I ask, "What is God's love like?"

Zohar answers, “God’s love is unique, because all true love originates from God. To understand God’s love, one must have an understanding of God. God is not powerful. God IS Power. God is not all knowing. God IS Knowledge. God is not good. God IS Goodness. In like fashion, God does not love. God IS Love.

“To us, God’s love is like the rays of the sun. You cannot see the rays that warm you. They exist in the infrared part of the spectrum, but even though they are invisible they warm you still. Even if you turn your back to the sun and can no longer see it, it warms you. God’s love is like that. You may have times in your life where you could not see God’s love, but it was and is always there, keeping you warm. It is unconditional. There is nothing you can do, say, or think that will stop God from loving you. It is strong, stronger than all other forms of love as all forms of true love have their roots in God’s love.

“Like other love, however, you must accept God’s love to truly benefit from it. You must allow it into your heart and your head, both, to experience it in its fullness. When you accept God’s love and begin to revel in it, then you will radiate light and love from yourself. You cannot keep God’s love contained. It just wants to bust out all over. That is what happens to you. You show light and that light dispels darkness. Keep in tune with God’s love.

“If you do not know how to tune into that particular frequency, then sit a while in silence, count those things you are truly grateful for, and think of at least 3 good things that have happened to you in the past 24 hours. Do this daily and feel the love touch your heart.  Meditate on that and Gods love will begin to seep in.

“To channel that love, practice random acts of kindness. Send a friendly email, make positive comments on someone’s Facebook page, make friendly conversation with a store clerk, buy lunch for a homeless person… the possibilities are endless. As you channel this love you will find it being magnified within yourself.

“Remember the miracles in your life. Everybody has miracles from the birth of a child, to finding a perfect mate, to having a close friendship, and so on. These are all little miracles and they are evidence of God’s love. Take them to heart. Feel them. Own God’s love greedily for yourself because God’s love is an inexhaustible supply. There is enough for everyone, and much, much more.”

I ask, “What is forgiveness?”

Zohar answers, “Forgiveness is a white dove. It brings peace to the forgiver as much as the forgiven. It is for the forgiven as they can now begin to process their guilt (should they so choose), but it is mostly for the forgiver, for they can process their anger, disappointment, and grief. Forgiveness is not forgetting, it is not accepting, it is certainly not condoning. It may not even be reconciliation, as reconciliation may not be desirable given the circumstances. The grievance which has been forgiven allows the forgiver to move on with their life. It is closing one chapter in a relationship and opening another.

“The pain is much for those who do not forgive. They grow old, and bitter, and cynical, and angry. These eat away at the soul of the individual and puts them into a hell on earth, a hell in this life. This opens them to the darkness. The unforgiven deeds of others follow them into their karma until one day they finally learn to forgive. So, forgive freely and often. It is liberating for the soul and it spreads the Light.”

I ask, "What is love?"

Zohar answers, “Love is a conundrum. It appears here, and then there, as though it was a flittering sparrow hopping from tree to tree. It settles in and nests when there is food and shelter enough to secure its future and the future of its offspring. It is that which it calls home. The tree it settles upon neither lures or repels it by its own mind. It merely provides a place that by happenstance is also habitable.

“Likewise, love settles in where the growth of the individual has made a hospitable place for it to take up residence in the soul. But as for what it is, to describe it as I would a bird, it’s feathers, plumage, and song, would require you to be a little more specific. There are many different aspects of love. There is romantic love, brotherly love, divine love, paternal love… and there is much that people mistake for love.”

I ask, "You mention reincarnation. Can you describe this?"

Zohar answers, “All persons have multiple lives until they reach a level of spiritual maturity to leave this earthly abode. You are given the choice, but you are also driven by karma. This does not mean that persons who are poor, sick, and abused, are that way because they were bad people in their prior life. No, the poor, sick, abused person might have a higher spiritual calling than a rich, successful, and revered person. The two do not correlate. The rich person may be spiritually immature. They may suffer in this lifetime in ways not evident to the observer.

“The notion you have of living lives sequentially, one after the other like a string of pearls stretched out along the axes of time is wrong. There is no time in the part of you that exists between lives. Your essence is brought form one life to another simultaneously, in parallel, because time Is but an illusion you create to make sense of the world. You organize the string of pearls, one after the other in linear progression but this is mere illusion.

