Sacrifice

In the ancient pagan world, sacrifice was thought to be pleasing to the Gods and so people sacrificed all kinds of material things as well as sometimes the life of someone upon the altar of their favorite deity. This in understandable since mankind was more so of the barbarian mentality in that day and sacrifice, they honored, they understood. I think it was because of the hardness of their hearts that such extreme sacrifices were expected.  

In today's world there are some who think that sacrifice is of great value, albeit they might not want to see lives sacrificed. Yet even today much virtue is heaped upon those who give of themselves in a sacrificial way.   The harder a thing is for one to do, the more glory kind of reasoning.

We certainly can honor the lives of people such as Gandhi and Mother Teresa and Peace Pilgrim, to name just three of them,  all of whom gave a substantial part of their lives in service to others.   Peace Pilgrim had given up everything that she owned, and carried only a change of clothes and paper and pen.  She vowed to walk for peace and until there was peace in the world she would walk until given shelter, and fast until given food.  You can look up Peace Pilgrim on Google and learn of her. She was one intense woman who cared much about there being peace in our world.  Yet she did not advocate that anyone do what she was doing. She advised people of how they could give of their time and money or talent but never did she compare her kind of sacrifice with what she would  expect to see others do.    

When enough people do even a little bit, there becomes no need for anyone to have to sacrifice.  I would encourage anyone to use their talents as Jesus said in the Bible whether we have but one talent, or five or ten.  To do something is enough when everyone is willing to do their part,  be it a big thing that they do or small, for who can tell what the smallest thing having been done will produce.  I have even heard of people share that they were ready to commit suicide and the smile someone flashed them turned them from doing it.  Yes, so simple a thing.

So with this New Age and the interest we have in evolving ourselves, studying books of esoteric knowledge, and working on knowing just who we are, there is a seeming sense of it being a more or less selfish act, just to work on oneself in trying to become an awakened individual.  It is in my humble opinion, that a form of sacrifice is actually taking place, however it is not obvious.  I say this because when delving into our own physic we confront our inner demons and that is not always an easy thing to do.  I actually think that the angels in heaven applaud our work with our ego,  moreso  when we can at last admit, "yes, I have said this all my life and now I see that I have been wrong" even more than if we had hosted a meal for a thousand hungry people.  That kind of change in an individual is the biggest challenge to those who guide us respecting our free will. It's like, for instance,  if our space brothers could come aid us with their advanced knowledge to clean up the pollution we have made in our world, it would not be a great blessing to us unless the people who made it can change, for it will just start all over again with nothing learned or changed in the hearts of the ones polluting.   

I think that the change that must come is not actually a ‘doing thing' but is the inner work we can all do whether there is anyone around to applaud our doing it or not. It is when there is an understanding within our very heart, that how we think about things is most important.  Why, because we are creating with our thoughts and this we do whether we know that we are doing it or not.  I believe in the saying in the Bible where it is said, "Let the weak say "I am strong" and let the poor say "I am rich".  We attract to us what we believe to be true.  If we have a pessimist attitude, we will meet other pessimistic people. If we believe that everyone out there is out to steal from us, those people will show up in our lives.  People will live up to our expectations of them.  A man is as we choose to see him.  The world will not change until we change our perception of it. 

There is a mysterious force within us that is the power that manifest things in our lives.  I think that it is our subconscious.  The subconscious mind does not originate ideas.  It is like the feminine part of God.   Jesus referred to it when he said, "Greater is he that is within me than he that is in the world."  The subconscious part of us is  a powerhouse but one that has to have the positive thought of the conscious part of us,  to suggest things to it.  The part of us that is in the world is the conscious part that only sees physical objects and that can do nothing of itself.  Like Jesus said, "I of myself can do nothing, it is the father within me that does these great works."  One could say that they are conscious of God within their thinking, but it is also important to know that God is in our subconscious as well awaiting our awakening  so that we can do  the even greater things. 

The next frontier is an inner frontier and it is every bit as exciting as the Wild West, moreso.  It is largely unexplored.  It awaits us to desire knowing it. 

Anyone who had witnessed what hypnosis can do to people under it's spell well know that the subconscious can create all kinds of beliefs when it is suggested to.  I have seen people under hypnosis hold a rock which is very light and then be told it is actually too heavy to pick up and they will drop it.  It matters not to the subconscious the truth or the falseness of whatever is suggested to it, for it does it's mysterious work at the command of the conscious thought being suggested to it. 

It is important that we work on ourselves, important to the entire world and not just this world but all worlds. When we can change something about ourselves, we are being of great service because we add to a momentum of change that is going on in an unseen way, not obvious to our physical eyes, but important enough to make all the difference in the world.  You might say, "send me 100 people who can fund raise and buy food and transport it to the hungry in Africa" but would it not be better to send just one who can multiply the bread and teach others that they also can multiply the bread. One such as this had done his inner work.  This multiplying the bread  is something that Jesus did on more than one occasion, a thing like he said we also could do.  Yet you don't see it being done and one has to wonder.  Is it just not the right time, or have we not believed that we could follow in Jesus's footsteps. 

There is so much that seems to be wrong in our world that would take great sacrificial work on the part of many of us to resolve, if there ever would be enough people willing to devote themselves to the work.  Even then, it would be like putting a band aid on a gaping wound. 

We have to do our inner work, to come to that place where we can speak forth the word and see that that word does not come back to us void, but that it accomplishes what we send it out to do. That is our heritage.  That is what we are come to do. It is a higher law that has been practiced by many adepts and once anyone has done a thing, it becomes a doable thing.  We await a savior to come and rescue us, but what if that savior is our own self?  I think that it is.

  

I would like to see the marriage of spirituality and science.  The other night I listened to 
                   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpRU4bOpzD0&feature=related
                                                                     THIS
 on YouTube Broadcast Yourself.   Several of these videos entitled "The Secret of the Soul" with William Buhlman  are on this site and they are actually very good to listen to  for one can  obtain a better understanding of Consciousness from this man's experiences. I always thought of OOB experiences as phenomena that was just something that was perhaps entertaining, or comforting to those who experienced it, but if you listen to this you will see that this man researched the OOB experience in depth and with much inquiry and he  has some  very good information, much to much for me to get into in this dialogue......

I love finding out things that will strengthen me in my ability to KNOW Myself.  If someone ask me how far down the rabbit's hole I wanted to go, I would say "All the Way".  There is so much mystery that is for us to discover if we desire to and the discovery of much of it will benefit mankind is my opinion.   I just love working as what I call, "a bringer of the dawn' for I believe us to be right on the cutting edge of something that has never been done before, and posed at the threshold of it happening even in our lifetime perhaps.   

Another thing that I stand for is one of my favorite quotes, "Beliefs divide, Loving Words Unite"......

Thank you for yet another very good question. 

I think it was when I was being bothered by some poltergist activity, in a house that my husband and I had built.  I would hear the sound of the water running, the tiolet flushing and there would be no one in the bath room.  Then there was other stuff happening in the bathroom that involved my daughter catching the blame for it. The tooth paste would be all squeezed out on the floor, the tiolet paper thrown into the tiolet bowl, and just things scattered everywhere.  It was that everytime I walked into the bathroom, some sort of deed had been done. 

I actually thought that my daughter who was only about 4 at the time, was squeezing the toothpaste out of the tube, yet I never caught her in the act.  She always denied doing it. Nevertheless, as this was happening so often and was stressing us all so much, I decided to take her to a mental health clinic.  My husband had no answers and agreed that this was
a good idea. 

I told my husband that I thought it was something like a possessing spirit doing this stuff but he wrote that off and thought me to be quite weird that I even could think that way.  I went to the clinic with my daughter but instead of interviewing her, they interviewed me.  As it turned out I was thought to be the crazy one with the problem.  It was not long after this that my husband left me.  I had no support group to help me to deal with all of this and was now alone with the task of raising my two children by myself. 

It started me thinking of spiritual things, all that happened then, and in latter years I got my hands on some very good books, many of them.  But it was years later before any real understanding happened for I had to go into the survival mode after being left to raise my kids by myself and I had too many things to do that kept me from studying. .  I  now understand what had happened, well as good as anyone can understand things that are not very provable....and weird.....but it does not make me a weird person....

Also at that time, I realized that the church was not going to be a great source of information.

Love----------------All That Is
Love-----------------Holds everything together
Love------------------Rythmatic Balanced Interchange
Love........................Everywhere Present, All Knowing, All Powerful
Love.........................ONE Undivided
Love..................is an invisible, unchanging, unconditioned and unmeasurable quality
Love..... is mind, consciousness,  life, truth, desire, knowledge, power, balance & law.
Love  is within all things, without all things, and involved in all things
Love is the source of inspiration
"For I am Balance. And I am Energy, and I am Rest. I am the Light of Love and Truth. Upon that foundation have I laid the cornerstone of My universe."
Love is Me

I am both head and heart conscious but the heart is the one I pursue the most.  I think that often people can get caught up in the letter of the law and the letter of the law killeth, the Bible says.  That's because it is without love and without mercy.

But now I am finding some mighty heady things to read, things that have caused me to look into quantum physics and other of the sciences, YET what they are proving with their experiments and experiences are speaking to my Heart as well as my reason.  Also they are affecting both my reason and my emotion.  Science and spirituality are pairing up and it is beautiful.  I am glad that reason and emotion are beginning to be on an even playing field for it is not  so wonderful to have blind acceptance. 

I was looking for others with whom I could share my thoughts, and they theirs with me. At first I did not think I was going to like it as much as I now do, but it grows on you......and it is nice to have friends. It is a great outlet and has so much potential for even greater and greater uses, and experiments, and connecting, and relating....We can unite here in common pursuits that will be so powerful and are already. Much good is coming from Zaadz and there are loads of great people here. 

 
"Many shall seek to enter in and shall not, for strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life." WAS THIS  (ENTERING IN) SPOKEN ABOUT  our entering HEAVEN IN THE AFTERLIFE??????  I don't think so.....

