My second lesson – More on Relevance
Why doesn't everyone understand me?
“One of your biggest challenges,” and you have realized it for some time,” Jay started off our meeting this morning, “is attempting to communicate with others who don’t understand what you are saying.”
Jay continued, “Consider how much you have learned from our SPIRIT-PARENT, both directly and through all twelve of us sitting together over the past several months.”
As the conversation developed around the table, each of Jay’s hand-picked other nine members of my mental mastermind reiterated what I have heard over and over …how each of them are disappointed in people who want to argue about what they either wrote or said while they were in human body-bags, going back, in the instance of Mose and Zoe, hundreds of years before Jay walked on earth as a man, but refuse to hear what they have to say today.
Uh oh, what are you saying Brad?
I brought up the irony of how my own writing about my experiences with them, beginning this past March, has alienated many people who want me to renounce them as if they didn’t exist and go back to what I wrote about pre-2014.
“Ironic is the appropriate term,” Baba said, “all of those who say they are followers of any one of our teachings, while we were in the flesh, who cannot accept that we are alive today, and not only communicate directly with you, across many dimensions, but are available to anyone willing to listen to what our SPIRIT-PARENT has to say through us today, are unfortunately being irrelevant.”
“More relevant than hearing I AM through anyone of us is hearing and allowing I AM to speak through each of them,” Mose added, “and your story of how to begin doing that by what happened to you and how you shared it with that group of building contractors many years ago, is relevant, because it is your experience about how you began on this path.”
What now?
“Tell the story!”
Gather round folks, Brad is gonna speak!
It was 2:00 a.m. on a Monday morning, circa 1989, …in five hours I was scheduled to speak to a local association of Christian construction tradesmen at their monthly breakfast meeting at hotel in Hilo on the “Big Island” of Hawaii, about twenty miles from my home, at the time, in Mountain View.
I was lying, face-down on the floor, my head under the desk in my little office in my home, beating on the floor with my fists demanding to know what I was supposed to say to this group and, all of a sudden, heard an audible voice say: “twenty-nine, thirteen.”
Startled I lifted up and banged the back of my head on the bottom of the center drawer. I somehow knew that it was a passage out of the Jewish prophet Jeremiah, in the Old Testament.
I reached up to the bookshelf above my desk and read: “You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Hey fellas let's take a break and talk bible stuff.
I got a picture in my mind of simply sharing what had happened and sitting back down and facilitating a dialogue with the 100 or so members slated to be in attendance.
The president of the association gave me a nice introduction saying they were in for a treat as he had heard me speak on two occasions previously. Most of them had brought their Bibles with them and I told them what had happened to me earlier …and that my instructions were not to speak, but to simply facilitate a dialogue about the passage and what it could mean to each of us.
The relevance of that meeting to today was that several of the men made personal application and shared their intent to do what I had done and one, a cabinet maker, said he intended to do what I had done, all except banging his head, and apply a principle I had also shared which was that the key emphasis was that we would find God when we seek to find him with all our heart …and that I had interpreted that to mean UNTIL we find him.
You will burn in Hell for your witchcraft...burn!!!!
Things became rather interesting …the dialogue had been vibrant and powerful and I had barely spoken at all. The president had invited the pastors from the two largest churches in the area; he had introduced them and welcomed them to the group. Both were seated there in suits and ties …he had told me that all the members would be dressed in work clothes, most of them going to jobsites or their shops immediately following breakfast, so I was dressed casually.
About twenty minutes into the group dialogue, one of the pastors, a very dignified looking man with white hair that matched his heavily starched white shirt, stood up, “Men you are playing with something very dangerous here, this borders on witchcraft.”
A man at the back of the room stood and said: “Sir, excuse me, but you are out of order. Our scheduled speaker had the grace and wisdom to follow the leading of the Spirit and sat down and shut up. I suggest you do the same.
If you let Me in...I can let you out
“Walter,” he continued, directing his comments now to the president, “I’m sorry for being disruptive, but I showed up here the first time in six months because you promised there would be a Spirit-filled speaker this morning. I haven’t been coming because the meetings have been dry – this is the most meaningful thing that has happened to me in years. May I suggest we do this every meeting …seek God together as brothers. I would come back again and again for this.”
He excused himself saying that he had to meet with some owners to talk about their project …and walked out without another word.
What is relevant to today is that our SPIRIT-PARENT is available and willing to meet us if we will break through beyond our preconceived ideas. What is irrelevant is to attempt to persuade people not to do what our SPIRIT-PARENT has instructed us to do.
