Open the Door of the Consciousness of the World

All the evil of the world has come about because of a sense of separation from God. We have accepted man on earth and God in heaven, and thereby have separated ourselves in belief from God, instead of being able to walk up and down this world knowing: I and the Father are so one that if I stand before Pilate, I can say, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.” Before Pilate, the greatest temporal power of the universe? Yes, even he could have no power over us unless it … Continue reading Open the Door of the Consciousness of the World

They always found something that they, themselves, could not provide and then sought it from their deity, as if actually God were withholding it and by their prayers they were going to get God to let loose of it.
