Many of the mornings on many of the days in the lives of many of the people on this planet, it’s not very easy to find a very good reason to throw back the covers and get out of bed.
Life feels like a struggle mentally, physically, and emotionally from morning to night, with no letup in sight, no relief on the way, no abatement on the horizon. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another…and the challenges don’t seem to be getting smaller, but just the opposite.
What’s the point of it all?, we ask…and it’s a fair question. It all ends in death? That’s it? We’ve gone through all of this for nothing?
We might as well make the best of it while we’re here, because there’s nothing more to it than that? The entirety of our Journey is the experience we’re having right here, right now — added to the experience we’ve had from our birth to this point, and that we’re going to have from this point until our death?
None of it has any implication or reason, purpose or function, consequence or ramification beyond that, and none of it has any significance or meaning except that which we, ourselves, invent (or what we allow our culture to convince us is “true”)?
Really?
I mean, really…?
Well, let’s see here. We’re told by many, many people that this is not the way it is. Our lives are more than meaningless meanderings through days and nights of aimless moments and purposeless existence, they say. There is a reason we are here, there is a point to it all, and that is what gives us the motivation to throw back the covers in the morning and lumber out of slumber to venture into The Adventure once more.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more…
I love Shakespeare, because he was more than one of the world’s most prolific, powerful, and poetic writers. He was a metaphysician of the first rank. He deeply understood the deeper aspects or the deepest reality we call Life. So I quote Shakespeare often, and sometimes, with a fond knowing that I have his total blessing, I may paraphrase or even ever so slightly alter his words to reflect my application of their present-day meaning.
Shakespeare wrote those words in Henry V, Act III, Scene I. The king was encouraging his soldiers before attacking an enemy. And while these are words before going to war, I know that Shakespeare meant them as more. As with all of his writing, they were replete with multiple meaning. Thus, this passage has been quoted for centuries as it may apply to each of our own “inner wars” — the internal struggle in which every human being engages as we rise up with courage each morn to face whatever onslaught the day may bring.
And so here is my own offering, with some abbreviation and tiny modification, when I quote this passage in the context of our daily battle with the human mind’s greatest enemy: a misunderstanding of what is occurring, why it is occurring, and what this entire life is really about:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more…
…in peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
as modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of life’s struggles blows in our ears,
then imitate the action of the tiger. . .
…now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
to its full height. On, on, you Noblest One…!
…Show us here the mettle of your pasture; let us swear
that you are worth your breeding;
for there is none of you so mean and base,
that hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
straining upon the start. The game’s afoot;
follow your spirit…!
Ah, yes, my lovelies…the game’s afoot. But what, exactly, is the game? That becomes the question of the day.
It has been the question from Day One. And now comes the answer, yet one more time, from one more source, in terms so clear, and words so simple and direct, that it cannot be misunderstood anymore.
We have heard the answer before, for sure. But from so many places and in so many ways, we no longer know what to believe.
Our more traditional religions tell us that the “game” is getting back to Heaven; returning to God; finding our way to Paradise; obtaining our Eternal Reward.
Some philosophies tell us it has nothing to do with “eternal” anything, and that our life is about exactly what we are experiencing here and now, making the most of it by giving the most to it, and being satisfied with that — which can be more than enough in a life well lived.
Some spiritual movements say it need not be an Either/Or proposition, but can be Both/And…plus, possibly, a great deal more.
In the first view — that of most of the more traditional religions — we are spiritual entities having a body and a mind, and there are rules we have to follow, things we have to do, things we have to make sure we do not do, and particular and specific ways we must accomplish all of this, in order to get back to God’s Spiritual Kingdom, from which we are told we have emerged. We are told, as well, that if we do not follow these rules, do not do these things, do not avoid these other things, and do not accomplish all of this in a certain and particular way, we will not get to God’s Spiritual Kingdom, but will be sent to the everlasting fires of hell, there to languish forever and ever in unremitting pain and unfathomable suffering as payment for our earthly transgressions — one of the most serious of which may be to have simply belonged to the wrong religion.
