WHEN YOU GET A CLEAR BREAKTHROUGH,
You must protect it.
The carnal mind will want to
Rip it from you.
Focus intently now
It really is a level up
See it clearly now, again.
Right there in that spot
On the wall just below the ceiling
See every bit of what Spirit put
In your heart, your soul.
See it again clearer than ever.
It’s really true:
The universe is disappearing.
Matter, which never was, is gone.
All those awful personalities
Replaced by reality –
Every last one.
Nothing matters now, does it?
Lies are crumbling away,
Truth is emboldened and free.
All – every last bit – of what God is
You are.
Nothing that God isn’t
Can you be! Nothing!!!
What God has, you have.
What God doesn’t, you don’t.
Look at that space on your wall
A bit below the ceiling.
When the world beckons you
Notice a veil over your space.
Don’t go! Not yet! Not ever!
You want the full awakening
Here is the full awakening.
The universe of matter
With all its hideous lies
….. has collapsed.
Your resurrection is nigh.
Your Truth is fully here.
All that awful stuff – a cacophony
Of noise, restlessness, discontent
Gone.
Whenever it’s possible for you and me to look at what appears to us to be a pebble, a worm, a cloud, a woman or a man, a baby, a mountain, the ocean, a tiger, a bible, in other words, any person or thing, and see through that appearance and behold its invisible source—the Christ, we’ve attained a degree of REUNION.

Do you mean GeHenna, the word Jesus used which literally means the Valley of Hinnom. Jesus warned his generation of the danger there and hundreds of thousands of bodies after being burned in the city in AD 70 were thrown into that valley where they rotted and were eaten with worms.
Do you mean Sheol? That place in the OT that simply meant the place of the dead that had no “hell” meaning?
Do you mean Hades? Are you thinking of the Greek god who ruled the underworld, had a hat that made him invisible and a three headed dog that wouldn’t let people go from his death-underworld that Jesus was said to have figuratively conquered?
Or did you mean Tartarus, the word that is used by Peter once and is only used once in the Bible not as a place to send people, but as a mythological place that Peter used as an illustration of judgment.
Wait, you must be thinking of the Lake of Fire, that place that is mentioned only in the book of Revelation and never anywhere else in the Bible. That book that is filled with apocalyptic, non-literal images to communicate about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70?
Sorry, the mythical place where satan rules and people are tormented for eternity doesn’t exist. It really was imposed over the Bible by those who wanted to control the people by fear. I used to think that was silly, but there are documented quotes by early church fathers and others who held the “doctrine of reserve”, ie the idea that they needed to reserve the truth otherwise people may live immoral and would endanger the order of society..
I’ve got it in for the English language – sometimes it makes me so mad!
That we should have to dance around a simple statement lest the whole world misconstrue it!
You can look at a solitary wave and declare effusively “Behold the ocean!”
Was the wave being pretentious?
But you’d think the sky would fall if you said something so presumptuous as “I am God”!
What else could you be, given the fact that God is All?
I blame it on English rather than the idiots who deliberately choose to assign it such an asinine connotation.
I am the presence of God.
I am the be-ing of God.
I am the Light of God.
I am the action of God.
I am the feeling of God.
I am the Christ of God.
I am the I am of God.
I am the fullness of God.
Happy?
Always a gossamer veil … .
“Do not be impatient if it takes a little time for you to reach home. You have already become involved with people and entangled in situations that you cannot leave suddenly. You will have to be led away from these without injury to the life, the well-being, or the comfort of others. You cannot have your life and well-being at the expense of others. That is not the law. ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’ ls the law. That, you can do, if you look unto Me, if you understand that I in the midst of you am Self-sustained.” ~Joel S Goldsmith
How shall I pay my legitimate debts? How shall I solve this or heal that? There is but one Answer to all such queries. It is this: Abandon the belief that you are a man, living in human existence. Stop all identification with the human. Live in Spiritual Existence, be Spiritual Being. Think as Divine Mind now! Love as Divine Love now! Abide in and as the Perfect now!
