Herb Fitch Audio Series onBill Skyles’ Mystical PrinciplesThunder of SilenceOn top of LIST of Herb Fitch’s audio tracks, there are 1-11 and are not named THUNDER OF SILENCE. At the very END of the List are track numbers 12-19 also not named. Added to List at end is THUNDER #1&B.They have “(1)” attached because they do also appear elsewhere in the List. ●●●You can smoothly do the whole list by starting with all Thunder of Silence beginning with number 1A&B at the end of the List and then everything at the top of the list that is not yet La Jolla or Revelation is thunder of silence. It can be done in chronological order by skipping around or just simply do it in the order that it is in the list skipping La Jolla and revelation temporarily then go back and do La Jolla and Revelation. I think later on in there, there might be Parenthesis in Eternity sprinkled in but after La Jolla and Revelation so you could probably just do those tracks when they appear in that order. It won’t disrupt anything.

Review Herb Fitch, skiles -rjs

Dr. Robin Starbuck5.0 out of 5 starsVerified PurchaseReviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019This is HEALING at its finest!f you’re ready for the meat and potatoes of Healing, this book is just right for you. Herb Fitch meticulously shows us the many, many issues and pitfalls that we face when we determine to commit ourselves fully to the mission of healing. His method of dealing with said issues is par excellence!
Herb’s use of the words “We must…” is uncanny! We must follow the steps laid down, we must reassert the truth until the error backs down … or we do! LOL. And we must expect nothing less than full healing.
I’m also most humbly grateful to Bill Skiles for his tireless efforts to give us this treasure trove of Herb Fitch in such an elegant, orderly and easily accessible format.
Dr. Robin Starbuck Thank you for your review.

Brian Ganley5.0 out of 5 starsReviewed in the United States on September 16, 2013Physician Heal ThyselfIn this series Herb Fitch guides the reader to an understanding of true healing. Firstly, he is shown that in order to do successful healing work, the notion of mental practice has to be abandoned to give way to the realization that there is nothing in the objective world to be considered. The reader is taught that the primal task is to find one’s true nature as exemplified by Jesus the Christ. Further,as he continues through the pages,it is revealed how absent healing is possible. Understanding this enables all readers to be healing practitioners.

