WE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS the Earthly game in a way that might open you to another aspect of who you are as a physical being. Each of you has a persona or ego, that is as unique as your perception of what God is to you personally.

Though you may often feel blind as to where your perception of God is taking you, on inner and outer levels... you are in fact in charge of how your life unfolds.

Before you came to Earth, you fragmented into many aspects of yourself. These fragments make up the wholeness of what might be called your "soul group." Some of these fragments incarnated while others serve as guides and teachers as you would say, on the non-linear side of the veil. When coming into human form it is customary to forget most or even all, of who you are as an Essence of Light. But, the truth is that you have not really forgotten as much as you believe you have. Instead, you live to express all the variations of the creative source (God), in human form... and in other realms as other aspects of physical forms and non-physical forms. The many variations of human forms that you put on are called by your Earthly terms... past lives, re-incarnation or incarnations. We have shared our view of re-incarnation and incarnation in a previous message in 2008 so we will not address it again here.

Today we will speak of three levels of perception of how humans perceive God.

THE JUDGEMENTAL, VENGEFUL & PUNISHING GOD

As you look out into your world many cannot help to assume that God is a judging God and that the end of the world is coming soon. If this belief were true - which it is not - God would appear to be a Judging, Vengeful and Punishing God. Beliefs create perception and serve as filters that every thought, feeling and emotion is filtered through. These filters serve you by confirming what you believe to be true for you and strengthening your present personal perception of God in your present awareness level. A belief that God is a Judging, Revengeful and Punishing God is a personal perception of which will color and affect every aspect of a person's life.

Looking at each aspect of this perception separately will help to clarify what is being said.

JUDGEMENTAL GOD: A God that judges is a God that diminishes human worthiness; when one believes they have failed to live up to the expectations of their version of God. This creates feelings of deep guilt. There is much of this perception in your world right now because so many have lost their jobs, family members to war; their homes and life savings. Of course this perception ties in nicely with the "Vengeful God."

VENGEFUL GOD: This perception of God becomes one's way of seeing a world that is all about vengeance, which creates a belief of a loss of power; whether that loss of power is real or imagined. This can be a basis for starting wars between countries. War of some type can be found in every human aspect of life. War is arguing with your brother about wrecking your car. War is feeling angry and resentful. Competition of any kind often breeds war-like behavior. It is usually the one who loses in anything competitive, that suddenly feels wronged or cheated and that can trigger a need to be vindicated.

Where do such feelings and emotions stem from? They stem from beliefs and life experiences. These beliefs and experiences form a perception that is expressed through the filter of one's present self-knowledge... on inner and outer levels. Many of these perceptions have been passed down through the ages; through cultures, religions and families. The hard core beliefs of your ancestors, who are also you, are stored in your genetic coding as energy frequencies of which are passed down through the bloodline, from generation to generation. How they manifest for each person, depends on each person's perceptions.

PUNISHING GOD: A belief in a God that Punishes comes from the Old Testament, as does the Judgmental, Vengeful and Punishing perception of God. If you look back through to the beginning of recorded history, suffering through disease, famine, war, and traumatic Earth changes, such as: Tornadoes, floods and earthquakes, seemed to happen for no reason that very early man/woman could understand. So beliefs were formed and the power they called god or gods became a force that punished them when "the god/gods" were displeased. This belief still exists on your Earth after thousands of generations. The unaware and un-awakened will continue to punish those who don't believe the way they do; who don't speak the way they do; who don't live the way they do, and the list goes on and on. Does this justify dishonoring and shunning each other as fellow humans? You all know the answer to that.

The Judgmental, Vengeful and Punishing God triggers fears that cause one to stand and fight or to run away from the fear based beliefs that are triggered inside the body as feelings. This triggering affect can take place from outside the body or from the inside and then expressed outwardly. At this time on Earth it is understood why many people perceive the world and God with this perception filter. After all, by looking and listening to your news, life on Earth is in shambles and chaos. And to the unaware eye, it is indeed.

With a perception of a Judgmental, Vengeful and Punishing God, many are having a difficult time coping with their emotions and feelings. Some give up but others won't, because if they do... they fear they or their families may not survive. But the confusion and guilt that gnaws at a parent who is struggling to care for his/her family... is so overwhelming because they don't understand or know how to resolve their situation. Why? Their subconscious or conscious perception is that of a God of retribution, such as a Punishing, Judgmental and Vengeful God. With this perception, personal failure becomes the belief, which blocks inner knowing and inner guidance. Does this mean they are doomed? They themselves are not doomed, but their life as they know it may be, if they quit searching for answers. Help can come in the form of outside help if the person takes action to do anything they can to find a way to survive and remedy their situation; with a real intent to do so and not just go through the motions.

Have they or you really done something wrong to deserve such trauma? Absolutely not! All any of you have done is to agree to play the human game of finding the real you as the real God that lives in you... as agreed to on soul levels. It's you who are making your own rules on inner levels; often unknown consciously. If they were all known consciously, there would be no purpose for the game.

Can someone just jump into a more refined belief of their personal God with their present perception? No! Not until they move through the process of the challenges that confront them in this moment. Such challenges give a person no out or excuse to avoid growing beyond their present view or perception. If you feel your difficulties have happened "to you" instead of "for you"... you will be at the mercy of a Judging, Vengeful and Punishing God. This belief can make anyone feel trapped in a prison of suffering, when in fact the key to unlock your prison door is through the challenges and not over them. It doesn't matter whether you feel blind as to what to do next. What matters, is that you find your reasons; your way, to move through the process of your challenges. No step is wrong or right because any step is a step forward into self-awareness and soul growth. No matter what... you are growing in awareness of yourself.

