Jesus Teaching about ONE PRIMAL ELEMENT.
Diana
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?"

Not sure how helpful this was, I have trouble with the character of Jesus being used outside of the bible. I think this kind of thing is said over and over and over, but it's just inaccessible to most. It's not the kind of narrative I can click with. Keep digging… I'm positive you have some more stories that will get to me. I can feel I'm on the verge of some profound realization, and hey… it's probably worth it (for me) for you to keep posting stuff, Diana!
James, think of it….Jesus still talks to people even now a days. We have much to learn from the continued words of Jesus and others of the Masters who very often speak in the naratives I read…Not only that, I myself had a teacher once who had gone into the etheric plane and talked to Jesus, and Yogananda, and Buddha and others as well. Her name was Ann Hughes and she worked a lot in the etheric. She said some things many of those who were drawn to her did not want to hear, and much also that they were encouraged by.
What they did not want to hear was, “Love does not charge for Love, how could it? for there were many who came to hear her who had teaching schools , but that they did not most definitely want to hear that about love. She said it was the last great hurdle that faces the lightworkers, this thinking that they have to charge for their teachings. She also said the Master is called “Unconditional Love”. Most of us are taking the scenic path to God she explained, and that is all right as long as it gets us there, but the more direct route is to BE, to simply BE…..BE LOVE…..We wanted to hear her tell us what it was that we were to do, what is our mission we ask her and she would simply say, “Be Love Beloved”. She was really something but she never wanted followers or anyone to take notes or make of her that she was any more special than anyone else. Yet her story was profound. She was awakened nightly by a bright pink light in her bedroom and communication with St. Francis of Assisi, for over a year. She traveled with him to his time on earth and felt all that he felt, talked about his life as Francis, his father and his family members, and his leaving of his family to be sort of like a wandering mystic.
She talked to Jesus while being in the etheric and ask him questions. Having never delved into the Bible she did not know a lot about Jesus and she said to him, 'I heard that you healed a lot of people”…He told her that he had healed no one, he had only seen them as perfect and so they were healed by his vision of their true state. He knew that they thought they were lame, blind, and sick but he drew them into his vision of them. Ann talked to Jesus, even called him J.C. and he told her she could call him Fred if she wished. He told her that he could not come back as Jesus as so many people expect him to do someday. That was because as he said, there are too many interpretations of how it will be when Jesus returns, what manner he will come back in, what place he will show up in, that it would cause much to much division were he to come back as Jesus.
In fact a code word for Jesus was that of Fransis, for the name Fransis does not stirr up all the divisive ideas of how it will be, as the name Jesus does. I had no trouble seeing this concept.
I know James that you can think outside the box. The Bible keeps Jesus in a box but he is too big to be confined there. Many people talk to Jesus as do I. It is no big deal for he has always spoke to people who have desired to know him and who have believed that he could and he would. We are deserving and we are definitely needing to hear his words spoken to us.
I too have talked to and heard an intelligence and wisdom of vast proportions, at various times it's shown me things or guided me. I've never dared given it a name, for NAMING in the first place can be that 'box' for many things, just as the Bible can be for Jesus. Also, in terms of language about it, 'his/her' bothers me too. It is so beyond gender. It is so beyond a lot of things, isn't it? Do we need to name it, or can we let it stay within the deep silence and deep unknown from which it came?
As a writer, I am continually tormented by this decision. I generally chose discression and subtlety, opting to speak with the lexicon and symbols that the person(s) I'm speaking to are more comfortable with, easing them into new symbols/concepts gently. I can appreciate your manner of illustrating the phenomenon here and in your comment, but you must know that my honest opinion is that it is limiting. Dress it up and avoid dialogue: stories are better to be about actions than about someone's words, right?
My two cents,

I understand where you are coming from in your chosing not to name a guiding voice in your telling of a story of fiction. But if on the other hand, your experience were with the actual personages as was that of Baird Spalding, then you would most definitely give the name of the ones you had taken notes on of what they had said. Biard Spalding and a team of researcher went over to India in the late 1800's to meet these masters who they had but heard stories about, many stories which they were suspicious were entirely made up ones with no basis of fact. Yet when they had found them and studied with them and lived among them for almost eight years altogether, they then knew the truth and came away convinced, so much so that two of the researchers went back determined to stay there until they themselves could obtain the same degree of mastery that they had witnessed and recorded and proven to themselves to be true.
But in their being there and having the experiences that he relates of with the bandits coming to raid the village and all, he is telling of a happening, not a ficticious happening that one might give any name they choose to present, but a real happened that happened to his own person and those researchers who traveled there with him. Maybe, just maybe I am being navie to believe that their account was a true account. I can only say that I feel that it was a true account. it is my gut feeling that it was told as it happened.
Yet people may read Baird Spaldings books as though they were fiction, but to me what he has to say is his experience, his findings, and results of having endeavered and traveled and been a first hand experiencer. As well I find that I want to know what Jesus had to say to him and his fellow comrads. I believe that he experienced all that he said he did because I do not see these things he spoke of as being outside the range of possibilities of what a master can do.
It is true that people with fixed ideas of what Jesus said in the Bible as being their only source of his words, might be turned off by a book that reads of Jesus having said this or that, whatever it might be. But for those who can not stretch their minds and take that leap of faith that this just might possibly be Jesus speaking, then the words are too big for them to hear anyway. It is just that those people are not ready yet, (no condemnation) but it is not to those who are 'not ready' that I personally wish to have for an audience. If I were writing a book and it was for the purpose of engaging people to consider some truths, and especially if I wanted them to know of an actual experience I had, I would use the name of the actual one talking as did Spalding. I have done some little bit of research and have read the comments of others who believe that Spalding never even went to India and that he wrote fiction that he believed to be truth….This I don't have enough information on to determine whether it be true or not but that allegation has been spoken about Spalding.
I realize that I can not prove to you or to anyone for that matter, not even unto myself, that the experiences that Spalding wrote of in his series of books on the teachings of the masters of the Far East are actually the real unadulterated experiences he had. Neither could I prove the Bible to be the actual words Jesus spoke and others words as well who were inspired to say what they did there. I can only know for sure one person, myself. I know my own desire to know truth, to understand and comprehend the power that I believe that we have latent within ourselves. I can only know for certain myself and my own sincerity and I would admit that it is possible for me to fool myself or delude myself, though in this case I don't think that I have but it is a possiblility.
People will relate to that which I post or they will not but it matters not if they do not relate to my truth or what I beleive others have told to be truth. It only means that for them there is some other way that they arrive at their truth and that other way serves them as their best way of comprehending according to their capacity for receiving information and accepting or rejecting it.
About what you are writing, what is your targeted audience? Do you wish to make it acceptable to the widest majority of people, or are you specifically speaking to a certain mindset of people?
