Oneness is amazing*

ONENESS IS AMAZING

Getting all mixed up?
Some say do your level best.
Others say do nothing, just rest.
Some say Jesus is coming soon.
Others say he’s already here.
Some say press on, press on.
Others say that engenders fear.
And then the devil needs rebuking.
Or was it 2000 years ago.

You’ve got a bucket full of problems.
Feeling guilty for self-indulgence.
Mind is racing, answers not.
There’s no need for any mix up.
When you know God’s in you.
Living through you, AS you.
Every single issue fades away.
With You loving, You living.
You telling everyone in your mind.
Just how unspeakably amazing.
God’s ONENESS really is.

Oneness vs. The Hand of God*

Oneness vs. The Hand of God
WHY DOES MANKIND INSIST – THOUSANDS OF YEARS AFTER THE FACT – that the Scriptures are written for and about us? Like Jonah in the sea mammal’s belly thought about how elucidating it would be for Robin if he drove home the point that he should have gone directly to Nineveh! Maybe, just maybe, our superheroes of yesteryear were more interested in their mere survival than in relating a miraculous account of God’s Hand reaching through the parchment to shake a finger at us. Surely, we can become inspired and edified by reading all about people’s journeys God-ward but we mustn’t add our own flavor and drama of idolatry. We choose books to read and TV programs to watch that resonate with us: they go inside and tickle our ears from within. And we have the audacity to judge their veracity solely based on our innermosts.

Universal Oneness*

UNIVERSAL ONENESS
Extra-dimensionality answers earthbound problems
“Why do I concern myself so much with the origin and underpinnings of the UNI-VERSE?” you may rightfully ask. In fact, I care very deeply about the rift that has emerged – and is spreading – between different Christian factions. If all Christians would look up – way, way up – they’d dis-cover that eternal, immortal, omnipotent God has the absolutely perfect spiritual answer to every possible question, and infinitely more. God is, after all, entirely spiritual, perfect and eternal. Issues being debated, on the other hand, aren’t. As a matter of fact, anything less than eternal is as fleeting as a gossamer web. Redemption is one example of an attribute of the eternal: it cannot be messed with by our multifarious reinterpretations. Given freely to mankind by God, setting up a new covenant, redemption simply is. Salvation can be argued about til the cows come home, but nothing we might do or conclude can contribute one jot or one tittle in the infinite scheme of things. Jesus acted in a dimension beyond our meager comprehension when he calmed the storm, fed the multitudes, transported himself through locked doors and healed untold millions. Thank God he could and did! God’s love for us supercedes any victory that may be gleaned by quarreling over scriptures. We treat other ‘Christians’ like pariah because they’re following a different track (albeit temporarily) than ours. But God, in his multi-dimensional existence can smooth everything out in the blink of an eye. We just need to lift our sights high enough.

God’s Oneness*

O N E N E S S
EVERYTIME YOU TURN OFF THE WORLD in your mind and just listen to ME speaking to you directly from the inside – everytime you keep listening no matter what the distractions, everytime you turn your back on the slightest interruption and listen to Me with your whole heart, soul, mind, I will tell you great and wonderful things specifically for you in your life. May I begin by saying let’s call it Our life – the life that you and I share as one being and the reason that I am always with you. I love you; I have always loved you and I always will. We have great and wonderful things to do together as one person. We can start by recognizing that our vision is perfect and we can “see” our every-brother as he was created: pure and perfect, like us. We can hear with the same measure of perfection that God gave us from before the beginning of time: we can demonstrate it here and now. We are healed and whole, just as we were always intended to be.

Oneness as destination and present reality*

….. DESTINATION: ONENESS ……
Dear God,
You know that I know that You and I are One, but I write in this manner to indicate to others that as they strive to become more and more aware of their Oneness with you, they can share their progress and be encouraged by that of their friends.
We are ONE – You and I – and, as unspeakably wonderful as that is, it’s sometimes hard to wrap my mind around. It’s not only the awesome aspect of being at One with You that’s so hard to process but also how to relate to You as One with me. I wish I could speak coherently to everyone who really wants to hear about this literal earth-shattering reality. Who is the “I” that is nearly overwhelmed by Your all-consuming fire, and who is the “You” that is bigger than the universe itself and how are we now chatting like bff’s (best friends forever), mostly to show our friends that they’re not alone in this magnificent maze?
You’ve told me clearly that I don’t need to settle for calling things that I’ve yet to sort out a mere “mystery”; so I want to be exposed, stripped, vulnerable right here now and ask that You draw me in further and reveal to me – in this fleeting medium called human language – just how I might stay … with You … as One. I feel You’re wanting to reveal to me that we are infinitely better than two unequals meshing together – but always two unequals. Just as You include me, I include you. Remember, I’m asking for language – simple, unpuffed up language. Make our Marriage Complete by letting me no longer wonder how to take Our Self to the world. Let me no longer be impressed one iota with ANYTHING that is unlike You … … … I mean Us. That’s it!!! We are One. The royal “We” includes no inner division.
Whenever I feel eerily estranged from our Oneness, I’ll assert that We cannot be estranged from Ourself, We know all we ever need to know, We see into the realms Jesus trod, We see Your/Our kingdom as it is … now! Now we know the only “We”, “I”, “Us”, “One”, “You&me” = God, me.
Love,
God

Re. HURRICANES

Re. HURRICANES
The technical aspect that I struggle to convey is that the APPLICATION of our mountain-moving (and by extrapolation, hurricane-moving) is to go immediately into the Spiritual realm (of God) and stay there. No peeking! I don’t mean to be flippant about such a huge issue. I mean to be huge about it!

YOU CAN HEAL YOURSELF NOW: A Radical Approach

A N N O U N C E M E N T .. !!!
BOTH THE PRINTED AND KINDLE VERSIONS OF
My All-New book have just come out:
“HEAL YOURSELF NOW : A Radical Approach”
($3.99 in print; 99 cents on Kindle).
I’m really excited about this because for many, many years I’ve wanted to have a very short, concise, succinct book that we could use as a handout and which would explain clearly how one can turn to God for complete healing and restoration.
I did my level best to keep from alienating people as I feel anyone can be healed by God once a genuine, consistent contact has been established. Now I finally have something inexpensive that I can give away freely. You can too, if you want to.
“HEAL YOURSELF NOW: A Radical Approach” is available at the below link.

Spiritualize or materialize Bible

Some people spiritualize the Bible
Way, way, way too much.
Should I be asking to have my
Cloak and parchment brought to me
In order to be “up there” like Paul?

Other people materialize the Bible
Way, way, way too much.
Is there nothing sacrosanct
To be found among its pages?
And why will I be thought a
“Hairy tick” if I glean some precious
Inspiration that points me to God?

Is there no great I AM within me
That in full glory of Oneness
Is none other than the Holy Spirit
Telling me so?

We can, should and must destroy
All blameworthy malevolent images
Basking ‘tween our ears
And hear the ONE who is LOVE,
Who is GOD.

The NEW Religion

The new religion is boasting of no religion and the new law is boasting of no law. If you don’t agree with my new religion and new law then you are religious.

The things I think and think about but am too timid to mention – thank you, Don, for exposing! 😉

< Sigh > I remember when “religious” used to be a good word! I brush my teeth religiously. I do my homework religiously. I exercise religiously. Now if erryone’s gonna trace religious to its roots (religare) and conclude that is a return to bondage, can you blame us for running away with all due haste?
