Quantum singing over creation -rjs

Allness

SOUND OF THE SPIRIT
Robin Starbuck, Ph.D.

I earnestly believe that God will sing over His creation until its culmination when there’s no longer a distinction between earth and heaven itself.
We are becoming increasingly more familiar with the construct of types and shadows; but when we extend that awareness first to the subatomic level and then recognize that God – in all His hugeness – reigns in the realm of the smallest neutron, we will better comprehend how His son, Jesus, could perform the mind-boggling miracles that he did with such ease.
Jesus spoke (sang) in human language but it was clearly from the Spirit. Plain and simple, his utterances had their counterpart – their source – in a dimension beyond our own!
Sounds that we hear actually communicate messages from above and give new meaning to the prayer language known as ‘tongues’ – a direct communion with a higher realm. So, when you ‘hear’ the wave of the Holy Spirit in your spirit, it’s time – not to freak out – but to rejoice!

After Kulhman, what? -rjs

Some people seem to coast along spiritually – never having any problems they can’t easily handle. They’re not like the rest of us who combat serious issues at every turn. I’ll return to this dichotomy in a little while, but first I’d like to revisit a rather flamboyant – and powerfully effective healer.

Kathryn Kuhlman was an amazing speaker, teacher and healer who kept her huge audiences spellbound as she floated across the stage in gorgeous evening gowns! She healed thousands (millions in total) of people in very advanced stages of crippling diseases every night of her stay all over the country.

I totally ‘get’ why she dressed so theatrically: it was a persona that she was slipping into and helped her immensely in keeping her focus. People were rightfully ecstatic when they saw their loved ones healed. Who wouldn’t be?

But, alas, the story goes, a large percentage of the healings soon reversed. I was not the least bit surprised with that crushing development: the newly-healed people needed to do their part AFTER THE FACT. They needed a spiritual mentality that was on the same level as they had risen to.

People seeking healing from Kathryn Kuhlman were entirely focused on their desperate physical need with precious little concern for the sudden shift in their entire life situation. They simply couldn’t maintain their healings. Their god was physicality from start to finish.

The complacency issue alluded to above ran unchecked with Kuhlman’s followers as it does with people who never seem to have much of a problem these days. They never want to upset the apple-cart and go on to a higher level of living. As I ponder this mesmeric situation, I’m tempted to feel more grateful than ever before that I have had unspeakably trying problems which – when healed – catapulted me to a level I had never anticipated before but for which I had been very well prepared.

Yes existence but not material -JSG

Joel Solomon Goldsmith

HERE IT IS !! . Joel is explaining how it is that everything does have existence – just not the way we sometimes perceive it!
[The dots from ●● to ●

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Through false education, which constitutes finite sense, we have come to fear certain individuals, things, and conditions, not realizing that ●●as these are coming to us through the avenue of consciousness they are all God-being, Consciousness-appearing, Spirit-substance.● Material consciousness is the false finite sense which beholds the universe and man as limited, as being both good and evil. Spiritual consciousness is the awareness of the individual as God-being, as having only the mind of God and the body of Spirit. It recognizes the entire universe as mind-appearing and governed by divine Principle. Spiritual consciousness is the ability to see beyond the appearance to reality. It is the recognition and realization that as God is our mind, all that appears to us is in and of God which is our only consciousness. Spiritual consciousness does not overcome or destroy matter or material conditions, but knows that no such conditions exist which finite sense presents. It translates the appearance for us, revealing the true nature of that which is appearing.

The Voice you hear -rjs

Robin Starbuck

T H A T . V O I C E
That you hear in your spirit
When you desire to listen,
The “Voice” of God,
is always talking to you
In just the right tonality
Within your soul.

You can silently hear
T H A T . V O I C E
And know beyond all
Shadow of doubt,
As the Balm of Gilead,
God is speaking to you
In you and as you.

T H A T . V O I C E
Guiding, loving, clarifying
Breathing, speaking, ever
Waiting for your perfect
Readiness, – receiving,
Drawing fully from the
Wellspring of your Soul.

Still vacillating? -rjs

Robin Starbuck

S T I L L . V A C I L L A T I N G
Between perfect listening
And all the noise of people,
Politics, society, deadlines.
Dis-ease, fear, pain, death?

THERE’S A BETTER WAY!
Quit your mind altogether!
“Think with your heart.”
Not the blood-pumping organ:
Be in your Soul, Spirit, God.

You’ll no longer have to strive
To eliminate errors of thinking,
Feeling, acting, lulling to sleep,
Dastardly, hypnotic, hate-filled
Mesmeric meanderings from…

“Matter as such does not exist,”
Quantum physics laboriously
Proved repeatedly. But the whole
World scurries around to learn
All it can about “That which isn’t”!

There’s nothing to let go of -RAdams

Adams, Robert

“Why not understand your divinity right now and accept it. It’s not hard to do. Remember, there’s nothing to let go of. You do not have to affirm yourself to death, saying things like, ‘I let go now of all of my fears, all my sorrows.’ There are no fears and no sorrows to let go of. There never were any like that. They do not exist. Try to remember there’s absolutely nothing to let go of.

There’s only to be. In other words, you do not have to redeem yourself. You do not have to pray to an anthropomorphic deity up in the sky somewhere. There’s nothing you have to do, for you are already that. You have always been that, and you’re that right now; beautiful, happy, joyous, fulfilled, complete, absolute. It’s wonderful. “

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
