Journey Notes........

Current ventures............

2009-03-06T09:54:00.000-08:00

Been awhile since I've posted here. Update:

Been studying Hinduism and currently reading the Bhagavad Gita on the various practices of 'yoga', which center ultimately on the science of Self-realization. On our Hinduism thread, we are using the Bhagavad Gita As it is, for our text-commentaries.

Also reading transmissions from the Arcturians, who are assisting in our spiritual evolution and ascension to the higher dimensions. These teachings synthesize with the ascended master schools and other extra-terrestrial sources guiding man to his higher calling, towards a New Golden Age.

Meta-tation:

Let us open heart & soul to the all-pervading Brahman, attune to the Paramatman within, and give worship to the Bhagavan, the divine Personality of the Godhead...who is the archetypal Person of our devotion, representing the transcendental form of Deity. We recognize the 3 aspects of 'God', the Brahman(all-pervading Spirit-energy), the Paramatman(the indwelling Deity-presence)...and the Bhagavan (divine Personality of God, the transcendental form the Supreme Person who dwells in his heavenly Abode). All aspects of the 'Lord' are acknowledged and revered in the Vaishnava tradition of Hindu devotion, in the bhakti tradition. Using this particular translation of the Gita,...we enter our meditations in the religious/devotional sense....allowing also for more open philosophic and esoteric interpretations as well. All glory to the divine Personality, and His all-pervading Presence.....the Brahman and atma(soul) being of the One substance, with all its many expressions thru-out space and time. All glory to the Eternal One, without a second. One Ocean, many rivers. One Light, many rays. One substance, many forms. Glory to the One Love.

Soul

2009-01-03T22:54:00.000-08:00

If we meditate upon the word 'Soul' we see it as 'God's eternal Idea of man' - so 'Soul' is the innate spiritual idea of a living entity that exists in some 'form' within or without a 'matter-ial' body. The essence and concept of 'Soul' however,...exists forever in the Mind of God as 'idea', the pre-conceptual image of a 'living consciousness' individualized.

'Soul' to me is the inner essence of a living conscious entity that has an individuality of being. 'Soul' is eternal in the sense that it is made of God-mind and derived of God's essence...a living complex of mind and spirit with individuality and consciousness. Because what is created out of God's own Spirit, that substance has the same nature and potency as God Himself, infused with life/light/consciousness. As long as an living entity has consciousness and 'identity' it is a functioning soul-unit, a center of God-activity. The 'I AM' individualized.

We are Soul embodied as Man, an individualized expression of God. Spirit is the energy of soul, so that the soul of Man by nature has the potency of immortality, latent within its own inherent nature. Whether one believes that the soul wil be resurrected at a later time or continues on immediately after the physical body dies... may be a 'technical issue' as both beliefs 'end' in living souls endowed with life or immortality at some juncture, whether it be NOW (inherently waiting to be further developed) or in some miraculous future event. All souls who accept, receive and co-operate with the Life-giving Spirit are being regenerated thru the One Divine Life, via the 'Christ' (divine principle/pattern/idea of God in Man) to arise in his divine Sonship and eternal inheritance as an immortal soul.

Original Creation

2008-12-01T14:37:00.000-08:00

The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."

-Gospel of Thomas

In the beginning, lies the secret of Life, the spring of eternity, the holy Will. The beginning-place is our root and origin. All traces back to the beginning, and will have its end according to the Original Spirit. Surrending one's being to the Root, anchoring in the primal Unity, being that original will, true creation and eternal trust,...is the Way of Life - wherein the illusion of death is wholly transcended.

Being, without a doubt

2008-11-26T14:21:00.000-08:00

This writing was inspired by the question of one ever doubting 'God' or their belief in God in a Theologyonine discussion. Its premised in a fundamental non-duality perspective.

Meta-tation:

All depends on the premise and definition of 'God' in our consideration, and what 'God' is or means to us - who and what is defining the term for us, within any given context. The 'God' of the judeo-christian tradition while presumed to be the same 'God', is still variously described. - in general, some might question such a 'god' if its character is distorted or hard to understand, or dogma about its existence becomes too illogical or unbearable. The postive light of such a god, as being Love and Light, the substance and giver of all goodness and beauty, certainly has its pleasures - this is a kind of 'god' we can grow to love, because we discover that its essence is Love itself. - therefore, in this sphere of knowledge,...life bears intrinsic value of ever potentializing worth. - it is worth living, because one finds value in being.

Fundamentally I hold God as Life, Existence, Being, Truth, Reality itself,...the source, substrate and substance of All that Is. Therefore, 'God' is Reality. Existence is inviolable. One must recognize in the stillness of Silence, in that spiritual space of BEING....this reality of existence, in its purity,... as innate, supreme, all-pervading, latent with all potential.

This truth of existence is Absolute. - what one experiences thru the limited perception of the ego is 'relative' and subject to all the changing experiences of space/time creation (in these finite dimensions). But Spirit is ever free.

Since my basal view and knowledge of 'God' as Original Reality is fundamentally THIS (this reality here, now and forever...in this moment and every moment)...any 'doubts' of its existence is utter vanity and futility. Doubt is essentially impossible, for the only Possible Truth is God, the Father/Mother of all possibility. Nothing can do anything against Truth. - however many doubts are thrown up against it, they are powerless to efface what IS. Doubts can only arise against thoughts, beliefs or concepts about God. When one surrenders all thoughts, beliefs and concepts,....there is Only God.

One cannot escape the truth of Existence or oneSelf (since 'God' and 'Self' are One). Life, Being, Light(Consciousness), Living Awareness...is its own proof, and IS All there IS. We use words to describe Truth or 'God', for they are tools/pointers for communication. They point to that which is before, behind and beyond any thoughts or words.

God is Light. I Am Light. You are Light. There is Only 'This'. In this thisness....is All ! Know this, Be this, Live this, Radiate this. - its truth will shine forth out of the essence of your being, for it is what you ARE.

Agni Yoga and Leaves of Morya's Garden

2008-10-12T21:22:00.000-07:00

Greetings all,

It's been awhile since posting and devoting more time lately to writing and dialogues at Theologyonline.

Been looking into the school of Agni Yoga, and the wonderful inspired poetry from Master Morya. I'll share some verses from Leaves of Morya's garden with commentary, honoring the fire-yoga of spiritual will, awakening the warrior of light within.

The warrior's song

108. Fear not being insufficiently active; the air is tense and the
fiery cross of love will cover the field of your battle,
and the song of harmony will ascend.

112. The Hand of the Teacher reveals the power of the rays.
Comprehend their salutary light.
Morya fills your being with the power of calmness.
And when the stillness of harmony embraces you
the force of your arrows will increase.

114. I tell you — be vigilant.
Combine strength and understanding.
My Ring will seal the happiness of those who spread
My Teaching.

120. In the history of mankind is revealed the great
battle at the change of races; at the call to battle
each summoned warrior takes up his arms.
Providence leads nations by way of struggle; and you,
My warriors, guard yourselves with the Shield of
God’s Will, and the Divine Song will ever find
echo within you.

130. The Bliss manifested on the Heavenly Heights
will bestow courage upon the legion of warriors
for Truth.

150. The ray disperses the clouds — a new path is
revealed to the conqueror.

- Leaves of Morya's Garden 1

The infantry of Light mounts the plain, ascending to Mount Zion, with the zeal of truth, banner of wisdom, and vanguard of Light. They scale space and time for the Victory of the Spirit, triumphing in the eternal Will.

Primacy of Being

2008-09-04T18:20:00.000-07:00

"As grand and sublime as nature is, with all her planets and systems of planets, and all things thereon contained, yet she and all her forms are but symbols or spoken words representative of the ideas that are forever resting in that which is symboled - the Speaker. Creation therefore represents the divine ideas which are forever resting in the Creator. If nature, the appearance, be so sublime, how more transcendently so must be the reality or Creator; hence the eternal truth conveyed in the words, “thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever,” so let it be. What is it to find the kingdom of heaven and dwell therein? but to get understanding, and to become fully conscious that we live and move and have our being in God. To thus know that the kingdom of heaven is at hand is to live in the realization of the power and glory of Being. The reason why the wisdom and power of Being is not more fully manifest, is because the attention is occupied with beliefs which are the opposite of Being, and which deny its presence. The ignorance of the world is due to idolatry, and idolatry consists in placing on form the estimate and worth that belongs alone to Being. Awaken, Oh, slumbering humanity, to thine own inheritance, Being, lay hold upon it, it is thine to use and to enjoy. Be passive in thought, and free from anxiety and fear, and look steadfastly into the Unity of Being, and thou wilt see that all that is, is divine, and more than human. “Be still and know that I am God.” - Malinda Cramer

In the silent sacturary of Being lies all the actuality and potentiality of Existence, the cradle of creation. In the interior sea of original Awareness is born all idea and thought of Spirit's imagining, which is according to its own kind, that of divine Perfection, Love and Wisdom. From this 'Beingness' of Omnipresence is Eternal Good, the outpicturing expression of Spirit's own inherent Nature. Brahma (Infinite, Absolute, Immortal Spirit) is the source and substance of the individualized Atman(living soul), so that in the Light of Self-realization, the Soul acknowledges...'I AM That'. All there is, is 'that'.