I have never thought this to be so  for I have not been able to visualize so few making it to heaven. No, this is about something that is to happen here on our earth.

I think that this  'entering in at  the narrow gate'  is speaking of those few who willl incorporate this jewel that Jesus talks about in the following discussion that Jesus gave at a banquet attended by the author of this book, "The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East".

Jesus urges us to find our true dominion because it is a place where we can be secure and calm amid all the TURMOIL. (and turmoil is increasing every day)   and NOTE that it is not to be found by soaring off to a heaven above.......it is found right here and right now......by those who insist upon immediate and complete spiritual illumination and emancipation RIGHT HERE AND NOW.

Why so many people won't hear good news anymore (and believe it)  is because it sounds like only another theory to them.  People need to have demonstrations of this power at work by those few who will enter in at the narrow gate....for they  (WE) are the way showers.....and as Jesus said, 

" without this realization of the ideal, talking of it seems to be only a dream, a myth, a nothing. "

It is we ourselves WHO WE ARE WAITING ON.  Some think that we are waiting on Jesus to return. He has returned in those of  us who will incorporate his high ideas, who will be lifted up  (as was he) (and no not on a cross, lifted up as an example of one living the life) to show that the dominion he spoke of is  already at hand. 

We will calm the raging sea or tempest. We will overcome gravitation and levitate. We will
see the whithered arm be restored instantly.  We will multiply the bread. 

THESE THINGS ARE OUR BIRTHRIGHT, OUR INHERITANCE.

It profits us nothing to play small, to think that these things are far off into the future or that we will just wait to see another one begin to do these things.  I think we should let our minds be opened to the possibility that we ourselves will be the ones who will bring about God's Kingdom on Earth by our acceptance of this Jewel that Jesus speaks of in the following passage.  

PLEASE READ THIS AND SEE IF THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK JESUS IS ACTUALLY SAYING IN THE FOLLOWING.

............"Jesus was seated at the first table and the Priest at our table, with Emil and our Chief on either side.  This time there were but two long tables down the length of the room. There were no coverings but, as we were seated, the tables were covered with white linen and the service came on almost as quickly. The food seemed to come with the plates, with the exception of the bread. A loaf appeared on the table before Jesus. He picked it up and began breaking it, placing the pieces on a plate. When the plate was filled, a dim childish form lifted it and stood silent until seven plates had been filled and seven forms stood holding them. As Jesus broke the bread and filled the plates, the loaf did not diminish.

As the last plate was filled, Jesus arose and with outstretched hands said, "This bread which I present to you represents God's pure Life. Partake of that pure Life which is always of God." Then, as the bread was handed around, he went on to say, "When I said, "I am lifted up,' and that by being so lifted up I would draw all men to me, I knew that, in the light of that experience, some day all would see eye to eye and know full well when they could be lifted up as I am lifted. I saw heaven right here on earth among men. 

This is the Truth that I perceived and the Truth will make all free. Then they will find that there is but one fold and one shepherd; and if one strays, it is safe to leave all the ninety and nine, to seek the one that he may return. God may be all in all to all His children; and all are His - they are far nearer and dearer to Him than the sparrows or the lilies of the field. If he rejoices in the lilies' growth and notes the sparrow's fall, how much more does He note the growth of His dear children. Neither does He judge them more than He does the lilies or the sparrow, but holds them dear to His great cause and not one can be left out when His perfection is established.

"I could see that, if this ideal could be graven in letters of purest gold on the walls of the temples of the world's great thought, it would lift men's thoughts above the murk and mire by setting their feet on a rock, a sure foundation; where the winds and tides could lash and roar but, while men stood steadfast and true, they would be secure. Because of this security, peace, and calm they would aim to the heights where they see their true dominion.
They may soar above but they will not find heaven above. They will find it right among men, and it is not reached by merely plodding on and on, in toil and sorrow and great tribulation, and then eventually finding the great Jewel. It is much more quickly reached by throwing off all materiality and the laws that thereby bind men to the eternal wheel. Then step forth, you pick up the Jewel, incorporate it, let the light shine forth, and you have gained by ONE DIRECT STEP  that which you may put off through all eternity, if you will.

You will find that the soul which insist upon immediate and complete spiritual illumination and emancipation here and now and knows that his relation to God is the relation of parent and child, quickly sees that this not only makes clear the divine possibilities but that he has them to use and they will work for him as he wills. To that one, the New Testament story will not be fiction nor a vague dream that may happen after death but an ideal that is lifted up before the world, of a perfect realization of a life of love and service. That ideal is the divine accomplishment of all, here and now.

"Then will they know the vision I saw when I said, ‘Many shall seek to enter in and shall not, for strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life. For, without the true appreciation of the Christ Ideal and of the divine and perfect plan of the cooperation of man and God right here on this earth, the realization of this ideal is impossible and it becomes only a dream, a myth---nothing.

"The door giving access to this omnipotent and transforming alchemy of the Spirit in man is open to all at all times and the key to its opening is in the thoughts of all. When two ideals and methods of salvation or of securing the saving grace of God's love, are different, it is man's thoughts and not God that made them so. Those who close the door to the immediate blessing of God for all His children, isolate themselves from the immediate blessings that God bestows upon the Christ Child and from the spiritual illumination of the transcendent alchemy of Spirit and all potent powers which are theirs to use as the Christ would and should use them.

When men recognize this, the leper will be made whole instantly, the withered arm will be restored, and all diseases of body and mind will vanish at their touch. Through the concentration of the spoken word, they will multiply the loaves and fishes; and as they break the bread or pour the oil for the multitude, it will never diminish but there will always be an abundance left.  They will calm the raging sea or tempest by their command and gravitation will be overruled by levitation, for their command is the command of God.

Then will they know my thoughts when I gave forth my opening message to the world as I left the temple that day, when I said, ‘the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand.' And, ‘have faith in God and nothing is impossible to you.' All who believe they can do the works that I do and will come forth and do them may do even greater works than I have done.  They will know that it is a process of living the life, believing and knowing; then absolutely nothing is impossible to them.

"They will know that the Holy Spirit, the whole of the Divine Spirit in them, says today just as it did long ago that, if they hear its voice and harden not their hearts, they will find they are the light of the world and they that follow that light shall not walk in darkness. They will know that they are the door by which all enter into the light of life and those who will go in and out by that door will find eternal peace and great joy and will discover that now is the accepted time.

"They will find that the Christ but opens the door to their own souls and the spirit that dwells therein is the all-potent alchemy as limitless as the universe of God is limitless. The alchemy will dissolve and transmute all manner of sickness; will erase clean the mortal life of guilt and the effects of sin; will illuminate the soul with the perfect light of Wisdom; will emancipate from and dissolve the darkened conditions of human life into the perfect light of life. Thus, they will see they are not only children of nature but children of God as well. They will bring forth the absolute perfection of the individual and thus will perfect the race. They will bring forth the ideal and the divinely inspired prophecy concerning the final destiny of man here on earth, the identity of Father and Son, which is the second birth, the perfect mastery of man over every condition and circumstance."

Here Jesus paused and the lights became brighter and brighter. Then pictures began to appear. The scenes were glorious bursts of splendor. The pictures would come on, a transforming hand would reach out and touch them, and they would develop into a great whole and become beautiful.

There came on a great war scene. We saw men struggling and fighting against each other. The cannons were belching forth flames and smoke. Shells burst overhead and among the great throng and men were falling on every hand. We could hear the roar and din of battle. Indeed, it was so real that it seemed certain a battle was in progress but, as the transforming hand reached out and over it, all became calm in an instant. As those who had been fighting so furiously but a moment before looked up, the hand traced in flaming letters that seemed to spread over the whole scene: "Peace, Peace, the Blessed Peace of God surrounds you. You can only hurt and destroy the mortal. But one of God's own you can not destroy and you are all His own children. You can neither hurt nor destroy each other."

Then, for a moment, it seemed that men were again determined that the struggle should proceed; this determination showed on many faces, especially those of the leaders. But it appeared that the more determined they became to go on, the less cause there seemed to be for a display of force. It also seemed that the more they attempted to discharge the weapons of destruction, the less effect they had; for try as they would, not a weapon could be used.

Then the hand went on to trace, "Behind every cloud or storm or war, if men will only look, they will find God. They will find that God did not create the clouds of storm or war that man created them and, if they will look beyond and see, they will always find God's hand upraised in peace. War is not sent or ordained by God; when men war with each other they are entirely outside of God's province or power. They are entirely immersed in a man made realm where God cannot interfere in any way and they will be obliged to go on in this way until they see the fallacy of such strife. If one is sufficiently strong in his realization of God power, knows his ability to co-operate with that power, and does cooperate, he can stop a war instantly, just as you saw it stopped in this picture."

Then Jesus continued, "I chose the way of the cross. It was not my Father's choice for me but my choice, that all might see they can so perfect the life and body that although it be destroyed it can be rebuilt and become more triumphant."

‘The lights grew even brighter, until every vestige of limitation had disappeared; not a wall surrounded us, not a roof overhead, not a floor beneath. We all stood together in boundless space. The twelve disciples came and arranged themselves near the Great Master but did not surround him, for his presence stood out far more prominently than any other, with a never-to-be-forgotten brilliance and purity. The invisible choir boomed out, "His Kingdom is here, for, of, and among men. Now henceforth and forever, one man, one God." The transforming hand again appeared and traced the words, "His Kingdom is here now, among men, henceforth, forever, one man, one God." Then directly over Jesus' head were traced the words, "ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL."

Buddha then appeared, standing at Jesus' right. The Priest and Emil walked to them and knelt before them. Emil at Buddha's right and the Priest at Jesus' left. Jesus clasped Buddha's partly upraised hand. They raised their free hands until these were over and just above the heads of the two who were kneeling and said, "Peace! Peace! Peace! A glorious peace rest over all. We receive you, our dear brothers, into the great council of God's beneficent Love; and that Love and Fellowship includes the whole world." Then all those assembled bowed their heads and made way as the four passed through the assembly. As they passed, the disciples and a number of those assembled followed and all passed on until they disappeared from our vision.

