Q. The 'Logo' has become very commercial today

Q. The 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo Logo]' has become very [[commercial]] today
   −
I am aware. The Name God has become quite commercial, has it not? Even the Bible is the same. People use the word 'Bible' when they refer to anything. The do not mean 'The Holy Bible'. Some say 'God', they are not speaking of which you and I speak. People say the word 'Light', but they are not speaking of that which we speak. Some speak of 'Love', they are not speaking of the Love you and I speak. Some speak of 'Power and Glory'. Some chant names. Over usage is not good.

Our way of teaching would not suit some. They would find it too simple. You see, in the days of old, when the Bible was written, a man would sit on the ground.Other people, children, women, would come and sit by.He would tell them a story, he would entertain them. They did not have books. They did not have television, movie theatres. They had simplicity.The words they listened to were words of God. Which is how you are now with me. I am an old man sitting on the ground, telling you stories of God. I do not mean fairy stories, but it is the old way.It is the correct way. We do not need to stand on a platform and wave our hands around, and shout. There is no need for that. Simplicity, that is important.

The Bible was written by men who had received knowledge. It had been passed from mouth to mouth, in the spoken word. When the Bible was written therefore, it was often written a long time between the spoken word and the written word. Things were distorted, mis-represented, and, mis-understood. The Truth was also hidden in pictures, word pictures.

   −
The art of conversation, of teaching in this method, has long past. It is a sad thing that people rely on the written word. Information, knowledge through legends, stories and the Truth, used to be passed mouth to mouth. Long before, it was mind to mind. At the present time we are returning mouth to mouth.

What would you know? I am old in your years . . . . thousands. I have not incarnated in a physical form for thousands of years. I do not envisage incarnating in the physical form in the future, but, who knows? God may need me to.

Abraham was my name in my last incarnation, therefore, although I am not known as Abraham here, there is no need for names, you are used to calling each other by name, therefore you have mine. You are aware that I am 'of the consciousness' of the Abraham that is in the Bible.

Q. The Man who almost [[sacrificed]] his son to [[God]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.22]
   −
Yes. That is symbolic, of course. That is giving up that which is close to you, and in the doing, realising, that it is not yours to give. That was my lesson. Also, that it was not God. In that I mean that God would not ask that of me. God knows that the child was not mine to give. A child does not, belong to a parent.

Q. Is there more you can tell us.

Q. Are Light and Consciousness, in essence, the basis of all things?

Q. Are [[Light]] and [[Consciousness]], in [[essence]], the basis of all things?
   −
It encompasses 'all things'. It should be the basis but, unfortunate it is, that for many it does not exist. The Light, the Supreme Consciousness is God, and that God resides within each, but some have darkened it, so it is not the basis for their existence.

Each particle of dust etc., are Souls.They are your Essential Essence, the Life Force, just as the blood and heart in your physical body is your Life Force on the physical plane. Not forgetting, the Brain. Now, in the shaft of light, are there not some dust, waves etc. at the bottom, some in the middle, some at the top, and all those in between. Think on . . . The higher to the top, the brighter the light, the more intense the light.The closer to the bottom, the darker and the wider. There are more down there than at the top.

Continue to think on . . . In each shaft of light, each dust, wave, colour, sound, is separate from each other but all within the shaft of light. Some may nudge each other, some may touch and attach to each other, some remain isolated. Your Soul is your Soul is your Soul. It is very difficult to explain. Even in between incarnations you are not as you are now. You do not think as you are now. There is NO thought. It is extremely difficult. It is as in meditation. Perhaps will help you.
