The Nearer to Thee, the Warmer the Fire | Steve Beckow

(Golden Age of Gaia)

Are not most of us, who’ve thought about the matter, oriented towards “returning” to God and “merging” with Mother/Father One?

How many ways have we envisioned that event?

The final reel? The endpoint of all existence? Our common destination? A return to the Absolute? (1)

There’s just one problem: Unbeknownst to ancient sages, we don’t just merge. We also re-emerge. The Divine Mother tells us:

Steve Beckow: Now, Mother, you have just referred to you bringing them back. You’ve just referred to mergence have you not, or union?  And you’re saying that after they return in union, they go back out into the world. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: Yes. If they so choose, yes. Now, is it in the timeline that human beings tend to think of? No. But eventually there is re-emergence. (2)

DM: [Merger] is the beginning, not the end. Each of you, each of you is infinite and eternal. Will the day come in terms of what you think of as time, when you will simply re-emerge? Yes.  (3)

And life continues.

Michael tells what we’re like upon re-emergence:

Archangel Michael: When you go home, and you can reunite in the Heart of of One, do not think that you go off on another tangent or another journey simply because you feel like it or because you are earning your way back on that linear path. You go back out into the universe as a brilliant spark of pure light! (4)

So, knowing this, if I were asked the question President Trump was recently, “What does God mean to you?” I’d answer in a way that reflects my knowledge that life goes on and on.

“Love,” I’d say.  And it wouldn’t matter how many variations of that question you came up with, my answer would still be “Love.”

It’s there in my heart like an endless ATM, the great Fact of life. My heart, it turns out, is my direct line to Mother/Father God. It just gets better and better.

The dial of my attention keeps changing and I tune into higher and more satisfying channels. The nearer my God to Thee, to quote the hymn, the more satisfying is the space I’m in.

For now, the rising of love through the direct heart line I have to Thee is totally satisfying. I think I’ll tune into this channel for a while.

While I’m here, may I also point out how “nearer to Thee” results in an effortless, almost-invisible transition into the divine qualities? The nearer to Thee I come, the warmer is the divine fire.