BEHEAD THE SENSE MIND/ BODY UNDERSTOOD
HERB FITCH – 8/24/68


BEHEAD THE SENSE MIND
Up to now we have from time to time been in meditations in this class but basically it has been one of the Revelation of inner truths that have that are revealed in the Bible. Now there should come a moment in our lives when we discover that the inner truths revealed in the Bible are sort of there for a purpose of lifting us up to the level of that truth and beyond that truth. It isn’t sufficient to come up to the level of the Bible anymore than it would be to come up to the level of the ladder. You are getting on the ladder to reach higher and you are absorbing the message of the Bible not to pull you up to the level with the words of the Bible by any means. Once you have come to the conclusion that I and the Father are one, you are not going to go around repeating it. Now because I and the Father are one certain things are going to happen. I and the Father realized as one becomes the ladder to lift you higher into new deeds. You become, you might say, a living Bible. You become the inner voice of revelation itself functioning as your being.
Now as you sit back through the advantage of time you can see the Ark of Noah, its three levels and you begin to perceive you are seeing the outer man, the inner man and the Father—the three levels. You begin to see the three sons of Noah as the repetition of that idea. You begin to see Job as the spirit of inquiry, the freedom of man seeking the fulfillment of the Father. You learn that Job was in the city of Uz which is short abbreviated for Uztapha the Hebrew word for the City of Meditation. And you begin to see that through meditation from the Whirlwind there came a voice to Job which reconciled him to the loss of all of his possessions so that no longer did he care about the loss of material things. Oh, he regretted losing them, he regretted all of the things that happened to him but now he had an inner vision of something beyond of what he had thought was life and it silenced his tongue. And once this inner vision came, you remember all of his worldly goods were restored to him and he became a father again. The inner voice melted the earth.
Now these glimpses of the Bible slowly reveal to us another kingdom than the world of our senses. We begin to learn that we have been living in an imitation universe. And we see this very well portrayed by John the Baptist. Certain pieces of the Bible are now beginning to form the pieces that make the jigsaw puzzle come alive. John the Baptist beheaded and we see a significance there, we see the reliance upon the intellect. The reliance upon the mind! The reliance upon the sense mind has been removed. The symbolism of the beheading John’s head tells us that now mental man has had his day and will be decreased while spiritual man walks the earth. And so John is decreased while Jesus appears. And later just as the mind, the sense mind/the human mind, the head of John the Baptist is removed why so is the body of Jesus the Christ. And you see the relationship of the two events. First the head of John the Baptist and then the body of Jesus the Christ with one significant difference—John the Baptist didn’t rise again in the same body because he had lived in the head; Jesus the Christ rose again in the same body because he had lived in the spirit. And we go a step further and we see one more significant feature that both men, both men were killed by the same man. You see Herod Antipas behead John the Baptist. You see Herod Antipas giving the final order for the crucifixion of Jesus the Christ. And you see that you have just seen the lower waters, the higher waters and the firmament between. John the Baptist the lower water, the firmament between Herod Antipas and the higher waters Jesus the Christ.
When you live in the lower waters, the human intellect/the sense mind, your life is taken from you and you cannot rise again in that same form. You do not have power over Herod Antipas. But when you live in the higher water, when you life is taken from you, you discover it hasn’t been taken because Herod Antipas has no power over the higher water—the living waters and so the Christ forms emerges again as Jesus. Now there is a further significance and we find it in our Revelation of St. John when through John Jesus Christ reveals that Herod Antipas is the faithful martyr of God, of the spirit. Now that came through in our class in Revelation and this further Revelation about it at this moment is very important so I want to read you that in the Book of Revelations which was such a staggering revelation to us then.
In chapter 2, Revelation of St. John, John is receiving the letter to the churches from the spirit and in this second church, (13) I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Now you see this revelation of Herod Antipas as the martyr of God is important to us because it reveals to us that all evil on the face of the earth is a camouflage. Mind you Jesus was crucified by the Antipas and rose from the dead, John the Baptist was behead by the Antipas. And in both cases the greatest human teacher John the Baptist, and the greatest spirit teach, Jesus the Christ both fall victim to this one Herod Antipas but now in the Revelation of St. John it is revealed that Herod Antipas is the martyr of God, of the spirit. And we see the necessity of drawing back and revealing to our own outer consciousness, look you out there, you have always run your universe you have lived in this imitation world. You have lived in the world of good and evil but I the spirit within I must teach you now that this physical universe, this John the Baptist universe, this Herod Antipas universe, even this physical Jesus Christ universe is the outer world teaching of an inner kingdom of a nonphysical universe that exists and is governed by God through the Father within. Everything in the outer has its place and its position and its purpose to reveal to us the within. And you cannot be in the wrong place; even the wrong place is the right place because you are in the wrong place in order to learn where the right place is. You cannot find good matter, you cannot find evil matter, and you cannot find matter. And therefore you cannot apply the word good to anything or the word evil to anything because once you do you have accepted matter, which you have now pronounced good or evil. And so as we put the pieces together again, we see behind the martyrdom of Herod Antipas—it as necessary to teach us to behead the mind, to behead the intellect, to behead the sense perception of a universe that isn’t real.
And then when one had done this and, he was beheaded, crucified, entombed which is the same not living in sense perception, he would rise in the same form. Now what is the message for us that every evil is a martyr in disguise? It goes so far as to behead and yet it is a martyr in disguise. It could entomb us but it is a martyr in disguise. And yet we can go beyond. We can see that the beheading is our teaching to rise above the John the Baptist level and that the crucifixion is a commandment to rise above the human form. And to perceive behind them that the human form can never be surmounted unless we first surmount the human mind. The sequence is important. The human mind must be transcended before you can transcend the belief in the tomb of matter. And only then is it revealed that each has played a role and out from behind the curtain steps the spirit of God itself saying now you have seen my teaching, put not your faith in princes, cease ye from man, cease ye from the mortal body, cease ye from the mortal mind. And all around us everyday this is reenacted.
Suppose for example as a mother your child died. And someone came to you and said there is only one way this child could be brought back to life, a heart transplant. And then the doctor says that is true but I have no heart to replace this with. There is only one way, the mother must make the sacrifice, she must give up her own heart for her child. Suppose a woman was presented with this, what would she say? You know that most mothers would instantly agree they would gladly give up their own life for the child if that were the only way. But suppose a Jesus were present who could say now look you have all misplaced your faith in my teaching. Did I transplant a heart for Lazarus or for the child of the widow at Nain? Let us recognize the truth here. God is life does this child need a heart transplant or the realization of truth? Now the heart, next the brain, no it is to give up your concept of body. Your concept of body must be transplanted, not the heart, not the brain these are fine things but what are they, they are the slow revelation to the human consciousness of something that is already established in the now. We can bring the future into the now by the revelation of truth within as the living Bible not a dead Bible of something that was said yesterday. But the Bible within you tells you that God is life and God is all there cannot be a dead person here. Before they bury that child they must bury God. Before they bury any body they must bury God because God is all. And if you don’t bury God you can’t bury a person.
Now this heart doesn’t depend on another heart to replace it another pump. Why a thousand years from now they will be saying why don’t you just get another body isn’t that what reincarnation is? The spirit goes out and gets another body because we haven’t learned the truth. Now we are progressing toward it, we are getting another heart; next it will be another lung, another liver, another this, another that, another brain. Always thinking on the material level. Never getting behind the scenes to see that the invisible kingdom of the Father never has gone anywhere. The perfection of it is omnipresent and that which we call a human heart is but our mental concept of that which is the invisible spirit.
Now what is this heart, atoms? Atoms perceived by the brain appearing as matter. The whole atomic structure of the universe is the perception of the human mind brought forth into projected form. Now where did these atoms come from? If God creates them why aren’t they perfect? You see the whole atomic structure of the universe is nothing but a world brain concept of the image and likeness of God. We have the image and likeness of God, we dwell in it, we live in it, and we have our being in it—the immaculate Self. And then this shadow, this world brain, forms it image of the image and recreates it into an atomic structure. And you know that in that atomic structure is your brain, the same brain that looks around it having been formed from the world brain, the same brain looks around it at other atoms and forms concepts of them—now we have our imitation physical world. And now something goes wrong in our imitation physical world and we have catastrophes.
We must begin to see the human world as but the outer picture in imitation of our true identity and our true perfect kingdom, which is the creation of God. As long as we cannot separate from this outer world and identify ourselves with it, we are rejecting the Christ. We are rejecting the Bible that we read. We are missing “The Mark.” Now there is a moment in you when you can begin to detach from this outer scene when you can see that God’s creation being perfect, all imperfection is a mental imposition upon you which you have accepted but you cannot do it until you have located the seat through which the Father functions. Who is the servant of the most high? Why could John the Baptist not walk forth again and say here I am again Herod, you have no power over me? Because he hadn’t found the seat of the most high!
As a matter of fact, if you read the Prophet Malachi the very last one in the Old Testament he receives the word that there will be a messenger on the earth and this messenger will be merely the pacesetter for the word of God. And when John the Baptist is told, was asked by the Pharisees to identify himself, he refuses to give any name about himself merely saying, I am the voice in the wilderness. I am the man who is to come forth as the messenger for the one who will come after me. I only baptize with the water but he who comes after me will baptize with the Holy Ghost. Now this Holy Ghost, you see, didn’t come to John the Baptist and without it his beheading becomes the termination of that incarnation for him. But with the Holy Ghost, which Jesus lived with, there is no termination there is simply life eternal. Now God is not human and as long as we persist in identify with a human we are rejecting the possibility of the Holy Ghost it cannot enter the human mind nor can the government of God enter the human body. And John the Baptist beheading was necessary and is necessary for each of us to view very carefully because we must go through that same beheading. The symbolism of it cannot be ignored. As long as you are still living out of a human mind you have not been beheaded, you cannot enter the Christ Jesus stage.
Now when you are in the John the Baptist stage, living out of the human mind, you are trying to change evil and make it good. When you are in the Christ Jesus stage you learn that you don’t have to change evil anymore. And the reason is because the only one who tries to change evil is the one who hasn’t learned the secret isn’t to change evil, the secret is to change you—that’s what evil is there fore to change you. When you change the evil dissolves. Evil is the martyr, evil is the teacher, evil is good because it teaches you to rise above itself. It teaches you to behead the sense mind which perceives the evil. And in so doing you put up your sword and Herod Antipas has no power over you. You are in the Christ Jesus stage which can look out upon the kingdom of God not this imitation world.
Now this is coming above the Bible, this is coming into the place where statements in the Bible are heard by you in a different way. Now normally you are going to hear these statements in the Bible and listen to them and try to understand them and then try to apply them. For instance the Bible will say to you, I in the midst of you am mighty. Someday that becomes a very electrifying statement to you. But that is just a child activity. When you become a spiritually adult you do not hear the voice saying I in the midst of you am might, you are the voice and you are saying to outer consciousness. You are saying I in the midst of you are might to this outer man which is posing as you. You are taking it, that outer man into dominion under yourself. You begin to see every statement in the Bible this way. It isn’t something you are to hear anymore, it is something you are to deliver to this outer fellow. You begin to identify as the Iwhich is giving these statements to the outer fellow. You are not on the receiving end of these statements anymore you are giving them. And you can measure your progress by this as you feel the giving-ness of these statement to the outer fellow instead of being the outer fellow who receives them, you are coming up to the level of the Bible and then you will go beyond that level. Then the statements that come through will be your life itself, living itself. There will not be statements, there will be the word living itself as the flesh. And the whole purpose of the Bible is to get you to this point where you are the walking Bible not making statements but living the word, with the word living you. I and the Father are one is no longer something you try to remember. When the green light changes to red or the red to green, this is your consciousness and this is your life and this is your law and this is your activity and this is your being.
