MEMES – 6

Memes

One thing Joel drove home for me big time yesterday is to turn my consciousness directly to God for
FRESH INSPIRATION EVERYDAY.

Instead of praying to some CONCEPT of God (Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Mohamedan, Buddhist, etc)
open our awareness of ONEness

The sun naturally sends out its warmth & light asking for no reward.
The rain as well, no thanks required.
God functions similarly

Stop everything. Don’t make another move.
Everything wants to go.
Release your hold.
Robert Lindsey

” OPEN OUT A WAY . . .
FOR THE HIDDEN SPLENDOR [of God]
TO ESCAPE . ”
(Robert Browning)

As a child I enjoyed juxtaposing synonyms of God and pondering:
God = Life, Life=Love, Love=Truth, Truth=Spirit, Spirit=Soul,
etc.

We err terribly when we “go to God for healing”!
Where do we go TO? From where did we COME?
God simply IS All there is
INSTEAD !!!

The kingdom of God is Spirit.
The kingdom of God is the Christ.
The kingdom of God is God.
All within you now!

Prayer is about getting very, very quiet within and hearing God in our Soul minister to us about what is really going on instead.

At times it may seem difficult to contact God owing to investment in worldly thinking.
But persistence will establish prayer mode.

When Christ dawns in individual consciousness the personal sense of self diminishes.
This Christ becomes our real being.
#RADICAL

Gaining an awareness of God does not produce harmony.
God’s presence is the harmony.
#DEHYPNOTIZE

CAN YOU IMAGINE
K-N-O-W-I-N-G
(experiencing) eternal life?
“This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God.”

Hey guys! You still asking Him for advice, guidance, etc?
LET GOD LIVE YOUR LIFE – AS YOU !!!
Hint: it’s YOUR real LIFE !!

ARE YOU UNHAPPY ? UNHEALTHY ? UNFULFILLED ?
That is NOT okay with God.
The awakening comes when you discover spiritual living!

God is not in realm or reach of mind or thoughts.
You must transcend mind & thought in order to reach God.
#ThisChangesEverything

Every action of the organs & every function of the body are the activity of the Soul appearing as bodily action
#TheTruthThatHeals

Faith in an “unknown God” brings only the harmony of blind belief.
God must be known and understood through the Soul.
#NoDualism

There are no laws of matter.
There are only beliefs.
You cannot be affected by a belief unless you believe it!
#SpiritualUniverse

Time must come
When the seeker of healing, wealth, security, happiness discovers that their
LOSING ALL THESE NOTIONS
is 1st step

TO KNOW GOD IS LIFE ETERNAL !!
Take no thought for human gains you might receive
NO THOUGHT WHATSOEVER
& choose God instead

Can you want God
MORE THAN
you want material benefit you think is coming as a reward?
Rise above selfish desires to realm of God.

How closed-minded are you?
Have you finally challenged EVERYTHING you ever learned in church?
Or any other “teacher”?
#DEHYPNOTIZE

Didn’t Jesus say something like “I know I don’t need ask You (pray) for Lazarus or anyone else but I’ll say few words 4 the ppl”?

Why, oh why, aren’t my prayers being answered??
Coz ur praying to your chosen
c-o-n-c-e-p-t
of God which is non-existent. #AWAKEN

Coming to God for healing?
You have my sympathy coz you have everything sooo backwards.
Seek ye first Kingdom of God – PERIOD !!!

People!
Have you ever tried listening to what others are
R E A L L Y
saying? It usually is the antithesis of what you’re hearing!

Water by definition is wet.
Fire by definition is hot.
Love by definition is uncondtional.
~Ashish Thomas

My kingdom is not of this world.
This world doesn’t have a clue what & where My kingdom is.
It is within u.
U r not of this world

“God is a jealous God.”
What a strange scripture…
Until you see that in God there’s nothing else you could possibly want or need

Still petitioning an anthropomorphic god for things u deem apropos for your or anyone else’s life?
How’s it working?
#DEHYPNOTIZE

