Overcoming fear of rejection in relationships

Question:  You were encouraging us to engage more in the process of relationship so that we would become more trusting -- more trusting of you, Divine Mother.  Can you elaborate more on this?

Divine Mother:   What I want you to do is trust me and do what I have asked. You could say I am asking you to do these things on faith, trusting me, because it isn't the way relationships are conducted for the most part. I am saying to you that you have the courage to let go of the fear of rejection. It is the fear of rejection which is the usual reason people don't speak their truth.

So this is what I am asking you to risk: the fear of rejection. Of course, pain comes with rejection, and the pain is about: "I am not good. I am not valued. I am unworthy." That is the root cause and that is why people fear rejection, because your major fear as a human being appears to be confirmed, that you are no good, that the person you love has rejected you. You are very hesitant to risk that.

Now I am telling you that this fear of rejection based on the pain that would come which is based on the belief that you are unworthy anyway is a lie. So you have to have the courage to face the lie. You have to have the courage to face it, and to look at the lie in yourself. Do you understand? This is the crux of the matter.

I want you to face that lie and your beloved can help you face it. The one that you are in relationship with can help you face it. This is the ultimate lie: believing that you are separate from God, then you believe, "I am unworthy. I am no good. God doesn't love me,” all of these very, very horrifying realities, which in truth are unreal, are fake.

The personal relationship, the male-female relationship, makes you look at that. It puts it in your face, because the worst thing that could happen is to be rejected by your lover. Then the pain of that which is the pain of… it is like, "I knew it all along. I have never been any good. I have always been unworthy and undervalued. Even God doesn't love me. And this person who I have loved so deeply, who I have put up there with God is now saying, ‘You are no good, you are unworthy’.” That is the mind’s interpretation of the rejection. This is the whole crux of the matter. This is where it all ends up. It is all about this pain of separation.

So I am asking you to face it. Your relationship is a vehicle to help you face the most difficult issues in your life, and this is the most difficult issue. No matter how many ways or how many times you have been rejected, it all feeds back to the same thing: "I am unworthy in the eyes of God. My lover has proved it, and I have had 10 relationships and they have all proven it to me.” This is the way the small ego-mind works. This is the untruth it feeds you again and again.

So you have to look at this and stand up to it and with your mate, face it. Supposedly, they love you, or they wouldn't be with you. It may be a past mate who loved you in the past and now is not with you, but you can face it in a former mate as well, because something was left undone. Something was left uncommunicated. So I am saying, look at it. If you don't have a mate, look at it in yourself. Even with a mate, you are going to have to be looking at it in yourself. They are just the reflector.

Question:   Then what, when we look at it?

Divine Mother:   When you look at it, look at the lie of it. That's what I want you to see -- that it is a lie. I don't want you to see it intellectually, because we can know right now that it is a lie, the mind can know that it is a lie. I want you to look at it experientially. What happens to your energy? This is about the way your life energy is flowing. It needs to be changed, because it is causing you to suffer. That is the bottom line. It is causing you to suffer because there is a fluctuation in your vibration that isn't united with me, Divine Mother. Or you could say that is a fluctuation that is not united with Truth, and it is causing you pain, just like all lies cause pain.

So I am asking you, when you are looking at it in yourself, to feel where it hurts, feel the area's agitation. You will feel it in your energy, in your vibration. Don't avoid it. This is what usually happens -- you run from it. It is so painful and the seeming truth which is, "I am no good. I am cast out from heaven. I am bad." That untruth is so painful to look at, especially when you think it is the truth, that you run from it. Most of the time people run away from that, so they run from relationships. They don't want to be in a relationship, because invariably that is going to be brought up, because the purpose of the relationship is to heal you. The purpose of love is to bring up everything that is not loving, that is not love. So you are in this intense relationship and it is going to bring it up for the love to continue to be alive.

So look at it. The people in relationships, share this with your mate. Help each other find this. It is why you are together. The people who are not in relationships, look at it with me. Find where that energy is fluctuating, and then of course you must heal it.

You do overcome the pain of separation with love. It is the only thing that overcomes the pain of separation. It unites.

I want you to love. I want you to love me, or God. I want you to look at that pain, and hold it in your awareness, and say "I love you". Whether it is me or God or a guru, focus on the one who is Infinite Love and say, "I love you, I love you, I love you." You may cry or shake or release, or you may not. I am just telling you in case you do those things, don't stop. Just keep saying, “I love you”. Love unifies. Love unites. You do overcome the pain of separation with love. It is the only thing that overcomes the pain of separation. It unites.

