One of the many characteristics of human beings is our obsession with the quid pro quo. What's in it for me? If I do this for you, what will you do for me? Many people want to take the same position with God. "All right, God," some would say. "If I buy into these so-called Simple Realities, what do I have to give up? What's in it for me? It may be a fair question.
We can make numerous observations that justify the statement that one does not have to be an obvious intimate of God to be successful, rich, and famous. Some men and women are rich and famous even when they do not appear to acknowledge God as the various cultures define God and characterize God. Indeed, some men and women appear powerful and successful only because they are without God.
But God's standards for a healthy happiness are not the same as the standards of mortals where power, greed, and damaged ancestral memories motivate their behavior. Nevertheless, there is an essential quid pro quo with God.
A symbiotic relationship by definition requires reciprocity of gifts and rewards. Appropriately, our Symbiotic God does not accept without giving. God rewards those who share symbiotic relationships in the earthly part of His Experimental Design. A person who shares a symbiotic contract with God shares Spiritual Intimacy with God, earns spiritual wealth, and earns a share of God's Earthly rewards and God's Eternal Wealth through the blessings of Symbiotic Grace.
God does not co-exist with us in three-dimensional form. Therefore, God's gifts and rewards are not always apparent to a people who base our definitions of success on a three-dimensional reality of gifts and rewards. God's Power in its purest form is His Authority over energy. He can chastise us with too much of it if He desired it. He can deprive us of as much as He likes if that were His Wont. And He can reward us with as much of a superior quality of it as He likes.
When we are in a harmonious symbiotic relationship with God, He rewards us with gifts of purer energies that enrich the physical, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual qualities of our lives--the essence of Earthbound happiness.
Grounded in a symbiotic relationship with God , we do not experience chronic emotional and spiritual ambiguity and discord. We are free from these chronic diseases of the spirit because we understand God's need for us in The Experiment on this experimental garden we call Earth. We understand His Desire for us to be genuinely happy and His need for a symbiotic relationship with the human life form in perpetuity.
Selah.