THE JEALOUS & DECEITFUL GOD

With a God of jealousy and deceit, the perception is going to be one of constant competition and winning. In other words you will feel such a need to compete and win that the outcome can feel like a matter of life and death. And it doesn't matter how you win; even if it is through deceit.

The Ego is in control of every aspect of this perception of God. Those with this perception are ego, brain driven. The feelings expressed in this mode are merely those of jealously and greed.

The only way one with this perception can feel worthy of self acceptance... is by winning. Whether that winning takes place through:

Confrontations - An extreme need to prove that your views, your experiences, your feelings, your needs are the correct ones and are more important than another's.

Comparing - By comparing, someone with this perception is looking for ways to trick him/herself into believing that they are one of the better, if not a superior being, that others envy. This self-delusion is maintained as long as the person remains at the top of his/her game, so to speak.

Talent - Talent comes in so many endless variations and can be expressed through art, music, words, sports and so on. On the other hand talent can also be expressed as a doctor, a physicist, a mother or father, a teacher... you get the point. But too often those with the perception of a God of Jealousy and Deceit, exploit their own, or someone else's ability, with greed that is fueled by deceit.

Let's break it down.

JEALOUS GOD: A jealous God cannot help but to find reasons to be jealous. It is insecurity that is the foundation for feelings of jealousy. Jealousy is of the ego. Your Christian bible says: "Thou shall have no gods before me" and "Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or likeness of anything as in heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth." Are these not the words of a Jealous God? I leave that for you to decide.

Everything and everyone is God expressing God. God is in all manifestations no matter how they look or behave... therefore it is possible to honor the creative source in anyone or anything without worshipping or idolizing its form, by using your God awareness.

Jealousy is about needing to be idolized. A jealous God separates and repels because it instills fear in its believers.

The human tendency is to force self-obedience to a God they fear. With this perception, how can anyone help but to idolize that which reflects their perception of perfection, whether that be a movie star, a billion dollars or a god that you believe is more worthy than you. When you control your feelings, emotions, fears and needs with shear force, such as forced will power... you will attract experiences that test your rigid control, to give you the chance to loosen that rigidness and open you to being life, instead of forcing life to be you.

DECEITFUL GOD: A God of Deceit means: 'Misinterpretation, a deceiving trick; to persuade with false truths and lies.' Of course the old brain, also known as the limbic brain... will believe that deceit is necessary to survive. That belief comes from your ancestors who used deceit to fight their way out of bondage. Deceit was and still is a tool to survive and to control. But it is also used to control the masses in almost every country on your Earth. In this way deceit is archaic and it has no honorable use in your present world, of which is awakening.

THE LOVING GOD

The perception of God as Love is becoming more and more a part of the human experience as you activate the new brain. The new brain is a part of the brain that has been dormant in the masses for thousands of years. There have been those throughout each era of human life that have come in with what we are calling the new brain, already activated. Without soul infused people being on the Earth to help balance out the energy of the old brain, man as a species would not have survived and your beautiful planet would have been destroyed long before now.

The God of Love expresses as forgiveness, understanding and taking responsibility for yourself and your actions. The God of love signifies a God that is in balance with Itself. This perception gradually opens all humans in ways that allow a balancing effect inside of you.

Do you not see that the God of Love contains the creative power to be all things? Every one of you are proof of that. What makes man or woman what and who they are, is their feelings, beliefs, and emotions based on the combined experiences of all aspects of themselves in any form, Earthly or otherwise. When experienced purely through the limbic brain energy, it is the five senses that determine reality from non-reality; limiting perception of God and the Cosmos. The five senses of the human body are "me" oriented. Is it no wonder that there is a human perception of God that is Judgmental, Vengeful and Punishing?

As man has evolved and is now moving into the balancing portion of his/her inner awakening... the five senses are no longer exclusively used as the filters to view life through. Higher senses are now being used as well. The deeper levels of heart energy will and are allowing you to use inner wisdom and compassion, as you discover the endless ways to resolve human issues and bring the Earth and humanity to peace, by balancing the inner with the outer. When the perception of a God of Love overpowers a perception of a God of suffering, nothing will hold you back.

May Peace Reign Within and Without.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Carolyn Gervais, M.S., C.Htp., has been a student of "metaphysical-spirituality" for over 30 years. As a young child her yearning to understand why we were here on Earth, was - and still is - a constant. As a child, when she looked into the eyes of someone, whether she knew them or not... she could see and feel their sadness; their anger and their innocence.

A strong yearning to understand why became such a need that she would continuously drive the adults in her life crazy with questions as to why God made people and put them here on Earth. She was told that God didn't want us to know the answers to such questions, but some part of her knew, even at the age of eight... that answer was not acceptable. She was bound and determined that she would ask God all her questions until He answered them.

What she found out is that the answers keep expanding as we grow in awareness. With that expansion, the questions become deeper, bigger and more abstract, as do the answers. That is what stretches our awareness. Carolyn has spent her life in search of those answers and many more. Her inquiring mind has taken her into many aspects of study and experimentation... areas that pertain to the deeper meaning and purpose of the body, mind, soul and spirit.
