Questions 18-22

​
Why does Om create creatures that are so vulnerable? Why do people have such a hard time with their emotions?
​
Om is the master of the universe in the sense that Om is in everything and exerts its holy power in this and in every world.
​
​
Om creates creatures that appear vulnerable and are vulnerable on this plain so that the world is a place of high drama. Life is crucial and apparently fragile. It can’t be taken for granted. Each creature must protect its existence. A life that appears to end has a greater value to its possessor than one which stretches on forever. Otherwise why take care to find food or lodgings or to protect one’s offspring? Life is valued more if it seems that it will end.
​
​
As for why we humans must struggle with our emotions, that is a different matter. We are full of past impressions. Everything we do has its impact on our psyches. We are the sum of our history, the result of every one of our actions. We are walking, talking tabulations of all we have done and have had done to us. That is what makes us who we are at present.
​
​
In truth we are holy and golden and stainless and everlasting and made of light and joy. But the person who lives her days as you is you because of all you’ve done from lifetime to lifetime.
​
​
Om gives you the freedom to proceed in any way that you please. And then in Om’s great majesty and compassion, Om gives you ways to reverse the harm you’ve done to yourself. The good is applauded. You’ve been Om’s great good messenger and servant and partner on this earth. And the bad is slowly wiped away through valiant efforts to stem the tide of faulty thinking and to become more godly in your approach to the world.
​
​
Om watches and waits. Om is very patient. Om never despairs the way that you do when your emotions get the better of you or cause you pain because you know that your reactions don’t fit the situation. They are overblown. Your imagination has gotten the best of you by imagining either too gay or too grim a future. The actual future will be just what you need to take you further down the road, further into Om’s arms. And still you get yourself into a snit, into a frenzy of worry, and can’t seem to stop it.
​
​
Have no fear. Om is watching and waiting. Om has the faith and the knowledge that the slate of past actions and terrors will one day be wiped clean. It is happening now. It is proceeding minute by minute at the proper speed. So do not worry or fault Om for putting you into intense situations.
​
​
Life is intense. Boredom is unbearable. Peace and trust, on the other hand, are what await you once you master your past griefs and hurts and angers and toss them away and say: “I am pure and happy and grateful for all that Om has given me. And now I want to live a life driven not by fear of life’s seeming fragility or dangers, but of life’s eternal glories. I want to focus on what is eternal and golden and stainless and faultless and realize that I am that, and act accordingly.”
​
​
Om has given you a great role to play in Om’s drama. Everything in Om’s universe is part of this play and applauded as such and welcomed home after the curtain falls after a particular act. And then you go backstage and wipe off your stage makeup and see your real face.
​
​
Om loves you and applauds you. Love and applaud Om for the interesting life Om has given you, a life of value and service and straining toward God.

​
How does Om want us to deal with anger and disappointment? Does anything ever stand in Om’s way?
​
​
Om wants you to see the entire picture. Om does not break up your life into fragments. Om moves your life forward in the way that Om moves through the universe, creating and dissolving as it pulses from realm to realm.
​
​
Om wants you to see each incident as part of a whole that will take you to where you are meant to go. Om pricks you so that you won’t be complacent and have a swelled head. Om wants you to see the areas of your life that must be corrected, the faulty ways of thinking that keep you imprisoned in a world of past actions and impressions, a world that no longer exists.
​
​
Om lives in the present. Om is whole and complete and pulses in this glorious state of fullness and potential for all it can cause to come into being.
​
You are one of Om’s holy creations, as are your perceived enemies. In this world people rarely see the truth. Their views are colored by the past and by fears of the future. They rarely operate at the full capacity that Om has bestowed upon them. Pity these misguided people. Welcome them into your heart and minister to them there to your best ability. Do the same for yourself.
​
​
What harm can truly be done to you? What about you is everlasting and which things that you carry will fall by the side of the road and be abandoned for brighter, truer things?
​
​
Look back at your life. See the value it holds. See the importance of those things which you craved but never managed to grab onto and hold. Do you want them now? Are they anything but clutter that is best for you to be without?
​
​
Hasn’t your life gone exactly as it should, given your true desires and the radiant wishes that Om has for you?
​
​
Why is today any different? As for those whom you feel have hurt you, is that really the truth? What is it that actually causes you pain? Is it your sorry interpretations of others’ actions or the actions themselves? How do you know that your version is accurate? In truth it is not. At worst you were dealt with quickly without a thought or with good thoughts that you brushed aside in order to hold onto your cruel and harmful views.
​
​
At best, and this is the absolute truth of what happened, the occurrence was exactly what was needed for all involved and a small thing on the scale of what you encounter in life. The only importance is that you use each incident to remove a veil from your eyes and see life more happily.
​
​
Om wants you to be happy and eager for whatever is in store for you. Om loves you and all of its creations. Do the same. Develop compassion for all involved. Come to love them and wish them well. Great freedom and happiness will follow if you learn to do this. Shower the world with love and grace, just as Om does. Follow in Om’s wake and continue Om’s good actions, for every action that Om performs is good and pure and meant for the betterment of Om’s creations.
​
​
Om bursts with love for Om’s creations. Om holds them close to its chest and croons love songs into their ears. Listen closely. Learn to hear the words that Om sings to you. Learn to sing in tandem, to form a holy chorus, to gather converts to Om’s holy vision and song. Sing your heart out with praise for Om.

