To get my head fully around this, then I have to believe that everything I’ve ever read of Satan and his forces, including the Christ doing battle with him in the wilderness, is actually coming from our own individual and collective ego and its tendency to evil. So the Christ had to battle his own ego to wrest from it its will to take over the power of being the son of the Father, and Hitler and Hiruhitu were actually awakening in their prospective races the egoistic desire in each individual’s ego to subdue and destroy other races. The reign of Satan it would seem is our own ego, and we need to ask the Creator for the bestowal of an altruistic will to overcome it.
To be honest, the sensation is one that humbles me, and at the same time frightens me. It makes me understand God’s answer to Job for the suffering through which he had gone. It also awes me, in the same way the revelation of the book, “The Unbearable Wholeness of Being,” as it reveals that evolutionists have it backward believing there was the Big Bang and a slow development of creation, until we began believing in a supreme being. In truth, love is the force that had our existence, as we exist at this moment in His plan in mind, when He exploded the force of the universe into its origin and let the laws of physic fall into place and then humbly waited for us to reach this point. It’s humbling.
The most important thing for me to know is that the Creator wants to be pleased by His bestowal upon us, and that what pleases Him is when we will to receive abundantly enough to bestow on others.
From this course, I hope to reach the aha realization that anything or anyone that stands in the way of my utter bliss is really the Creator working upon me to teach me.
I have definitely learned to begin every conversation with the Creator in a new permanent way, “let it please the Creator to do this or that for his creature…” The studies have made me come to realize that it is only to the Creator’s please the creator that anything moves.
Also, I have come to discover from my studies that I need to ask the Creator to give actual life to my company, so that He will give it an angel to strike it and tell it to grow, and I have learned from my studies that the reason the company wants to grow is for the Creator’s pleasure to bring the many souls that still haven’t found their way to Him. I pray that it pleases the Creator to use my company and my sons and me, His creations, for his pleasure.
Forgive me for bringing a Christian perspective into the subject, but mother Theresa once commented, that if one truly wanted to work with the poor selflessly, they had to learn to see the face of Christ in the face of every poor person that they met. In order to do that, one has to ask the father to fill them with the Holy Spirit, in order that the Holy Spirit is the one looking through their eyes.
I understand that one must crawl before one takes baby steps, and one must take baby steps before one can run. I’ve been writing each request in my journal as a thanksgiving and praise, as though the Creator has already bestowed it upon me. Now I am beginning to add before each line, “as it is Your pleasure…” to each thing I write.
Is this a way to let the Creator know that I am trying to have Him turn my egoism into altruism and my search from knowledge into the search for attainment? Is it a way to make that small spot in my heart?
