Hello, my name is Andy,
Most of my close friends know I call “God”: THE DUDE.
THE DUDE is very real presence in this world. This is the truth of how I entered into the Truly Astoundingly Miraculous! I will show you tangible evidence and proof of the most mind-bending stuff ever experienced in life…. that is for lack of a better word, simply Miraculous. Some of the stuff I will tell you is beyond human logic, beyond the scope of human reasoning, bending space, time and the laws of quantum physics. I have had many teachers, many of them shall remain nameless. It is my greatest hope that from honestly sharing my experience, you discover what I have. Which is in my humble opinion, The single Greatest discovery you can make in this world. It is common misconception that miracles only happen once in a great while. That miracles are by chance or luck. I assure you; they can experience perpetually many times a day. I assure you, nothing in this life compares; not sex, prestige, money, fame, riches or anything else compares to it. It is the Grandest Adventure of all time.
And that is where journey begins…….
First, I want you to know I didn’t set out in life to find God and wasn’t even looking for Him. For a very long time in my life, I really struggled with the idea of God. I was certain if there was a God, He sure didn’t like me. Everyone seemed to have this concept of who God was and what you had to do if you wanted to be on His good side and all these assortments of rituals and prayers that if performed correctly and you happened to get Gods attention and into His Good Graces? God gave you a new House, a new truck, a loving partner, money in the bank, a vacation in Hawaii and the good life. And if He really liked you, you won the Powerball jackpot.I remember standing in my living room feeling completely lost and broken inside while this evangelist on the TV beat his hand on the pulpit and screamed with spit flying out of his mouth into the TV, you need to repent, or you are going to Hell! I felt so trapped and lost in my life at the time. I was already in hell and sure as heck didn’t need some fella on the TV screaming at me about it. The whole thing was very confusing. To me it seemed it was a never-ending sea of perversion. I thought if there is a God. He sure had a lot of rules, and He sure didn’t like me. I was very angry about how my life turned out and God didn’t seem to give a crap. I very rarely prayed other than the Genie in a bottle method. You know? make a wish to get out of trouble and hoped it worked. most of the time that never worked.
Then one day I met a very cool dude who just wanted to be my friend. I wasn’t looking for God. but I sure needed a friend at the time. He wasn’t an ordained anything. Although, I didn’t know it at the time, I found out much later, He is a Christian. We went out to coffee. He started asking me about my life and for the first time in a very long time, I felt safe, and it just started coming out of me. I told him everything and how felt so lost in life. It was as if I had stepped into some rickety old dinner confessional. He sat and looked at me with the eyes of compassion and empathy quietly for a while. I apologized and said, oh i didn’t mean to say all that.
Then He looked me in the eyes and said, my friend, what you need Is God! I laughed and said God????? I don’t want anything to do with that Dude! Nobody will ever be good enough for God. The preacher screams on the tv and beats his hands on the Pulpit and says we are all going to hell! I am never going to be good enough. God would strike me down with a bolt of lightning me down for telling a dirty joke I heard. God never answered any of my prayers. God doesn’t even know who I am. I held up my finger and said IF God is real? He don’t give a crap about us.
He started laughing and I about walked out. He said I’m laughing with you not at you. I felt the same way most of my life. I sat back down, and He said would you do me a favor? I said sure. He said, I want to know what you know about God. Get a notebook and write everything you ever heard about God down. Everything you ever read and everything anyone told you about God and everything you ever experienced. When are you done? Give me a call, I want you to come over and read it to me so I can learn about God.
So, I did that. I wrote everything I had ever heard, read, experienced and seen about God in my life. I wrote a total of 54 pages. How God was giant asshole in the sky and demanded that we do all this stuff all the time to make happy or we were going hell. To wit, matter how hard we tried, we could do all that he ever demanded to please Him.
When i finished, I called my new friend and said I wrote it all down. He said, Thats Great! I look forward to hearing all about it. Are you free Saturday around 3pm? I said Yes, sure am. He said OK, cool. Come on over to my house then, bring your notebook and you can tell me all you know about God.
On Saturday, I grabbed my notebook and went over to his house. When I got there, He greeted me with a smile and asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee. I said you bet! He said follow me to the kitchen. We poured a cup of coffee, and he said grab your cup and your notebook. I have a bonfire out back let’s sit by the bonfire and you can read all you know about God to me. I am excited to hear all about it.
So, I sat there and read all that I had ever learned, was told, experienced and read about God. When I finished my new friend said to me. Is that everything???? I said yep. So now you know why I don’t want anything to do with that God fella. He looked at me smiled and said, throw that notebook in the bonfire. I said what? He said throw that notebook in the bonfire. I looked at him hesitantly then tossed it in the fire. We sat in silence and watched it burn.
Once it was all ash and no longer. My new friend got up, said wait here I have something for you. He went in the house and came out with a new notebook and a pen. He said here. Take this pen and open to the first page of the notebook. I did. He said write these three words down. All Capitol letters:
GOD IS LOVE.I opened the notebook and wrote at the top of the first page. GOD IS LOVE. I turned the notebook and showed him. He said, Perfect. Will you do me another favor? I said sure. He said Now for the next 60 days every time you see an example of love in the world around you as you go about your day. I want you to write it down under that first sentence. Would you do that for me? I said, I can do that.
For the next 60 days I looked for examples of love in the world.
I saw a boy throw a ball for a dog and the dog fetched it and brought it back. The boy laughed, smiled and hugged the dog saying Good Boy! Good Boy. I thought, that is love. So, I wrote it down.I saw a man hold the door for a lady at the convenience store and I thought, oh that is a form of love. So, I wrote it down. I saw an elderly couple walking in the park holding hands. I thought Oh there is love too.
I was at the grocery store, and I saw a man helping an elderly lady load up her groceries and then return her grocery cart for her. I thought oh that is love too and I wrote it down. My girlfriend made me dinner and I thought oh, that is love. So, I wrote it down.
After 60 days, I wrote over 200 examples of love in the world around me. It got to the point where all I could see was Love. Everywhere I looked I saw nothing but examples of Love around me in the world.
Excitedly, I called my friend and said I wrote it all down! Wow! I never notice how much love in this world! He laughed said come on over! I want to hear all about it! When I got there, He said, let sit in the living room. I followed him into the living room. There, I read all about the Love I had seen in the world around me in the last 60 days . After I finished, he said is that it? I said yeah man. It’s gotten to the point that all I see is love! love! Love everywhere I go!
He smiled and said no, that is not what you are seeing! I got upset and said No? I am telling you the truth man! All I see is love in the world around me! He smiled got up and came over and said He said turn to the first page. I turned my notebook back to the first page; he pointed his finger on the first line written in it. No sir. You are seeing God! Pointing to the first three words I had written down.
GOD IS LOVE!
I sat back and my mind reeled. I could barely breath. I didn’t know what to say. I could not deny that I saw God all around me, every day. I was aghast with tears streaming down my face. That day I was truly Reborn.
After a long silence I wiped the tears from my face and I said, I have a question. He said ask away my friend. I said what is Gods name? My friend turned to me and said, what would you call God? I said Duuuude, I don’t know. My friend laughed and said I think God would answer to that. I laughed and said THE DUDE!My friend raised his finger and said to me, NOW! if you do all that you see THE DUDE doing in the world around you? You are inside THE DUDE and THE DUDE is in you.
And that is where this journey begins…….