So love. Say, "I love you." You can be saying it to your mate. That will do the same thing. I just want you to know that I understand the challenge of this, and I am asking you to face it.

Thank you for your innocent hearts.

Getting Your Prayers Answered

Question:   I'm trying to get clear on the use of this word prayer. I don't think that I pray, but on some days when I feel connected, I feel like I am in prayer throughout the whole day. Is that the wrong use of that word?

Divine Mother:   No, you are. Instead of praying, you are in prayer all day. Yes, that is a very good use of the word. Be in prayer all day. I like that. I am going to tell everyone to be in prayer all day. That is a more comfortable way to pray. If you are in prayer all day, I am with you all day, I am in you all day, I am guiding you all day, and fulfilling the desires all day.

To be in prayer all day, you have to be letting go to me all the time, always letting go, always referencing the Wholeness. That is the way to be in prayer all day -- always letting go, always referencing Wholeness. Thank you for your comment and thank you for your prayers.

Prayers are not always prayers. Prayers that are not honest are not prayers. What I mean by that is that prayers that are just said for show or to look like you are praying are not prayers. They are saying to the world, "Look at me. I want you to think a certain way about me." These are not prayers. I don't even pay attention to these.

I only pay attention to the prayers that are heartfelt, that are sincere. These are the prayers that I pay attention to. If a prayer is done for show, I ignore it. I let it go and the person gets what they are looking for. They are really asking for attention. I do give them attention, but I don't give attention to what they have asked for. I simply give them attention and love.

Around the world, there is a great misunderstanding about what prayer is. Because prayer has been used for attention or forced on people, it has gotten a bad reputation. Prayer comes from the heart. Prayer involves trust. Prayer involves love. Prayer allows truth, honesty. If a person doesn't want to participate in the truth, the prayer is no longer a prayer. Many times, people pray because they want something that dismantles truth, or they are looking for something that hides truth. Don't do this. True prayer opens up the heart to honesty.

So if there has been some dishonesty, it will be pointed out and the person can correct their course. But the prayer that doesn't want to look at the dishonesty and in fact keeps looking for me to hide the dishonesty, will lead to destruction. I do get prayers like this, request like this, and of course I cannot fulfill those dishonest prayers. But I can help the person move into truth, and that is what I will do in that kind of situation.

This is just for your information because this is a very subtle area that we are exploring.

Question:   Are you saying that you won't fulfill those prayers? Is there anything for that person that you will fulfill?

Divine Mother:   Yes, I will help them to move into truth, for that is the need.

If a person asks for something dishonest and it is fulfilled, it has not been fulfilled by me. It has been fulfilled by some other energy that is debasing truth. This energy may have accumulated a lot of power so they can, on a relative level, fulfill these dishonest prayers. So watch for this, and don't value anyone who does this, no matter how many times their dishonest requests are fulfilled. There is some negative energy operative and that is exactly what you are here to heal for this planet.

Question:   I have a question about articulating prayers. It seems like sometimes you could pray without having words, that it would be really happening more on the feeling level. You could articulate them if you wanted to, and sometimes this happens. Is it better to articulate them or is it better to stay on a more subtle level, or a more vague level?

Divine Mother:   Both are good. Wherever you are that day, move from there. Just be in the heart. It is about the heart. It is about the sincerity of the heart. So it can be from the subtle, what you might call vague, but I think you mean subtle, more in the Wholeness, or it can be very specific words. It is however you wish.

Question:   I have read that it is better to use positive words than to use negative words. For example, that it is not good to ask to be free from suffering, to phrase it in those negative terms. I think this is from the tradition of using affirmations. I have read that that does not work to use negative words, that it is better to use positive words.

Divine Mother:   Affirmations are different from prayers. Affirmations are creative statements. They are attempting to create a certain energy, a certain outcome. Prayers are intimate discussions with me, with the Divine. You can say anything with me, there are no rules. Just be intimate with me and talk to me. If you want to talk about your suffering, I want to hear it. Affirmations are different things. They are energies that you repeat to build something you want in your life.

Question:   What about the Transformational Prayers? Aren’t they statements?

Divine Mother:   These are alignments with me. They are prayers that acknowledge my existence and bring you into alignment with my existence by filling you with Divine qualities and clearing energies that are not Divine. Some of these prayers have what you could call affirmations or statements of truth within them like, "I accept Divine Love within me now." That is because you have just been filling your self with Divine Love, and often the system is not receiving. So you make the statement “I accept Divine Love within me now” to accept what you have been creating on the subtle levels. You could say that that is an affirmation in the midst of a prayer.

