A few weeks ago I received an invitation from Laura Berry, a Facebook friend, to write a poem about humility and the way to God. Here is what she wrote:
A Journey To Humility
Hi all, I have been wanting to do this for about 6 months, and It feels like a stronger desire now, I would like to put together an anthology of poems that are about yours/our journeys to humility and in relation to God, I want this anthology to be a safe place people can talk about God and express their feelings and what they have learned (hopefully the uplifting aspects). This can include any experience, revelations, moments on your journeys where you have felt humbled or surrendered to your emotions and the benefits and beauty of that. God is allowed to be included 🙂
I would like to collect as many as possible in the next coming year, and will then collaborate them all into a pdf, book, for free distribution. Anyone can share it or put it on their blogs etc. All I ask is for honesty and love to go into your work. Poems or prose, and to keep it in theme and on the topic of humility. length doesn’t matter, 4 lines, or two pages. Rhyming or non rhyming. Experience doesn’t matter. Nor how many you wish to submit, the more the merrier. But I would like those contributing to be open to God and the teaching of the divine love and who see it as a positive and beautiful thing.
The intention is to create a free book that uplifts people into the beauty of humility and helps open souls to this quality and helps people see the positive value of humility in all our lives.
It is an experiment, labour of love and a service. <3
But hopefully a beautiful book will be created at the end of it and as I have found writing poems, helps me grow my soul in the area it is about too, so there may be personal benefits in writing the poems or prose.
If any one is interested, If they could IM me on fb, or email me at guitartist@live.co.uk with the poem or prose, email titled Humility Poem, email address and your name, also any blog or website I can credit the authors with, listed at the end of the book.
When the book is ready for distribution, I will email you and send you all the pdf, which you can add to blogs, pass to people interested as you wish.
At the moment it will be unillustrated, unless an illustrator comes forth.
If there aren’t many poems will still produce a mini one. The book will be called ´A Journey To Humility´ to help keep people in theme, and it conveys the intention of the book.
Hopefully a positive book about the topic of humility and God will be the end result. 🙂<3
(Also if you have any suggestions let me know, this is a project and I want it to be loving.)
Here is what I finally wrote and sent back to Laura, it is about the Greatest Experiment, and how I discovered God through sincere prayer.
“The Greatest Experiment
God was not real for me before then.
It was just a
human invention.
This was what
my parents told me.
I said no
words.
But inside, I
was questioning it.
How do they
know?
I started a
quest for healing and truth when I turned 40.
Not focused
on God.
I just wanted
to know the truth about me,
And
everything.
Life did not
make any sense to me,
Living eighty
years, and then dying in pain and suffering.
How can that
be just the end of the story?
I wanted to
know who I am and why am I here,
And what
happens after I die,
And the truth
about all the questions,
That never got
answered when I was a child.
After about 4
years of this quest,
And many discoveries,
That never
fully satisfied my curiosity,
I got given the
prayer for Divine Love,
That Jesus
wrote in the first century,
I learned and
recited by heart the prayer,
I prayed many
times a day,
Every day for
40 days.
I was sitting
there, waiting.
In vain.
There was no
answer.
Then, thanks
to my teacher from then,
I found a
link to the Divine Truth YouTube channel.
I started
watching the Secrets of the universe video,
And many
other teachings about God, and the human soul too.
I felt very
emotional and moved.
I cried a lot.
I did not
understand what was happening to me.
I was
mesmerized.
I could not
help but keep watching more and more videos,
Days and
nights.
As I kept experiencing
about praying,
One day,
All of a
sudden,
There was a
moment where everything changed in my life.
That moment,
I wanted to know so strongly.
That moment,
my heart was open to feel the truth.
That moment,
I was humble to feel my emotions.
That moment,
I was open to feel loved.
That moment,
my prayer was personal and emotional and felt like this,
God, I don’t
believe You are real, but,
If You really
exist and have Love for me,
Please let me
feel it now.
An intense and
powerful flow of energy entered my heart.
I started crying
loud like a baby.
I fell in
tears onto my knees and asked,
Why have You
ignored me all these years?
Why have you
never been present when I needed you?
I felt immediately
another flow of energy entering me as an answer,
I have always
been there with you,
It is You
that have closed your heart to Me.
God got me by
surprise.
I lost any
notion of time and space.
I felt
extremely safe for the first time in my life,
Although soft
and vulnerable like a baby.
