For you who are seeking the very truth of your being, you will not find it in this book. Neither will you find it in other books nor will you find it in teachers. Books and teachers are only instrumental to point you in the direction you wish to take at that time. This book does a little more than point; it arouses the Truth within your Being. We all make choices based on the information we have, when this information is Truth that cannot be denied we can be bold in our choice, as we know it is right. It is in making the choice to follow our souls' call that we become transformed by the alchemy of grace. This grace is the grace of the oneness to which we all are.

Chapter One

The Consciousness Of Energy

Let Us Begin The Energy Of All Beyond Defining I love You Always Satisfaction You Are Limitless Know Yourself

Let Us Begin

Let us begin. In the beginning was the word. This word was made available to every man, woman, and child. This word was grace. It is by grace that you live; it is to grace that you owe your very existence. It is grace that calls you back to herself. I, your maker, the creator of all, call you through grace. I formed you. In my mind I formed you, and I loved you before you took the form you are now in. I love you now.

It is my presence that stirs within you as you admire a beautiful sunset. This is the part of me that resides in you—the part of yourself that you deny. Can you feel that inner stirring as I admire my own handiwork? The awe that you feel—that indescribable joy that you feel at times when you are overcome with the emotion of joy—these are times when you recognise the creation as something of sheer beauty, yet you do not recognise me.

I dwell within you. I am residing within your very spirit—within your life force. Can you feel the love within your blood as it flows through your veins? I am in every cell of your being. I am within your DNA. There is much to look at in the world around you, but it is limited. Look within, beyond limit. The me you find within is infinite. We never end, you and me. We are connected and interwoven; we exist for all eternity. In me all your joys are made full. Beyond time and beyond space, I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. You began in me, and you return to me, the source of all. In this way I am the beginning and the end, but truly, as I say unto you, there is no end and no beginning to me. I have always been and will always be, for I am the eternal presence. Nothing exists anywhere in your universe and beyond, except me. I am the All.

The Energy Of All

I am divine consciousness, the energy of all. All that exists is energy, my conscious energy, for I am conscious of all that is. I am conscious of both what is formed and what is not formed.

You are parts of my consciousness within a form. All knowledge and truth of your being lies within you.

Your soul is your consciousness; it is your individual part of me. If you know your soul, you know me.

Your body is the vehicle your soul chose to experience this life with. Your body is the perfect match for all the lessons and experiences your soul wanted for this journey.

Your mind is a receptacle for the knowledge gained by your unique experiences.

I created you as parts of me, and yet you are individuals. I am within you, and you are within me. In that way, you are within each other. I exist in all things and in the absence of things. I am in all.

Beyond Defining

I exist in the silence. I exist in the vastness you constantly try to cover with images, smells, or sounds—anything to feed the hunger of your senses. It is only because of an incessant need for a point of reference that you try to define me.

I am. I am beyond defining.

I cannot be confined, yet I am not beyond experiencing. When you touch my silence and know me, there are no questions, only awareness of infinity, and even beyond awareness I am. Where I am, there is no need for questions, no need for answers, for I am the all of all. I am the highest of the high.

I am beyond definition and beyond naming. Nothing in your limited reality can define me. It is only when your reality becomes one with mine, when your consciousness becomes one with mine, that you know me beyond defining.

You know me beyond defining in that place where you are beyond defining.

I am with you always.

I am with you through all your trials and through all your joys. I am with you always. I am within you. In every experience you have and every hardship you endure, I am with you. I never leave you, yet I do not force my presence upon you. You have free will.

You can choose whether to accept me or deny me. It does not even matter if you do not believe in me. It does not even matter if you consider yourself unworthy; my love for you is constant.

I Love You Always

I love you. My love is all encompassing. Whether you accept me or not, I am with you always. My breath is the very air you breathe; my essence is in every cell of your body. I loved you before you took form. I love you always; regardless of the form you are in or not in.

You were formed by love, and to love you return.

Within my love, you find your existence. Your existence is an expression of my love. Thereby, knowing your very essence, your soul, and your existence, you know my love. I am love; therefore, you know me.

My love is energy so great that it may not be seen, but the effects of my love are visibly evident. My love for you is a zealous love, encompassing all.

Find yourself, and know your true self. I am the love you find. Know yourself as love. Know me.

Satisfaction

Many of you perceive yourselves to be individual beings disconnected to the rest of the world. You believe that you are born and you die, and this lifetime is for you to achieve your goals. These goals are to prove to the world that you are worth something. You also pursue them for your own satisfaction. These achievements may help to...
