Thank God I am God!

Thank God I am God! Thank God that I am unlimited and whole, the Creator of my holy life! Thank God God is fully present in me as he/she is wholly present in every single aspect of every created being, thing or Universe! Thank God I know who I am, God fully conscious of itself in whatever I see, hear, feel, touch or heal!

The greatest dream that I can think of is to be God, the loving omnipotency consciously embracing the unbroken Oneness of it's holy Being, - or the Creator gently carrying all of Creation. If grateful (k)nowingness of having a new job, car or lover definitely brings results, why should not God fully imagined and embraced in unbroken gratitude bring about God's conscious presence in my mind or in your mind? The only things standing between you and God are your own limited thoughts about your own nature; God or Quantum Field of Creation is definitely present in all beings and in everything all the time.

The only time you need to be One with God is the time you need to recognise and release your own limited thoughts that keep God away from your consciousness. Your brain and body is built to handle all of Life, the whole God and all the Universes - just let the still unused 95 % of both your brain and your genes to be kicked in action. The grateful (k)nowing that you are the whole of it - or God - gives you the kiss that awakens the Sleeping God that you are!

after



God

For the Fun of the One

The Oneness of all Life
the Simplicity of all Being
is within us
it is
what we all are

We are the Fun of the One
the sweet forever clothed
in things, times and
events of man

We are the Fun of the One
the jolly forever
entangled in human
webs of the world

We are the Fun of the One
forever waiting for us
just around the corner
of our own mind

I am the Fun of the One
still enjoying the fact
of having forgotten
to have Fun with the One

You are the Fun of the One
the joy of getting to know yourself
in the games of the One
having Fun with itself

We are both
and all
in this game
only
for the Fun of the One





The Challenge of the Street

People here and there
all over the place
Cars swishing past
buses spilling their fumes
The pressure of the city
splayed upon my senses

Suddenly then and there
my mind faces the challenge
It becomes extremely calm
focuses somewhere else
beyond the din of the city

I am on the street
and I am not on the street
I walk through the jungle
untouched
unmoved

I see it all
I hear it all
I smell it all
and I even touch it
I float over
above
and beyond all
that my senses bring in

I am something else
something more than
the world I live in

I am




A Lecture of Truth

I face the crowd
eagerly waiting to hear
what I have to say

My mind is empty
in chaos
Don’ t know
what to say
where to start

I am naked
I am afraid

I love these people

I summon my will
my determination
to meet them
from the sacred place
within me

I stand still

The sacred takes over
flows through me
through the world
gathered around me

From above, beyond and within
the silence of Truth reigns
and conveys the simple
message of Love

The heightened simplicity
remains
it fills the whole world within me
when on my way home I step
in a crowded tram
I am
the tram as well




On the Road

It’s a beautiful God’s day
within and without me

Summer Solstice

I am driving to the country
my baby daughter
in her cot beside me

I am simple Joy
silently singing through me
knowing no bounds
seeing no shadows
just the flow of all and everything

My daughter’s tiny wise hand
reaches out to my arm
and caresses it softly

I reach out with my right hand
and gently embrace her hand
in my palm

The road is straight in front of us
We are united for a short eternity

Her sweetly knowing smile
reveals our bliss of Now

We are One




The Knowingness

I sit in a coach
The glistening winter’s day
is about to turn into
inpenetrable darkness

I am on my way across the country
Tonight an hour after my arrival
I am to talk to some people
eager to hear me

The simplicity of my being deepens
as the darkness deepens around me

Somewhere from within
arises a knowingness
this coach is not going to make it in time
it is going to stop by the roadside

I just sit in my simplicity
I know without doubt

I hear a bang
the coach shudders and
comes to a standstill

I take my bag and
walk down the isle
The driver says
he needs at least an hour
to prepare the tire

I step out into a tunnel of darkness
walk behind the coach and
raise my thumb

The first car stops
A traveling salesman
takes me to the lecture-hall
well in time

I arrive in knowingness





The Forest of Life

With the compass of my mind in readiness
I step into a huge forest of fir, pine and birch
a forest that has been untouched by man
for the past half a century

I intend to walk back to the ancient village
where we started by car this morning

