Christmas – New Year’s Message

Wim Haverkamp

Abide in this Word. Abide in It, live in It. You have meat that the world knows not of. This is the Christ message: You have meat, wine and water and resurrection. You have within you a Presence that was planted there by God that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. And if you live in this awareness morning to night and night to morning, the crust of the human demonstration will break, and the spiritual demonstration will come through. Continue reading Christmas – New Year’s Message

The Religion Of Mysticism (4/4)

Wim Haverkamp

In this very moment, relax, so that the word “Peace” can reach and touch you. Let “My Spirit” guide and enrich you. Let “My Spirit” be a Presence going before you to make the crooked places straight. Learn to rest, and rely on this assurance of “My Presence.” Let the peace that passeth understanding descend upon you and envelop you. Let it be the love unto your life; let it be the Presence and the Power unto your life. Continue reading The Religion Of Mysticism (4/4)

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 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.

Attain That Mind (4/4)

Wim Haverkamp

There is not far-off God singling you out for special favors, but there is a God of whom one of our great poets wrote: “Speak to Him thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet. Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.” He is closer to you than breathing, and this God within you, this power, this divine love, this infinite wisdom is ready, as you permit it, to perform all you are given to do.
