Ashur Imagining for Creating a New You

You are the consciousness who imagined being you in order to become you, and hey, it worked!!! The consciousness you really are animates your body, your presence here. You are not a body which has a spirit, you are the eternal spirit of God which, for the moment, has a body.

This sublimation of you, O God, becoming hidden in man, is described in Genesis 2: 7; Genesis 3 (especially verses 14 and 15); and Genesis 9: 25. Yes, there was no Devil in the Garden, just you becoming stupid by forgetting that you are God. You became immature, "evil," cursed, i.e., separated from the consciousness of being God. You became ignorant of being God, self-"ignoranced." You step on your own head, Christ, by doubting the Godship of your own consciousness . . . of you. This doubt is your adversary.

Yes, this is not your typical Sunday School lesson.

Thousands of years ago in Persia, the force of this ignorance, doubt and immaturity, was put on par with the goodness of God. I, for various reasons, believe that Mark, the author of the first Gospel, was an Indian Therapeut (i.e., a Buddhist missionary; see Christian Lindtner Theory, online) who was heavily influenced by the philosophies of other cultures and by this Persian perspective in particular. The power of evil to blind and deceive was probably stressed in his mind from dealing with the Jewish literalists he encountered in his promulgation of Buddhist philosophy. Reconciling the intent of Jewish scripture with Buddhism drew out the nature of literalism, hence, the introduction of evil spirits and demons in the Gospels.

Evil spirits and demons are real, but they are us. They leave as soon as we stop doubting and believe God, don't they?

I mention this to assuage fear of witchcraft and sorcery in reading the scriptures aright. Literalism is rife with demons and deception behind every "foreign" non-literalist idea, even though literalism is the foreign idea. Fear induced by literalist superstitions precludes the acceptance of truth. It does not have to be that way. Learn what the scriptures actually say and go with that.

The scriptures say that before the beginning, the unconditioned awareness of being (the Ineffable) conditioned itself by imagining itself to be something. Then the unconditioned awareness of being became that condition it imagined itself to be. This was creation (see Neville Goddard, Your Faith is your Fortune, pg. 9).

This progression is the key to the scriptures, to life itself in the most literal sense. Life is the Ineffable; it is the condition the unconditioned awareness of being imagined itself to be . . . and became. You might recognize the pattern: YHWH:

Y = the Ineffable No-thing, Above Life

H = the desire to be life

W = imagining to be life

H = being life

A) "Before the beginning, (the Ineffable) created God, the Heavens and the Earth" (Genesis 1: 1, David A. Cooper translation).

B) "And God said to Moses, 'I (the Ineffable), I absolutely come . . . by Ashur . . . its becoming'" (Exodus 3:14, literal from the Aramaic, see Victor Alexander's translation).

C) "And the Lord God transformed the rib (desire) that he consecrated from Adam (the Ineffable's life-force) to be the wife (manifestation). . . and Adam called the name (nature) of his wife "Eve" ("to produce life"−the imagination), because she was the mother of all who would live" (Genesis 2: 22, 3: 20, Alexander, parentheses mine).

D) "And Kham (Ashur imagining), the father of Canaan (his becoming/all living), saw the nakedness of his father (the Ineffable's desire to be life) and showed (revealed/manifested) him to his two brothers" (Genesis 9: 22, Alexander, parentheses mine). Moses just keeps hammering at the same idea over and over from every angle. I wonder if he was trying to tell us something?

Eve, the Ineffable's imagination−Ashur imagining−is mother to all manifestation. Things become from Ashur imagining−there is increase, phenomenal blessings and miracles; things go right, opportunities arise, abundance appears. There is a Hebrew word for this phenomenal increase: jethro. This is the Jethro which was priest of Midian and father-in-law to Moses. I believe that Moses investigated this phenomenal jethro increase in meditation and discovered, "I (the Ineffable), I absolutely come by Ashur its becoming" (Exodus 3: 14, my tweak on Victor Alexander's literal translation from the Aramaic).

It was revealed to Moses that man is God hidden in man creating his world by Ashur imagining. The name Ashur does not ring a bell except as the Ashurai who emerged from the empire Nimrod built for Cush in the land of Sumer. Cush means full of darkness. I believe Ashur is the form of imagining that creates: "Let there be Light." Ashur is what the Ineffable does. We are variations of him. We should join in our Father's labors and create right, the paradise, by Ashur imagining.

