Yes. Time as we have understood it does not exist. There is only one moment, the Eternal
Moment of Now. All things that have ever happened, are happening, and ever will happen,
are curring right now. As You explained in Conversations with God, book 3, it’s like a giant
CD-ROM. Every possible outcome has already been “programmed.” We experience the
outcome we produce by the choices we make—like playing games with a computer. All of the
computer’s moves already exist. Which outcome you experience depends on which move
you make.
That is a very good example, because it allows for quick understanding. It has one drawback,
however.
Which is?
It likens Life to a game. It makes it sound as if all I’m doing is playing with you.
Yes. I’ve received letters from people who were angry about that. They said that if what was
said in Conversations with God about events and time were true, they were deeply
disappointed. If, after all is said and done, we are all nothing more than pawns, being moved
around on the chessboard of life by a God who does so for His own amusement. They were
not very happy.
Is that the kind of God you think I am? Because, you know, if you do, that’s what you’ll see
Me as. Humans have been having their thoughts about God, and then seeing Me as that, for
thousands of years. This, then, is the greatest secret of all about God:
I will appear to you as you see Me.
Wow.
Yes, wow, indeed. God will seem to be what you seem to see. So how do you see Me?
I see You as a God Who empowers me to create whatever experience I choose, and gives
me the tools with which to do that.
And one of the most powerful of those tools is your friendship with God. Trust Me on this.
I do. I trust You. Because I’ve learned that I don’t have to. The process of life is what it is.
Trust is not necessary, merely knowing.
Exactly.