Now we all meditate with our eyes closed. Some of us are learning to meditate with our eyes open and we find as we meditate with our eyes open—and we find as we meditate with our eyes open we begin to see that we have come into a different level of consciousness. We are no longer simply retreating into a self-imposed silence for a minute or two or five to blot out the things of this world but rather we are looking directly at the things of this world because we have reached that level of consciousness which can say to the things of this world, I recognize you for what you are, I can look straight at you and I can nonreact, I can do this twenty four hours a day for you are but the teaching; you are not the reality, you are not the fact, you are not the life, you are but the teaching and you are my text book and I look at you and I read you. I don’t react to you I study you. And I detect from everything that happens in you the adjustment that I must make within myself. The outer becomes the evidence of the degree of awareness that we have within. That is out the outer is for. We measure our within by what we see without. And if the without is discord we know that the within has not learned its lessons.
Now we look at the without and it is our Pilate, it has no power over us because we have been beheaded. The sense mind is functioning differently now. Before it used to rush out there and pull in all of these vision and auditions, these experiences, these sensation but this sense mind is different now. We are training it to become a servant of the within not the without. It is going to rush out from within with good news with the everlasting gospel, with truth. It is going to externalize out there the truth instead of bringing within the lie. We are reversing the senses. And as we stand there looking at the without with no reaction, we are waiting for the infinite mind to define through us its truth dispelling that which we see. If we see tanks riding into Czechoslovakia we observe this with no reaction it certainly isn’t happening in my Father’s kingdom. And if we were in the midst of it, we would have to maintain that same watchfulness that inner awareness that this isn’t happening in my Father’s kingdom this is all Antipas, the fox, this is my teaching right now and I must dematerialize my consciousness. That’s right I am taking one simple little truth and I am holding it up to the Russian Army, it is that I in the midst of thee are greater he that walks the earth. And if it is true than this I in the midst of me is as powerful now while I live in the midst of the Czechoslovakia which is a concept, it is as powerful now this I in the midst of me as this I was in the midst of Hezekiah. They have only the arm of flesh; they are sowing to a material universe. But it must boomerang for them if I stand in the midst of this so-called material universe behead with no sense mind to accept the pictures living in the realization that the spirit of God in the midst of me is the spirit of God in the midst of them. One invisible spiritual life and the one in the realization of it is a majority with that spiritual life and is the law of harmony to all that it is beholding.
Now apparently the forces of this world must continue to exert themselves as the appearance of evil until we are able to spiritually assert our identity for you for me for the world evil must appear, it must continue to perpetuate itself as long as we reject the Christ within. For it is only the perpetuation of evil in our midst that tells us that we have not risen to the Christ and it is only the Christ realization that eventually dissolves the evil appearance.
The stepping forth from apparently being entombed only comes through the ascended Christ. The government of God cannot function in the material world and if you are living in a material body, the government of God cannot function in that material body as long as you entertain the notion that you have a physical body you are saying to the Father do not enter here. You are saying to the Father I prefer the law of decay and I prefer the law of good and evil matter and I prefer the law of death and I prefer the law of infection, I prefer the law of heredity. Don’t give me any of that divine law, I am going to remain a material form uncreated by God but it is safer that way.
Now the day has never come nor will it come when God created a material form. And so you must see that John the Baptist who was behead, the Herod Antipas who behead him, the Jesus Christ who was crucified these are material forms. Crucifixion was possible; beheading was possible because God does not create material forms. Human death is possible because God did not create that human body that dies. And only when we have come above the sense mind do we perceive the Christ body, which says thou has no power over me Mr. Death.
Now this Christ body is what we have been seeking but just as the entombment of Jesus, after the beheading of John the Baptist your Christ body cannot be revealed to you until you have come into the Christ mind. And you cannot do that while you still live in the sense mind, which perpetuates the illusion of the physical body. Now we have tried very hard to bring the power of God into our physical bodies, into our physical lives. And we may think to a mind measure we have succeeded but it never can be done. You can never bring the power of God into a physical form. You can bring the power of God into nothing; you have no power to bring the power of God into anything. The only power you have is summed up in the words thy of mine own self can do nothing. But the Christ body of you, the Christ mind of you it lives under the government of God and when you have shaken off the illusion that you are a physical being with a human mind and have discovered the Father within, then you have found the source of the power which walks forth impervious to all evil that appears on earth. It is the power of God functioning through the Christ mind and Christ body which is the power that dissolves the appearance of evil. And it is the Holy Ghost from the Father to the Christ mind and Christ body, which carries the Word into your experience.
Now this shuttle, this Holy Ghost, between God and the Christ mind and Christ body is the very Word of God becoming flesh. And you know that when we are in this mortal mind individual brain complex, you know what we receive? We receive the unholy ghost. And that is what we live by, the unholy ghost, and the inner broadcast from this world brain to our individual brain. You begin to see that there are two closed circuits TV things going all the time—God, the Father, to Christ the Son and then there comes the Holy Ghost and this is your closed circuit TV in the level of Truth, divinity. And then here is your closed circuit from world brain to the individual brain and that unholy ghost is the impulse from world brain to individual brain and that’s a closed circuit. And our individual brain living in that closed circuit apart from God, apart form the power of God never receives the Holy Ghost and must be behead. It must be deprived of its domination. And then because the material body is nothing more than our sense mind reaction to the invisible atom, the material body now is freed from the sense mind which is reacting to the atom and you are out of that closed circuit TV called humanhood. The Christ now begins to ascend within you as a Jesus Christ walking or whatever your sir name happens to be and now you are beginning to come into the living waters, not the lower waters of the imitation world but the living waters of the kingdom of God, the Holy Ghost begins to enter into you awareness because you have crucified the sense mind that you may living in the Christ mind. You have been able to look out at evil with a sense mind nonreacting not trying to improve evil but instead that is a signal to you that you must improve your self to rise to the point where you are too pure to accept iniquity as something that can maneuver you.
Now there are two dimensions revealed here in this beheading and this crucifixion both performed by the same man, there is the dimension of the mortal being and the lie and the dimension of the kingdom of God, the immortal self and the truth. He, who lives in the immortal Self in the Truth, is not concerned about any Herod Antipas in his life. He is not concerned about the complete spectrum of human evil. He is not trying to become something he is not living in yesterday and today and tomorrow, he has foreshortened these three phases of mental concept. He has brought yesterday into today, he has brought tomorrow into today and he has taken today and spread it out into infinity. He is seeing the universe with the Christ mind. I don’t have to become anything I simply have to recognize who I AM. My future isn’t tomorrow; my future is for this moment.
Now we have many material concepts to overcome and it is difficult as they are, they must be overcome we have every biblical authority telling us that they must be overcome. We have to look at two chairs ten feet apart and see that this chair and that chair are matter. And matter was not created by God and that which was not created by God can’t be there. We don’t have two chairs anymore. We see now that atoms were there. Who put the atoms there not God this world brain put them there. Its false impression of the kingdom of God becomes this atomic universe, the false atomic universe; there isn’t a single atom in the world. Now these atoms instead of chairs, they are there but God didn’t put them there because atoms are separate little particles—God’s universe is one no separation so there are no atoms there, what is there? I AM, spirit. Fine! Now before we had two chairs and ten feet between them, now that we don’t have any chairs we don’t have ten feet between them. The concept of ten feet cannot exist because there is nothing to be ten feet between. The concept of space depends upon the concept of matter. Remove matter and you have no space and then it usually takes let’s say to walk between those chairs or thirty seconds whatever to walk those ten feet. But now you don’t have ten feet there. Remove the concept of space and you can’t have a concept of time. Once you take away the concept of matter space and time goes with it and so does motion. And you find all of this is the human stage, the human television and it all depends upon you being here in a sense mind. As long as you are here in a sense mind, you have got two chairs, ten foot of space between them and thirty seconds to transverse that space. But if there is no sense mind here that is all gone you are in the kingdom of God without the illusion of matter, time or space. It exits there because there is a sense mind here and what is the sense mind? Let’s examine it.
You have matter out there that tells you that, your eyes, your fingertips? But God didn’t create matter and therefore your eyes and your fingertips are a liar. Now if your eye tells you matter is there but matter isn’t what good is your sense of vision spiritual? Spiritually it is of no value to you whatsoever and not even needed it is liar. Now if you sense of vision isn’t telling the truth do you have a sense of vision? Did God create something that doesn’t tell the truth? You begin to see that your five senses are not God created. All they can report is matter and matter isn’t there. The senses aren’t even there. Ah, the senses aren’t there and that is why that which isn’t there can report something that isn’t there. But what is there? Does the Christ mind have senses? No! And you begin to come into a new dimension of touch and thinking and taste and smell and hearing.
When you have begun to pierce the veil you don’t something spiritually, you don’t see something spiritually, you don’t think the way you think humanly now you begin to see that you let spirit touch you. You don’t do the touching let spirit identify itself to you—spirit comes and touches you. These things that you experience come from spirit and manifest to you. Spirit thinks to you. You are letting yourself be meek unto the spirit. Instead of going out and touching you are waiting for spirit to touch you. Your complete orientation is the other way around. You are waiting for the word within to define itself. Instead of using the senses to identify outer objects, you are letting spirit do the identification and it won’t identify a thief and a murderer and an adulteress. It will identify its kingdom. You are being to feel I of mine own self can do nothing. There is an inner intelligence that I must wait to come through me for this is how the Holy Ghost ignites me into the perception of reality. We don’t touch a transfigure Jesus but we are lifted up into that level of perception in which the transfigured Jesus appears to us—the Christ appears to us, the Christ directs us. We let this I in the midst of us be mighty until it becomes our touch our taste our smell and all of these human levels of perception are replaced. The new level of perception is Christ consciousness isn’t it? And it doesn’t go out and finger something and pronounce it to be which it fingers it to be. But rather it perceives beneath the surface of the material that we would finger humanly and there it perceives God itself.
Now then we are touching glimpses within ourselves of another level of being that we are feeling the birth pain of that new level. Beginning to understand that it is not our function or our responsibility to change this world at all. That isn’t our job. Our job is to un-know this world. If this world would be changed God wouldn’t be waiting for you and me to do it. There is nothing you and I are ever going to do that God wouldn’t have already done. This world is here to train us not to change the world but to change from concept to truth and that truth is not found through the sense mind that had to be taken away from John the Baptist.
Now it thinks this might be a good place to pause. We are in the formation of a new idea and possibly it will bear fruition in this second half. Let’s have a little moment of relaxation.
BODY UNDERSTOOD