Love is its own liberty

2008-09-04T18:15:00.000-07:00

They who live consciously IN TRUTH and LIFE, know that they are free. They who understandingly live in the ETERNAL, NOW, know that they are free. They who live in this PERFECT IDEA, understand the perfect, and are free. There is no realization but the freedom of UNCHANGING TRUTH.“Know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you free.” -Malinda Cramer

Our true life is in Spirit, our divine ground and source. As we abide in Spirit, the Light of God...there in this realm of essential being...is freedom. How does Truth make us free? - it does so by liberating from all falsehood or illusion, and opens us to the already existing eternity of NOW, wherein is Omnipresent Good, light, love, perfection, wholeness. This is the fundamental of where we begin and where we end, for in Omnipresence...there is only God...the eternity of LOVE.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. - 1 John 4:12-16

The Primacy of Existence

2008-08-16T00:45:00.000-07:00

One approach in accessing 'God' is in our understanding of what 'God' is, however we define the 'term'. For instance on a deeper metaphysical Plane, I view 'God' as the very Source of all that exists, the Ground of Being, the substrate and upholder of all creation, the One Supreme Intelligence, the Mind-Matrix of all realities, a Universal Spirit. In this ontological domain, God's Existence is Self-evident as BEING itSelf. - the Infinite 'I AM.' This indicates the Reality of the primacy of Existence. This Reality is Absolute.

Traditionally, in many of our religious schools and theologies, 'God' is the One Supreme Absolute. Could one logically doubt Existence? or even his own existence? Absolute Reality is Inviolable, utter, ever-being, always at hand, ever-present. We may dream or conceive 'images' of God, concepts of 'Deity'...but it is from the depths of Existence Itself that the conceptions are born. The Truth of Existence ever remains. God is the Seat of Existence, the space in which consciousness arises.

In the Beauty

2008-08-10T22:26:00.000-07:00

Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. -psalm 29:2

Truly as we evoke the sacred heard of David and enter into the spheres of worship,....there, in the Radiance of the Messiah, is the 'hadarah'(beauty) of Holiness. This is such a wonderful 'phrase' to meditate upon, for in it we have the very description of God's countenance, describing the nature and quality of His Deity.

'Beauty' is one of the primal qualities of Divinity, along with Truth and Goodness. Even when we hold the idea-concept and spirtual light of 'Beauty' before us,...we behold the glory of God's Essence shining thru His chosen tabernacles, those temples of His Presence, which bear his image.

Worship (worth-ship) itself, exudes forth from the illumined spirit of man and his inner candle is lit aflame by God Most High. In the 'hadarah' is the intrinsic Harmony of Life, manifesting thru the light and logos of Spirit, as it pervades Creation, and indwells those hearts open to the Love-current. 'Holiness' is that realm of sacredness, so exsquisitely divine, unlike anything else, that dimension of 'divine fellowship and celestial awe' that is 'other-worldly'. The worshipper is truly 'set apart' for the Lord's service, and its anointing, in whatever area his calling.

'Holiness' also entails the integrity of being 'Whole', 'One', 'True', 'all-together', 'complete'. There is a uni-tegrity and divine Power in the Holy Sphere of Deity that is Absolute. Holiness draws the anointed into that eternal State of 'wholeness', which is the sons native dwelling, the spring of his power.

Only in the heart of the Beloved(David)...can the glory of the Messiah spring forth as worth-ship, in the beauty of holiness, for we center our heart's devotion in the Lord who is One, and His Messiah, the Morning-Star. Only true worshippers of the One Eternal Father, obtain the 'morning-star' in their overcoming of all that hinders their victory of faith.

In the Beauty, one is captured - the true value of LIFE is discovered in the Living Presence. There, the worth of Being itself is glorified in the Spirit-glory of the Lord's Christ, manifesting in one's own soul.

"That which is of enduring value, lives forever"

As we live our lives, from season to season, life to life...we keep forever those treasures of soul of eternity-value and divine meaning.

Light to All

Marrying East and West

2008-08-01T11:02:00.000-07:00

Blessings,

Its been some time since sharing here, but we shall update you on our recent adventures. Current explorations have been in the ancient Eastern scriptures and philosophies (the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, etc.), Krishna, the historical and legendary supports for Jesus travels in India, Egypt, Persia and abroad in his teen years and 20's, the Aquarian gospel, correlating these back with the Essenes. The value of synthesizing East and West is culminating into a beautiful Whole, as we marry Heart and Mind in a practical religious Path honoring spirituality, philosophy and science.

Oracle for the day -

"Love is the potentializing force, or centralizing power awakening within the heart...the innate and accelerating Radiance of Life itSelf, the shimmering Light of the Infinite in the finite soul, empowering the being to unfold and express its divinity of will, with the Higher Forces of the cosmic energy, of the OverSoul of the Supreme."

Swami Nirmalananda Giri has a wonderful website centered in OM Yoga, taking the spiritual truths of Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism as One.

Spiritual Writings

expanding space

2008-07-04T11:03:00.000-07:00

Greetings all,

Its been awhile since I've posted, - currently have been doing lots of writing-dialogues on TOL (my name on almost all discussion forums is 'freelight'), on many subjects,...mostly dealing with space-exploration, religion and science relationships, immortality, doctrines of 'hell', destiny-potentials of souls, non-duality, consciousness and other fun and fascinating topics. Just going with the flow,...as this has always been the Way of Life for me,.....Life is momentum. All love, light and joy on your journey!

time capsules in eternity

2008-06-10T11:27:00.000-07:00

Dear friends,

The journey continues, as Life ever unfolds within the movement of time, in the cycles of eternity. Currently I've veered away from the non-dual, 'God is All' view(pantheistic metaphysics)...to the more relative, progressive, process-oriented system of things (panentheistic), where we as children of time press forward towards a greater universe-destiny, as such is described in the Urantia Papers, the Fifth Epochal Revelation revealed to this world by a group of higher celestial beings and overseers of this local universe. Such a wonderful and vast record gives us a glimpse of eternity as unfolding thru time of the greater prospect of Life's glorious goal and ultimatum in Infinity.

The wonder of 'Being' itself remains, in all its dimensions both temporal and eternal, as all life stretches out towards potentials that seem near infinite. I recommend for intellectual and spiritual stimulation synthesizing science, philosophy and religion, the Urantia Papers as a wonderful primer to augment and inspire the human spirit towards the higher ideals of truth, goodness and beauty. Let us go forward in the divine Will and keep our eternal optimism high, for the greater plans of time and eternity are ever-present in the Universe circuits, reflecting forever within the space-domains of the Infinite Spirit.

Will

2008-06-03T11:28:00.000-07:00

God is the only stationary, self-contained, and changeless being in the whole universe of universes, having no outside, no beyond, no past, and no future. God is purposive energy (creative spirit) and absolute will, and these are self-existent and universal.

Since God is self-existent, he is absolutely independent. The very identity of God is inimical to change. "I, the Lord, change not." God is immutable; but not until you achieve Paradise status can you even begin to understand how God can pass from simplicity to complexity, from identity to variation, from quiescence to motion, from infinity to finitude, from the divine to the human, and from unity to duality and triunity. And God can thus modify the manifestations of his absoluteness because divine immutability does not imply immobility; God has will--he is will.

God is the being of absolute self-determination; there are no limits to his universe reactions save those which are self-imposed, and his freewill acts are conditioned only by those divine qualities and perfect attributes which inherently characterize his eternal nature. Therefore is God related to the universe as the being of final goodness plus a free will of creative infinity.

The Father-Absolute is the creator of the central and perfect universe and the Father of all other Creators. Personality, goodness, and numerous other characteristics, God shares with man and other beings, but infinity of will is his alone. God is limited in his creative acts only by the sentiments of his eternal nature and by the dictates of his infinite wisdom.

-Urantia Paper 4:4

* The mystery of Life includes the unchanging nature of the Deity-Creator and the ever-changing currents of space/time creation within the One Infinity which reveal the latent will of Spirit which is itself creative, purposive, active, generative and expanding. From within the Mind and Heart of the Infinite is all potential and actuality comprising the entire spectrum of all conditions of Existence and their ultimate destinies.

The Holy sound-current of Spirit

2008-05-25T11:43:00.000-07:00

Just recently enjoyed a wonderful concert with Snatam Kaur and GuruGanesha Singh, with sacred music/songs and chant. It was great to come together in the Holy Naam (Name or sound-current)...the primal vibration underlying all creation, the very Sound thru which the divine births and orders all worlds in His/Her vast Universe. Spirit-Voyage music hosts and makes available all these wonderful musical offerings for the peace and unity of our planet and her peoples. Let's make this a better world for all, as we each do our part to be peace and light. Namaste. - Spirit-voyage Music

pathways to Paradise

2008-05-20T08:45:00.000-07:00

Current journey routes include synthesizing all previous learning into a universality of Integral Wisdom, leaning towards a cosmic integration...tempered with the nuance of present-time, within a template of creativity, versatility and innovation. Art, science, philosophy, the humanities, high culture and theology will always be a vital part of the impetus of progressive religious values and ascension of the human spirit. The heart of true knowledge inspiring Man forward in his cosmic quest is the fundamental fire of his encouraging Love towards discovery of truth, goodness and beauty.

