I am breaking the sense of limitation for you as an evidence of My presence and of My influence in your experience. I – the I of you – am in the midst of you revealing the harmony and infinity of spiritual existence. I – the I of you – never a personal sense of “I” – never a person – but the I of you – am ever with you. Look up.

Comfortable and complacent?
To those on the way, harmony in human affairs often is a lack of spiritual awakening; and, therefore, when the battle, leading to the overcoming of “this world” is on, the initiate will remain as quiet as possible under the adverse circumstances, endeavoring to refrain from fighting erroneous conditions and insofar as possible “letting” the warfare go on until the moment of transition arrives. When your spiritual study is sincere, the breaking-up of your material world – the desertion of friends, students, or family, a change of health or other outer activity – often ushers in the spiritual transition, or rebirth. This is the attainment of that which you have sought. A tremendous movement is taking place as the initiate discerns the difference between physical harmony and spiritual wholeness. Retire often into the center of Being, my Son. Let divine Love engulf you; be at peace in “My peace.”

SPIRITUAL (MYSTICAL) INTERPRETATION – TO CHANGE OUR LIVES LITERALLY !!
‘As long as there remains concern for personal good – security, health, or peace of mind – there is that which must “die daily” in order that one may be “reborn of the Spirit” into the realization of immortality here and now.’

Rising in consciousness – jsg
It is a mistake to believe that human desire and prayer will bring God to your side. There must be a rising in consciousness until His presence is attained – and there rest. Here truly is a perennial rest from care, concern, doubt, and fear.

O Students! Do not strive or seek for heavenly riches in human consciousness. Wait! Wait! Seek a HIGHER LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS (caps mine): There the Father’s treasures are as free as air. JSG:TIW
Why is religion so despicable? cc
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing
on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said “Stop!
don’t do it!”
“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.
I said, “Well, there’s so much to live for!”
He said, “Like what?”
I said, “Well…are you religious or atheist?”
He said, “Religious.”
I said, “Me too! Are you christian or buddhist?”
He said,”Christian.”
I said, “Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?”
He said, “Protestant.”
I said, “Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?”
He said, “Baptist!”
I said,”Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of God or baptist church of the Lord?”
He said, “Baptist church of God!”
I said, “Me too! Are you original baptist church of God, or are you reformed baptist church of God?”
He said,”Reformed Baptist church of God!”
I said, “Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of God, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of God, reformation of 1915?”
He said, “Reformed baptist church of God, reformation of 1915!”
I said, “Die, heretic scum”, and pushed him off.

LETTING GOD LIVE AS YOU YET ?
Or, are you still asking Him for guidance?
“Seeking guidance from God at this stage of your unfoldment will set up a sense of separation from God: It gives a sense of God and someone needing help, direction, or wisdom. Actually, you need to let God be your life – then It lives, acts, performs, and IS your very being.
“In our beginning days of meditation, we pondered or contemplated God, the qualities and nature of God, as we understood Him. As we rose higher in consciousness, we learned that any idea of God that we could entertain was not God Himself, but was only a concept of God. Thus we entered the stillness of mind leading to the deep silence of My peace – and experienced God.” JSG
Non-incarnation IS eternal life!
The closest thing that the “WORLD” (I’m being facetious) has to say about eternal life is ‘reincarnation’.
As one who doesn’t even believe in incarnation, may I say they’ve made a noble attempt (facetious!) at explaining it away.
But hey let’s take hope – at least The World is allowing for the possibility of eternal life. Would that they got an inkling of what, when and where Spirit IS !!!
Religion is a trap – muzi
One of my friends …
Well okay I’ll tell you his name
It’s Muzi Joint Heir Spirit …
Anyway he said something
really negative about religion.
Got me to wondering if maybe
we’re being too hard on it?
Doesn’t religion have good features too?
Doesn’t it spread the good word?
Doesn’t it do good things for communities?
Four honest questions –
Four honest answers: no no no & no.
Religion per se does nothing good.
It’s man-made, designed to control and extort.
Religion discourages honest cognition.
It makes people afraid to trust God.
Instilling a general milieu of
doubt, fear and complacency,
religion has as its inherent goal
to rule and punish its adherents
Forbidding genuine inquiry into the
unfortunate direction it’s headed.
So, I have to acknowledge categorically
that Muzi is right after all.
Consciousness, meditation & true prayer JSG
Spiritual consciousness lifts us above every human form of limitation and permits us to enter a larger sense of life, health, and freedom. Where there is spiritual consciousness, there is no bondage to person, place, or thing, and there are no limitations to our accomplishments.
…
Meditation is the door to the realm of the Soul, and inspiration is the way. As we learn to take five or ten minutes each morning, noon, and night to sit quietly with a “listening” ear, as we turn within ourselves and learn to wait for the “still small voice,” we acquire the habit of meditation and develop skill in its technique until inspiration possesses us and leads us to the haven of our Soul. This is the beginning of our new birth, and here we learn the new tongue of Spirit. Life begins to have a new meaning.
…..
Rightly speaking, there is not God and you, but God is ever manifest as you, and this is the oneness which assures you of infinite good. God is the life, mind, body, and substance of individual being; therefore, nothing can be added to any individual, and true prayer is the constant recognition of this truth.

Immortality – JSG
Immortality is attained in proportion as personal sense is overcome, whether here or hereafter. As we put off the personal ego and attain the consciousness of our real Self – the Reality of us, divine Consciousness – we attain immortality. And that can be achieved here and now.

Spiritual illumination – JSG
SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION enables us to discern the spiritual reality where the human concept appears to be. Spiritual sense discerns the reality of that which is appearing as concept. The development of spiritual consciousness begins with our first realization that what we are beholding through the senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell is not the reality of things. Disregarding appearances entirely, the first ray of spiritual illumination brings us hints of the divine, the eternal and immortal. This in turn makes the appearance even less real to us, thereby admitting even greater illumination. Our progress Spiritward is in proportion to the illumination which enables us to behold more and more of Reality. Because the human scene is entirely a misconception through misperception, any thought of helping, healing, correcting, or changing the material picture must be relinquished in order that we may see the ever-present Reality.
