A good person.

Do you want to be a good person. Just remember that you already are. Ha ha. No, seriously:
Just remember that everybody is divine, and you will treat them accordingly; Loving, as in heaven.

If you deem your child to be Jesus-like, the attitude you will have then will bring out a heavenly creature. And you will not choose to let him see violence on TV or in games. You would not yell at him or in other ways punish him, because you would no longer believe the reason for something that appeared evil or selfish was in fact evil or selfish. You would instead ask for the needed explanation instead of judging him as mean. You would let him be creative, happy, learn, develop, and serve mankind.

This is a good lesson for yourself as well: If you consider yourself as an important divine being, you will take much better care of yourself. You will not be friends with mean people, who take you for granted and treat you bad, but serve those who are greatful for your service.

The power of men and women.

We must have power where our special abilities lie. That is what the world needs; to appreciate our differences. And they are huge. We must be bold enough to be ourselves and not compare and think others or ourselves are wrong and should adjust by suppressing parts of ourselves and in that way lose some of our power.

To believe in God.

Animals can see that humans do things they can not do, but they can't understand how it's done, how it is possible. I don't think they rejects the facts based on that lack of understanding and calls it coincidence. It's the same with us and God. We don't understand what is going on on a higher level than our conciousness takes us. If we are less proud, yes, more like an animal that don't hang on to any beliefs, or a small child, if you want, we can ask God to unravel our snarls /knots. That is what i usually ask God to do for me.

many unbelievers ask something like this: "If God has the power to end suffering, but does not do so, then it is an evil, sadistic freak." 
God does, with the help of those people who care. The loving care is influenced by God, the source of love, and God is also the one that gave us free will to be able to choose to do good, and far better than egoistic desires suggests.

If God did everything for us, how would we learn anything? We would still be crawling in the dust. How would we learn about the sufferers needs if we did not suffer? First we suffer, then we get compassion to serve others. We don't need God for the acts in this world. There are people enough to care about everyone. God is the provider. He gives us everything we need. We just have to ask for it.

"If you are looking for a factual proof for the existence of God, none does nor can exist because factual proofs can only deal with things that are part of creation and God is not part of creation."

Vår funksjon eller Guds funksjon?

Somebody say they create their own dreams and that the outer world also is created by us. But how can they believe something they are not conscious of? These living visions, and thoughts, who produceses them? How are they produced?

Svaret som kom i dusjen:

Mennesker er ikke selve årsaken, selv om de forårsaker noe,og utløser noe fra Kilden til alt. Det er forskjell på årsak og utløsende årsak. Menneskene styrer skuta. Gud bringer omstendigheter tilpasset menneskets behov i utviklingen, men også deres selviske behov. Materielt sett er hver ide forbundet med en tanke, følelse, vilje, handling, ord og eterisk energi. Noe på ett plan er også på de andre.

Det er Gud som er kilden til energi og ideer. Det er der alt kommer fra. I mitt syn kommer det derfra som passer enhver, som bønnesvar, Guds omsorg, konstant, enten vi er bevisst hva vi trenger eller ei. Gud registrerer våre bevisste behov og de ubevisste. Vi kan la underbevisstheten styre (determinisme) eller ta bevisste retningsvalg (fri vilje).

Når noen sier de er Gud rygger jeg bakover. Var det noen som glemte at beskjedenhet er en dyd? Holder det ikke at vi er guddommelige, med en sjel skapt av Moder Jord og Gud Fader? Med et mål om å løsrive oss fra den trygge Moder Jords favn og gå ut og tjene verden?

An answer to "How do I know what in me is Gods will?

Most importantly: know that what you really want is what God wants for you as well.

In prayer I can ask for something that is not what I want deep down. When I have got the experience I asked for I understand that it is not fullfilling, so it is better to ask God directly what He wants for me. Then I will be happy and get what I need. To ask God is much better than trying to figure it out myself, with my limited brain, or ask according to a desire that only satisfy myself. It does not have to be a difference between my dreams and Gods will, though.

When you have an idea and desire of what you want to do you can ask yourself if this serves mankind somehow, making it a better world, or if it  only satisfy your lower self. Or ask if it satisfy you on a deep level or not. I have asked God what I should do as a profession many times and the answer is always the same as my calling. I should write. When I became a Bahai my writing changed. It changed because my motivation changed from writing for the benefit of mankind, and not for my own amusement. The result of that was more satisfying for me too.

What you really want is the same as what God wants.

To be mature is to turn from "what is in it for me?" to "how can I fill other people needs?". To be happy because you make someone happy. To feel significant because you do something significant for others.
