The Spiritual Christmas part 2

Wim Haverkamp

The world will accept the Christ when the world is sufficiently in need of It: The Hebrews under Pharaoh accepted Moses, but their need was great; the Hebrews under Caesar accepted the Christ, also because their need was great. And so this entire world will accept the Christ when its need becomes great enough. Some evidence of this is becoming apparent because in those countries that have experienced the greatest problems we have found the greatest receptivity and response.

Open Out a Way

Wim Haverkamp

Today you begin the rebirth. You “die” today. You “die” today to the human being seeking good. You must be reborn of the spirit of God into the realization of good flowing forth through you. Pray? Yes, yes! Pray without ceasing, but do not ask, beseech, or beg God. No, no. Prayer must now be an inner communion with the source of all good. It must not be asking for things; it must be a recognition that at the center of your being there is this invisible vine which has been placed there in the beginning in order that you might be fulfilled. Then your good will appear in the outer realm in whatever form is necessary. Continue reading Open Out a Way

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)

Starting The Contemplative Life (1/5)

Wim Haverkamp

The reason it makes no difference what their religion may be is, of course, that there is only one God, there is only one Spirit. That Spirit doesn’t know the difference between a Jew or a Gentile; it doesn’t know the difference between a Protestant or a Catholic, an Oriental or an Occidental, or an American Indian. As far as the Spirit is concerned, it is entirely without any religious beliefs, convictions, ceremonies, rights, creeds, or forms of worship. It is an absolutely free and independent Spirit that permeates us just the same as the life of nature permeates a blade of grass, or it permeates an orchid, or a daisy, a violet, and it really doesn’t know the difference. And it makes no difference to it, whether it is a mongrel dog or a full-blooded dog – the same Life animates it; the same Spirit animates it. Continue reading Starting The Contemplative Life (1/5)

God Is The Only Being

Wim Haverkamp

Every relationship in life is based on the belief that there are two or more of us – two or more of us in the home, two or more of us in the business.  All spiritual truth, on the other hand, is based on the fact that there is only oneI, one Consciousness, one Soul, one Spirit, and I am that I am.  All that the Father has is mine – all that is true of Iis true of the son.

God Seeks Us (3/5)

Wim Haverkamp

  God is not like anything we think He is. In cleansing the temple, the first things we must discard are our old concepts of God. Let us accept God as God, without any preconceived idea or outline of what we shall find when we do become acquainted with Him. It will be an entirely different experience than any we have ever thought or visualized or believed. Continue reading God Seeks Us (3/5)

Advanced Instruction In Healing (1/5)

Wim Haverkamp

Spiritual healing is accomplished through either the natural or the developed spiritual consciousness of an individual. And, spiritual consciousness is your or my individual consciousness when we no longer turn to a God for healing; when we no longer believe that there is a God withholding healing and by virtue of turning to someone or something, God is going to do for us what God wasn’t doing yesterday. It is only in proportion as you know that there are not two powers in the world, that there is not a power of evil that requires a power of God that you develop spiritual consciousness.
