Reality is one
What is there to speak of?
What more to say?
In truth
Nothing is apart
It is so simple
Yet, you must apply yourself day and night
To arrive at this simple understanding
That will bring an end to your unhappy illusion of separation.
Magdi Badawy
“Whenever you’re weary, whenever you’re confused, whenever there’s something you’ve searched to find an answer to,
JUST GO BACK AND BE ONE WITH THE ONE [caps mine].
That’s all there is to it!
Be one with the ONE. Give yourself the luxury of Oneness and you’ll discover from the farthermost ends of what is called the earth, the One is ever-present, responding and functioning and being and doing and maintaining the infinite harmony of his own nature.
From your shoulders goes every thought and worry and every weight because all there is is the pure Immaculate one. There is no other. You really are that one. Your mind may try to overcome the sense of body, but it’s only the absence of the mind that overcomes the sense of body.

Continuous God Contact
Part II, [transcribed by rjs]
The biggest factor in spiritual healing is to resist the temptation to turn to God to bring about a healing. Instead we must acknowledge that God, Spirit, alone is the cause, the law, and the substance of all form, and that regardless of any appearance to the contrary, we will stand on this truth: “Judge not according to the appearance.” Appearances may testify to a sin or a disease; appearances may testify to something or other not of God, but if we judge by appearances, we are going to be a slave to appearances. To be free means to acknowledge that all that God made is good, and anything that does not conform to that standard is not God-ordained and has no law of God to enforce it.
To discipline ourselves not to turn to God expecting God to do something for us, is itself an indication of the difficulty of embracing the spiritual life, because the very idea of expecting God to do something for us suggests the idea that God is not doing it for us now. That is a denial of the truth that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is a denial of omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience. To believe for a minute that God can do something for us after we have given a treatment or been given a treatment is a denial of God. The treatment should consist of the understanding of omnipresence, even before we pray.
“Before they call, I will answer.” Before they call! If we believe that God is going to operate after we have prayed, we have misunderstood the nature of God and have cut ourselves off from God. God is not going to act in the future. In God there is no time: no past, no present, and no future. There is only now. Now is the only time God is, and all that God is, God is now. All that God is ever going to be, God is being now; all that God ever was, God is now. All that God was in Galilee two thousand years ago, God is here and now this minute. All that God did in the Holy Land two thousand years ago through Jesus Christ, God is doing at this very moment, in this room, through us. Just as “God is no respecter of persons,” God is no respecter of time. God did not pick two thousand years ago as the time to do healing work and leave all the people before that and all the people who have lived since then out in the cold. There is no such God.
Everything is an activity of consciousness and, therefore, we consciously, sometimes even unconsciously, cut ourselves off from God by accepting the opinions of the world. But we can stop that nonsense any time we choose and realize:
‘What God was, God is, and what God is, God ever will be. God is omnipresence; God is omnipotence; and God is omniscience. God is, and that is enough. God is here and now where I am. “The place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Here where I am is holy ground, for I and the Father are one. There is no separation between God and man! God shows Himself forth as man. God shows forth His whole glory as man, and that man is here and now, the man I am.’
We open our consciousness to this truth and, as we embrace it, we embrace the whole of the Godhead. If we do not open ourselves to the truth, we are closing our consciousness to God, but that does not prevent somebody else’s embracing it. “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee,” if we open our consciousness to the truth of omnipresence.

The world of form
Appears
Thus it is an appearance
Like all appearances
It disappears
What is the substance of that which appears and disappears?
Like all night dreams
Like the weather
The substance of the world body mind
Is its dreamer.
We have never known a world
Outside of ourself.
Magdi Badawy
The home of the world is the mind.
The home of the mind is consciousness.
Magdi Badawy
What we refer to as the body is an open borderless space of awareness that embraces everything.
Within this space of being/presence, awareness is everything, without any separate doer or observer.
The breath, thought, the swinging branches of the trees, the song of the birds in the distance intermingle as one seamless fabric.
Magdi Badawy
Look into this very moment
Sink into it
Breathe into it
Invite yourself to dissolve
In this moment of not knowing
What am I?
What is it that is right now?
The depth of it
The breadth of it
Not knowing
Pure being, deepening
This very moment
Of stillness and silence
Magdi Badawy
To go to bed at night with the final few minutes before sleep filled with God is, in itself, enough to give us a restful night and a peaceful
moming. Always, we are thinking something: we are either knowing the truth or not knowing the truth; we are either thinking spiritual
thoughts or carnal thoughts. Always, we are either placing our faith, hope, and trust in the Infinite Invisible that is within our very own
being or in something covered with silver and gold, or of a fleshly nature. In one way or another, we are setting in motion the law that
in the end either rewards or punishes us.

