Imagining, not Wishful Thinking, Creates Reality

The conclusion of the matter of Jethro, the jutting-over excellence of Him, is "Ahiyeh Asher hiyeh" (Exodus 3: 14, Victor Alexander translation): Imagining Creates Reality.

This is not wishful thinking. Wishful thinking is longing. Imagining is belief. What is imagined is replicated in reality. Wishful thinking replicates as real wishful thinking, perpetuating longing. The meaning of Ahiyeh is I come in the absolute sense. Imagining that I have come (as this), i. e., I have become and now am this, is replicated as real This.

It is ACTION -- imagining and endeavor -- that pulls together plan and fulfillment.

Help Make a Movie: The Dualistic Christ vs the Nondual Christ, or the Modern First(!) Advent of Eashoa?

I would seriously like to receive some help (see below). Victor Alexander has had a life-long dream of making a movie about the real Jesus Christ, the story of Eashoa Msheekha of the ancient Aramaic Bible. His movie would correct many of the doctrinal errors of Western Christianity.

Mr. Alexander has put forth this scenario proposal: "What if Jesus had come to the world for the first time today? How would we be different from the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans of two thousand years ago? And who would be the Aramaic speaking people of today? It would make a really interesting movie, wouldn't it? Would you support such a movie project? Let me know what you think."

The Life-giving Branch born into the world for the first time NOW. I think the existing church with its expectation of His immanent return would muck it up a bit. Kind of like Carter on Mars; it would be an already discarded thesis.

What if the reading of the Bible by the church is screwy, though, and Jesus Christ, as Paul suggests, ever has been the Power of God and the Wisdom of God which incarnates in each and every child born of woman, as the child, but without his knowing it (else Life could not incarnate to suffering)? I would rather have a movie that pits the teachings of the non-dual, subtle inner man, the consciousness and imagination of every man and woman, that is the incarnation of Jesus Christ crucified at birth to become us. . . against the church's teaching of the dualistic Jesus Christ who came and died, arose and is coming again in judgment.

I would contrast the emptiness and desperation of the Christ-is-up-in-Heaven church participants with the confidence of Christ-became-me church participants, with the latter participants speaking on behalf of Christ in them. But I am not making the movie, Victor Alexander is.

I do not have an extra hundred thousand dollars to invest in Victor's movie. Many of you do. For you a quarter of a million is chump change. If you would like to hear what Mr. Alexander would really like to do to present the accurate picture of Jesus Christ from the ancient Aramaic Bible of the Church of the East, please contact him at http://www.v-a.com/bible/ (vic@v-a.com)


The help I would like to receive is how to say this better: "It is strange and sad to me that the subtle, inner man, the consciousness and imagination of every man and woman which is Christ, is considered heresy by the church." I am sure there is a better way to say it. Would you mind to take a poke at saying it better in the comments section below? Thanks.

The Mistaken Notion That Prophecy Refers to the Future

I keep seeing this mistake over and over, that prophecy refers to events in the future. Prophecy is not a foretelling of the future; it is revelation of the nature of God in the present and its consequence. Yes, there is a "future" aspect to it in the effect caused as a consequence to His nature BEING BELIEVED.

"But it says that the Messiah will come." Yes, the Messiah is the nature of God in you right NOW, which will become apparent WHEN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS.

"But it says that people will be divided, and some will go to heaven and some will be thrown into hell." Yes, that is where the nature of God is in us right NOW: the Spirit in us has been made ignorant by the forgetting of amnesia (from our fall into the consciousness of humanity--our once appointed death), with us thinking that we are these bodies. This has been our condition and will remain our condition UNTIL WE BELIEVE AND ACCEPT WHAT HE SAYS. Then, with a conscience caused by the Messiah's becoming apparent in us we become wholly attuned to the Spirit--Heaven.

The future you are waiting for is available to you right NOW if you BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS.

Rabbi Gutman Lock and Pastor Joel Kramer Both Miss Jesus Christ

Youtube.com suggests these things to me now, so I watched Gutman Lock's conversation with Joel Kramer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZW-NKGXFGg). Both testifying as they see it. Both refer to Jesus Christ as a regular human person--Gutman as a real regular person, and Joel as the Son of God incarnate.

Dudes, "Jesus Christ" was known for centuries prior as God, our Father. Don't worry about the 'o'. In the New Testament, the Father is postulated as being IN us and speaking TO us. A large community was aware of the Father working in and through us. Mark wrote about this divine person-within-us as a projected exterior teacher. Well, some people outside the community heard about this "person" and thought it was a real historical somebody who had lived and died and all that stuff.

