To write a book on the "Genesis of Awareness" and "Wisdom in the Evening of Life" is no easy chore for us, my niece Maria and myself. One has barely any time to write an article for the Homer News. To write a book consumes still more time than an entire year. Your comments and some computer work would take a large burden off our shoulders. (Call me at 235-7401 or write Box 3114, Homer.)

Today let's share a strong inner voice I hear this early morning: "It's all within yourself, just listen and do it." One cannot fail.

Well? What about our publication on awareness? I am aware, that means I feel a consciousness one can neither grasp nor put into a frame of reference. Awareness by the way, is consciousness.

As always, Jesus Christ responds via my Paraclete Saint German, who I first met at Shasta in California more than 50 years ago. St. German simply tells me: "Consciousness is the soul."

Wau, I call out. That's veracity. Why? Like awareness equivalently a soul one can neither grasp nor comprehend. But in the soul is God in you. It looks like we are writing a book about God. That's incredible. St. German, my heavenly friend, back me up. Consult me.

If consciousness is the soul and the soul is part of the eternal God in us, then also our conscious awareness must be eternal.

But we are not God ourselves? What's next? It's simple: "Just walk into yourself, listen and do it." Do what? Unfold Genesis 1:27, "So God created human beings making them to be like himself."

It's all within yourself, and that is true, because God lives in you.