When they had begun moving through the assembly, the invisible choir had chanted, "We make way for these mighty brothers of Love; for that Love, the mighty Love of God, redeems and unites all mankind in the great council of God's Love, the Brotherhood of Man and God." As they passed from view, the great bell boomed out twelve strokes. Then, for a moment, the bells pealed a merry refrain and thousands of voices joined in; "We bring the glad New Year and a brighter day for all the world."

Our second year with these great souls had closed.

I am so glad that I have friends here on Zaddy.  I have been without the ability to communicate on the Internet because of making a move from one house to another and WOW, do we people ever tend to collect too much of everything, too many clothes, too many toys for the kids, too many books, too many televisions, ect..... it is such a chore to move all that stuff around and WOW again, for I found that I was very much out of shape to go into high gear and work so hard.  I mean, I did it and all, but golly Gee, I got so tired and became so aware that I need to be more active and not spend quite so much time just sitting at my computer too long....

So I bought a bicycle to ride with the grandkids here in the new neighborhood.  I decided to drink more water and to eat healthier so that I can get into better shape. 

I found myself reflecting on some of the things I have read here on Zaddy as I went about my moving of boxes of stuff from one place to another.  I pondered what it means to be able to express your thoughts, your opinions, your ideas and to do this so freely as we can do it here on Zaddy.  And it matters not if we don't always find agreement,  maybe it is even good when we don't because it causes us to stretch a bit and consider that maybe we can re-think a few things that our attention has been brought to.  When we can express without a great fear of censorship then we are bound to make some progress.

I was reflecting on something Amadon said in a blog about "Your Truth, My Truth, Hitler's Truth, and I remembered that he had stated something about not liking the idea of "we can agree to disagree".... I was thinking that this is actually a very good saying  if one sees it as a way to have unity in diversity.  We are all so alike and also so different in what we like and what we consider as truth.  One person's truth is not truth to another.  If we have absolute truths, what are they? Who makes them law?  Who gets to say what will be these established truths.....????  I mean we could have a perfect world if everyone honored some absolute truths, or maybe not.   Maybe perfection is LIMITATION. 

And as I thought of this I began remembering a movie I had seen where Robin Williams plays the part of a robot.  I think the movie was called, "The Millennium Man" or something like that.  Anyway Robin Williams in this movie is a robot who survives the family that first bought him new from the factory and as each new successive family acquires him the capabilities of man making better and better human looking robots increases to the point that Robin Williams the robot, can take a form that causes him to look just like a human being,  only he is still a robot. Yet he learns skills that make him rich and he is able to pay the person who owns him for his freedom so that he can be his own person. He is very successful in life, has great wealth and great health and skills that make him a very valuable asset to mankind.  He outlives his wives and remains young and vigorous as they age until finally he thinks that this is not happiness to him. So he becomes quite desperate to be human so that he can grow old with his current wife and die someday. 

It becomes something that can be done for him.  He find that there is a way that he can be made capable of growing old and dying so he gets this done to himself.  There is a ceremony and he given an honorary award and declared to be a human.   When he makes his speech at the ceremony given in his honor he says these words, words that have stayed with me these many years and caused me to ponder their meaning often.   He said, "I WOULD RATHER LIVE AND DIE AS AN IMPERFECT HUMAN, THAN TO LIVE FOREVER IN A WORLD AS A  PERFECT ROBOT. 

If we were to have some kind of Perfect World, where everyone agreed on everything they believed, would we not be like a robot in that world.  It would be the same as being tradition bound...."Why do we do this this way, we don't know, it's just tradition".  Maybe the idea of perfection is a ideal of limitation.  When anyone with a different viewpoint can not voice it for fear of violating some law of a perfect world, then where would any new inovative ideas come from? 

This saying made me think about  CHOICE and how important it is that we have CHOICE.  A world where there is Choice is a world where there is DESIRE and DESIRE is the driving force of life.  Another movie came to mind, one called "Pleasantville" which was a  story about a town and the  people in it who knew nothing about any outside world other than their town which was black and white town, nothing in their town was any other color but black and white.  There were absolute truths in that world of Pleasantville where everything was black or white or some shade in between, but no Color was there.

Then into this world of Pleasantville, this sister and brother were magically thrust into it and they came from a world of color like our modern world, a world where you could make Choices and make mistakes and learn from them.  They upset everything in Pleasantville with their unconventional ideas and ways. 

If we lived in a perfect world right now, where would be the learning?  I think things are definitely going to change in our world but that even now it is perfect because it is a process.  There is perfection in the process but one has to look at the whole and not just parts of the whole.  

If you say, "well 911 had no perfection in the process" I would have to say this. Maybe the terrible things that happen in our world are something that will not have to repeated in future worlds. Maybe we are the ones who will create future worlds and live in them kind of like a living library to those who in those new worlds, whenever they would begin to be fearful and allow fear to rule them, we could show them a scene from our Earth days where fear ruled in the hearts of mankind and things like 911 and the halocaust happened.  Then that need never happen to anyone anywhere ever again .  That is the bigger picture that we can not see from a narrow way of looking at things. 

We are experimenting here in this world, experimenting with ideas and theories and all kinds of things.  We can find the most balanced way of living our lives allowing for the great diversity in people to be such that everyone can feel that their ideas have merit and their ways though different, can be part of the whole and be accepted as valid as long as they do no harm to anyone.      

                                     SEE NO EVIL                 HEAR NO EVIL                  SAY NO EVIL

                                                  FOR THEN WHAT YOU ARE NOT FOCUSED UPON
                                                                     WILL SIMPLY DISAPPEAR

                            IT ISN'T ANY TROUBLE JUST TO  S - M - I  - L  - E
                            NO  IT ISN'T ANY TROUBLE JUST TO  S - M - I  - L  - E

                            SO SMILE WHEN YOUR IN TROUBLE
                             IT WILL BANISH LIKE A BUBBLE
                             IF YOU ONLY TAKE THE TROUBLE
                             JUST TO  S - M - I - L - E

GRATITUDE

I don't remember my dreams as much as I would like to but when I do remember them I pay attention to them.  Sometimes I have re-occuring dreams  There was this one dream that I would have often and in the dream I would be in a car going somewhere.  I always found that I was sitting in the back seat trying to drive the car from being there.  I would be panicing to get over into the front seat so that I could reach the brakes and the gas, but to no avail.  All that was possible for me to do was to hold on to the steering wheel and try to manuver the car from the position  of being in the back seat.  But this was real hard to do.

Finally I got the idea that perhaps this dream means for me to trust moreso in God to lead me and to not be a back seat driver.  Sometimes I have to just trust my automatic pilot. 

 

This is very interesting that Walter Russell wrote about electricity......See if it makes sense to you. 

 

ELECTRICITY DEFINED

Electricity is the strain or tension set up by the two opposing desires of universal Mind thinking: the desire for balanced action and the desire for rest.

This electric universe is a complexity of strains caused by the interaction of these two opposing, interchanging electric desires.

All matter is electric. All matter is conditioned into greater or lesser strains according to the intensity of desire which is the cause of all electric strain to which it is subjected.

The farther removed from rest, the greater the strain or tension .that which we call high electric potential is merely great strain to maintain a condition which is far from the condition of rest.

The familiar return ball with which a child plays is a good example of electric strain. When the ball is thrown from the hand, the elastic gradually tightens to increase the tension of resistance to strain generated at the elastic. The strain continues to intensify until the ball comes to rest. When the ball returns, the strain gradually lessens until the ball again comes to rest in the child's hand. When that happens, the strain and tension have been voided. Tension has not BECOME rest; it has ceased to be.

This whole electric universe is a complex maze of similar tensions. Every particle of matter in the universe is separated from its condition of oneness, just as the return ball is separated from the hand, and each is connected with the other one by an electric thread of light which measures the tension of that separateness.

It is as though all of the universe of separated particles were playing return ball with each other. When a condition of oneness has been attained in matter, the electric tension ceases to be. Sodium chloride will illustrate this meaning. When sodium and chlorine desire separateness from their oneness of condition in sodium chloride, an electric strain is set up between that separated trinity. When the desire for separateness has gone out of sodium and chlorine, the electric tensions which bound them to the rest condition from which they sprang are voided. Likewise sodium and chlorine are utterly voided.

The reason for this is because all matter is a series of electric tensions. When the tensions cease, the conditions set up by them cease. It is as though two children on a seesaw withdrew into their fulcrum.

Sex tensions and strains intensify the farther they are removed from rest. When unbalanced sex tensions void their unbalance through interchange between the opposite electric desires which caused those tensions, electrical force ceases to be. Likewise sex desire ceases to be.

Electrical tensions exist only between unbalanced electrical matter in motion which is separated from other electrical matter in motion. Wherever there is a condition of rest, electricity ceases to be. Electricity is, therefore, a dual force which seemingly unbalances a condition of rest by dividing it into two opposite conditions and sets them in seeming motion. Interchange between the two opposites of motion voids the unbalanced condition at the end of each cycle of electric expression.

As rest cannot be unbalanced save by illusion, electricity which causes that illusion has no existence.

"Behold in Me the One, inseparable.

"Two things there are not in My universe. There is but Me.

"Everything that is, is of every other thing that is. Nothing is of itself alone. All things are indissolubly united.

"This is a universe of seeming; an imaged universe of thinking; an action universe of desiring. That which Mind desireth will appear in the image of that desire.

"Seek ye, therefore, what ye will in Me and ye shall find it.  Desire what ye will and behold it standeth before Thee. Throughout the aeons it hath been thine without thy knowing, e'en though thou hast but just asked for it.

"Sit ye not and ask, acting not, for thy desire will not come thy way to thee unaided by thy strong arms.