Now suppose you were making a cake you had a recipe to put in, Oh, one cup of flour and three eggs. And for some reason or other you put in three cups of flour and one egg. Well that is the end of your cake. Now because God is the creator the recipe must be perfect and until we learn how to follow it obviously we bake the wrong kind of cake, the wrong life. Now very clearly we are told that we must learn to come above the body consciousness. And I hold this out there for you so that you will look at the challenge and realize this is something that you have got to come to grips with. There must be an overcoming of the body consciousness and until we do we are making up our own recipe. We are living in a consciousness of the body and that is the same body that will have a tomb over it. Now we don’t have to do that. In fact, we dare not if we wish to live as the son, the child, of spirit. Spirit doesn’t have a human body and so as long as I am in a body consciousness I have hit my snag and I am at a bottleneck and all progress from that point on is going to be purely mental.
Now we deal with these things here because it is so easy to persuade ourselves if I just learn how to learn how to handle my finances better or if I don’t over exercise or don’t over exert or maybe if I hire somebody else to do the lawn things will be right. Now that is fine but what we are trying to learn here is not how to be more comfortable or how to live another two years. We are trying to learn the secret of life eternal. We are trying to learn exactly the Christ message and not to be willing to pause on the way and take a detour and say I have gone as far as I want to go. From this point on I will just coast in. We are seeking the ultimate. And ultimately only those who are seeking the ultimate can possibly listen to this message because it continues in that manner. It is seeking to reach the point that we can look at a wall and realize why Jesus could walk through it. Where we can look at water and realize why Jesus could walk on it. And when we can see that he didn’t walk through a wall but that there was no wall there we will have caught what we are seeking. We are seeking truth and there is no matter and as long as you entertain the belief of matter as truth, reality, something to be reckoned with you are still in a body consciousness, an awareness of the physical universe. And the every essence of Christ understanding that there is nonphysical kingdom of God governed only by God not Herod Antipas, not by Pilate, not by Russia, not by China, not even by the United States—governed by God. And that the only way you live in this government as citizen of the kingdom of God is to become a spiritually realized being. There is no other way to live in the government of God. You cannot live in a material body, in a material concept and live in the government of God. For you there is always a Russian tank or a tax collector or a physical problem. But for you when you are above the body consciousness even though you still appear in a human form you live and walk in the government of God, the invisible kingdom of God. And you are in the two worlds—the one that is in reality and human senses looking at that one that is living in the kingdom of God will see the form called Jesus. Human sense will still see the physical you even though you are living in the kingdom of God.
Now certain things have come through that I want to share with you. If you were to take an atom and multiply it in size through an enlarging machine, one billion times you still couldn’t see it that is how small it is. Now this atomic body that you allegedly have is nothing but the imagination of the world brain. But from it because the world brain individualizes as your individual brain you perceive this atomic body as a physical body. You perceive nothing as nothing. Now this so-called physical body then is your mental perception of a nothing, which you have accepted as the something. And it becomes a physical form not under the law of God because obviously it would be perfect if it were under the law of God.
Now this atom is so small that you cannot see it and yet because you cannot see it you still can form in spite of the fact that you cannot see it you can still form a concept of it. Here you are looking at something you can’t see and you have a concept of it. Do you see the marvelous things science has done for us by revealing that which doesn’t exist called the atom? You can look at that which is allegedly there but you can’t see it. And yet that is what your body is made of. Now then if you cannot see it but it appears to be your physical form, what is death, what is death but your concept can no longer maintain itself. You can’t hold that vision of the invisible atom which you have called your form and you lose that vision and that separation from the atom through your inability to receive it any further creates a change in your concept called death. Now were do you go? You don’t go. It wasn’t you in the first place. You don’t go anywhere. But you do come into another level of this consciousness and there are those in parting, you have heard the stories no doubt many times those in parting who begin to talk as if they were identify someone who isn’t visible to anyone else. Hello Mary! Just before the moment of going Hello Mary! Hello Jack! And we have thought well they have gone out of their minds. But there are also those who came back, they didn’t go very far they came back and they said well Mary was my daughter who died, I saw her. Now this wasn’t out of my mind, I was out of my human mind but I actually saw Mary, I even talked with Mary and I talked with Jack. They went on ahead of me but I caught up with them and then someone here called me back so I came back. Now you have heard such cases. Now then it gives us a clue that is very important here. The consciousness from human to that new consciousness that then appears after death, because the consciousness is never broken, that accelerated consciousness after death is still the same one but now it lives on another level. But that level is still between the outer perception that we have entertained and that inner atom. Because it is billion miles away that atom, you could multiply it a billion times up and still not see it, between there is a lot of leeway. And so you can die to this human sense and come below this human sense and still be twenty (or plenty?) degrees away from the still invisible atom in your concept. And even after death you are still in a concept of the atom but you are a little closer to it. You are in a new consciousness and you can come back to this one, this concept of the atom or that concept of the atom they are both false they are just different levels of the concept that we entertain of an invisible atom.
And you see if you develop that other consciousness of the after-death while you are on this side of it, how can you have death? The whole idea of death is transformation from this consciousness to that consciousness but if you have that consciousness how can you change from it? And so you can’t die. We are beginning to see that human death is completely exposed as the illusion of our changing concept about an atom that isn’t there. And the more you dwell on this the more it begins to talk to you and you finally find that when you have a Christ consciousness which is not a consciousness of an atom at all but is simply the awareness of the divine image and likeness, then there is no change at all possible. There are no degrees and in a Christ consciousness you are walking in the kingdom of God here in a form and where do you go when the form goes? Well, you can’t go anywhere the same Christ consciousness is you that was you in the form. You are above the law of material death. Now do we want to find how to be comfortable for two more years? Do we want to find how to meet our financial responsibilities or do we want to find this Christ self, which is above the law of material death. If it is impossible you might as well throw away the Bible, and if it is possible you might as well throw away everything else because this is all that would make life worthwhile to find that which is and discard that which isn’t to change from the garment of lies to the garment of truth.
There is an area where human consciousness changes and becomes another consciousness and we have called it death and that same consciousness that change too can come right back if there is a Jesus to say, Lazarus come forth to prove that the consciousness that died is still a living consciousness and this little bitsy heart transplant is just the beginning of the realization of the full depth of Lazarus come forth. There is a living consciousness there you can come back. This little child is sleeping not dead there is a living consciousness there it can come back. Ah, but it had that consciousness here instead of there it wouldn’t have to go anywhere would it? And if it had the full consciousness here where could it go? We are getting new ideas about life and death. And we are beginning to lose this paralyzing fear about a death that never happens. Why? Because the body consciousness is what persuades you that someone has died or that someone is sick or that someone has a problem. It all comes down to the body consciousness and it is a consciousness of nothing, nothing which is exactly what we learn to become nothing.
Now as we un-know the body consciousness what is left? While we are talking right now for example about losing our material consciousness it is almost impossible for you to quickly lose the idea that there is something under your feet holding you up and what is there under your feet holding you up? If matter is not real what is holding you up? And if matter is not real why is there something to hold up? Do you see what losing the body consciousness is going to involve? It there an earth under your feet? But if the earth is not matter but is the Lord’s, if the earth is spirit and the fullness of the earth is spirit is it holding you up? Is it holding all these buildings up? You see once you begin to work on losing the body consciousness, you are releasing yourself from bondage to the tomb. We don’t get buried when we die we are buried now. That is just the final realization of it. We are buried in a body consciousness. And the body consciousness tells us that we are mortal, material beings walking on a material earth where tanks come and men say you go to sleep and you can’t come out until 5:00 o’clock there is a curfew. This is material law only because there is a body consciousness to hear it. There is not a Hezekiah, there is not a Christ consciousness standing there to say thou has no power over me because I have lived in the consciousness of God.
All of India with all its great sages, where is the Christ consciousness? It’s mouthing, it’s mouthing, and it’s working illusions. We have to come out of this consciousness called matter and then we will see why it was possible for Paul to say there is neither male nor female. What an incredible statement there is neither male nor female. Look how deep you must go in order to rise out of that consciousness of male or female. I bet you in Czechoslovakia they don’t believe what he said about there is neither bond nor free. And I bet in Israel they don’t believe what he said there is neither Greek nor Jew. Because there must be the Christ consciousness there before you can see that these great revelations given to us are to show us the totality of the ascension to which we must aspire. When you can look out and see neither male nor female, bond nor free, Greek nor Jew why will it be? Because you have not accepted yourself as a physical being! You have put yourself back into the first chapter of Genesis where you belong. You are living as the creation of God not subservient to human law. You are not going to disobey human law or walk past your responsibilities as an individual on this earth because your heavenly Father knoweth your needs but rather grace, grace becomes the law that flows through you and it is the I power within you that is greater than him on the face of the earth.
Take all of your human enemies, you human ideas about material selves and the problems these material selves have and see that there is an oasis in the midst of them, a table a place where you can live in the midst of all these falsities, a secret place where the servant of the most high receives the living word, the grace, and it flows through you because there is no body there, there is no material being there, there are no barricades saying keep out. There is an open invitation to the Father, enter Father, speak Father, thy servant heareth. And in this one-ness because the body consciousness has been removed the law of grace is functioning. You have found the oasis, the table in the midst of thine enemies. And whether it is physical, emotional or moral or financial these enemies cannot stand there in the presence of the spirit of the Father. You are way above John the Baptist. You are walking with the disciples. You are walking with God.
Now every time we are willing to sit back and say, Well, I have gone far enough just add one more question. Am I still living in a body consciousness? And if I am my days work isn’t over. I still have got something to do today and I better stop thinking about tomorrow because my today is very important. Today is how I determine what happens tomorrow. And yesterday is determining today. That which I do today completely depends on what I did yesterday. And if I want tomorrow to be the kingdom of God it better be today or it won’t be tomorrow. Tomorrow is today and the future is now and in the I consciousness which transcends the body consciousness time is changing for you into the eternal expression, space is changing for you into the infinite expression. The law of good and evil is changing into the expression of grace. All of the things of this world slowly are converted not into an atomic thing but they are converted back to the original, the genuine, the one and only the immaculate. And all of the laws of divine harmony function in the one who has been able to step out of the body which is nothing more than a body consciousness. That’s all stepping out of the body ever meant. To step out of your consciousness of matter.
As long as you are protecting a heart and a liver and a lung you are rejecting the Christ teacher and you are rejecting the Christ of your own identity. We all think that the Christ, you see was crucified 2000 years ago but we are doing it today. We in material consciousness crucify the Christ every minute of our lives. We are all crucifying the Christ when we walk down the street. As long as we have the belief in a corporeal existence, we miss the whole message of incorporeality. It is only incorporeality that can’t be crucified. It is only incorporeality that multiplies loaves and fishes. It is only incorporeality that sees no withered arm. And where you see the withered arm and the hungry and the dead you are looking at corporeality through the eyes of corporeality and we are in the tomb. To arise from the tomb, to be risen, to awake from the sleep of physical world, is a release. You can cry out about the things of this physical world but that is almost like a child crying out about things it doesn’t understand. That isn’t for you anymore. There is nothing to cry about in this physical world except to un-see it, to un-know it, to accept your reality.