But I am talking primarily here today about prayer requests, how to get your prayers answered. Many people make requests, want something, and so they ask me. So I am telling you today how to get your answers to the things that you want.

I love you. Keep talking to me. Prayer is a conversation. Be in prayer all day. That doesn't mean you are talking to me all day, but you are referencing me all day. Trust me. I love you.

Do our thoughts create our reality?

Divine Mother:   Do what you feel to do. Trust your Self. Trust.

Question:  Tying on to what was just said, we go through life and we have perceptions. Do we rely on those perceptions or our thoughts, perceptions versus thoughts creating our reality?

Divine Mother:   Regarding perceptions; no – don’t; rely on your heart. If you see something, don’t necessarily believe it. Go to the heart. Your heart will know whether what you are seeing is true. You don’t rely on your perceptions unless you have gone to the heart and determined from there that what you are perceiving is for you to act upon or do something about.

The same is true of thought. If you have a thought, don’t necessarily act on it until you have checked with your heart. We are attempting here over and over again to unite the heart and the mind so they are not acting separately from each other.

As far as if you are going to act on a perception or a thought, you always check with the heart.

Question:   Is thought creating our reality, or reality out of our thoughts?

Divine Mother:   Don’t believe it. There are many temporary realities. Your thinking mind is a servant of your heart; it serves the heart. It serves the intelligence of the heart. I am talking about the Infinite intelligence of the heart, the Cosmic intelligence, God’s intelligence.

You can and do create realities mentally all the time. If you can connect your thinking with your heart, the ideas and plans you create will be more powerful. If it is an idea or plan just from the thinking, it doesn’t have the support of your (what we could call) passion and so it won’t be as creative.

The passion, the life force, comes from the heart. If you have an idea to start a certain business, if it is just an idea in the mind, it has a certain life and you may carry it out, but to really create and make it a powerful business, you need to have the life energy, the life force behind it, because that is what will propel it forward.

You may experience this in your life, that just an intellectual idea has a certain life and you can follow through on it, but when you have it connected to the power in the heart, it has much more of a grounded texture that you can’t not do. Usually if they (ideas) are connected with the heart, it has to do with your purpose. You move with more confidence, more connection to the overall Divine Purpose. This is where I am advising you to create your realities.

I want to say it isn’t emotion. Emotion does influence thought and thought influences emotion, but I want you to go beyond emotion. I want you to go into the power of life energy, the power of Love. Then your creation, coupled with the mental idea and the Divine Intelligence will create something wonderful.

Everything in the relative activity (what you called realities) comes and goes. The ideas, the thoughts, the great business you are creating, it will have a life and then there will be a time when you will retire. We are talking about creation in the field of time and space, which is fun and good and purposeful and does expand you and the universe, but don’t get attached to it, because everything in the universe eventually changes.

To me there is only one reality and that is the Infinite Wholeness. That is the field of reality. Even you and your life stream that is going through the universe will eventually end because it is in time and space. The non-relative Unmanifest You will never end, ever. That is why I am saying don’t get attached to the motion of things, get attached to the non-moving, to the Infinite Wholeness. That is always your reality and will always be your reality forever. 

Question:    Is the heart the source of thought?

Divine Mother:   No, the heart is not the source of thought. The Infinite is the source of thought, the Wholeness, the Unmanifest Wholeness, is the source of thought. The heart is a fluctuation of that and you will enter the Wholeness through the heart very easily. 

Experiencing Grief as a Blessing

Question:  I heard you say that grief can actually be a blessing. I just don't get this at all. Can you please explain?

Divine Mother:  I want you to know that loss can be a freedom that breaks you through all that has held you in bondage. Loss is really a gain. I know loss. I know the waves of grief that well up from losing something you care deeply for, something that has been the foundation of your life. I know the grief. The grief only becomes pain when you hold it in and don’t express its power. Then through the expression it becomes your energy for breakthroughs beyond any you have ever known. The power of grief is also a delicate equilibrium because again the victim/small mind can hang on and punish oneself with it…stabbing oneself again and again with the grief. 

If you can allow the pure grief, the waves of energy to resonate through your body and vibrational field you will experience a new consciousness. Most people do not do this. They are ashamed, afraid, stuck and so the grief gets lodged in their systems and causes physical pain, illness and more loss.

