The Godward Way

Writing by Adam G.Since 2026

The Godward Way.

The highest form of spirituality.

Catch whatever arrives — anger, fear, desire, joy — and offer it to the One who made you. Catch and Offer is what every religious teaching has been reaching for: the operating system of life, and the only path to a meaningful life and to eternity. It is more powerful than magic, manifestation or reality-bending, because it does not bend the world toward you. It turns you toward God.

The movement

  1. 01Separation

    “You are separate from God so that you can turn toward God.”

  2. 02Desire

    “The Godward Way locates the final address of this hunger in God.”

  3. 03Offering

    “I do not need to escape what I experience. I can take everything that comes to me and turn it toward the One who created me.”

  4. 04Return

    “Your return becomes meaningful precisely because you could have turned somewhere else.”

Cleansing the soul: the soul cleans itself. It’s called self-awareness. Self-consciousness.
How is that!

Naked soul. Nothing attached to it.
Every vine leaf covering the naked is living someone else’s reality.
The most elegant model, the picky dresser who thinks that this is his or her self, would walk naked on an island if living alone.

The self is naked.
And that’s the starting point.

Strip off the vine leaves.
Take off the clothes and go into the river.
Come out clean from all attachments and fake identities.

Now the soul is awakened.
It’s time.
The eye will open.

The soul, the self, the consciousness is now free to choose any reality in any dimension.
Higher dimensions mean all possibilities.
The soul is a multidimensional entity.
The body is limited to the three-dimensional world.
It is like a sponge that attracts the realities that all other souls have assumed/realized/manifested.

The soul chooses to be tied to the body to experience the manifested realities of other souls.
It’s the window, the screen, the book that the soul gets immersed in.
Similar to getting hooked on a good book or a movie, the soul gets hooked on the experiences of other souls’ assumed realities through the body (the TV, the paper, the radio box).

It’s a subtle dance between the two worlds.
Sometimes the assumed realities are so absorbing that the soul forgets itself.
It’s a subtle dance to enjoy the book, even living and experiencing it, without becoming it.

Yes, I know that the best way to enjoy a book or a movie is to live it as if it’s our own reality.
It’s called immersion.
After all, that’s the whole point of choosing to have a body.
The more we experience it, the more the mission is accomplished.

As a soul that lives multidimensionally, that can assume any reality, the question is: why create a new reality?
Creating a new reality means not experiencing the world that the soul chose to experience.
Why change the destination mid-journey?!

Maybe the goal, after all, is not to create a new reality, but to be aware that this life in this body is all about the experience.

The subtle dance of experiencing reality while altering it to explore even more.
That’s the choice of participating in giving reality to the material world so that other souls can experience it.
Manifesting reality is an act of connection.
I imagine a music note, I compose it, I play it, and the world gets to experience it in the newly created reality.
That’s the mechanism.

But what reality or experience am I supposed to assume/create/manifest?
Anything that I create based on my current reality (a better job, a newer phone, more money in my account) is just tinkering with existing assumed realities.
My soul doesn’t necessarily need any of that.

So what does the soul actually need?
If the soul has the power to do anything by creating new realities, how can it choose anything?

That’s why it needs to direct its attention to the Father: God consciousness.
Because the origin of all souls, the tree of all the branches, is the real experiencer.
He has a purpose for each soul.
And realizing the connection with Him will position the soul in the right experience, whether already manifested, or needing self-proclaimed adjustments to be exactly as it’s intended.

The reality that each soul needs to create is the reality that it came to this body to experience.
The goal is not to change the car, nor the street, but to be a pro: a capable, resourceful, confident, skilled, and wise driver.

Connect with the source. Bring your attention to God the Father, and the best reality will be attracted to you.

Correction and clarification: we don’t replace a meditation mantra with God.

A mantra is a thought, albeit faint. God is not a thought.

We point our direction to the connection of God, the thought of God as the source.

Adam G.@adam

When we pray the Godward way, we close our eyes. Relax our bodies. And rest.

We don’t go straight to the Holy of Holies. We first observe thoughts. Take our time to understand what constitutes a thought. We then choose a thought that we are familiarized with; that could be a mantra, for example.

Now we know what a thought is. How a thought originates: memories, emotions, sensations, etc.

That leads us to recognize that God is not like that. So we don’t just direct our attention to God, as if He were another thought.

But how can we point our attention to something that is not inside our mind?

That’s when the prayer starts.

We go beyond.
We transcend.
Beyond the words. The language. The thought.

We go to that place that gives birth to all of them.
That place is our consciousness.
That’s the Holy of Holies.
That’s where we can meet God’s consciousness.

But we are not the same. We are not equal.
We are connected.
Like a tree branch connected to the tree trunk.
They share the sap. But they are not equal.

It’s all directional.
It’s a connection.

But connection through what?
Through what we know about God.

He is the Father.
The source.
To whom we belong.
Whose identity is concealed. He is not a thought. (His name is hallowed.)
To whose will we surrender.
To whom we open our hearts so He can flow through us. (As in heaven, so on earth.)
Whom we trust to take care of us at any given moment, as we perceive our reality as a moment that’s just happening now.
By whom we are cleansed of any guilt that accumulates inside us.
Whom we ask that we don’t fall into the temptation of containing Him as a thought, and using the great power of His connection to serve lesser thoughts, including ourselves.
Whom we ask to protect us from adversary forces that want to pull us away and sever the connection.
Whose kingdom, power, and glory we recognize. Now and forever.

That’s what we address. That’s the gate that we connect to.
That’s not God. That’s the connection that we can perceive.

The tree branch cannot perceive the tree trunk, but it can perceive the connection.

And through the connection, we pray.

Line drawing: the Tree of Life, ten circles joined by leafy boughs; from its lowest circle a single line descends as a branch into the head of a small, relaxed, smiling figure sitting cross-legged on calm waves.
Fig. 1 — The human operating system, a branch of the Tree of Life. Body: relaxed. Mind: happy — curiosity, equanimity, optimism. Soul: directed Godward, continuously oriented toward God the Father. Read the article →
