At the end of our writing today you will get a glimpse of Ann as she is enabled to see the good she has done in her life.
THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter Forty One
I knew that I loved my children and I also loved their friends who played with them. I never preached to the children, I felt that the truest way to get ideas understood was to give an example of them by living them. Becky had a friend who had a serious kidney infection who was feeling very sick. Her parents where not listening to her and would not take her to a doctor. I knew the parents well, and they were leaving their children home alone for days at a time while they pursued other interests. I took a chance and took the girl to a free clinic and had her treated, as it turned out, for a kidney infection. No one ever knew the difference.
"One day you took the children of an old acquaintance into your home, when you had nine children already," said Paul, "and you refused to accept money from the state for caring for them, but helped them and their parents out. It took up your love, time, and resources to care for those two children, yet you gave them unconditional love even though they would end up stealing you blind."
"You had an interesting theory," said Glenna, "that if you went into the world with a heart full of love that you could actually make a difference in someone's life. So you put love in your eyes whenever you went outside and looked for people to comfort or support, no matter that they might not understand what you're intentions were. Your great experiment worked, and you found many people to comfort and give aid to over the years. In fact, you found many people who needed a smile or a comforting word and you gave it to them freely. I think you were surprised how easy it was to listen to other people and to comfort tham or give them words of encouragement."
"That wasn't a hard thing to do Glenna," I said. "It seemed to come naturally and the thing that I found was that other people then turned around and supported other people. I felt like I was one with all of the people that I met or came into contact with. Finally, as I grew older, I began to feel one with the entire world around me. I felt that if I was in pain that I could understand another person in pain, and I found myself also feeling great love for all of the animals, nature, and the universe around me. I felt one with all.
"It is easy to love because I have known the greatest loves from my children; my grandchildren; and in my later years the dear love of my Ed. My heart just naturally falls into love because it is the easiest way to go. Not the least problematic, but the easiest choice to make."
Sudden;y the lights came on and the movie disappeared from the screen. Paul stood up in front of the screen and said, "We have all gotten away from the movie as we have been talking, but that's all right because we don't need to see the entire movie to its end again. We've found the answer that we came here to find."
"We have?" I asked.
"Yes, we have, Glenna and Ed do you know what I am saying? Are you agreed with me that we no longer have to see more of the movie, as we have the answers that we came for?"
"By all means stop the movie," said Ed. "Glenna and I know we have seen enough and that we have the answer that we came here to find."
"Wait a minute," I said, "what do you see? What answer have you found? Why stop the movie?"
"Ann," said Paul, "you have said in your own words that you are love and that you are one with all people and with the whole universe. When you have seen that, then you also see that you are one with ONE; that all is one with ONE."
"Does that mean that I have won my life game?" I asked.
And then Glenna, Ed, and Paul were all hugging me at once and saying congratulations. I was in shock: happy shock; delirious shock! Finally, I had won a life game and now I could stay Home and be with ONE always. Enjoy all the beauties of home and never having to go off again unless, for some strange reason, I decided I wanted to play another life game. However, I cannot see that happening unless ONE asked me to go for some reason that was good to him.
Tomorrow Ann celebrates the win of her last life game, and prepares to go the the Council of the Elders once again.
