聽神談【神是什麼？神的願望和在做的是什麼？】
現在關於神的秘密已澄清了一點，你們已經開始了解「我在做的是什麼」(you have begun to understand what I am up to)。
我是神。
我是女神。
我是至高無上的存在(the Supreme Being)。一切的一切(The All of Everything.)。始與終。阿爾法和歐米加。(The Beginning and The End. The Alpha and Omega.)
我是總合與實質、問題與答案、上與下、左與右、此時與此地、之前與之後。
我是光，我是那創造出光並讓光成為可能的黑暗(Darkness)。我是無止盡的善(Goodness)，也是那使得「善」能成為「善」的「惡」(Badness)。我是這一切——一切的一切——而我無法在沒有體驗我自己的全部(All of My Self)前，去體驗我自己的任何部分(any part of My Self)。
而這正是你們對我不了解的地方。你們想要我是其一，而不是其二。是高，而不是低。是善，而不是惡。然而，在你否認我的一半的同時，你也否認了你自己(Self)的一半。而當你還在這樣做，你就永遠無法成為「你真正是誰」。
我是那莊嚴華美的一切(the Magnificent Everything)——而我在探尋的是以體驗的方式認識我自己(know Myself experientially)。我經由你們這樣做，也藉著一切存在之物。藉由我所做的選擇，我在體驗自己的莊嚴華美。因為每一個選擇都是自我創造。每一個選擇都是在為自己下定義。每一個選擇都代表著(represents)——也就是重現出(re-presents)——我於此時選擇的我是誰(Who I Choose to Be)。
然而，我無法選擇成為莊嚴華美，除非有東西讓我從其中選擇。為了讓我選擇我莊嚴華美的部分，我就必須有某部分的我是較不那麼莊嚴華美。
對你們而言，也是如此。
我是神，正在創造我自己的過程中。
而你們，也是如此。
這就是你們的靈魂所渴望要做的。這就是你們的靈(spirit精神)所渴望的。(This is what your soul longs to do. This is that for which your spirit hungers. 註：有關靈魂-soul和靈-spirit的差別，可參閱：www.igod.tw/node/2580)
如果我阻止你們去擁有你們所選擇的，我就是在阻止我自己擁有我所選擇的。因為我最大的願望就是去體驗我自己為我之所是(My greatest desire is to experience My Self as What I Am.)。而這是我在第一部對話中細心且艱辛地解釋過的：只有在「我所不是的空間」裡，我才能體驗到這願望。
所以，我已謹慎地創造了「我所不是」的，以便我能體驗我之所是。
然而我又是我所創造的一切——因而以某種意義來說，我也是我所不是的。
尼爾：怎麼可能有人是他們所不是的呢？
很簡單。你們時時都在這樣做。只要看看你們的行為就知道了。
尋求理解這一點：沒有任何事物是我所不是的。因此，我是我所是，而我也是我所不是。(Seek to understand this: There is nothing that I am not. Therefore, I Am what I Am, and I Am What I Am Not.)
這就是神聖二分法(DIVINE DICHOTOMY)。
這就是那神聖之謎(Divine Mystery)，直至現今，也只有最令人崇敬的心智才會了解。而我現在在此，以一種更多人可以了解的方式已向你們揭示。
摘自《與神對話 III》第1章
This mystery clears up a bit now that you have begun to understand what I am up to.
I am God.
I am the Goddess.
I am the Supreme Being. The All of Everything. The Beginning and The End. The Alpha and Omega.
I am the Sum and the Substance. The Question and the Answer. The Up and the Down of it. The Left and the Right, the Here and the Now, the Before and the After.
I am the Light, and I am the Darkness that creates the Light, and makes it possible. I am the Goodness Without End, and the "Badness" which makes the "Goodness" good. I am all of these things—the All of Everything—and I cannot experience any part of My Self without experiencing All of My Self.
And this is what you do not understand about Me. You want to make Me the one, and not the other. The high and not the low. The good, and not the bad. Yet in denying half of Me, you deny half of your Self. And in so doing, you can never be Who You Really Are.
I am the Magnificent Everything—and what I am seeking is to know Myself experientially. I am doing this through you, and through everything else that exists. And I am experiencing My Self as magnificent through the choices I make. For each choice is self creative. Each choice is definitive. Each choice represents Me—that is, re-presents Me—as Who I Choose to Be Right Now.
Yet I cannot choose to be magnificent unless there is something to choose from. Some part of Me must be less than magnificent for Me to choose the part of Me which is magnificent.
So, too, is it with you.
I am God, in the act of creating My Self. And so, too, are you.
This is what your soul longs to do. This is that for which your spirit hungers.
Were I to stop you from having what you choose, I would stop My Self from having what I choose. For My greatest desire is to experience My Self as What I Am. And, as I carefully and painstakingly explained in Book 1 , I can only do that in the space of What I Am Not.
And so, I have carefully created What I Am Not, in order that I might experience What I Am.
Yet I Am everything I create—therefore I Am, in a sense, What I Am Not.
Neale: How can someone.be what they are not?
Easy. You do it all the time. Just watch your behaviors.
Seek to understand this. There is nothing that I am not. Therefore, I Am what I Am, and I Am What I Am Not.
THIS IS THE DIVINE DICHOTOMY.
This is the Divine Mystery which, until now, only the most sublime minds could understand. I have revealed it for you here in a way that more can understand.
