A Vision for Great Nature
We envision a world where
everyone sees the life in all things; where the animals, trees, plants, even
the largest mountains and smallest pebbles are seen and honored for the spark
of consciousness that resides within them. We see people beginning to treat
Great Nature the way they would want themselves to be treated, and in response,
Great Nature has begun to open her arms, reveal her secrets, and share her
abundance with us like never before.
Now we see a partnership
formed between humanity and Great Nature whereby people everywhere are
rejuvenated and recreated because we are regularly walking the woodlands,
visiting the shores, hiking the mountain trails, swimming in the lakes and
streams. We see a grounding taking place within us now that we are touching the
Earth and reestablishing our ancient connection - and as a result, the
speediness of life has given way to a tranquility in mankind and womankind.
Once we learned that something magical happens when we take off our shoes, soak
our feet, bathe and baptize ourselves in the natural waters, we gained a relief
from our seriousness and the cares of life.
Now we see things more clearly, make better
decisions, and live happier lives because we've made friends with the best
friend we could have: Great Nature.

#4767 The Magnificence of Your Being
God said:
See yourself as I see you, and you will be the most humble
person in the world. You will be the most humble person in the world because
you will know that you are in no need of embellishment. Unless you thought you
were tarnished, what need of polishing would you have?
So much for ego, dear ones.
When you know the magnificence of your Being, what need of pride would you
have?
Humility is not something you assume. Humility is simply yourself without lack
and, therefore, without perceived need for more. When you know the strength of
yourself, what would you ask for to be added to you?
When you know thyself, what attributes would you imagine you must grab for
yourself?
When you know the color blue, you know it. Then you don’t have to question any
longer. You will be able to answer questions about skies of blue. You will not
have to ask anyone else about the cast of blue. You will not need
confirmation. Nor will your attention be on blue. Blue will be secured within
you. What is left to ask?
When you are simply aware of your Truth, where would coveting, greed,
envy, jealousy come from? What reason for them could there be?
When you are unaware of the Truth of yourself, what can satisfy you? How many
diamonds would be enough? How much love from the world and acclaim could
appease you or appease you for long? When you know, and I mean really know, not
just have an idea, what in the world can there be that you must have more of?
When you have Being Itself in the palm of your hand, what else can you imagine
will fit?
If the whole world bowed down to you, it would not equal one percent of one
percent of your awareness of God and yourself and your birthright to the
Oneness and closeness to God and yourself. You would know the difference
between the material and the Divine. You would enjoy the material much more,
yet you would not be dependent upon it. Just as a child can enjoy plastic
baubles, so would you enjoy the world at large. Gold or dross would not matter
to you, for all of it is illusion. When you embrace the Truth, the world is
more precious to you, and you feel more responsible for it and for those
who don’t yet know the whole story.
When you have everything, it is natural to give. When you are not denied
anything, what would you deny another?
You would know what the word trust means, yet you would more than trust. You
would know. You would know that all is well whatever may dance on the surface.
You will not need the world to reassure you. You are assured. You are not a
know-it-all. You know all that you have to know. In actuality, you already know
it.
Even if you could not read or write, it would not matter. Even if you were
missing limbs, it would be okay. You could be deaf and blind, and yet you would
hear and see beyond where physical eyes can see and the conch
shells of ears can hear. The words God’s
Child take on a new meaning for you as do the words Your Father and the Kingdom of Heaven and Truth and Love and Wisdom.
As it is presently for many or most of My Children, nothing can satisfy you,
for you are unsatisfied and not yet capable of being satisfied. The extant
world just can’t fill your need for satisfaction. Entrenched in the world, you
are forever seeking more and more, for the world cannot, of itself, fulfill
you. You are missing a major portion of the puzzle. You really have it yet you
miss it because you haven’t yet seen it as your own.