And when the evils of this world beset you, you can even say thank you Father I was complacency accepting myself in a body consciousness and in a human life and I was going to settle for just a simple human life of happiness or peace. Don’t go to God for a little human life with happiness and peace, he hasn’t got it to give you. God cannot give you a human life and you cannot expect God to guarantee you a happy human life or a happy life in a material body and that is why our prayers are so futile.
Now you may not like to hear that you have got to drop your body consciousness and you have the right not to do it. But there are those among you who know that it must be done and we want to learn the ways of doing it. And they all come down to the purification which possible only when the sense mind has abated. When it can look out and see that there is no power in the material world over spiritual identity. Matter has power over matter but matter has no power over spirit. The hammer and the nail do not enter the spirit. The crucifixion does not touch the light. What kind of a world would it be if God had created a place where John the Baptist is could be behead and armies could overrun God’s creation and evils could beset those who are children of God. You purification is to un-know all of these beliefs that the sense mind has accepted. To un-know it right back to the moment of birth and then to un-know that too.
And for all you mother’s who say, oh, why he can’t tell me I didn’t give birth to physical boy or a physical girl. I will reply to you I can tell you that. Call no man your Father upon the earth. The only problem you have in dropping the idea that you gave birth to a physical boy or girl is this: you still think that you are a physical being. When you drop the notion that you are a physical being you will see that you couldn’t have given birth to a physical boy or girl. You are spirit; you couldn’t give birth to a physical thing anymore than God can. It is the concept of you that gave birth to another concept. That is why there is neither male nor female, Greek nor Jew, bond nor free. Get rid of the physical you and you don’t have all of the physical problems. You don’t have a physical death or a physical birth or a physical life to be concerned about.
Now we are living in our spiritual Self. And I am not concerned about the physical self but for some reason nothing happens to it. Nobody comes up and stabs it. Nobody make demands upon it that can’t fulfill because that physical fellow out there has learned a secret—he’s got infinity working for him instead of his little sense mind. He’s got the whole Bank of America behind it. He got life eternal behind him and in front of him. He is a little fellow a nothing and because he is a nothing he is infinite. He is able to just wait for the Father who doeth all things. He’s not saying to the Father, look what I did, I gave birth or I did this or I did that. He is recognizing that only God can do anything in the world that is Truth. Only the Father can do anything and everything that I humanly did was nothing whatsoever. I merely perpetuated a world of concepts because I haven’t even risen to the level of John the Baptist. And now that I do and behead, remove, all those sense concepts and then get deeper into that memory which still retains them while I am talking about getting rid of them until there is a pure me, a reborn me. And that reborn me is the only me there ever was, I have merely returned to myself, the spirit of God.
Now as you read the Bible then you will find that when you have come into the understanding that you are not a physical being and that a body consciousness is a falsehood, it is actually a crucifixion of the Christ. Then you will find that the words of the Bible no longer are coming to you they are going from you. You are sending them to that body consciousness. You are saying look out there don’t you dare tell me you’ve got a pain, I in the midst of thee am mighty—now you hush. You see you are beginning to see that this body is here for one purpose to be your servant not your master. And all of the activities of that body have the same purpose to be the servant of the spirit of God that indwells that body. It becomes the temple of the living God. And now you are at a higher level you know, well I can’t, what if that body does go? It has got to go I want it to go. This consciousness of mine doesn’t want to be fettered forever. I don’t always want to have a body to watch over to direct. Besides I know where to get a better one. And so you begin to build your Christ body. Now you have got the Christ mind working you can build your Christ body. And let them try to bury that one. Let every infection in the world invade you, it is about as effective as nails trying to stuck in the air. You can’t be crucified by these things anymore. Why? What has changed? Nothing, nothing at all! You have merely come closer to the truth. You have been in reality. You are living in the Christ mind; the Christ body and you are in the same place you always were. But now you are not in a physical body you are unconfined.
Do you see how communication and transportation are just the feeble attempts at bringing to us the understanding of the allness of your being, the omnipresence of your being? In omnipresence what kind of transportation do you want? Transportation is for your physical body. Now how do you transport spirit? And communication, why that is the two human minds. The Christ mind doesn’t communicate with wires. The Holy Ghost is the communication. Omniscience is the law and it is shared by all those in the Christ mind. Now we are coming into our kingdom and the Bible tells us when we do we are the princes of the kings of the earth. We are priests; we can receive word from the Father to shower out to the world. We are not beholden to material mankind, material law. But rather the Father’s law is functioning through us.
Now let’s look back at death then and see this new consciousness that is forming at that moment is not the fully developed Christ consciousness, it just a change from this consciousness. But if you can develop it now that consciousness that’s that degree of death that you will never face. And the more you develop the spiritual consciousness the less you are going to have to do with anything called death. Now that doesn’t mean you walk out of a body and there is nobody to bury, the world will still have its concept of you and that is the body they will bury. But you will walk out. You will walk out to the degree that you have attained yourself.
Now then while you are eliminating the belief in matter something in you will be entertaining that belief at the same time. But there is a moment when you can feel that you have been walking in a spiritual universe without a spirit without a physical body. The real you and as you feel this there is a freedom which no word can describe. And in that freedom you will find this the perfect state of communion. When there is no material body in your mentality, when the mind is not concerned with a material world and has dropped it and there is just the pure consciousness of you living in the oneness with the pure consciousness of God and this is when you are in the experience of the Holy Ghost. This is when revelation flows. This is when grace liveth your life. When the outer says I live yet not I, the Christ liveth my life. And this isn’t just an isolate occurrence this becomes more and more a normalcy. It becomes a normal consciousness. And lo and behold the added things are appearing all the time. You didn’t have to think about them. In fact that is why they appeared, you thought not. You were in the cloud of unknowing letting the Father do the knowing for you.
To un-know your concepts, to un-know the material world around you is a glorious experience; it melts in front of you. It ceases to cling to you and make its demand upon you. And all of the doors that before you had to open to walk through now no longer hold you; you walk through the walls of these concepts. They were holding you back. They were the bed that you had made and you were lying in the bed, the bed of concepts. And now you walk right through these concepts. You pick up your bed and you walk through the concepts that had littered you life providing boundaries. You find they were never there. Limitation begins to be an obsolete word. How can God be limited and how can the Father flowing through the son express limitation? That means that un-limitation will express to the measure of the need. It doesn’t mean that they are going to come into your yard and unload a twelve tons of Gold. Too the level of the need un-limitation comes the law of your being. No need is removed from the fulfillment of the Father. Now isn’t that grace? Can the body cry out under those circumstances when every need is instantly met by the Father?
Now this level, this level in which the needs are being met, the signs are following, is an introduction to another level and in this other level you are in the higher communication in which through you the works of the Father are done on earth. You are no longer an individual who has risen to a point where you are showing forth the fruitage, you are now a depot. You are beginning to build into a spiritual household. Now that you have proven your self, now that you know more about the truth of your being and your neighbor’s being you are a household, you are a level, you are a plateau. And you find you have a family of others at that level with which you can work collectively to bring the light through.
You see we have been trained not for ourselves at all. At first we want to be comfortable and later we learn that it goes deeper. And when we have a touch of the light we learn we don’t have it at all. We are nothing but a place where the light goes through for a larger purpose. And at that level where you are absolutely nothing except a place where the light shows itself, you are only then beginning to be reborn. You are still in the throws of labor; you still haven’t put on the robe of immortality. You have a good bit of evidence about it.
Now when do the magi’s come? When does the world beat a path to your door? When you cease to exist as a human being? That is the moment. And then all there is, is the Christ babe, the spirit realized. The birth of the babe in your consciousness is that moment when there isn’t any human being where you walk. And then there is the child of God. That is your Immaculate Conception realized. Now that child of God isn’t male or female, it isn’t Greek or Jew, it isn’t bond or free it is spirit. And from that moment on every Herod Antipas in the world is powerless against you because that child is the power of God.
If we could meditate at this moment for those of you who can relinquish this feeling of an earth beneath your feet and a heaven above you and rest in the allness of God right here and now wherever you are, you will see that we have place these physical places around us and they are not there. You are walking in omnipresence every moment of your life. All that surrounds you is God, spirit, and freedom—there is no matter. This incredible concept is formed of the mist that came over the world. The substance of it is pure imagination. And it is possible to prove that in small ways and in bigger ways and in monumental way. There simply never was a material world it is not in your Father’s kingdom. And as long as you live it, you are crucifying the Christ just as much as they did physically 2000 years ago. Only you are doing worse, you are crucifying your self and letting an imposter take its place.
And these glorious moments of meditation are the release from that imposter when you drop the false you and put on the mantel of glory. The I that stood at the door knocking enters to bring you life abundant. I AM the life and I AM your Self. I AM your being. I AM the Christ that you buried but now I AM un-entombed. I AM your new consciousness. I have come to take you through the kingdom of God. Cease ye now from man whose breath is in his nostrils. Cease from the physical body. Cease from the mortal mind. Awake that is all you do to cease—awake—and Christ will give thee light. And this light is the life of every person. Not confined, not finite completely free and in that moment of freedom is the beginning of a new experience. Pause
I am above the body consciousness and can claim sonship as something within the realm of my realization. Pause
Now we won’t make the mistake of trying to jump out of our skins. But we can with persistent meditation on that subject find a inner release and even though at times you find that the problem seems insurmountable, while you are working at it backing away from it finally being forced to a dead end, don’t be surprise that behind you a little doorway opens up. It may seem almost impossible but something does open. A little gleam of light and you strife forward through it and you will find you have reduced the mountain to a mole head. Something has taken over, something that reaches through and lifts you up and says well done. And that is how it is done, you don’t do it. You simply try and you release your self from this inner something which takes you invisibly and lifts you over the hurdles and in a moment truth steals in—like a little trap door opens in the mind that you didn’t know was there. And yes you can see it, you can feel it, you can know it. You have entered a depth you didn’t know you had or maybe one you once did enter and something you have just returned to. Now you can take another breath because your journey is only beginning. There is more of the same. And as the ability to enter, the secret place develops. The outer world is going to throw more evil at you. More and more because it wants you to enter more of these trap doors until there is no evil too great for you. And when there is no evil too great there will be no evil. When it stops having power over you it stops being there and there are no more trap doors to go through. The kingdom has no trap doors.
Now the best friend you will ever have is the light within you. Make a friend of it. It will prove its friendship and introduce you to the Father. When you read John the Baptist and Herod and Jesus and see the whole panorama spread before you, you will see that this physical world is just McDuffy’s reader—read it for what its worth. But keep it out there where it has no power just a teaching done in time and space through motion and material consciousness. To make the Christ of you rise up out of this tomb, be still and know that I AM God and I am in perfect control of the perfect kingdom. You can trust God to be running a perfect universe in spite of what you see. And see the hand behind what you see and it will rent the veil for you.
Anyone who then can practice meditation with their eyes open will begin to see the nonpower of the physical world. Finally, that sense perception will just stand outside never, never entering to defile. When the Revelation of St. John tells us that the consciousness of God cannot be defiled, it is telling us that nothing can change the perfection of God that exists. Nothing can change it. Your Father will always feed you his life.
Well thanks a million, thanks very much. HERB FITCH

