Guess what. I’m not disappointed.
God, I know that heaps of people who read my books are convinced that I can hear you clearly…
You can.
Can I just finish what I was saying please, God?
Of course.
They are convinced that I hear you clearly, and are equally convinced they don’t.
They’re generally wrong about that.
Can you wait just a minute please, God, just till I’ve explained?
Sure.
Good grief, now I’m starting to forget what I wanted to say…
You were talking about people thinking that you hear clearly, which you do, but they don’t, but they’re wrong about that, for the most part anyway. It takes practise, but that’s all it takes, and they can hear. The practise, if they’re willing to do it, helps them realise that they hear me.
There you go, I haven’t even finished the question and you’ve answered it.
Not quite. Not all of it. Keep going, finish the question.
Ok, well, here’s the thing. I know that a lot of people who have read my books are convinced I can hear you far more clearly than them.
You’ve been practising, almost every day for 12 years. That counts for something. But many of them can hear just as, or almost as clearly as you. Some even more. They just don’t realise it. That’s the benefit of the practise.
God! Please!! Can I just finish my question??
Of course, I’m kidding around, and the kidding around has a purpose by the way.
Ok, they’re convinced I can hear far more clearly than them, but I can’t, not really. They don’t realise that even now, even after 12 years at this, even after writing books about it and speaking to thousands of people about it — I’m still, probably half the time…
At least half the time :)
Ok, at least half the time, I’m still not sure it’s you.
What bought this up?
As if you didn’t know! I think about this all the time. Even today, I’ve spent half of today, seems like anyway, asking you about my businesses and being far from convinced that I’m hearing you.
Why do you think?
You know why! Because your answers, or what seem to be your answers seem far too good, far too positive…
You mean far too much like what you’d like me to say. You can’t believe that I would possibly say what you want me to say??
Exactly!
And, why, pray tell me, am I not allowed to say things that you’d like to hear? Why can’t it be me if it’s good news? Why, must everything I say be the opposite of what you’d like me to say?
Well…
I’ll tell you why. Because you’ve been taught by the inner voices that you don’t deserve it, whatever ‘it’ is, whatever you’d love to achieve, the things you burn to achieve, the voices have told you that you’re not good enough to achieve it, earn it, have it. And, what’s more, you’ve been taught by those who think they speak on my behalf, that I am unhappy with humanity and that hard, difficult sacrifice is your reward on earth.
Yes, well…
Possibly, just possibly they haven’t read that bit about my burden being light, or that I came that you might have abundance right here on earth in this life and more in the life to come. I’m no spoilsport. The inner voices tell you I am, they tell you I have to be hard on you because you fall short. The inner voices tell you, and those who think they speak on my behalf tell you that I’m disappointed in you. Here’s the news. I’m not. It’s the opposite.
