A lot of heartache could be averted and a lot of inspiration gleaned if we would realize how lame our overly zealous quasi-religious expressions sound to new people – especially the young. Speak about Jesus, God, I AM, but let’s try emptying our terminology of doctrinal double-speak. Anyone and everyone on the planet deserves to know that God is within them – whether they acknowledge it or not. But a high and lofty throne room of glory? Tell them that symbolism has its place as an invaluable teaching assist, but at least always be able to speak plain relevant accessible truth.
Why does self separate itself? – Magdi Badawi
HOW COME THE SELF SEPARATES ITSELF?
Friend: How come I imagine myself to be other than what I am, other than the Self? How come I imagine myself to be so separate? You speak over and over that we are wholeness and yet, we all experience being separate. Can you explain and help me solve this conundrum?
Reply: It is your freedom and infinite potential to create and conceptualize. The I-seed of conceptualization is planted within you. It arises since the ground is fertile, you assume the I-thought and the I-dentity as a separate form, a dream form.
The multiplicity of forms arises from the initial I-seed-form.
You dream yourself as form, as a concept, but all along, you remain as you are. You feel and believe something has happened, something is happening while nothing is happening.
You forget your knowingness in order to perceive the multiplicity. Upon your lost interest in the forms and names, you return to your recollection and realize your innate wholeness.
The multiplicity of form is imagined. It is mentation and like a dream, it completely dissolves upon your awakening from the dream.
At the core of all mind impressions is the stillness, the void emptiness of all forms.
Thoughts take you on a long and far journey and at some point they return to their source and reveal their emptiness.
The Self never goes anywhere. Where would it go since it is beyond concept?

Friend: Thank you. I understand the teaching and yet I feel trapped as if my life is a routine, spinning the same thing over and over without being able to escape.
Reply: You dream this spin as soon as you leave yourself. You are perceiving through the concept and you have defined yourself as a form in order to experience the world body mind.
It is not your life that is a routine. Rather it is you that is a routine: ‘I am the body mind’ is the routine that spins you. It is this limited identification that is repetitive. It suffocates you and spins you around the same belief.
Upon awakening from the dream, the repetitive images cease and you find yourself awake as you have ever been.
~~~
Friend: I cannot wait to awaken!
Reply: Look behind the mirror. The images in the mirror lure you and distract you. Ask yourself: What am I truly? but do not address this question to your concept or your past. Ask it to the Self.
The real one who is asking and the real one who is being asked are one and the same. None of which has ever been anything else but the Self.

Steps leading to breakthrough
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE a major spiritual breakthrough, try to vividly recall the final steps leading to your glorious overcoming. Then when the world mind tries to pull you down with a brand new horror story, you’ve got that critical moment leading to a huge victory to bask in once again and forever!
Symbology is a temporary expedient
For those of us who are trying to reach new people, there is good news: we don’t have to hang on to symbolic language as if it had power by itself. Some years ago I read The Book and was so enamored of the expression ‘heaven invading earth’ and ‘Throne Room glory’. These expressions blessed me immensely then but it wasn’t the words or the symbology: it’s what I needed at that time. Since then I’ve learned so much more…
MEMES – 10
You thought you were forgiving as you believed God wanted you to but alas it’s still there!
There’s too much ‘you’ trying too hard
So what should I doooo?
I wanna forgive the $#%& but I caaan’t!
You’re in the wrong realm. God doesn’t live there!
#THISCANHEALYOU
You just don’t truly grasp
H O W _ M U C H
it is true that if God (infinite Good) didn’t make it, it isn’t real.
See Christ instead
Right where you see that awful person/situation know that in Spiritual reality, something very real & substantial was instead: God
I still see people flipping back & forth, back & forth!
Please quit doing that to yourself!
Go. Directly. To. Spirit. God. & Stay.
So what’s it gonna be for the rest of your life?
Th hypnotic state you [no one in particular] have been in
Or break free forever?
If you can begin to see what is & was there instead of awful (seeming) condition, great!
If you can actually see God, Love
WOW !!
Will those of you who have no forgiveness issues to mind please raise your hands!
See that? I didn’t see single hand!
#DEHYPNOTIZE
When you still have that gnawing in the stomach after many many years of trying to forgive it’s time to quit.
God has a better way
Over the years I’ve heard so much really good stuff about forgiveness
Really really good!
Only problem is it doesn’t work.
#AWAKEN
When our relationship with God becomes so unspeakably important that nothing else matters, forGIVING is automatic!
……………………..
The time will come in your life when
EVERY DAY
you will find yourself separating yourself from world mind #NoDualism

Thinking you’d like to drop off a few pounds but wondering if you’re too self(small ‘s’) absorbed?

You are not going to heal ____.
You are being called upon to step aside and see the perfect divine being right there instead.

JESUS said “You ARE the Light of the world.”
In ONENESS we ARE everything God is RIGHT NOW.
Our #Consciousness is already perfect!
Spiritual forgiveness is predicated on the fact that there’s nothing to forgive.
Spiritual healing means nothing to heal.
#ONENESS
Jesus never healed the withered arm.
God never created a withered arm.
Or a good arm.
God is Spirit and that’s why we are too!
What if you discovered that whatever sickness, disease, lack ur suffering is 100% in your mind and can be healed?
#JustaQuestion
Searching for your perfect mantra for today?
