The Religion Of Mysticism (3/4)

Wim Haverkamp

If you are called upon for a healing and you know only one statement of truth, pour it, voice it, think it, and it will be followed by another. If you have only one dollar, break it, spend it, dime by dime, quarter by quarter: know that as each coin follows the other, so will one dollar follow upon another. God is your only capacity, and God fulfills Itself moment by moment. Even God cannot live the next hour—just this moment. Even the sun cannot shine tomorrow—this is the moment of its shining. Out of the infinite nature of God flows this universe, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, on into eternity. Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (3/4)

The Religion Of Mysticism (2/4)

Wim Haverkamp

“Illumination dissolves all material ties and binds men together with the golden chains of spiritual understanding; it acknowledges only the leadership of the Christ; it has no ritual or rule but the divine, impersonal universal Love; no other worship than the inner Flame that is ever lit at the shrine of Spirit. This union is the free state of spiritual brotherhood. The only restraint is the discipline of Soul, therefore we know liberty without license; we are a united universe without physical limits; a divine service to God without ceremony or creed. The illumined walk without fear—by Grace.” Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (2/4)

The Religion Of Mysticism (1/4)

Wim Haverkamp

  Only as love becomes embodied within our consciousness, and only as we learn not to condemn, judge or criticize others, to hold no one in bondage to his errors of omission or commission, can we realize the power of love. Only as we learn to pray that the eyes even of our enemies be opened to the Christ, praying that God be the light, wisdom and understanding governing all men, friend or foe, regardless of race, color or creed, are we lifted into a consciousness that frees, not only ourselves but all those who come within range of our thought. We free others from their errors even as we are freed from our own. Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (1/4)

Open Out a Way

Wim Haverkamp

Today you begin the rebirth. You “die” today. You “die” today to the human being seeking good. You must be reborn of the spirit of God into the realization of good flowing forth through you. Pray? Yes, yes! Pray without ceasing, but do not ask, beseech, or beg God. No, no. Prayer must now be an inner communion with the source of all good. It must not be asking for things; it must be a recognition that at the center of your being there is this invisible vine which has been placed there in the beginning in order that you might be fulfilled. Then your good will appear in the outer realm in whatever form is necessary. Continue reading Open Out a Way

The Healing Consiousness

Wim Haverkamp

At one time it was believed that the sun revolved around the earth. That was illusion, but was the illusion ever externalized? No, the illusion existed in universal belief or universal human thought. But let us suppose that in my ignorance I believe the sun goes around the earth, thereby making that belief mine. Or suppose I believe I am ill and I make that a part of me by accepting that belief. I have then taken it out of the universal and made it personal to me, and I will be ill unless I can find someone who will agree to disagree, who will refuse to accept the disease even though I can show it to him, someone who will stand back and say, “Now wait a minute. How can this be? If there is a God and God is infinite, then this cannot be.” You have to have the same vision that Christopher Columbus had in looking at a flat world, a vision that does not merely see through the mind but that has an intuitive sense which sees through the appearance.

The Tree Of Life (5/5)

Wim Haverkamp

Now remember this, the contemplative is never praying for anything, for anybody. The only motive of prayer is to commune with the center of our being, that which we call God. The only object of prayer is to receive, consciously, an inner assurance: I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. I am with thee to the end of the world. But remember, if I say those words, they are meaningless and powerless. But if I hear them within, they can raise the dead; they can raise the cripple; they can resurrect; they can renew, restore, regenerate. Continue reading The Tree Of Life (5/5)

The Tree Of Life (4/5)

Wim Haverkamp

And the usual struggle in life is to overcome enemies and try to make friends, but this is not the way of the contemplative. The contemplative knows: “It is I. It is I. This tree is all there is, even if I’m seeing a thousand different branches, it is one tree. It is I, It is I. Be not afraid; it is I. There is not me and another; there is one tree of life. We are all one in that tree, of that tree.” Continue reading The Tree Of Life (4/5)

The Tree Of Life (3/5)

Wim Haverkamp

In the same way, it is so easy to believe that we can benefit each other. This is the natural belief of the natural man, the ego man. But you see, one branch cannot benefit another branch. Whatever benefit may come to you or me through each other is really only the life itself using us as its instrument. The benefit that comes into your experience from any direction is really God flowing Itself into your experience. Continue reading The Tree Of Life (3/5)

The Tree Of Life (1/5)

Wim Haverkamp

That is why in prayer almost all prayer is a waste of time.  Well, let’s not put it that badly, just ninety-nine percent of it.  Ninety-nine percent of all prayer is a waste of time.  The reason for it is that ninety-nine percent of all prayer is an attempt to get something for one’s self or for another – in other words, to add to one’s ego, by virtue of one’s own powers, even if it is the power of prayer. Afterward then we can take pride in, “Oh, my prayers are so effective,” or “I have access to God,” or “I understand how to receive God’s grace.”  Again, it is a feeding of the ego.
