THE COMFORTER
The world cannot accept the Spirit of truth because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
John 14:17
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. [21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. [22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? [23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. [25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. [26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. [27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:16-27
He that hateth me hateth my Father also. [24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. [25] But this cometh to pass , that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. [26] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: [27] And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
John 15:23-27
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:7

Be still and know I AM=God
I AM is revealed in your stillness and as your stillness. The stillness that you are, the stillness that is, the stillness that is not the result of any doing, that is not caused by any causation. The stillness that is ISNESS. Limitless, borderless stillness. Impersonal, universal beingness/stillness.
Thus, no doing is required. It is a noticing, effortless noticing of the reality of AMNESS, impersonal beingness. I AM noticing itSelf, knowing itSelf as borderless impersonal Self.
I AM is universal beingness. Godness.
Beyond any doubt I AM
I AM ISNESS
I AM is ISNESS
I AM requires no thought
I AM is self knowing
I AM KNOWINGNESS
I AM ISNESS KNOWINGNESS
Know Thyself is knowing oneself as I AMNESS universal, limitless knowingness, borderless beingness, wholeness, oneness.
As you rest in I AM, the universality of I AM dissolves the me-residues into itself and returns you to your innate AMNESS and reveals you to yourself as the peace and bliss of the Self.
‘Be still and know I am God’ refers to this Self knowing and not to the knowing of a separate God.

Lazarus: Belief of evidence of senses must die
RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS FROM WORLD THOUGHT
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days STILL in the same place where he was.
John 11:6
[breaking the link with world thought, in stillness they’re all one.]
Be STILL, and know that I am God. Ps46:10
…
When Divine will takes over completely you’ll have new stages of consciousness.
…
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 11:25
Doesn’t take long to cave…
HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT CHRIST?
You’re probably one of the most astute
Followers of Christ known to man
But it’s not getting you much at all.
You’ve done more, surrendered more
Kept on the straight and narrow.
After many, many hours of receiving
And communing you’re finally ready
To take a break, put on TV and kick back.
Amazing how quickly you’re sucked into
Dramas of sex, booze & snide remarks!
Since when was it okay for you to side
With the criminal who gets the girl?
How is it suddenly congenial to see all
Those people as beyond hope or care?
Where did you disappear to in a flash?
You’re taking in a lot of poison
But hey that’s okay it’s only temporary
You’ll be back on track shortly
Pick up where you left off, adamantly
Denying aforementioned intruders….
Hah!! Ever wondered how it was
They fit so snugly into the huge gaping
Wide open arena you once called
Your intimate conscious awareness of
All things connected, perfect and free?
When we say “I”
The infinity of Spirit
is our home
and we are beginning to
feel comfortable with it.
When we say “I”
we’re referring of course
to ourself … and
we know our Self
Is God.
“Believing” vs. Knowing God consciousness
People go astray – trying to ‘believe’ healing into existence. I don’t think it’s possible to scare up enough ‘believing’ to actually believe something that’s patently false. 2+2=4, not 5, no matter what. Perfect Spirit, God, is true consciousness with no opposite, no separation.
Free of downward drag of matter, no more incarnations
NOT SUBSERVIENT TO THE WORLD MIND OR EVEN THE HUMAN MIND ANY MORE. WALK BACK INTO THE LIGHT:
Isaiah 26:19-21
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. [20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. [21] For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
IN FOURTH DIMENSIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS, NEW JERUSALEM.
Matthew 27:52-53
and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. [53] They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
STEP OUT OF THE WORLD AND LET IT GO BY. STAND IN THE ETERNAL NOW. THE ETERNAL “I”.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. [10] Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. [11] No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. [15] Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.
Ecclesiastes 3:14-15
Five cats healed*
YOU PROLLY WON’T BELIEVE THIS BUT
Some years ago I received a frantic call from my brother telling me that all 5 of his cats were deathly ill and had been sick for several days. He was choking back tears because he said there were signs that death was imminent such as their staying in their litter boxes. He had to leave for work shortly, but would I look in on the cats? Of course I said I would and after calming myself down enough to pray, I went down to his apartment (same building as mine) to visit the kitties. I went from one cat to the next and found that my brother was NOT exaggerating. I laid hands on them – one by one, addressed them by name and told them in no uncertain terms that God had created them perfect and that matter had no power over them – or something like that. Finally, I left to go about my own business, knowing that the little darlings were in God’s hands. In the evening, my brother called to tell me that I had “left (my) mark” I asked if I had left my jacket there. He said, “You left your mark on every one of the cats’ faces. They are completely healed.” I’m ashamed to say I couldn’t believe it and had to run down and check them myself. …Every …single …cat …was …completely …healed!!!!
Mysticism vs. religion
MYSTICISM VS. RELIGION
………….
When we speak of mysticism we speak of experiential knowledge of God, not just a left brain mental belief system. A mystical experience is a grasp of the whole by the whole. That’s what makes it so transformative. God is another name for the heart or center of everything and it’s sole source of connectedness. When you say you love God, you are saying you love everything. Immature religion, fundamentalism, is an excuse for not loving a whole bunch of things and reveals you have not had an authentic God experience. An authentic God experience produces two things at its core: quiet confidence as opposed to argumentative confidence, and joyous gratitude. That’s why mystics can love their enemies. They don’t make the distinctions that low-level religion makes. Low-level religion is mostly just tribal belief systems which hold the group together. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad place as we all need a tribal container to hold us in place long enough to discover the real questions and struggle with them. It’s this struggle that leads us out. Unless we realize bondage we don’t have a desire for freedom. Organized religion never answers the real questions the soul is asking. In fact organized religion wants to silence the questions unless they are on its list of acceptable questions, to which It holds the infallible answer that needs no further questioning.

Abba, speak in Divine wordlessness*
When I ponder
God’s Omnipresence
Omniscience and Omnipotence
There are times my mind is Instantaneously freed to soar
And sing of His glories.
Other times, not so much.
Times I need to feel
His closeness, gently speaking
To the child of me,
Until I once again see:
The Christ in me
IS me
And I am He.
Abba, Papa, God in me
Speak in Divine wordlessness.
Calmly bring to remembrance
Your infinitude, Life and Love
Oneness, Allness, Is-ness,
I Am, Spirit and Soul,
The world knows not of.
