Opening
Dear child, it is always a pleasure to speak with you. You are becoming more real every day. In saying that I do not mean to imply that you were not less real before. What I mean to say is that as you feel my love move through you and the love of the Eternal One you become ever more real. You become ever more real because you feel the spirit of unconditional love flowing through you.
Lesson
I am indeed the living vine. Anyone that wants to graft themselves onto that living vine I am glad to accept. This vine is not finite in origin. There is enough room for anyone that wants to be grafted onto that vine. There is enough room because there is an infinite amount of room to allow for further graftings.
Each and every day, my child, you are being taught how to love as the Father loves. Right now you are being taught this love through my example. For it is true that such way of loving is being taught to you, my finite children. I know how to express this unconditional love. I have been touched by this unconditional love in such a way that I can help you to express this as well.
When you first begin to taste this love for the first time it feels like you are soaring above the earth. You are soaring above the earth and you are seeing all of your brethren down below. There are no borders. There are no boundaries. There are no walls. You see your brethren as I see them. You see your brethren as the Eternal One sees them.
Have you ever seen a vine filled with grapes? When they are ripe you long to pick them. You long to take that grape and to eat it. You experience the refreshing sweetness and the juiciness of the grape as it goes down your throat. You often come back to this vine for further sustenance. Every time you eat of the fruit of that vine you once more feel refreshed and rejuvenated. You keep coming back over and over again to experience that sweet delectable fruit.
It matters not that you keep coming back to that vine to take in more sustenance. It does not mean that you are greedy. The more that you come back to that living vine the less greedy you become. For when you eat of the fruit of this vine you are learning the lessons of unconditional love. My living fruit is the Spirit of Truth that moves within all of you. When you repeatedly come back looking for more I gladly comply. I give and I give and I give and I give some more. I give as much as it takes. I give repeatedly. For as I give and you receive I see the fruits of such an arrangement. My living spirit is finer than any fruit of the earth. Any grape that grows on the vine gives much pleasure to mankind, but not more than the pleasure that my living fruit can give you. This living fruit is so delectable, so sweet. This living fruit that you take in from me will cause you to soar above the earth.
Don’t you know my children that you can become a part of that living vine? People all around you will see that your fruit is ripe and ready for picking. They will yearn to come to you over and over again because you have fruit that bears the telltale signs of eternity. They can see it moving within you. Such movements catch their eyes. They wonder why they are so attracted to you. Is there a light coming from you that others do not possess? They move towards you, and you hand them a freshly picked bowl of grapes. You say, ‘Eat it, it is delicious.’
Each and every day my living Spirit moves through you. Each and every day my living vine cultivates the fruit that you are producing. I pick a grape off of your vine and I eat it. I feel its sweetness and its juiciness slide down my throat. I keep coming back over and over again to taste of your sweet fruit. You see my children, you are becoming cultivators in your own right. You are becoming a living vine of your own. You are becoming such that all of your brethren flock towards you. You give and you give and you give until you cannot give anymore. And then you give some more after that. You are such that all the birds of heaven lodge in your branches. Your living vine is becoming lush and beautiful.
You are attaching yourselves to the living vine. This living vine is leading you towards eternity. This living vine is leading you down the path of infinity. It brings me such pleasure to see my children awakening everywhere. I am filled with so much joy and so much pride. These are my children. They are growing. They are growing on the living vine and I take such tender care of them. Can any parent adequately express their joy when they see their children growing? I see you, my children, in a different light. You are displaying the fruits of the Eternal One. You are becoming like that One more and more every day.
One day you shall produce your own fruit separate from me. You will no longer need to be grafted onto my living vine. You shall not be grafted onto my living vine for you shall become a living vine yourselves. This is what I am teaching you to become my children. I am teaching you to become your own living vine so that all of your brethren may come to you. They shall be grafted onto your living vine and your Eternal Father shall be so proud of you. I will be beaming with such pride. I will be beaming with such pride because you accepted the sweet fruit of my living spirit. This Spirit moved within you producing your own vine.
Closing
For now my children stay attached to my living vine. Feel my dynamic Spirit move within you. Feel your fruit becoming ripe and ready to eat. Give of yourselves freely. Share yourselves liberally. For your sweetness comes not from the juiciness of eating a fresh grape. Your sweetness comes from the unconditional love that shines from you like the sun. For I am the living vine. I graft to that vine all that come to me freely. There is room enough for everyone. Come to me my children and I shall be there. Come to the living vine and I shall graft you in. Go my children and be a living vine to all of your brethren. Be in my peace.
