Glossary

Dear Reader:

Chuang Tzu states: Birth is not a beginning; death is not an end. There is existence without limitation; there is continuity without a starting-point. Existence without limitation is Space. Continuity without a starting point is Time. There is birth, there is death, there is issuing forth, there is entering in.

Do What’s Right, Come What May.

Psalms 111, 10

Vision from the Source

After I had finished writing the last sentence of my manuscript, I felt exhausted and felt true bodily fatigue. I guess I had not been sleeping well. Glancing outside from the office window, all was quiet and not many cars were passing by. Well, who would want to drive on the streets at this time? People who are still on the streets have to be there for a reason. There are things that happen in this world that need no explanation. I am glad to have finished this manuscript: I burned so much midnight oil getting it completed. I can relax now and feel glad I did it.

Immediately, I fell asleep. Suddenly, I was traveling somewhere where I had never set foot before. I did not know where I was. For my curiosity, I felt must find out. To walk into this place was extremely strange. I mean extraordinary; I mean out of this three-dimensional world where I dwell.

In front of me I see a wooden glass door: it says, Find the key to enter, if you dare. I think I have nothing to be afraid of, as I like a challenge. However, where do I find this key? Ah, I know it! Perhaps it is hiding under the door mat. Yes, I’ve got it. Soon as I turn the key, the door is wide open. I walk in: it is very peaceful. It is not very bright, but it has candles at the entrance. I have an instinct that an invisible spirit guides me here. With my curiosity, I am continually looking around; I can feel the stillness and motionlessness of this place. I do not feel unsafe, even though this place is a mystery to me. Hello! Somebody there? No answer. As I walk on I see a water-door in front of me: I think, A door made of water? Strange! It says, Do not be afraid, please enter. I enter. I see on both sides a water-wall and the water is running. A fountain is at the front of the room. It gives me a soft and tranquil feeling. I walk in and I see a titanium door. Well, it has a message on the door. Please enter to see more... I think, as I am invited, I will enter. This room is even more extraordinary than the other two rooms. It displays many things concerned with this world: how this world developed from the Stone Age until now. It is an interesting lesson for me. Anyway, as I walk deeper into the room, there is a silver door: again it says, Follow me, come and see. I think that this statement looks familiar. As I enter, I see two doors, it says, Select your choice: I hope you make the right decision. Warning: One door will lead to fire and one will lead to the silence of a tranquil place for eternity. Ok, which door should I enter? I have no fear. I turn to the right door. As I walk in–Wow! What is this place? It is like heaven. I see two angels walking towards me. Welcome, welcome! You have made the right choice and we knew you would select the right door. The angel said, You are in the Kingdom of God, where everything is possible.

Wait a minute. Why am I here?

You are here because God invited you here.

Am I dead?

No, no you are not, just out of your body temporarily.

I see.

God invited you here for a reason. He wants to explain to you something that you have not understood in your mind, something that you want to ask Him. You want to know why so many bad things happened in your life, even though you have done no wrong. You see, God understands your pains; He has understood all human pain, but these are human experiences. All humans must experience it. Each individual has a unique experience during their journey there, and you are no exception. We understand you have done many good things to help others. You see sickness in your body is a healing transformation and, once you have gone through this process, you do not need to experience these painful lessons again. So, God wants you to be patient and you will do well for certain. God wants you to continue to write and He suggests your next book should be entitled, Retrospective: From the Void of Emptiness to Planet Earth. He appreciates you have been writing books on His behalf. He endorses what you do and is happy for you.

I try to do the best I can. Due to my illness, I cannot do much. Sometimes, even if I want to, my bodily fatigue does not allow me to act.

"You must stop thinking that. You must remember that what you constantly think will transform to become your reality. Whatever you have vibrated to the Universe, you will receive because of the Law of Magnetic Energy. In other words, if you feel upset or distressed, that is the energy you have echoed into the Universe and the immediate result is that you feel despair, agitated or irritated, or your body feels fatigued. So, whatever you contemplate, say or do is always a perfect match with your current environment, because it is caused by you and the effect is the result you receive.

"Your keenness to choose this body, race and geographical environment when you were in a spiritual form means that you accepted whatever happened to you, whether it was pleasant or unpleasant, in the physical world. The question that remains unanswered is whether or not you have forgotten the body you selected in the nothingness when you were non-being. Now you are complaining and echo negative vibrational energy to the Universe. What do you expect that you will receive from our Creator? You are the one who sends out negative energy, so whatever you stir into the atmosphere will vibrate and inevitably be a perfect match with what you seek in your desire’s impulses. Now think about it: If a person keeps thinking his adverse and chaotic situations are not going to improve, then how does he expect his life to transform for the better, even when the Universe wants to help him? It is unlikely that he can receive an inspirational message from the Divine, because his mind is too busy with negative thoughts. When the mind has too much clutter, God cannot be present. God does not want to stand inside a personal conflict. God will be consciously present when a person’s mind is still: In the silence he will feel God and receive help from God.

