Presenter: Dick Stetler – June 2021 Does anyone want to live a life that remains
invisible to the rest of the world’s people? If so, where are they?
What a question and what an obvious answer.
Why look for what chooses to remain invisible particularly if
that being is what we call God? Let us find out what the masses want,
think, and believe. A friend of mine gave me the lyrics to the chorus
of a song that appeared to summarize what is happening in many places in
our society: No one wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus.
Everyone wants to be the lead singer of the band.
It’s hard to get a bead on what's divine when everyone is pushing
for the head of the line. I don't think it's working out at all the way
he planned.
A number of us may remember when American Idol started drawing
contestants to its competition on June 11, 2002.
The first Idol was Kelly Clarkson.
The lines of wannabe-stars
of young people stretched for quite a distance.
These lines only grew longer with the passing of time.
A quick review of the winners gives a testimony to the irony of
how fame can be a fleeting event in people’s lives.
Many people want to be recognized.
They want to fit into the in-crowd and be known and
respected. They need and
want to be unique, special, and well-liked.
They enjoy the cameras and the red-carpet treatment. Who
wants to live an invisible, unrecognized life that simply slides into
obscurity without anyone knowing their name?
This experience happens to billions of people during their
life-time.
Politicians hope their legacy as a leader will stand the test of time.
Some of them pass the test and make it into the history books.
However, many of the standard-bearers of American culture and
values are being cancelled today because a newer generation has
found a flaw in their character.
On some occasions, their statues have been toppled and desecrated
because the people those monuments represented stood for values that
differed from those who guard our modern moods and attitudes. Again,
fame can be a fleeting event today due to our entrance into a new phase
in the development of American culture.
We have to remember as spirits of another land that
Socrates was forced to drink hemlock and Jesus was silenced by nails
that pierced his flesh while being driven into wood in the shape of a
Roman execution device. In
fact, historically a number of people, who dared to write or speak words
that were different from the prevailing orthodoxy in the social climate,
were eliminated.
Women whose evil words were even rumored as being spoken were
declared to be witches, heretics, and found worthy of being put to death
by a righteous tribunal.
Even speaking the truth was often cited as the cause of
their lives being removed from societies.
Nothing has changed in the present but the names and characters
of the actors, even when freedom of speech is guaranteed as the
rule of law. Today,
dominant industries have become co-conspirators in silencing people who
refuse to comply to the values and creeds of the ruling elite.
As has been noted in a number of earlier messages, the Creator of the
universe has no need to be associated with being The Creator.
What we think about God does not matter to such a being.
God has no ego and has no desire to be recognized, praised, or
worshipped. The Creator does not care if anyone believes in the
existence of such a core of loving energy or not.
Of course, society’s religions would be opposed to such a notion.
The spirit of our Creator is not visible in our senses.
And that invisible mass of energy does not represent a variable
for human beings because their coming into physical form was strictly a
choice that each made in another reality to check the pulse of
their spiritual awareness and level of skill.
There is no need in most people to seek an ultimate, supreme
being. On our own, can we choose
to be kind, compassionate, generous, and carry ourselves with loving
attitudes. All such qualities are part of the potential of each of us.
We can make the choice to develop them not because this is believed by
some to be God’s Will but because people may decide that this is
the spirit they wish to display.
How far can people go to feed hungry people in the world by developing
hybrid seeds that grow in drought-stricken climates?
How far can we stretch our abilities toward producing consistent,
highly efficient sources of energy that do not harm our environment or
feed the fears of modern-day climate change enthusiasts?
If, indeed, everything we need is within us, how long before we can
create the future without wanting to capture the market share or growing
wealthy by financially capitalizing on our creativity?
If we create a super product,
are we willing to give it away?
When will our personal financial wealth be enough that we feel
secure in giving our idea to those who can develop and market it as
their own?
Perhaps we will realize that to those who have, will be given more.
So far, no one has successfully put an accurate price on the
ability to use clean spiritual energy to create matter. When that
happens, the accumulation of material assets will no longer be needed as
a variable for living.
Coming with such an ability will be a new species of human beings that
will need nothing from the external world.
Such beings will create invisibly, without any need for fanfare
or recognition. They will
desire invisibility from the wannabes who would want the genius
of such beings for their own personal gain. However, such creative power
is not transferable. Such enormous power only comes with those who have
no need to be the leader of the band.
Their leading desire is to live quiet, unobtrusive lives that
encourages other people to find a path that works for them.
Such beings may already be living among us but no one recognizes them
because they live their lives in a way so that no one takes notice.
They are perfectly disguised just as they wish to be.
Because they create by thought, no one will find them publicly
healing others by their touch or by the words they speak.
These nameless saviors would not be many in number.
Because of their creativity, each has become the leaven for
the loaf in a section of society that is accelerating.
They are made invisible due to the way they conceal their
abilities. They know exactly who they are and create with such surgical
precision that their deeds defy detection.
They may be like gods who have chosen to be here to lead us into
the discovery of what everyone has the potential to become.
Such self-recognition will awaken within them when their egos are
silenced and they no longer push and shove to be the leader of the
band. Such beings will
live at all levels of society.
Many among the Christian-elite continue to tell the world’s people that
the only way to God is through Jesus. Specifically, how do such people
define through Jesus?
Perhaps what they are saying is that when we begin making choices
that reflect the love that Jesus had taught and displayed, we invisibly
influence those around us.
Many people Jesus cited are invisible to history e.g., the forgiving
father of the prodigal son, the Samaritan who saved the life of a man
who had been beaten and robbed, or the name of a woman who washed Jesus’
feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. Think of the woman who
became highly influential to the generosity of people over thousands of
years whose identity has remained invisible.
She is only known to people because of what she did.
She gave two copper coins to the Temple and in so doing gave
everything that she had.
Rather than becoming a heathen-hunter and inviting people to
accept the blood of the lamb to be saved, how about perfecting
within ourselves the ability to display loving energy?
Doing this allows whatever influence we have on others to be up
to our Creator who continues to work invisibly through invisible people.
