A letter I wrote to my father

I have a father who wants to remind me that there are people who want to dissuade me from these who would steer me away from the cross...

My Jesus isn't on the cross anymore... instead...he is advocating for me day and night,,,when I miss the mark... I met Jesus in heaven,,, and he wasn't into Jesus worship... or hero worship... Jesus didn't even care if I knew his name...if I called him Buddha, or Krishna, or Abraham, or Barney the Dinosaur... He did die for me... but he died for everyone et al... meaning everyone who "ever" lived...but he didn't expect or desire my adoration for him but rather he had a special message he wanted delivered to me... from his father/mother...

My pre-Jesus was pretty high up among the upwardly mobile in the place where I went. He had a lot of pull there. He stood there at the end of time...while he looked up into the judge's eye... and he told me to look down or I would die... Not that dying would have been such a bad thing... "I had made it"... I had "arrived..." You see... this being I call pre-Jesus was the prosecutor and my defense on the trial of my life... There was also a being who was the judge before me... along with a jury of her/his peers... and there were two beings there who floated above him/her,,, and even though I couldn't look up to see them... I knew they were there... beaming love... The judge was neither male nor female... but he seemed like the best daddy who ever ever ever was...and she is the best mommy... Anyway... my pre-Jesus/ best friend... in the place where I went... also happened to be the prosecuting attorney for the world... and that is a good position to be in... if you happen to be in the world. Anyway....the trial began and I looked at my life... and I saw how I had been given beautiful gifts of love each and every day of my life... and I get to keep them forever...but not just me...everyone does....all of us..."all"... and it doesn't have a thing to do with believing anything... Your gifts are yours... My gifts are my gifts... and they will never... ever...ever...ever... and passing forever....into timelessness... ever be taken from us...and they will become who you are where time ends... It doesn't take hero worship to get these gifts... or believing in some prisoner hanging on a tree... and everything hung on a tree is cursed... It just takes receiving love... and it doesn't come from a cross... If you believe in love or not... you are loved... All it takes to receive gifts is to have a soul... as a soul is made out of love... If you ever had one loving thought in your whole life... then that means you...

Anyway....back to the trial...The being of Light(judge) showed me my life and I thanked what I called "God"(although he/she clearly did
not like all of the baggage that came with that name)for my life... and then God asked me a profound question that has changed my life forever... This being of light asked me if I had learned enough about love...

and then I judged myself... I kicked myself out of heaven and here I am again... My message is to quit the hero worship... Jesus is not on a tree anymore... quit looking outside of yourself for salvation but inside... Create a new you that can receive more of the gifts of love that love has to give you and me...and all....meaning everyone...

There is a secret though that I have figured out since my visit to the other side... You can't out-give love... You give it and you get back more than you gave... It doesn't matter if you hang a cross around your neck... or burn a cross in your heart... nor does it require you to believe in anything... Give love.... and you will get love...pressed down...shaken together and given back to you many times over..

So you don't have to believe...then so what? Some people don't need to believe... They just "do." In fact... most people just want to watch from the sidelines and "do" very little. They love their children...they love their friends... and maybe their husbands and wives... and that is all good...and fine...Those are good gifts... and you and everyone who does these things will get to keep those gifts long after they have faded away,,, and are forgotten by man... They are a gifts that "all" will keep forever... only those gifts that are for those who want to watch... but "doers"... and there are not too many of "doers".... they love those who love them... only more... they love those who do not love them... they love those who use them... and they love those who they don't know... and through this kind of love... they increase the gift that love has to give... When you love your children... that does not make you a hero... That is what you are supposed to do... Jesus is not a hero in my book... He was just taking care of what he was supposed to take care of... In fact... I don't have a hero... God is not even my hero... Some days I get angry that he let me kick myself out of her presence where I willingly walked out of heaven and fell back into my burning flesh... but I did learn this... Love works.

Start seeing the love in other people by loving other people... and it becomes a part of you... then keep on.... until you start loving more and more... and more... and somewhere on the journey you might even start seeing love in yourself...

Love is invisible but love is all there is when this world is shattered into trillions of tiny little pieces... but there is an invisible world... It looks much like the world we live in now... Love is what is left of this world when this world is through... The more love you give and the more love you receive... the more love attached to you will become what the new earth will be when this world has given up her ghost... Every beautiful thought and memory will be there... If you have a loving thought for your family and friends then your family and friends will be there...absent your un-loving thoughts for your family and friends... but if you stopped to smell a rose along the way... the rose will be there...the aroma will also be there for you and all who desire to share that love with you... will be there... If there is a beautiful view for you...that you loved... then it will become a part of the new earth... If you love your pet dog or cat... it is there... Whatever you love... is a gift in the making ...for the new world... and as each of us starts "doing" love to the greater everyone meaning all of everything then this sad and dying world will be transformed into a new and less dangerous world... where death has died...

It doesn't matter if you believe in love.... love believes in the love in you...and the love in me..and the love in you...and the love in everyone... and the love in everything that is love... Releasing that spirit of fear for those not just like me... I released my Jesus from the cross so he could go back to his job... of being my defense attorney... where he is retracting and burning all of those records of those moments when I didn't shine... Do love... Experiment with it... You don't have to believe in it and it doesn't have to hang on a tree so you can keep it... Just love and you will be loved.... in return... Tweet