In the second view — that of the non-religious philosophers — we are simply (while admittedly highly sophisticated and complex) physical life forms, moving through the biological process of the Cosmos in which we are born, we live, and we die, ceasing to exist in any conscious form whatsoever thereafter, but having the ability while we are alive to affect not only the lives around us, but of those members of our species who follow us, in ways that cause us to be long remembered — and thus to give our lives meaning beyond our here-and-now existence.
In the third view, an amalgam of the first two, we are more than our biological sum and substance — and more, as well, than spiritual entities who live as obey-me-or-else subjects of a cosmic monarch
laying down the requirements for us to get back to a kingdom we can’t understand why we left in the first place.
The text we have been given in the 3,000+ pages of the Conversations with God dialogue addresses that word “more.”
If we are spiritual entities who never wanted to leave the Kingdom of God in the first place, then why did we leave? Is it possible that our Souls left that celestial location on purpose? Could we have done so not only willingly, but excitedly and joyfully?
CWG answers these questions and more, joining a long list of other sources, both ancient and contemporary, in telling us that there is a very special reason we are here, that our having been birthed was not a mere happenstance within a cosmic-wide biological process, that our lives have a purpose that stretches far beyond the end of our present-form physical/chemical expression, and that the very essence and energy of which we are comprised is identical to, and an extension of, the Essential Essence and Purest Energy of the Universe Itself, parts both seen and unseen — or what some of us have called God.
The purpose of this massive and endless process that we have chosen to call “life” is for that Essential Essence and Purest Energy to express Itself in such a way that it would know Itself in its own experience, at the same time expanding the awareness of the knowing of Its individual aspects, elements, and individuations.
Put in somewhat simpler terms, every expression of life is an expression of its Source, experiencing, displaying, and demonstrating aspects of that Source in singular and individuated form.
This means that all that lives (and if we define “lives” as that which is in motion, this would include everything) is an expression of the Divine, and the goal of all sentient beings is to become aware at higher and higher levels of the unlimited aspects of Who They Are, so that Adonai, Allah, Brahma, Elohim, God, Jehovah, Krishna, Rama, Vishnu, Yahweh, or by whatever other name our various global cultures have used to refer to that Ineffable Essence we understand to be The Divine, may experience Itself in, as, and through those beings.
That is our reason for throwing back the covers and getting up in the morning.
Is the reason enough? Is God experiencing God reason enough for some of us to experience hell? (Or what we have called “hell”?) That depends on how we are engaging with the events and circumstances of our moment-to-moment encounters.
Conversations with God tells us that “the good news is, you don’t have to go through hell to get to Heaven.”
“Oh, yeah? Well, you can’t prove it by me,” some of us may be tempted to say. But it’s true. And there are those among us who have proven it.
We can be among those. That is the promise of The Divine.
Stay tuned here. I have more to say as we explore all this further.
Lovingly offered……….neale.

if you care anything about being “christed” or what it can really mean… on the treadmill of life…
READ THIS!!!
😉
great stuff, as usual neale, and yes….
there is something I would like you to become aware of, though, if you are not already.. a simple set of words..
google search: Loosh
google search: Loosh Rote
read at least 15 different links. please.
now, about all of that seemingly purpose-less struggle… the constant chasing of money, endless unhappiness chasing 1000 different flavors of carrots dangling on 1000 sets of fishing lines, dangling in our faces, trying to get us to bite it, when its always juuuuuuuust out of reach.
read those links again a little, in contrast, and maybe you get some sense of why humanity suffers as it does under these forces that are after a “substance” that we seem to be a part of.
now, for the positive side:
yes, life is a school. not all planets are paradises, and not all planets nor realms are “hells”; to tell you the truth. MOST of the planets in this arm of the spirals in the milky way are paradises compared to the harshness of our world here called earth. this planet has been reffered to by dozens of channelers (and all the rest of us?) as one of the most challenging planets a human can EXIST ON. they say earth is the local “harvard” of planet-schools. its a top-notch university where only the toughest and best need apply.
