Even when it knows the will of God, the ego, through long habit, resists, throws tantrums, and almost never fully obeys. But even in separation of consciousness from God, humanity has progressed.

What was once rare intelligence is now quite common. Instead of one or two geniuses of the past like Plato or Da Vinci or Raphael, there are now many hundreds of thousands of great scientists, philosophers and artists present on Earth.

But God has much greater plans for us and He is ending this epoch. He is reigning in His net. He is reshaping the fabric of our 3D existence. He is steering us back to Him now that we are at the brink of massive disaster from the precarious levels of war against fellow man and ecosystems and nature.

One might think He would do this by simply telling us and we would listen. Perhaps He might have giant loudspeakers in the clouds, booming His condemnations and instructions down to us from His heavenly throne.

In effect, this is exactly what He has done. He, being God, can use, and does use, the voice of any person, the pen of any hand, to give warnings, advice and correction. And He can send the message amplified into every home, and He does, via TV, radio and internet. (God always uses the least means necessary to achieve His goal.) And do we listen? The answer has been a collective NO! Greed and self-interest remained king.

So when man said NO, what did God do next? God has stepped up the ante with a very simple mechanism - He accelerated the Law of Karma, both in intensity and rapidity. Now we see the accelerating consequences - greater war, faster destruction of resources, greater humblings, and greater loss of control wherever force is out of alignment with God's Will. All the while, I can imagine God saying. "It is your choice. So long as you use My gifts to you for selfish greed, you will suffer greater and greater painful consequences. But I remind you - the reverse is equally true. Whenever you use free will to serve Me, to obey Me, to love one another, treasure each other, and help each other, your reward is vastly greater than you can imagine."

And this most serious game continues. All we experience, every single pain, every single fear, but also every single delight, every single heart opening, is purely the result of our sowing. As we sow, so we now do reap MANY-FOLD!

In this manner, we suffer and suffer to a greater and greater extent until we finally are so humbled we are on our knees imploring God, "Enough! Enough! Please help!" And God steadily invites, "Then surrender. Obey! Truly love one another as I love you. Your words are nothing without your actions, your obedience."

Then man argues with God, "That is not fair! Take my sins away. Make me a good man! Purify me! Fix up the world!" And I can imagine God's answer. "Your hand is My hand. Your heart is My heart. I live in you. Allow Me to live freely in you, expressing through you, working through you. There is no rescue space ship. There is no magic wand except My life in your own hand. Clean up your own mess by allowing Me to work through you. I am the way, the truth and the life. Allow Me to live in you, work through you, love through you. OBEY! SURRENDER! I help you when you help yourself!"

Then man rants and raves and argues with God, "But you promised!" And God answers, "I already love you totally, as ever. My love is unconditional - without any conditions. It is yours for the asking. You have my total love, my total forgiveness; now love yourself; forgive yourself. Now get on with the show; take responsibility and clean up your mess. And as you surrender and finally obey, all My angels will be drawn to you and give you immeasurable assistance. My promise to you has never been broken. My love for you is eternal. Together we shall make a heaven of our beloved planet Earth. Truly accept your divine nature, the truth that My son, Jesus, taught and demonstrated so fully and perfectly. Just how much trust did Jesus have to allow Himself to be killed on that cross? That is the level of love, trust and obedience I am inviting every one of you to finally surrender to. Or do you want more pain, more suffering, and more devastation of your planet by war, earth changes, and pestilence? It is truly up to you. I am your servant."
