‘Inside’ Omnipresent Me

Self as God

A M A Z I N G . ‘A H A’ . M O M E N T

One of my greatest ‘Aha’ moments was when I realized that I had been inadvertently imagining that ‘within me’ meant within my form (body) as if I had a spiritual version of a material body which was capable of containing ‘a great deal’.

I ‘have’ no such thing. I AM the only Body that there is, called Allness, Oneness, Spirit, God, Infinity, Omnipresence.

I’m still trying to break the habit of mentally or physically gesturing toward my form (body) to indicate that which holds Infinity inside it.

It was a most lovely ‘Aha’ moment in which I experienced myself (my real Self) absolutely everywhere at once. The entire material universe began to dissipate.

NO personal patient JSG

Joel Solomon Goldsmith, Treatment

NO PERSONAL STORIES, NO DETAILS, NO PERSONALITIES, JUST HEALING
●○●○●○●○●○

Now I want to explain one reason why we never treat a person, why we never give a treatment to any person. If anything in my writings has led to the belief that I would ever give a treatment to any person, let me correct that concept now. ..I have never given a treatment to anyone, and I have never directed my thought to a person. I have never addressed the individual consciousness of any person.

Never have I said, “You are spiritual; you are perfect; you are God’s child.” Never have I allowed the name of a patient to come into my thought while I was “treating.” Never have I allowed the face, or thought, or outline of any face or body, to come into my treatment. I do not, I cannot, give a treatment until the person asking for help is completely out of my thoughts.

My treatment is based on lifting thought up to God and on eliminating any sense of person. I jump, as fast as I know how, up to the word God: I lift my thought over the person’s head, not because God is up there, but because for me it eliminates personality and person, and then I am in God. Then I come out from God, and let flow out whatever truth I know about God-all the truth I know about God. I never connect it with any individual.

And the reason is this: God is the only individual in the world. God is infinite individuality; God is the only place, the only person, the only power. God is the only reality.

If I turned away from God, I would be treating an illusion.

E N L I G H T E N M E N T / . AWARENESS

Rupert Spira

E N L I G H T E N M E N T / AWARENESS

Look at a blank screen. Now imagine it = enlightenment.Would you turn on the tv and try to get the characters or drama to show you enlightenment? They are the distractions known as your life.

Now turn off the tv and see the blank screen ( = enlightenment) again.

It’s not an event per se but the realization that there is no event to discover. You were always looking at the screen but too fascinated with the landscape, drama or characters on it to realize you had been looking at/with enlightenment all along.

“You have never ceased being the ever-presence of awareness – not even for a minute” (Rupert Spira).

Any character that you may identify with on the screen does not have to be dealt with before you can be aware (enlightened): the blank screen is your enlightenment.

Awareness doesn’t like or dislike any ‘problems’ going on in your life. Trying to get rid of your separate self is acknowledging that there is a separate self. To REALLY see this would be the end of it.

“DON’T SPEND YOUR LIFE TRYING TO GET RID OF ILLUSIONS: IT’S A WASTE OF A LIFETIME” (Rupert Spira).

Awareness doesn’t have problems because it would have to have resistance first. It never dislikes anything or anyone.

“Be KNOWINGLY the presence of awareness.” Rupert Spira (You already are, but be it knowingly.)

Promise of a shaman

Awareness early

The promise of a shaman – Yogesh Kumar

If you come to me as a victim I will not support you.
But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering.
I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth.
I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and you will vomit the rage and the darkness inside you.

I’ll bang your body with good herbs, and I’ll put you to lay in the grass, face up to the sky.
Then I will blow your crown to clean the old memories that make you repeat the same behaviour.

I will blow your forehead to scare away the thoughts that cloud your vision.
I will blow your throat to release the knot that won’t let you talk.
I will blow your heart to scare fear so that it goes far away where it cannot find you.
I will blow your solar plexus to extinguish the fire of the hell you carry inside, and you will know peace.
I will blow with fire your belly to burn the attachments and the love that was not.
I will blow away the lovers that left you, the children that never came.
I will blow your heart to make you warm, to rekindle your desire to feel, create and start again.
I will blow with force your vagina or your penis, to clean the sexual door to your soul.
I will blow away the garbage that you collected trying to love what did not want to be loved.
I will use the broom, and the sponge, and the rag, and safely clean all the bitterness inside you.
I will blow your hands to destroy the ties that prevent you from creating.
I will blow your feet to dust and erase the footprints memories, so you can never return to that bad place.
I will turn your body, so your face will kiss the earth.
I’ll blow your spine from the root to the neck to increase your strength and help you walk upright.
And I will let you rest.

After this, you will cry, and after crying you will sleep,
And you will dream beautiful and meaningful dreams,
and when you wake up I’ll be waiting for you.
I will smile at you, and you will smile back
I will offer you food that you will eat with pleasure, tasting life, and I will thank you.
Because what I’m offering today, was offered to me before when darkness lived within me.
And after I was healed, I felt the darkness leaving, and I cried.
Then we will walk together, and I will show you my garden, and my plants, and I will take you to the fire again.

And will talk together in a single voice with the blessing of the earth.
And we will shout to the forest the desires of your heart.
And the fire will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the mountains will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the rivers will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And the wind will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together.
And then we will bow before the fire, and we will call upon all the visible and invisible guardians.

And you will say thank you to all of them.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.
And you will say thank you to yourself.

Heart => soul

Soul

W H A T . H A P P E N S . . .
when you heed the dictum “Think with your heart”?

You soften, right? You see beauty instantly where you had only seen darkness. You’re pulled away from all those awful images that were vying for attention moments ago. You’re also strengthened one hundredfold. How? Why? What just happened?

Let us examine. To what extent was an organ in a body giving you thoughts or intuitions? No, no, no – that’s your soul lovingly guiding you. Your soul!

Now for the tough one – is your soul material, half-and-half, or Spirit? You got it! Pure Spirit! It has its own function, but is clearly in the Fifth Dimension, eagerly awaiting your recognition of the Sixth Dimension (Spirit) and beyond (Christ).

So, what’ve we got to lose? Let’s just simply
THINK WITH OUR HEART !!

Are you ready to claim your full awareness of the realm of Spirit, God, and meditate on it now or do you need to read and/or listen to breakthrough teachers like Joel S. Goldsmith, Herb Fitch and A Course in Miracles who have done so much selfless, painstaking work already to bring us ALL to a higher level of apprehension?

Not responsible

Joel Solomon Goldsmith

N O T . R E S P O N S I B L E — JSG
Good morning…I had two wonderful unfoldments this morning, that was at four or five o’clock, and both of them are going to be helpful to you, more especially those who in some way have the responsibility of practice.
The first one was that I had been carrying a load of responsibility, almost you might say as if God’s work were my responsibility and I was responsible for seeing that it came through well. Now it isn’t something you do voluntarily or consciously, it‘s something that creeps up on you with anxiety in your work, and all of a sudden the unfoldment came: God is responsible for Its activity, you just be the vehicle, the instrument, and drop that responsibility for its success, and that took a big load off my shoulders.

Synchronicity bet. Acim & JSG

ACIM

Has anyone else noticed the amazing synchronicity between A Course in Miracles and the teachings of Joel S. Goldsmith? In one case Jesus is the author and in the other case, he’s “the Master”. In both, he is our brother.

A commitment to either teaching – through the entire teaching – will stabilize and establish any sincere seeker of Truth with a rock-solid foundation.
