"Let us imagine that you and I are role playing
and for the sake of thi discussion, you are talking to me, God."
"I am God. Now, as God, I have given you the
Natural Laws for a guideline in order to answer all of your questions.
There is no question you can ask me, that I will not answer. As a matter
of fact, as God, I will tell you that you also have the answer to any question
that you may ask.
"Why don't I know the answers to the questions?" you ask God.
"And, I will tell you that you do. What is preventing you from knowing the answers to these questions, is that you do not want to hear that the answe lie within you. When you do not hear, you are listening to the voice of fear."
"What do you mean fear, God?"
"I mean the fear of going against those voices which have told you that you cannot think for yourself. That's what I mean. And, believe me, I know. I am God. I know everything. Guess what! So do you, except that you're in denial, and I don't mean the river in Egypt."
(God has a sense of humor. If I did not, I would take Myself as seriously as you do, when you refuse Me out of fear of acknowledging that I created you in My image).
"Hello there, why aren't you laughing at My jokes?"
"Oh God, you have a sense of humor!"
"Of course, and when you are not afraid of not appearing like the rest of them, so do you. Humor is natural. Don't forget, I gave it to you for the purpose of balance and harmony. Without humor you couldn't tolerate yourself."
"Well, isn't fear natural?"
" Of course not. It's normal!'
" Normal! God, you say normal like the chicken pox. What's the matter with normal. I was taught that fear is normal. If people didn't fear, wher would we all be?"
"That's one of the most normal questions most of you who live in fear ask Of course it's normal and it isn't natural. That's what I said before. It isn't natural! It's normal."
"Oh God, you are really giving me a headache. I was taught to use the words normal and natural almost interchangeably. Now you're telling me they're not the same thing???"
"Right!"
"Well, if I'm not confusing myself even more than before we began this conversation would you please tell me your definition?"
"Not just My definition, THE definition. I am The Truth. Remember back if you will past layer upon layer of defensiveness to yourself as a baby, and then as a little child under the age of five."
"God, I can't remember. It's so vague and clouded with those layers of defensiveness. Well, what was I to do, just stand there and be attacked?? I had to protect myself from so many people as I was growing up. Naturally, I can't remember back to when I was a baby."
"That is normal, my dear, not natural."
"Oh God, please help me remember. I want to and I'm afraid I can't. I'm afraid I've lost my memories."
"That's what I have been saying to you over and
over. You are afraid and in your fear have attempted to heap up
layer upon layer of blankets to protect yourself
from fear. Your efforts to escape the experience of fear
have only intensified your fearfulness. You call
this natural. It is not. It is the epitome of fear. Fear attracts fear
and
you forget me and you forget how to love and
only call on me when you want something from me, forgetting that I am You.
You are Me. As you let fear go, you will remember Me and You will once
again be Natural. You will become one with
Nature, as I Am Nature. Is it becoming clearer?
Are you ready to remember what Natural means to you and how you have distorted
yourself in order to become Normal like the rest of them?"
"Oh God, I have lived in fear for most of my life and I hate it. Please help me remember what is Natural."
"As I said, Natural is what you were like as a baby, laughing, joyful, inquiring and spontaneous. You made your needs known clearly and did a good job about getting them met. As you grew older society taught you to be Normal. What that meant was that your laughter, inquisitive mind and joyfulness lost their spontaneity. You were taught that being loved and approved by others was more important than loving yourself. You were taught that God was disapproving of joy and approved of controlling others. You lost your way from Me and the truth that You and I are One. I love you. When you remember, at every moment, that I created you in My image and therefore You are perfect, you will have gone past fear. At that time, you will know that You are God and that every person is God. I have created You in my image and you are all God. When you remember this, fear will vanish and you will live naturally and as purely as a new born baby."
"I am beginning to remember a time when I was very tiny. I sparkled with the light of a twinkling star. I see a picture of me--------

October 1997
Hello, Ruth, remember me? I'm God.