Recent meditations include ventures in the Urantia Papers, Process Philosophy, New Thought, Divine Science, space/time dimensions, Dialectical Monism (duality/Unity co-existence), A Cource in Miracles, Relational theology, review of all past knowledge filtered thru the present-time Light of Spirit, converting potentials into actuals in the progressive revelation and co-creation of realities as they take new forms.

The inherent gift of Life is the bestowal of grace, abounding goodness and Joy despite the hurdles and challenges of space and time in the journey forward to attain the higher harmonies of Paradise.

Creative Will

2008-05-19T10:55:00.000-07:00

"God, as the First Source and Center, is primal in relation to total reality - unqualifiedly. The First Source and Center is infinite as well as eternal and is therefore limited or conditioned only by volition". - Urantia Papers, Foreword.

At the heart of Existence beats the primal Heart of Life whose Infinite Intelligence bears the totality of Life and all its forms. The divine Will of Spirit pervades and upholds every universe and eco-system with purpose of Self-expression, relationship and community within time and eternity, ever evolving, perfecting and extending itSelf in greater experience-capacity of goodness, truth and beauty. Creation is born from Love's desire to express, reproduce, relate and experience its divine potentials in its infinity as well as all finite levels of existence thru-out the cosmos. As we align to the Will of the Father within us, we are in at-one-ment with Love, in harmony with Life. We magnify the Will of God and so within its frequency enjoy the bounty of the Spirit.

peaceful harbor

2008-05-16T10:16:00.000-07:00

Before us is a calm bay of reflecting light and gentle love, whose ambience is most wonderful, warming the heart, cheering the spirit as lilting butterflies on a bright spring day. Each moment gifts us with new possibilities, insights, dimensions, expansions. There is ever the unchanging essence of 'being' itself and the 'continuous creation' of 'be-coming' as each potential actualizes in our experience. We enjoy the process of Life as an on-going journey of consciousness.

sacred space

2008-05-10T09:41:00.000-07:00

Today, I bless this space
I allow divine potential to unfold
I am reservoir and river
I am sacred space

I rest in the space behind space
Pure Being
From the Heart of Love
I allow creation

All that matters

2008-05-04T13:33:00.000-07:00

Spirit inspired the question, "What is all that matters?"

Answer: All that matters is what IS. From what IS, comes all that shall ever be and be-come in the unfolding of its own inherent Nature. Life left to itself in its harmony and divine Will unfolds in its own order, beauty and grace. What is most essential is the Essence of Life Itself, Being. At the heart of Reality is the Original substance. The fundamental of this substance is Life, Consciousness, Love....expressing itself as Light within the many facets of Creation, the Radiance of the Entire Cosmos. Only the All matters. Only what IS always at the heart-center of Living Awareness flowing by its own continuum is mattering in space and time. Drawing from the divine Mystery and knowledge of this Center is our Only Resource, salvation, light, wisdom and guidance holding us in balance, leading us forward to greater progress, harmony, new discoveries and celestial heights.

So ask your Self, "What really matters?" What is at the heart of my existence and my place in the world? My place in the cosmic scheme of things? Only your Self knows,...for in the center of the Self is the light of all-knowing, the same Mind that upholds and carries the Universe in its rhythms. The Heart of Life has its very frequency in you and as you! Only let that Life do as it wills, co-creating with the Universal...unfolding divine potential, awakening to a greater Vision of the Whole, advancing the cause of Good everywhere. This empowerment and Joy is your calling, your DELIGHT.

Interior Prayer

2008-05-04T13:25:00.000-07:00

"My prayers are communions, not conversations" - Walter Russell

This statement has profound insight into a deeper form of prayer within the Soul, reflecting the Light of communion with God on the inner levels of Being.

Vigilance

2008-05-03T15:38:00.000-07:00

"To teach the whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its wholeness, and have learned that it is one. Now you must be vigilant to hold its oneness in your mind because, if you let doubt enter, you will lose awareness of its wholeness and will be unable to teach it. The wholeness of the Kingdom does not depend on your perception, but your awareness of its wholeness does. It is only your awareness that needs protection, since being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts about being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are with certainty. Certainty is of God for you. Vigilance is not necessary for truth, but it is necessary against illusions.

Truth is without illusions and therefore within the Kingdom. Everything outside the Kingdom is illusion. When you threw truth away you saw yourself as if you were without it. By making another kingdom that you valued, you did not keep only the Kingdom of God in your mind, and thus placed part of your mind outside it. What you made has imprisoned your will, and given you a sick mind that must be healed. Your vigilance against this sickness is the way to heal it. Once your mind is healed it radiates health, and thereby teaches healing. This establishes you as a teacher who teaches like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as of you, and those who choose to teach the same thing must be in agreement about what they believe. "

-ACIM, Be vigilant only for God and His kingdom, ch. 6

Our vigilence of mind must always be upon the true nature of our 'being', as one with God and the glory of his kingdom which is ever-eternal. Truth is inviolate, indivisible, unconquerable, of the substance of divinity, immortal. Only our awareness is called unto vigilance to abide in the Truth that IS, the kingdom of Light. By identifying only with 'God' and his Being, we hold our own truth in the Light, the wholeness of Sonship and are in 'conscious union' with the Father, illumined by the Spirit. It is ours to discern and hear the Voice of the Holy Spirit, being watchful to abide in our Christhood - it is then in such holiness of being...that we are empowered to teach what we are, for then what we are is most Radiant(to us and all) as the true creation (Son) of God.

All motion arises within the One Stillness

2008-05-01T18:42:00.000-07:00

"Motion is an essential part of creation, for the river of life flows on forever. Yet, the heart of man was also born in stillness, knowing itself as I Am. You are encompassed by unity and yet the motions of thought and life move through you. All of these are equally part of you. As you learn this, you will turn from your search for external causes, and look more directly for the Source. You will find that time is not your enemy, but merely a servant of motion over which you will gain mastery. In this, you will find your greatest freedom -- to be in past, present, and future with equal grace and perfect integrity, and with endless opportunities for growth and expression."

The Keys of Jeshua, p.334

In the Still Light of Mind are the varying reflections of life-activity, arising within the One Awareness,....the space-time movements within Eternity. As we abide as the Eternal 'I Am', and Universal Mind of the Infinite....we are centered in our divine integrity and behold all creation as the magnificent body and expression of the One Life. We maintain our power, presence, poise, balance and joy abiding in the Heart and as the Heart. We are forever grounded in the core-reality, at rest but also in movement as all converges into the One Light. Being this Light, we are the 'I Am' individualized.....individually realizing the Universal.

The Healing Principle

2008-04-30T13:32:00.000-07:00

The healing principle is within man himself. Man's power to heal himself, or extend his healing power to others is measured by his awareness of God in him. Man is an extension of God. God is Light. God is Mind. God is Creator of his electric universe of light-waves which is His body. God is absolute master of His electric body. He controls the movements of His starry firmament and keeps all parts of it in absolute balance.

Man is Light to the extent that he knows he is Light. He is Mind to the extent that he knows he is Mind. He is God, and has God-power, to the extend that he knows God in him.

-Walter Russell, Divine ILIAD, vol. 2

Let us awaken to our inheritance of Light and Love, our source and origin. With-in the Light of Consciousness awakens the pure will of divinity to inspire, create, form and express its imaginings. This logos of Mind works with Spirit to energize space/matter into creative form, idealized creation fulfilling itSelf thru infinite variation. As we open our beings to radiate the logos of Spirit...we co-create with God and are partners in expanding creation and the evolution of mind and spirit.

"For Behold I am within all things, centering them; and I am without all things, controlling them"

-Divine ILIAD

Truth behind all conditions

2008-04-27T10:10:00.000-07:00

"Real God is Truth, or That Which, when perfectly "known" (or fully Realized), sets you entirely Free."

"Real God is Consciousness (Itself). Consciousness (Itself), or the Perfectly Subjective Source (and non-seperative Self Condition) of the apparent conditional world and the apparent conditional self, Is the only Real God. "

"When everything is Realized to be Consciousness (Itself), There is Only Consciousness (Itself).

-Eleutherious, Adi Da Samraj

As we contemplate what 'Truth' is,...when must begin with what is always already Absolute, Eternal, Infinite, ever-Radiant. We consider the Reality behind all existence (unconditioned & conditioned) and the substance of Awareness or Intelligence that pervades this Existence which we identify as 'Consciousness'. Life is apparent and realized only thru the conscious being of its own existence, this being One Universal Sentience. Since the One Real God is before, behind and beyond all temporal or human conditioning, it is utterly and entirely free from the bondages and limitations of conditional existence, although such conditions are arising within the Field of Awareness seeming to modify or condition Life, yet the One Absolute 'Real God' is unconditioned in its original, eternal Essence and Being.