“As a Star Seed, you are close to the end of your cycle of reincarnations. What is beyond earthly existence is not for me to reveal. You have religions to explain this, but I can tell you this much; the formal, written doctrines of your earthly religions are largely wrong. You must meditate on this yourself to derive an answer that satisfies your need for knowledge at this time.”

I ask, "You mention grace. What is grace?"

Zohar answers, ”Grace is Spirit’s willingness to accept you into Its fold without you having had to earn your place among the stars. Grace is given without consideration for the works you engage in here on earth, or Gaia. This is open freely and completely to all people, be they Star Seeds or be they of the darkness, however, the individual must see, understand, and accept the grace offered by Spirit. Without such acceptance the individual will not receive grace.

“The person who is in darkness is willingly ignorant of the true ways of Spirit and will thus create their own hell by unwittily rejecting the very grace they so greatly desire. Grace is the willingness of Spirit to bring you into full participation with making the decisions that will be put into place in your next life. Without grace, the details of your life will be made by your own karma.

“You will not have a hand in making decisions simply because you do not understand that you have that choice. In fact, everybody has choice. They may even choose not to be reincarnated to this earth but to be given a new form of life altogether different. The possibilities, the choices are infinite. However, you are gently encouraged to reincarnate into a life on earth because this is where your most primitive lessons are learned. So, grace gives one the choice. It is given freely, not earned, and without it you are doomed to repeat the same lessons over and over again. Each time you will be incarnated into worse circumstances until death is all you know. By contrast, grace is life affirming and loving in their purest forms.”

I ask, "You mentioned the Tao. What is the Tao?"

Zohar answers, “Star Seeds must understand the Tao, a God-like concept that requires you to move out of your head, your intellect, and into your heart to comprehend. First, you must approach the Tao as an infant approaches life. It has no language skills and cannot create a narrative in their head. They have no words for things which prevents them from putting labels on things. They know mother, father, hunger, discomfort, and a few other things and yet it has no words to think “I am hunger” or “I like snuggling with Mommy.” It is this wordless approach to reality that one must assume to approach the Tao.

To mention the Tao, to even give it a name, is to misconstrue it. It is that which cannot be spoken of and yet, without the Tao there would be no Reality. All that is, requires the Tao. It is not unity, it is not multiplicity or duality, it is neither form nor substance, it is not even an “it” since an “it” is an object by definition the Tao is not an object. An object is defined as that which has persistence over time and exists in some form of space, if only mental space. The Tao does neither. It neither consumes space nor does it persist over time. To speak of the Tao is not the Tao. The Tao is ineffable. It cannot be communicated from one human being to another. Instead, it must be experienced firsthand.

One must experience the Tao in order to have even an inkling understanding of it. One must awaken to see the Tao. One must be an empty vessel, a new wine skin open and receptive to experience the Tao as new wine.

The Tao cannot be contemplated, because it is not an object of contemplation. Instead, one must allow it. One must be in a pure state of allowing and the Tao will become clear. If you need an object of contemplation to begin with, then contemplate the uncarved block. The block left uncarved is potentially anything under the hands of a sculptor. It exists as an object of pure potentiality. That contemplation, from the heartmind, will start you in the right direction.

I ask, “You speak of the great I AM. Is that what we call God?”

Zohar answers, “What you traditionally consider to be God is the collective of the great I AM, the great Spirit, and the divine spirits of the Masters who include Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Zoroaster, Krishna, and many others throughout history. They all had a spirit that was, as they were, and as we are, wholly human and wholly divine. They are a dual nature, as are all Star Seeds, the difference being that they gave a more perfect expression of their divine being.

“The collective of these is called the Godhead. How you want to break it down into differentiated pieces is largely arbitrary for in fact God is an undifferentiated whole, a great Oneness, something that is not a thought but is a mere I AM. But as I mentioned, the personification of some aspect of the Godhead is a useful exercise because you, in your human form, find it difficult to relate to that which does not technically exist and yet is real. You find it difficult to derive solace, comfort, and meaning from such an entity.

“So, you call it Father-Mother God, Christ, Brahma, or simply God. As you differentiate the different aspects of the Godhead (I AM, Prime Creator, Master Spirits) they differentiate in reality and have their being, but it is something that you are doing so that you can relate.

“Even so, the differentiation is real for you, and thus has a reality in consensus perception, the objective reality that you share and can largely agree upon. However, that reflects the human condition and says more about the nature of humanity than it says about God. That said, one must realize that the Godhead, though seemingly in multiplicity is still oneness in its purest form. The Hebrew scripture put it most succinctly though. God just IS.”
