what I had done and where it would place me

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

Wow, what a week. Or maybe it's been a month or two. Wow it feels like many months. I have figured out more each day as I go along.

I guess I will start with Helene. We had a giant hurricane go by off-shore. It was 160 miles away, but the storm surge into the Tampa Bay was over 6 feet of water. Countless people in church and along the coast were flooded out. Yes, 2-3 feet of water into a house that never got wet before. Yes, I already wrote about this and how busy I was helping families and all. Then we had our Wednesday night Welcome Team meeting. On my bike ride home I got into an accident or something.

Morning meal,

I remember leaving the church close to 9pm and biking across the parting lot. Then I awoke in the hospital at 2am . . . They told me I had a concussion and six cracked ribs. WHAT? They couldn't tell me anything more. No one knew how I got there or what had happened to me. When I asked the nurses, they found my bike was in the garage, but nothing else. The physical therapist came in and asked about my house and how many steps I had. They told me I had to be able to walk up steps before they could send me home. When the nurse finally told me I could leave, I was ready to go. They called a cab and I waited over an hour. Wow, was that guy a jerk, but I got home with my bike and gave him twenty bucks anyway. I was so happy to get home, I walked in and about fell into the new queen bunk that Carlos and I had installed.

What we have been waiting for is all the lessons you put together from Exodus 90. Each day you heard more and more related to these experiences you have had, and what you learned.

An Angel checking in on me!

5:30pm 10/15/2024 . . . . I know it's always about sharing Your Word! I'm really struggling trying to keep up. First I'm in pain. Second I can't sleep too well. Third I seem to get more and more stressors coming at me all the time. I try to keep up and share and lead as best as I can, whenever I can. It's really not easy and for the most part is getting more and more difficult to follow and understand and keep up with. Worse still whenever I get comfortable enough for just a moment to read, or write, or blog, or whatever I need to do, then suddenly another mosquito shows up biting me somewhere. I can't seem to get any peace or solitude to stay focused and work on anything. I finally went shopping today and got myself some beer, so I’m ready to have my end-of-the-day beer already. But I'm still swatting at mosquitoes. . . I even broke off a key from my laptop trying to get a mosquito with my flyswatter.

What did you do now?

1:26pm 10/17/2024 I found my nest of breeding mosquitoes. It was literally right next to me on the counter, where I had setup my latest vegetable seeding bed. I was frustrated with the mess I make outside. I never felt like the seeding beds were working, and usually were a big mess. Yes, so I had to try to get one going inside. Of course, I literally took some seedlings out yesterday and planted them. 

Anyway, today Dick started me with SEEL again, or the “Spiritual Exercises for Everyday Living.” And I started reading in the book at the very beginning again. Yes, I read, sometimes, just a little, believe it or not! Anyway it wasn’t page 2 of my Ignatian Adventure book that begins with the story of a law student… lol, you’ll laugh at the legal treatise I sent to my Exodus Brothers yesterday….  Oh yea, so Page 2 in the book has my first Highlight, now bolder, darker and needing more attention… “To whom much is given, much is expected.”

Uhg, the story of my life!

Which I also posted to my "Men of God" group that I created on the Apple Chat service. I realized how I've been working this Team of Brothers to help me step deeper into my place and responsibility. Wow, I guess this has been in my face over and over today. This morning the Exodus reading was about Wisdom. And so I sent it to Lisette as we recognized and talked about this being the highest and most critical request. It's one thing to ask God for things, the Greatest request is to see as “God Sees” . . . I'm totally perplexed how many times I've come back to explaining to people how to ask for God's perspective.

 

I've always said that asking for God's Perception in all things is ideal. What does God want, what is the best to give in Love. But then I have said this is what it means to have "grown up in the Woods." Yes, listening to the life in the woods and seeking for the guidance of life, from life in all things. And God IS all life in the Woods, so all the Light and Love we feel through the woods is the experience of God. Knowing the unity and omnipresence of God, is seeing and experiencing God in ALL Life and then the Woods is all God.

I sent this Exodus readings to Lisette and I went to find a YouTube to listen to while making breakfast. Yes it's nice to continue in Spirit instead of the gossip on the radio. I guess my last YouTube visit was listening to the Eucharist Conference with Bishop Barron. So I jumped right into this sermon above from Bishop Barron on Sunday about wisdom, of course. What was so neat about this is how he was so clear and focused about God asking us, “What do we really really want”

What did you remember and write about?