The unconditional retains its Changeless substancial Nature, which is Infinite Being, Consciousness and Life. (there is a relational-perception within the contrast of the changing and the unchanging. The essence of Truth(God) is unchanging in Principle, law, essence....yet ever-present as the Sole substratum or Condition of all conditions in Truth, even within the seemingly eternal rounds of space-time creation, movement, and temporal conditionings. We could say the Unchanging and the changing are both aspects of Mind, since the substance is eternal while its forms undergo transformations).

Relative conditions only appear to super-impose themselves upon the space of Universal Being as a temporal 'play' and seem to suffer from such limitations, mortality and dis-ease. These impositions/distortions only impinge on and bind the ego-self in the sense world of duality(seperation), while the native State of Unconditional Being is always FREE. Our endeavor then is to recognize the State that is always Free and abide in it, seeing thru the appearances of relative existence, transcending such in the Light of Consciousness, baptizing all in the Radiance of Spirit. 'Truth' then is that which is always eternally free, the potentialized State of all-Presence and Power, the status of Original Being, the all-Supreme, the Infinite, the One Source and Principle.

In the process of spiritual unfoldment or evolution, Man is awakening to the Truth of his Being thru recognition of his native State and potential, allowing Christ-consciousness to arise so he may be and be-come all that his constitution entails and heart desires in Truth to the glory of God. Truth is the Only Liberty of divine principle able to free, inspire, empower and emancipate Man.

Mind, the universal medium

2008-04-26T11:01:00.000-07:00

"The theory that Mind can stand outside of the Universe as its Maker or Creator must be dropped for the fact that 'Mind is the source and condition of all existence'. Mind = Universe."

-All is One, - Margaret Laird

"The only I is Mind, God, the Substance of all ideas. Everything belongs to God, Consciousness. Nothing is material - all is Spirit only. Everything great or small in the universe is a conception, manifestation, idea desirable to Mind that Mind has formed for Itself, of Itself, within Itself."

-That Which Is, - Alfred Aiken

In Divine Science we begin with Infinite Intelligence, the One Mind wherein all creation in-forms and is forever sustained by ItSelf, according to the patterns, images born out of its own Substance. Everything conceived from within Mind is imaged and patterned after the inherent nature and form of Spirit's own conception, its vision of eternal Good unfolding in 'continuous creation'.

Law of expression

2008-04-24T12:22:00.000-07:00

When we consider the laws of creation and reproduction we see the 'law of expression' at work, as out of the Creator-Mind is formed its ideas and Self-expressions, these images and forms being made of the same substance and mind of the Infinite One, the Universal Soul which is Perfect Health, Harmony, Light, Love, Truth, Life and Spirit. Out of the Universal, is the individual expression of itSelf manifested as the soul-body of Man, whose nature and substance is that One Source of Being which is All-Being, the Omnipresence of Spirit.

As we behold our true nature and substance as born and created out of the One Original Perfection, and maintain our consciousness in tune with Omnipresence, our being is harmonized in its natural existence in God, giving full liberty for perfect health and well-being of spirit, soul and body. When there are no obstructions or distortions of perception and only full faith and realized knowledge of the truth of one's being in divine Being,...then there is only the One Presence and Power in all radiance, being what it is Being,....as Absolute.

Meditation -

I am one with Perfect Life, perfect Love, perfect Substance, the One Infinite Existence that I AM. I yield my thoughts and feelings into the consciousness of Omnipresence, my source and root of being, my life, strength and joy. I am perfectly poised in the Eternal Spirit whose Heart and Soul is divine Perfection. I accept and radiate the light of Pure Spirit in its perfect expresssion here, now....according to its divine nature. I give thanks now for eternal Life, everlasting wholeness and infinite Love, being all that I Am and only this. I Am eternal Life individually expressing itself in the continuum of eternity. This is my Life and my Joy.

The Christ-Mind

2008-04-16T14:36:00.000-07:00

Recent journeys in DS Bible lessons, Science of Mind readings and Jewish-Christian histories are blending into a wonderful panorama of fresh insights and new perspectives. Life has an amazing ability to open up new venues each day, and more is given to us as we open heart and soul to become more receptive to Light. As we continue our studies we expand consciousness and open more and more to the One God-Presence in all, and thru all.....tuning our frequencies to the glory of the Christ which in us is the seed of divinity, forever blossoming to unfold divine potential.

"the lamp of the body is the eye (the spectrum of vision). Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. " - Luke: 11:34

The 'unreality' of evil

2008-04-09T20:02:00.000-07:00

Hello all,

Studies in Divine Science are moving along nicely and the creative outflow of logos continues to grow and expand. I will be combing thru older commentaries and dialogues from previous discussion venues and sharing them here from time to time.

A fellow forum-member wrote:

"Evil does not exist. People who do evil acts do exist"

I responded:

Indeed, Where God, the Infinite Source and substance of All-good IS,...no evil can exist. God is One. There is One Infinity of Good. Omipresence pervades the Totality of Being. In the light of understanding the nature of God, then we have to account for the 'appearance' of evil, and see that such exists as 'error', 'unreality', the antithesis of good, 'negation', a privation of God. It is without substance or power. It is apart from the original creation of God, therefore is naught. Only in the realm of duality (the reflective world of perception)...does good and evil appear to be contending forces competing with one another, yet the Truth is that there is only the Omnipresence of Good (Spirit).

Distortion of reality(sin) therefore must exist in mortal mind, imperfect vision, darkness, ignorance, humanity, time. Divine Reality, the Eternal Good exists in Immortality, Infinity, Perfection, True Light, Real Knowledge, Divinity. Pure Existence or God is ever Being, including and transcending all space and time, as One (Omnipresence). The Triumph of eternal Life therefore can only be in Life or God itself, the Spirit or Living Mind...the Soul that is divine (the Only One that IS). We may use various 'metaphors' or 'terms' for 'God', yet they all point to that which is Eternal, Infinite, Indivisible, Immortal, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient.

From the divine Source of Existence creation came forth as the perfect-expression of the Creator MIND...and such was defined by divinity itSelf as good, and in the creation of Man as 'very good'. - Man being the perfect image and likeness of God HimSelf....the I AM (the 'knowing' of Self-existence, Mind, Consciousness). Before any supposed 'fall' or 'distortion' of Truth,...there is always only all good, the consciousness of Unity and Life. Only when Man fell into 'duality-perception' (the minding of both good AND evil) was his vision distorted and the corruption of the immaculate conception of God began....sin, death, seperation from God, misperception.

Evil(error) is overcome by Good(Truth)...for in asserting the Omnipresence of Good is accepting the substance of that which Alone is Real...the One True Existence which Alone is Supreme.

Self Knowledge

2008-03-27T14:14:00.000-07:00

"What does this Self know, feel, perceive? What does this Self understand concerning itself as Infinite, The Sole One, the All of all? What does this Self, this Identity identify as Reality, Actuality, Truth? At what is this Self, this entire Consciousness right here looking, save at Itself? When God looks here, what does God see? Does God see a human, a mortal or a sinning you or me - another besides Himself present here - or is Omnipresence beholding the All-One only? Is there aught else for God to see, God being Infinite, All Awareness, the All-Inclusive One? The only I Am Identity anywhere is The-I-Am-God - The-God-I-Iam! Life, Existence is God. What is not God does not exist. Evil is a fraud without Life, God - without Existence or Presence."

-That Which Is, - Alfred Aiken

As we consider the Omnipresence of God, we hold to the Presence of Spirit being everywhere, the allness of Infinite Love, the fullness of Life, the abundance of Infinite Good...always Being. God is ever conscious of His own Presence, being All That IS. The One Truth of Existence is Self-actualizing as this, there being only this, here, now. There is Only the One I Am.

One God

2008-03-24T19:01:00.000-07:00

I am the Almighty God, and there is none else. - Isa. 45:22

In acknowledging but one God, I see the Truth of one Substance, one Intelligence, one Life, one Law, one Will, one Source, and one Power. I admit but one Presence, even the changeless good that God is. In all I look upon, I confess the One to be all of Truth. I decide everything from this standpoint, that God is All.

One represents the basis of all Truth in the universe. One Infinite, Limitless Law creates and governs all that is made visible. There is but one Law. I acknowledge one Source, one Substance, one Mind, one Life as all Intelligence and Power.

I see that this great Intelligence and Power is the governing force in the universe. All things great and small are being continuously held and kept by this Infinite Mind.

- Divine Science, its principle and practice - Cramer and James

Out of the Original Singularity of Being arises all Life, form and creation. One is All. All is One. Original and Infinite Good is Now being in totality, encompassing all, filling all. The Unity of Spirit is intrinsic holding eternal preeminence. All Life and Being is One. My strength and foundation is in the One Infinite.

Law of reflection

2008-03-21T19:12:00.000-07:00

Being is a law unto itself. The orderly and unchanging method by which Being expresses itself is its own law of expression. It is the knowledge of Being, alone, that enables one to demonstrate one's nature.

-Divine Science and Healing - Malinda Cramer

Latent within the body of Man is the divine idea, principle and law of Being. Man is the embodiment of divinity in form but not subject to form ever being limitless spirit expressing. The Supreme law of Existence is innate within Spirit, sustaining itSelf and expressing its own qualities, true to its constitution. Abiding in Truth is assurance of reflecting the divine glory and unfolding the latent qualities of Soul within, to the glory of the One Infinite.

