Self Knowledge

"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

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

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

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

"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'

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

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'

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

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

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

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

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).