Hello, God. I remember You. Why did I call on
you this time? I don't seem to remember. Although, I certainly remember
our last conversation, with You telling me that I have all the answers
to all of my questions. I still have a hard time accepting that. If I have
the answers to my questions, that means I choose whatever, I do and that
I am completely responsible for my
own actions. Oh, God! I am so tired and I have
made some lousy choices.
The reason you are hearing me now Ruth is that you have been complaining for a long time that you feel exhausted and unhappy. God, how is that you can hear me, when there are so many others in the world?
I hear everyone, my dear. The question is, what
prevents you from hearing My voice as I answer you? Why are you afraid
to slow down and take time for yourself and say, no, when you do not want
to do something. Oh, God, if I did that everyone would be angry with me.
Who would take care of my husband, children, and friends if I didn't? They
all come to me for
the answers.
Perhaps your husband, children and friends would learn to take care of themselves and turn to Me for help, instead of you? Do you remember the expression that some of your friends use, "Let go and Let God"?--- Ruth, you're not laughing, or even smiling. Did you forget that God has a sense of humor?
OK, God, it's funny when I say it to someone else.
Somehow it's not so funny when I have to start looking at myself.
Ruth, have I not told you that you have all of
the answers? Where else would you look for the reason you've pulled the
plug from your source of Infinite Energy, except within yourself? I am
God of the universe, however you are God in your universe.---Listen, my
dear, I will tell you about Infinite Energy.
Look God, is this another unreachable goal that will cause me to feel inadequate again? We hear theories that sound wonderful, and the only people who seem to achieve them are some wonder women, such as Martha Stewart.
I have heard you weeping exhausted at night, asking Me for more energy. You complain that you do not have enough energy to work or have fun. You cry that you feel burned out, and exhausted and you don't remember the last time that you felt happy.
God, I was taught to serve others, and that if I shirked my duty, I was selfish.
Did God tell you this Ruth? Of course not. I said
to you, love others as yourself. I am loving and compassionate. I have
given you Infinite Energy. You have created the circumstances you have
found yourself in for the purpose of learning the lessons that are necessary
to the growth of your emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual self.
Energy is a part of everything. Whatever thought, feeling or action you
have causes you to feel energized or depleted. If you have a loving thought,
you feel empowered, and you become energized and healed. If you complain
that you must take care of too many people and have no time to relax, then
you choose to feel exhausted. Can you think of a situation when you are
with people who are selfish, demanding and accusatory? You find your heart
rate going up, your blood pressure rising and your face flushing. I have
watched you many times as you wonder how you find yourself in these situations.
You must learn how to take care of yourself and encourage others to learn
to take care of themselves. This is not a simple task and takes a commitment
to consciousness and truth, with the understanding that you may not be
approved of by others for changing their familiar perception of you. These
actions
define your behavior at a higher level and immediately
generate much more energy and self-confidence both in yourself and in the
long term for the others. Infinite Energy is accessible to you at all times.
Balance and harmony in life are natural. It is when you forget this that
your problems begin. As you continue to hear My voice encouraging you to
balance your life through the harmony of love and truth you will automatically
access Infinite Energy.

November1997
Hello, Ruth. What seems to be the problem? You look as if you've lost something valuable and don't know where to find it.
Dear God, you? Here! You pop up in the most unexpected
places! I know, I know, you've told me you're always here, it's me, who
doesn't see you. I'm bored. God! I'm in a rut. I keep doing the same things
my mother did. She told me she was happy taking care of her family and
that was enough for her. But, it isn't enough for me. I don't know what
I want. Nothing I've
tried satisfies me. My husband thinks I'm losing
my mind when I ask, what's the meaning of my life. My children are almost
grown. After they're gone, what am I supposed to do? Is this all there
is to life? Be born, have birthdays and then die? Oh God, you've got to
help me cope with this.
Calm down, Ruth, I'll help you, even though I'm
last on the list of those you've asked for help.-- -Remember a summer day
when you were 5 years old. You were skipping along a path when you saw
a butterfly and you started chasing it. You were so happy that you didn't
want to come home. When your mother found you in the back yard you were
flapping your arms and
running around. You told her that you had turned
into a butterfly and wanted to be a butterfly when you were grown.
