God is the source of all help to people in the world, but most people are asking God for the wrong kind of help\u2014and even then they often do not turn to God except when it is too late.<\/p>\n
Most people are asking God to change things. They are asking for a change in the situations, circumstances, and events of their lives\u2014not understanding that they are asking God to undo the very conditions that they, themselves, have co-created.<\/p>\n
They are asking God for peace on Earth, and goodwill between all people\u2014while they, themselves, continue to co-create the opposite.<\/p>\n
They are asking God for health, safety, and security\u2014while they, themselves, continue to co-create the opposite.<\/p>\n
They are asking God for everyone to have an equal opportunity for full self-expression, for abundance, and for personal happiness\u2014while they, themselves, continue to co-create the opposite.<\/p>\n
It is true. All the while that we humans send up our prayers to God, we deny that we, ourselves, are continuing to co-create the opposite of that for which we say we yearn. And there is one thing we can be certain of in our relationship with God: God will always give us Free Will, allowing us to create in our collective experience whatever it is we choose to create — even when it violates the spirit of everything we say<\/em> we wish to create.<\/p>\n The chief problem facing humanity today is our absolute refusal to accept responsibility for the experiences that we, ourselves, are collaboratively creating.<\/b><\/p>\n What God deeply desires us to do is to allow God to empower us. Yet when we turn to God for the wrong kind of help at the wrong time, it disempowers <\/em>us, because it affirms our thought that that we are the victims<\/em> of the circumstances in which we find ourselves.<\/p>\n FOCUS: The Nature of God and Life\/an exploration of critical importance in our time<\/span> As well, it furthers our thought that we are powerless to alter<\/em> the circumstance we have created, and that God is now the only one who can help us — if there even is<\/em> a \u201cGod.\u201d<\/p>\n As long as most people think of themselves as being <\/strong>at the effect<\/b><\/em> of the events or circumstances in their lives, they are bound to repeat them, because they are not aware of <\/strong>how or why those events have occurred.<\/b><\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n This is a declaration, in 40 words, of the precise reason that life is the way it is on the Planet Earth today.<\/p>\n People are not at the effect of the global events and circumstances in their lives, they are collectively at cause in the matter. <\/em><\/p>\n Every event and circumstance on Earth is jointly produced, placed into the collective reality as a collaborative creation of The Collective Itself.<\/p>\n And the tragedy is that The Collective does not know this\u2014or, worse yet, does<\/em> know this, and merely acts <\/em>as if it does not.<\/p>\n Much of this has to do with our understanding of the nature of God itself. Is there even a being called “God”? What is the true nature of The Divine — and what does it want, need, require? What does it actually do<\/em> in our lives? How does Divinity interact with Humanity? What is the nature of this relationship? Does it even exist?<\/p>\n These questions and more will be explored here in this multi-part series titled FOCUS: The Nature of God and Life\/an exploration of critical importance in our time<\/span>, headlining The Global Conversation online newspaper in the weeks ahead.\u00a0 I hope you will join in the discussion by posting in the Comment Section below — and invite your family, friends, and acquaintances to do the same. Now is the moment for a worldwide conversation on a matter of global impact and universal significance.<\/p>\n In the months ahead I will bring this discussion right into your home via telephone and video links. Look for that from CWGConnect. In the meantime, join us here for the online print-media element of this exploration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" God is the source of all help to people in the world, but most people are asking God for the wrong kind of help\u2014and even then they often do not turn to God except when it is too late.