A feeling of
fearlessness,
That nothing
bad can happen.
After a
while,
I became afraid
to be so emotional,
Out of
control,
I closed my
heart and feelings again.
God was gone.
I fell profoundly
asleep.
Since that
day, I knew for sure,
I have a
Father that loves me.
God is always
there for me.
It is up to me
to get into a condition of sincerity and openness,
To truly
desire, feel and hear God.
The following
days and weeks I kept praying.
But God did
not answer me.
I tried
harder and harder.
It was like
he deserted me again.
My prayer was
not sincere.
Spirits came
and connected to me.
I had
thoughts and felt emotions,
That I believed
to be God’s and mine.
But there was
not the same soft and gentle presence.
Not an
overwhelming quality of Love entering me.
Over time, I
learned to discern between God and spirits.
They are just
human that once lived on earth and have passed.
Then, one
day, I connected to God again.
My prayer was
sincere.
And I felt
loved again.
How foolish
am I to stay closed to such a beautiful and generous being?
I realized
how I missed God and desired Him in my life.
God is the
best Parent and Friend,
The best Teacher
of Love.
God is
waiting for you to open your heart.
You do not need a book to know, Only to personally engage the Greatest Experiment.”
Then, I shared a second part I called “God is the solution”, about how important and challenging it is to develop a true relationship with God, and how much sincerity and humility you need therefore, and what I learned about this experiment over 7 years :
“God is the solution
Over the
years, I started having a bit more experience with prayer.
I learned to
know what a sincere prayer entails.
God always
answers instantaneously a sincere prayer.
When I do not
feel God’s answer,
I know it is
not God’s desire to let me down.
It is always
my lack of sincere desire that blocks the communication.
Now, I know
God is my Mother too.
It is even
harder for me to connect to Her.
Because of my
unhealed relationship with my earthly mother.
My desire for
Her is insincere.
God is
helping me to heal my relationship with the opposite gender and my partner.
God is
helping me to open my heart.
God is
helping me to become softer and emotionally humble like a child.
God is
helping me to become more sensitive to my pain when I break God’s laws of love.
God is
helping me to feel more love for others, nature and all creatures.
God is
helping me to discover all my unhealed emotions,
Rage and
anger, fear and sadness, guilt and shame,
So, I can
feel and release them,
And get free
of pain and suffering.
God is
helping me to feel how I lack love for self
God is
helping me to feel how I am addicted to others liking me.
God has
helped me to meet Alan John Miller,
Who claims to
be Jesus of the Bible.
Jesus says he
reincarnated on Earth
With 13 other
people from the highest heavens.
Jesus lives
in Australia, and teach about having a personal relationship with God.
It is thanks
to Jesus that I got to discover God.
Jesus says
God’s Love transforms the soul into a Divine angel.
Jesus teaches
he was the first Divine angel in the first Century,
And that we
can all become a Divine angel.
You, me,
everybody.
You just need
to desire it.
A Divine
angel has no fear.
Only love and
joy.
A Divine
angle is immortal,
And may grow
his soul and receive new abilities,
Forever.
This is
because of God’s Love.
Without God’s
Love,
Even a human
soul perfected in natural love is mortal,
And limited
in growth and abilities,
Forever.
One must
first forgive all the people who harmed them in their life,
And repent
for all the people and things they harmed in their life,
Including how
they treated God,
Before they
ever can become a Divine angel.
This must be
done according to God’s definition of love and harm,
Not men’s
definition of love that is incorrect.
Now, I know
God is real and loving.
God is not
the rageful God of the Bible that men created.
God is a God
of Love, Truth, Tenderness, Power, Abundance and Creativity.
God taught me
many things.
God made me
feel all people are really my brothers and sisters.
God made me
feel my earthly parents were just care takers,
God is my
true parents who created my soul.
God made me
feel I have a soulmate who is the other halve of my soul.
God made me
feel everybody can become a Divine angel like Jesus teaches, even myself.
God’s Love is
amazing.
It gives
faith that everything is well,
Even through
the dark night of healing the soul.
Discovering
and loving God is a great idea.
This is the
best way to go.
It does not
matter what others might believe.
If they do
not know or believe in God,
It is just
because they have not engaged the Greatest Experiment yet.
Everybody
must know that God’s Love is waiting for them.
God wants to
have a relationship with each and every one of Her children.
God’s Love is
the solution for changing the world,
Into a loving
place of one single family,
Caring for self, others and the environment. “