I remember, God. I never wanted to stop flying. For a little while, I became that beautiful butterfly -- What does that have to do with me being bored now?
At that moment, Ruth you were on a path that called to you and said, this is what I must do, I must fly like a butterfly. I was signaling to you that you were a unique human being who had a personal calling. That calling was the reason that you were born. You felt passion! You were passionately alive at that moment.
Dear God, what can I do to feel passionate and
alive again. I've lost that sense of wonder and joy. It's been so long
since I've felt that way. You also had an imaginary best friend, Ruth.
When you were with her you were never lonely. She encouraged you to explore,
read books and try exciting experiments. At those times you quivered with
passion and excitement. As you got older, you heard her voice much less
often, until eventually it disappeared. It was then that the passion and
excitement left
you and you became bored----That was my voice
you heard.
If I was so happy listening to you, God, why did I stop listening? How do I start to hear your voice encourage me again? If I listen will I then learn what my purpose is in this life? Why was my mother happy and why am I not?
Ruth, my dear, the parents you have, your body, the places you grew up and live in are no accident. They are the opportunity provided to you in order to help you find a direction and a purpose for your life. Think Ruth. Listen to My voice assuring you that you know what it is that you want to do. You know what causes passion and excitement in you. I have set Natural Law into motion to govern all that I have created. Everything follows an orderly path. There are no exceptions or miracles. You know about the Law of Cause and Effect. This law states that everyone is responsible as he creates a cause which results in an effect. You thought it was miraculous that you won a prize for writing. It was your application of the Law of Cause and Effect on which you focused your passion and excitement for writing. The effect was that you wrote a wonderful story which everyone loved, What do you think would happen if you told everyone you were a writer and spent all of your spare time writing? Do you think you would discover your passion again.? Or would you still feel bored?
Dear God! It's that easy?? Or that hard?? If I
say, I am a writer and feel passionate and excited about writing, that
means I may just start writing and never stop. Then what do I do about
my family and friends? Well, Ruth, as I've told you before, you have all
the answers. The choice between living passionately or existing in boredom
is yours. As always, God blesses you.
Thanksgiving is November 20th
by
Eleanor R. Fisher
Dear God! Where are you? You said that if I spoke
to you, you would hear me and talk to me. Well! What's keeping you? You
know patience is not my long suit. It's November and the holiday season
is coming. I have to be with my family and all of my relatives again. You
know I can't stand them and you know how nervous that makes me. Frazzle,
frazzle, frazzle. That's
what I look like inside and soon I will be tight
as a drum, and -- Oh God, here it is another Thanksgiving and what do I
have to be thankful about? In fact, what does anybody have to be thankful
about? I know, I know, I'm not supposed to complain so much. Well, how
about a little complaining, God? Doesn't everyone complain about something?
Hello Ruth. Of course I can hear you. You're right about one thing. Most people complain a lot. However, I don't listen much to complaints.You see complaints are useless, like emotional indigestion. People who complain keep repeating the same things over and over without realizing they're attracting other complainers to themselves. Complaining is expressing dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, criticism, and resentment. When you complain you keep telling the same tired story of your dissatisfaction. You grumble and whine. Now, I ask you, would you like to be in your company listening to your same, sad, old complaints? I tell you Ruth, you can be very boring telling the same tired story.
Oh, God, give me a break, please! How about if You answer just one question for me? I know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. My friend Debby said that her relatives are miserable to be with, especially at family gatherings. How come there are so many unhappy miserable people?
Really, Ruth, sometimes you make it so easy for
me! I know you have been studying Natural Law. Remember how I set things
up to govern all that has been created and that Natural Law is never set
aside, even for you at family gatherings? Let's briefly consider the Laws
of Attraction and Balance. Let me ask you a couple of questions, Ruth.
Think of past family gatherings at
your home. Remember how tense everyone was last
Thanksgiving, as if they were waiting for something upsetting to happen.
What was your part in this scene? Balance is a normal state. The unbalancing
of any situation causes negative reactions. Do you remember the year you
became so nervous about one more person coming to dinner that you kept
urging people to drink more
wine? Your aunt became angry at your uncle and
that upset the balance, almost causing you to have an anxiety attack?