You’re everyone you see -HF

You are everyone you see. I don’t mean it as a symbolism or something to think about. I mean it’s the fact of life. You are everyone you see. That man over there is no less you than what you call yourself. Yourself is not this body. You are the infinite invisible. And it’s silly – when you have all – to be settled down into a microcosm where you have nothing. All substance is you. There is not another substance in the world. When we get back to the atom and follow it down to the micro atom it disappears.

GOING BEYOND THE IMPOSSIBLE
There seems to be a man standing up there talking to a group down below.
Now look at the invisible, please.
You’ll find an ability to look at the invisible one day maybe sooner than you understand it can happen. When you look at it you will finally become aware that there is one soul that is teaching us. There is no physical person here teaching and there is no physical person there listening.

Being still. HF

Now, you can spend an hour, just “being still,” without trying to think of a thing, and you will find that a great refreshment comes out of it.

So many of us try to spend that Silence thinking, pushing those words back and forth,
hoping that the words are going to open some doors. That’s not being still.

Who’s doing the thinking that you think you’re thinking? The serpent-mind. You’re playing right into the trap.

Being still means BEING STILL, free of the
thinking mind. That’s how you drive the wedge between the thinking mind and its false creation. And in that wedge comes through the Infinite Sea of Spirit, with REALITY.

Even to spend time in Silence, with no purpose other than to just BE refreshed, is a great liberating activity. You accomplish more by this kind of Silence than by all of the great thoughts that you may cram into your mind.

The Father does all the thinking. There’s nothing for you to think. Simply rest in
the knowledge that I, Here, is God, and I is the God that is God Everywhere. The God Everywhere is the God Here.

Just lie back on this Infinite Sea of Spirit, relaxed, abiding in I. That will break the chains of mortality, materialism, material conditions, mental conditions, emotional conditions.

The acceptance of I Here, There, and Everywhere. Only the 100% Divine Life IS. Let
all the cluttering serpent thoughts dissolve into that knowledge.

Karmic Law – HF

KARMIC LAW

Tonight we have a subject which most of our western world doesn’t know too much about. And it has the name Karmic Law. In our Bible we meet it as “Sowing and Reaping.” And there are many other names you can give it: Action and Reaction, Plus and Minus, Merit and Demerit, Cause and Effect.

It has its origin long before Jesus. And actually in the Sanskrit the meaning of Karma is conduct, deed or conduct. And the meaning is that there is a personal responsibility that each of us has for his or her conduct. Now the Hindus and the Buddhist’s introduced the idea that for every deed you commit, there is a corresponding reaction; and that there is an invisible chart kept, you might say, of your activities and your deeds follow you from one incarnation to the next. So that you may have committed some kind of irresponsible deed at one time; and lo and behold five centuries later, you get an abscess in the ear and you say, “What hit me and why?” And you cannot, of course, trace it to the original cause which was five centuries ago.

This is not an exaggerated statement because the idea of Karma is, that as you progress you are building up at the same time, a series of debts or trespasses against the truth. And every debt must be cancelled out or you must be reborn again. And therefore, the cause of rebirth into a human incarnation is that our Karma has not been cancelled out. We still have debts that we haven’t paid.

Now if you have seen the movie, “The Space Odyssey” in the year 2001, or even if you haven’t there is a basic idea, a theme in this movie, about a spaceship going off into the year 2001 controlled by a robot. And the robot gets so important that it is practically the brains of the ship, except for the man who converses now and then with the robot and gives it his orders on what to do.

And then this spaceman goes out of the ship and while he is out, the robot decides this is a good time to get rid of mankind in general, and leaves him out there and starts the ship away. And, of course, what they are showing us in this science fiction story of the future is that man has created a robot, which will be smarter and more powerful than man himself.

And the thing that strikes me about it is that this is already true and has been true for some ten thousand years and more. The robot which is more powerful than man already exists, and that is the universal mind which does control man. And it is because of this universal mind which controls man that we built our karmic debt from incarnation to the next.

Now to get an idea then of a power which controls our human activities even though it’s invisible, and forces us while we are ignorant of it to commit error after error after error and then to suffer the penalty of those errors and never know while we are doing it that we are committing an error. And this is how karmic effects come into being. Now you’re in an automobile and you drive past a red light and the policeman gives you a ticket. And you say, “I didn’t see it,” and he says, “Sorry.” Or, you commit another minor crime of some sort and then your excuse is, “I didn’t know there was such a law.” And you are told, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”

But on a much vaster scale by being a human being, you are breaking the law of God; just by being a human being. Karma begins when you depart from Divine Law. And if we do not know Divine Law, we must depart from it because ignorant of it, we certainly cannot fulfill it. And so humanhood being a departure from Divine Law, the human is constantly building a string of karmic debts to which he is always reborn again as an infant to begin anew, another parade of ignorance of Divine Law. And so we see that although we may have sincere intentions, a desire to worship God, a dedicated way of life, we may be good to our neighbors, we may be fine upstanding citizens who desire to support their communities and their countries and the world at large, and in spite of all our good intentions, we’re building up the karmic debt.

Now the Will of God in you must fulfill itself or else you are not fulfilling God’s Will in your life. And therefore, we have to take stock of ourselves; come out of the clouds and say, “How am I breaking Divine Law? How am I living outside of the Will of God? How am I through omission or commission permitting myself to move in an orbit that is not the Divine orbit?”

And so we see that within you is the Divine Image of your being. And unless you bring this Divine Image into expression, unless you permit it to express through you, the Will of the Father is not expressing; and instead there is a human being out here separated from his own Self, his own Divine Image; and in that separation it is impossible for you to move in the rhythm of God.

All of the qualities in the Divine Image remain there functioning but never in your human experience. And so every time you fear, you are building your Karma for tomorrow, you are sending out what is called bad Karma. Every time you worry, every time you doubt, every time you do anything that does not recognize the invisible presence of God you are sending out bad Karma.

Every time you condemn, every time you assume that imperfection is reality, every time you do something of discordant, dishonest, condemnatory, fearful or hateful nature, you are refusing to acknowledge the Presence of God invisible. You are piercing the Christ. Not because you want to or know you’re doing it, but because you have not fulfilled the invisible law that God is your Self. God, the invisible Self of the universe, must be acknowledged as your Self. And to the degree that you do not acknowledge God as your Self, by your deeds, by your conduct, to that degree you are personally responsible and your karmic bad debt is increasing and must be cancelled out at some future date. Your next incarnation or the five ones after that but that is the law. It is
inflexible, it is inexorable; it cannot be changed, because the Will of God must be expressed.

Now when we are concerned with sixty or eighty years of a human span, we are completely oblivious to the fact that these sixty or eighty years are being lived merely to pay out a debt that we created a hundred or two or five hundred years ago. It’s an accumulated debt of all of our past human lives. All accumulated to be paid off now and in the future of this time segment.

And this is quite a different teaching, of course, than
Orthodoxy has given us. And yet this is the nature of tonight’s chapter. Now you can call it Cause and Effect. You can see that Jesus introduced it when he said, “As ye sow so shall ye reap,” and you’re talking about the same thing and so we have to look at ourselves very carefully. I have here an invisible force so working that unless I can understand it I’m going to be building up karmic debts forever.

I didn’t realize that when I just sat down to dinner and discussed politics that I was building up a karmic debt, but I was. And when I went out to that little party at such and such a place, and we discussed the racial inequalities, when we discussed overpopulation, when we discussed the various levels of poverty throughout the world, and lack of food in certain places—we were building karmic debts because that was not true. We were expressing a humanistic point of view about human appearances.

And it isn’t too long before we begin to see how in a Spiritual way we are truly backward, almost obsolete. Because once we begin to realize that Karmic Law is going to be here forever until it’s broken, we will not try too seriously to change our ways. We will continue to be hurt, to suffer for our acts without knowing we have committed these acts. Things that to us were seemingly innocuous, and yet in spite of it every human attitude, which does not acknowledge the invisible Father, is a deed for which we must pay.


Now then, you can go back behind that and see that the world’s idea of punishment is mistaken. Orthodoxy will teach that God punishes and that God rewards. And such statements in the Bible as, “Your Father who seeth in secret will reward thee openly,” has been interpreted to mean that there is a God who rewards you.

Now as you know, the order of the sun and the stars and the moon, the various forces of nature were not given to us as a reward. And they are not withheld from us as a punishment. They simply are here. And there is no God to punish and there is no God to reward. What has happened is that man is being charged for his karmic debts!

●●● CONTINUED ●●●

It’s as if you left your house tonight, and you traveled so many miles. Now there’s only, there’s nothing can change the fact that in order to get back you must travel the same amount of miles. And if you had gone twice as far to get back you would have to go twice as far. And the distance that we move away from God is the distance we must
move back. And that is not punishment that is Karmic Law.


Now when Jesus said to the adulteress, “Neither do I condemn thee.” He did not punish her; and if you examine his complete ministry you will discover that no where at no time did he punish a single individual. And if He were here as the representative of God to fulfill the Law of God, if punishment were a part of that Law you would have seen much punishment. But forgiveness was part of that Law, not punishment. And so we as we
look back at his teaching can see that much of it was directed to teach us how first to be aware that unknowingly we are sending out bad Karma by departing from the Consciousness of God and all of that distance that we depart, we must re-traverse to come back to it.

While we are departing from the Consciousness of God, we are building our debts, the bad Karma, then we must learn to send out good Karma. And many people would be very anxious to stop at that point. But His teaching went further and said, after you have broken the direction of your bad Karma and are now sending out good Karma, by such deeds as: forgiveness, love, integrity, justice, awareness that God is the source of all things, making peace with your enemies—He gave us a long list in The Sermon on the Mount, and the purpose of these was to teach us how to break the bad Karma we were sending out so that we could send out good Karma. But that was not enough. We then had to go beyond sending out good Karma, and we had to rise into the Law of Grace in which we discover that the Law of Karma only applies in the world of matter. And this takes you beyond the eastern philosophies where complete families live in the realization of their Karma without trying to break it,
not knowing it can be broken. Thinking that they are bound by laws of heredity, laws of Karma and they have them interwoven.