"Behold, I am within all things centering them; and I am without all things controlling them, but I am not those things which I center in them and control in space surrounding them.

"I am the center of My universe of Me. Everywhere I am is the center of all things, and I am everywhere."

From  ..The divine Iliad

 
The following are words from a Master in the book called "The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East" by Baird Spalding.

He began by saying, "This Christmas Morning; to you I suppose it is the day Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, was born; to you the thought must come that He was sent to remit sins; to you He must typify the Great Mediator between you and your God. You seem to appeal to Jesus as a mediator between you and your God, who seems to be a stern and, at times, an angry God sitting off somewhere in the place called heaven, located where I do not know, except it be in mans consciousness. You seem to be able to reach God only through His less austere and more loving Son, the great and noble One whom we all called Blessed and whose advent into the world this day commemorates.

To us this day means  more; to us this day not only means the advent into this world of Jesus, the Christ, but also this birth typifies the birth of Christ in every human consciousness. This Christmas Day means the birth of the Great Master and Teacher, the Great Liberator of mankind from material bondage and limitations. To us this great soul came on earth to show more fully the way to the real God, the great Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient One; to show that God is all Goodness, all Wisdom, all Truth, All in All.

This Great Master, who came to this world this day, was sent to show more fully that God not only dwells without us but within us, that He never is, nor can be, separated from us or any of His creations; that He is always a just and loving God; that He is all things; knows all things; knows all and is all Truth. Had I the understanding of all men, it is beyond my power to express to you, even in a humble way, what this Holy Birth means to us.

"We are fully convinced and we hope you also will see that this Great Master and Teacher came to us that we might have a fuller understanding of life here on earth; that all mortal limitations are but man-made and in no other way should they be interpreted. We know that this greatest of all teachers came to show more fully that the Christ in Him and through whom He did His mighty works is the same Christ that lives in you, in me, and in all mankind; that we can, by applying His teachings, do all the works that He did and greater works. We believe that Jesus came to show more fully that God is the one great and only Cause of all things, that God is All.

"You may have heard it said that we believe Jesus received his early training among us. Perhaps some of us do believe. Let that be as it is. Does it matter whether His training came from among us or as a direct revelation from God, the one source where all things really exist? For when an idea from God mind has been contacted by one man and sent out through the spoken word, cannot one, or all, again contact that thought in the Universal?

Because one has contacted the idea and sent it out, it does not follow that it is his particular possession. If he did appropriate and hold it, where would be room for receiving? To receive more we must give out what we have received. If we withhold what we receive, stagnation will follow and we will be like the wheel that generates power from the water and suddenly, of its own volition, begins to withhold the water which it is using. It will soon find itself stifled with inert water. It is only when the water is allowed to flow freely through that it is of value to the wheel to create power. Just so with man. When he contacts God's ideas he must give them out in order to receive the benefit from them. He must allow all to do the same that they may grow and develop as he is growing.

"I am of the opinion that what Jesus taught came to Him as a direct revelation from God, as it no doubt has come to our great teachers. Are not all things of God, and whatever one human being can do, cannot all do? We believe you will be convinced that God is ever willing and ready to reveal Himself to all men as He has revealed Himself to Jesus and others.

The only requisite necessary is for each one to be willing to let God come forth. We believe, with all sincerity, that all are created equal; that all men are one man; that the mighty works done by Jesus can and will be done by all. You will see there is nothing mysterious about these works. The mystery is only in man's mortal concept of them.

I think that to be in relationship is akin to being in LIFE for life is about relationships. Without them we don't get our mettle tested.  They bring us to that place where we can know what being good, kind, considerate, temperate, non-judgmental, judicial, and creative actually means and how it is done through words and through actions taken. 

I think that we all could benefit from improving our relationship skills.  I even think that relationship is our path to return to God. 

Being a part of Zaadz is a new experience for me.  I find it encourages me to review my own thoughts more thoroughly and when I do that, I quite often shift them, because never having been challenged before by some stated opinion, I did not know how I came across to others.

Now I am learning to be very careful in selecting my words. I don't wish to purposely offend anyone nor to mock others.  I have decided that my own ego had to get out of the way a lot moreso because at first I just wanted to get friends and give my advise, but my ego was too much in the way as I felt offended sometimes.  I know better now and realize that people will respond best to kindness and non-judgmental comments. 

I don't feel that this is a place for winning a popularity contest. Why? Because it influences what you write in such a way that you know inside yourself if your intention is to stir up controversy (which some may think is cool since it will get many responses) but as for really helping others, it is divisive.  Beliefs divide, loving words unite, is one of my favorite phrases that I like to remember.

I am shifting my thinking in that I now can read comments and not feel such a urgent need to vent any anger at another's words.  I know I may have done this in the past but it is what I am getting a handle on these days.

I was moving things around this week what with the move from house to house and I found this picture I took a few years which I had my brother-in-law print out for me by taking a digital picture of it and then printing it out on his computer then.  So this is a digital picture of a picture which I have taken another digital picture of (since now I have my own computer and digital camera) and I doctored up a bit for it had faded out somewhat.  I darkened the face features a bit for they had faded so that they hardly showed up anymore. 

This sunflower was growing at my front porch entrance and the bees had stung it in such a way that it made a cute face.  Everyday when I walked past it, it was like it was welcoming me home, and I just fell in love with this sunflower. 

 

Collectively, we have the power to change the world.

What we do with each moment of time creates our destiny. Yet, two things continue to keep us from this realization. Those two things that keep us from our power are the past and the future.

Where is the Past?  All things experienced are only thoughts and energy in people's minds. Each person has a different view of reality depending on individual experience. Therefore, the past is no longer real;  it is gone. It is an illusion, so LET IT GO!

Where is tomorrow? Where is the future? You have not yet created it with your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions of today. Consequently, the future also is not real, so LET THE FEARS AND ANXIETIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUTURE GO!

Unfortunately we spend much of our time worrying about the past and the future. We think of the past when we think of the regrets...I wish I had done this... If only I had not done or said that...I wish I had not made that decision..

Regarding the future, we often fear not having a job, a relationship, or the other things that we want most in life. Both of these, the past and the future, are illusions in the present moment of time.

Monitor your thoughts on a daily basis and determine how much of your precious energy is spent in these mind traps. What kind of tapes do we play in our mind on a regular basis? Every time we play a fearful or regretful tape, we are robbed of our precious time in the present moment to create our future. Thoughts like these rob us of our dreams and weaken us, for all thoughts based on fear slowly drain our Light. Remember, we are energy beings, and our mind controls the way in which we use this precious substance.

Opposing forces know this and work by whispering suggestions into our consciousness to encourage our minds to stay in lower states. When these forces see that our Light is getting strong and that we are  no longer fooled, they move to a secondary plan. At this point, they begin to work through individuals around us whom they consider to be weak, fractured souls. These may include family members, coworkers, friends. The negative forces know that if they can get these people to buy into these illusions they will become depressed, and will say things to us that plant seeds of doubt. Working through others, they hope eventually to get to us!

The opposing forces frequently come through people whom you least suspect. Since everyone experiences ups and downs in life, these forces will wait until an individual is in a lower state of mind and then use that person to get to you.  Never underestimate how clever these forces can be. It is time now to understand the way in which they operate, and to see the negative forces for what they are.

This Battle of Armageddon is being played out on the Earth plane. Un-awakened individuals are mere puppets in this battle. The stakes are the Light of the soul, and every individual is a participant. As written in the Dead Seas Scrolls and Bible, it is an unseen battle between the sons and daughters of darkness and the forces of Light that has been prophesied for centuries. This battle is being played out primarily on the unseen planes yet more and more it is becoming  observable each day in our physical world.  

It is important to remember that dark forces HAVE NO POWER OVER US UNLESS WE GIVE THE POWER TO THEM.  The Light is all the protection that we need, as we are totally protected in the Christ energy. We have forgotten this momentarily because of the programming that for centuries has weakened us and moved us into a state of fear.

 The dark forces challenge us and actually can bring out the best within us if we overcome the lessons and pass the tests that they bring us. Let them challenge you, but always keep your moment of power-each instant of every day---by holding the Light within and focusing on the purest and most positive thoughts your mind can create. The dark forces will attack our two weakest bodies, the mental and the emotional.

In order to change the conditions around us, we must hold a higher vision of perfection within us, first as individuals and then in groups. By doing so, we will send out a frequency that will attract higher vibrations, and even begin to change things around us. When we accept what happens in our midst as reality by validating events with our thoughts, we ourselves become the creators. We must choose what we will think.

Change yourself and you have the power to transform your environment. If we join together in the Light, we collectively have the power to transform the world.

When our dreams become reality, reality becomes the dream. 

That is a challenging question and a very good one. I wish that  I could learn how to  put into my heart only that which is lovely  and pure and of a good report, and focus on nothing else with any degree of emotion other than feeling my wish fullfilled of having only that which is pure and lovely and of a good report.  Then, according to a law that like attracts like, I would magnitize to myself only those things which were akin to my emotional thinking body.

I believe that when anyone can do this, their doing of it  sort of gives permission to others to do the same thing as well.  Enough of us doing this  and there would be a ripple effect until eventually everyone would be benefited by right thinking.   This world is a world of illusion and the illusion is very ill, but it is mallable.  With a right understanding of things we can call what is not as though it were, and then sit back and let it happen. To sum this up I would just say, "don't worry, be happy".

This is from a book called, "The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East". and in this portion you will hear the prayer Jesus gave when a band of bandits  were approching on horseback a village that they were determined to raid.  No one needed to lift a weapon at all.  This is a powerful action  described that right now in our world, it would be good for our leaders to heed and want to practice.   