God, are you telling me that it's my fault that my uncle drank too much wine and my aunt yelled at him and then yelled at me? I was just trying to be a gracious hostess. Do You blame me for being angry when Uncle John threw up in my living room?
Slow down Ruth. Don't be so defensive, I'm not through answering the 'one question you asked Me. If you want a pleasant Thanksgiving, or life, for that matter, you have to accept that it is by your actions that you create your circumstances. If you attract negative company, it is because you think of all the things that can go wrong and all of the things about peopleof which you disapprove. You create unhappy scripts in your mind, Ruth, and then like a movie director, you bring them to life.
Dear God, what about others' constant complaining? People talk about what's wrong with each other most of the time. Are you me telling that if I look forward to being with the people I'm with, I will be creating a good time for everyone!?
Yes, Ruth, When you accept people for what they
are and give up complaining, frazzle and resentment will leave your life.
You say you don't enjoy complaining. You say you're worn out. Did you ever
think that birds of a feather flock together? Do you want to be an old
crow cawing and complaining to all, or a beautiful songbird that people
love to be with? Like attracts like. You alone freely choose whether or
not balance and harmony are present in your life. When you regulate your
life, consciously
choosing harmony and balance, you will attract
songbirds at Thanksgiving. -- So, if you want to, have a happy Thanksgiving

My New Year Resolutions
Hello Ruth. I have come to wish you a happy and healthy new year. I especially want you to know that I have given you the consciousness to know that you will create 1998 exactly as you choose.
Hi God. What about the resolutions that I've made
in the past? How come I haven't been able to keep them. Remember my friend
Debbie? She sticks to her resolutions and does really well until she forgets
them. While we're talking, I'll tell you what Debbie and I decided to work
on together so we'll be able to help each other. We are each going to lose
fifteen pounds. Mywaist band is getting tight and I hate those clothes
with the stretch waistlines. Then, I will throw out all the things I have
packed away that I never use. Maybe I'll bring them to church for a rummage
sale? Debbie is going to keep her car clean and not use it for a waste
basket. Really, God, her car is a mess! How does that sound? I'm sure we'll
be able to keep our
resolutions.
Ruth, did you hear My New Year's wish for you?
Of course, God, I almost always listen to Your voice. Didn't You wish me a healthy and happy new year?
Surely you jest, Ruth! You listen to Me when it's
convenient for you. I thought I was the One with the sense of humor. Well,
I can always use a good laugh. Do you really want to create the high point
of your year to be losing weight, cleaning out your closets and keeping
your car clean? You complain to Me that you feel bored with no challenges
in your life. Yet, when it
comes to the most exciting challenge of all,
that of creating your life exactly as you want it, you do not pay any attention
to My voice.
Dear God, I thought you were saying something that just sounded good. Are you saying that if I listen to you, you will create 1998 as a miracle for me? What about my friend Debbie?
Ruth, people perceive God as good when they are
following the Natural Laws. You create whatever happens to you. There are
no miracles. You do not understand that when you are living in accordance
with the Laws things go well for you. As you live by My laws, you will
come to recognize that you may do whatever you desire. Every action has
an opposite and equal
reaction. If you do not like the outcome of your
actions, you are free to choose another action, and then another until
eventually you understand that your actions alone determine the responses.
Natural law has no loop holes.
Dear God, what's wrong with me having smaller goals for this year rather than attempting to create something that sounds so overwhelming? I'm not even sure I know what You're talking about. What exactly do You mean? Please give me some examples. You know what a slow learner I am.
Ruth, My dear child, sometimes you give yourself
a hard time about focusing on one thing at a time and then you feel overwhelmed
and forget how to think logically. Remember back to last week. You and
Debbie went to the movies
and about half way through you knew you did not
like the film. So, what did you two do? You stayed through it and as you
left you complained about wasting seven dollars for each ticket. The movie
you did not like is similar to the way you are living your life. You write,
produce, direct and act and are the spectator of your life script. Yet
you do not consider creating a new life script that you would like.
