God is Dependent on the Devotee

Law of Action

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Julia Desmond

During this teaching, I use the term “god” interchangeably with the words  “Divine Presence” and “The Field of Grace”. This is how I personally relate to the “All That IS”. Please use any word or words that you feel comfortable with when relating to your own divinity. Please use any form of God or Universal Energy that you are comfortable with.

Devotee means mankind, the individual, all of us.

So this teaching: “God is Dependent on the Devotee” is based on a Universal Spiritual Law. There are 12 such Spiritual Laws that the Universe operates on and they affect all life and consciousness.

This Law is the Universal Law of Action.

The Law of Action states that we must move in the direction of our desires in order to achieve them. We must engage in some action that supports what we think about and dream about.

Man MUST take first action in ANY area of life. This is true within the business world, within relationships, within health, and especially within spiritual growth and awakening. TAKING ACTION = DIRECTLY INTER-“ACTING” with the Field of Grace.

For example, this is true in the business world. If you had just graduated from business school with an MBA, and it was your intention to start your own successful business, you would take action. You would take every step necessary to align your new business for success, would you not? Of course you would! You would put in the maximum external effort required, and you would do this consciously, and hopefully with passion. Ultimately the success that comes in with this external effort is abundance through Grace, so this abundant success = the Universe responding to your “action”.

So when we are desiring any spiritual growth, awakening, and god-realization, it is the same Universal Law of Action that is at work. When we are desiring these things, we have to reach out to the Universe first. It is a Universal Law, man must reach out to God first, to initiate contact. It cannot happen any other way. This is how the “game” of being “human” was structured eons ago. How this game was structured is incredible complex, not to go into now. However it can be explained as to how the Field of Grace is designed. This Field is: ALL PERVASIVE, OMNIPRESENT, EVERYWHERE THROUGH TIME AND SPACE. It is EXISTENCE, CONSCIOUSNESS, BLISS. SATCHADANANDA PARABRAMHA, the first line of the Oneness University’s Moolamantra. This Field of Grace is in every single cell of our being, connecting and “inter”-acting with the filed of grace all around.

So man being here on Earth is playing the game, man agreed to come to earth to feel the complete sense of separation from the divine. This is what we ALL signed up to do, ALL of us alive today, to feel and experience this separation from God. This IS the human game.

However, there is a “REMEMBERANCE”, amongst all of us, especially those involved in the Oneness Work, at whatever capacity we are involved in, whether we are a Trainer, Deeksha Giver, or Deeksha Receiver. This “remembrance” is of “Oneness”, the Law of Oneness, which is another Universal Spiritual Law. This remembrance is in our DNA and is what calls us to the Oneness Phenomenon, whether we are conscious of it or not. This has been located in our DNA through all our various lifetimes and lineages.

So NOW, as we are participating in the greatest shift of the ages mankind has ever been able to participate in, it is time for the “Wake Up”. It is time for the Awakenings and God-Realizations.

How is this happening NOW? Man MUST set the action into motion. It MUST be initiated by man. Man MUST reach out to God and initiate the link between Heaven and Earth. Man MUST ask to be this “god-link”. This is how to activate and initiate the Field Of Grace into motion for Spiritual Growth, Awakening, and God-realization.

How does one initiate this? On a very basic level, man must acknowledge the Divine on a daily basis, ideally throughout the whole day. Acknowledging is the very simple, yet powerful  ACT OF PRAISING the divine for absolutely everything in one’s life. This is not the same as invoking gratitude, this is simply: PRAISE.

PRAISE is the conscious act of speaking words of “thanks” internally or out loud externally to your god and divinity for everything. Everything, whether it is termed as pleasant or unpleasant, it all needs to be praised for it is all the divine hand in one’s life. There is a certain vibration created by this “Act of Praise”. This vibration = the same vibration as the Field of Grace. You can think of Praise as speaking “the same language of the Divine Universe”.

What does Praise sound like? It is so easy, and I feel is one of the most important sadhanas to consciously engage in all day. It is simply to say to your divine: “I praise you divine presence” and then list the things that are happening to you during the day. Praise all the people who are around you, and cross your path throughout the day, all your family members, work colleagues, even strangers, for each and every one of these are the divine helping you with your day and life’s journey. Praise all nature and animals, everything.  Praise at the time of things as they are happening, and also praise during a meditation, at the beginning of the day or at the end of the day. If you want to spend 10 or 15 minutes writing the praise down in a journal, I find it so very effective.

I hear this question all the time:

“Well if Grace is the only thing that has the power to awaken me, then why should I put in any external effort at all?”

BECAUSE, this is how the Universe is structured! It is structured on this very important LAW OF ACTION! Man must put in maximum external effort for anything he desires in life, especially awakening !

True~ Grace IS the only thing capable of awakening an individual, to give that shift of consciousness. However, Man must initiate the connection with God first through maximum external effort. There are infinite ways to reach out to god, there are 7 billion people on the planet, we will all have our own unique way. However, here are some general examples to put this universal law of action into motion:

• Praise- The act of acknowledging the Divine all day long.
• Prayer and Meditation
• Sadhanas- which are spiritual practices, examples are any of the practices within the Oneness Community: 64-deeksha, mukthi, oneness bhakti yoga, receiving deeksha
• Seva-which is selfless service to mankind. The most important seva on the planet is to help mankind awaken, and of course within the Oneness Community this is through giving Deeksha and facilitating the advanced processes.

All these acts = mankind reaching out to God, initiating contact with the divine.

These Universal Principals apply to wherever you are on the spiritual path, whether you are completely new to all this, or you have had the shifts of awakening and god-realization, or anywhere in between.

Maximum external effort results in Maximum response from god. It is a never-ending process, your bond with the divine grows, evolves and morphs everyday! Your bond with the divine is a symbiotic relationship which means your divine depends on YOU as much as you depend on your divine! This actually creates great empowerment for the individual. On the other hand, waiting for grace your whole life without initiating contact first or without putting in maximum effort actually creates great disempowerment. What we need now on the planet are empowered humans consciously and actively reaching out to the divine. The results are extraordinary! Imagine 7 billion people on the planet right now, all actively and consciously reaching out to god, this IS heaven on Earth!

In closing, all life in the Universe utilizes “The Field of Grace” constantly and consistently which = the forward motion of LIFE. All species utilize this field in perfect coherence. Mankind, however, is the only species as a whole right now NOT utilizing the Laws of the Universe consciously and in the proper way. thus unconsciously creating all of the external incoherent experiences existing today. Mankind must remember these important Laws of the Universe and how to utilize them in a proper way for the benefit of all life.

So please let us all utilize the Law of Action to become successful in all areas of our life: to be a good businessman, to be in fulfilling relationships, to have a healthy body, to give back to the planet, and to be on the awakening journey, to walk towards god and to walk with God.