 

AS we listened we could hear the low thundering roar of the advancing horde. One of our party climbed to a higher position which gave a broader view of the situation. He called back, stating that he could see the cloud of dust raised by the horsemen as they advanced toward the entrance of the canyon. We secreted our equipment in a nearby crevasse, joined our associate and found shelter in the surrounding crags and rocks where we could observe the movements of the band. As they entered the canyon, the band halted; fifty horsemen rode forward as an advance guard, then the whole band moved up the canyon, spurring and lashing their horses into a wild gallop. The clatter and roar of the hoofs over the rocky floor, coupled with shouts of defiance, caused an indescribable din. Had it not been so tragic at the time, it would have been awe-inspiring to witness this great body of horsemen sweeping forward.

Our position was very advantageous, as the canyon walls were nearly precipitous so that we could look directly down upon the bandit horde as they swept on with the seemingly irresistible force of a great tidal wave.

The advance band of intruders had swept past our position and those in the lead of the main band were fast approaching. We had turned our field glasses on the little village for the moment and observed that it was panic stricken.

One member of our party working on the ledge, stopped work and was watching the advancing band. We saw him turn and look through the door leading to the entrance of the center room of the Temple.

Our field glasses were all centered upon the figure of Jesus as He advanced through the door and stepped upon the ledge, walking directly to the brink and standing for a moment with body magnificently poised.

This ledge was about eight hundred feet above where we were concealed and nearly three miles distant. Instantly we realized that He was speaking, and, in another moment, the words came to us clear and distinct. Our associate on the ledge sat down and began taking notes in shorthand, which I did also. Later comparison showed that we heard His words distinctly above the din of the advancing hordes. We were told that He did not raise His voice above His natural well-modulated tones.

As Jesus began speaking; a perfect calm came over the entire village and its inhabitants. These are His words, translated into English by Jesus Himself. My most fervent prayer will always be that I shall never forget them, though I live to be ten thousand years.

THE LIGHT

"As I stand alone in Your great silence, God my Father, in the midst of me there blazes a pure light and it fills every atom of my whole being with its great radiance. Life, Love, Strength, Purity, Beauty, Perfection, stand forth in all dominion within me. As I gaze into the very heart of this light, I see another light, liquid, soft, golden white and radiantly luminous, absorbing, mothering and giving forth the caressing fire of the Greater Light.

"Now I know that I am God and am with God's whole universe. I whisper to God my Father and I am undisturbed.

STILL IN THE SILENCE

"Yet in this complete silence there exist God's Greatest Activity. Again, I am undisturbed and complete silence is all about me. Now the radiance of this light spreads to God's vast universe and every where I know there is God's conscious life. Again, I say fearlessly, I am God; I am silent and unafraid.

"I lift the Christ high within me and sing God's praise. In the tones of my music inspiration hums. Louder and clearer with each new day, inspiration is lifting my conscious thought until it is attuned to God's rhythm. Again, I lift the Christ high and give close ear that I may hear the glad music. My keynote is harmony and the theme of my song is God and God seals my song as Truth.

BEHOLD I AM BORN ANEW, A CHRIST IS HERE

"I am free with the great light of Your Spirit, God my Father; Your seal is placed upon my forehead. I accept. I hold your light high, God my Father, Again I accept."

AS Jesus ceased speaking, a dazzling ray of pure white light shot out from the center of the solar part of His body. This beam of light extended down the canyon some distance to where the gorge made an abrupt left turn, just ahead of the place where the advanced group of horsemen were riding.

At the point where this light beam terminated, a great barrier like a stone wall seemed to rise instantly; and great darts that appeared like flaming arrows shot out from this barrier.

The advancing horses stopped so suddenly in their mad forward dash that they unseated a number of their riders. Many of them paused for a moment with their heads and forefeet in the air, then turned and bolted down the canyon completely out of control. When they reached the advance ranks of the main band, those riders that had not been unseated attempted to control their horses but to no avail. These, as well as the riderless horses, plunged on and into the front ranks of the moving band. Here the movements of the front ranks were checked, while the ranks in the rear, not realizing their danger, came on and surged over those in advance, until the canyon below us was a seething mass of men and horses.

For an instant all was a dead calm save for the wild screams of frightened men and mad horses, where the wild stampede of the advance riders had clashed with the forward columns of the main band. There, a terrific scene was taking place. The riderless horses, entirely free from restraining hands, had plunged headlong into and over the advanced ranks, unseating many more men; and they with their ungoverned mounts, added to the confusion. The horses began rearing, plunging, and screaming, as only dumb animals can in a moment of uncontrolled and violet fright. This mad melee was communicated through the massed horde in the canyon below us.

Suddenly we saw men draw their short swords and slash wildly in every direction; others drew their firearms and began shooting at men and horses in an attempt to clear the way for an escape. It soon developed into a battle of the survival of the fit. It ended in a mad dash for liberty by those who were fortunate enough to escape the shambles, leaving the gorge cluttered with great heaps of dead and wounded men and horses.

WE hurried down to give what aid we could to the wounded. All of the inhabitants and our friends joined us. Messengers were sent out far and wide for assistance. We worked feverishly through the night and till after sunup the next morning.

As rapidly as we were able to extricate the wounded ones from the terrible debris, Jesus and our friends would take them in hand. When the last man was cared for, we returned to the lodge for breakfast. Much to our surprise, as we entered, we found the Black Bandit talking to Emil. It was the first time that any of us were conscious that Emil had been present. He saw our look of wonderment and said, "That will keep until later."

After the meal was finished, we walked outside with the Chief and he told us that Emil and himself had come upon the man seriously wounded and unable to move, as he was held down by his fallen horse. They had freed him and carried him to the temporary shelter where he was made as comfortable as possible; then they had called our hostess and turn him over to her care. After his wounds were dressed, he asked if she would ask her God to show him what to do to be like her. He also asked her to teach him how to pray.

She asked him if he wished to be whole and well and he replied "Yes, wholly like you," She answered, "Now that you have asked for wholeness, your prayer is answered; you are completely whole now.

The man lapsed into a deep slumber. At midnight when our Chief made his rounds, he found that the wounds had completely closed and there was not a scar left. The man arose, dressed, and volunteered to assist in the rescue work.

We also saw a great number that we thought were just slipping into the great shadow, restored completely, some would cringe in terror at the approach of our friends, -- so much so, that it became necessary to separate them from the others.

After the rescue work was finished, the "Black One," as we called him, went about among his wounded associates, doing all he could to alleviate their fears. Many seemed like animals caught in a trap, fearing that a terrible death by torture awaited them, as that was the sentence meted out to them through the law of that land, should a bandit be captured. So definitely had this belief become fixed in their minds that they never responded to the kindness bestowed upon them. They feared they were being nurtured back to health so that the torture would be of greater duration.

All were finally healed of their wounds, although a few lingered for months, evidently thinking they were delaying the day of torture.

The Black One later organized all of the wounded who would join him into a protective unit against further raids and also induced many of the inhabitants to join this unit. From that time on, we were later informed, the bandit groups never again attempted to raid that district.

Later two of our expeditions passed through that territory on their way to the Gobi. This man with his followers conducted them safely through his own district and the adjoining district, a distance of over four hundred miles, and neither he nor his followers would accept any compensation for that service. We have been told many times that he has become a great power for good throughout the district, giving his entire life freely to the people without remuneration.

God speaking in the words of Benner in his book "The Way Out"

 

YOUR GOD SELF

Then the Higher Self, this Spirit of God deep within you, is the real you, is the Self that has ever been directing all the activities of your life, has been actually doing all through you, knows just what He is doing, assumes all responsibility and evidently sees the end before the beginning.

Then you can realize that of your human self you do nothing, and never did anything; that all the power, knowledge and life you have comes from your Higher Self; and that if you ever wish to be, to do, or to have anything, and to gain the freedom, happiness and peace your soul seeks, it behooves you to get well acquainted with that Self, to learn to cooperate with Him, and to wait upon and serve Him in all the activities of your life.

From this you can also realize that the reason you failed to gain any of these things in the past, is because you tried to get them without reckoning upon your Higher Self or knowing His part in the doing-you tried to do it alone. So He let you fail again and again, until you came to that place where you learned the uselessness of trying to do anything yourself, and you became willing to turn to Him and humbly ask Him to take charge and you gladly yielded over all to Him and put all your trust in Him.

Everyone must come to that place-every seeker of the true way of life; for until self with its human mind has been completely humbled and gives up utterly, it cannot accept the truth of its non-reality and of the actuality of the God-man within, and that He can do all and will provide all things-when the human mind yields itself wholly to Him.

If you who read have come to that place and are truly ready to give yourself to the God Self within, then we will tell you of a great but simple law that you must follow.

A SIMPLE LAW

That Law is -whatever is before you to do, do it the best you know how, in order to please your God-Self."For He placed you just where you now are and provided the particular task confronting you as the best means and opportunity in which to teach your human mind the next lessons you are to learn, and to develop in you the spiritual qualities you still lack in order to make your human self a perfect instrument for His use.

Then in doing that task, for He provides all tasks and brings you to all problems, having now given yourself over wholly to Him, you are concerned only that you do what is before you the best you can, KNOWING that He will provide the power, understanding and ability needed, and that you are not responsible any more for results, as they are all in His keeping. For have you not put the fuller responsibility on Him, are now trusting everything to Him, and consequently you no longer have any fears, doubts or worries to clog your mind and prevent His accomplishing His purpose for you? Only by thus yielding all to Him can you be a clean and open channel through which He can bring through into being the good and perfect things He intends to  manifest in your life. For He can intend nothing less than that, else why all the trouble He is taking with you?

It is all a matter of trusting, dear friend, of trusting the God within you. If you have failed in the past, no matter how hard you tried, it is because you did not trust enough.

Therefore we are bringing this great truth closer by asking you truly to trust the God within, your Higher Self, the Christ in you, Who we have shown has all the wisdom and power of God; to let go utterly and put ALL your trust in Him.

You must learn thus to trust, until it becomes the supreme and dominant influence in your consciousness, for

THE ONLY THING THAT PREVENTS YOUR GOOD FROM COMING INTO NATURAL AND CONTINUOUS EXPRESSION IS YOUR LACK OF REAL FAITH AND TRUST IN THE GOD WITHIN YOU-YOUR CHRIST SELF.

