Do we choose to learn to Godwrite, or are we chosen?

The first formal registration for the local workshop just came in. And here this dear person wrote why she wants to take the workshop:

“I have so much inside of me that is trying to come out, or that is trying to come through me. So often it feels blocked up somewhere and I want to learn to let it flow naturally, easily, spontaneously. I want to be a clear instrument for divine truth to flow through me, a human pen by which God’s words appear on the page.”

This makes me think of several things I would like to say:

1. It is easy to feel the sincerity and pure heart of the person who wrote this. Her commitment shows.

2. Whatever registrants’ stated reasons may be, my understanding is that God played a hand in it. The stated reasons cover only one level.

3. “So much inside that wants to come out.” I know that feeling very well.

It seems that, as we continue to Godwrite and grow, deeper layers of blockage appear. Here’s what one new Godwriter heard from God about this:

“Ask for the resistance to go. There are layers. Ask every time you come to a new layer. In asking is the healing. Writing is an action that helps release the blocks. You write to Me, and blocks within yourself are dissolved. Don’t delay. Now is the time. Start somewhere, and it will come to you.”

4. And I especially love the last line the new registrant wrote:

“I want to be a clear instrument for divine truth to flow through me, a human pen by which God’s words appear on the page.”

Oh, to be closer to God, and closer, and closer.

5. This last line made me think of something I haven’t thought of in a long time. I can only speak for myself, of course. To my mind, God’s words come to me rather than through me. This may be picking hairs, yet it seems like an important difference. I listen. I hear. I write down. It’s God’s writing. I stay out of it, and yet I am also there. I participate. It’s not my writing. It’s God’s. God’s words come to me. The difference is subtle.

Maybe someone else is better able than I to find the words to describe the difference and why it’s important.

Perhapst all writing is Godwriting with more or less ego involvement.

I see the difference between “to me” and “through me” as that between being God’s hand and being a piece of plumbing. I’m not sure, though, whether it’s an important difference.

I was thinking that if God’s words come “to” you, as they could come “to” someone else, the flavour should always be the same. I rather see that His words pass “through” us and are “impressed” by what we are. Your Godwriting comes to be poetical, another one could be succinct. If you were a teacher in mathematics rather than literature, I wonder if your Godwriting would have been the same.
God pours the water, but you provide the vase that will shape it. This implies your participation.

I couldn’t say about TO or THROUGH, I just feel a different energy, kind of all comprehensive, warm showers of love.
so beautiful the last line of the registration!
much much love.

When I do Godwriting, always more often it happens to me that my hand write down words and my brain think other things, things much differents. When the hand finishes I read what “I” have wrote. This could be through? The difference is subtle, like you say dear Gloria. But I have to say this doesn’t matter to me because write down, hear in the mind, speak with is the most beautiful thing in the world. Every step doesn’t do of me a saint, but it is too much useful, electrical, hopeful, and whatever you want say about.

Through…to…hmmm, good question. I have always felt that Godwriting was “through” one. The energy of the Creator flows through the person and out the hand onto the paper. “To” to me, confers control of some sort, as if the human part of you controls what you put on paper. It involves thinking, and there is no thinking in Godwriting, just flowing. But like Patrizia and others say, does it really matter? Semantics. It is just a label after all, and we know what God thinks of labels!
You sure do keep us on our toes Gloria!

It is a very subtle difference, as you say. The difference that I see is one of being on the path to the goal, or being at the goal. Both are valid, but the perspective is different. What exactly is the goal, in this case? In the ideal, I would say that the goal is to be so in tune with God, so at-one with God, as to be the very extension of his hand that writes the words of his heart and mind. To be at this goal is to be in the egoless state where the Spirit that creates the words in the mind of God is the same Spirit that moves the pen on the paper in one continuous flow. Here there is no ego involvement, no distortion possible of the divine truth coming through that pen. Is it too much to hope for? Too lofty a goal to pursue? If so, then let me be content for now to have God’s words come to me. If even just a little bit of separation must exist between God and I, enough for his words to come to me, then so be it. At least I will be on the path to the goal, and as long as I am on the path, I am coming closer to the goal. Thank you, Gloria, for this path.

I find your quote from the new Godwriter, Gloria, to be very rich and provocative. It says quite a bit in a few lines and causes me to reflect deeply on what it contains.

This Godwriter wrote: “Ask for the resistance to go. There are layers. Ask every time you come to a new layer.” It seems that everything is multidimensional, or in other words, composed of many layers. We tend to see only the most superficial or top layers, and our challenge is to attend to the deeper layers. We see here that in our own minds we find that there is potential resistance to be found in all of the layers. As this quote tells us, we can release the resistance to get to the layers beneath.

The writer goes on to tell us: “In asking is the healing.” We want to release our resistance and we wonder how to do this. Asking is one way. In thinking this over it comes to me that when we are asking we are automatically aligning our vibration with He Who Gives. When we ask, we are perceiving the value of the change we seek. When we ask we are open to the receiving and not resisting it. Asking opens us up to welcoming this change. God has told us that all our asking is always answered and He wants us to have all the good there is. If we lack, then, it us our resistance that creates this lack. Asking is quite powerful as a dissolver of our resistance.

Will we ever reach a last and deepest level? The quick and easy answer seems to be yes and that is union with All That Is. But I wonder. Could it be that there never is an end and therefore no final level? Could the levels of who we are in our minds be an infinite trail that has no end and the joy is in the process?

Thank you, Gloria, sweet one, for putting this heavenly quote in your blog……Chuck

I’ve said it before, and, undoubtedly, I’ll say it again.
Your comments are fabulous. Insightful, thought-provoking.

What matters, of course, is that God’s words come.

I guess I have the feeling that when I think that God’s words come to me, rather than through me, I’m saying I take dictation. I am that humble donkey who pulls a cart of God’s messages.

When I think that God’s answers come through me, I — and I speak only for myself here — I suspect I feel more important i.e. ego-involved.

At the same time, of course, what does one preposition have to do with the beauty of Godwriting?

So please erase everything I’ve said!

I picked this excerpt from Chuck’s Question to God:
«It is not exactly My words you hear. You hear a vibration. And so easily a translating gene picks up the vibration in your language. I TALK TO YOU BEFORE LANGUAGE.»

What a wonderful revelation. Perhaps it is our Higher Self that Godwrites, because our Higher Self holds the vibration on which God creates each of us constantly. It is a receiver and a transmitter all at once and so easily a translating gene puts it in your preferred language.