There are mothers who check their children’s karma going back for centuries and centuries under the mistaken belief that that child will have to continue living and paying for the karmic debts of centuries back.


Now it is true that we wear modern clothes today but we are paying karmic debts of many accumulated centuries, each of us individually and collectively, but, and that’s the point of the true Christian teaching and that’s the importance of the Christian teaching in all religions. It teaches and demonstrates that your karmic debts are totally nullified now this minute when you locate the Divine center of your Being and live there. Then your ignorance of all of the Law that you have been breaking is of no consequence any more because at that point where you touch your Divine center, the Father within, He liveth your life. And He is not ignorant of the Divine Will.


Now someone gets headaches, and someone else gets earaches, and someone else gets eye aches and someone else has this wrong and that wrong and there’s always
that big question why? Why me? We are living in a universe of “thought.” And the thought that you entertain, the beliefs that you entertain in your thought, the things and persons that you give power in your thought, these represent the manner in which you build up your tomorrows full of debts that must be paid.
This very day we are building our tomorrows. And when we came into human birth, we inherited our complete past.


Never think that you have given your children their Karma. They have their own. They have inherited their complete past just as you have inherited yours. You can never give your Karma to someone else. The law of inheritance is not true. The only Karma you work out is your own. And the only Karma anyone else works out is their own. It is a completely individual experience. You cannot borrow, you cannot influence, you can in no way exchange Karma with any one. They cannot receive it from you through heredity. Nor could you from your parents.

Your experience, your debts, your permanent record are the degree to which you have strayed from the One
Consciousness, the One Self, must be worked out and by you alone. And so we are faced with this that we have a total responsibility for every word, every deed, every idea, every belief, every thought; and the Will of the Father in us, will be done.


Now punishment then does not come from God. It is the direct effect of our straying from Truth. And the only way we can nullify it is to return to Truth. “Ye shall know the
truth and the truth will make you free,” of your Karma. “I have overcome the world,” meaning, I have overcome all of my past incarnations and the Karma that I had built up
in this world. Once we start to look at our experience with this word, it throws a rather interesting light on the degree of ignorance, which we have manifested and for which we have paid and are paying.


Now to start sending out good Karma there must be an alertness, a willingness to throw away your past. There must be a willingness to know that what I have done in the past is done. I am no longer responsible for that past if I can go within, and enter into a state of oneness with my Source. In this state of oneness, I will be nourished from within. I will live in the House of the Father. And I will be not in time or space. The I, which has overcome the Karma of this world is ever functioning at the center of my Being and it will now reveal the Divine pattern of my life, canceling out all of my sins of omission and commission of the past.


Now if I were to fear God in that instant, I would be departing from the Consciousness of God because I couldn’t fear God if I were living in the Consciousness of God. If I am to believe in a lack or a limitation, in that instant I know I have left the Consciousness of God and now once more I’m building my debts.