Oh God. Are You telling me that my life is like a B movie and I can write an A script? I can just see my new company, Ruth and Debbie, Movie Producers of Excellent Life Scripts!! So, how am I supposed to do that? And, you're telling me there are no miracles? Ha! Ruth, I have created the Law of Desirability for the purpose of enabling people to expand their awareness and attain wisdom. I know that you want to understand that there is more to your life than losing weight. As you listen to My voice, I will help you to expand your mind so you will begin to direct your thoughts and energy towards directing your life rather than feeling that you are powerless. My dear, you are the writer, producer and director of your life script. Don't forget, Ruth, there's no business like show business! Happy New Year.

MARCH 1998
Hello God. Last week I was wondering when I would finally stop complainin and start living consciously. In our unfoldment class we talk about changing the inevitable. It takes a great deal of motivation and discipline to do what you're supposed to do and I'm not sure I have the energy ---Oh yes, I better tell You what I'm talking about. On second thought, why bother? After all, You can read my mind.
Hello Ruth. Yes, I can read your mind. However, I am more interested in helping you to heal your heart so that you may live consciously and happily. I have given you the physical world as your classroom so that while you are here you may develop your wonderful gifts.
Yes, God. I know all that. Let's talk about me
developing a happy heart! You know that I'm divorced and lonely. Somehow
none of the men you've sent my way have been right. I've been practicing
what You advised me since we last talked. I've almost completely given
up criticizing people. I even appreciate Sally, who annoys me. There is
definitely something to be
learned from her. I just have to concentrate
and understand what she has to teach me.
You're right Ruth, you are developing. However,
there is more for you to do before you attract your soul mate. The Law
of Attraction is considered magnetic in nature where two like objects attract
each other. The religion of Spiritualism teaches you that you have the
choice to create yourself as a woman who lives at a higher level of vibration.
If your thoughts are of a
higher level, men who come from a higher vibration
will be attracted to you.
Dear God, more!? I thought I was doing everything You told me to do and I was just waiting for you to send me the perfect partner.
Now Ruth, we both agree that patience is not your
strongest suit. In the Spirit world we do not use watches. Try to be patient
a little longer, and I will tell you a story. In the country of Tibet,
on the top of Mount Everest, the natives call the place where the female
eagle lives, Tumolo. To reach the top of Mount Everest and see the nest
where Tumolo lives takes a great deal of effort and commitment. Sometimes
the wind up high is so fierce you can barely move. The jet stream at over
3,000 feet is fierce and
listening to the 100 to 120 mile-per-hour wind
can be frightening and demoralizing. The searing cold is always there.
Sometimes, at midday, with the intense sun and no wind or cloud cover,
you are in a reflector-like oven. It is the only place on Everest where
I have seen strong climbers unable to move. Those brave men and women who
climb to the top find joy at seeing a sunrise at the roof of their world.
They are drawn to the challenge of the hardship. They are not satisfied
by living a life complaining that opportunities do not come to them. They
create their opportunities and endure the training necessary to ascend
to the highest altitudes.
Dear God, are you telling me that now I have to go into training for high altitude climbing in order to find my soul mate? I live in Boston. I don't want to travel to Tibet. It's too hard to develop a long distance relationship between Boston and Tibet! ---Wait a minute! I think I understand. You keep telling me that I have the freedom to change any situation that appears inevitable, such as despairing of ever finding my soul mate.
I've learned that my thoughts are actions and that they are either positive or negative. I now see myself committed to a life of self development, clarity about my goals and pursuing my highest ideals. I will never doubt that You are with me helping me to attract my beloved. I can also go into training in order to be able to conquer my Everest and see the brilliant dawn of my new days.
Yes, Ruth. I see that you do understand My story
about climbing the heights of Mount Everest. In the heart of every human
being is the potential for limitless development. Evolution depends in
great part on how much you desire to find your own Tumolo. I am delighted
that you are able to receive My communication to inspire your mind to enlarge
your vision and mentality
so you may understand matters that were previously
outside your knowledge. Be at peace My dear, your beloved is on his way
to your side.