That is the way publishing and teaching was in those days. Just read the New Testament with Jesus Christ as that of God the Father within you,* and you will be fine. (You will see that Paul was among the outsiders who thought Jesus was a person and expected him to return any minute, until he realized that no, it is all within.)

*The subtle, inner man -- Jacob -- is the spirit of God in everyone.

I as the Action and the Character of God

We are born into this world, and here it is. We have no natural inclination to the spirit. We eat, sleep, and have sex. There is nothing beyond taking care of "number one." We do what we want, when we want, as much as is allowed in the pecking order or on the sly.

We are not much different from hatched dinosaurs. There you are, a baby T-Rex. What are you going to do? Eat. Your siblings if they are not fast enough. Then you are going to run down and consume everything you can. Hundreds of millions of years of terror.

We do whatever we want with these lives. Not much different from the dinosaurs. But these lives are the ACTION of the Ineffable becoming form. Wow, It is really, really, patient (as fitting Something that is actually facing eternity). The lives are actually ours, but "our" lives as we see the world are illusions. We are banging away in a teapot like it really is something, but it is nothing. The only thing that matters is the ACTION of the Ineffable imagining that It is us, thus becoming us.

We are zero-distance eruptions of Its being's imagining. For my purpose, there was no Big Bang--we are all still inside the speck the universe supposedly came from. (I just made that up, but I like it!) There is That which is imagining, and our destiny is to be It. Can you hear, "A little cooperation, please?"

Oh. It doesn't want us to be mindless consumers of each other. It is not selfish. It is not fearful. "Could you make your action like mine, please?"

Hmm. "Okay, what is your action like?"

"Um, My action is constant, kind, generous, loving, supporting, gracious--all the things you hear about Me in the Bible. You know, the best of your mother and father. I am always thinking the best for you. In complete faith."

Okay, so I am to have the same character as God in my imagining toward others. Constantly, like I was a Pentecostal Holiness Holy Roller.

"Exactly."

"Eh, Mate, I believe you when you say that you love me and imagine only the best, most loving and generous thoughts for me, and that your imagining must come to pass. But, like, uh, I don't see it."

"In your ignorance you are independent to have what YOU imagine. Come on, man, I said to you audibly in the House of Praise in Kaimuki, 'Come unto Me.' That meant to take my yoke upon you and to learn of Me. BECOME ME. Make Me YOUR action. All the good things I imagine for you SHALL BE--I swear upon my own name--but not while you think like a dinosaur. Ix nay the elfishness say,* and I will bring it to pass. Stand in My character and do My action."

*Pig-Latin: Nix the selfishness

Manifestation is a Screenless Projection

Christians seem to think that creation is apart from God. I think their mental image of creation could be likened to a movie theater where the projector is behind the audience and the screen is in front. The projector is like God who "speaks" the universe into existence and it takes effect "over there" on the screen.

As far as the audience is concerned, there is nothing in the great divide between the projector and the screen: the projector is directing the action, and it magically takes place where we see it. Of course, the audience certainly knows that there is something in the twain. I won't mention their sticking their hands into it to make shadows on the screen.

The manifestation of God is not coming into existence some place else, like over there on the screen, "here" as opposed to "where He is." Manifesting is a self-enclosed ACTION, a screen-less projection from formlessness to form. The apparent IS the unapparent.

Rabbi David A. Cooper had a wonderful exercise where one imagined being at the throne of God and watching His light project through a screen of images onto a stage where the images take three dimensional form. It was interesting that the forms projected back through the screen their images to God.

The concept of distance here is useful in delineating the relationships between Projector and Projected, intention and independence, cultivation and generation. But the concept of distance is also misleading. It suggests separation between cause and effect.

I ask you to consider the image of a movie theater again; see the whole thing as a unit--projector, light transit and screen all together as one entity. That is easy enough. Now move the screen over to the projector so close that there is no distance in the light transit, and no screen. The projector erupts into the images directly. There you go, mate. Reality.

The Eloquence of I AM He

It doesn't get more eloquent than "I come .  . AM . . . He becomes."

There are not two there. It is not "I become another." Nor is it "I transcendentally am joined to him." It is that the Ineffable comes AS he, by imagining that It IS he: "I come, he becomes."

Exodus 3: 14: Praying is the Action of Believing, "I AM (THAT)"

I am, admittedly, hung up on Exodus 3: 14. In ancient Aramaic (according to Victor Alexander's translation), the name/nature of God is "Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh." Ahiyeh means "I come" in the absolute sense. Hiyeh means "He becomes." Ashur is most interesting. It is the name/nature of the Creator in Aramaic. But what is the Creator?