How does sound become matter?
Om is a holy vibration, the highest, the finest, most golden vibration there is. Om tremors above the universe, and the universe comes into being. Om is the holy string that vibrates to form the world. The sound is piercing and haunting and will break your heart into pieces so that Om’s holy sound can emerge from the wreckage like a golden sun rising after a frightening storm. Om is a sound so profound and moving that hearing it once will change the listener into a purer soul.
​
​
Om’s sound rings in our ears. It travels through our bloodstream like a holy vessel whose horn is more melodious than a chorus of angels. Om is a vibration so exquisite that it purifies all who hear it.
​
​
Om becomes matter by intention. Om thickens its sound, its holy string; it slows its course, and we come into being. We too are holy vibrations. We too are music so exquisite that flowers open to the sound of our hearts as they beat to Om’s rhythm, Om’s holy pace. If you saw yourself as you truly are, you would see yourself bend and sway to Om’s holy sound. You would see how attuned you are to it and how in keeping with Om’s holy desires for Om’s world of action and growth, pain and rebirth as brighter, stronger, lighter creatures.
​
​
It is all a song, all a matter of being plucked like a string and vibrating in a way that makes a sweet holy sound, a sound that awakens others so that they too can listen and bend to Om’s wishes. It is a chain of vibrations, a ripple of movement and sound that stretches from universe to universe, person to person, heart to heart until the circle is complete and the world vibrates to the sound of Om’s desire that we be happy and whole and in love with life and in love with Om.
​
​
Om sings to us constantly. Om is the lover we long to hear. Om’s song is the love song we’ve craved since we were sung to by our mothers and we wished to become one again with all that surrounded us rather than being a seemingly separate fragile being.
​
​
Om is a holy lullaby, a holy siren’s song more potent than any we can create with our voices and musical instruments. Listen to it. Let it pierce your heart and quicken your soul. Let it call to you and cast off everything that keeps you from hearing Om’s song to our world, Om’s song to you, a song that fulfills your aspirations for union with God

​
What do you want to tell me today about Om?
​
​
Om is central to your being, to your state of physical and emotional health. Om radiates the proper vibrations that keep your systems working as they should. Om is the central vibration, the pure, holy vibration that courses through the universe, keeping everything in balance and harmony.
​
​
Om is the sound that sets us free. Om is the sound of joy and creation, of night becoming everlasting day.
​
​
Listen and you will hear the sound of Om as it travels through you and through everything else. Om is both mighty and subtle. Listen with great care and you will hear it pulse inside you. You will hear it mirror your heartbeat so that you will recognize a sound so familiar that you don’t hear it at all.
​
​
Om is the song that will set you right and moving in the proper direction. Om will croon to you from near and far. It is the song you were born to hear, the song you crave and search for and pray to hear. And yet it is inside you and inside everything else. It is what you know best after your mother’s heartbeat while you were in the womb. It kept your mother’s heart beating and it does the same for yours. Love Om. Worship Om. Listen to its holy beat. Follow it as it travels far and near.

​
How does Om want me to live my life?
​
​
Om wants you to live in a state of bliss and wonder. Om wants you to wander through Om’s world dumbstruck by the beauty and majesty of it all. Om is a creator nonpareil. Om is an engineer whose constructions are marvels on every level. Om has created a world for you to enjoy and also to take part in, to work to improve that which Om has left for you to do. Om doesn’t create a world where there is nothing for its inhabitants to do but to sit back and watch it as though they were watching a sunset that is so far from them that it occurs on its own and cannot be impacted upon.
​
​
What kind of life would that be for the world’s inhabitants? What would be the point of living? How could there be growth? And so out of Om’s great wisdom, foresight and compassion, Om has given you a world that waits for you to leave your mark on it.
​
​
Om hopes that you will leave the world better off than it was when you took birth and entered this particular realm. When you left the womb and entered the world, so to speak, and were on your own and free to look about, you saw that it was not an easy place to be in. From the start there were difficulties, and that was to prepare you for times to come. In other realms life is easy, but those are places of respite and not of growth and you who come here are eager to grow. You seek the challenge that is put before you.
​
​
Your heart is tender so that you will help the poor and comfort those whose lives have seemingly gone astray. They want so desperately to find the path that will be free of the nettles that prick them at this moment. They are ill at heart and bleeding and need to be sheltered in God’s loving arms. Yet where do they find this blessed relief? They don’t know. And it is up to those who have found God and know the joy that knowing God can give, to show these weary souls a better way. Take them by the hand and bring them to me. Speak of my glories and love.
​
​
Tell them to rejoice in the changes that are coming their way. Tell them that the worst is over and that their time for growth and health and joy is coming. Tell them to open their arms and their hearts to me. Tell them they passed the test. They saw what was to be done to bring them peace and now the true work, the true tasks, the true and worthy goals will be reached. Tell them that happiness lies inside them. Tell them to stop their futile search and to put down the glass or the fork or the romance novel and find the joy that waits for them inside their hearts. Tell them of my love and compassion and most of all of my great patience and trust that they will leave the path of false hopes and nettles and stones that trip them up and leave them bloodied and cursing themselves for the poor choices they made.
​
​
And now I rejoice that they have opened their eyes and glimpsed the golden truth. Welcome them as I do. Love them as I do. Share your knowledge and sit beside them while they continue to learn the great virtues and gifts of the world you live in, the world Om has given you with the most loving of hearts and certainty that your better aspects will prevail in the world of tests and choices, and battles and pain, and love and grace and golden hours to be spent in happy worship of me and the gifts I bestow upon you. The gift of wonder, the urge for self-improvement, the ability to love and to know God, to love God and to draw closer and closer to me until we are one and are linked in an embrace so divine and love-filled and permanent and glorious that love on earth pales beside it and all is forgotten. The pain of life recedes and the reward for your valiant efforts bares the most magnificent and unexpected of fruits. Trust, have patience, share what you’ve learned, and know that joy is your birthright. And that it is yours to embrace and experience to your heart’s content.
