Weigh Your Choices on the Scales of Love

OR: Do You Really Want to Say That?

Buy the book written directly by God...”God Consciousness”

I like the idea of being in constant contact with God.
Thing is...that my mind gets submerged into a state of being absorbed in my internal thought world. This is the daily life stuff...and the larger self-awareness gets hidden by the tasks that need doing...or some conversation...or the dramas of life.

You know what I mean, right?

Anyway, nothing wrong with any of that stuff...for sure. It is normal.

I do have this idea in my head that being enlightened has a specific definable set of characteristics that include:
  • Being aware of the transcendent during sleep, dreaming and waking states of consciousness
  • Having cosmic consciousness that is present during all other states of activity, including waking, dreaming and sleeping
  • Experiencing consistent witness state of awareness while being dynamically awake, or while asleep or dreaming
What I am experiencing in my reality is a mixture of ongoing God Consciousness that has a lively presence of God thinking thoughts into my thought consciousness. This is not going on all the time...that I am aware of. And often it is not going on unless I deliberately engage in the process.

So...I am able to be very “normal.”

In fact, if you met me...you'd think I was quite normal. I might seem a bit gregarious and even funny...sensitive...a good listener, and intelligent, too.
(Ha, this sounds like I am posting an ad on a dating website.)

What I've noticed in my own “thing” with God Consciousness is that I am NOT a savant...NOT a groovy guru...and cannot claim to being able to perform super-normal powers at will.

What Are Super-Normal Powers?
  • Knowledge of the past and future
  • Knowledge of the meaning of all animal sounds
  • Knowledge of past lives
  • Knowledge of another person's mind
  • Power of invisibility
  • Knowing well in advance the day and hour when you will die
  • Being able to not have hunger or thirst, and not have to eat or drink
  • Super-normal strength
  • Able to see lost or hidden things
  • Super-normal hearing
  • Able to withstand fire, ice, water, the vacuum of space
  • Be able to fly through the air...levitation
  • Ability to enter another person's body
  • Indestructible body
Oh, the list goes on, by the way. And I have included a link to one source for all this. Take your time reading through the entire catalog, including the prerequisites, and the warnings, too.

And I often state that I've had my share of doubts about the authenticity of my own experiences with what I call God Consciousness.

Thing is, my personal experiences add up to me being able to say that this God thing is real, and it is all true. And that you can have it, too.

Part of this process does carry with it the growth of greater sensitivity to the impact I have via my actions. And this is particularly true when it comes to the action of my speaking words out loud that other people hear with their ears...including the tone of my voice...and my body language, too.

I know that what I say is powerful...and becomes more powerful the closer my words are in tune with my personal truth. And the more my words are aligned with my thoughts...and the thoughts that I have that come from God...from my self.

Now...in the God business...the enlightenment brigade...the word “self” is often segmented so that the big self is spelled with a capital “S” to designate it as being that special, cosmic you-you-you. Like, the self when fully realized...as in, you are now enlightened...fully enlightened.

Here is a link for you to explore some of the ideas about what being an enlightened being actually means:

And here is another link along the same lines:

One way to help your life improve in a very and immediate way that will also create some very nice traction...is to become aware of the power of your speech. This means the words that you say to yourself, and to other people.

In some ways this has a lot to do with the thoughts that you entertain in your mind. But I want to get you to pay attention to the idea of first starting with your actual speech.

The point of this (and many similar experiments) is that, to quote from Boroditsky: “if you change how people talk, that changes how they think...”

Here is a link to more about this, including some very cool research:

Along the way of writing you this article, I have been doing some research about the power of the words we speak. I decided to see what the Holy Bible had to say. I knew that there were some good nuggets contained within these scriptures. Here are some examples:

Ten Warnings about the Power Words

We need God’s help to have a pure (and purer) heart. In the meantime, these proverbs can shine a light on where we are in our walk.
1. Anyone who answers without listening is foolish and confused. (Prov. 18:13)
2. Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble. (Prov. 21:23)
3. A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city, and arguments separate people like the barred gates of a palace. (Prov. 18:19)
4. People will be rewarded for what they say; they will be rewarded for how they speak. (Prov. 18:20)
5. There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (Prov. 12:18)
6. What you say can mean life or death. Those who speak with care will be rewarded. (Prov. 18:21)
7. A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Prov. 15:1)
8. Without wood, a fire will go out, and without gossip, quarreling will stop. (Prov 26:20)
9. The words of a good person are like pure silver, but an evil person’s thoughts are worth very little. (Prov. 10:20)
  1. The poor beg for mercy, but the rich give rude answers. (Prov. 18:23)

In these articles I've been writing about God Consciousness...I have been quoting from different sources, including the Holy Bible. And I could quite definitely be wrong about everything I am asserting to you...by the way.

And I get that.
I really do.

Even so, there is a lot of tempered wisdom in the verses I am quoting in this article about the power of speech.

This next quote is a long one,
from James 3: 2-13

2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.


3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.


4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.


5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.
How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!



6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.



7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind,



8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.



9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.



10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.



11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water?



12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.



13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.


As you can see, there is a visible and tangible warning about the power of our words. And this is not just a Christian or Jewish admonition...like a fear-based, patriarchal top-down, corporate over-lord power structure...seeking to control and repress you-you-you.


I have a link here for you to explore another point of view about the power of your words...and it is rich with detail, and generous with insight. I strongly recommend that you take your time working with the material you will discover by clicking on this link:

I hope this article serves your own quest for God Consciousness...in whatever version you are aspiring to attain.


I mean, you might be a hard-core Christian...or a devout Hindu...or maybe you are a very certain atheist. And you are seeking contact with something greater than your own ego...your own perception of...you...and the world that you live in.


So...I hope that this article helps you get some good traction on making contact with the bigger you...the self that gets a capital letter “S” attached to it's beginning...as in The Self.


I know that I am getting more and more observant about asking God to help me speak in tune with God's will...turning my speech over to God...so that my words work and play with the highest tendencies.


I am going to be writing more about this idea of the purity of speech. And so we are going to get into some really cool stuff...for sure. 

And we'll be digging deeper into the scales of love, too.
For now, I am going to leave you with this image of the scales of love...you might assume it's romantic in nature...and, yes, this image is romance in nature.

Image: The Scale of Love
Jean-Antoine Watteau


We can only imagine the life of a human in the time, class and location depicted in that image (above)...and their world view. I think we have (often) a fuzzy enough view of our own world, right now.

I do know that paying attention to what we say...and repurposing our sub-conscious to support the positive affirmations...the ones that express our deepest feelings about the person you want to become...and that go against the beliefs we have that are submerged...that we became encumbered with...without our even knowing it...that doing this job of paying attention to what we are saying...and aiming for purity of speech...well, it is a HUGE undertaking.

You are going to get some serious blow-back from the interior territories of your you-you-youness...that wants to NOT be all Goody-Two-Shoes...and wants to be down in the dirt, rubbing sewage all over your words and thoughts...and keep you...from...becoming...FREE.

So...we're going to be getting into this in the next few articles.

See you then.


All the Best!Robert Farmilo,
