a conversation with god

It's not very often you meet someone who has had a conversation with god. Well, I have; twice.

The first time I was thirteen, and was quite chuffed that I was chosen  to  have a conversation with the big one.  This really nice guy came and picked me up, and drove me to a place (not allowed to say where).  God was really nice to me,  said: "call me  Amor".  She was about forty something, dressed casually.  

Is that Italian?   I ventured.

It's just convenient, she replied. She told me she spoke every language on this planet, including the oldest - Koori.  And a few that haven't come into being yet.

I was a bit too shy to ask many questions then; this time it was different. Another thing I can't disclose is how I was contacted.

This time I drove myself to an industrial area in Sydney, parked in a smelly loading dock. I was apprehensive.

This can't be right I thought, as I pressed the button.  The door opened automatically, and I was just stunned.  It was a wilderness inside, and smelt wonderful.

Hello sweetie!

It wasn't Amor.  This person was totally androgynous.  God shook my hand.

Follow me, Alexx.

I followed her down a short path into the wilderness, and we came to a clearing where there were two armchairs and a coffee able and a very plush Greek rug, of the sixties era.

Call me Gene, she said softly.

Oh I get it, Gene is a bisexual name I guess, like Alex.

This is a wonderful space. I love it.

Thankyou.

The cute guy came in (remember him) and brought us two long tall glasses of a drink.  He had changed into a silk top and a sarong, barefoot.

Thanks Sean.  This is a herb juice,  And it's not from this planet. Gene smiled at my surprise.  I took a sip.

It's certainly out of this world.

Gene burst into laughter.  I made god laugh!  Wow! I thought.

So you want to know why another meeting, and why you.

Yes.  Gene had read my mind, not surprising, I thought.

You interested us - a background in Christian Science, and now a follower of Eckhart Tolle.

Us?  Surely not the royal plural I thought.

We work in committees, and reach decisions by consensus.

OK, you are god, who are the others?

All part of the universal consciousness.  We sometimes take on physical forms, for times like this for example.

We have five levels of operation. This is level five, where we interact directly with individuals, from Earth, and many other planets.

Oh?  More advanced than us?

Yes.  They don't have wars, or poverty, or greed... I could go on.

I understand. So I guess you need to spend more time with us?

Not really, we don't work in temporal or spacial constraints.

Oh.

The other levels?

Gene kicked off her Birkenstocks, and I noticed her pants were slightly  flared.  How cool I thought.

You don't need to know, except that on level one we take direct action.  For instance like we did with Hillary & Tenzig.

And Darfur, Iraq?

Gene became serious.

We do have level five operates working, and level one in some instances, but the pervading consciousness makes it difficult for us to be effective.  Religion is one of the major problems we face.

So the Bible?  

A tissue of lies, from the virgin birth to the crucifixion.  Miracles don't happen. 

So Jesus?

Well he had a mission. Water into wine was allowed, but nothing else.  He got restless and went to India (as you do).  He got enlightenment through the Buddha, though he was pretty cluey to begin with.  He was our son, but in no other way than what you or anyone else is.  He ended up in Nepal.  We have no idea who was crucified.

We became silent for a while.

So where is Amor?

Oh she wanted to see you, but she got called away on an urgent mission.  Out of this world.

Gene smiled.

So much I wanted to know....

So death?

Earth is close to creating life, when they do they might understand  the meaning of death.  The body dies, but not the spirit. I am a testament to that.

But you are god.

So are you, sweetie.  There is only one reality. Only one existence.  Whether you know it or not, you will eventually have the same status as me.

We are all god.

Right.

We were silent for a long while.

Hitler?

Working on level three.  Often when people die on planet earth, they undergo a spectacular epiphany.

Cool.

Suffering?

There are many causes for suffering.  It is not beyond the ability of planet earth to overcome these difficulties.

So god won't help?

Individually we do, ( level one) but we generally don't claim or are given credit for it.  Things like spontaneous remission.

So you do perform 'miracles'.

No. When you understand the reality of existence, you will not see these as miracles.

More food for thought.  Still I wanted to know more.

Those not on committees, what do they do?

The possibilities are endless.  

Some take on research programmes and travel the universe. Usually in spirit form.

No need for money? 

Like they  say you can't take it with  you. We have no need for worldly things.

Did you live on Earth?

No

I'm still not clear on why you chose me.

Maybe just because we like you.  A writer is always good value.

Thank you Gene,  you have been most generous with your time.  My trusty band of blog readers will find this interesting I'm sure.

Sean came in on cue, and helped me to my feet.  Gene gave me a hug.

It's been a pleasure meeting an Earthling like you.

Sean walked me to my car.   

Have you been to India?

Oh yeah, long time ago.  Met the Buddha. He told me we are all Buddhas. Now I know we are all god. There really isn't anything else.

He gave me a gentle kiss.

I drove home, in heaven.
