Max, the messiah?

The little Messiah.
Seems strange to give a baby that much responsibility--to be my personal messiah, yet it's the only way that I can describe my violent internal transformation. Prior to Max's arrival, I had been asking divine intervention to show my proof of God's existence in my life. Notice that I said, in my life, not anyone else's.

The reason that I know that I have been touched by the Holy spirit is because I'm not trying to convert anyone else to my point of view. I found God through a new found faith in Jesus Christ and I can't tell anyone about it because they wouldn't understand. Nor can I expect that any religion would share my passion and excitement for what I've found for myself.

I keep saying myself because that's now how I see the world and the universe, for that matter. I see the universe as one massive illusion that is completely seperate from God. To me the material world that I now know to "feel" real is nothing but an opportunity to practice forgiveness and thus, expressed as salvation.

It's difficult not to allow myself to carried away with this new found feeling of faith and salvation. And it's also difficult to not attach this much credit to a baby that is not even here yet.

On earth as it is in heaven.
I understand now what is meant in the Lord's Prayer the term, "on earth as it is in heaven". In other words, earth and heaven are indeed one. One unified energy that I can equate to every ancient philosophy that I understand. I feel that duality does exist on the material plane but only as a teaching tool to facilitate union with God--the Holy spirit.

I also understand the reason for unconditional faith and reverence to God because it only makes logical sense--who else is there. You can say to yourself, "If not God, then who?" It's a self-answering question because God is in us and we are God--in union. To not believe in God is to not believe in yourself and that doesn't make sense.

God is perfect.
Because God is perfect, we mortal humans also have the capability for perfect forgiveness. Buddha showed us "how" to forgive, Jesus gave us an example and now it's up to us to make it hapen.