April 1998
Dear God, I haven't prayed for many years. I'm not even sure if you'll hear my prayers or remember me. Most of the people I know would be amazed if they knew I was praying to you. Everyone thinks I've got it all together and that I have no problems. When I was a child I learned that You were merciful, loving and that You could see into my heart and soul. My innocence left me when I was so young -- Oh well, I don't even know why I'm praying, except that I have no where else to turn . Are you here, God? Can You help me figure out what's wrong with my life?
Hello David. I hear you. It is you who have turned your face away from Me and forgotten that My love is eternal. I welcome your voice and once again offer you My hand as I have always done. Open your mind to Me, David, and tell Me what is troubling you. There is all the time in the Universe -- On the spirit plane, My angels and guides do not wear watches!
Dear God! Are You cracking jokes? I thought You were always serious.
David, I am not sure you would believe how many of My children do not know that God has a sense of humor. You remind me of one of My daughters, a woman named Ruth. She kept attempting to argue with me for years. She felt very dissatisfied with her life, as well. Just start talking, My son. When you talk to Me, that is praying.
Oh God, this praying is going to take some getting
used to! Recently, I realized that I'm afraid of women. Now, I don't mean
that I don't like them. I do. It's just that I don't know what women want.
I've never been able to figure them out! I'm sure You've heard that before.
All the men I talk to say the same thing. You know that I've been married
before, and that was a disaster. I have two children and I love them, yet
I don't just want to be a father. I'm in my middle years and I want a loving
relationship with a woman I can feel safe with
and trust. My father and mother were unhappy in their marriage. My brothers
and sisters have all divorced at least once. I don't want to have one girlfriend
after another. That's no fun anymore. What I really want is to have a relationship
where love and honesty go hand in hand. I don't want women to feel unsafe
with me and I don't want to feel unsafe, either.
I understand David. Perhaps if you begin talking
about the one thing that you are most afraid of, you will begin to understand.
Do not worry. I will respond to you. All of your answers are accessible,
both through conversation with Me and within yourself. OK, God. I'll try.
I just have to remember that when I talk to You I'm praying. The thing
I'm most afraid of is getting hurt. That may sound weird to You, since
I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 190 pounds. I don't mean I'm afraid of a woman
coming after me with a baseball bat. I mean if I open myself up and become
vulnerable, a woman will find my weak points, and take
advantage of me. If I protect myself and don't
open up then no woman will know what a nice guy I am. I feel so confused,
that I'm not sure who or what I am. So, what's the answer, God?
If you remember David, I said that all of the
answers await you. I will help you understand your dilemma. However, first
I would like to begin to educate you about My Natural Laws. These laws
are perfect and govern all of creation, both the physical and spiritual
sides of life. Natural law are the rules that give you evidence of your
behavior. For instance like attracts
like. When you are critical, you attract critical
people to you.
Dear God, it sounds like You're describing most of the relationships I've had during my life!
Yes, David. That is true. My suggestion to you is that you think of what causes you to feel critical and how that may have influenced your finding the right woman. Do not forget that when you speak to Me, you are praying.
by
Eleanor R. Fisher
May 1998
Hello God. I've gotten into the habit of talking to You more often now. I remember You saying that when I speak to You, I'm praying. Sometimes, it seems as if I'm just talking to myself. I'm beginning to listen to what I ask You and I often feel confused! Oh, excuse me-- I forgot to ask how You are. I didn't mean to be rude. I know, I know, I've taken You for granted, just like a lot of people do.
Thank you, David. I appreciate your asking about Me, and that you consider how your actions affect God. For eons I have attempted to teach people that I am a part of all of that I have created in the universe.
Dear God, I don't think of things like that. I'm too busy trying to cope with my life as it is. If you're a part of all that is in the universe then, that means you are a part of me, too. Could I just ask you a couple of questions, and then think about You being a part of everything a little later?
Certainly, David. I have all of the time in the universe. What would you like to ask me?
Oh, God, I forgot that You have a sense of humor.
