God will not change His ways to benefit or bless us: we must change our ways in order to receive God’s grace. We cannot bring God to our disobedience and ignorance, but we can become obedient and spiritually wise.
The world you see is an illusion of a world. God did not create it, for what He creates must be eternal as Himself. Yet there is nothing in the world you see that will endure forever.

The Disappearance
Of the Universe
There is nothing
About me that you
cannot attain. I have
nothing that does not
come from God. The
difference between us
now is that I have
nothing else.

The disciples said to him,
“When will the Kingdom come?
”He said, “It will not come by
watching for it. It will not be said,
‘Behold here,’ or ‘Behold there.
‘Rather, the Kingdom of the Father
is spread out upon the earth,
and people do not see it.”

The Disappearance
of the Universe
There was an authority on this earth before the world began and that authority never left this earth. Before Abraham was, I AM and I still AM, and I AM forever. I AM the Eternal Self; I AM your Authority and when you find Me, you will discover why human authorities have never been sufficient. You will discover why the Word of God can never be found outside of your own being. You will discover the path of revelation.

The Revelation of
Saint John the Divine
Volume 1
WHEN YOU WANT TO GO INTO THE SILENCE, REMEMBER YOUR PURPOSE IS TO CONNECT WITH SPIRIT, GOD. Every possible imaginable distraction will come at you but you can BORE THE CARNAL MIND TO DEATH:
● No, I won’t think about that issue now.
● No, I won’t attend to any bodily functions now.
● No, I don’t believe that lie.
● No, I’m not going there, there, or there!
● Just peace, perfection, knowing, being.
More and more, people are beginning to realize that freedom from fear, insecurity, want, and ill health is not to be found in the material realm. Wars will not end wars; investments will not ensure security from want. Medicines alleviate pain, but do not produce real health. Some greater power than can be found in the human body or thought must be tapped to give us the happiness and harmony and peace that are our birthright. This power is available to everyone because it is already a part of our being – in fact, it is the greatest part of our being.

The Infinite Way
THE SOUL is a part of man which is little known and only seldom realized. Often those in the depths of some deep sorrow break through the mist of material sense to the recesses of their inmost being, where they discover the Soul, or Reality, of being. They become Soul-conscious, and find new values, new resources, new and different strength, and an existence of an entirely different nature.

Friend: Hi Dear Magdi,
I was walking and contemplating today and the thought came to me “Is the body necessary to know I exist?”
And then as I sit in silence and do your meditations the body as I know it disappears…and yet I know I exist
….so the seeming appearance “concept called the body” is necessary until it is seen through or is no longer necessary?
Thank you,
Love,
Reply: The Self IS. Consciousness IS. Reality IS.
The mind cannot comprehend the ISness of Aware/Presence as long as the glimpse into the Self is absent.
Upon the glimpse into the Self, and upon the ongoing contemplation of truth, ISness blooms and the belief in a physical reality wanes, dissolving in the blooming of wisdom.
In ignorance, the world body mind is the reality and consciousness is a concept. And yes, in ignorance the body is necessary to know that I exist. But this I is not the true Self. It is an arising that is mistaken for the Self.
In wisdom, consciousness is the reality and the world body mind is a concept. In wisdom, the body mind is not necessary to know the Self since the knowingness of the Self is a ‘direct’ knowingness that bypasses any medium. No bridge is necessary since the Self is Self-knowing.
To go from ignorance to wisdom we contemplate the reality of our experience which reveals the reality and universality of consciousness and the impermanence of the waking dream.
Once the wisdom of the Self is revealed, no world body mind is needed to know oneself. This knowingness is beyond the mind, beyond description, beyond words. It is an inner knowingness that is expressed in/as the inner silence of Being.
Love,
Magdi
Consciousness expresses and fulfills Itself, so we need never attempt to manipulate anything in the human picture. We are beholders watching the activity of God express as our life, our supply, our health, our relationships, our peace, and our fulfillment.
If our work is not the fulfillment of our destiny, it will leave us: we need not leave it. If our home is not God-bestowed and God-governed, it will leave us and take form as something more satisfying. Inharmonious relationships will fall away. We are not doers: we are watchers, beholders. In being beholders we turn within to watch God being.
We need never run from anything. We need never try to change anything in the picture. We face each experience, every picture, and let the outflow of God- consciousness take over, dissolving the hypnotic illusion of the human picture and revealing reality.

Message for the Ages:
Not Appearances But Is
I was on the verge of re-entering the stillness with you all when a little coughing fit kicked in. This time I had specifically wanted to be a blessing to everyone in the post.
You know how a cough operates, right? It reaches a point where it thinks it’s unstoppable! Well I remembered my wish to bless and with that the unstoppable ceased mid-air.