About fifteen miles of unknown wilderness
only briefly studied from a satellite photo

I am to make my way back
trusting the knowingness of my mind
Just me and my forest

The din of gnats and mosquitos in my ears
penetrates the net protecting my face

I walk through bushes and branches
wade over bogs and marshlands
climb over hills and ditches
Totally focused on getting back
to the village

I trust
I do not waver

I am back faster and straighter than
my friend who has made same trip
with a local guide

My knowingness is triumphant




A Night of God

I am exhausted after having tried out
all the possible means of being a man

I have tried to change the world
to change myself
and to change my nearest
and dearest

I have tried all that a man can
I am at my wits end

I step out into our garden
The evening is dark and
only glints of light penetrate
the shadows surrounding me

I have nowhere to go

”What am I to do in this world?”
echoes urgently in my mind

The answer arises in a flash
it is simple and clear

”Be God”

The answer reverberates
creates its own reality
of bliss.

I am filled with causeless Joy
with the pure Joy of Being

Everything is enlightened in my mind’s eye
even the darkness of the night vanishes
in the light of God

God is so simple and so near
Always ready to serve
ready to be the world

I am




The Silence of Ease

what is this silence
this strange and new
what is this void so full
that knows no fear
nor direction
what is this joyful ease
that nothing ever can dam

the facts of my wit can never tell
where arises this life so simple
the words of my tongue
can never reach
this peace
born beyond the word

WAR – WHO PROFITS FROM DEATH, MISERY AND FEAR?

What are the patterns of war, the general ideas behind the major wars that have been fought on the European continent since the French Revolution? What are the common traits, the psychological reasons that time after time have led European nations to war against each other? And what is the actual outcome, the balance of all the many wars fought?

I question the necessity of war as a natural extension of politics and I also question the common man’s inner nature of violence as the reason for the great wars of our history and ask instead who has profited by the wars we have fought. Is there any possible party at all that would profit by the continuance of war between nations, ideologies or religions?

It is obvious that every war fought has bought enormous amount of misery, death and destruction to all the nations and peoples involved. The soldiers of every partaking nation have given their lives for the machinery of war; they have died or got wounded either in flesh or in mind. They have carried the practical burden of every war ever fought. The civilian populations, who have through the development of technology been gradually brought into the focus of war, have more and more shared their plight. The rape and destruction of war has killed and maimed tens and hundreds of millions of people in Europe since the French Revolution at the end of 18th century. The common man has not profited by any of these wars – or has he?

Equally have millions and millions of homes, farms and towns been destroyed in the fire-belching movements of the dragons of war. Homes and towns have been devastated, rebuilt and devastated again to be eventually rebuilt again some day. It is the common man, woman and child who have lost his livelihood, his sweet home with all the dear belongings. It is the common man of every nation involved who has borne the burden of every single war. They have paid with their blood and their suffering.

How is it with the ideologies that we have fought our wars for? What is the state of “freedom, equality and brotherhood” in Europe after all the wars fought for them? What has happened to the national ideologies that have led us to war after war? How have fared the political ideologies that we have fought for or against for centuries? What is the state of royalty, communism, socialism, nationalism, nazism, imperialism or capitalism? What is the balance of over 200 years of ideological development in Europe? And what is the state of religion, how has the church and it’s basic ideology of God’s love fared during these years? Who or what has won and gained ground and why? Has the common man gained, are we truly the winners? Are we free, are we equal, do we share a brotherhood with every man, woman and child?

Question also arises why and how – in the face of obvious misery that ever war has brought with it – the common man has time after time been enticed to enter war to experience both killing and being killed? Why do men go to war to kill each other and the women and children of the “enemy”? Didn’t all of the leave behind their mothers, wives and children, their loved ones to be eventually be raped and killed by “the enemy”? Do we really protect our own by destroying the enemies?

Or have we ever really go rid of our “enemies” by warring against them and killing them? Have we got rid of all the people who don’t look, think and act like we do? For isn’t it the differences of the nation, politics, ideologies, race, culture, language or religion that have been used to create those monstrous images of “the enemy” that should be vanquished and warred against? Why do we need enemies and why are new enemies constantly created and perpetrated after the old ones become non-potent and meaningless? And how do we know who is our enemy? Or where is the image of the enemy created and why?

