Conversations with God

1. You are a divine creator, shaping your reality through thought, word, and deed

The first step in changing anything is to know and accept that you have chosen it to be what it is.

Creative power. You are constantly creating your reality through your thoughts, words, and actions. This creative process operates on three levels:

• Thought: The initial conception or idea
• Word: The expression of thought, giving it more energy
• Deed: The physical manifestation of thought and word

Responsibility and choice. Understanding this creative power means taking responsibility for your life experiences. Instead of seeing yourself as a victim of circumstances, recognize that you have chosen – consciously or unconsciously – every aspect of your reality. This realization empowers you to make different choices and create new experiences.

Alignment with intention. To create more effectively, align your thoughts, words, and actions with your true intentions. Be mindful of negative or limiting thoughts, and consciously replace them with positive, expansive ones. Practice speaking and acting in ways that reflect your highest aspirations and truest self.

2. Life is about experiencing and expressing Who You Really Are

The purpose of life is not to get anywhere—it is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there.

Self-discovery journey. Life is not about reaching a destination or achieving specific goals. It's an ongoing process of self-discovery and self-expression. Your experiences are opportunities to explore different aspects of yourself and to decide who you want to be in each moment.

Authentic expression. The challenge is to express your authentic self in the face of societal expectations and conditioning. This involves:

• Questioning inherited beliefs and values
• Listening to your inner wisdom and intuition
• Making choices that align with your true nature
• Embracing change and growth as part of the journey

Joy in being. True fulfillment comes from being who you are, not from doing or having. Focus on cultivating states of being – such as love, compassion, creativity – rather than pursuing external achievements or possessions.

3. There are no absolute rights or wrongs, only choices and consequences

There is no such thing as an incorrect path—for on this journey you cannot "not get" where you are going.

Beyond moral absolutes. The universe doesn't operate on a system of absolute rights and wrongs. Instead, there are choices and their consequences. What we often label as "right" or "wrong" are judgments based on our limited perspective and current understanding.

Personal responsibility. This view doesn't negate responsibility but enhances it. You are free to make any choice, but you must also be willing to accept the consequences of those choices. This includes:

• Recognizing the impact of your actions on yourself and others
• Learning from the outcomes of your choices
• Adjusting your behavior based on your evolving understanding

Growth through experience. Every choice, regardless of its outcome, offers an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Mistakes are not failures but valuable learning experiences that contribute to your evolution and understanding of yourself and the world.

4. Relationships are opportunities for soul growth and self-definition

The purpose of relationships is to create an opportunity, not an obligation.

Mirrors of the self. Relationships serve as mirrors, reflecting aspects of ourselves that we may not otherwise see. They provide opportunities to:

• Explore different facets of our personality
• Confront our fears and limitations
• Develop compassion and understanding
• Practice unconditional love

Self-definition through interaction. Through our interactions with others, we define and redefine who we are. Each relationship offers a chance to choose how we want to be – kind or cruel, generous or selfish, honest or deceptive.

Freedom and growth. The highest form of relationship is one where both parties support each other's freedom and growth. This involves:

• Releasing expectations and attachments
• Encouraging individual expression and development
• Embracing change and evolution within the relationship
• Recognizing that the purpose is mutual growth, not mutual limitation

5. True abundance comes from aligning with your highest self

You cannot have anything you want. The very act of wanting something pushes it away from you.

Abundance mindset. True abundance is not about accumulating material possessions but about aligning with your highest self and recognizing the abundance that already exists in your life. This shift in perspective involves:

• Cultivating gratitude for what you have
• Focusing on being rather than having
• Recognizing that you are already complete and whole

Letting go of want. Paradoxically, the key to experiencing abundance is to release the feeling of want or need. When you operate from a place of lack, you create more lack. Instead:

• Choose to experience abundance in the present moment
• Act as if you already have what you desire
• Focus on giving and sharing rather than acquiring

Alignment with purpose. True abundance flows when you align your actions with your soul's purpose. This means:

• Discovering and expressing your unique gifts
• Serving others and contributing to the greater good
• Making choices that reflect your highest values and aspirations

6. Physical health reflects your mental and spiritual state

All illness is self-created. Even conventional medical doctors are now seeing how people make themselves sick.

Mind-body connection. Your physical health is intimately connected to your mental and spiritual well-being. Negative thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can manifest as physical symptoms and illnesses. Conversely, positive states of mind promote physical health and vitality.

Holistic approach to health. Maintaining good health involves addressing all aspects of your being:

• Mental: Cultivating positive thoughts and beliefs
• Emotional: Processing and releasing negative emotions
• Spiritual: Connecting with your higher purpose and values
• Physical: Proper nutrition, exercise, and self-care

Conscious choices. Take responsibility for your health by making conscious choices that support your well-being. This includes:

• Being mindful of your thoughts and their impact on your body
• Choosing foods and activities that nourish and energize you
• Seeking balance and harmony in all areas of your life
• Listening to your body's signals and responding with compassion

7. Death is a transition, not an end, in the eternal journey of the soul

You cannot lose in this battle. You cannot fail. Thus it is not a battle at all, but simply a process.

Continuity of consciousness. Death is not an end but a transition in the ongoing journey of the soul. Your essence – consciousness – continues beyond physical death, retaining the memories and experiences of your earthly life.

Purpose of physical life. The physical experience provides opportunities for:

• Soul growth and evolution
• Experiencing the full range of human emotions and experiences
• Making choices and experiencing their consequences
• Remembering your true divine nature

Freedom from fear. Understanding the true nature of death liberates you from fear and allows you to live more fully. This perspective encourages:

• Embracing life's experiences without reservation
• Making choices based on love rather than fear
• Recognizing the eternal nature of your being
• Approaching death with curiosity and acceptance rather than dread

8. Love is the essence of who you are and the ultimate truth of existence

Love is not the absence of an emotion (hatred, anger, lust, jealousy, covetousness), but the summation of all feeling. It is the sum total. The aggregate amount. The everything.

Love as essence. At your core, you are pure love. This is not just an emotion but the fundamental energy of existence. Recognizing this truth transforms how you perceive yourself and the world around you.

Expressing love. Your journey involves learning to express this love more fully in your life. This includes:

• Practicing self-love and acceptance
• Extending compassion to others, even in challenging situations
• Recognizing the divine in all beings and experiences
• Choosing love-based responses over fear-based reactions

Unity consciousness. As you align more fully with love, you begin to experience the interconnectedness of all things. This leads to:

• A sense of oneness with all of creation
• Increased empathy and understanding for others
• A desire to serve and contribute to the greater good
• A profound sense of peace and fulfillment
