What Is Meant By Grace? - Big Picture Questions

In a previous post, we learned that we live in a sea of energy within and without. Different life forms have developed various ways of plugging into that energy. There is another powerful, benevolent energy field called “grace” that is poorly understood.

What is the conventional view of grace?

Over the millennia religious programming has distorted our understanding of grace. We’ve been told grace is “an undeserved, unmerited, unearned gift” or “favor of God,” because we are “sinners” or “imperfect” or have “disobeyed his law.” But theologian Paul Zahl wrote:

“Grace always trumps both law and church. Everyone needs the same amount of love, which is 100% unconditional love, the one-way love of God, which is received without guilt or expectation in return. Grace is being loved when you are unlovable.”

In his view, the prime directive of God is to love the world regardless of the world’s fitness to be loved. But Tullian Tchividjian noted that the real world is long on law and short on grace:

“We are, by nature, allergic to grace. The logic of grace is deeply offensive to our law-locked hearts. We view God as a glorified bookkeeper, tallying our failures and successes on His cosmic ledger. If you want love, you must earn it…change, grow and be good.”

Guy Needler (“The History of God”) has totally redefined who we are and why we exist in the greater reality. Channeling Source Entity One/”God,” he wrote:

“Mankind has the habit of clothing information in “human” clothes, categorizing everything in terms of the human condition rather than the real energetic condition, creating confusion and doubt in the process.”

What is the modern spiritual view of grace?

Guy Needler explained: “Love is the experiential knowledge that we are all One, and, that we love others like we love our selves. Grace is seeing the best in others even when we don’t like them.” But that’s just the beginning. According to Needler:

There is no such thing as sin or imperfection, because everything is useful, everything is experience that gives us learning and evolutionary content.
Everything we’ve chosen to do was correct, based on our ability, experience and the tools around us. What we’re experiencing is how it’s supposed to have happened, and therefore, it’s in a level of perfection rather than imperfection.
There are databases at different levels of the multiverse kept by our True Energetic Self/Oversoul, our Source Entity/God and the Origin/Absolute.

They keep track of EVERYTHING with real-time continuous recording of every entity, every choice point, every consequence, every event space, every possible possibility, because our ultimate purpose is to gain evolutionary content and to expand the Origin’s area of sentience.

Why are we being told this now?

Needler explained that all over the world teachers from all walks of life (like Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, and others) have been advising mankind of the reality of their environment.

Each one has provided a different angle, aiming to capture the attention of all learning styles and different levels of understanding in the people of their time.
They all managed to teach some things, but got some things in error. Some of those errors have become core truths in some teachings that became religions.
The time is now right for people to see the truth. We’re becoming expansive enough to be educated in the way we’re supposed to be educated, tuned towards actuality, not fantasy.

As Source said: “It will be a time of shedding old beliefs and accepting new facts. Knowing about the greater reality contributes to the effort to elevate the frequencies of Earth and its surrounding universe.”

How can we feel more grace in our lives?

Deepak Chopra described grace as the benevolent, powerful, unwavering energy of the universe that guides you to the best version of yourself. It is a blissful, life-affirming state of being that is available to everyone, all the time. He explained:

As we mature into our authentic selves, we are more open, receptive, and expansive, and so we naturally feel the influence of more grace in our lives. It is this same expansiveness and openness that makes it easy for us to radiate that grace along to others.
Grace is an important aspect of expanding our happiness, because it is through grace that we express love and blessings completely and unconditionally.
We are each a source and conduit of grace.

“Without knowing who you are and why you are here, life has no meaning. Seek then to study the questions. Work to experience the grandest answers.

Who you are is an Individuation of Divinity. Why you are here is to demonstrate that.” – Neale Donald Walsch
