Hi Blue Totem,
"In fact, it looks like God decides who gets to see the truth for themselves. A knowledge out of this world, that belongs to only a few. Maybe God wants
it like that. A knowledge that can't be accepted, or forced. A knowledge that has to be experienced and lived."
If it cannot be forced, then God is not deciding. In fact god does not force. That is why we do not all find this knowledge. Not all of us are interested in
it.
Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without EXCUSE:"
The signs are all around us and the invitation is also. It belongs to only a few because only a few are interested.
This world is not "illusion". It a a book of symbols bringing a message from Spirit. All that we see is a message to us from the Spirit if we just
learn to listen.
Most look at the symbols (the things of "this world"), and call them reality.
A few learn to look behind the symbols and read the Spirit.
God does not force anything. He allows us to choose. But if we decide to turn back home He runs to meet us while we are "still a long way off
and falls on our neck and kisses us."
That is the parable of the "Prodigal Son."