In addition, you are a creator of your own reality. You must be aware that you do not need to send out thought-words to the Universe to achieve what you wish for. In fact, the Universal-mind does not need to read words from you. Your constant vibrational feelings are as clear as words. You and your physical body echo energies through the air to the Universe all the time, only you do not know this, but the Mind of God has always known and received them.

Do not worry. What you have experienced is only temporary: in time you will do well. God knows that.

I genuinely hope so!

God suggests you use this title, but, if you have some other ideas, you can make your own choice. Humans always have choices in whatever they do, since God has granted humans freedom of choice to do anything according to their heart’s desire. But, humans need to make the right choice and never abuse their free will.

I believe that. Sometimes we humans just misuse our rights and freedoms. I will never do wrong to others. I believe it is my conscience. I just will not do that.

We can see that in your Book of Karma your earthly records are not too bad, but you can do better. Though, you might have already known you do not have any negative Karma. Hands on, your illnesses are not bad Karma returned to you: it’s just that your body needed to make certain adjustments before the transformation of healing can take place. We in heaven know that, but you do not know. That is one of the reasons God wants you to know too. You have been doing well and He shines His light on you, healing you and blessing you always. You have nothing to worry about, just carry on His work and complete your book as He intends you to do on Earth.

OK, God only suggests a title, but what should I write about?

God thinks of everything, you know. Here are the contents you can include in your book: Chapter One: Planet Earth; Chapter Two: Life is Unpredictable; Chapter Three: Emotion; Chapter Four: The Mind; Chapter Five: Oneness and Nothingness; Chapter Six: Appearances; Chapter Seven: When to Stop; Chapter Eight: Soul; Chapter Nine: Thy Will be done; Chapter Ten: Growing from Challenges; Chapter Eleven: Good and Evil; Chapter Twelve: A Sleeper on the Train; Chapter Thirteen: The Sixth Sense; Chapter Fourteen: Happiness and Compassion; Chapter Fifteen: Giving and Receiving; Chapter Sixteen: The Universal Laws of Karma; Chapter Seventeen: The Universal Laws of Nature; Chapter Eighteen: Flexibility and Softness; Chapter Nineteen: Intuition; Chapter Twenty: From Formless to Form; Chapter Twenty-one: How to Know God: the Soul’s Journey; Chapter Twenty-two: Pay Attention; Chapter Twenty-three: Let go of your Life and Relinquish it to the Invisible Source; Chapter Twenty-four: Meditation; Chapter Twenty-five: Afterlife, Rebirth, Reincarnation or Re-becoming.

Well, God really thought of everything. I can see that these are really good contents. I like it and I will write it. I hope I will remember them all.

Do not worry; you know what to do. We believe you will work it out fine.

Are you ready to meet God?

You mean God would like to see me?

Yes, of course.

A voice says, Come near to me, for I am expecting you. I knew you would be here.

You are here at the right time and in the right place. Come, and extend your hands to connect with me. I am not going to hurt you. I am your Lord God. I would like to speak with you. I know you need help, and perhaps that is one of the reasons that brings you to my Kingdom. I am delighted to see you and glad that you have made it this far. Allow me to heal your physical body, which sometimes causes you pain. I know that physical health is your utmost concern. Allow me to touch your crown, sending you my golden light. Let it run through your mortal body and start healing your organs, cells, heart, arteries, and lungs and swelling legs. Allow My energy to extend outside your body and continue to shield you with radiant light, so that you are protected. No harmful force can come near you, so, when you return to Earth, you can continue your mission on My behalf without fear or concern. I believe you should feel better now. Are you feeling better, now that I have bestowed My light upon you? It will always be with you, any time you need it. You will always feel My presence, and you can speak to Me in silence. I will be there, listening to your concerns.

Thank you, my Lord God, for your healing, and for blessing my mortal body and every concern that I encounter. I appreciate you. As soon as I have said that, I realize I have returned to the third-dimension on Earth.

Then, the voice says, I am the honor within you, and I will be with you every step of the way. You should never underestimate yourself. You are a divine and unfailing source of your own support, comfort and optimism that portrays everything as auspicious, beautiful and plentiful: you are a part of Me without limitation and that essential nature and truth never changes. This fountain of love pours over everything in your life. Be well, and continue to do good work on Earth so that all of your fellow beings, in every corner of the Earth, are benefited. Farewell now! I love you.

I had a non-physical vision at 3:33 am on Saturday, January 01, 2000. I received this vision on the astral plane; that morning I received an inspirational message from the Great God. I had never received this kind of message before.

All of a sudden, I found myself singing the song, How Great Thou Art.