Omnipotent Being

2008-03-21T18:56:00.000-07:00

Divine Science is the Truth of Infinite Being, and its application is the Christ Method of healing; it teaches that Being is all power, all knowledge, all presence everywhere all the time.

-Divine Science and Healing, -Malinda Cramer

Foundational to our very existence is the core essence of who we are, the substance of Spirit. This Being is unlimited, omni-potent, ever-latent and creative. Within the substance of our being is the nucleus of all potential. Our eternal power and vocation of joy is resonant in our individuality which is a perfect embodiment and expression of divinity. Our awakening to Truth is recognizing our true identity and living according to the laws of its divine nature.

Love lifts

2008-03-21T13:58:00.000-07:00

"Fear not, for you are the Beloved of God. You will not be set to fly and then be allowed to fall. Only the fictional self and the embellishments you have used to support it will perish. This is the only need that ever existed for death. Therefore, when you choose, of your own volition, to kill your fictional self, you have taken the first step toward the recovery of your conscious immortality. By the love and grace of God, you will then be led to your next step until your full and complete inheritance is recovered. For some people, the process will be complete within the twinkling of an eye, and for others a little more patience will be required. This is no different than the way some children arrive at adulthood overnight and other children take years. Such developments are not the result of preference, hierarchy, or status. Growth has its own curve which is unique for each individual."

Love Without End, Chapter 15, "The Beloved" -Glenda Green

Love ever nurtures the experiencing soul and guides it along its path of spiritual progress and wholeness of being. Love reminds the soul of its origin, strength and destiny. Always in the Light is the heart held eternally thru-out all its journeys in space and time. Love empowers us to hold to the eternal Vision, giving us wings to fly.

'spiritual dialoguing'

2008-03-20T16:00:00.000-07:00

Part of my ministry of sharing will include engaging in 'spiritual dialoguing' - this will be 'creative correspondence' with another thru conversation or writing on spiritual themes, ideas and principles with the intention of expanding consciousness and affirming the inner witness of the soul in spiritual unfoldment.

As one continues along the path of Self-discovery of their own divinity and connection with God, occasional 'spiritual sharings' of 'logos' (divine ideas, thoughts and concepts) will serve to keep the psyche receptive and fluid, allowing ones Path to be 'creative art' and open to innovation. Every endeavor of expression or language is latent with creativity and untapped potential to serve the soul's articulation of light and wisdom.

Experience

2008-03-08T12:36:00.000-08:00

The soul has its own path, which unfolds according to self-discovery as an experience in itself. Just as your ability to manage external events increases with practice, so too your understanding of yourself as 'The Experiencer' grows with confidence in being who you really are. Often the most difficult challenges of Being come to pass just before the dawn of enlightenment. The soul was born in perfection, and experience can neither add nor subtract from that truth. Therefore, experience, well managed, presents a stage upon which the light of your life may shine brightly."

-Keys of Yeshua

The stage of space/time creation allows the individual to expand/grow thru the medium of 'experience', the 'process' of spiritual unfoldment. Experience itself transpires within space/time relationships where the eternal and temporal aspects of existence merge upon the screen of creation providing a panorama of texture for souls to explore. The divine perfection or seed within the heart of one's being is allowed to bloom, outshine and envelop the temporal from of the soul as it awakens and allows the Spirit to lead...sanctifying even the matter-ial world in its Light. Therefore the true glory of the Soul and its eternal beauty remains preeminent, even thru the darkness and obscurity of conditional existence or 'mortality', for the immortality of the soul in its infinite potential retains an incorruptible nature. Thru 'experience', space allows Awareness to unfold, experience, explore and articulate the knowledge of the Universe in every dimension possible.

Beyond 'perception' into 'knowledge'

2008-03-07T21:56:00.000-08:00

As long as perception lasts prayer has a place. Since perception rests on lack, those who perceive have not totally accepted the Atonement and given themselves over to truth. Perception is based on a separated state, so that anyone who perceives at all needs healing. Communion, not prayer, is the natural state of those who know. God and His miracle are inseparable. How beautiful indeed are the Thoughts of God who live in His light! Your worth is beyond perception because it is beyond doubt. Do not perceive yourself in different lights. Know yourself in the One Light where the miracle that is you is perfectly clear.

-ACIM

While perceptions are limited to variations of degree and dimension....'knowledge' is total, one, complete. In the light of the Atonement is the perfect knowledge of ones true being in God, where there is no division, only the One Light of divinity. Herein is ones true worth-ship realized and glorified in the Sonship. One's awareness becomes pristine of the miracle that one IS. The ego-self whose existence springs from the perception of 'seperation' from Reality is surrendered and wholly transcended when one thru the medium of the miraculous is transfered from perception into knowledge. This knowing of Absolute Truth is the haven of Peace. It is being alive and conscious in the One Spirit, where there is Only Spirit. "for he who is joined to the Lord, is one spirit with him".

****

The Atonement

2008-03-07T21:44:00.000-08:00

Miracles are acts of love mediated by minds that have repaired the misperception of 'seperation' from God and have accepted their original wholeness and IDentity as God's pure and perfect creation. Perfect Love which abolishes fear is the Atonement.

***

Ontology

2008-03-04T17:36:00.000-08:00

Divine Science Statement of Being

God is all, both invisible and visible.

One Presence, One Mind, One Power is all.

This One that is all is perfect life, perfect love, and perfect substance.

Man is the individualized expression of God and is ever one

with this perfect life, perfect love, and perfect substance.

****

God is the Universal Substance of all potential and actual reality within the Ocean of Infinite Possibility.

Miracles

2008-03-04T11:23:00.000-08:00

The miracle is an expression of an inner awareness of Christ and the acceptance of his Atonement.-ACIM

The Christ-perfection within is our divine Sonship, our hope of glory, our true holiness of being. This is the divine creation of the Father within, the created perfection.

Miracles are part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness which, when completed, is the Atonement. Atonement works all the time and in all the dimensions of time. -ACIM

'Atonement' can also be seen as 'at-one-ment' with God in other teachings. The Course refers to 'atonement' as 'undoing', the undoing of all that is false/unreal/distorting...and the full awakening to ones original and real creation or 'Self' which is already 'perfect', lacking nothing. Miracles dawn in consciousness when Light awakens true knowledge of what is Real vs. what is unreal,...and the falsity is absolved in light. Miracle-mindedness keeps one open to the state of Spirit(grace) and time as it were is collapsed, - in the moment of realization there is only the holiness of being, the eternal state, the timeless purity of original innocence and Identity in God as His creation,...the recognition of Sonship.

Original Reality

2008-03-04T11:11:00.000-08:00

Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.
-ACIM

All that is Real is 'God'. The divine Reality cannot be threatened for it is inviolate, immutable, Invincible, Immortal, Enduring. Nothing 'unreal' exists as Real. 'Unreality' has no substance, foundation in Truth. It does not therefore 'exist' as Truth exists. Divine Reality pre-eminates as the Sole Truth.

Truth's originality and supremacy reigns over all that is not 'real' for what is 'unreal' does not exist in Truth. The Peace of God inherently and naturally lies or inheres in the Divine Fact that in God-Reality there is only the One Truth of God-BEING, and all appearances of 'unreality' are as nothing. In non-duality teaching, we give God Alone all Power, Presence and Glory.

Original Truth is what is fundamentally Absolute. One Presence, One Mind, One Power is All. In the Resonance of Pure Reality is all freedom, love, creativity and joy. Our substance of Being is our truth, our orignal glory, the Christ(anointed and illumined divinity).

Exploring scripture

2008-02-28T19:24:00.000-08:00

The Bible interpreted thru myth and metaphor

In our current studies thru Bible basics we are covering the place of 'allegory' and 'metaphor' within biblical stories, archetypes and pictures representing ideas, principles and concepts in a universal domain and spiritual application. In the history of the biblical drama we find examples within growing human cultures and individual experience that relates to our own social and personal evolution. The Bible therefore is not an outdated or 'dead' book, when we translate its images, symbols and signs thru psychic insight and spiritual illumination. The mythos of stories is a canvas with many colours painting for us a rich illustration of Life and the journey of the human spirit.

We begin with the Omnipresence of Mind, the One Consciousness that contains all, pervades all...and so translate all images, ideas, concepts thru its Light...giving us true information as revelation. It is thru Light that all translation and interpretation transpires, the whole drama of creation and every relationship within Infinity. Soul is the medium thru which we behold and experience Life in all its dimensions. The Soul of God and Man interface as One Reflective MIND. Myth and metaphor are therefore mediums of Mind and Spirit.

allegory: The representation of abstract ideas or principles by characters, figures, or events in narrative, dramatic, or pictorial form.

metaphor: A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison. One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol.

- American Heritage Dictionary

Wholeness at the Heart

2008-02-27T23:06:00.000-08:00

While healing to the mental scientist is brought about by exercising the power of mind over body; to the Divine Scientist health is the natural state of the individual and is only waiting for his realization of perfection as his divine heritage. Health always is universal, but we do not always realize it.