This means that if instead of faith and trust you still let fears, doubts and worries into your mind, then of course there they cause you to build negative pictures of the things you are fearing, and you proceed to entertain and feed them by further fears, until they become actual living things in your mental world. In time they largely control your mind and you are helpless. And naturally every time you succumb to them, you grow more helpless.

Is this not true?-Then what is the solution? Only one thing. You must let go completely and turn the whole problem over to God. Do that actually-"wash your hands" of it, "step out from under." And throw the entire responsibility upon Him.

Think! Can you do that? Try it. In fact, He wants you to do it. Talk to this God within the Real Self of you, and tell Him that you are through, that you have done your best, and that is all you can do-and it was useless. And now it is up to Him; He will have to handle it. Actually mean it, and then let go and truly "wash your hands" of all responsibility.

Then, and not until then, has He got your mind in the state where it is ready to hear His Voice and learn what He has in store for you. For once it has really thrown off the burden of self, there is no longer a negative force attracting the old fears, doubts and worries. Instead you become a positive force in your believing that He now will take care of all things, for you intend to do nothing and to give Him the chance to prove what He can do.

AN ABSOLUTE LETTING GO

It is to just that state of mind He desires to bring you, where you actually let go, giving the load you are carrying over to Him, and thereby become as free as a little child, just such a child as we will now picture to you.

Standing on the sidewalk of a busy street waiting for the light signal, is a little boy of three years whose hand is tightly clasped in that of his father. Then they start across. Is the child frightened by the big automobiles and the noise and tumult at this busy corner? No, he sees and knows no danger and gleefully enjoys the turmoil and the mixing with the crowd hurrying across-for he knows that Dad is taking care of him and will not let any harm come to him. Just as he unconsciously knows that Dad will feed and clothe him, for to him Dad is as God who will provide everything he needs and take every care of him.

Think you your God-Self does not love you and is not taking equal care of you, His child? For are you not a part of His Being and does He not need you to express His Self?

Then how could He let you really suffer or come to any harm? What your human mind suffers and the dangers it fears are only the nightmares of childhood which disappear when the light of understanding is brought. Besides such mental suffering actually burns away the qualities of self that hinder His perfect expression, while through the fears that come and persist He teaches you how to become strong.

It is these mental fears-for they are purely mental, that is, they exist in your mind, not in His Consciousness-that are clogging your mind-channel, and preventing His pouring through it the good that awaits.

Then you will have to cleanse your mind of all such negative things-of every doubt, fear or worry, and especially of those wrong pictures you are carrying around in your consciousness. Do you still see yourself as sick, or ailing, or poor, or very much needing anything? Then can you not realize it is that picture which is clogging up the channel? For what you think and carry around in consciousness as being so always outmanifests itself. How can the good you wish to manifest get by this picture?

That is the whole trouble, dear friend, you have not cleansed your mind of those old picture-beliefs, some of which are hiding down in the dark corners of your subconsciousness, purposely refusing to come out into the light; for they know, the moment you see them for what they are, their days are numbered. In fact, you must go down into the subconsciousness and dig out all of such and cast them forth; for until the whole mind is clean and free of all negative and untrue thoughts and feelings and is kept so, it cannot be brought into your God consciousness where there are only positive, true, good and perfect ideas about you and you can see all things in their reality, even as He sees, and you can know as He knows; your mind thus becoming a perfect channel through which He can give you your divine heritage which He has so long had waiting for you.

IMAGINE THE GOD-YOU

Now we ask you to try to imagine yourself in the consciousness of your God-Self and to see with His eyes this self you call you, and the other selves around you and the world you live in.

In the first place, know that as He is all wise, all loving and all powerful, and is still you, but a perfect you, He must have a perfect mind and body-but not like your physical self. His body is that "image and likeness of God: in which man was originally formed. And if God made man like Himself, who could change man-a perfect being? Not even man, himself.

Then man must still be perfect!  Yes, it cannot be otherwise. For think you anyone could alter or bring to naught any perfect thing God created?

We know you are asking how then did man become so changed. He is not changed-the real man. He is your Higher Self-the Real You---the perfect Man, just as God created him, as He now sees him, and as he will always be.

Now listen! What you and others see are mortal man's creations---not God's. They are merely the creations of man's fancied "separate" mind, and have no existence except in his brain-mind's consciousness. When God gave man free-will, He gave him the power to think as he wills, which means to create. He could think good-God's thoughts, or evil---not God's thoughts. Man did not realize his God nature then; he had only his human nature to judge by, and the only way to learn was, not by taking God's or anyone's word for things, but by thinking, by trying and finding what his creations-the things, conditions and people of his world-were not. And so he thought and created and tried from the beginning to make perfect things and conditions in this world of his consciousness-with the results you see everywhere about you.

Not that many men back through the ages have not learned the truth-the truth we are trying to teach you, ---that they can do nothing of themselves, but with the help of the God within them they can do all things, can have all things, can be all things. And with His help such have come into and are now dwelling in their Christ Consciousness, are One with Him, and are doing the Father's Work on earth even as others are doing it in Heaven.

THE CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

And what do they see in this Consciousness? They see that they are souls, living in a perfect world, where every soul is young, good, beautiful and perfect, even as the Father conceived them, and where everything is devised for the free use and enjoyment of its inhabitants. Which means that there is a rich abundance of all good things for everyone always available. No one there ever needs anything, for it is always at hand. There any desired thing is created by thought and you can have it when and as you wish it. Then of course no one takes from another or owes another anything, for everyone has everything he wants; because all he has to do is to see clearly in his mind what he wants and it takes shape and substance right before his eyes, ready and perfect for his use.

From this you can see there is no selfishness there, for all there are those in whom self no longer is. There is no injustice, for the law of justice rules everyone's consciousness. There is no evil, for it has been learned that evil, sin, sickness, inharmony, and unhappiness are the creations of mortal mind, and of course one who is selfless is in his Christ  Consciousness and no longer thinks and thereby creates such things.

Does this help you to see how and why man is responsible for this outer world-that it is his own creation, and not God's creation? And can you now see what is God's world-His Kingdom, your heavenly home, where you can return as a Prodigal Son anytime you will be remembering and seeing only the truth, and where you will find your heavenly Father waiting for you with outstretched arms?

And Who is this heavenly Father? He is your own Real Self, the God-You, that is always back in that Consciousness deep within your soul, where you can retire any moment you will. All you have to do is to throw off everything that presses upon your consciousness from the outer world of the human mind and turn your attention to the inner world of Spirit. Especially must you refuse to see, to talk about, or let your mind dwell upon outer conditions, no matter how hard they appear or how they seemingly affect you; for remember they exist only in the world of man's mind, and not in the real world that God-You sees and lives in. If you resolutely do this, it will not be long before you will have evidence of the reality of this Kingdom within, and you will hear His Voice and receive definite guidance as to what He wills and what is His purpose for you. For He must have a purpose, or why all this disciplining and developing of your mind and character? Make no mistake, He knows what He is doing and why; and when you have given self entirely over to Him, He will take you into His Consciousness, and there you will work with Him to accomplish what He intended from the beginning.

The beautiful part of it is that there are others there working with you, others who have found Him within themselves, have found there a new and wonderful self, a wonderful world, and wonderful comrades in it; a world far more real than the ever-changing one of their own creation.

Yes, they have found their eternal home, the Kingdom of God's Consciousness, the same home which Jesus described in His many parables, when trying to tell of it to the people of His day, where He went after his mission was accomplished; where He now lives and works among His disciples who have followed Him there. To them He is a very real and actual Teacher, guide and Friend, Who is preparing them for the great day when He will make Himself manifest to all His followers on earth and will bring Heaven down to earth to be truly in the midst of men.

I pay a little bit of attention to what others think of me.  Mostly though I don't let myself worry about the thoughts of others concerning me. If I give someone reason to think bad of me, then that is another story. I woud feel sad that I gave a bad example and that they probably thought that I was unreasonable or ignorant. 

I don't have many people in my life who think  something bad about me so I can not say for sure just how that would feel to me.  If I had that kind of relationship, most likely I would just avoid them and would not be over anxious to defend or prove anything to them.  If they were to make an effort to confront me with their feelings I would not hesitate to deal with it then in the best way I could and would try to be gentle as possible.

Here on Zaadz this question begs to be dealt with, because we can write blogs and others will comment on them either in a positive way or a negative way.  Here,  I am a student of how to react to a negative comment, and I am trying to be very understanding and trying to control my thoughts in response to negative comments.  II find myself answering people and really taking a long time refining what I say, to be sure that I don't just react with not well thought out comments.  This is a great place to learn how to talk to one another, how to relate in such a way that you can say what you feel but at the same time not come across as a 'know it al' or as an angry person. 

I do wish however that when we answer or comment to someone about what they have said, that it not be seen as our being angry or upset, but simply our putting our thoughts on a subject into the stew and hopefully bringing about a new way of thinking that might actually be helpful. 

This is a picture I took of my deceased husband's Bob's watch .  He had set the alarm on the watch and could not figure how to turn it off so after he died, for about three years it would go off each evening at about 7:14 p.m. One day my friend who was visiting me took a picture right at that time when the alarm began sounding.  We got this strange picture that has some kind of energy pattern in it.  It also shows at the top what looks like notebooks although there were no notebooks around at that time.  I have always thought it to be some kind of message from Bob. 

I want to mention a few things that happened during my time with Bob.

Something very strange and  happened to me a few years ago.  Bob was having these  sudden attacts of memory loss.  They would come on him all of a sudden and he would go into a panic not knowing where he was or why or even hardly who he was.  This happened a lot and when it did I would begin to tell him where we were, who he was and what we were doing and answer his many questions.  Sometimes I felt he was not really himself when this happened to him, but that someone else was looking through his eyes.