So what is the point of war? Why do men go to war? Or why are they led to war? Is there a party who would profit by creation wars, sending nations to crush each other in the violent embrace of war? There must be a reason, a common factor arising from human psychology that explains and makes it possible to send us to wars against “the enemy” – whether he is the communist, the nazi, the terrorist, the other or whatever.

There is one major human field of enterprise that may reveal some answers to these questions. This field uses military terminology and even strategies in its daily activities. During the last 200 years it has been the most successful of all the human ideologies, which is shown in its ability to practically unite the whole of Europe – and also the rest of the world – under its rule. It has succeeded in where all the military conquerors have failed. It has been able to submit the whole of our dear world under its rule, which according the great theoretician of war Carl von Clausewitz is also the basic definition and purpose of war and warfare.

Every war is a huge financial enterprise. The threatening enemy makes nations ready to spend millions upon millions of whatever currency to prepare themselves for the eventual war, they equip armies, buy arms, ammunitions and all the other necessities of warfare. The more the nations are afraid of each other the more money they spend on arms. And the munitions makers are always ready to sell, always ready to organise huge loans for those who otherwise couldn’t afford their wares. And business is business; arms are sold to all parties of all conflicts. And any result of any war is lucrative to the arms dealers, it’s a win-win situation were they are the ones who win every time. The winner of the war pays its debts with valuables looted from the loosing party, and the loosing party is held in a tight grip of debts, which can then be used to squander the remaining natural resources (such as oil and minerals) of the country.

As a result of every war fought during these 200 years the power of the actual ruler – the king, government, president or prime-minister – has diminished in proportion to the increase of debts that the country has incurred in order to fight the war. It hasn’t mattered whether you win or lose the war on the battlefield; you lose it anyhow in the balance sheet of power, which has gradually shifted the ruling impetus of the world into the hands of those who rule the debts that burden every single nation of our world. And those who have all the money, are also the ones who own all the major multinational companies including all the major media enterprises. When the power of money, the power of production and the power of information is concentrated in the hands of a small enormously rich elite, we are now ready to enter the “The Brave New World” where the atrocities of both nazism and communism become a grim reality under the auspices of benign free market capitalism, the ideology that warred against and won its “enemies” and became worse than they ever were in their usurpation of all the living resources of men and nature.

The world of business, banking and finance is the only true winner in every single war that we have ever fought. In the name of capitalism and free market economy it has used war and the threat of war as a means of gaining dominion over the whole population of the world. The development of the media and information technology has made it possible to rule the minds of men as a one fearful entity who seeks and accepts whatever solutions presented in the face of constant flow of threads and fears that seem to rule the world. This genius amongst all ideologies has camouflaged itself behind all kinds of fronts and even opposing realities, which all share the same aim and purpose: to create a world ruled by an elite who considers itself to be above the rubble of common men and women. All that truly matters for this elite is their own freedom, their own ability to realise their dream of absolute power over the world and its inhabitants. This elite uses the common old slogans of “freedom, equality and brotherhood” to market its own power structure that rules the world through free manipulation of markets and human minds.

In a world where the multinational corporations get bigger and bigger every day, where national governments have already lost their true governing grip in the face of the enormous amounts of debts that they have accumulated during the free-spending years of war or during the years lived under the constant threat of war. All the nations of the world are deeply indebted to the multinational network of ultimately private bankers of the world. No wonder that every king, president and prime minister has already learned to respect the messages and messengers of these true rulers of the world.

Right now the free market economy RULES OK! There are no viable alternatives to the free corporate rule of the whole of the world! The game is almost finished! The elite has almost won, realised its dream of absolute rule! We the common men and women have almost given up, the war upon our minds has made us weary and lazy; nothing seems to matter, nothing seems to be able to halt this train of destruction that we have bought our dear tickets from the marketers of free corporate rule of the world. We are all being sold to the lowest bidder, to the forces of the free market that can always find a cheaper and poorer country to produce the things and products that have been our livelihood. “50 cents, 50 cents first, 50 cents second, 50 cents for the third time. Item number 552 22297 sold to an anonymous bidder from over there. Next please!”