I propose that Ashur is the action of the Ineffable believing that It is what It imagines . . . that Ashur is a verb, the thinking of being a thing . . . that It (the Ineffable) is imagining "I am (that)" with such intensity and clarity that what is imagined actually exists to facilitate Its being.

The Creator is the attitude of "am." Am is a verb: "I am (that)." The Ineffable imagines, "I am (whatever thing It imagines It is)," and It is.

Consider the breadth of the universe, my friend. The Ineffable is imagining Itself to be every thing. "The Father knows what you have need of." What are you trying to manifest special pleasures for yourself for? Go out and teach this stuff.

Every thing is the action of the Ineffable imagining that It is each thing. And we are the Ineffable (as is everything). Praying -- the believing that we are/have/and receive what we desire -- is practice we are to do of this particular action AS the Ineffable. We are to practice the action of "Godding" -- the believing that we ARE that which we desire -- unto the perfection of doing it as well as the Ineffable does it.

Perhaps escaped slaves from Egypt discovered this teaching in the region of YHW (an actual place) in Midian. "What is imagined becomes" is Jethro (jutting over), the "priest" of Midian. OUR imagining which becomes is YHWH (lit. Heb. "He becomes," which is us included in the Imaginer). The escaped slaves took this Gospel germ (Moses) with them to Palestine, where the Power of God and the Wisdom of God within them, i.e., God's salvation (Joshua),brought them into the "Promised Land" of its full "blood" realization as Israel--God ruling as man.

There is NO separation or division between the Ineffable's imagining which becomes and our imagining which becomes. There is no distance between "up there" and "down here"; between Him and us. Down here IS up there -- we are just not awake to this truth YET.

All is one, and we are Him. We need to "pour oil onto" the fire of our practice of this action to find Him in us when it works. Imagine what you want to be, and believe that you ARE it.

The Deep Feeling of Love and Talk About It: Go With the Love If You Are Not Me

rvl posted a comment on An E-mail Exchange I had With a Christian About Neville Goddard, Part II (January 12, 2015) that was so good I want to highlight it for everyone. He or she said,

"Thanks for your efforts to clarify the work of Neville Goddard. You know, it's like when you're deeply in love with someone: the more you talk about it, the more you lose contact with the pure feeling of that love... You wanna do something, shout to the world how much you love her (or him), but in the end it's all about feeling (experiencing), not about words (concepts). I'm the breathing out and the breathing in, the good and the bad, etc. and I will never figure it all out with my mind (thoughts, logic, conceptual idea's) and the reason for that is: I've set it up this way :-)"


To which I say, "Yes, exactly."

Forty years ago I had spiritual experiences that were inexpressible and yet common to many people. Mine were ecstasies related to conversion and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. They were experiences that changed my worldview and purpose in life.

My purpose now is to get everyone to have the experiences. The experiences, though, hinge upon mental concepts -- mental concepts that exist in one's blood (real life). I can talk about humility and repentance and surrender all day, and one could listen all day, but nothing would happen until the person actually entered in to the experience of humility, repentance and surrender in his or her inner attitudes.

Neville's lectures and books are not very old. He had heirs. How is it that the lectures and books are already in the public domain for all these guys to be marketing? (I found everything for free download on the internet.) Neville said day after day, "Try it." Try to have the experience, because when you do, and it works, you will have found Him. Him who is actually you. He has a purpose, the purpose Neville found: for you to become the Highest.

We have that GIVEN to us: to become the Highest. Not just coincidentally, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is given when one arrives at the point (in humility, in repentance, and in surrender) of just ACCEPTING it.

Of course, I speak as a Pentecostal Christian, but the same holds true for anyone who will accept the truth. There is only one God, and He is becoming. And we are that. No, we will never figure it all out in our minds as a way of getting there. We do not have to. I write all my words as a way of shouting, "HEY! HEY! HEY! Look this way!" God's way is a lot simpler. He says, "Come, taste." Taste. Get in close contact with the pure feeling of that love. The experience will do you good.

One has Less Separation in it Than You Might Think: the Flip = the Virgin Birth = the Atonement

There is a question as to whether or not healing is in the atonement made by the death of Jesus Christ, or if only our eternal salvation is in the atonement.

Silly, EVERYTHING is in the atonement made at the death of Jesus Christ. It is just that people don't know when that death was. Jesus Christ is the Lamb slain FROM the foundation of the world. Not at the foundation of the world, but from. It is an ongoing dying.

