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)

The Mystical Realm Translated

Wim Haverkamp

There cannot be opposites. God is infinite. Now take all your sins and all your diseases, and all your lacks and all your limitations, and all your bad appetites, and throw them in the waste basket. Stop fearing them and let them disappear of their own accord. And they will. They’ll fade out of your consciousness because they have no sustaining powers of their own. It’s your own mind that’s sustaining them. Continue reading The Mystical Realm Translated

The Fabric of Being (2/5)

Wim Haverkamp

Remember that in your first year of piano lessons you’re not expected to give any concerts in this hall; and so in your first months of working with this principle of non-power, you’re not expected to overcome all of the problems of your life or those of your family or friends; you’re expected only to begin, to make a start because it is not your intellectual agreement with this principle that does the work, but the attaining of the actual consciousness of this truth; and that comes with practice.

The Essence Of The Infinite

Wim Haverkamp

Now in our work we handle every claim: disease, sin, false appearance—that is brought to us not as a person but as the presentation of the carnal mind in one form or another. And then recognize that since the carnal mind is not ordained of God, it is not power. It has no power, is not a law, has no law and therefore must fall by virtue of its own nothingness. By impersonalizing evil in that way we have found that most of the claims yield quickly and thoroughly because we have not touched a person. We have not tried to change a person or psychoanalyze a person. We have known the truth which is that all evil is a belief in two powers. Continue reading The Essence Of The Infinite

Good Friday: The Crucifixion of Personal Sense

Wim Haverkamp

       There we see the principle of Good Friday, the principle of the crucifixion of personal sense, a crucifixion of the belief that we of ourselves have qualities of good or quantities of good. But with that crucifixion, comes the resurrection in the realization, “I am nothing, but I can give you all.” Why? Because “the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” Continue reading Good Friday: The Crucifixion of Personal Sense

The “I”within (2/4)

Wim Haverkamp

Above all things, from this moment on we must never declare that anything is beyond our ability; we must not accept any sense of limitation; we must not accept the belief that any good is beyond our capacity or reach, or that any heights are too high to attain, for there are no limits to the I which I am after I have made contact with It.  It becomes literally true that I live yet not I; Christ, the infinite, the unlimited, the unbounded, the unfettered lives my life.