This would have every appearance of witchcraft and sorcery, and I would not be surprised in the least if heresy hunters jump all over this, BUT THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE IS ABOUT, like it of lump it. Hey, I didn't write it: Moses discovered the source of surpassing riches, the supply for every need, salvation from every problem, AND HE PUBLISHED IT OPENLY AS THE PENTATEUCH. Take it up with him. No hidden secret, no sorcery; it was just his Gospel: "This is the life we are supposed to live"−the ecstasy of Ashur imagining. We have just been too dumb to read it for what it says. 

“All the nation brings its tithes (Ashur imagining?) into my stores (our minds?) and there is food in my house, and they test me with this,” said the Almighty Lord, “and I open a window for you in heaven and shower you with blessings until you say, ‘this is more than enough (jethro)'" (Malachi 3: 10, Victor Alexander translation, parenthesis mine). They tested God with "this." Was "this" their Ashur-style imagining? God’s proof and witness is Jethro, and the priest speaks to us: "If it works, you have found him, AND ARE ONE WITH HIM. Lift your eyes to the Glory that is God."

Focus, focus: all this is to reveal to you the wonders that are God. The point is not that you are God or can get everything you want, but that God is wonderful, and that wonderful is right inside of you. 

So, what is Ashur imagining? At least I think it is imagining. "Ashur" is the name of God, the nature of God, in ancient Aramaic. It means, "Over (or Above) the Flames," the same as 'Elohim' in Hebrew. "Over" us the Ineffable is imagining−Ashur imagining. The "flames" are our lives. God, we included, is all imagination.

According to Victor Alexander's note on Exodus 3: 14, Ashur is "the Beginning Spark that kindles the Fire" or "the Light"; "the Uncreated Creator who Creates Everything from Nothing." Strong's Hebrew-Chaldee dictionary has it as "going (a step) . . . successfully; to be straight; to be level; to be right; to be happy; to prosper."

Heat, fire, spark, light, flames, to go a step successfully, to be happy, to prosper−is there a message in this we can cipher? The uncreated creator, the unconditioned awareness of being (the Ineffable), creates, conditioning itself by imagining: "I absolutely come . . . by Ashur . . . its becoming." The creation of jethro prosperity and happiness comes from the "heat." What is Biblical heat? Is it not enflamed passion, intensity of desire, and focus of intent? Excitement can become quite feverish. I think Ashur has to do with getting focused, intense, excited, happy, vibrant, enthusiastic−all good, emotional feelings−about your desired end. I think Moses would say, "Make it hot," or as Mick Jagger sang, "Pot it up." But while Moses saw a man's creative member as typical of this intensity, Noah was in continence−it is in the mind, the imagination.

How do I do it? As well as I can figure, first of all, get quiet and rest. "Be still and know that 'I am God.'" Like Noah, ignore the flood of contrary facts all about you and go to the brink of sleep, but do not fall asleep. Erase the present−the place where you are, the conditions that limit you, everything that says that what you want is not. Return to the unconditioned awareness of being you were before becoming you. "He who is absent from the body is present with the Lord." Become that floating, bodiless potentiality of power and wisdom, light and life and love−That which said, "I come, by intensely, vividly imagining its becoming," before "it" is defined. Then, define it. Condition yourself to be the fulfillment of your desire. What will you feel then? Feel that now. Pot up the emotions−the feelings of joy and gratitude and adoration and satisfaction. Believe you have, really have, what you want−that experience.

When you are with, or rather, are the Lord, you can condition yourself to experience anything at all, at any time at all. You can revise experiences you have had. Yes, there are do-overs for God. Whatever should have been, go back and have it your way. Mentally experience that which you wish you had experienced until you feel you have experienced it . . . your way. Show there your friends, family and/or colleagues. Make "an inner effort of intense attention" to hear their good report, their approval and congratulations. "To listen attentively, as though you heard, is to create" (Neville Goddard, Mental Diets).

Feel that the right decision has been made, that the right action has been taken, that things have worked out just WONDERFULLY. Key up energy, joy, and excitement. And if you can, go to sleep in that state. Or slide back into consciousness of the present with as much of the new spiritual attitude as you can bring along. You are the power that created what will be, Israel, but the wonder of it all is the power you are of: the Almighty−the infinite and gracious and completely indescribable Most High God.

This is called by some "psycho-kinetic (PK) increase." If you can learn to do it, you can train others. You can market it. The world needs it. Every church in the world is supposed to be preaching it. This is the original, divinely legal pyramid scheme, for "the poor you have with you, always." This is God's Gospel, published openly for thousands of years, albeit unrecognized. I think that qualifies it as public domain. Have at it.