You must be very centered in your heart to receive the blessings of grief expressed, and I will hold you. Come to me. I will hold you and keep you clear so that the grief can be a blessing, an awakening and grace this earth. For as a human being you will experience grief. It is part of the human makeup. It is a blessing, an expansion of your heart. Don’t avoid it. You will move through it and this planet will be a better place for your honest experience of it.

Invoking Divine Beings and Ascended Masters

Question:   I have a question about invoking the Divine Beings, especially invoking the Ascended Masters. If I am sitting here and someone else is miles away and we are all invoking a Divine Master, is the Divine Master equally with everyone?

Divine Mother:   The Master is with everyone equally. The intention of the one involved is important. We are even with those who never invoke us. We are looking for a crack in the door.

It depends on the focused attention of the person. Focused attention on us is more effective than vague attention. If you are thinking of something else when you ask for me, you haven't received as much as you could receive. If you open the window more, you can embrace me more. If you are focused and call on the name and then look for the presence, there is a focus and an engagement in the focus. It is more about you than about me. It is all about you and your intention and attention, your heart, your love.

Create exactly what you want

Question:   You said that we are creators and that we can create exactly what we want. I have only had this experience a few times in my life. Can you elaborate more on what we need to do to become more capable of creating exactly what we want?

Divine Mother:   I am Divine Mother. I come in the name of the Wholeness of all that is. I am your second greatest resource. The Infinite Wholeness is your first greatest resource. However, I am here to remind you of the first greatest resource. I am here not only to remind you, but to push you into it again and again and again. I am like the mischievous child who is pushing you off the diving board into the ocean of Wholeness. I love you. I want you to know about this vast, Infinite Wholeness. I am going to teach you how to play in it. Playing in it means create, create, create, and create skillfully, intelligently, particularly, exactly what you want.

The skill in your attempts to create has everything to do with trust in the Infinite. Trust means letting go, letting go of your small idea and allowing the Infinite idea to manifest through your endeavors. When you let go of this small idea, you give permission for the greatest ally in your existence to support you, to take your small idea and run with it.

You have wonderful ideas. You have the ability to move your physical form through this physical world. You have thoughts that guide you as you move this physical form through this physical world. Your thoughts need to be refined, they need to become so subtle, so pure, that the instant the thought is had, a manifestation of that thought occurs. Pure thoughts do this. By pure I mean untainted by fear. Fear has many ramifications. Fear can be the fear of many different things -- fear of not being good enough, fear of not being worthy, fear that someone else will harm you, fear of losing something, fear of not being able to get what you want. There are many, many kinds of fear that create impurity in the thinking.

This fear thinking, or what I have called impure thinking, is a sure road to dissatisfaction with your creation, because the fear will be inherent in what you are creating, and it will haunt you. Trust me, this is what is happening in the world today. The fear is holding on to the creation, and eventually the fear destroys the creation, the manifestation.

I am going to teach you how to let go of the fear, and how to have pure thoughts. Then I am going to teach you how to nourish these pure thoughts with joy. The joy is the fertilizer to all of your creative endeavors. The joy also keeps your manifestation pure, so that no decay can enter.

Trust your Infinite Wholeness. Trusting your Infinite Wholeness is the challenge, because the old way of thinking, the old mind wants to control, because when you control, you feel safe. "I am in charge. I will control this and then I will make sure that I am safe." That is the thinking of the old way of life on Earth which has caused nothing but war, poverty, famine, illness, and environmental disaster.

The control has to be given up. Trust has to enter -- trust in the Infinite. I am not saying to trust in anything finite. I am saying to trust in the Infinite Wholeness, to trust in that thing that we are softening into all the time, to trust in that “Being”. That doesn't mean giving up control. It means trusting that there is a greater plan, though you may not know what it is. Not knowing what it is is what drives the small mind crazy, makes the small mind frantic. When the small mind is frantic, it starts to grab everything and try to control it, anything and everything, because control is the way the small mind overcomes fear.

You are not the small mind. You are Infinite and whole. You have to leave the small mind behind you. You have to retrain the small mind out of the grasp and control mode.

Overcoming our fears

Question:  Can you elaborate a bit more about overcoming our fears?

Divine Mother:   Fear is based on your doubt as to whether you can handle the things life gives you. Inwardly say, "I can handle anything life gives me.”

It is the fear that defeats you. It comes in on the doubt and grasps the opportunity to frighten you more. Doubt and fear are what defeat you. When you have some doubt, the fear builds on it.