How about (to any distraction):
“NO, I JUST DON’T WANT TO LEAVE
#CONSCIOUSNESS”
Question
Isn’t th endeavor to clean & clear up one’s thinking before ‘going’ to God a lot like washing up before taking a bath?
:p
The only thing mortal about you is your belief in mortality.
With no belief in it we’re released from the cycle of reincarnation
Whatever you know with your five senses is in your mind.
Or,
You are in conscious awareness of an incorporeal universe.
\♤/
All is One Infinite I.
“It is I: do you not hear me?”
The more you can’t find you, the more you’ll find I. #ChristInUsNow
GOD IS ALL
God isn’t corporeal, mortal, finite nor imperfect
#GodisAll
Grace will get you to perfect AWARENESS if you’ll let it
You too will step out of the wilderness when you realize that
I AM
immortal being.
#ThisChangesEverything
What jams up new awareness is inquirer insists on hurling himself headlong back into mortal dream in last ditch effort to fix it.
The revelation of immortality is universal.
Jesus doesn’t need to come back to this material earth for us to do even greater works
If you believe in Immortal I as substance of ur being then works that the I did as Christ consciousness in biblical days u can do.
If you accept I as your immortal selfhood, u can surely say with Jesus “I and the Father are ONE !”
Ponder such truths long & deep
There’s a thing been going on with me for quite a long time now
Me: I empty myself of me & want only I AM.
God: Write…
[So I do]
Look within you:
It is I.
Be not afraid: it is I.
The I in the other person (friend or enemy) is the same I that is in you. And me
Do you want to go from a bad state of materialism to a good state of materialism?
Jesus didn’t.
That wasn’t his purpose on earth.
Choose this day who you will serve.
Are you born of the flesh?
Or of Spirit?
You can’t be both although many of us keep trying to!
The I of me is God
I Am protected from the world mind.
Take no thought for your mortal life
coz you never had one! #ChristInUsNow
I in the midst of you Am God.
Be still and know that I Am God.
I can never leave u.
I – your immortal Self – raise u from the dead
If you’re seeing mere mortals you’re in mortal consciousness!
If ur seeing immortals ur in Christ consciousness!
● No confusion ●
You live in a Spiritual universe by being conscious of it
You’re being lifted to new kind of independent life not subject to world
Very few people have no problem meditating.
The reason?
Human beings are trying to meditate.
Turn to I to do all ur meditating…
Dispense with false allegiances
Every once in a while in my very long love relationship with Father, God, I have come across a teaching that knocks my socks off.
A very fine point that I gleaned in the ensuing study was this: ONCE YOU DETERMINE THAT THE TEACHING IS ROCK SOLID (1.) Dispense with trying to poke holes in it. Holy Spirit has already sent you there. (2.) Quit obsessively trying to make it blend with your old method that has failed you for so long. (3.) Look for the new message that Papa wants you to come away with.
Be courageous and trust that God doesn’t need or want to hold you back with old methodology, uninspired interpretations and false allegiances. God is pure, vibrant, living Love.
Crippled man’s baptism not wrong
Briefly watching on fb a water baptism of a very elderly crippled man, my first thought was “Why…?” Then I realized that while his relationship with God was quite different from mine, it didn’t mean that one way was superior and another inferior: they were just different.
One very valuable expression of love – the Jesus type of love – that we can always exercise is to see our every-brother as God sees us AND ACT THAT WAY !! There exist multifarious similarities between ourselves, wanting to enlighten the world and others who also want to share.
So, where the elderly gentleman had all he could do to get his aching body into the baptismal tub, he certainly was exhibiting an astounding degree of faith. Who am I to say his way – though not my way – is wrong? Judging one another’s pure heart of God will bring untold unity.
Lawdy, tell me why flipping mid-question
Why, oh why?
Oh, Lawdy, tell me why
perfectly intelligent people
flip back and forth mid-sentence
ostensibly asking a legitimate question
about Spirit, God, Infinite Perfection
while adamantly insisting that
the answer be verifiable
in their mortal test-
tube of matter?
Misinterpreting and mocking
To “follow” someone doesn’t mean walk after their human body (dead or alive) in your human body.
It means to appreciate what they’ve given the world in terms of spiritual insight and inspiration.
Why do we get such a kick out of misinterpreting what someone says and then mocking them? What loving purpose does it serve?
The same extreme commitment – rjs
Have you ever tried and tried
And tried some more
To get Spirit fully infused
In your conscious awareness
But nothing ever worked until
You hit an emergency situation
Where hope had vanished and
Help was nowhere in sight?
In utter desperation you had an
Epiphany: “Nothing else matters
In this sorry mess of mine
Or anywhere else in the world.
I don’t care anymore, that’s all I know.
God, divine Spirit, I want only You ….. Everything was SUDDENLY HEALED?
You were astonished beyond measure
Sure you were dreaming – how could
It be that you … unworthy for lack
Of insight and perspicacity … you
Could have received such an
Unspeakably amazing miracle
Midst all the sad drama of yesterday?
But now that’s months ago already
And you’re trying, trying, trying
To keep the elation, the astonishment
Alive. You want to bask in it forever
But how? What to do? Should I dare
Recreate an hideous, horrible, Life-
Threatening situation?
Think deeply now: it’s not the situation
But the exact same degree of intense
Critical commitment that you finally
Had in place the last time — moments
Before you SURRENDERED ABSOLUTELY
EVERYTHING – AND WANTED NOTHING
WHATSOEVER except proof that Spirit,
God, was fully in charge.
