A New Meditation 4/4

Wim Haverkamp

Be serious. Really practice this new form of meditation and others that I’m going to give you from now on, because I am convinced that nothing can change your outer experience from a materialistic one to a spiritual one, from a discordant and inharmonious one to a very joyous one except whatever it is that will lift you above the physical and mortal sense of existence into the divine consciousness where you are touched by the Christ, the divine Presence itself.

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)

Starting The Contemplative Life (2/5)

Wim Haverkamp

The Kingdom of God is a Spirit, not a super human being, but a Spirit! And this step constitutes the very first step in attaining spiritual Light. It is the very first step in attaining an awareness of the presence of God because if you cannot accept this, then you would have to say, “Well, only Jews can have the presence of God,” or “Only Baptists can have the presence of God,” or “Only Buddhists can have the presence of God.” But this is nonsense. The presence of God is within you . . . whoever the “you” may be. Continue reading Starting The Contemplative Life (2/5)

Spiritual illumination

Wim Haverkamp

Illumination first brings peace, then confidence and assurance; it brings rest from the world’s contests, and then all good flows to us through Grace. We see now that we do not live by acquiring, gaining, or achieving. We live by Grace; we possess all as the gift of God; we do not get our good, because we already have all good. “Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine” Continue reading Spiritual illumination

Easter: The Rising Above All Material Ties

Wim Haverkamp

That brings us to the Resurrection when, after having died to personal sense and having entombed that false sense of self, our true Self rises out of that tomb of the little self and walks this earth free: free and infinite, immortal and eternal, full of God-being. That is our Easter, our day of ascension, and we find that in our self-renunciation, as in our humility, we have stepped out of a tomb. We are walking the earth now, not full of personal possessions or personal virtues, but filled with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of the Lord God Almighty which is upon us, and then we are ordained. Now that material sense has been thoroughly quenched, our real nature, our real being, can come to light. Continue reading Easter: The Rising Above All Material Ties

The Revelation Of Spiritual Identity

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter 1964 – September Aka – Realization of Oneness By Joel Goldsmith Part 8 of 8 The Revelation of Spiritual Identity The Ever-Presence and Availability of Illumined Consciousness The Soul or the life of an individual never dies, nor does it lose its attained development. Therefore, Jesus the Christ who left this experience in full illumination still exists and lives. He does not live in any place. He lives in and as consciousness, and since consciousness is infinite, he lives and exists in your consciousness and in mine, and it is within our power to receive light and … Continue reading The Revelation Of Spiritual Identity

The Nature of God (4/5)

Wim Haverkamp

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 5 I wrote a book review on a book which was written by a minister in which he said he made experiments with plants and found that prayer would help to grow them and that prayer could be used to destroy them. And you know, of course, that that’s not true. There isn’t one of you here who has any right to believe that because you must know that prayer concerns God. You must know that prayer is an activity that … Continue reading The Nature of God (4/5)