All you have to be certain of is: I am Infinite and Whole. Nothing in creation can defeat that -- no fear, no doubt, no pain.

When you claim this Truth, you call forth the power of the universe; you call forth the Divine power in you and the Divine power can defeat anything in relative creation. Trust your Infinite Self. You are a Divine Infinite being in physical form. This is your only weapon against fear.

Inwardly say, "I am Infinite and Whole and I command you, fear, in the name of God, to go into the Light.” Be in the Wholeness of who you are, not in the limitation of who you are. Be your True Self.

The Truth is that you are Whole. The untruth is that you are finite and limited. For a long time, you have believed the untruth and operated as if you are finite and limited. You have run when fear approaches. Trust. Inwardly say, “I am no longer going to consider running.” You are who you are -- Infinite and Whole -- and now all of the running has to stop. All of the running has to stop everywhere throughout your life. You have to stop running. You have to be who you are.

Let the attention go to the heart. The heart gives you courage to be your Self. The heart gives you Infinite courage to be who you are, to dissolve fear. The heart is not afraid. The heart is your ally. When you do something courageous, you are always moved by your heart. When you stand up for someone, you are standing up from your heart. When you stop someone from harming someone else, you are stopping them from your heart.

Your heart is your power, your Infinite power. Trusting your Infinite Self is allowing your heart to be itself. Here, you unite with God. Here in the heart, you unite with God and the power of the universe is yours, the strength, the courage, the clarity, the ability to do anything.

Shutting down is running and hiding. It is the unconscious way you run and hide when something is confronting you that frightens you. It could be as simple as your significant other wanting to talk to you about something you are uncomfortable with. The deeper fear is making you feel like you are unworthy, a bad person, not enough. So you shut down. You don't want to go into that pain.

The truth is that you are not unworthy. You have to change your identity from the small, limited person to the Whole, Divine Being who can listen to what the spouse or the boss wants to say without being diminished.

The shutting down and tuning out is a habit that has been caused by our identification with who we are not. To change the habit of shutting down, we have to change how we identify ourselves. That is the fundamental antidote, the fundamental cure.

You are not separate. This is what I endeavor to demonstrate to you every time we meet, whether it is here or in your prayers at home or in a quick connection with me in your day. You are not separate. We are one. These belief systems are false. Nothing should be based on them because you are here to live the Truth of your Wholeness and Oneness. This is taking root inside. Don't worry about the outer. I care about the inner you deep inside. The outer world is irrelevant to that. The inner life is what I'm interested in and that's why I'm training you to stop shutting it off.

We are moving inside, building. You are changing. You are recognizing the Truth. You are living the Truth so many ways, constantly, consistently. This is just one more tune-up that you need to do. Tune yourself out of shutting down. Open up. Allow the flow. Break the structures that block the flow. Choose to be open. Being open means open to me. Open to me. If you are truly open to me, you can't shut down ever again. 

Coming home to Divine Mother

Divine Mother:   What we are doing is bringing you home, the fear is in the world, the safety is at home, Divine Mother's home. The fear is in the outside world, I am bringing you to the inside world, and when you live in the safety of the inside world, the outside world cannot disturb you. The outside world may not just be your friends, your activities, your family, your experiences, it can also be your thoughts, your emotions, your memories. These are parts of the outside world, outside of you, your real self, and your true self, whom you may have abandoned a long time ago.

That abandoned self is waiting for you, waiting in the home of Divine Mother with Divine Mother, waiting to give you everything, waiting to love you infinitely, to comfort you infinitely, to create with you, waiting to unite with you. You are not a small being, not an emotion, a thought, you are not an object, you are not your job, you are not a friend, a wife, a husband, a child. Trust who you really are, trust the you that is already living in the home of Divine Mother.

Coming home to Divine Mother means coming home to yourself, who is unafraid, who is constant, free, the you who you have forgotten, abandoned, and run into the world of pain and suffering and fear, and left behind. Come home.

You can find a million things in the world to upset you, you can create things to disturb and upset you, you can remember things, you can find an old buried emotion, it’s all there, a million things to disturb you, one thing to give you peace. Do that one thing again and again. Until the peace is so strongly established, a million armies, and a million defeats, and a million betrayals and a million losses can never disturb your peace. One thing, one thing that can give you victory over pain, one thing.

