Who Told You?

Who Told You?

There is no time. Time is not real… it is simply part of the illusion. There is only an eternal right here, right now. Ever changing, yet always the same.

We planted the seed of separation knowing that eating its fruit would begin the timeline.

Out of the seed a magnificent tree grew and matured. It bore fruit and you finally decided to eat it. By the way, it was never “if you eat of the fruit…” it was “when you eat…”

In the instant you ate the fruit, I felt the separation as well. I was with, around and in you the entire time but you were cut off from Me. Eager for you to find Me, for there is nothing outside of Us, I called out “Where are you?”

You hid.

The hiding was an external expression of what had happened inwardly. Your mind had already compartmentalized the world around you. Some parts horrified you. You judged yourself quickly and thoroughly; you were no longer an authentic version of yourself. You couldn’t be. You could no longer genuinely express yourself nor could you allow yourself to just be… as you always were.

And so, you hid.

You desperately wanted to be what you now thought was good, and that thought created its opposite- the bad. Because in form there can not be one without the other.

The bad you denied.

Then, you hid even from you.

As you continued to cast judgment, you lied to yourself and quickly shifted the blame to something (the serpent) or someone (your counterpart) that you now considered outside of yourself.

Before separation there was no judgment, only unconditional Love, which allows everything to be as it is. This new experience was unbearable.

You hid, but My persistent calling out to you caused you to finally answer.

You said…

When I heard the sound of your voice I hid because I was naked.

God Spark, you were as you always were. Nothing had really changed… except you. My Love remains the same. Before the timeline began, you were transparent- physically, spiritually & mentally. Now you could no longer handle the transparency. You could no longer handle the all encompassing Truth.

So I asked you, and not to accuse but to get you to look inward.

“Who told you?”

I wasn’t looking for an answer. It was my first invitation for you to remember why you ate the fruit. Who told you that you were naked? You did.

So God Spark, I ask you again now. Who told you that you are naked? Who told you that you are not good enough? Who told you that you are lacking? Who told you that you are lost? Who told you that you are powerless, mortal, and incomplete? Who told you that you are not worthy?

You told yourself. You continually tell yourself. You let your mind run wild with its never ending judgments. You judge yourself.

I never judge you.

There is no judgment outside of yourself. Judge not, lest you be judged is not a harsh command. It is a loving reminder. It means that when you judge, you judge only yourself. “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

There is no judgment outside of yourself.

The Garden of Eden

The Garden of Eden

Welcome to the Garden of Eden.

By the way, you never left; you were never kicked out.

You’ve always been here.

When you ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you ate the fruit of form. You ate the fruit that opened up your mind to the possibility of opposites which, by default, creates separation.

The world of form is defined by opposites. Or comparisons. There is only high because there is low. There is only beauty because there is ugly. There is only weak because there is strong. Is it not so?

Otherwise, everything would just be… and there would be nothing more to it.

Eating the fruit opened up your mind to the idea of separation, which allows you take part in Life. Comparison, the very thing that is necessary in order to experience form, is the origin of separation. It’s a defining line. This is me, and everything out there is something else. Otherwise, as it always has been and always will be, there is really only You or really only Me. And both of Us are one and the same.

The why… the reason you planted the seed and ate the fruit, as I mentioned earlier, was so that you could create a vehicle through which the possibility of experiencing unconditional Love – your true essence – was made manifest.

Now God Spark, I told you before, it is one thing to be love, which you are – always have been, always will be.

It is another thing entirely to experience it.

And eating the fruit of form did feel like a very real death. We talked about this before you ate the fruit, and not so that you wouldn’t eat it. You designed this… you planted the seed of separation so that you could eat its fruit.

We talked about the seeming separation, or death, that you would experience when you ate the fruit. We talked while we planted the seed together, so that you could figure it out, eventually.

Your ‘death’ was so intense for you. It was very painful. In an instant you felt completely betrayed by the Divine, by Love, by God, but you also felt you had brought it all on yourself, which you did.

Willingly. Knowingly. Intentionally.

Being the valiant explorer that you are, you courageously dove into the dream. Knowing you would be divinely guided through the entire experience. In your initial confusion you planted a thought seed in your mind, a skewed interpretation, in which you made yourself a guilty victim instead of a valiant explorer. You became deaf, dumb, blind and lost.

You felt deeply the separation, the lack, and the incompleteness. You created Hell.

The persistent illusion of form immediately began sowing its seeds of doubt, deceit, and deception. All the fruit needed to keep the dream convincingly real.

Eating the fruit began a timeline for you, causing your recounting of Creation to be completely distorted… There was no creation. You always were. There was only the beginning of the experience of form for you. This is why deep down you feel like everything around you will last forever, even though you see and experience that nothing lasts forever. Your senses convince you that forms come and go.

Most times your mind doubts your mortality; you have become so reliant on the physical senses. But at other times, when you are still and quiet, you tap into the present moment. You tap into Eternal Life. You tap into Unconditional Love and you remember on a deep subconscious level that you remain the same.

You are forever.

In the beginning… you never left the Garden of Eden. When you died to the Truth of Life and woke up in the dream of form, you felt like you had been banned from paradise because when you ate the fruit, your entire perception about reality completely changed.

Nothing really changed – only your idea about it, only your thoughts, changed.

You still live in eternal paradise. You still have your super power – your ability to create. You are still an eternal God Spark.

Those things will never change.