It was a terrible problem and it keep him from continuing his work as a computer programmer.  On one particular day this came over him while we were in the car driving on a busy freeway on our way back from a job interview he had gone to.  I had him take an off-ramp and pull over right away.  He was saying strange things. I ask him did he know who I was and he did. I ask him where he thought  we were  and he said, "In a space ship, we have been visiting other planets".  I ask him where were we going now,  he said "We are going back to earth"....Why I ask.  "Oh, to tie up some loose ends".....he said......   After that response he lapsed back into his confused and "where am I mode" and I had to practically tell him his life history again before it all came back to him, usually in about an hour he would get him memory back. .  

On one particular day this memory loss happened five times that day. It was getting to be quite bothersome to me and I was feeling kind of mad about it.  I was beginning to think that something wanted to possess him so when it happened for the fifth time I happened to be across the room from him and I pointed my hand at  him and said, "Come out of him in the name of Jesus".....

What happened next was something that I did not see, only he saw it.  He said that a ball of light came from my hand straight at him, entered his head and came out the back of his head and he saw it all as though he were out of his body seeing it come out the back of his head.  He looked at me and he said, "Who are you" with the emphasis on the 'are',  and then he went on and on about it for hours telling me over and again that a ball of light came from my hand to  his head and out the back of his head.  I saw and felt nothing myself but I believed that he saw what he said he saw.  I don't know what that was or how it happened for I was not conscious of having done anything.

The result of that experience was a change in Bob. He had been a rather harsh person, not given to emotional feelings of a loving nature, not given to crying over anything.  After that experience he would cry at a tender part of a movie we were watching, and he would see people and bless them verbally, like this little girl in a wheel chair. He went up to her and held her hand and told her he was sending energy to her to help her to heal.  This kind of thing was so totally not the way he had been before. 

Many strange things had happened to Bob all of his life from the time he was a young boy. He used to go somewhere in his sleep when he was young and would be in a place  where he had a little friend that he loved to be with.  They would run through the fields and play together in this place that was a happier place than earth...He wanted to stay there and not have to wake up and be back in his life. One day the boy's parents discovered that Bob was there with their son and they said, "This is not allowed to be here.  He will have to go back and we will have to erase his memory of his ever having been here".  At this Bob cried and begged them not to erase his memory of his time there.  They told him that they would erase it but that when he was older he would recall his time spend with their son.  He did recall when he was older.

There were other things about Bob.  He traveled out of body many nights and said that people in other realities needed his help while he was there. One world was a water world where everyone lived on boats.  Sometimes in the middle of the night Bob would wake up and sit up in bed and say things like, "Words can not explain what I am seeing"  and it would wake me up whereupon I would ask him what he was seeing, only to have him fall back to sleep and not even remember in the morning anything about his experience.


One day near the end of his days on earth, Bob and I were driving along and Bob sees this man bent over  smoothing concrete on a sidewalk. Suddenly Bob said, "I know that man's life, his thoughts, everything he is thinking right now"  and it was as if he had  tapped into that man's consciousness for a brief time.  But it did not excite Bob that this happened, rather it worried him for he felt that was like a violation or something.

Bob never was as interested in studying metaphysical subjects as I was but he did like reading "Seth Speaks" by Jane Roberts. 

I believe that we humans are in a prison of our own human definitions.  We have boxed ourselves in and we are unable, except for a few of us, to think outside the box.  Yet we approach a new day, a day when we will enter into a new dimension, one of TIME. The author Ken Carey was given a glimpse of this when he communed with what he called 'spacial intelligences' and what he learned of them, he shared in his book, "The Starseed Transmissions".  This is a different thought process than we currently use, but it is for now, is at hand, something that we would benefit greatly by understanding.  So I give to you a portion of what Ken Carey had to say.  


..........................
"A Psychological Process

Everything that you need exists in this present moment, and this moment is all that exists. In its brief flicker you will find all the time in the world. Through it you will contact the Living Information that will guide you with infallible direction. This present moment is the stargate through which you will leave the prison of human definition and expand into an awareness of divine perception.  It is the crack between the worlds, not only the worlds of past and future, but worlds of time and space, spirit and matter, form and being. It is a timeless zone, the gateway through which you will again begin to participate in the adventure of creation.

Your entry into the eternal awesomeness of the present moment, into the Presence of God, will be through what we call a "psychological process." This process is a process of identity shift, a process through which balance is restored in your awareness of the two realities. Through it, you begin to realize that you are not the form you animate, but the force of animation itself. Through it, you will reawaken to an awareness of all that you are in spirit and in wholeness. It is a process that will return you to a state of grace, a state of health, a state of intimate association with all that is. This state already exists. It always has. Yet most human beings are blinded to it by the incessant machinations of the rational thought processes that they worship instead of God and His simple truth.

It is important that you recognize the creative power of your thoughts, a power far beyond your knowledge. As long as you think negatively, Life will only allow you a token share of consciousness, lest you spread diseases. But the moment your thoughts are of Love and Life, the Lord will flood you with His own awareness and you will enjoy the wonder of His perception. You were born to share in His creative power. The stuff of which you are made is so charged with the ability to create that everything you touch comes to life; every thought, every identity, every image. You are the energizing force of the material plane, the bringer of life, the bestower of blessing and the sustainer of illusion. Through you, God is able to enter the very heart of Creations. Through you God is revealed in material form.

You are both child of God and child of Matter. Yet you cannot serve both masters. Whatsoever you bind in consciousness will be bound in Matter, and whatsoever you bind in Matter will be bound in consciousness. You are the creator at this time of your own reality. If you would know the Creator of a great reality, lay down your thoughts as you would a hoe after a day in the garden. The greater reality calls you now. You are required in its service. Your embryonic period is over, gestation is complete, the moment of birth, at hand.

To re-enter the Presence of God, you must first leave the presence of Satan. You have lived in the presence of Satan for all the years of your history. In fear, you have been led far from your home in a state of grace, and deeply into worlds of elemental forces and bonded energy patterns. Now is the time to leave this prison. You need not leave your physical bodies, nor the objects of the physical plane, but you must leave your interpretations of what those objects and bodies are. Your interpretations and definitions only reflect the distortion of your subjective perspective.

Interpretations are what stand between you and the clarity of perception that you will need to do the work that lies ahead. You must release them with your thoughts, with your dreams, with your hopes and with your fears. They may seem to be insignificant, ethereal things, floating gently through your mind, but do not be misled by their apparent lack of substance. They are the stuff that wars are made of, the harbingers of death, the agents of disease and destruction. With the energy that you give them through your attention, they have the strength to cripple a planet.

Remember the tree in the center of the Garden?

Why do you suppose the Lord forbade the first humans to eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil?

Only One with a consciousness of the whole of Creation is in a position to determine the good and evil as it pertains to the various creatures.

In the other reality, the first humans shared in the holistic perspective of the Creator, but in the form reality, their perspective was decidedly subjective, incapable of accurately assessing the needs of the whole. They could not creatively direct the course of those who had projected forms functioning within Creation. Only the Totality of Consciousness, God the Father, the Creator, was in that position. So long as they had trust in Him, and were willing to function within the range of their design, within the context of the Creator's own internal dynamics, they had complete freedom to enjoy the created realms.

Choosing to partake of the forbidden fruit, these first representatives of deity stepped outside the range of their designated function, consequently outside the range of the creative energy that was available to them according to the nature of their design. This was the beginning of disease, aging and death, the beginning of their pattern of false identity, and the beginning of human history. The pattern of false identity has lasted to this day, and while it has not critically affected the gestation period, it has certainly made it less enjoyable.

Can you see more clearly now why it is essential in these closing years of the cycle to release your interpretations? They belong to the past. And Life exists eternally in the present. You were intended to share in this eternal Life. But to do so, you must release identification with the past, release identification with the material garments you wear, and accept the creative definition   that Life gives to you in the present moment. What do you call Satan? His body is the past, his breath, the future. Energized by your past-oriented guilt and your future-oriented fear, he follows you around like some vast cosmic shadow. He casts his nets of fear on the waters of your awareness, then draws them with ropes of reason back into a guilt-ridden past.

For the sake of illustration, your presence could be compared to an inflatable membrane, designed to be filled to the full with the energy and power of Life. Like two enormous rips in the side, guilt and fear allow the precious life-substance to escape, leaving you  withered, ineffectual and short-lived, all the while, using your own life substance to energize everything that you fear.

It is easy to reverse the situation. Let yourself die to the past and wake up in the present moment. Why should you hesitate? Are your past experiences really comprehensive enough to provide a basis for understanding everything you encounter in the present? Do they truly deserve the authority and credibility that you give them? How attentive were you to all the factors that were present in the moment of their occurrence? If you are preoccupied with "experience", how attentive will you be to what is occurring in the moment? Where is your attention now?

You are where your attention takes you. In fact, you are your attention. If your attention is fragmented, you are fragmented. When your attention is in the past, you are in the past. When your attention is in the present moment, you are in the Presence of God and God is present in you. Let yourself die to all that does not really exist and discover what does. Let go of all you think you know. Be honest; all you know is of the past. It does not exist in the eyes of God. In the eyes of God, your knowledge is but dust in the eye of a child, blinding you to the splendor of Creation.

You know, in effect, nothing of eternal significance. When you operate on the basis of your so-called knowledge, you are operating without divine foundation. Belief in your own knowledge is not belief in God. Trust in your own knowledge is not trust in God. No matter how much you learn within your present framework of finite knowledge, it will never be even one step closer to an understanding of God, the universe, or yourself. Knowledge, as you presently understand it, will never bring you closer to Life.

Do not cling, in imagined righteousness, to this or that segment of your experience, as if this or that piece of the past were somehow worth the saving. "Well," you say, "I will die to everything but this. This is too sacred. This means too much to me." Let it go! Does it mean more than Life? You don't need it anymore, whatever it might be.

