DWQA QuestionsCategory: CreatorWhat can we tell skeptics to support our perspective that you are truly the Divine Creator of All That Is?

There are many obstacles to belief, and many independent perspectives, and many differing standards and criteria. This is one of the most difficult hurdles for each person to surmount. It is easier to inculcate belief among the young because they have not closed their minds to the idea, as yet, and will be open and embrace it, not only because they are vulnerable and have no fixed opinions to complicate matters, but because they are spiritually more in alignment and will naturally resonate with the concepts because their intuitive awareness knows that it is valid and real to consider a divine source. The older one gets, the more closed-minded people become, because each day and each year experiencing the contrary becomes a further barrier to belief in what one has not observed directly, at least in a way that stands out from the background of the ordinary. So, in addition to the natural difficulty of the culture not encouraging spiritual awareness that can start early, in many areas of the world now, the divine realm, by nature of the exercise in nurturing the divine human project, cannot force itself on people to confront, and countermand, and override their beliefs, because that is a violation of the rules in place now. We can easily prove our existence in countless ways but that is not a priority and, in fact, will work against the test of human to re-connect to their spiritual origin and reawaken the intuitive awareness of its validity, and the inner knowing of divine truth about life, what is valuable, what is true, and what supports love, and how to deal with situations when love is absent. So, this is a request that inherently contains its own limitation, in a sense it is asking the impossible, because we are forbidden from convincing skeptics. This is a human task, so we have to turn this back on you, yourselves, to find your path, to do your research, to explore the world, to observe, to think deeply, and open yourself to possibilities. If your heart is open to love, and you resonate with love, and seek to foster loving kindness in all you do, you are on the divine wavelength already. This will make it easier to understand the concept that love's origin is within the divine, and its highest and best expression and validation of its existence. If you can feel the love in our words, wanting earnestly to support you, to help you be successful, to help you be givers and receivers of love in all you do, and carry forward the highest of the principles we cherish and wish to foster in everything that happens within the universe, you will be doing divine work and will be in divine alignment. You, individually, when you achieve that mode of being are the best evidence for the existence of the Almighty, because you can be the very embodiment of Creator in carrying out an effective life as an agent of love to better the world. This is the goal of humanity, to find its highest expression through love, and to overcome all challenges. And there is perhaps none greater than the challenge of building faith when Creator is seemingly absent, and perhaps nothing but an idea. What we would point out is that if you began to look with open mind and heart for evidence of love in the world, each and every time you find it, it has our fingerprints because that is our essence and our gift to all WE touch. So, it is much like the electricity that flows to where it is needed, the source of power and energy to make many, many things happen. Behind that is a designer, a Creator, a caring for all, to create that infrastructure, to engineer and plan it, and bring it into being inspiring many to assist in the cause. And although enticed, in most instances, by money in the form of salaries for the participants, that does not take away from its worth and value to the collective good. And so, there needs to be an acknowledgment and crediting of the design, and the designers, and the many who made personal investments to the success of the outcome. Our existence and presence is throughout everything in the world and, especially so, when there is love and beauty. These are abundant in many human enterprises and in much of the natural world, as well. This is like a vessel that all must fill, and you must do this each in your own way, to provide what it is you personally need, to fill whatever void may be present, whatever amount of doubt resides within you—to bridge that gap is your responsibility and not ours. This is part of the test for you and the challenge for you to maintain a connection to us and a belief, despite all that might happen to discourage you and cause suffering and loss. There is always a way to find faith, to cultivate it, and to express it. And if you do so, there will be rewards, and these will come with signs and with evidence, as well, that we are always here with you, we reside within you, and we are part of all you do—whether totally passive as an observer, or an active partner, is up to you. You must initiate it, you must breathe life into it, you must nurture and support it with your thoughts as a form of energy, and you must keep that request for partnership alive. It is much like a friendship. You may make a friend, and then feel they are a friend for life, and never see them for many decades. The friendship may still exist but it is more rewarding if you share that awareness with one another, if only through distant communication, whether electronic or physical in the form of letters. The same is true of the relationship to the divine. It is best when it is active, when it is sought through taking action. That allows us to answer, because we cannot initiate a dialogue. When we reach out to a person it is always in answer to a request that has come before, because we must respect your independence and your sovereignty.