HAS MOOJI BEEN READING MY DIARY? Lol, I don’t have one, but:
“Nothing has to be wrong for the mind
to launch an attack.
Nothing has to be wrong for it
to make up big stories, out of nothing actually.
There only has to be a seed of a thought
given attention, ‘Hmm, there’s still some separation…?’
And the mind says, ‘You see?
I’ve been trying to tell you!’ and there you go,
sailing off down the road with the unstable
and unreliable mind. It can happen just like this.
The mind doesn’t need any substance or truth.
You can give him anything.
He is like a goat—he eats anything.
And we are quick to believe anything it says.
Our life is chiefly made up of thoughts, interpretations
—and wrong interpretations also,
based upon fear, desire and rejection.
This is why I say: pay attention
to the sense of being—the Self.
Be one with the Self, rather than trying
to pick and choose through
the innumerable thoughts and sensations
that mind tends to see
—which one is true and which is false.
You can spend lifetimes doing this
and you will never come to the end of it.
As soon as you finish pruning this tree,
new leaves are coming.
So don’t waste time cleaning up the mind.
Stay as the Self. As you train your attention
and mind to stay as the Self, the space
in which the mind and person lives vanishes.
Thus you come to experience a completeness,
a contentment in just resting in and as the Self.
And when you are content, the interest
will fall away from these other rooms
and their contents.
The feeling of separation, or even union,
all of this becomes redundant as thoughts.
You simply are. There is a unity in that.
There is a harmony in this.
And where no doubts come,
there is even no need for union or separation.
You experience real unity
beyond even the concept of unity.
This is your natural state.”
Mooji
A TREATMENT OF Matthew 5:43-48
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ [44] But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45] that you may BE [emphasis mine] children of your Father in heaven. [You already are, but need to realize it.] He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. [God loves everyone equally.] [46] If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? [Not looking for remuneration, but attitude adjustment.] Are not even the tax collectors doing that? [Lol] [47] And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? [48] Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
REPEAT: ‘BE PERFECT … AS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT.’
There’s no room for ambiguity here!
The BOTTOM LINE: If you want to fulfill God’s dictum to be perfect, you’ll need to appeal to the spiritual dimension where nothing exists but divine perfection, Bringing it Home…, to the truth of who we all are! <3
Whether the earth earthly will ever approximate full recovery, I know not; but I do know that those who are ready can find their way. A lackadaisical approach will certainly never bear fruit though as there is some pain to be dealt with but everything and I mean everything becomes all joy when the prize is the epitome of phenomenal.

Now tomorrow, when you run out into your human world, you’re not running in the Kingdom of God; you’re not walking in reality when you do that; you’re going through your imaginary life. There comes a place where you stop. You really stop your imaginary life. You don’t walk in an imaginary life continuously. You come to a direct stop and you accept, if you understand, that the Spirit of God which you are, is not the flesh that is running out into an imaginary life. And that’s where you rest. You refuse to be an imaginary person. And you wait upon the Lord. I think we’re going to do that a little later.
I can tell you this: when you make that stand, something begins in you that doesn’t seem to happen until you make that stand. A certain kind of New Life begins to make Itself known to you. And to your surprise, when you refuse to be the imaginary person of flesh, going about the imaginary chores of the material world, in that Silence, in that inspired moment, when you can shake away in your Consciousness all that you are not, and resolutely refuse to be it, into that vacuum falls the birth of the New Self.
