Embarked on the Same Celestial Journey
Posted by Steve Beckow
When social divisions run as deep as they’re doing right now, I find myself forced back onto myself.
The same situation arises when I go, or anyone else I imagine goes, up a social or vocational ladder. The higher I go, the more I’m thrown back on myself.
And if the situation in question is a personal one, no big deal. Our idiosyncrasies, our weirdness is our business.
But in the social or vocational realm, as the society becomes more and more divided along more and more lines, the necessity to come from one’s self, whatever that self is, whatever stage of evolution it’s really at, increases.
As the pressure rises we become more and more likely to reveal previously-hidden sides of ourself.
That’s why in horror movies, when the villain is pushed too far, it reveals itself as a hideous monster. “OK, buddy, you asked for it.” (ROAR!) (1)
And so do we sometimes in our own lives. Especially at times like this.
When we do, in my opinion, we’re not revealing “our true self” or “our true colors.” We may reveal our stage of spiritual evolution. We (a deeper self) are still a prisoner of our unexamined and uncontrolled impulses and habits. We’re leading the unexamined life which Socrates said was not worth living.
But we will learn. As immortal beings wearing a physical body for a while, but going on without it, we have an infinity in which to learn.
***The point is that at those moments all that we learned goes out the window and we’re faced with the need to make a stark decision: Do we … never mind what somebody else said … do we choose good or do we choose evil?
I’ve called this moment “a change of vote” if we move from one to the other. (2) If not, it probably shows up as immense validation of our previous choice, whatever it was. “See? I told you so.” “I was right on.” (High five.)
Yes, I can give you an example. I changed my vote from being a troll under the bridge to being lovingly kind. And I’ve realized immense benefits in my life since then.
Given that we always make ourselves right, those who choose evil will go on to make that choice right and do with it what they do.
Those who choose good have it easier because “good” is not something that carries as many negative consequences so it has less of a hold or grip on us. The results of a good action come and go, with little or no residue. But the consequences of an evil act keep ricochoeting back at us until we get the divine message.
***What message? Well, here we are again, eh? Back with “the message.” Life has a message. But I’d better allow you a pause and continue below.

(Continued from Part 1, above.)
As was revealed to me in a vision in 1987, (1) God has a message. God, it turns out, wants to meet itself. (2) And, since God is all there is, that can be a problem. How does the One (3) without a second meet itself?
It takes love – because everything is created from love – and it builds an illusory world. And it creates temporary forms and enters into each form and veils its identity from itself. And then it creates laws that draw the “individual” through love itself to truth.
And the truth is “I am God.” And the truth is “We all are God.” And the truth is “God is everything.”
When one of us realizes “I am … God,” God meets God. “O Thou I!” said Bayazid of Bistun, illustrating that moment of realization. (4)
And for that meeting was all of his created.
Longing fulfilled. My life consummated; God’s delight boundless.
I am still individuated but now I know I am God whereas before I did not.
And every one of us is embarked on the same celestial journey, from God to God.
The Source and Destination of the Celestial Journey
***
I could give you quote after quote from terrestrial sages to the effect that enlightenment is the purpose of life, everything you want is to be found in enlightenment, etc. (5) But that’s what we’re all doing here: becoming enlightened.
If you want a touchstone separating good from evil, it would be, for me, does this bring me “closer to” or “farther away” from God? Does it take me farther along on my journey to the Source and Destination of all life?
The way life is designed on the Third/Fourth Dimension is that universal laws prevail which function to move us closer and closer to God and the universal consummation in enlightenment. The law of karma, for instance, feeds back to us what it feels like to do unto another what we just did. But, hey, this has become long enough. Let that be the subject of another post.
We now have a way of distinguishing good from evil: Does what I’m doing carry me “farther” away (in any way) from or “closer” to the Mother/Father One?
Since God is everything, how can we be farther away from or closer to God? I hear you say.
We can be farther away or closer to God in our emotions, which is why the sages say, yearn for God. Nothing is achieved without longing. And after real yearning is achieved, soon comes the rosy dawn.

(2) Archangel Michael has asked me not to capitalize: “We do not want anything capitalized.” (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Aug. 12, 2016.) (Hereafter AAM.)
Steve: Are you okay with the four-part article on ignition?
Archangel Michael: Yes.
Steve: Okay. I didn’t know if I was being too familiar.
AAM: You know what? We want you to be familiar.
Steve: Okay, I get that. Thank you. (AAM, Jan. 3, 2017.)
