These are thoughts that have come to me after near seventy years of asking for awareness of the will of my Creator, God. Years of trying to understand what the message is behind the written words of scripture. I am not asking anyone to draw a conclusion from these words or think I'm saying this is the absolute Truth. Just my humble thoughts concerning the Creator God's intent in the creation of man. Love and peace to all, Bill

The omnipotent Creator, being omniscient, created a perfect plan for each in His creation. His intent would be accomplished by each person, though His gift of freewill would allow mistakes. Using His omnipresence, He would be with each person. He guides each of us on our path and back to it when we stray. We walk in perfect harmony with His intended will, When we submit to the voice of guidance within us. Being part of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is also omnipresent. Many today called this the authentic self. This is the spiritual self that was created to be perfect in the creation. In this perfect, spiritual state, we can be one with our Creator. This state of being, is accomplished by crucifying the ego, aligning our free will with the intent and will of our Creator. The acceptance of God’s gift, salvation through Christ. Allowing us to become what our Creator intended and join Him in eternal life.

Good Morning Bill. Hi. I believe we all join you in thinking and wondering what was and what is the plan and purpose of us all. I too have said to God just that and why was I born. For now I just get more questions. However, when the day arrives I hope he tells me and I hope I did something right. This was lovely. Have a beautiful morning and weekend too. Peace and Blessings now and always. (smile)

‘salvation through Christ’ ~ Christ consciousness, wisdom that ends sense of separation from God. Beautiful poem, Bill. Hope this is widely read. This quote by Osho also seems relevant: “You can know Jesus only through a man who has attained to Christ Consciousness. A Krishna can be known only through a man who has attained Krishna Consciousness. And they are the same thing: Krishna Consciousness. Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness – the transcendental,”

Your insights are powerful here, Bill. I loved how you explained the relationship we have with our creator as we pursue our authentic selves and become what we were intended to be both now on earth and later eternally. I call this a masterpiece, hubby. I'm always grateful when you share your life's experience and insights. hugs from me to you. Sara

"Crucifying the ego..." Now there's a concept I applaud. He will guide us back to His flock if we ask for His forgiveness with total sincerity. Spiritually well written, Bill.
