It is a karmic law of in and out. . He knew you had to hand the message over before you really understood it or could appreciate it yourself.
A person will suffocate if she just keeps breathing in. The Jewish name for the Holy One, literally unspeakable, is “Yahweh,” an imitation of the sound of breathing in and breathing out. It could not be uttered, only breathed. The sacred name of God reveals the deepest pattern of all reality—the cycle of taking in and giving back out.
It is a lot of work to get out of the way and allow grace to fully operate and liberate. We must first fully own and admit that we have “defects of character,” but then equally step back and do nothing about it, as it were, until we are “entirely ready” to let God do the job! . . As others have put it, and it works well in English, to fully understand is always to stand under and let things have their way with you. It is strangely a giving up of control to receive a free gift and find a new kind of “control.
Self blame is . . ego identification, and as much an ego defense as blaming others. You cannot enter God’s presence if you attack His Son.
Please help me to see the essence of things rather than the perception’, because if you constantly ask to see it, eventually what is revealed to you, if you live through the experience, what’s eventually revealed is that All things are God, everything is God, all is God, there’s nothing but God, period.
To know the one thing: All is happening in and of its own by Divine Ordination…. In and of itself, because of the Infinite Power of the Field of Divinity, and for no other reason. That’s all you need to know. (Doc’s arm flings out) Was there a decider there who decided to do that? That’s a very hard illusion to break. The difference between being enlightened and not enlightened is merely to see that. To be radically honest means … to completely surrender that all things happen by Divine Providence, by the Will of God, and for no other reason.
I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with me.
You see that thinkingness itself is a vanity. It’s like a violation of the True Nature of God. It’s like, I negate God’s Godness, therefore I have to think myself. In other words, God’s not gonna reveal to me what I need to know, I gotta go out there and one up on God. You begin to see what the ego is up to is to supplant God, replace God. I don’t want Truth revealed to me, oh no, I’ll make up my own truth. There’s a lack of trust of God.
I think some kind of experience of God is necessary for mental and emotional health. You basically don’t belong in the universe until you are connected to its center, and one word for that center (and everything else by implication) is “God.” When you live in the false self you are “eccentric” or off center. You’re trying to make something—yourself—the Center that is not the center. It will never work in the long run, because it is not true. A part can never pretend to be the Whole.
(God is the same as Guru and Self.) A person begins with dissatisfaction. Not content with the world he seeks satisfaction of desires by prayers to God. His mind is purified; he longs more to know God than to satisfy his demands of the flesh. Then god’s Grace begins to manifest. God takes the form of a Guru and appears to the devotee, teaches him the Truth, and purifies his mind by his teachings and contact. The mind gains strength and is able to turn inwards.With meditation it is pulled yet further, and eventually remains still without the least ripple. That stillness is the Self. The guru is both exterior and interior. From the exterior he gives a push to the mind to turn inward; from the interior he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps the mind to achieve the quietness that is Grace.
You cannot put a barrier around yourself, because God placed none between Himself and you.
Everything that God Wills is not only possible but has already happened.
I who am host to God am worthy of Him. He who establishes his dwelling place in me created it as He would have it be. It is not needful that I make it ready for Him, but only that I do not interfere with His plan to restore me to my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal. I need add nothing to His plan.
The whole reality of our relationship with Him lies in our relationship with each other. The holy instant shines alike on all relationships, for in it they are one. For there is only healing, already complete and perfect. For here is God, and where he is, only the perfect and complete can be.
You will cross the bridge to Reality simply because you recognize that God is on the other side, and nothing at all is here.