Mental healing does not differ so much from the old conception of healing the body by external means, for the mental power of one person is supposed to restore another to health. Spiritual healing is realization; it does not bring about anything but realizes what is already there.

-Nona Brooks

Divine Science rests wholly in the Truth of what is spiritually perfect already as the substantially realized Idea or substance of divinity... in essence and form. In Divine Science we hold the central Truth of Omnipresent Perfection manifest everywhere in all dimensions of true Being and its creation. We rest on the Absolute Foundation of divine Reality as It IS, and adjust mental attitudes in harmony with Spirit. Right thinking is coordination of mind with the principles of Spirit.

Universal Presence

2008-02-18T21:16:00.000-08:00

God is all; both visible and invisible.

As we meditate upon the Truth of Existence and its original Being, we derive from this inherent Reality that Spirit is the source, substance and mind that originates and brings into form-al existence, all that exists in the visible world derived from the divine Ideas born from the Mind of the Infinite. The substance of Spirit is ever original, eternal, infinite, all-pervading and all-encompassing. It is of One Infinity. All that is visible is born from the Invisible, its perfect source and substance so that all true creation of God is according to the perfect pattern and image of its divine idea. Therefore the soul and body of Man, being God's true creation...is as whole and perfect as God is whole and perfect. It is One with divine Reality.

There is only God and God in activity

Beginning with the Truth of Omnipresence all must arise from the Ocean of Infinite Spirit, where the Whole of the Cosmos is God and His divine activity manifesting thru various forms as creation. Infinite Intelligence through 'creative thinking' is bringing forth into form ideas, thoughts, images into visible expression so that all we see is 'God in action' everywhere. True creation is always the manifestation of perfect Good, wholeness and Harmony as these are the offspring of Spirit. All health and wealth of being originates and is forever sustained in the Omnipresent One. There is only Life and its expressions.

The Omnipresence of Spirit

2008-02-18T14:24:00.000-08:00

" The scientific statement of truth in Divine Science is to this effect--God and God manifest is all there is. God and man are one in Being. In universal Life, Love, Truth, Intelligence and Power, man is in eternal identity with Supreme Being. As an individual, man is the expression of Divine Being, its very image and likeness; therefore, manifests its nature in wholeness and perfection of soul and body. "

- Nona Brooks

As we draw our essence from its original Source, the Spring of our individual Existence....we have Pure Substance, the divine Ideal or Image of Deity. Since all creation is definitively Good being derived from the Creator who is All-Good by virtue of divine Nature and Character...Man embodies the divine Perfection in all potentiality as vested in Him via His Source. In Divine Science we uphold the Allness of God or Omnipresence of Spirit, so that the Source, Original Condition and destiny of Man in Truth is heralded in the light of its true nature.

In God Only is Life, Light, Truth. Walking in the Spirit is living in the radiant Awareness of our being's nativity and its potentializing power. We hold our consciousness in the Light of Spirit and are therefore in the realm of 'knowing'(gnosis) possessing thru such Vision the qualities and attributes of the Life that is eternal, with all its endowments and creativity. Therefore the consciousness of God(Life/Spirit) is primary...the medium of all experience.

Time

2008-01-16T19:06:00.000-08:00

****
Time is only the phenomena of movement within the Mind of the Infinite.

The unfolding of space/time creation is what 'appears' to transpire within the theater of MIND thru the inter-actions of space. Consciousness is the forever Unchanging Medium in which creation 'appears' to unfold. The Substance of Mind is eternal, Infinite...while the forms, ideas, concepts, images arising are appearing in the stream of 'time', but this is only the 'perceived effect' of relativity. The Infinite One is Self-existing as Eternity independent of space/time or 'anything' for that matter. Therefore God is ever existing within all time and eternity. What is Absolute retains eternal primacy by virtue of being Absolute. The Absolute is before, behind and beyond all relativity. There is no time in the Pure Essence of The Absolute. Only in the creative inter-actions of space does time 'appear' in relative associations.

I call the Infinite One the Great Indefinity. - all space/time definities are merely movements of perception within Consciousness.

Consciousness

2008-01-16T14:23:00.000-08:00

Consciousness is All. All what? All of all there is. There is nothing beside; nothing less or nothing beyond Consciousness. Consciouness is Infinite. Call Consciousness God, or call it Mind, Awareness, Principle, Soul, Substance, Life or by any name that means the Alone One, the Complete, the Totality of Existence, nay, Existence Itself in Its Entirety.

- From 'Now', Alfred Aiken

As we approach the subject of Truth we are confronted with the immediate sensation of what is Conscious Existence, the very space of Living Awareness where all light and knowledge exists. The very fact of 'conscious Being' is ever before us, and is the reality that we actually 'are'. From this inherent perspective of LIFE...Consciouness is all, being the very substance in which all creation is formed. All visible and invisible dimensions exist within the vast Domain of Consciousness,...all potentials and actuals...in all their totality. This presents to us the essential and most important science existing and that is 'theontology' (the science of divine Existence, the theology of 'being'). Knowing the truth of Existence is central to Life. From this base we can ground ourselves in the One Fundamental Truth of The Absolute. We shall explore the profound and utter Reality of what is Absolute,..the Unchanging, Immutable, Unqualified 'Self', the 'I AM'. The Primary Truth of Existence being the Seat of Consciousness is our study of utmost eternal importance.

Heart Blessings

2008-01-12T11:41:00.000-08:00

The Journey inwards is the journey upwards when united in the Heart's integrity. Our heart is centered in the Heart of Creation, for that Heart is the Creator-core. In the radiance and pure potential of the Higher Self conected to the sacred Heart...we are one with the Mighty I AM, resonating in the Holy Spirit vibration, mantled in the garments of the Christ...our anointing of Sonship, the garments that adorn, grace and beautify our souls countenance. With Creations song, we join in co-creating the Heart's desire in space and time, holding the divine Vision in its perfection. We go within, to merge with the Shekinah, then ascend into greater Light. We converege within and without with the pulse of creation, heralding the Christ-victory and expanding the kingdom of Love with every heart-beart. This sharing of creation is our Joy and calling. Let us now with open hearts...radiate our pure intentions to lift all souls into the sphere of holy willing, truth, integrity and surrender to divinity...as Spirit flows, drawing all hearts back to Original Love.

adventures in non duality (Advaita)

2008-01-09T15:00:00.000-08:00

'Advaita' means 'not two' or 'non-seperateness', and is sourced in the ancient hindu scriptural traditions concerning the non-duality of the One Supreme Deity, Brahma...who is Indivisible, One, All. It is commonly referred to in the west as non-duality and encompasses the basic teaching of the Oneness of Life and the non-dual nature of Consciousness, as the primary center of All That exists. We therefore intuit the nature of the One, the all-pervading as an Undifferentiated Whole. There is only this. Nothing else. All is One in this fullness of Existence. One Infinity. One Ocean of Reality wherein all the ripples or waves of space/time creation arise, into appearance and out of appearance. The One Ocean of Being and LIGHT ever remains,...no matter what arises within its screen of Awareness. The One remains Unchanging, Infinite, Eternal, Imperishable, Undifferentiated, Unqualified, Unconditional, Original, Supreme, Absolute, Ultimate. All that is changing, finite, perishable, mortal comes and goes within Unified Field of the One, the Master Matrix, the great Immensity. Space/time movements coincide with the revolutions of creation within the Infinite.

Exploring the non-dual Reality of Being centers us and keeps us integrated into the Great Mystery and profundity of our Existene within The HEART. We may look at the Heart as being the very core essence of LIFE, in its undimensional Infinity as well as including all that arises within it as finite creation and conditional existence. The One Eternal God Presence, I AM, forever remains...Unconditional, Unfettered, Unbound, FREE. Our abiding in the Free Realm of the Heart is key to our maintaining frequency with the Spirit, where there is complete liberty to be and be-come all that the Heart desires in Joy. That which is eternally BEING is always being, for such existence is beginningless and endless. Only That essential substance of light is eternal, as all else is subject to the play of relativity. The True Self-Existence of the Brahma/Atman retains eternal primacy. So surrender to the Heart of Reality (Truth) is the yielding all to the Eternal, Infinite, Indivisible, Undying LIFE that is forever free as LOVE.

Inner-mergence

2008-01-08T12:42:00.000-08:00

I am a channel of pure energy, mind and spirit. I radiate only love and light. All that I AM, and will BE is forever in the nucleus of my Spirit IDentity. Giving and sharing what I AM in all its beauty is my innermost JOY. Within is the eternal generation of the all-Mighty One, forever Be-ing and Be-coming. My intent is one with divine willing coursing with the momentum of divine Wisdom. Oscillating within my being is the full and unfettered glory of LIGHT, the quintessence of Creation. I call forth Now and forever the preeminence of the divine Will, the eternal Good, and Highest calling of every sentient being, lifting the entire creation into the holy sphere of creativity and Love. Secured in the holy trust of this Divine Love, I AM forever One in the Holy Perfection.

