How can it be that another writes the same as me? How can it be? Well, it is because we are all one indeed. For those of you that doubt it so, I like to share this link with you to a book which appears to tell, the same story that I do. Love is all around and continually available to each and ever one of you. |

At the end you shall see, how this story was birthed through me.
I see the Truth of God's Love |
The following essay is from http://www.verba.org.uk/inner_locution.htm
Inner Locution is the name given to words arising within us, seemingly from some divine inspiration or revelation. These events are common throughout history, across cultures and spiritual traditions, and they are deserving of serious study.
They may take different forms but because of their mystical nature they can cause problems for those who wish to ratify or prove such events as valid. It is not the purpose of this site to write an essay explaining the various opinions on the subject; you can find these elsewhere on the Web.
The intention here is to present one example while affirming that we have, firmly in mind, the teachings of St John of the Cross who analysed inner locutions and established three kinds. He warned his readers of the dangers of claiming such events for one’s own egoistic gratification. Hence this site aims to offer this example of ‘Inner Locution’ as a simple service to those who seek a full, spiritual life and we leave it to others to make any necessary judgments. If any word or phrase ‘lights up’ for you then that is validation enough.
St John of the Cross was a Sixteenth Century, Spanish, mystical poet who wrote eloquently of his spiritual experiences or ‘awakenings’. In the ‘The Living Flame of Love’ he wrote:
‘How gently and lovingly
You wake in my heart
Where in secret you dwell alone’
He then expands on these words and writes:
‘For this awakening is a movement of the Word in the substance of the soul, containing such grandeur, dominion and glory, and intimate sweetness……..’
This ‘Word’ in its essence is beyond speech but, according to the needs of the moment, it may be expressed in three different ways according to St John of the Cross: as ‘Successive words’, ‘Formal words’ and ‘Substantial words’.
He explains these three forms in another work, ‘The Ascent of Mount Carmel’, and states that only the third form can be free of exploitation by the ego.
Successive words:
When the mind is illuminated, through a period of deep recollection, so it is able to reason clearly and in this state:
‘A person will reason about the subject, proceeding from thought to thought, forming precise words and judgments, deducing and discovering some unknown truth, with so much ease and clarity, that it will seem to him that he is doing nothing and that another person is interiorly reasoning, answering and teaching him.’
Formal Words:
These arise suddenly at any time of day and night without a period of deep recollection:
‘Sometimes, these words are very explicit and at other times not. They are like ideas spoken to the spirit, either as a reply to something or in another manner. At times only one word is spoken, and then again, more than one; sometimes the locutions are successive, like the others, for they may endure while the soul is being taught, or while the subject is being discussed. All these words come without intervention of the spirit because they are received as though one person were speaking to another.’
Substantial Words:
These issue from that deep centre of the soul where the ‘human’ mingles with the ‘divine’ and where no impurity is possible. With the previous two expressions of the Word the ego can claim the power of the revelation but in this deep centre no demonic force can penetrate; it is an area of the soul normally hidden from ourselves. The word arising in this place ‘does more good for a person than a whole lifetime of deeds.’
This is because the word is fully experienced in that moment so that:
‘If Our Lord should say to the soul “Be good,” it would immediately be substantially good.’
'Come and tell Me all you are afraid of', and showing me His Heart:
'When you feel unable to bear pain, come here! If you are afraid of being humbled, come here! If
you are seized with apprehension, come closer still!'
Come rest in Me and share My Joy.
What is there to fear when you are in My Hands? Never doubt the goodness of My Heart, nor the Love I bear you.
If you love me, I shall always remain near you. If you follow me closely, I shall grant you victory over the foe; I shall manifest Myself to you and teach you how to love.
I do not look at the act itself, I look at the intention. The smallest act, if done out of love, acquires such merit that it gives Me immense consolation . . . I want only love, I ask for nothing else.
If you are faithful, I shall know the riches of My Heart.
Josefa never had to translate into human language visions, locutions, or interior promptings. It seemed to her that Our Lord was manifesting His thought and wishes in the direct form of human words which she believed that she perceived in a sensible way, and whichshe had only to transcribe in the very same terms.
The message and way of reception is the same as I myself have received for this Truth of God's Love, forever shall be. - Debra Clemente

I wrote these words that follow from God for a friend who needed to hear that God is so near. I wrote as I lay in bed, barely lifting my head to see the paper. I am but a messenger. These words were given to me to receive. These words were given to me to share, so that whoever needed to receive them could hear. I asked that God fill me. I asked that God’s Love spill from me. I asked to overflow so others could know. I am not here for only me. I am here to help others see. - Debra Clemente

And then I close my eyes and open the secret door within my heart and I find Him. Where He has always been. God was not far away, it was my thoughts that were far away from Him.
Look My Dear at the stars. Marvel at how wondrous they are. Listen My Dear to the sweet serenade of my creatures whom feel free to sing safely hidden in the night shade. So high above and as well so far below, My Love is not bound by any limits you can see. But you will only hear My Voice, you will only know, if you turn within your own heart and listen silently. It's a good night My Love, a good night to talk to Me.

What you can
Hear now
As I speak
As you listen
As you understand
Your heart
To beat
Within
My Love
Pulses
And stirs
Action
To the without
Your steps are
More assured
As you learn
To trust
And this direction
Not doubt.

Agree
Or we can
Disagree
Or we can
Agree
To disagree
And yet
There is
Another choice
The choice
To just be
Just be
With another
Without judgment
Of who
Is correct
Or who
Is right
Just be
With another
Without a fight
Just be
With another
And know
It is
Alright.
