Introductory Word
My wish is to make a conscious contact with God. I am convinced that every believer has the same desire. Our craving to reconnect with Source is constant. God is spirit. 1 Spirit can’t be seen, still easily can be expressed. I deeply believe that our emotions stem from spirit, inner reality that can’t be seen. It is rather hard to explain, however, we are able to feel it. We are able to be awakened, to be inspired. As Dr. Wayne Dyer claimed citing ancient teacher Patanjali: “He instructed his devotees to become inspired. Word ‘inspire’ originates from the words ‘in’ and ‘spirit’.”
Patanjali suggested. “Inspiration involves a mind that transcends all limitations, thoughts that break all their bonds and a consciousness that expands in every direction.” That which can’t be seen, can be felt. God is spirit, and those who worship, must worship in spirit and truth, Jesus said. Bringing sacrifice or igniting a candle doesn’t mean much. Any act towards God doesn’t represent anything if it is not backed in spirit and truth. World beyond our form is the foundation of every material thing that we experience. If something is unseen, surely doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Why the unseen world would be less real than this world which we experience as physical pieces of life? As human beings, we are endowed with both—material and spiritual aspect. Love and all emotions are born and reside in unseen, however, can be expressed in material world. We are truly blessed because we received a gift of possibility to be aware, cultivate and live the completeness of reality of connection between seen and unseen, spiritual and material.
With God everything is possible. 2 Inspired with love and kindness, with the immense force of living and acting in truth, I am honoured and excited to convey these messages. I am really happy to have an opportunity to touch all of you; emotionally, intellectually, with an open mind and joyful heart.
Even those whose intention is different, in many occasions experience the presence of God. Believer is filled with the contentment and satisfaction, enjoying every moment of awareness, whilst those who think there is nothing in spirit often feel confused, discouraged, hugged by the sticky arms of apathy. They rely entirely on their knowledge. Belief in nothingness must be pretty discouraging after so many experiences of this world which are wondrous. In spite of technological and industrial progress, inconceivable advancement in many areas, man will never know enough. Knowledge, of course, can be increased, still it will always be swallowed by a bigger area which is intellectually out of man’s grasp. This doesn’t mean we should abandon intellectual efforts, on the contrary. With understanding and experience, two branches through which knowledge increase, accompanied with faith and open mind, we will embark together on magnificent journey. Things that are brought to existence and were unimaginable only hundred years ago, show resolve and imaginary power of human beings. Nothing is impossible with firm belief.

A Letter
I am pouring my burning desire to this sheet of paper. It spreads like liquefied wax that flows from the corroded edge of the candle. Softens, then being compressed again, becomes transformed, takes the form of energy that had changed it at the beginning. My desire is not directed outward but was born within me, and it seems, from its birth, dives even deeper into me, fulfilling the deepest corners of my being. Yearning for conversation is strong, yet not for conversation characterised by the exchange of information and facts. What I want to know certainly is not given to a man to understand. Still, many people try. They try to systematically showcase the nature of Eternal . Is it possible to go so far out of our experience? Being aware of that that some things can’t be grasped doesn’t diminish the intensity of my desire. Being aware of my limitations doesn’t inhibit the strength of my desire. I am thirsty for conversation which is marked by exchange of feelings! Exactly like that, I will hug sounds, voices, caress silence, open my soul to experience the feeling, without having to comprehend. It is not necessary to grasp everything that we live. Often silence gives the right direction. The Essence is regardless of our awareness of it .
I know you’re not far away from me. I can relate with you. No matter how much you’re seemingly ungraspable, you are close to me to the same extent. Yes, it is not even necessary to look around. You are all in one. You are the universe and thought about the universe, man and the seed of creation. This man who is writing, who is packing and directing the burning desire is well aware of your presence. It is an honour and profound pleasure to convey the feeling of peace and deep fulfillment. Dear companions in Word, we are all together.
I want to hear, in any possible way, my joy can’t be hidden because I know you are not stingy with words. You are not the one who is saving lessons for oneself. I want to speak with Jesus of the Bible, Jesus of the truth. Thinking about and reminiscing on your words. You clearly stated: “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” 1 Take that in mind, dear reader, we are certainly not alone as we are seeking the guidance. As I am writing these lines, I am thinking about you too. We are searching together. Warmth in my soul expands to every living cell within the system, which can be characterised as my material existence. Reasoning will not be rejected, on the contrary. Every statement and thought translated into the form of words will not be without a backbone in some part of human experience. Gifts of science, art, orderliness, which originate in the nature of human beings, is stemming from you. As it is in your case, so it is from every other soul who is willing to listen, not to forget itself. I am reaching out to you, Jesus! Reaching out alone, in the solitude of my room and in front of everyone. Everything about you is far from lies from fraudulent mouth. As you said: “So do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.” 2 Throughout history, religion has been the lever of authorities. Religion attributed noble causes to the war. Promised land must be returned, re-conquered. Behind the Crusaders, I am convinced, roses did not flourish. Even in times of peace, religion maintains a social balance. Anesthesia of thoughts. Religion was striving and still is trying to calm the voices of revolutionaries. Revolution shouldn’t be associated only with the war effort. They even proclaimed you as the founder of religion that is now in a safe distance away from what you showed by your own example. Lord, you are the revolutionist! Revolutionist of thoughts, doings, directing us towards principles which are underlying the cosmos itself! What is earth in vast universe; what are societies in this miniature of a planet? You divided time like a red apple. In accordance with the function of religion, model of you is created, dear teacher. I’m searching for you in order to clear my sight; I want others to see more clearly too. Forest is dense. Speak again; tell the story again! Society shaped a picture of you, painted and framed it in the marriage of religion and the s
