If a child should ask...

If a child should ask me, "who am I?", I would say "you are God expressing Himself as you!"

I would also say "no matter what the world says you are, no matter what name they try to give to you, remember always that you are God being you!" I would counsel that most of the world is not awakened yet as to their true identity, so that when meeting another God expression that believes that they are something other than the single "I" of God, be patient and kind, for your purpose for being here is to remind them of the truth of who they are, and if there is not love present in the reminding, they are likely not to hear the spirit of your words.

I would also say "if you have any questions about the living of you, go not to man for the answer, rather, go within you, where God's voice is, and ask God for the answer to your question about you, for only God knows how to live God."

heh

So if a homicidal maniac looks inside himself and the voices tell him to kill someone, that's alright. Cause, you know god was telling him to do it!
My quandry is that there is no way to clarify who's voice of "God" is the correct one. What's the reference point?

It is a big mistake to think you can discuss reality with an idealist with his head in the clouds. If that remark offends anyone, just remember it is God expressing God.

Cheers, God.

Smurf

The reference point is your conscience, the invisible point of union where you, as the Question, meet God, the Answer.

The thoughts of a homicidal maniac would be those of good and evil, relative thoughts that appear to be moving within his mind. A mind that believes that he is being pulled one way or another between this and that, cannot hear the silent Voice of God. If he hears the command to "kill", that is the voice of his humanism speaking, his ego, the voice that declares that there is a separation between God and His Son.

God cannot kill, for God is Spirit, which means you, as His Expression, is Spirit. Can Spirit be killed?

schrodinger, you are using your conditioned mind to interpret my words.

..., Neither God nor His Expression is correct, for there are no opposites in God.

I would say you are the living expression of the life you are.

I would say you are the consciousness of that life you are, yet, it is that life which is the source of your consciousness.

I would not counsel any one as to their awakening, for I, nor anyone knows the odyssey of anothers journey, nor the lesson one is to learn, nor the time frame of their learning. What I would say is "there is a time for every purpose under the sun," and it is your destiny to find your purpose without hindering yourself, nor others along your path.

I would say every question which derive from you ride upon the answer. If this was not true, the question could never exist within you because you are life, and life is the answer to any question posed within it. So this is also your destiny. To find out for yourself the cure for the illness of the question. "Physician heal thyself."

As Spirit we place conditions upon our awareness, as Spirit, we must transcend the conditions.
