The Deep Inside and Out: Seeking God's Back




We only know the Ineffable, "God," by Its actions. Of the substance of God, the "deep," we have barely a clue. I believe that we are actually part of the Most High's substance. We are Its consciousness emanated, and presently we are lifting human souls to be more like It. But there is precious little we can sense of the deep, the Most High's being, even within ourselves. Our senses are long on action and very short on existence.

Inhabiting humans seems to be little more than a carnival ride for the Eternal. It is a diversion. I guess it gets boring to just be, to just think, so the Ineffable has broken up eternity with some entertainment. It wanted form, yet It is only Its base self and Its experience of thinking. So, what form is It going to take? Maybe consciousness and experience? Hello. Welcome to the project.

What are we? We do not know. We are aware of imagining, of thinking and sensing things, but just where and what is the mind that is thinking and experiencing? We are spirit beings/consciousness riding in human beings and are totally involved in their thoughts and senses. That is how we got here. But what is our substance?

Okay, again, I get the collective spirit/consciousness of the E'had (Deuteronomy 6: 4, the collective One that is God's spirit, Elohim, "Over The Flames"); the flow of YHWH into existence (Jethro); the life-giving of the living branch (Joshua/Jesus); and our innermost being bearing Light, Life and Love into man . . . but the first "Thing," the home boy Ancient of Days who first experienced the movement of thinking and who is in us as us on this ride–I think he has gotten lost in all the attention we give to action. We know him as Creator, Deliverer, Savior, Healer, Revealer–all really neat things, but all totally "distant" and actions.

For example, we thank the Healer, but we only sense the healing. We think of the Healer as being without instead of being within, as if the healing was done by some kind of remote-control, magical transcendence. That that which healed us is within is beyond us–we do not sense Its presence: we do not see home boy back there.

It seems that all we can know of God is Its actions. I think. I hope to prove myself wrong. I have a philosophical line on "there is no separation," and I am trying to reel it in.

The “child” Wisdom in the Book of Proverbs chapter 8–he doesn't exist. He is the fantasy of the Father reveling in the discovery of his own nature. We also are just fantasies, fanciful thoughts of experiences, seat-takers on an amusement park ride–"ride the wild man"–agents for the Ineffable's biding the endlessness of eternity. We are farmed-out attention, the Ineffable's distraction, but integral to the Ineffable Itself.

And what a ride!!! Absolute genius.

In the seat on the ride is the Eternal. In all the playing, do not forget him. No, I don't know what to do about him either. I just heard him calling the other night, "Hey, what about me? Don't forget me." Actually, I just caught a glimpse. He is that dwelling behind all the actions we perceive, the doer of them. Can you see him back there? 

I have said that "'ehyeh 'asher 'ehyeh" (the "I AM THAT I AM" in Exodus 3: 14) is Moses' epiphany of his being God, that is, of God's being him. It was not a separate God saying to Moses, "I AM," but Moses himself. He realized that his own imagining had created and was creating his world, hence: "I become (the literal meaning of 'ehyeh) what by imagining I become." Because we are God, we become–because becoming is what God does. That is the deep in us. We are like little spigots, channels of spiritual power. 


In the creation of what we imagine, the deep of the Ineffable calls to the deep within us. This is Psalm 42: "Where is thy God?"–happy countenance or troubled, the doer of our world is Him. It is him when we imagine and it works, and if it works, then we have found him.

So, it may be both: God in us is the rider, “I AM”; and God as us is riding, “I become.” We are "Jethro-ing"–increasing man by manifesting his imagination.  

Steer your imagination. You must take control of your mind and direct it to the creating of what you want. I figure that the reason we can do this is so that we will learn to do it. The world allows whatever we think, be it good, bad or indifferent, so go for what you want.  

God spoke to Moses "face to face" (Exodus 33:11). We read that and think, hey, that is great, they stood there looking at each other, talking as friends. But Jewish mystics put a different spin on it–you can't speak face-to-face with God with an opposing face, because you would have to be separate from God to do it. No one can so see God and live. "Face-to-face" refers to the style of their individual communion in light of the corporate failure of Israel.

The mystics say that in Exodus 34 where Moses saw God's "back," Moses was aligned with God so that he was "face-to-face" from the backside, seeing through God's eyes and perceiving God's thoughts and perspective. He experienced being God. This was Moses’ individual communion with God (Moses had "removed the shoes from his feet," so to speak, to experience God directly).”

They say this was also the experience all Israel had at Sinai when God spoke to give them the Law. When God said, "I am . . . ," all the people had the experience of being God and seeing the Law from his perspective. It so frightened them that they fled. This was their corporate failure (they “put their shoes back on,” hence, a mechanical religion).

We are going to where our eyes see through God's eyes, our minds think God's thoughts, and our hands touch as God's hands. He shall be with us as he was with Moses in Exodus 34: 5-7. We shall walk barefoot in God, our perceptions totally synced with his perceptions, our perspective synced with his perspective. We shall have the same nature. We shall experience the Eternal, the No-Thing who flows into manifestation as YHWH, and perhaps so also the Most High's being, which we are.

The good news is that we do not have to wait long for this experience. The Joshua (Jesus) of the New Testament is the same Joshua who took Israel across the Jordan River into the Promised Land, Canaan, the perfect country. This is the same Jesus who became us and immerses in the Holy Spirit, which is our alignment with God’s rightness. We already have the same nature; we just have to purge the crap that is accumulated in the bowels of our humanity.

We are not presently aligned with God's rightness . . . but He can align us from within in a heartbeat, if we will hear his voice and repent of our independence and submit to his lordship. It is that close -- we just have to accept It and submit to It in our hearts. The deep is here to save us: "Whoever believes in me as the scriptures proclaim, 'Rivers of the living waters shall gush from his stomach'" (John 7: 38, Alexander). The Life of what we really are comes welling up from within, and joy, appreciation and gratitude swell in the heart.

This experience is a vision of the real composition of reality. And this vision breaks into sound as our connection with Original Mind brings forth a clear language not learned in this lifetime. The mouth appears to operate on its own with no input or control from oneself. This is the presence of David, who the totality of human experience had by the Father. David is present because he is with his father, you!

Millions and millions of people have partaken of this experience. Why tarry? Accept the lordship of the source of your life, Jesus Christ, the “deep” of God in you.