Heart's awakening

2008-01-06T16:28:00.001-08:00

A new day greets us filled with wonder and undiscovered potential. With creativity of soul we aspire to look to the most positive vision of abundance and Love, a haven of peace and plenty for ourselves and the whole world, for we are the world.

Self empowerment

2008-01-04T14:34:00.000-08:00

Today we interface within the multiple dimensions mirroring the light of spirit within the soul reflecting the Universe abroad. The Mystery of Life always keeps a subtle curiosity and gratitude alive as we grow in knowledge and allow understanding to unfold drawing the sweetness of wisdom ever closer. We are mirrors of consciousness, individualities of the Greater One Original LIGHT. May we draw from our original center the balancing harmony of the One....keeping the integrity of Love preeminent. We bless this day as another opportunity of experience and Joy!

returning to Source thru inspired musics

2008-01-03T14:11:00.000-08:00

Today I behold a procession of anointed harpists....weaving a divine symphony of ascending glory....converging beautiful melodies and inspiring crescendos lifting the spirit higher and heart towards its eternal Love. Let us today hold the divine logos within the heart,...and set it free in the Spirit of God to unveil and unleash its inner song of celestial beauty...the longing of the soul for its Beloved. With the music of the spheres, let us channel these healing melodies to permeate all hearts and immerse with earth with its calming and harmonizing peace. As ministers of the New Dawn let us rebuild the Tabernacle of David to the glory of the Christ.

New frontiers in 2008

2007-12-31T17:48:00.000-08:00

Opening the future now in the living present is our adventure in time and eternity for All is here, and Here is All. From our vantage point in time, we open to Eternity awakening from within all the inherent potentials of BEING. From this grand and glorious place of Existence we may unfurl our dreams and visions and send them forth as blessings - growing additions to an ever-expanding Universe. With this freedom of will and intent, there is no limit what we can launch, birth and incubate in the Mind of God. We know open our portals of mind and spirit and allow divine Willing to create. We center ourselves in the Heart, and there rest....in the resonation of the all-glorious LIGHT. In the center of the 'I AM' we have all power. There is only This. This is All there IS. We uphold this living flame of God-devotion and radiate it forth. We release blessings of peace and goodwill all thru-out our planet, to Mother Earth(Gaia/Terra) and her peoples. We seal this prayer in the light of the Christ-Mind and the divine Will. So let it BE.

All Love and Light, blessings and good will to all souls,
In the Mother LIGHT, Amen.

new additions

2007-12-31T15:30:00.000-08:00

Greetings all,

I am deciding to become more pro-active in my blog entries, and will have to allow Spirit to dictate the flow and manner of such sharings. We are verging on a new year - 2008. If we add these numbers together we have the completion of '10'. (the apex of both '1' and '0'). It ought to be a pivotal year, like a womb birthing us into a new decade in the cosmic spiral.

Recent UFO and ET studies have brought new insights into the whole domain of Life in the Universe including every dimension of Mind and Spirit, for truly as we look as the Cosmos as One Living Organism....we behold the Unity and wonder in all Life, honoring the hidden purpose and divine meaning behind the evolutions of Existence, and its creative play thru time and space.

Here is the New 'ET Teaching' discussion thread - http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44302

Heart-blessings!

divine Will

2006-12-01T20:44:00.000-08:00

"Let it be according to thy will"

It has been heard one pray - "IF it be according to thy Will" - can such a prayer be efficacious? and does it bespeak of 'doubt'? How much more sure and powerful would our prayer be if we wholly decree - "LET IT BE....according to thy Will".

While meditating upon this....it occurs to ones being that this is the most powerful statements of surrender ever spoken - it was Marys true heart-devotion and acceptance of the heavenly calling to say, 'Let it be according to thy word'.

When we say this with all our heart and soul...such is the power of conversion...in total surrender to the all-sustaining government of divine Providence. With this we also engage our own will-choice, a co-creative compliment or covenantal partnership with Life thus empowering us to utter the decree of 'Let it be'...activating our keys to the kingdom to loose(allow, permit, release) the full provision of wisdom - the power of the logos intimated in the human heart to release the will-mandate and creation of the Spirit in the earth-realm.

In light of universal salvation....we presume that all souls ultimately surrender and utter the 'let it be according to thy will' prayer and experience the conversion thus advancing them Godward towards more love and light. Since divine Will undergirds the very fabric of existence and upholds all creation... those who continue in co-operation with Love endure forever and have eternal Life. This is the divine Will continuum.

Let us meditate now as an inward prayer,

"Let it be according to thy will, O Lord"

As we contemplate this decree of surrender to Love....let us offer it in the care of not only our personal sphere of life and influence but all families, nations and cultures of our world, extending to the planetary and cosmic. Let this mighty prayer resound with all power and vibrancy in all hearts as we see the coming of the New Day...the Golden Age.

Let it Be.

Amen

The "I" of the I AM

2006-11-19T02:44:00.000-08:00

This days invocation from the I AM that I AM -

"I BRING all... into the infinite sphere of my Light and Love." *

In our meditation for today.....I came to remembrance of the Might of "I AM" and the Eternal "I" which is the seat of Being and Consciousness. This "I-Self" is the Center of All and from this center...the creative power of Will or intent is ever potentialized .....only waiting for the creative release of the Hearts will thru desire .... expressing in mind and voice into actuality. What the "I" wills....the "I" brings into Being. This is the seat of God-Power and the exercise of divine willing in which the I-Self affords its Joy.

This meditation therefore calls into being the invocative power of the One I AM.... evoking all of Life into the immersion of God-Light. It holds the whole of creation within the divine Will maximizing Love in all dimensions. We have this power and privilege to be the vehicle of 'God' in creative action as we call/awaken the Mighty "I" within our Being and so magnify the divine Name(IDentity and Presence).

"I Bring all,

into the infinite Sphere......

of My Light and Love." *

* the mantra ought be slowly resounded and its truth and invocation resonate within the God-Presence Awareness...for it is Gods bringing or drawing of all into its all-pervading Embrace.....to effect the compelete Realization into the Perfection of Love. After the I-Self receives the affirmation-sealing of this actualizing ....then let the natural thanksgiving and gratitude for this prayer being fulfilled resonate within and without. It is so. We give thanks.

In these I AM meditations....we allow the "I-Self" within....the God-MIND....to have all preeminence. He is the Sole MIND functioning. We allow God to be the Light and Love....drawing all into His Infinite Sphere (this is the core-drawing of all into the All that is the essence of universal salvation). We allow God to Be and Be-come All that He envisions in all realms. (this is the dynamic of eternal generations; on-going creation). God Alone is the Universal Sovereign. This Supreme Universality of God infills the Whole of Creation within Infinite Love immersing all that exists in God-Perfection....furthermore generating more and more glorious forms within the Infinite All.

I AM Be-ing

I AM Be-coming

The One LIFE reigns Omnipotent and I AM that LIFE, that Love, that Light.

The Name (YHWH) divine

2006-10-25T02:02:00.000-07:00

' To the One God,
whose Name forever reigns '

* Here we have the divine Name (YHWH) in hebrew letters speaking of the ' I AM' and the 'I Will Be' aspects of the Living One. The divine Name(s) of God serve as ID's as they denote the character/essence of Deity. As we worship and honor the Creator and Father.....let us exalt his Name within our consciousness to so lift Him up keeping his Name forever glorified. We are carries and representatives of His Name,..... I AM/I Will Be....for our 'being' springs from His Original Being. Our true IDentity is sourced in the Living One.

I AM ever Be-ing and Be-coming.

There is only God Be-ing and Be-coming.

divine Will mantra..............

2006-10-25T00:58:00.000-07:00

"O Mighty Will divine, shine in this heart of mine"

As we offer up this prayer-mantra,....let us consider that our own souls will in its original and true state of being is one with Gods own supreme Will. This Will is the motive-power and intentive that sponsors every living thing to carry out its purpose for being and inspiring it to transcend itself...to even greater expressions of creativity and joy. As we invoke the sacred Love within the heart....let us as a mini-meditation inflect this prayer within and allow it to bear its own fruit to the glory of God.

Invocation to the Sun as the Solar Logos

2006-10-09T00:13:00.001-07:00

"O glorious Sun,.....all Radiant One,
we give thanks to thy Living Light,
calling upon thy brilliance in the hour
of our knowing,

O Bright and Morning Star,
we invoke thy radiant Power
reviving heart and soul.

O Blazing Sun of the Living Rays,
we bless and glorify thee,
renewed in thy Presence
everlasting.

O glorious Sun,
giving Life,
we call upon thy Name
The Living Christ." *

---------------------------

What shall I render to the LORD
For all His benefits towards
me?
I will take up the cup of
salvation,
And call upon the name of
the LORD.

-Psalm 116:12,13

--------------------------------

* In this invocation we call unto the Sun as a manifestation of the Great Central Sun, the center of the radiant life giving power flowing from the Supreme Deity. In this prayer we hold the archetype of the Solar Logos (the living Word, Christ-Light) which shone and shines thru the Lord Jesus in his divine ministry in heaven and earth wherein is our regeneration. We invoke and call upon the 'name' (IDentity and nomination) of LIGHT as it is manifesting in all its various radiations from its most original Source into this planetary system...which our own Sun represents. We worship the Source, Essence, Being, Intelligence, Love, Light that upholds All Life....and to us reveals itself as the Mighty Sun/Son of God.
This brings our attention to the Solar aspects of Deity and its divine rays.

