Frank Johnson quotes

Awakening

Belief systems (religion) promote an image of ourselves and another separate image, called God. Under this paradigm, the struggle continues to be ours, to always do the right thing. There is a deeper reality that we don’t see, far different from what we learn in church. We need to change the imagery completely; namely, we need to realize that it is God, who is the LIFE (the only Life), and that Life is ever seeking to live through us. This can only be experienced when we are ready to let go of self. We don’t lose our sense of identity, but rather, we discover our true identity. We are not this body of flesh, but are one in God, just as Jesus demonstrated.
•••••••••••••
Jesus told us that the Kingdom of God was (always) within us. The Jews were living under the ‘spell’ of a false religious understanding, and simply were unaware of the life of the Spirit in them. Had the Spirit not been present, the person wouldn’t even exist. God is the only LIFE there is. “There is one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all” (Paul).
•••••••••••••
Living from our old nature means we are still living from our finite, natural mind. We haven’t yet realized our true Nature, which is oneness in that same Spirit of Christ. Most Christians are taught to believe, but are never shown how to let go completely of self. As long as self is seen as real, God will remain simply a belief held by the mind.
••••••••••••••
“Body and Soul are created components though which Spirit expresses itself in a physical world (when realized). The body is obviously physical. The Soul is where we find mind or intellect, will and emotions. This is also where so-called psychic phenomena resides. The Soul has a lower (intellect) and a higher or psychic ability, which can be used for good or evil. The Soul is necessary for Spirit to be able to function in a physical world. Next is Spirit, and this is where church theology completely fails us. We are told we have a human spirit and in addition, there’s something else called the Holy Spirit. False. Jesus spoke of his oneness with the Father, but we just don’t get that, and it’s certainly not something attained through the mind (soul). Churches have completely destroyed the call of Jesus to be Born Again. That experience was meant to awaken us within to our true nature, which is God. But don’t misunderstand, it’s not magic, and it doesn’t happen overnight. The finite mind has to let go in order for the infinite Spirit or that inner Awareness to emerge. I love the quote that states: “We are not having a divine experience, God is having a human experience”.
••••••••••••••
What happes when we don’t grow spiritually, is we often fail to realize that God is not just taking care of us, but that His Life is our Life. There never was any separation. Only the human mind believes in duality. Jesus said it so very clearly, “When you see me, you see the Father”. Jesus revealed in himself the model of reality.

What God you believe in you’ll find

Religion No More!!

The God that you believe in, will be the God that you read in the Bible.
If you believe in the love of God you will be able to navigate your way through the mazes of different theologies in the Bible.
However if you believe in the wrath, anger and judgement of God, it will lead to a disturbing dual concept of God, that your mind cannot internally process.
The Bible is a historical document of man’s journey to discover who God is.
Some got it right, and some got it horribly wrong, which is the detrimental dilemma of those who still try to read the Bible literally.
But for those whom the Bible points to the spirit of God within;
They are free to experience, explore and discover the spirit of freedom and love.
This is life eternal and eternal life.

Rouse yourself

Letter for YOU

“ROUSE YOURSELF !!!”
was racing through
my mind last night.
“But why?” I queried.
“I want to sleep.”
“GET UP! GET UP!”
Reluctantly, obediently
I arose, shook off
The intruding quasi-thoughts
Replaced them with
Divine assurance and
Got back in bed.
This morning I awoke
More alert, better equipped
From the sweetest sleep
I had ever known.

Skeptics must stop pulling everything down.

QUANTUM PHYSICS - SPIRITUAL CONNECTIONS (BOOK)

WHAT IF skeptics were to
Make a firm decision not to
Question the Spiritual by pulling it
Down into the material realm and
Examining it from the wrong
Standpoint anymore?
God never intended us to be
So cut off and separated
As we SEEM TO BE in a
Dimension of thought
So lowly and beneath us.
rjs

Yes. Case in point. What religion does in trying to assure and comfort us, is actually to hold us down in this lower dimension of thought. Religion gives the thoughts of the mind a new name, calling it Belief. What we’re not told, is Belief is not the same as inner transformation or inner realization. The result is, intellectually we know things, but spiritually we have no awareness of the truth of our being.
~Frank Johnson

I caught myself thinking “I wonder what it’s like knowing stuff but having no experience of them?” Then, oops! that was me until I read and heard often enough (from ppl like us) that it’s gotta go much, much deeper. And then BOOM !! amazing things began to happen! Your juxtaposition, Frank, of belief vs inner realization just may hit some sleepy reader between the eyes! The second step of course occurs between the ears!!

Brain worship debunked, Lol

Awakening

BRAIN WORSHIP DEBUNKED, LOL !!
There’s more to us and God than only an egotistical, highly fallible brain. The brain – if it’s a smart one (!) – can take you to that place where God, Spirit, takes over and reveals its multifarious dimensions and realms where miracles take place and human logic is no longer seen as the be-all and end-all of life.

Those little memes can’t spell out everything: some assumptions must be made

Where’s the soup?*

Where’s the soup?*

WHERE’S THE SOUP?*
The words alphabet soup conjure up visions of the ABCs swimming in consommé. Yet, when scientists talk about a prebiotic soup, technical terms define the content and make the soup much more difficult to describe. The assumption that a vast pool of concentrated prebiotic molecules on early Earth must have brewed for a very long period of time serves as the popular explanation for life’s origin. But, what ingredients did such a prebiotic soup contain? Or did one even exist? Examining scientific clues for a prebiotic soup leads to another essential “fact of life.”According to the naturalistic explanation, the waters of the world were filled with amino acids, sugars, and others compounds that form the building blocks of life. New research now permits a look back in time to see which of these building blocks might have been an ingredient in the legendary prebiotic soup—if one actually existed.

Research over the past fifty years has failed to produce a viable explanation for self-assembly of prebiotic compounds on or in Earth.

Absent from the body = present with the Lord

Allness, Application of Scriptures

2 Cor 5:8

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. [2] For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: [3] If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. [4] For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. [5] Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. [6] Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: [7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] We are confident, I say , and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. [9] Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. [10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. [11] Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. [12] For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. [13] For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. [14] For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: [15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. [16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. [21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