I guess that means if You are a part of every human being, You're also
a part of me. Maybe that means I better start lightening up. That's what
my last girlfriend told me when we broke up. She said that I was too critical,
took myself too seriously and didn't see the humor in anything. All my
men friends say they don't
understand what women want. It seems that no
man has ever been able to understand how to communicate with a woman and
make her happy! So, how can I? What I really want to know is how You can
understand the points of view of both men and women and help them to understand
each other?
Those are wonderful questions, David. I have given you the wisdom to recognize the age old questions that people have asked since the beginning of time. Among the most important questions are that of the individual's purpose in life and their ability to develop their potential. You are just beginning to understand that you must have balance and harmony in your life or you will never feel fulfilled. There is no mystery about how to make women happy. Human beings all want the same things, David. They want to feel understood, listened to, accepted and loved for who they are. If you criticize a woman for not being like a man, find fault with the way she lives, are impatient and insensitive to her problems, do you think that any woman would want to be with you? Is it possible that you have been critical of the differences in women, because you fear being in a loving relationship. Certainly, the way the world is today, with war among countries and people this is a more familiar scene than is love as a way of life.
Dear God, you make it seem so easy! I've been taught that men and women are different. There are many books that talk about how men and women differ and how to get along in spite of their differences. They all seem like more games to play. I don't want to be a part of a relationship where I have to try to get someone to do something she doesn't want to do. Are You telling me that all I need to do is treat a woman the way I want to be treated, give up criticizing her, accept her differences and then I'll find the woman of my dreams?
Yes, David. Those concepts are the foundation for any successful relationship.
Well, God. You're probably right. I'm exhausted, just thinking about all of that. How about if I just start with asking women what they want and listening to what they say without being critical?
That sounds wonderful, David. You will then find
yourself on your journey to much more self understanding and gratification.
The law of attraction states that as you develop spiritually, you will
select the company of those with whom you have like understandings. As
in nature, nothing passes from one state to another without passing through
all the intermediate stages of
existence. As you evolve to a higher vibration,
remember, that the right woman awaits you.

Hello God. The last time we talked, I asked you
the question, 'what do women want.' You said that men and women want the
same things. When I told my friend Chris about that he laughed and said,
good luck, women don't tell you what they want. They just want men to listen
to how they feel. He said he tries to tell women what to do all the time.
Instead of being grateful,
they get mad. Go figure it out. I can't. What
do You think about that?
Hello David. It sounds to Me as if both you and your friend Chris have the same problems and ideas about women. When I remember your father, he also felt that he did not understand your mother. He certainly loved her. However, he would say, "Can't live with them and can't live without them."
It appears that the apple has not fallen far from the tree.
Dear God, that's exactly what I've been saying! I did promise You that I would really listen to what women had to say. The first woman I became interested in was someone I met while I was walking along the beach. I was sketching pictures of the rocks and waves and I suddenly saw her as she stood up from behind a large rock. She appeared so unexpectedly that for a minute I thought she was a mermaid. She was beautiful. Then I thought, what is a mermaid doing on the sand behind rocks? Mermaids live in the ocean. As I continued looking at her, I saw that she was searching for shells and sea glass. I remembered our conversation and I knew that I wanted to talk to her.
That sounds very exciting David. What was it about her that caused you to remember our conversation?
It wasn't about her, God. It was about me and what You promised me. It was that You would help me find the right woman to love and that she was looking for me as well. It was as if time had come to a standstill. I remembered everything that You and I had talked about. Then I looked at her and smiled and she smiled back at me and I thought to myself, God told me I'd find her. Then I said, "Thank you God." Next, I said, 'Hi, my name is David. I'm sketching pictures of the beach. May I draw you while you're sitting on the sand looking for shells?" You know God, she didn't even seem surprised by my request. She asked to see my pictures. When I showed my pictures to her, she appeared very interested and said how much she liked them. Then she said. It's nice to meet you, David. I'd love to have you sketch me on the beach. My name is Ruth."
You are experiencing the results of what you have
created, David. As we have talked about Natural Law, I have begun to teach
you that the law behind all laws is the Law of Life. This law gives expression
and existence to everything else. It is the controlling force of the relationship
between man and God. When you remember Me telling you that all people want
to be
appreciated for what they are, you are expressing
My power within your thoughts and actions. Of course Ruth would respond
to you as she did. She is My daughter and you are My son, both born with
the ability to love and beloved.
