Video presentation of excerpt a from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story illuminated with paintings by the author Debra Clemente. artistdeb.com The Art of Debra Clemente Originals and Prints These are messages for my path, but when I read messages received by others I recognize they are my messages too.
All worth sharing. We all get what we deserve. That’s hard to hear. Growth factor. Eye to eye, faithful servant. There are no words in “the ethers,” man translates his knowings into his own language. Keep it fresh. Movie remakes. Songs rerecorded. Listen anew. Self-help, Bible, Jesus, there’s more to it. It’s like the different languages. Outer space exploration, why don’t you start investing more time to “inner space” exploration? From the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente Video presentation of excerpt a from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story illuminated with paintings by the author Debra Clemente. artistdeb.com The Art of Debra Clemente Originals and Prints Feel your power in patience. Enjoy the stillness in your soul. You need not always offer comment upon another's words or actions. Often the silent treatment is best. It allows the others words to hang unadorned in the air. There they remain bare, exposed for what they are. You can hear them and leave them alone. The other has said them and can own them or choose to atone.
Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente There is traditional Christian religious thought and there is “New Thought” which is becoming a religion of right thinking, then there is “the Good News” which Jesus proclaimed. “What?” you may say, you already proclaim Christianity. Yes, I did. But I am now proclaiming that I understand, I know, that neither the Christian, nor Judean traditions, nor the New Thought movements proclaim the true “Good News” of Christ.
For a while I thought that the people in the “School of Right Thinking” had the total story, that Jesus was telling us the value of the power of our thoughts and which I still believe is very much a part of His Message which has gotten garbled. Yes, Jesus did stress that we are what we think, in so many words, and yes the Bible tells many stories of Jesus teaching of moral values, which have become the core of most traditional religious thought and creed. But wait, says Jesus, there’s more! After I have left you, God will send a comforter, a gift of wisdom, truth and peace that will fill your heart with joy. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Love God your Father. Trust in Him. Have faith in good. See the good in all. Thank God for all. Make your every thought be a prayer of thanksgiving. Ask God to fill you with His grace. My Father is loving and wants to bestow His love into your heart. Love God. Love your brother. Prepare your heart; make a sacred and holy sanctuary in your heart for the Love of God. You can so as I, for the Love of God. How do you understand the gifts of the Holy Spirit of which Jesus foretold and Paul proclaimed? Do you believe you have been bestowed with this gift of God because of a religious rite or tradition? First of all, it’s not a one-time thing, this gift of Grace; it’s something one has to ask for in supplication daily. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.” When you choose by your own power of choice, your free will, to make your own will God’s will, and when the Comforter comes, you will have no doubt. You will have no doubt you are being physically, mentally and spiritually changed. As well as you will acquire a mind of trust; trust in God that leaves no doubt. Yes, this is the “Good News” for ready and willing hearts. God our Father is so willing, ready and able to bring aide and comfort and He does so by offering daily “downloads” of His Own Substance, Divine Love. This is the pure stuff. 100% Divine Love is what changes the minds and hearts of man making new eyes and ears, eyes to see and ears to hear. The “Good News” is that with the birth of Jesus, whom became the Christ, the world has been offered a new gift. Jesus was the first to proclaim the Christos, but as he said, we could too and would do far greater works than He. From the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente I think it would be nice to know how it all works out, but I do, don’t I? It all works out perfectly. All is well. I am safe, so I am told. When I ask myself, I will thoroughly in my heart know and show this understanding. Yes, I believe, but I ask you, Oh Great One, help my unbelief.
“I just want to be mad for a while.” It’s the title to a song, which I sing like it is my soul song, but this I don’t truly wish, I want to let go and go on. Lord, please help me to release the hold I feel I must have on life. Mood alteration federation, a way to see, a way to be, on this earth more kindly. Make peace with who you are, with where you are, and with whom you are around. Let us resound, Peace be with you all around. I like when I am more than my mere self. I can help myself be more, love more fully, by diving deep and discovering the true treasure that lies within my very being, within the depth of my soul. I can choose to bring these riches to light, to my surface, the Riches of God’s Kingdom, Heaven on Earth, unearthed in me. Let My Light be seen. Rise and shine. The door is open. True Love beckons. The “soul Truth” is here for you. Secret admirer, yours truly. Do over, make over. Make up your mind to live beyond your mind. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente One can be religious without being spiritual. One can be spiritual without being religious and as well one can be very religious and very spiritual. A religious person is a follower of a way to God that many men agree on and have formed rules and codes of ethics for all members. To be a member in good standing one must obey the system of this religion which has mostly been formed by tradition. The Divine Inspirations of each sect’s founders have been ritualized for the generations which follow to follow. The original intent of all of these rituals was to be a path which leads the followers to Spiritual Enlightenment, to God Realization.
But many have fallen short of that attainment as they see the rites and rituals, the path, of their religious traditions as the core truth and satisfaction of the groups’ requirement, not seeking more for they are not believing more was available to them. The few that have attained the Spiritual Enlightenment which was to be the goal of the quest, have been held so high by the group that they don’t even see those as being in their own box. They hold them so above their selves and their own ability that they hold them outside of their box and call them saints. Never realizing that the spiritual heights these saints attained could as well be theirs. Then there are those who have shunned other’s stories and rituals seeking the knowing of higher things on their own terms. They have realized that they can have a personal connection with Spirit without other men mediating. They have heard the voice within speak a language dear to their heart and their heart has leapt in remembrance as they feel and know the Love of God. Religions are paths to God, paths, just paths, not God Realization. God realization brings peace, patience and a comforting love within one’s heart. It’s heartfelt and heart full and tears down all boxes. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente |
