Mistaken Identity

In class one of the sentences of the Government of Eden popped out: Ignorance of our true identity is the only cause of error in our experience (pg 23) You wouldn’t even notice the sentence.. until now. Do you hear what it says and are you willing to look at your own temporal experience to see how this “ignorance” is manifest. Amazing isn’t it. Continue reading Mistaken Identity

Contemplative Meditation On Grace 3/5

Because the higher you go in the mental realm, the more it becomes intuitive and instinctive rather than actually mental power. As you leave the mental realm for the spiritual—and these are never synonymous; these are two entirely different states of consciousness—you find that you use less and less of the mental, until, if it is possible to rise high enough, you may use none at all. Continue reading Contemplative Meditation On Grace 3/5

Grace (2/4): True Humility

Christ Consciousness is “this mind …which was also in Christ Jesus,” voicing Itself. You must cultivate It. A few people are born into the world with some measure of Christhood, but everyone may develop and cultivate this awareness to the degree of his fidelity to study and meditation. Your receptivity consists in keeping open the passageway of consciousness so that you may recognize and welcome the Christ as It touches and awakens your Soul into newness of life. In the silence of your being Christ speaks, and you hear: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee…I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” This consciousness of God’s Presence is developed in quietness and stillness, in patience and perseverance; by abstaining from mental power or physical might, so that “my spirit” may function as your life. “Be still, and know that I am God.” Continue reading Grace (2/4): True Humility

The Religion Of Mysticism (2/4)

“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 Realisation of Oneness

Deep within every person is a hunger for the bread of life.  Friends, relatives, and even acquaintances who find their way to your home ostensibly seeking companionship, supply, or any form of material good, even though from their point of view that may be their purpose, are in reality longing and craving for the true substance of life, the meat that perisheth not.  If you give them money and give them that alone, if you give them your physical, human companionship, and give them that alone, you are giving them a stone:  You are not giving them the bread of life; you are not lifting their state of consciousness.  This you can do only in the degree that you are specifically entertaining the consciousness of truth within your being as they come to you: Continue reading The Realisation of Oneness

What about this body (1/4)

        One problem which is uppermost in the lives of a great many people is that of health, that of an ailing or aging body. Even those who are at the moment experiencing physical well-being are puzzled by the relationship of what they see as a material body to the spiritual scheme of things. What about this body? How does it fit into a spiritual universe? Is this material body the Word made flesh? Is it the material body or only the spiritual body which is resurrected? Does the material body manifest God?