Well, God, I'm stunned! I really felt your presence with me on the beach when I first met Ruth. Actually, I didn't get around to asking her what women want, or any of those questions. They seemed out of place. I didn't want her to think that I was taking a survey. I didn't have to pretend to be interested in her, I was. I wanted to get to know her. She didn't think I was giving her a line, either. You know, she looked right into my eyes and listened to me and asked me about myself. Guess what, God. She lives about 3 miles from here. And, she said she'd meet me for coffee on Saturday and we could talk more. You knew that. Thank you God. I'll talk to You later and let You know what's happening-- That's a joke, God. I beginning to know you're always with me.
Dear God ; Thank You for Answering our Prayers

Hello, God. I want to thank you for answering
our prayers. In six weeks David and I will have been married for a full
year. My eyes are beginning to fill with tears as I speak to You. You caused
my faith to be rekindled after You brought David and I together at the
beach for our first meeting. He is such a wonderful, conscious human being.
You alone knew how empty I
felt and how often I wondered if I would ever
find my soul mate. As we came to know one another, most of my doubts disappeared
and I kept hearing Your voice say to me, "Have faith, Ruth, he is not what
you thought you wanted. However he is perfect for you." Dear God, as each
day has passed, I learn more about how perfect he is for me, and how perfect
I am for him.
Yes, Ruth. I have blessed you, in the same way that I have blessed all of My children. You have come to understand that there are no miracles. You did not discover David. He did not discover you. You chose to evolve to a higher vibration, recognizing the Law of Cause and Effect. This law demands that each person be solely responsible for creating the cause that results in an effect. David and you chose to create yourselves in My image guided by the Law of Life, called God's Law. As you adjusted yourselves to higher vibrations, you manifested the Law of Attraction where on the spiritual plane creations of similar vibrations tend to be attracted to each other. Believe Me! It was no miracle that you were attracted to one another.
Hello God, David here. Yes, I know You know who I am. I want to join in this conversation with Ruth, to thank You for bringing us together. We feel very lucky that from the countless prayers that You hear you chose to answer us and brought us together. I often ask Ruth, "Can you imagine if someone rolled the dice from the beginning of time, what would be the chance of us meeting? I bet they couldn't even figure those odds at the track! I'm sure it was God who caused me to move from Canada to Lynn, and for both of us to be at the beach at the same time.
You are most welcome, David, My child. How has your first year been? Are there any problems you both wish to discuss with Me?
This has been the most wonderful year of my life. When we were married last Summer, we knew that we were consecrating our vows in a temple of healing and love--We don't have any problems. However, I do have one question, God How do I keep my wife happy? It's not as simple as it sounds. I've learned that she's a wonderful, loving and generous person. But, dear God, is she complicated?! For instance, with Ruth, one question leads to another. Her middle name is Curiosity. You know me, God. I take things at face value. She also tells me that sometimes I'm impatient and that I yell. I don't yell. I just use a louder voice than she likes. I ask You, is that yelling? When something concerns Ruth, she wants to keep talking about it. I get exhausted trying to solve her problems.
Dear God, I keep telling David that he doesn't have to do anything. I just likes to hear his opinions. Why do men think that they have to solve problems? Why does he have to raise his voice? I can hear him when he speaks quietly.
Well, David, it sounds like you and Ruth are exactly
where you are supposed to be in this first year of your marriage. You have
discovered that you are united in love with the goal of mutual healing.
I have given you the opportunity to learn that you are unique individuals
with ways of relating. Neither of you needs to be right or wrong. Everytime
you see Ruth's purity of soul, she will see your loving soul and respond
in kind. Remember the Law of Cause and Effect. Do not create Ruth as someone
for whose happiness you are responsible. Enjoy and appreciate her for what
she is and let her do the same. As you love and celebrate your marriage,
letting its glow radiate to the world at large, God blesses you and says,
"Thus you will both
be happy for the rest of your days."