Now you must come then to a very high pinnacle of Consciousness where you are standing in a light aware of the complete total Presence where you are of every Divine quality, acknowledging each Divine quality as present where you are. And knowing that in the kingdom of God there is no Karma because there are no opposites to be
entertained in Consciousness. This is the altitude from which we must work to break
Karma.
For instance, you would stand at this moment in Vietnam watching the shells burst,
watching your friends around you in a state of fear, or shell- shocked, or retreat, or pain;
and you, if you too entered into this hysteria, whether or not you came home alive;
someday in another lifetime, you would pay for the fact that at that moment you did not
find your safety, your strength, your security in the Presence of God where you stood.
If when you read tomorrow morning’s newspaper, you unconsciously let yourself feel
that those in Biafra [Nigeria, 1967-1970] are starving, even though you see pictures of
their little distended stomachs—if you let yourself feel that the crime wave is on the
upswing and something else is on the downswing— no matter how your heart beats for
these people, you are building your Karma. And it isn’t good!
Now in this kind of a teaching then, you are not to repeat the errors of the world, or the
inability of the world to live in the Father’s House, it is a coming forth and being
separate. And when Paul said that he too was teaching us how to cancel out the Karma
of our many incarnations. “To pray in secret” was to teach us that we had to find “the
secret place of the most high.” We had to find this inner communion. And when Jesus
said, “I of mine own self can do nothing,” He was teaching us that the high point, when
Karma is completely broken and out of your life forever, is when you have reached that
altitude of Consciousness where you know that God is the only activity in the universe.
No other activity exists. Then you’re into total Oneness and the shadow of Karma is forever gone. “I of mine own self can do nothing.” Is the realization that God is present, active, fulfilling, Itself and all is well, in spite of every appearance in the universe to the
contrary—otherwise, Karma! Now there’s a word then you’ve got to take and work with.
We don’t start out with it very big. We start out on a mundane level. Look around and
find out who you think is unfriendly to you, and for every evil they give to you give them
a good in exchange. Why? Because you are recognizing the law of Divinity, which says,
there stands the invisible Christ. And you are not sowing to the visible appearance.
Now sowing to the flesh is not so simple that we can say, that this man is a sex pervert,
he is sowing to the flesh and that is about what it covers. No you can be taking LSD and sowing to the flesh. You can be an alcoholic and sowing to the flesh. Or you can “be
laying up treasures on this earth which moth and rust will corrupt,” and that’s “sowing to
the flesh.” You can be hoarding today’s manna, you can be spending your life trying to
receive without giving and that is sowing to the flesh.
Sowing to the flesh is sowing to all that which is not Spirit. Sowing to this world is
sowing to the flesh. The nature of your conversation is sowing to the flesh if that
conversation is about this world. And it would seem almost impossible then to live in this
world without sowing to the flesh. And it is, it is almost impossible to live in this world
without sowing to the flesh. And so we have an impossible task to perform. And when
you realize its impossibility, you will realize that you cannot perform it. And that’s precisely why it is an impossible task to make you come to the conclusion that, “I cannot do it, so Father you do it for me.” “I cannot love this neighbor,” said Joel, “but Father will you love him for me, I simply can’t do it.” And therefore, we have to go above the human mind, which cannot do it. And that’s why when you look out and see things that you cannot overcome, your next step must be, but the Father within He doeth the works not I. And because you have been alerted to the fact that unless you sow to the Spirit and stop sowing to this world, your karmic debt of good and evil must continue, there comes that final moment of transcending your own human selfhood in order to wipe out your karmic debt, in order to sow to the spirit; and you’re lifted above your human self.
Ah, but that’s the rebirth. To overcome the world you must overcome your own human
self, first. Now how can we do this if to us God is still someone we fear, or someone we
seek a reward from, or someone who we think might punish us in some way if we did
something wrong? Do you see only a human mind can feel that fear that sense of
possible punishment? In fact, the moment we fear God, we have lost God.
Now as we rest in the Presence of God within, we have come to that place where there
is an inner-knower who knows all that is in the Spiritual universe. And if we are not in
that Spiritual universe, we are separated from that inner-knower. And this is the only
punishment we will ever find. The punishment of separation, of apartness in which Spirit
cannot flow in us!
Now you will find that your consciousness is your experience. You cannot go further
than your consciousness. And if you are conscious not of the Spiritual reality, then your
consciousness is your Karma and not God. Your consciousness punishes you. “Go and
sin no more.” Why? That was the revelation that God doesn’t punish you, your sin
punishes you. The degree to which you are not sowing to the Spirit is your sin. And
that’s the only sin. And when you’re sowing to the Spirit you’re sinning no more.
Now these are all little pieces. This isn’t a great grandiose sweeping way of life at this point; it’s all of the little pieces that have to be done correctly. The neighbor down the street! The associates in the office! The beggar on the corner! The man crawling out of
a pub down the street! You must see through all this to the Divine Image. You must
always be in a “State of Grace” where you can look out at the material world and
recognize the non-power of all that you see. And the Power of the Invisible which is ever
present!
Now we’re living in the Infinite Invisible of our own Being; in the “I”. And this I, will take
you above all those who through Buddhism and Hinduism, there are billions, millions
now, and there have been billions, who are committed into the prison of belief that
Karma is their permanent dispensation on this earth. And we, unless we break this
Karma, we are under their Karma as well as our own to the degree that the Collective
Karma of the universe is the universal mind. The universal mortal mind is the cause of
the Collective Karma of the universe. When you break it for yourself, you break it for
ten, twenty, thirty, five hundred more. You leaven the Consciousness of the universe.
Now if there were a cosmic bookkeeper keeping a perfect continuous record of your life,
you would see so many entries on the liabilities side that you would think you have to
live another five hundred human lives before you could ever break even. Because every
human breath is another liability! We have not been aware of the staggering impact,
which world thought plays upon us. We are ever responding to world thought. And world
thought is the anti-Christ. World thought is the biggest and only builder of Karma that
there is. Your independence of world thought removes you from this increasing liability.
And so you’ll find in the same Sermon on the Mount, where we’re told to “Turn the other
cheek and walk twain and be hid in our closet and pray for our enemies who despitefully
use us.” We’re also taught: to break the Karma of this world, “Take no thought.” The
thought you take is the anti-Christ. The no-thought you do not take, is the release from
the anti-Christ. You break the pyramid of anti-Christ human thought which keeps
entering liabilities for you in this cosmic bookkeeping book, in this cosmic ledger,
making you forever a slave to laws you are breaking unaware.
It’s important to see the vast staggering impact of what has been happening to us while
we blithely have been saying I believe in God. God is good! God is love! In our total
ignorance while desiring to worship God we have turned away from God. While desiring
to worship God we have walked right by God, not recognizing God. And in our desire to
fulfill ourselves we have failed to find out even who we were.
Now take a moment and put the brain to rest and take this human I which has already
traveled far beyond this point in anticipation and of the mind which is moving out right
now somewhere five hundred light years from here in anticipation and bring that I back, bring that mind back. Bring everything back to one little point called the center. A little point of rest. Where you’re not anticipating a single thing. You’re not anticipating the next moment or the next hour. Your memory isn’t sliding back into yesterday. And your anticipation is not sliding back into the future. You’re not concerned about anything
happening anywhere in this world whether it’s here or there. You’re recognizing that all
that exists at this moment is the essence of God and you’re at peace. That’s all there is
anywhere in this universe, the essence of God.And as you stay there for ten seconds
you become white as snow, for you are abiding in the Father. Now to take that with you
wherever you go and never lose it, whatever you do, wherever you are, whatever you
are saying to hold that center of rest is to abide in the Father; and then to behold
through that center of rest, the law of Infinity guiding your every activity so that the law
of Karma has no place to act. You’re not in action so you’re not in reaction. You’re not
sowing to the flesh so you’re not going to reap corruption; you are sowing to the spirit by
the simple act of holding to that point of rest within you. And practice is what does it.
Then every thing that Buddhism ever taught and Hinduism ever taught, every thing,
every act of commission, of omission and commission, every degree to which you have
ever in the last five million years inadvertently walked as an individual instead of as the
Divine Self—this is readjusted in those ten seconds. And you start fresh! New! White as
snow! Karma is broken that instant. “I of mine own self can do nothing.” This Divine rest,
this center through which God alone functions, destroys Karma, destroys all my debts;
my Father forgives all my debts, all my trespasses. The prodigal is no longer a prodigal.
Now if we are to escape from the Parenthesis into Eternity, we have to destroy the Law
of Karma in our experience. Because that alone is what is maintaining us in the
Parenthesis. It drags us back every time we depart. And sometimes it kicks us out of
here a little sooner than we want to go. And sometimes it brings back a deformed baby.
Sometimes it strikes a man and cripples him. Sometimes it makes you deaf, or dumb, or
blind. Why? You know the answer. It isn’t something you did! It isn’t some evil you
committed! It’s the distance between Spirit and the flesh. It’s the distance between
material consciousness and Spiritual Consciousness. And as your Spiritual
Consciousness increases, as you become more conscious of the Spirit and thus less
conscious of the material appearances, the book is being rewritten– just as invisibly as
it was written. That bookkeeper keeps working.
And ultimately you pay off a debt, and the problem that you have here now disappears.
Oh, there’s a quicker way! There’s a quicker way! The quicker way is not to work at this on a ten-percent basis. You can give it so much time
and say, “Well ten percent ought to be right,” and later on as Joel says, twenty percent
and someday fifty percent. And you’re beginning to say, “Well how can I do it I have
obligations?” Well how about fulfilling those obligations and doing this a hundred
percent? Because “praying without ceasing” is a hundred percent! And while you’re
doing this a hundred percent, you’re still in the world. And you’re still doing things in the
world. But through the ten, twenty, thirty, fifty percent, you’ve learned how to maintain
the inner rest while you maintain the outer activity. And then you’re working while you
are in the spirit! And an eight-hour day doesn’t take eight hours anymore.
You find Spirit is working in your sleep, in your experience. If necessary, it will wake you
up at three A.M. and say, “Get down to the drawing board. Here’s that idea you’ve been
looking for. I picked it up for you because you’re ready for it. There it is!” Or, “Here is
that composition that you couldn’t quite make while you were struggling and striving
through a human brain. Here’s that invention!” Or, “Here’s the way to handle this
present situation.” Yes, once you find that as you hold this point of rest wherever you
are, your outer activities in the world are graced, then you realize that it isn’t a question
of sacrificing your outer world activities in order to do more of the inner Spiritual work at
all. No! They go hand in hand! The Spiritual functions in such a way that the struggle
and the labor of the outer world activities lessen. It’s not a substitute! It’s a complement!
Now we are given this Infinite Way, and the alternate to it is the karmic way. The way of
superstition, of imprisonment, of a limited finite mentality! And every time you see
somebody who says, “Oh, I’m sowing to the Spirit,” take a second look and be sure that
they’re not doing it externally, because you cannot sow to the Spirit externally. Never
can you sow to the Spirit except within your Consciousness; that’s where it is done!
Now when you’re not sowing within, you’re sowing without. When you’re not thinking
truth what are you thinking? You can’t think of two things at the same time. When you’re
not thinking in terms of truth, you’re not thinking Spiritually at all. And so you have to
look at the world of matter and think about it Spiritually. You have to see the Invisible
Dimension that the eye doesn’t see. And then you’re sowing to the Spirit and not the
flesh. And as you train yourself to do this, you will be feeling that Invisible Dimension
behind the material object; and that Invisible Dimension will enable you to understand
the material object. How does an artist see new beauty? Because, he sees beyond the
mere three-dimensional form. He sees into the Soul of what he’s
30 Return
working with. And when you work in your professions, when you are seeing the
additional Dimension that is Invisible; you’re seeing through the material substance to its
Soul and its Soul in you will enable you to see that in a new relationship.
And so you see even in your human thought, you begin to Spiritualize it you might say, and look into the depth of things—but not out there. You don’t look at an object and try to see the Soul of it. You look from your own Soul at the object. For your Soul is the
Soul of the object. You’re really looking from within that object at its outer self. You look at the Soul of you, which is within that object as its Soul. For the One Soul of the
universe is your Soul. When you find it, and touch it, and live in it, in this point of rest; it is within everything else that you’re looking at.
When you see the I of your neighbor you’re seeing the I of your Self. And that’s why
hidden in Jesus’ teaching is the “One Self” idea. Always to remind you that whenever
you do not see the one invisible Self you are violating Divine Law. To the murderer a
pardon instantly, to the thief on the cross a pardon instantly, to everyone on the face of
the globe a pardon instantly—a total state of forgiveness because you must
acknowledge the “One Self.”
And as you acknowledge the “One Self,” then you have forgiven those who despitefully
use you, those who persecute you in My name. You have opened your Self to the “One
Self,” you have recognized your Self. He teaches us that in giving, we are not dividing
our income with somebody else. If we have a dollar and we give fifty cents we are not
dividing. If we recognize the “One Self,” we are multiplying. Now you’ll find it hard to
think you’re giving that to yourself unless you have already sat down with that problem
and asked for inner guidance to explain it to you.
The Law of the “One Self” means that you are omnipresent—there is no place where
you are not. You’re the soldiers who are fighting our army in Vietnam as well as “our
army” in Vietnam. Because the “One Self” is all there is. And that is why you pray for
your enemies. Your enemy is as much your Self as your friend. Your father and your
mother are your Self. Your children are your Self. And this is the Law of God. And
whenever you violate it, by condemning another; the reason it comes back to you as a
karmic debt is because you have condemned your Self. When you in any way fear
another, you are fearing your Self. When you despise another, it is your Self you
despise. The “judgment you meet out to others is measured unto you,” because there is
only “One Self.” And maybe you don’t see it on this level, but go up a Dimension and you will see the “One” invisible Essence which through the glass darkly of human vision becomes the many, the multitudes that appear to be starving in this dimension; but are the “One Self” in the Infinite Dimension of Reality. The mind will just go so far and say, “I can’t go any further.” That’s fine! Put that mind to rest! Give it a Sabbath! And let the “One Self”
within you, and all over this universe; let It communicate Itself as you live in ”That secret
place of the most high.”

Mysticism and Soul Consciousness

MYSTICISM & SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS

The secret of the mystics of all ages, and the precise purpose of your human life, is to surrender your mind consciousness to your Soul, and your soul consciousness will take you the rest of the way into paradise. Either you climb the ladder of mysticism beyond mind consciousness or, as you know, you perish in mind consciousness. That is divine law, but it is also divine wisdom. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things will be added unto you.”

Now that Kingdom is the three levels of your consciousness above your mind. You don’t have to wait for that Kingdom. It isn’t going to return, it never went away. It’s right here because that Kingdom is you. Before your first human birthday, that Kingdom was you and it is you even now while your mind consciousness may be thinking of you as a physical form with a temporary life.

Let’s be still a moment. Let’s dwell in the truth that I am divine being now. And know yourself not as the world sees you, not as your friends see you, not as your children see you, not even as your parents see you, know yourself as God sees God, as divine life without opposite. This is the real nature of illumination or enlightenment.

Illumination is not what most people think it is. It’s not a flashing vision or even the voice of God coming to you maybe once every five or ten years. Illumination is awakening to the truth that you are not the form born in your mother’s womb. You are the divine life of God that always was, that is now and always will be, and that you are not confined in the fourth box called mind consciousness.

When you dedicate your waking hours to accepting your divine life as a now fact, not a future event, your soul buds will really open up. They will receive heavenly manna from your divine life. And the entire contents of the three heavens will flow through you, through your Soul, into your mind, and they will exchange your lifespan for your permanent life.

I’d like to repeat that idea in another way. Unless you accept divine life now as the truth of you and you strive to understand that human life is only a concept without substance, you will actually delay your attainment of soul consciousness and delay your rebirth.