In some schools the Solar deity Helios and Vesta are called....the former being the masculine form and the latter feminine...as twin souls of the Sun.

"God is Light"

the encouraging of holy spirit

2006-10-03T19:59:00.000-07:00

Todays watch-word came as insights flowed on the Spirits ministry - the
Spirit is empowering us always,.....as the divine encourager. May we open
fully to the Holy Spirit to empower us afresh to walk in the glory of our
Sonship. May the Light of the Living One ever radiate as we rejoice in
the Victory of Love thru-out all creation....heralding the generation of
the Christ.

Let divine encouragement arise and be released in, thru and to the hearts
of all. Let us ascend unto the hill of Mount Zion and with davidic heart
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, as he restores the true
tabernacle of His glory in the earth thru his anointed ones.

Centering Power

2006-10-03T19:48:00.000-07:00

As I awaken to the center of my Power.......I am centering my being, my awareness, my aliveness, the glory of that aliveness and divine potential....ever in generation. I AM the center, circumference and pervading vastness of the divine One....infinitely expressing Joy.

Oh my glory
Oh my power...................

I AM centered in thee
the One,
the Only,
the Omni.

I AM.

It's in the 'Calling'

2006-09-27T01:53:00.014-07:00

"Whosever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved/delivered"

As we draw our attention to the IDentity of the Living One.......and invoke divine Presence....we open our beings to the Radiant Reality of divinity. As we make our call....and send it heavenward it awakens the heart and soul to embrace the immanent and transcendent Presence. We have the sacred privilege of summoning the Al-Mighty.....and in such summons...we enjoy salvation/deliverance/healing/liberation. This is the power of invocation.

Another aspect of our 'calling'....is our spiritual calling....which is birthed from the Logos of God....as a living word prophesied from the Living Divine. Our calling is carried on the winds of Holy Spirit....and is the call of God. This calling is awakened, summoned and brought to our remembrance as we call upon the name of the Lord which awakens in us our true IDentity. This understanding empowers our glorious vocation in the Light and inspires us to serve the Higher One.

It's in the 'calling'.

Your life-stream as a 'dispensation'

2006-09-27T01:30:00.000-07:00

As we enter into a meditation of being servants of the Lord......we come into the idea of each soul being a 'lifestream' - an emenation of the One Original Life,.......an expression of the Great Central Sun of divinity. We look at the great epochs thru-out history and see how divine Providence has orchestrated and inspired revivals of light and renewal in the earth and call these times 'dispensations'. In the generations of God there are infinite dispensations. These outpourings or ministrations are also represented as periods or times of divine activity or signficance.

As we reflect on our serving the One and being the divine image and likeness of Light.....we come to realize that we are dispensations of Love.
Our souls incarnation in this time has its own holy significance as our calling has been summoned and our appearing in this cycle within eternity bears special importance. Our dispensation NOW is the high and holy calling of our be-ing and be-coming in God.

As you open to be and be-come your God-potential......see yourself as a dispensation divine.

Seeing is everything

2006-09-16T13:39:00.000-07:00

"What the Light inspires.....the Light acquires".

This oracle came forth after realizing that what Spirit inspires into the soul in the form of questions/inquiries....serves to awaken one to 'see' that the answer is always within the Light that inspired the question. All is ever present within the One Light and Consciousness That exists as 'God'.

"You are that Light".

The service of Love

2006-09-16T13:14:00.000-07:00

During my morning walks is when much light and communion takes place as mind and body is invigorated...so this seems to inspire the spirit within as well...opening it to greater dimensions of Light...often in dialogue form...as the heart communes with the divine Heart.

Spirit often offers quest-ions and such questions by their own inquisitive power open up the portals of perception where the answer itself is found in the openening of Light. The Light within ones own being grants its own knowledge; the questions itself serving to open one to revelation.

As I began to review all thoughts and deeds...especially certain religious doctrines...the question came to me - "Does this or that serve Love?". This became the primary quintessential question at the heart of divine Law. Bringing all things in the light of this inquiry opens one to see the true value of anything.

This becomes the ultimatum of our serving and our discernment in determining the worth-ship of any thought, deed or doctrine. In this inquiry of the heart.....we awaken to the Law of Life itself and are illumined, refreshed, rejuvenated by its Light.

Immediate access

2006-09-14T14:58:00.000-07:00

Let us reflect the Light of our own Being in the mirror of our Soul. In the 'here' and 'now'.....is All. In this present moment is All That Is. Here, is everything......everything is here. Presence is ever Being.

Here,...........now,...........you have immediate access to divine Source, Light, Knowledge, Wisdom, Love.

Immerse youself into the wealth of Being that you are and draw its treasure.

Enjoy Life while it affords ItSelf

2006-09-13T21:59:00.000-07:00

As we contemplate Life in all its wonder and glory......we come to realize that it is always in our own 'being' and 'consciousness' that we experience Life as it unfolds....and thus is the only place/space wherein we touch/contact and have communion with the Greater One Reality. It is in this space of Living Awareness where we experience and come to know the Universal Mind which we call 'God'....as Infinite Love, Light, Truth, Spirit. Here in this soul-consciousness......is the sanctuary where all truth, wisdom and knowledge unfolds ItSelf in the One Light. As we open to and awaken to this Consciousness of God within.....we open the portals of the heart to the greater Love and Wisdom which reigns and sovereignly governs this planetary system and all worlds.

While we have conscious awareness as sentient beings.....there is always the opportunity and innate potential within to awaken to new dimensions of Light and attend to a Will greater than our little ego-will....the very Will which upholds all Existence and brought everything into being....including the individual life-stream that you are.

By calling upon the Name of 'God'....one invokes the very Presence or IDentity of God...whose Name is ' I AM' (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh). Invoking the divine Name awakens your soul to the Presence of God within your own being and brings with it All that God Is....accessing one into infinite abundance and provision. This 'I AM' Presence is the core-generation of all Life...being Life ItSelf. You can by calling upon the Name of the Lord....have the peace, power, deliverance, salvation, provision and victory of Life....because His Name or IDentity of BEING is brought into manifestation by your invoking...which opens your consciousness to His abiding Presence and Power.

Now you have all that the 'I AM' has.....as you and 'God' are One. One Life. One Love. One Truth. One Being. One Presence. One Glory. Whisper his name { I AM } and feel its truth within your heart.....then you will know by inner witness...that it is so.

While you now are living and consciously alive.......the Light, Love, Truth, Reality of 'God' pervades and upholds the very substance of your being....for you could not 'be' if divine Being did not include you in its Beingness. Because God Is....you are. Because you are.....reveals that God Is.

The One Self I AM ultimates as the One, the All, the Supreme.

In Lifes Radiance may you come to know your true Self.........your 'I AM' Presence and worship the Living One.

Opening to Light invocation

2006-09-12T18:37:00.000-07:00

"Awaken......O heart divine, awaken thy voice....awaken thy spirit....awaken thy soul. Come forth in thy original beauty, thine own Self. Enter...the sanctuary of thy Being. Alight and ignite....the God-flame....the holy fire, the christening-light."

Expanding the light of consciousness

2006-09-12T15:28:00.000-07:00

Greetings all,......

At this juncture of the spirtual journey.....the light of consciousness is cascading into a million different colours....as new dimensions of mind and spirit open revealing an open-ended Universe and an Infinite Intelligence which knows no bounds. Currently our attention is being placed on the 'Light' within our being...and following the inspiration/guidance within us which is our own God-Self or 'I AM' Presence. Joining the intimate union of God within.....we can come to know the divine Will and fulfill the law of our own being, for it is the Spirit within that is working its own intelligence....harmonizing itSelf with the Heart of Love which is the essence and wellspring our own true IDentity. As we open up to the Heart and Soul of 'God' and awaken to the 'I AM' Presence within us and all souls....we become more attuned to the frequency of Love and Light....and become ministers of the higher kingdom...allowing space for the manifestation of divinity and all the fruits thereof. With the awakening of our true Selves in the Light.....we bring forth the Perfection and Wisdom of the Universal One in natural radiance.

"Let our hearts awaken to the Christ-Heart....and thereby open the channels of the soul to be carries of Light....harbingers of Love."

"As we minister the healing Light....let us do so with extreme tenderness and exquisite compassion."

As my journey unfolds and greater expansions of Light integrate within the soul....the apparency of the Universality of Truth, Wisdom and Love becomes more evident and intrinsic to the very substance of All Existence....as the One Light of Being as the Eternal 'I AM' emenates Supreme. The true unfolding of every souls path in the One Light is ultimated within the effulgent Love of divinity which in the atomic-core of each heart satisfies ItSelf in its own pleasure...when thru loving expression and action it consummates itSelf in its own Perfection. As the Law of Love is fulfilled in BEING.....greater extensions of the One Life can be released.....expressing more Beauty. Hence the momentum and joy of eternal Life continues in infinite expression, worlds without end.
