Conversations with God Archive

I first read this book years ago. I found it really interesting. There’s one passage I’d like to share with you, which shaped my thinking for the BiBi project. My copy of this book is an old paperback, so I’m not sure if it equates directly to this volume, but here is the passage which inspired me…

“All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions:

Love  or  Fear.

In Truth there are only two emotions – only two words in the language of the Soul. These are the opposite ends of the great polarity which I created when I produced the Universe and your world as you know it today.

These are the two points which allow the system you call “relativity” to be.

Without these two points, without these two ideas about things no other idea could exist.

Every human thought, every human action is based in either

LOVE  or  FEAR.

There is no other human motivation and all other ideas are but derivitaves of these two. They are simply different versions, different twists on the same theme.

Think on this deeply and you will see that it is True.

This is what I have called the sponsoring thought.

It is either a thought of Love or Fear.

This is the thought behind the thought behind the thought.

It is the first thought.

It is the prime force.

It is the raw energy that drives the engine of human experience.

And here is how human behaviour produces repeat experience after repeat experience.

It is why humans Love then destroy then Love again.

Always there is the swing from one emotion to the other.

Love sponsors Fear sponsors Love sponsors Fear..

…and so it is that in the moment you pledge your highest Love, you greet your greatest Fear.

For the first thing you worry about after saying “I Love You” is whether you’ll hear it back.

And if you hear it back, then you immediately begin to worry that the Love you have just found, you will lose.  And so all action becomes a reaction – defence against loss – even as you seek to defend yourself against the loss of God.

Yet if you knew who you are – that you are the most magnificent, the most remarkable, the most splendid, being God has ever created – you would never fear. For who could reject such wonderous magnificence? Even God could not find fault in such a being.

But you do not know who you are and you think you are a great deal less.

And where did you get the idea of how much less than magnificent you are? From the only people whose word you would take on everything. From your Mother and your Father.

It was your mother and your father who taught you that Love is conditional. You felt their conditions many times. And that is the experience you take into your own Love relationships.

YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN

WHAT IT IS LIKE

TO BE LOVED

WITHOUT CONDITION.

YOU DO NOT REMEMBER

THE EXPERIENCE

OF THE LOVE OF GOD.

THIS IS A CALL

TO STOP

SUCH UNCONSCIOUS LIVING.

IT IS A CHALLENGE

TO WHICH YOUR SOUL HAS CALLED YOU

FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME.”
