God, in my experience, is very clear. Clear, simple, straightforward. It is me that makes things complicated. God is love and everything that God does is to bring us back to a place of love. To be connected to the greater whole which lives and breathes love. The lessons that I am given are things that challenge me to come back to love. Unfortunately, my ego gets ahead of me when I have experiences that lack love and attaches itself to them. Then, in moments when I lack clarity it replays the tape of that experience and I start believing a story that I am not worthy or that its my fault or that I don’t belong. All things that separate me from love. In fact, there are times when I am clear about who I am but then I forget that you are the same. All I see is how we are different or you are better than me which kicks into gear my thoughts and then feelings of less than and jealousy. The funny part about all of this is that happens largely on an unconscious level. Neuroscience has actually seen how these patterns are created like a groove in our brain. For me that is why it is important to connect with God every day, multiple times during the day so that I can be clear about who I am and where I come from. Then, I remember too who you are. I need God’s eyes because they are clear. When I am restored to clarity the world is a much more sacred place. My prayer for you today is that you have a moment to pause when things are clouded and reconnect with the clarity (God) of who you are. I would love to hear about your moments of clarity–you know those times when things just flowed, etc. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen

Hi Colleen, in regards to clarity and God, or God being clarity as you nicely put it, I see God as my beacon. A beacon that I need because I have spiritual ADD. I see God in my mind as a guiding light that reminds me that Love is the reason for all, the only reason. I (we) were breathed into existence out of sheer Love and it trumps all else. But when things go well, or not well, at work, relationships, finances, family etc. I’m quick to turn those things into my “new god”. My attention is so easily drawn away by shiny things. I begin to invest in good times or bad times and I’ve found that it’s not profitable for me to do that, it takes me down a path that only leads to a dead end. I end up empty handed and spiritually starving because I disconnect from God and start to drink from a source that‘s equivalent to spiritual junk food which doesn’t nourish me and leaves me starving. I liken it to drinking saltwater and dying from dehydration.
God also serves as my beacon in times of self doubt and when I begin to focus on things that aren’t or things I find lacking in myself and in others. With God as my beacon, it helps remind me that God is All. And when I concentrate on what isn’t then I’m consciously creating a false space that doesn’t exist and where God is not in. In reality that can never happen because there is no place or time that I can be in, think of, or imagine that God is not in.
God as my beacon gives me clarity that Love is the only reason for anything and that I can accept God’s unconditional Love and share that with others. I draw my perfect security from this. It also helps me reset and look and work with what is. I can always begin and work with what is. What exists is always accessible to me. I can never work with what isn’t because it doesn’t exist, lol. It sounds so simple and it’s funny how self evident it is during moments of clarity but unfortunately, or fortunately, I forget it often and get distracted. I say fortunately because forgetting allows me an opportunity to turn back to my beacon again, God, Love.
Domingo, thank you for your strong and clear words. I like your concept of God as a Beacon. It makes me think of a lighthouse that can be seen even when we are out in rough waters– a sign of hope. I too agree as you say fortunately you forget and get distracted because then you are given an opportunity to turn to God anew. Soldier on and thank you for sharing your message. Peace~Colleen