Here is the vision that I was given:

How Great Thou Art! Amazing, great, how great Thou art! You do not know how much I appreciate You for healing my pained and aching body. I am now healed, recovered, and relieved. Before, I could not see, but now I am touched by Your kindness and compassion. I believe, I believe, I believe.

How great Thou art. I appreciate You. Thank you for allowing me to write books on Your behalf. I appreciate Your care and compassion towards my life. Now, my life has been transformed and uplifted to a completely new, higher level of healthy, abundant, and peaceful living. I appreciate that You sent Doctor Elchhorst to heal my bodily problems. Now, the toxicity has been eradicated from my mortal self. The swelling on the sole of my foot is now healed through Thy grace. Thank you, God, for everything. I thank You for allowing enormous miracles that will carry forward into the future and unto eternity.

I must admit I was lost in the dark.

I can now see that Your miracles have been lovingly bestowed to heal and to care for me. I continue to see Your grace and art in the physical world. I will continue to work for and serve You until I am reunited with You in the hereafter. I feel great and fortunate being touched by Your loveliness. Please accept my deep gratitude. Amazing grace! Thank You, merciful, powerful God, for healing me over the years. I appreciate that. I am deeply thankful to the infinite consciousness. Thank you. Ara Kara

Foreword

Do you realize who you really are? Why did we come here? What is our final destination? I am sure we are here to take the glorious works of God on a mission. For a cause extends His grace, mercy, love and peace to serve everyone. However, upon completion of our mission here, we take a return trip back to nothingness of the void. We transform to being formless, and ultimately our spirits reunite with the Oneness of the Source, the spirit of God. We liberate ourselves from being earth-bound, and free ourselves as infinite spirits in the void of emptiness. We no longer have anything to fear or worry about or anything that we need to do. We simply experience the joy of being set free.

During our physical journey on Earth, we realized that we are an Infinite Being taking refuge in a mortal body, and having human experiences and learning lessons here. We, and all creatures, are an expression of the Oneness of the Universal Source. Hence, we are connected with one another. The idea of separation is misled by the gloomy Ego that God and we are two separate entities. The truth is that after we come here, we let the Ego handle the direction of our lives. The Ego misled us that God did not care for us, so we cast God out. The Ego told us that there is one life to live, so we should gather all we can and defy others. Others are competitors and rivals, our challengers or enemies. Hence, we should beat them, but not associate with them. In addition, we should always stay alert, to learn and earn more for ourselves, and work harder to accumulate more wealth and acquisitions.

For all of these, the Ego wants us to be removed from our true nature. Any thought that is loveless is the motivation away from where we come from and is the belief of the false self, the Ego-concept of separateness.

Assume all living creatures have a spirit inside, including an old oak tree. Our inability to see or touch the spirit does not mean that it never exists. The giant oak tree has lived and passed through many winds and storms for over a thousand years, yet it stands firm, maintaining its own strength. It continues to exist because it has a spirit that dwells within to support it. Similarly, the rocks, the plants, and the animals are created under the same Source energy as mankind. Hence, we are connected with all living and non-living things on Earth. There are no separations between animals, plants, and humans. It can also explain the reason why we are affected when animals are sick.

The difference between humans and animals is that humans have the power of language. It is a gift from the Source that allows us to have a dominating power over all creatures on Earth. The power of language allows us to communicate through spoken words and to understand signs and symbols. Therefore, we understand one another. While animals do not have words, they also communicate to each other through their own unique ways.

The whole Universe is made of love, and everything of being represents the expression of God’s love. Living in the ether-world as a spirit is full of bliss, and then we transform to be, which is a manifestation of God’s creation. Think about living in the nothingness full of love and joy, and everything is illuminated by the power of God’s spirit. We do not need to worry about a thing because we are inevitably loved by God.

Jesus put it perfectly: He who does not have love does not know God, for God is love. (1 John 4:8). Since we come from the Infinite Self, we were with God and loved by God. Therefore, Infinite Being is love. We love the nothingness from which we came.

However, many things have changed since we came here. We have forgotten our true nature and do as we please. Free will and freedom of choice have let us do things without heed, and we have disconnected from humanity, humility and kindness. We have let our Egos convince us that we are unique individuals and need to fight, take control and conquer others to prove our superiority to them. Furthermore, the Ego dogma and optimum spin that rule our false self cause us to grab everything aggressively, even from our remote neighbors.

Consequently, our qualities that once were similar to God’s have transformed into those of no love: frustration, anxiety, fear, anger, greed and prejudice. Ultimately, we keep our distance and abandon God. The reality seems to be that we need to make a living constantly and continue to fight for survival to eat our daily bread. If we do not work hard, everything can become more difficult for us to endure, and we may fear that the harsh world will affect our daily lives. Therefore, we change our environments and living conditions in order to do well and live abundantly.

I believe we all want lives and journeys full of meaning and purpose so at the end of our trips we will have no remorse for what we have done and can go back to the emptiest of