so, what is the reward? why bother going through the recyler 2000 times in a row before an average being gets out of this school??? the answer: superman. graduates from this school, when they are ready, are nothing short of superman or jesus christ when they hit the stage of true mastery- they come out of here as strong as gods. each to their own reasons, I guess, but this planet gives birth to the best of the best sometimes. what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger??? what DOES kill you 1800~ times before you are ready makes you 1800 times stronger?? 😛
anyway, yes, thank GOD that there is more to this world than generating hamburger for the badguys. god finds/found a way to use this place to create strength from it anyway.
have you ever listened closely to the lyrics of a lot of popular songs in relation to suffering?? pull out the lyrics of “hotel california” and compare it to earth-school—
“up ahead I saw a shimmering light(earth) my eyes grew dim and I had to stop for the night”(contractual induction into earthschool, forced or not) “we are programmed to RECIEVE;(trap newbies/returners) you can check out any time you like(die) but you can never leave(recyled incarnation/loosh harvest) we are all here just prisoners of our own device(earth- long term) we haven’t had that spirit here since 1969(the 60’s, an era of freedom and better times for earth-matrix)
we gather in the master’s chambers for the feast,(a promise) we stab it with our steely knives but we just can’t kill the beast(lucifer/dark owners of earth/THE BEAST)
anyway, there are tons of other songs that speak about this place, in code, and a lot of great musicians who are already enlightned and writing songs about all of this.
….if you take long enough time im sure you can think of a few songs (the gambler? bittersweet symphony? etc.) or even artists with a lot of them.
I want to end this little rant on a positive note, though; the ancient cycle of “kill or be killed” “dog eat dog” loosh harvesting is coming to and end soon. there are forces amassing like never before that are going to tackle this world, remove the farmers, and turn this world back to the happy place it was once before they took it over and turned it into this. get ready for some HEB action soon because they are exactly what you are going to see. they will land here and enlighten humankind about ALL of the principals written in neales’ books, and a whole lot more; especially sexual freedom and shameless liberation in the areas of sex and lovemaking. no more weird religious restrictions on it to keep everyone pent up(a tactic to generate certain sexual loosh types). anywho, get ready for freedom people, in the next 20 years tops, it shouldn’t take much longer 😉 🙂
Absolutely beautiful Neale I just love this and everything in the CWG books, there is much that comes to me when I read and embrace your words your expression your shares posts and everything that is you and everything that comes through you, which I guess is all the same thing God having a physical experience, after reading this I sat with it for awhile in much gratitude for my journey on this planet this time around, but what stuck out the most to me is that “you don’t have to go through hell to get to heaven” even though this lifetime I did go through quite a bit of seemingly hell to get to heaven, I went there camped there and started renting spaces to everyone that was looking lol and I often share gentley when I’m self disclosing to others who are experiencing certain things I have I won’t mention It here at this moment, but you get the picture , I would do this 10 times over just to get to where I am now, “remembering who I am” so to finish this comment I say to those that I’m sharing with is that although I went through this and found heaven after my seemly experiencing hell which at the time seemed real, is that although its what I came to experience and found who and what I am you don’t have to enter that door, heaven is just a thought away, and then of course I share all the books ive read and let it go. I started noticing 7 years ago all the children being born all the way into the teens is that they are not going to conform to certain energies that do not include oneness they are the unchangable physical experiences of heaven on earth. I’m a bit of an introvert I’m surprised I’m going to submit comment lol here’s to you Neale if there is anything I can assist you with I am open I am a person with many gifts and I am open to 5minutes of my time to a lifetime full of service. Thanks for being you and thanks for Evorevo peeps I truly love all that happens here from the book group to the Facebook pages. You guys are seriously making a difference. Ok here it goes. Submit comment pushed. ❤️