A rigorous study of Joel or Herb or Acim (or many other teachers of spiritual healing) will equip you to see that it’s never you that does – or possibly can do – anything. When we arrive at a total change of purpose in our lives, time collapses. Although we’re spending an inordinate amount of time with Joel or Herb or other well-heeled teachers of spiritual healing, we don’t mind at all because we’re becoming super-equipped ourselves and we just love love love it. Everything begins fitting in place perfectly while former problems cease being even a memory!
“Spiritual growth is, in large part, patterned on the nature of physical growth. You do not expect to put an infant in its crib at night and the next morning find an adolescent. We expect the baby to grow and develop day-by-day, according to the process God established for physical growth. The same is true of your spiritual growth.
“Yes, there are growth spurts in our spiritual development the same as there are in our physical development. There also will be periods of time when, just as in physical development, your on a plateau in your spiritual development. Then one of those moments comes and you hit a growth spurt and find yourself on a whole new level of life and relationship with God. We then begin to experience God in new and different ways. Old things pass away and new things take their place.
“We run into trouble when we mistake the growth spurt for the epitome of spirituality. When we do this, we are not prepared for the long-haul of journeyed wholeness. James 1:3-4 days it like this; “let patience do its perfect work that you may be whole and complete lacking nothing.” Verses 1-2 of that chapter talks about counting it all joy when your faith is tested for its this very testing that produces endurance. So faith, patience and endurance lead to wholeness. We don’t like that. We prefer to simply walk an aisle, attend a service and pretend to be whole. Screw all that patience and endurance stuff. Just give me the God-lite version, less work, less filling will do. At least I can control that version.
“Because we lack patience to trust our journey, we don’t develop endurance. We attempt to replace patience and endurance with an “experiential ” accelerate to speed it up. We hope that we can take shot of religious steroids and prevent such a long time of waiting for another growth spurt. We then try to reproduce the setting in which the last growth spurt took place hoping to create another such experience with same results. Marching around and around the same old mountain hoping to reproduce the fire on the mountain. We prefer mountain-top experiences to plowing, planting seed and waiting, down in the valley. What you don’t realize is that all your so-called, mountain-top water experiences, settles in the valley.
“What we also don’t know or trust is that God, by grace, is doing a lot of unnoticed prep work within us. He hides his work in a seemingly insignificant sequence of events. Perhaps even in a crisis. You might never assume these events to be a powerful work of the spirit. What’s actually happening is that you are refusing to trust the author and finisher of your faith. Therefore you don’t trust that a deep nurturing work is preparing you for another quantum leap forward. You don’t realize that the “quantum leap” is the smallest part of an ever ongoing process of grace, working “beyond what your able to think or ask” (Ephesians 3:20).
“Wholeness is NEVER the instantaneous process of putting your quarter in the right slot and seeing you spiritual formation drop down where you can reach it, whole and complete. So stop all The whining about “I don’t get it”, “I don’t even know god anymore” “I don’t know what I believe” and on and on the whining list continues. If you can’t trust Him to finish the work he started, just as he promised, why trust him about anything? Your whining because your impatient and have an addiction to being spiritually high. You need and want a fix now!
“Our culture has taught us to put our quarter in the vending machine, make a selection and presto, instant gratification of something desired. And if it doesn’t drop down, we are pissed! We start screaming at and kicking the machine trying to make it grant our demands. And if what we demand doesn’t drop down, we go find another machine and start the process again. God is not your genie in a bottle.
“The idea of spiritual growth as a continuous life-long and perhaps eternal process, (of the increase of his kingdom there is no end), rubs against our deeply ingrained instant gratification mode of life.”
Everyone of us still has some idea of God carried over from our childhood beliefs under orthodox and theological teachings, that we can gain God’s favour by certain acts of omission or commission. Many still believe that God’s flavour can be gained by certain forms of prayer or worship, or self-restraint. This is not true. Of this we must be sure: GOD IS NOT INFLUENCED BY MAN, that is, God is not influenced by individual you and me. GOD IS THE LIGHT, and if we walk out we will be in the light. God’s rain falls, and if we want it WE must walk out into the rain. GOD IS AND GOD IS LOVE, God is pouring forth It’s INFNITE GRACE, and we are not accepting it because of the use of such works as I, me and mine.
We must drop this belief that we play a part in obtaining God’s Love, God’s Grace, God’s Givingness, and remember that the only part we play is to accept it by opening our consciousness to receive it.
