How Shall We Worship the One God With Us in Him and He in Us . . . AS us?

God is not a separate being. There is no God away from us. "He" doesn't have a consort. There is no division or disconnect between him and us. God is one. "If the words God, Lord, Jesus, Yahweh, Christ, the Almighty, El Shaddai or any other such word conveys to you or engenders the sense of "other" and something outside of yourself, you have the wrong God---a false God!"

"Examine yourselves whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves. Don't you your own selves know how that Christ is IN you (i.e., IS you), unless you are still in your ignorance" (2 Corinthians 13: 5; my paraphrase of KJV).

There is only one God, whether you consider him the Father, the Son or the Consciousness, and we each are the Father, because there is only one God, and we are in and of him, as is everything. "They shall put you out of the synagogue. . . whosoever kills you will think that he does God service. And these things they will do unto you because they know not the Father, nor me" (John 16: 2-3). "Me"--God the Father who is their own inner man!

So, here we are without a distant, "wholly other" God to worship; only an inner one. Our destiny is to become him outwardly. How are we to worship . . . uh, us? er, me (on the big scale)?

No, seriously. How are we supposed to worship God if we are him and he is us and everything else? Suppose for a moment the truth: EVERYTHING is the Father. God isn't just the only God, he is the only "thing," the sum total of everything. What are we going to do with this knowledge? Sacrifices, being illustrations only, are out.

If I may make a suggestion (posited originally by Neville Goddard), perhaps we should DO what the Father does. What does the Father do? He quickens the dead and calls those things which are not AS THOUGH THEY WERE (Romans 4: 17).

Oops. I just saw that passage in Romans. Abraham was made the Father to us all. 'Abraham' means Merciful Father--the Father of all peoples . . . who quickens the dead and calls those things which are not as though they were. What was not? Isaac. Sarah was barren. What did God do? He said, "So shall your seed be," speaking of Isaac as though he were. And Abraham believed.

I think we should believe, too, that what is not right should be called AS THOUGH IT IS RIGHT. We call in our minds, in our imaginations, which are God's. Praying out loud is fine too, of course, but it is vivid imagining which creates the end desired. I mean, imagining the good "end" that you want is what creates it. Let's forgive and create the correction for "sin"--whatever is not right/not what God would want. Let's revise whatever is wrong, as Neville said, by deeply, intensely imagining over and over and over again what would be right "until it takes on all the tones of reality." Imagine as well as God does. After all, we are him. Well, try, anyway.

Perhaps I should mention here, too, the principle of the Standing Order in "the Lord's Prayer." The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6: 9-13) gives us the manner in which to pray. It is with an attitude and expectation that what we pray stands as the decree of the Father and "must be being done." Properly translated by Ferrar Fenton (1832-1920), the nature of prayer is that of a standing order, "a thing to be done absolutely, and continuously":

"Our Father in the Heavens (i.e., right here in my inner man);
Your name (i.e., your NATURE) must be being hallowed;
Your kingdom (i.e., your POWER and WISDOM in me) must be being restored;
Your will (i.e., your DESIRE FOR RIGHT) must be being done, both in Heaven and upon the Earth.
Give us to-day our to-morrow's bread (i.e., the right images to imagine for tomorrow);
and forgive us our faults, as we forgive those offending us (i.e., all the historical is released to be done away with),
for you would not lead us into temptation (because you do not want us to continue in sin),
but deliver us from its evil (but want us to create your Paradise)."

It comes to me that inasmuch as we are the Ineffable's imagining, the attitudes of gratitude and praise are wholly appropriate. That would normally go without saying, except the premise here is that we are in that being praised.

It also occurs that we need to review what we have decreed AS God, intentionally or not. Just looking at the Table of Contents in Working With the Law for clues, I notice in Holliwell's first chapter evidence that just as Neville always said, we create our own misfortune by what we imagine, by the words that come out of our own mouths. This is something to take up with the Father in review and revision.

We need to seek forgiveness, correction and repentance. Got to watch our attitudes and our actions and correct our history. Hallelujah, we can heal our past by reliving it again and revising it in our imagination. See pg. 19 of Neville's The Law and the Promise, where the woman with chronic pain re-creates the event that wounded her and changes the event so that she was not wounded. Just another wonderful day then, and now she is healed.

Spooky? The whole of time and space is already finished. When the ineffable Beginning created God as the Heavens and the Earth, the end of the whole process was already set. Nothing that can happen can alter that end. We are free to get there.

All alternatives that can get us there are permissible. Wounds are going to get us there, and the absence of wounds is going to get us there. You choose. If we are God creating the world, the world is us. Today, yesterday, and tomorrow are our imagining, and we can change the imagining on our "wheel." A lady went back and changed her yesterday. I wonder, if her mother was still alive, what would she remember? Kind of Twilight Zone-y. (Frequency was one of my favorite movies, as was the Back to the Future series.) But her experience was real. IS real. She just had he determination to DO it.

In that the Ineffable has made us "Him," and the world us (and this is just the start), I think adoration is called for, too.
