Hilarion: It is such a beautiful question.
Can maybe Athena answer that?
Athena: To you dear ones, there are so many ways to approach this question. But, to invite that there is a forgiveness and a lovingness in you for asking it. You cannot ask from this place of oneness, because there is no question in the place of oneness. There is no separation. There is no question and its answer; they are both one and the same. But, this does not answer your question.
The real answer to this question is in the place in which you actually accept, in which you actually receive that the question and the answer are one. That you and the separated self are one. That the forgiveness to allow suffering in your life, to allow the illusion of separation, that that forgiveness goes so deep as to a place in which you actually become grateful for it. How wonderful to look externally when I was blind to what I was inside. How wonderful to receive in the form of a question, that which I always knew as my answer, as me.
Often times those answers take you back, over and over, to the same place. A beautiful place of love. A beautiful place of knowing that that love not only has always been but that it is the place of gratefulness. As if then to hold this in the place in which the paradox allows you to laugh, to play at it, to hold that at the very level at which you are willing to ask, willing to look outside, there is somebody asking, "Who is asking; who wants to know?" As you recognize that being, you can laugh with the asking, laugh with the answer. But know that at its core, there is a love, a Being that has always loved. For that Being also loves the child in you, and the old one in you, and all of those parts of you, God parts every one of them.
There have been sayings throughout time of these matters. That some have also been in sound and song.
Tones....
Hilarion: Yes, Hilarion here again. We thank you Athena for your willingness to share this energy and perspective, and acknowledge this constant process of transformation by which the questions lead inevitably to forgiveness, inevitably to gratefulness.