Perhaps you are concerned that some aspect of your identity will not survive the psychological process. You may be right. But you

May just as well be wrong. Let it go. It makes absolutely no difference. There are no guarantees that this or that is going to survive the sight of God. But the only things that are threatened, the only things that will not survive, are things that do not exist apart from your conception, things that have no reality apart from the reality that you give them.

All that is essential to you is being sustained by the creative power of the living God. All that you sustain in existence through the misuse of your creative abilities only serves to involve you in areas where your own life energies become mis-channeled and eventually dissipated. Any belief, any concept, any conviction that you might have that truly mirrors what is present in the mind of God, will still be there on the other side of the psychological process. So you have nothing to fear in releasing these things. All that has been sanctified by God will continue to exist. Only that which has sought to cheat you of your destiny will perish.  It is really very simple; let it all go. See what the Lord has in store.

Any hesitation that you feel is only indicative of a continued trust in fear and reason. These are the false gods of this age. They will continue to enslave you until your trust is restored in Love and Life. Trust God implicitly, and the Truth of His divine design will be revealed in every situation. This design is your own operating manual. Ignore it in favor of your own interpretations and you are ignoring the blueprint for your identity.

Specific information for each and every situation is being supplied to you constantly by the source of infinite knowledge. Why not trust it? Your first impulse will always be, as it has always been, the programmatic instruction from your subliminal analysis system, the advice of your Creator. It will be a direct message from your true self, the impulse of Life, the gateway to all that you call heaven. It is the spontaneous spark of divinity as it differentiates through you into your environment situation. It can assess and evaluate the factors present in any situation at a rate of speed far exceeding a rational thought process. You have all the pertinent information in the universe available simply for the asking.

When you are aware of your totality, the Life-impulse will transmit to you everything that you need to know in any given situation Its message will always come as your first spontaneous impulse. Be attentive.

I like to research what scientist are finding out in these modern days and then see these same things  spoken about many years ago through the mystics  like the one here who is  quoteing Jesus.  This is a discussion by Jesus who speaks of how  science will soon see that all things can be reduced to one primal element containing innumerable particles universally distributed, responding to vibratory influences, and all in perfect and absolute equilibrium or balance.  Science and mysticism are definitely coming together.....

You know the song, "I was country, when country wasn't cool".....Well these mystics were giant steps ahead of what science is just now coming around to getting an understanding of.   They were talking about this kind of stuff when it was not cool to be talking about this kind of stuff.....BUT NOW IT IS.  and I am ALL Ears.......

"It takes a true motivating thought, focused on a central absorbing point or ideal to bring forth or accomplish and you, as well as all mankind, can become that motivating center. Not one thing comes forth unless man first expresses the ideal.

"At one time man was fully conscious that he was this motivating center and lived fully conscious of his inheritance and dominion. He lived consciously in a condition that you term heaven. All but a few have let go of this divine gift and today the great majority are absolutely unconscious of this divine quality which is mankind's true inheritance.

"What man has done once,  he can accomplish again. This is the principle back of the endless array of life and manifestation that you see all around you and includes your own life, together with that of every existing thing, as every existing thing has life. Ere long science will give you ample grounds for saying that things are not material, as science will soon see that all things can be reduced to one primal element containing innumerable particles universally distributed, responding to vibratory influences, and all in perfect and absolute equilibrium or balance.

"Hence, it follows on mathematical grounds alone that it took some definite moment, some initial action, to draw together the infinite particles of this all-pervading universal natural substance, in order to bring them into form as selective objects.

"This power did not originate wholly within a particle, but is a power greater, yet at one with the particle and you, through your thought and definite action, co-operating with the vibration, give selectivity to these particles. Thus will physical science be compelled to understand through necessary deductions, so that scientists will recognize the presence of a power, which, at this time, is not understood because it is inactive; and which is inactive only because it is not recognized.

"But, when recognized and communed with by man and brought into actual expression, it is fully capable of separating certain specific areas for the specific display of this universal cosmic energy.

"Then there is built up what you look upon as a material universe, with all its different manifestations, by an orderly process of evolution. If orderly, then each stage must lay the foundation perfectly for the greater development of the stage that is to follow. If you can accomplish progress in perfect order and harmony of thought and action, you are in actual accord with power and this power brings forth, on an unlimited scale, the faculty of selecting the means to an end. You distribute life and energy under a recognized order of cosmic progression.

"This, then, is not a material universe as you have thought. This is only your definition of it. It came forth from spirit and it is spiritual, if you will define it as such. This is orderly, true, basic. If orderly, it is scientific; if scientific, it is intelligent, it is life united with intelligent life.

"Life coupled to and guided by intelligence, becomes volition and, through volition, it becomes vocation.

"Spirit is the primary, vibrating, originating power; and you may enter into spirit and use its power by the simple acceptance or knowing that it does exist; then let it come forth, and the whole of spirit is at your command. To you it becomes an ever-potent spring of perpetual and original life right within yourself.

"This does not take long years of study, nor need you go through training or hardships or deprivation. Know and accept that this vibration does exist. Then let it flow through you.

"You are one with Great, Creative Mind substance:  thus you know that all things do exist. If you will but see that Divine Principle, Great Principle, Good Principle, God Principle is all there is, -- that it fills all space, is all-then you are that principle; and, as you stand forth in your Christ dominion and give out this principle, you, by your very thought, word, and act give this principle greater activity. Thus, one more has found his dominion and is using God power and sending it out. As you give out this power, it flows to you. As you give, more is pressed upon you to give and you will find you cannot deplete the supply.

"This does not mean going into a closet and hiding yourself. This is getting quiet right where you are, even in the busy so-called turmoil of life, under the most trying circumstances. Then life is not turmoil; it is quiet, contemplative, and compulsive.

"The outer activity is as nothing compared with the greater activity that you now realize and are one with. This is getting quiet right where you are, seeing God standing forth from you, -- closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet, -- with your whole thought action centered on God.

"Who is God? Where is the God that your whole thought action is centered or focused upon?

"God is not a great being outside of you, that you are going to bring within and then present to the world. God is that power which is generated and exhilarated by your own thought action. It is true that this power is within and all about you, but it is inactive until you think of it and know that it does exist. Then you see it flowing forth from you in limitless measure. You present it to the world and the world is benefited by your presentation. You, yourself, must present the accomplishment by putting forth the driving force of all Good, God your Father, the power to accomplish, behind every thought and act. Now you are God fulfilling or filling full the accomplishment. This is God, the true and only God, standing forth from you.

"You are then God the Father, the husbandman, the amplifier and the projector, the definite and positive accomplisher. It is then that legions fly to do your bidding.

"The moment you say wholeheartedly, with reverence and deep meaning, that God is in his Holy Temple and know that this temple is your pure body, just as you present it and as you truly stand today, that you, the true Christ, live one with God right within this temple, and that your exalted body is a holy abiding place, a whole and all-inclusive abode, you are an energizer, an all-including and outpouring vessel for this true and divine principle to flow through. Then you pour out more and more of the God which you are and which you love.

"You worship, your praise, and with your ever-expanding love, you pour out to all mankind that they may see the Christ, the God-man standing forth triumphant.

"Now you say with the keenest joy, ‘Whosoever will, let him come and drink deeply of the waters of pure life.' Those who do this will never thirst again. This power you are using and sending forth is God. The Son accomplishes readily what the Father accomplishes. This is also being humble to and bowing before this great power. This is true humility stepping forth in humble mien, one with your own driving force and power.

"By constantly contemplating, praising, blessing and giving thanks to this power you increase its flow and, as you do this, it becomes potent and more readily accessible to you.

"Thus, I say, pray without ceasing. Your daily life is true prayer.

"By first KNOWING that this power does exist, then using it with absolute confidence you soon become wholly conscious of it. You soon KNOW that it is all-inclusive in and through you. If  you will but let it flow, it will rush to you in every instance. It flows to you as you let it flow from you. Stand forth as God and give it out. This is God your Father in you and you and your Father are one. Not servants but SONS, Sons of First Primal Cause. All that I AM has, is yours; for you are I AM.

"It is not I who do the work, it is I AM in the Father and the Father in me brings forth the great accomplishment. As you know that you work, one with the Father, there are no limitations, no boundaries, you know it is your divine right to accomplish all things.

"Then follow me only as I follow the Christ, the true Son, the only-begotten of the Father; and, as I bring forth and present God, I do bring forth God from within. Then will it be said all are God.

"The greatest sermon ever given is "BEHOLD GOD.' This means seeing God standing forth in all glory right within and from you and from all others also. When you behold God and nothing else but God, you love and worship God and God alone; you truly behold God. You are the Lord, the Lawgiver, the dispenser of the Law.

"When you pray, enter your closet, the secret chamber of your own soul. There, pray to your Father within; and your Father, who hears, does reward you openly. Pray and give thanks that you are able to give forth more of God to the whole world.

"Does this not give you a higher and more lofty outlook, a broader perspective, a nobler ideal?"

Compassion of course.   If we all got what we deserved, how terrible could that be?  
I think that the idea of justice is just to broadly interpreted to mean many different things, so many that it is in fact, not just.  Because of the concept of who's idea of justice.

But here is the hitch.  There is something higher than the word justice as it is used mostly in this world.  That would be "law".  The law that says that what you put out will come back to you, what goes around comes around, the 'as you sow shall ye reap', LAW is in my opinion a very good law and very necessary, and it is truly a just law....If we put out good, good comes back and we want that to be this way.  Yet for that to be this way the opposite of it has to be true as well that if we put out hate, hate comes back to us as well.   I think this law is completely impersonal, no respector of persons. It is something that just works and works every time whether it is noticed that it is working or not.  And it ties right in to the concept of energy.  Energy is being studied a lot these days by scientist and they tell us that energy travels in circles.  So of course this makes sense that what you put out there will come back and hit you in its return. Not only that but it may come back stronger than it was sent out by you IF it is not accepted by the one you sent it to.  It becomes like a gift marked,"Return to Sender".  We have to be very careful what we send out because it can come back and have to settle within our selves......I am glad that this law works.....It keeps us honest.