The winner takes it all, and gains the true essence of his enemy in order to some day be able to balance it out in love and understanding. This is what is happening right now in our world, this is where all the warring has lead us, this is what we have to face, or die together with those who haven’t yet learned that there truly exist only one enemy, only one entity, which needs to be faced and conquered.

That enemy is my own human self, my own human set of thoughts and thinking that keeps me in the repeating mode of death and destruction, keeps me searching for the power from the submission of others instead of using my birthright of power upon my own world, upon my own experiences. When I know who I am, when I know that I do have the power – the will – to create all the worlds and experiences that I ever wish to meet, then and only then does my search for power ever end. And my search for power arises from the same emptiness, which has led our corporate leaders and financial geniuses to create and almost realise their cruel dream of absolute power upon the masses of the world. I have the same ailment, and only by facing and healing it in myself, can I ever diminish and eventually nullify the grip that corporate power structure has upon our dear living world.

There remains one major source of power that can sort out and solve this mess that we have created for ourselves. It is not the multinational corporations – they just reflect the ultimate form of our own greed. It is not the international bankers – they just reflect the ultimate form of our own need to control. It is not our own or the world government – they have already sold themselves to the greedy controllers. It is not mighty media enterprises – which sing the songs of those who pay their bills. It’s not the God of our religion – who only wants to keep me enclosed to the blind rule of his followers. It is not our fathers, mothers, forefathers or other predecessors – who all did their best with what they had.

It is the Living God that resides, and waits for your orders within yourself. It is the God’s presence in each and every one of us, which met, accepted and used gives us direct access to all the aspects of our life and our world. God in me gives me everything I ever can think of and focus upon, God in me, and you – instead of a illusory God somewhere out there in the hands of some greedy individual selling me his visions of convoluted power through some monstrous religious, financial or political greed.

I am the creator of my world. Whatever I think, accept as a common thought, becomes my reality. That is our birthright as sons and daughters of Living God in us. That is the power that maintains this miserable world, for as long as we maintain our miserable thoughts and emotions our world is bound to reflect that in its expression. So the only thing we need to win and conquer is our own thought, our own reactions to the stimuli of the world. This is what quantum mechanics has actually been telling us for decades: The Observer is intricately united with his experiment – his world – and only gets the results that he is prepared for or is ready to observe!

When I see the world with the fearful eyes of a controlled human being, I maintain a world of that effect. When I choose to see the world with the all-accepting love of God – also residing in all of us – I create a world of love and acceptance. That’s how simple it is! Which is the very reason that is not simple for us. We have been educated to excel in intellectual complicity, where simplicity is seen as a sign of stupidity instead of geniality.

Just as our dear brother Jesus said the Kingdom of God is for the children, for those who have the power of the simple and uncomplicated mind. That is what God is, that is what resides hidden under our cloaks of fear in core of every single human being. That simplicity is the freedom we all are after, that simplicity is the equality that we all yearn for, and that simplicity is the brotherhood that we have just forgotten for a short while. A God realising his or her Godhood in human form, cannot NOT to see and respect the same sacredness in each and everything around himself. That is the God that we all are. The selfsame source of Everything.

The Village of Light

The spirit of the village is clear and simple, the inhabitants acknowledge their own power and worth. They know that Life is in their hands, the world dependent upon their mind. The inhabitants are a varied lot of all sizes, all abilities and all ages. They are all equal and sovereign rulers of their of life, ready to share joyfully in the common game of life and to be challenged torealize all that we eventually can accomplish. They all know that life is an adventure, that they themselves are the main star of their own life, the centerpoint of their reality. They are ready for all playful joys, ready to examine together the peace that arises from their own heart. Love is their greatest law, joy their only rule and a big wide grin the best way to recognice them.

The village is in the middle of nature, where life can flow as freely and clearly as possible and fill the entire sphere of earth, air and water with its eternal vibration. The buildings of the village arise from the earth reaching out towards the peace of the heavens. They are simple and clear; made of wood,stone, glass and iron - natural elements in the houses of these benevolently sovereign beings. They are heated with wood and sun, they create their own electricity, and are autonomous like their inhabitants.There are all kinds of green fields and orchards around the village, the inhabitants grow most of their own food and drink, they cultivate their own vegetables, their milk and meat. The village is a part of the whole world. There are no borders, no fences, the village extends to the far reaches of the world.

