not change, I have opened a space for other ideas.If God is eternal and does not change,
would He be
still
andDead?We know that He is not dead; however, everything that is eternally still,
static -conceptually - should have no life, or could be understood as Dead.On the other
hand, it is also known that God is eternally creating.There were days when I asked myself:
If, like God, Higher Selves are eternal and theyare perfect, what is the reason for successive
incarnations of human beings? After all, if Higher Selves are eternal and perfect, what is
there for them to learn? And, being thus perfect, would they also manifest a
SELF/EGO/PERSONALITY as perfect as Gods,Himself? After all, we are what we think.
Our lives are a reflection of what we are,
etc,etc, etc
There are some confusing conceptions in human beliefs. One of them says that our spirits
are eternal and wise beings, or else, that we have in us a part which guides usand, therefore,
it is wise too.If all of us were consciences of God, with awaken Higher Selves, we would
notmanifest egos that are unaware of this fact. Then, I can only think that our Higher Selves
are also unaware of what He and we really are. Thus, reaching illumination or salvation has
to do with awakening oneself, because all there is, is God and HisCreation: an
individualized Affiliation and its respective manifestation on Earth, as aliving EGO.The
Higher Self, then, would be a divine perfect spark, but not aware of his divineidentity until
the awakening of our own ego in this existence on Earth. I see God, aseternal, sheer love,
creating in continuous action However, He being at the same
time immutable, His expansion is, thus, set into action definitely linked to theawakening of
each DIVINE SELF in His creation.On the other hand, down here on Earth, ones ego is not
aware of its identity, really. It isactually the result from its relationship with the world
around its persona. The Ego isalways trying to make the world become what it wants.
Everything constructed by theEgo talks about
itself.
The ego forms its identity from what it creates around its ownself. Well, we know that our
egos/personalities are supposed to get refined throughseveral incarnations by

evolving All, which is created by God, evolves. In our case, in search for its own
identity, our egos refinement leads to the awakening of the
IAM
: The Awareness of
I AM of God.
When it reaches this degree of evolution, it WAKES UP to its DIVINE SELF and theego
ceases to exist as identity, becoming just a temporal tool of the AWAKEN SELF.In short, I
believe that the one that really wakes up is our HIGHER SELF, who,although perfect - as
part of the WHOLE and as image and similitude of God - is notaware of this until his
respective ego reaches illumination.Another conclusion that I have reached is that, this
eternally creating process could alsokeep God alive in eternity (remember?
The opposite of being dead, immutable
) and itis His creation that - on the wakening of the I AM OF GOD - keeps His Eternal
Identityalive on its own.That is: This
I AM of God
, awakened from the refined ego, reinforces Gods existenceand this MAINTAINS GOD
ALIVE THROUGH ETERNITY for us and,
this
is theway by which God really expands Himself. He is not exclusively expanding
throughthe act of creating, but by the conscientious awareness reached by His creation.Each
awaken Self expands the creator into an ascendant spiral: At the same timeimmutable,
(because He is perfect) and being eternally in expansion, because Heexpands himself with
each and every being that wakes up in their:
I AM GOD
. At theinstant of illumination, each one of us reaches full happiness and full knowledge.
Weare God Alive and, from then on, we will try to remember this..
He is eternal in the cause and alive on the effects.
God is the cause and the effect. He is eternal in the cause and alive on the effects.But, God
can only be real for the ones who are aware of having a connection with Him.That is the
only way God becomes alive in us. In each saintly instant: as we receivesmall miracles - as
we marvel at the beauty of nature; as we get involved in an act of love or compassion - God
becomes so clear and so alive that we
wake-up
from our unreal world. At that instant, God expands, for He is recognized in His dear
Child.Apart from or in spite of the world created by human egos, God and Gods world
arealways going to exist and be real. However, the miracle and the World of God are
made present in each saintly instant.When someone says that there are people claiming for
God and He, apparently, does notmanifest Himself, actually, this human-being is forgetting
to consider to which God heor she is calling out. In truth, when the real connection is made,
the miracle takes place:it is inevitable. And God is alive when we remember that we are His
essence, that is:
