"But that's part of the game," I said. "These situations have been set up so we can decide, as a global community, Who We Are in relationship to them. Also, don't overthink this with your rational mind. You're still very much stuck in a rigid way of thinking. You just need to decide Who You Are in relationship to this, act out that self-concept, and let the algorithm deliver the solution. God talks about this too."
Do not forsake Me when you need Me most. Now is the hour of your greatest testing. Now is the time of your greatest chance. It is the chance to prove everything that has been written here.
When I say “don’t forsake Me,” I sound like that needy, neurotic God we talked about. But I’m not. You can “forsake Me” all you want. I don’t care, and it won’t change a thing between us. I merely say this in answer to your questions. It is when the going gets tough that you so often forget Who You Are, and the tools I have given you for creating the life that you would choose.
Now is the time to go to your God space more than ever. First, it will bring you great peace of mind — and from a peaceful mind do great ideas flow—ideas which could be solutions to the biggest problems you imagine yourself to have.
Second, it is in your God space that you Self realize, and that is the purpose — the only purpose — of your soul.
When you are in your God space, you know and understand that all you are now experiencing is temporary. I tell you that heaven and Earth shall pass away, but you shall not. This ever-lasting perspective helps you to see things in their proper light.
You can define these present conditions and circumstances as what they truly are: temporary and temporal. You may then use them as tools — for that is what they are, temporary, temporal tools — in the creation of present experience.
Just who do you think you are? In relationship to the experience called lose-a-job, who do you think you are? And, perhaps more to the point, who do you think I am? Do you imagine this is too big a problem for Me to solve? Is getting out of this jam too big a miracle for Me to handle? I understand that you may think it’s too big for you to handle, even with all the tools I have given you — but do you really think it’s too big for Me?
I know intellectually that no job is too big for God. But emotionally I guess I can’t be sure. Not whether You can handle it, but whether You will.
I see. So it’s a matter of faith.
Yes.
You don’t question My ability, you merely doubt My desire.
You see, I still live this theology that says there may be a lesson in here somewhere for me. I’m still not sure I’m supposed to have a solution. Maybe I’m supposed to have the problem. Maybe this is one of those “tests” my theology keeps telling me about. So I worry that this problem may not be solved. That this is one of those You’re going to let me hang here with…
Perhaps this is a good time to go over once more how it is that I interact with you, because you think it is a question of My desire, and I’m telling you it’s a question of yours.
I want for you what you want for you. Nothing more, nothing less. I don’t sit here and make a judgment, request by request, whether something should be granted.
My law is the law of cause and effect, not the law of We’ll See. There is nothing you can’t have if you choose it. Even before you ask, I will have given it to you. Do you believe this?
No. I’m sorry. I’ve seen too many prayers go unanswered.
Don’t be sorry. Just always stay with the truth — the truth of your experience. I understand that. I honor that. That’s okay with Me.
Good, because I don’t believe that whatever I ask, I get. My life has not been a testimony to that. In fact, I rarely get what I ask for. When I do, I consider myself damned lucky.
That’s an interesting choice of words. You have an option, it seems. In your life, you can either be damned lucky, or you can be blessing lucky. I’d rather you be blessing lucky — but, of course, I’ll never interfere with your decisions.
I tell you this: You always get what you create, and you are always creating.
I do not make a judgment about the creations that you conjure, I simply empower you to conjure more — and more and more and more. If you don’t like what you’ve just created, choose again. My job, as God, is to always give you that opportunity.
Now you are telling Me that you haven’t always gotten what you’ve wanted. Yet I am here to tell you that you’ve always gotten what you called forth.
Your Life is always a result of your thoughts about it — including your obviously creative thought that you seldom get what you choose. Now in this present instance you see yourself as the victim of the situation in the losing of your job. Yet the truth is that you no longer chose that job. You stopped getting up in the morning in anticipation, and began getting up with dread. You stopped feeling happy about your work and began feeling resentment. You even began fantasizing doing something else. You think these things mean nothing? You misunderstand your power. I tell you this: Your Life proceeds out of your intentions for it. So what is your intention now? Do you intend to prove your theory that life seldom brings you what you choose? Or do you intend to demonstrate Who You Really Are and Who I Am?
I feel chagrined. Chastised. Embarrassed.
Does that serve you? Why not simply acknowledge the truth when you hear it, and move toward it? There is no need to recriminate against yourself. Simply notice what you’ve been choosing and choose again.
Neale Donald Walsch
"Even before you ask, I will have given it to you," I repeated. "God means that literally."
"So, even before we ask for a solution to climate change, God will have delivered one?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"Retrocausal loops."
"When are you going to explain those to me?"
"At the end of this story."
"Why at the end?"
"You'll see," I smiled. "For now, just think about our current global situation as an incomplete puzzle. It might look like all the puzzle pieces are pointing towards a future scenario where humans die out due to climate change. But remember — this algorithm can construct any combination of puzzle pieces as long as they fit within the boundaries of the puzzle pieces we have already observed. The human race could make a new decision today about Who We Are in relationship to climate change, and act out that decision. That choice in the present moment will generate events in the past that lead to our new, brighter future. And thus, even before we ask, God will have given."