I know, so OK here we go again. I remembered not wanting to wake up in the hospital after my motorcycle accident at 16. No I didn’t wanna come back. No, I wasn’t ready for anything, so God in his infinite Grace asked me ”what would I come back for?”  if He could give me anything, ”what would it be?” Oh, I grew up in the woods, so that was an easy thing to say. I wanted the world returned to Eden. I wanted the love and the beauty of the woods to be everywhere for everyone. God created this awesome Garden of Eden and I knew we belong in it. What else could I ask for?!

What was great about this moment was you were really specific and wanted to see the world as God had Dreamed and Planned. You were tired of the greed and selfishness of the American Machine. And of course, we want nothing more for all the people of Earth. Begging God to bring humanity back into the Garden of Eden was real noble and wonderful. However, do you remember God has never left The Garden and it was man's choice to leave, so such a request is up to you, not God at all. 

I know you’re so good at flipping things around on top of me again. So this spin is that we need to make the choice to return ourselves. So the spin asking You to bring us back, had to shift to leading men back. Now my Deepest Desire was to guide mankind back to this choice! I guess what I really was seeking, or asking, was for the guidance and wisdom to lead man back to this Garden of Eden With God! I knew there had to be a way for us to return. I know Jesus had brought us home from our sins to restore our relationship with God. And now returning home was about developing this relationship.

12:12pm 10/19/2024 As I remember returning to life after that accident, the desire was to understand “how.” How do we restore ourselves in the Garden of Eden? How does this become possible? What steps do we take to move into that space? What steps do we take to restore the Earth to its original beauty? What can we do as a race to bring us back to where we belong in this relationship with God?

How could it be all designed? How could we restore the original design? It is all a choice for us.

What you first wrote is remarkably similar to this. The key here is how specific you were about your love of God. The deepest desire expressed over and over was about fulfilling the Dreams and Plans of God. You never questioned what they were or what your place and benefit were. You were specific about God. Fulfilling God. No personal gain or desire, no need to succeed or attain something. But you were focused on The Goals of the Other, in real Love of Other. That is real pure Love! When we spun it back on you saying that you had left us, your question then became how you could change this. How you personally, could help bring mankind back to the Garden of Eden? Once again, the deepest desire expressed was about fulfilling the love of Divinity you had seen and witnessed in your youth, lost in the woods.

I get it, but the problem that I still see was that all I pursued was “How.” How is it possible? How can this change? How do we return to Eden? It was always about understanding how I get it, but the problem that I still see was that all I pursued was how. How is it possible? How can this change? How do we return to Eden? It was always about an action “HOW.” I was serious about understanding an action. Understanding how! Your answer never made any sense to me and I’m still searching https://patents.google.com/patent/US20070170306

What we did, in allowing this exploration to continue, was allow you to create and express your own vision and love. Pressing your own deepest desires to fulfillment brings forth your own passion. Your own love, and your own creation evolved into expression. The beauty and Grace of God’s gift inside of you comes forward in Word!

What your deepest desire became was the strongest love and truth you could know and express. And if you remember when we left you to explore this on your own the Dream and Visions that evolved were life changing throughout the Earth. You have heard and seen many aspects of your dream appear over and over again!

You continue to discount this and pretend to be humble, but deep down inside you know how much you shifted everything: http://www.starsusa.org/homestead/files/Dreams.htm

What is remarkable still is how little mankind has learned or explored these deeper truths you pursued. Wanting to know "how" was more than seeking the Wisdom and the Prudence, it was about stepping into the role of Creator as well. As you were passionate about “how to“ not simply "how." Beyond the knowledge and skills, you were focused on the actions and timing of creation and transmutation that are so far beyond. 

I guess so, I never had considered that aspect. And now as I remember how the visions and experiences seemed to be something so simple. I really never knew what I had done and where it would place me in the future. I'm really not sure what to do on where this will bring me. I've been perplexed about how to express what I've learned and understand. I've struggled to be and express so much since the beginning Words with you!

What we are doing is putting you into the place where all things can move forward

I get it and I simply need to move forward.
Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ,, I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.