Don’t you just
L <3 V E . it when you put God first & then your 'personal issues' get resolved instantaneously & "miraculously"? When you rise above personal desires & realize that all you really want is - drum roll please - God, miracles start happening :D I do version of tongues that hardly resembles the original: done in private & with melody, it also serves to free up meditation ;) CAN YOU POSSIBLY IMAGINE: GOD IS THE ONLY POWER !! No thoughtlessness, germs, infections, wars, earthquakes, death #AWAKEN KEEP LISTENING !! LISTEN WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART . GOD IS . THAT'S IT !! DO NOT JUDGE, BUT CULTIVATE SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT . Here is a very powerful word to ponder deeply: " I S " . There's no longer a need to judge, resist or fear. GOD IS . #DEHYPNOTIZE I keep falling in love with everybody! The difference now - spiritually - is that I never fall back out of L <3 V E !!! :P Power doesn't exist out here in the realm of effect: power only exists in the invisible realm of inner impulse of God #NoDualism . I and the Father are One. The Father is expressed through me. God's law is inviolable. I am subject to divine Grace, God's kingdom Wanted a major BREAKTHROUGH in meditation and found it: Treatment & prayer can be summoned during meditation to break blockages. When you meditate and thoughts come racing in, don't be distressed: just disregard them. You'll soon be free of intruding thoughts Close your eyes and think of a scripture or other enlightened thought. Good. Now another. & another. They came from your awareness When u finish meditating do u feel world calling you back? This question is only about ur thinking.. Do u give up all inspiration? This morning I had stupidest block re meditation. It occurred 2 seconds after really good session. Went right back & extended it! This is for people who are suffering: Find that place in your vision/mind that is free & clear. That's Spirit, God. Go deeper-stay

Behold what manner .. John 1:3 cont.

Herb Fitch

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. [15] Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. [16] Hereby perceive we the love of God , because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. [17] But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? [18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. [19] And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. [20] For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. [21] Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. [22] And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. [23] And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. [24] And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 3:14-24
YOU MUST LOVE EVERYONE BECAUSE GOD CREATED EVERYONE – NOT THE ‘IMAGES’ THAT YOU SEE, BUT THE REAL, IMMORTAL, PERSON OF GOD’S CREATING, THE REALITY, SIGHT UNSEEN.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed

Herb Fitch

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God
I AM NOT THE SON OF A MORTAL, CONCEIVED IN A WOMB. I AM THE SON OF GOD. WHAT I WILL BE IS WHAT I AM.
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
I AM MORE THAN A MORTAL. WHAT A GLORIOUS REALIZATION!
[2] Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
JOHN IS TELLING US WE ARE THE SON OF GOD. I WANT TO BE WORTHY.
[3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 3:1-3

John 1:1 spoke of new life now

Herb Fitch

JOHN WAS TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT KIND/PART OF LIFE BEING MANIFESTED – A LIFE THAT CANNOT COME THROUGH OUR SENSES – ETERNAL LIFE (THE ONLY REAL LIFE) :
1 John 1:1-3 KJV
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; [2] (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it , and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) [3] That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Tell sincere seekers of Truth the truth!

Definitions

One thing I’ve never understood is why many people who are highly educated in spiritual leadership say that you don’t need to DO anything to become Spiritually aware. Wouldn’t it be a good idea for such sincere seekers of Truth to be told that they, too, ought to do the groundwork that brings in those first glimmerings of what spiritual life is all about?

………………………….
Compare with:

You don’t have to wait a moment
to be with Me.
You don’t have to do anything
whatsoever
to hear my voice.
You are in Me.
And I in you.
I am at once everywhere.
You don’t need to get up.
Nor to sit down.
You don’t have to close a book.
Nor open one.
Your ability to hear My voice
in your spirit
is growing by leaps and bounds.
After all,
I am speaking to you right now,
aren’t I?
(RJStarbuck)

MEMES – 5

Memes

Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.
The disturbance is in you – a concept that you entertain
#DEHYPNOTIZE

Years ago I wondered:
Why didn’t/doesn’t JESUS fix everything supernaturally?
He did, he showed mortal life to be unreal.
#AWAKEN

“Ye must be born again” said JESUS, but not way religion teaches.
Clear from your thinking everything denies ur already spiritual.

The Light shines in the darkness but the darkness comprehends it not.
We cannot afford to be in darkness any longer.
#DEHYPNOTIZE

JESUS said “I have overcome the world (belief of life in flesh)”
Spiritual awareness establishes us as residents of kingdom of God

To realize your immortality you must give up all
BELIEF IN
mortality – good and bad!
All that God has is yours. #DEHYPNOTIZE

Ya gotta know the truth and know the truth & know the truth until mortality gives up!
The end of false life is not death but Life.

God NEVER sends us evil – absolutely not!
But would you want a challenge removed before attaining your spiritual breakthrough?

God’s will is that you BE what you are – Spirit.
Sl-o-o-o-w-ly we become aware we have been, and for most part are, still asleep.

● You are the Light of the world.
● Let your Light shine.
God can educate you exactly how to #AWAKEN
#TheTruthThatHeals #NoDualism

Christ in all of us never dies.
Mortality appears real but we experience Spirit of God - omnipresent Christ.
#NoDualism
#RADICAL

Christ in you
- I S -
the kingdom of God.
Human lifespan vs. ETERNAL LIFE !!! (Not in the physical world.) #ThisCanHealYou

Christ within has been taking care of everything perfectly - right up to point where you interfered!
Let Christ decide everything.

