More from Kirsten

The topics of idols, life, death, the purpose that I give everything in form are so clear. Wow. As Jacqui (my mother) would say, "a light bulb moment".
I realize that the idols that I have selected to keep me from heaven now involve the future. I have stopped myself from immersing totally in the present moment because I might be sacrificing my future idols, which aren't even real. How insane.

Answer: Idols are images made to block the awareness of Gods love. Seek happiness in them and you turn away from God. You choose death over life.

Questioner: Could you talk about "every living thing contains all
there is" from the text?

Answer: "Every living thing contains all there is" is a metaphor for God Is. God is all there is and you are complete and whole within God. You contain all there is as does every living
thing because God is infinite, God is everything everywhere.

Questioner: But it has nothing to do with form? When I think of "every living thing" I think of people, animals, nature etc. But those are images, thoughts that I have given reality, they
do not contain life within themselves…

Answer: Think of all that you see as being unified, a tapestry of moving, colored images. Seek not for heaven within the images that appear to be outside of you.

Questioner: The text says idols are nothing, nowhere, and God is everywhere. I'm reminded of the lesson "these thoughts are images I have made"… I feel myself turning inward more and more, not trying to figure out the world and make it all fit together in a way
that makes sense.

Answer: This world does not make sense. Turning inward is turning to God, turning away from the world to peace.

Questioner: Thank you for this message of love. I feel safe in the knowledge that love, happiness, peace, all that I have ever sought and wanted is within me.