The inhabitants of the village are free and independent, they have no debts nor loans, nothing to stop the from following their own joy towards new adventures of life. They are ready alone and together to reach towards and beyond the borders that the world sets for human beings. They are in their own power knowing their own limitations and ready to help each other in the opening and blooming that belongs to a human being. They know that each and everything is a part of the whole, they know that all life flows from the same eternal source, and they know their own place in the wholeness of life, their responsibility as the conscious former and creator of the miracle of life. They recognize the divinity within themselves and in all, they acknowledge the creator in their own deeds as well as in the deeds of their neighbours. They meet the shared divinity of all life both within and without themselves. The villagers are alive, carried by life itself - carrying it. They are enlighted by joy and governed by love, they are all in all, the earthly reflection of the immensity of love, the wonderful vibration of joy, the light.

I am God -You are.
You are God - I am

That is the greatest message there is. That is the God essence that impermeates every single human being, every single being and every single thing. That is the God essence giving rise to all and everything. That is God's Voice, the Master Voice in everyone of us.

It took me a lifetime to unearth the message from under the messy entanglements of my human life, it took me a life lived with the knowledge that all human problems and eternal questions are challenges that can be - and need to be - faced and solved. There cannot be anything that we humans have created that we cannot undo and recreate. That I knew in the heart of my heart - I just needed to figure out how to do it.

It took me a lifetime to figure out this message and to really understand what "I am God - You are" means. I was numb to it, even though I somehow knew it. I sought for somebody to say it to me, I sought for the acknowledgement from outside of myself. I sought it from the men and women of my world, I sought is from my father, from my mother, from my teachers, from my wives and even from my children. I sought the God from outside of my self.

Many times I thought that I had found the God I needed to find. Every time I was eventually thoroughly disappointed with the God that I had found - whether it was a God of home, religion, science or philosophy. Every single God that I could find had a hidden fatal flaw, something that could not measure to the ideal of God that I carried within myself.

And that was the clue that finally gave me the key to the mystery of my being, " the ideal of God within myself". The God of the world can never measure to the ideal within, for God can only be found from within. God is the ideal that we all carry within us. God is the ideal that we all are, the totality of all life seeking its creative expression through every single being and thing that exists, has existed or is ever going to exists.

God is all and everything, the wholeness of all life pouring out through us in an eternal flow of creation. We - every single one - govern this flow individually through the action of our thoughts. What we think is what we get. What we hold on as ours - consciously or unconsciously - becomes the life that we get to live. Or the life that we live is the mirror of all our own creative thoughts maintained in the recesses of our mind. I am the God - the Creator - that I have sought. I am the mind that in its infinite love maintains all my worlds just the way I want them - just the way I think them to be.

I am God - You are. "I am" is the potentiality of all and everything - it is the creative vibrating energy of the Universe waiting to be expressed in all the possible forms. "God" is the greatest ideal that we can ever think and express, "God" is the biggest dream, the only vision that can ever unite all the possible expressions of itself. "You are" is Gods chosen expression, "You are" what God in you has chosen to feel, think and create. "You are" is God in action, God's creation going on in eternity.

You are God - I am. You are what I am, an individual expression of the creative principle "I am". You and I are equals, we are God expressing itself through a human form - however we ever choose to express the God that we are. "I am" is the way, the truth and life, the common source of all Gods and all of their creations. "I am" is the source and the primal mover of all created beings and things. "I am" is God's energy formed and expressed through all the thoughts that we can think of, through all the deeds we have ever thought of and through all the things that we have ever made or achieved in life. "I am " is the Life itself within each and everyone of us.

"I am" is God within. "I am" is the source we first need to acknowledge and realise in ourselves in order to ever see the selfsame God in the "I am" of your being. You and I - all of us - we are Gods struggling to remember our eternal being, Gods relearning to be and express what we have always been and shall ever be, Gods creating and expressing all the possible worlds within the Oneness of our own being.

We are all Gods - God expessing itself in human form. That is what I am, that is what you are, God in a human form.
