God-Don’t you see what you’re doing here? You make up the rules as you go! And you don’t see anything else? This is completely normal.
This is what you’re supposed to do! All of life is a process of deciding who you are and then experiencing it.
As you expand your vision, you invent new rules to cover this! As you expand your idea of Self, you create new do’s and don’ts, yes’s and no’s to surround it. These are the boundaries that “hold back” something that cannot be held back.
You cannot “hold back”, because you are as limitless as the Universe. Yet you can create a concept of your limitless self by imagining, and then accepting, the limits.
In a sense, it’s the only way to know yourself in a particular light.
What is limitless is limitless. What is unlimited is unlimited. It cannot exist anywhere, because it is everywhere. If it’s everywhere, it’s nowhere in particular.
God is everywhere. God is therefore nowhere in particular, because to be somewhere in particular, God would have to not be elsewhere – which is not possible for God.
There is only one thing that is “not possible” for God, and that is for God not to be God. God cannot “not be”. Nor can God not be like himself. God cannot “un-God” himself.
I’m everywhere, that’s all. And since I am everywhere, I am nowhere. And if I’m nowhere, where am I?
NOWHERE. or NOW -HERE
NDW- I like this ! You made this point in the first book, but I like it, so I’ll let you continue.
God It is very kind of you. And do you understand better now?
Do you see how you have created your ideas of “good” and “evil” simply to define who you are?
Do you see that without these limit definitions, you are nothing?
And do you see that, like Me, you continue to change boundaries as you change your Ideas of who you are?
NDW- Well, I understand what You’re saying, but it doesn’t seem like I’ve changed the boundaries much – my own personal boundaries. For me, killing has always been wrong. Stealing has always been wrong. It has always been wrong to hurt others. The larger concepts by which we govern ourselves have been in place since the dawn of time, and most human beings agree on them.
God- So why do you have war?
NDW-Because there will always be those who break the rules. There’s a bad apple in every barrel.
God-What I am going to tell you now, and in the passages that follow, may be very difficult for some people to understand and accept. This will violate much of what is considered truth in your current system of thought. But I cannot let you continue to live with these constructions if this dialogue is to serve you. So now, in this second book, we must confront some of these concepts head on. But it’s going to be bumpy here for a while. Are you ready?
NDW-I think so. Thanks for the warning.
What is so dramatic or difficult to understand or accept that you are going to tell me?
God-I’ll tell you this: there are no “bad apples.” There are only people who don’t agree with your point of view,
people who build another model of the world. I’ll tell you this: no one does anything inappropriate, given their model of the world.
NDW- So their “model” is completely messed up. I know what’s right and wrong, and because other people don’t know, it doesn’t make me crazy because I know. They are the ones who are crazy!
God-I’m sorry to say that this is exactly the attitude that starts wars.
NDW- I know I know. I was doing that on purpose. I’m just repeating here what I’ve heard many other people say. But how do you respond to people like that? What could I say?
God-You could tell them that people’s ideas about “good” and “bad” change and have changed again and again from culture to culture, from time period to time, from religion to another, from one place to another… and even from one family to another. family and person to person. You might point out to them that what many people considered “right” at one time – burning people at the stake for what was considered witchcraft, for example – is considered “wrong” today.
You could tell them that a definition of “good” and “evil” is one established not only by time, but also by simple geography. You might allow them to notice that certain activities on your planet (prostitution, for example) are illegal in one place and, just a few miles away, legal in another. So whether a person is judged to have done something “wrong” is not a matter of what they actually did, but where they did it.
Now, I’m going to repeat something that I said in volume 1, and I know that it was very, very difficult for some people to grasp, to understand.
Hitler went to heaven.
I’m not sure people are ready for that.
The purpose of this book, and all the books in the trilogy we are creating, is to create preparation for a new paradigm, a new understanding; a broader view, a bigger idea.
NDW- Well, I’m going to have to ask the questions here that I know so many people are thinking and wanting to ask.
NDW- How could a man like Hitler have gone to heaven? All the religions in the world…I think all of them have declared him condemned and sent straight to hell.
God- Firstly, he couldn’t have gone to hell because hell doesn’t exist. So there is only one place left where he could have gone.
But this raises questions. The real question is whether Hitler’s actions were “wrong.” Yet I have repeatedly said that there is no “good” or “evil” in the universe. A thing is not inherently good or bad. One thing simply is.
Now, your thinking that Hitler was a monster is based on the fact that he ordered the murder of millions of people, right?
NDW- Obviously yes.
God-What if I told you that what you call “death” is the greatest thing that could happen to anyone, then?
NDW- I would have a hard time accepting that.
God-Do you think life on Earth is better than life in heaven? I tell you, at the moment you die, you will realize the greatest freedom, the greatest peace, the greatest joy and the greatest love you have ever known. So should we punish Bre’r Fox for throwing Bre’r Rabbit into the briars?
You ignore the fact that, as wonderful as life after death may be, our lives here should not end against our will.