I am Divine Mother I come in the name of love, I want to tell you something. It’s hard to find your way home from the field of attachment, it’s hard, it takes tremendous persistence. Persistence is all I am asking of you, come home again and again, never give up, persist. Love truth enough, to find your way through the lies that the world tells you. Love truth enough, so that you can know when the world is telling you a lie. Love truth enough not to accept betrayal, not to accept pain, not to accept illusion. This is what you are up against, as you move from the material world of the five senses, the mind, the intellect, the ego, into the home of Divine Mother. 

You are healing, you are healing a whole series of life times on this material plane that has taught you to give importance to the illusion, so as you remember to come home, as you change the direction of what you value, from outer to inner, the outer is going to kick and scream a bit, we don’t mind, we just stay with our inner, we just keep doing the one thing that is going to give us comfort freedom and peace. We come in, we go inward, we go into the home of Divine Mother.

The Power of Your Attention

Divine Mother:  Your attention is your most powerful gift for creating. The attention is what allows you to soften, to hold, and to allow. The attention is what you observe subtle energy with. The attention is like your pointer finger that points your awareness. We will actually call it the magic wand. You touch something with a magic wand and it changes. You touch something with your attention and it changes. This is an important point for you to understand and embrace. If you touch something with your attention on the failures of it, you create failures. If you touch something with your attention on the beauty of it, the joy and skill and harmony of it, that is what you create.

You have a magic wand and it is your attention. It is important that you use your attention creatively. The attention observes the softening, the holding, and the allowing. The attention which is your magic wand observes these three important creative tools. By observing these three, they become powerful.

When you observe energy, it changes.

I want to make this point again. Energy is flowing everywhere. When you observe it, it changes. When you observe it with intention, you create that intention. I have told you today how to work with awareness to create goodness in your life and in the life of Mother Earth. I have demonstrated through each of you what that is. Now I want you to know how important your attention is. It is your magic wand. It changes everything.

So use your attention wisely. You want certain things in your life. Don't attend the things you don't want, because your attention creates them. Attend what you want only. Trust your Infinite Self.

Creating the stairway to God

Question:  What do you do in a situation when you are stuck in anger or in depression? How do you get unstuck?

Divine Mother:  Ask for help first. Ask me or another Divine Being for help. When you ask us for help our energy starts fluctuating in your system. You can even see it if you look. The energy that you are observing can be observed as Jesus or Archangel Michael or Mother Mary. When you say “Jesus, help me”, suddenly Jesus appears. You may not see Jesus physically, but in the energy, Jesus will be there to help you. So the first step is to ask for help.

The second step is to find the help. Sometimes you can't find the help because of the blockage and the stuckness and the depression. You must search for it. If you were stuck at the bottom of a well, you would be trying to get out. You would be climbing the walls, you would be trying to build steps, you would be doing something to save yourself. In fact, you should be doing something to save yourself. There are those who don't do anything to save themselves. You would be calling out for help. You would be calling, “God, help me. Jesus, help me.” Then down at the bottom of the well (we are thinking of a dry well), you would be trying to get out. You would find sticks or rocks to throw up at the top to get someone’s attention, or you would be trying to dig into the sides and make steps.

You are in this life to accomplish many things. One of those things is to deal with the issues that make you feel stuck, dealing with the issues that make you feel helpless or hopeless. Don’t remain in the helplessness or hopelessness.

You are here to break through that. So you ask for help and you start doing things to get out of the hole. Being a human doesn't mean that everything is going to be given to you on a silver platter. You have to build your silver platter. You have to create your silver platter, and then everything will be good. But you are here to find and build that silver platter, that stairway to God. That connection to God is what you are building. Then everything works beautifully.

So don't give up. It's part of being human to create the stairway to God. Believe me, God is helping you create it. You may not see that at first and think you are alone and have to do it all yourself. Once you have it built, you realize, “Oh, I have never been alone. It was being built for me all along.” But without the will, you must come back again and again.

You are given situations in this life, whether it is poverty or illness or relationship problems, or how to manage wealth. You are given situations of your choosing, I emphasize of your choosing, so that you can learn something about God, learn something about your relationship with God. Never give up. The life force is flowing through you powerfully, use it. Trust it. Say, “God, come here. Where are you? I don't know where you are. I’m going to find you. Get me out of here.” Then start building the stairway, the connection. Start fashioning your silver platter. When you take one step toward God, God takes ten thousand steps toward you. But, you are a being of free will. You must choose. The choice is yours. That’s the human uniqueness. Please don't quit.