When the Spirit gets inside your thought it is because you have "opened out a way for the hidden splendor to escape [Browning]"
:D

If you wish to entertain a negative train of thought, the kingdom of God is not 4u
Such thought couldn't enter or survive
#RADICAL

GOD IS ONE.
We are One Being.
Formless = incorporeal.
When we attain this level, how can we think we're sick, dying mortals?

Every miracle of Christ Jesus happened because he was in a spiritual body.
You have that same spiritual body.
#TheTruthThatHeals

You are the light of the world.
No disease can withstand this amazing Light.
Whatever you want to do ... is done.
#ChristInUsNow

I just realized that the problem of staying in Spirit is exactly this question:
"IS IT REALLY THAT IMPORTANT ?"
Answer: YES !!

Some challenges in life REQUIRE more stick-to-it-iveness than other issues. Sometimes we need get downright fanatical.
#RADICAL

What does #radical trust look like - to the unwary?
This:
"If your right eye causes you to stumble gouge it out & throw it away."

The Christ is the living Spirit of God.
For most people it takes l-o-o-o-ng time to awaken to the fact that they are the Christ.

OUR ONENESS IS AN EXPERIENCE : THERE'S NO INTERMEDIARY .
We -f-e-e-l- the presence of the Presence!
#SpiritualUniverse

In spiritual universe there is no time.
Anything you want is at your fingertips.
Your thinking is lucid, your decisions glorious!

I just figured out what you need (coz it's just what I need)
MEDITATION:
Much, much deeper and far more often
I-Spirit = my opener

If you were to discover you had been hypnotized a long time ago & ur environment has fed into it all these years, what would u do?

How many children does God have?
A gazillion-trillion?
Nah! - only one,
And we're it! #SpiritualUniverse

All too often people tune in to voice of Spirit, receive perfect counsel & instruction & then heed dictates of their own self-will

Can you feel the infinite structure of your being?
It's a whole different you.
Not localized.
Unspeakable freedom !!!

You've got to see the Spirit in everyone you associate with.
How?
BE THE SPIRIT .
You must always be in the Spirit of God.

In Spirit you cannot - CANNOT - look at anyone with human judgement.
Rise to your spiritual integrity & become true to who you are

Love not the world nor the things of the world or else love of the Father is not in you.
Why?
They are unreal!
#SpiritualUniverse

How can you possibly love everyone, bar none?
Love God, Spirit, in them coz that immortality is who they are
#DEHYPNOTIZE
#radical

When you are able to clear your mind of all human thinking - all of it - you're then ready to hear the
STILL SMALL VOICE
OF GOD

There's nothing we can "do" to get Spirit to speak to us.
But, don't despair...
Just shut out all yammering of human mind & listen

When you find your secret place of the Most High,
treasure it.
It will weed out everything you don't need & add whatever u do need

It is impossible to adequately describe how important it is to turn off our human mind.
Okay okay I confess this message is to me!

No longer 'in time':
No more seasons, no money, no competition, no pain, fear, death.
JUST BE WHAT YOU ARE.
#SpiritualUniverse

When I have a problem, I know it's the residue of my own material thinking. I then need to do whatever it takes to get my self out

I AM SPIRIT - ALWAYS !!
The type of living that we're wanting to do needs to be pruned and tweaked constantly!
TRANSFORMATION :)

● YOU ARE THE LIGHT
● LIVE AS THE LIGHT
● LET IT SHINE !!
● ILLUMINE THOSE AROUND YOU WE'RE THE LIGHT WHETHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT !!

When you really, really want to clear your mind of all unnecessary junk, what can you do?
Want it badly enough and focus on God.

One thing Joel drove home for me big time yesterday is to turn my consciousness directly to God for
FRESH INSPIRATION EVERYDAY.

Identity is powerful!

Identity

I had a simple
little sentence
I wanted to say –
but correctly –
so that I could
work with its contents.
Had the hardest time
getting it out though.
Started out “I need …”
[Watch your identity.]
“I-Spirit need …”
[Impossible!!]
Had just wanted to add:
” . . . illumination
. . . guidance
. . . silence
. . . clarification”.
Yeah I guess right identity
does take care of everything.

QQ-CMK: WHAT DO YOU MEDITATE?

RJS (me): Great question! I love it!
To tell the truth that was/is meditation in its purest form. You see, I never “needed” (lacked) anything at all. I [Robin] had/have the very thing I thought I wanted. With a whole new awareness (new every day) I see that I include the fullness of God AS MY IDENTITY. I’m not a vulnerable mortal, but am complete and already ONE. Every question I thought I had above is now answered in and AS Spirit. Basking in all this joy is meditation-plus!
