10-19-26 departing in glory
Lee van Laer, inner Christianity Substack today, Becoming God:
“Well, of course, it sounds like a bit of heresy to say that we could become God. And yet, Meister Eckhart survived the Inquisition, at least his reputation did. He was dead by the time they settled the inquiries into his writings. But he didn’t get excommunicated, even though some few passages in his sermons were considered questionable.
Well then, we are called to love, and to become God in love. A mystery. and the only way that I can understand that for myself is to enter a much deeper sensation of my being.
There is a place at the root of being where grace flows in and because grace is born of love, a trickle of real, actual love flows in with it. Not a stream, or a river, or an ocean of love, but a trickle, because any more than that would be too much for us to bear in our tininess. We aren’t prepared to receive the fullness of God’s love. It is indeed too great for us, but, But this tiny trickle of love, which translates itself into goodness in being, can flow in at the root of the soul if I become very, very still, and I sense myself, and I wait.
For it’s possible for me to be so still that the noise I am making about myself and my life can go away for a moment. And the moment that they do, every particle of God’s love in me, and there are many already there, becomes more active in anticipation of a meeting with more of their brethren as they flow in. And so I have this possibility of becoming much more receptive to God’s love, which enters here at the root of being.
What that will result in, I do not say, nor do I know. I make no claims. I attempt no works of my own. I simply make an effort to open my heart to God’s love because it is so much greater than my own. And if I open my heart to that, I know that all else will eventually be right within me. For that is a power of transformation. It changes everything.

Then I watched a Substack vid on Enoch 1, 2, 3. But I don’t quite think that’s right just because it makes a beautiful Video presentation reminds me of how susceptible to suggestion human beings are, as GIG warns. And it reminds me of King Konuzion inventing religion, BT , Third Flight chapter XX Plus GIG’s earlier warning, p103:
“CHAPTER XIII – Why in Man’s Reason Fantasy May Be Perceived as Reality
My dear and kind Grandfather, be so kind as to explain to me, if only in a general way, why those beings there are such that they take the ‘ephemeral’ for the Real.” To this question of his grandson, Beelzebub replied thus: “It was only during later periods that the three-brained beings of the planet Earth began to have this particularity in their psyche, and just this particularity arose in them only because their predominant part, which was formed in them as in all three-brained beings, gradually allowed other parts of their total presences to perceive every new impression without what is called ‘being-Partkdolg-duty’ but just merely as, in general, such impressions are perceived by the separate independent localizations existing under the name of being-centers present in the three-brained beings, or, as I should say in their language, they believe everything anybody says, and not solely that which they themselves have been able to recognize by their own sane deliberation. “In general, any new understanding is crystallized in the presence of these strange beings only if Smith speaks of somebody or something in a certain way; and then if Brown says the same, the hearer is quite convinced it is just so and couldn’t possibly be otherwise. Thanks merely to this particularity of their psyche and to the fact that the said writer was much spoken about in the said manner, most of the beings there at the present time are quite convinced that he is indeed a very great psychologist and has an incomparable knowledge of the psyche of the beings of his planet”