I remember just prior to my baptism in the Holy Spirit I saw a mud-man made alive, and I, as imagination, wondered the mud-man's imagination . . . and became it. I flipped into being him, er, me. I DIED from what I was by forgetting and became me--a virgin birth. And because everything from that is due to the PRIOR me's action, I am forgiven EVERYTHING. Atonement.

When we desire to become us, and by our imagining do become us, we accept EVERYTHING that is going down from then on. Because what is going on is simply the Ineffable's process of becoming form.
______________________________________

The breadth of history and everything in it is the Ineffable becoming form. We can deduce from it all that which is advance and how that advance is made. And then make that advance.

Wow, what a threat that is. Like the rich young ruler, we turn from Christ sorrowing because we have so much. And so many manifestors are just trying to get more. But as Neville said, "When it works, you have found him." "Him" is here: You. What are You here for?

Seeing the Silence Neville Goddard Kept Telling Us to Enter

ADDED MAY 22, 2015 12:48 AM:

The Silence is where there is no sound and no voice in thought. Just being--unconditioned awareness of being. You do not just sit there, you un yourself. Then you float . . . aware only of being. THEN you think about what you want to be and become that.
_________________________________________

I have been thinking about the higher self, the still-smart God side of the "ignoranced" consciousness we are. In case you just tuned in, God is e'had--myriad consciousness/spirit (Deuteronomy 6: 4)--the Power and Wisdom of God (Christ) which became each of us. Christ became us by our spirits (actually him) imagining that we were the human physical us, thus annexing the brain. We "flipped" from thinking as spirit into thinking as humans and being us.

Well, that is the thing: our THOUGHTS are a constant stream of distracting chatter that keeps us thinking that we are the human us. We are actually the higher self listening to it.

In meditation we need to exercise the mindfulness of just being in the moment, of just hearing what is around us as data in the ear, of just feeling what touches us as data on the skin, and just letting the thoughts we hear in our mind be data that occurs there.

Behind the sounds of our thoughts is a silence where our higher self is. The noise of our thoughts is a cloak, a facade--"Ha ha, you can't see Me, because all you can see is your thoughts."

Let the thoughts come, but pay them no mind. Go into the silence behind them as the higher self that you are. Be that, and then imagine the future you desire as if it were received.


"Reality" is a One-sided Coin

I use the image of a two-sided coin to illustrate our oneness with God, who is the one coin. The top surface is a spotless, polished proof--perfect in every way. The bottom is ugly, dirty and marred human ignorance. Our job as God's consciousness here is to make our lower side like the upper side, and that is not done by effort as much as by submission to the oneness.

In reality, everything IS God; the Ineffable so much more than we can ever imagine. The whole of ontic reality is a one-sided coin. Even this marred and ugly side is the spotless, polished proof; for we are Ineffable doing what the Ineffable is doing.

Work with the One You Are

Although we are one, we work with God as another. It is the dumbed-down part working with the still-smart part learning to be smarter.

How can we learn of what we do not know if no one is sent? We send ourselves into faith to learn the God we do not know even though we are him. So yes, we talk to "Jesus"--God in us--as another even though we know that he is us.

I liken it to talking to the blood we want to go back into our leg when our foot has gone to sleep. "Go on, get back in there. Waken it up. It is of no use to me in this condition!"

As Neville pointed out repeatedly, when David appears and calls us "Father," which we are, memory of what we are and of what we are doing will return and we will know that we are the Father.

Can the Ineffable Most High . . . Who is Imagining Us AS Its Imagination . . . Make Its Imagination Itself?

The ancient authors of the holy scriptures certainly knew God in a special way. Think of all the wonderful things revealed: the ineffable, most high Source of All; the E'had's (God's) being both the heavens and the earth; the oneness of God including us; Christ's becoming the inner man we think we are; and our redemption by the Holy Spirit.

Yet it says that "eye does not see and ear does not hear, and over the heart does not rise the thing Allaha (God) has graced to those who mercy him" (1 Corinthians 2: 9, Alexander, note). What could that be? Enter a Christian book store and you will find any number of books by people who say they have gone to Heaven, sat on God's lap, beat David at ping-pong and whatever. People named Kenneth have long, drawn-out conversations with God. And yet "it has not entered into human perception" what God has in store for us.

Could it be that what Allaha has consecrated for us is ineffability itself--that we shall become as the ineffable? The Ineffable is above all thought, mind, power and force. It does those things, but It is Itself an order above them. It is above all "being," above all that is conceivable. It is inconceivable. But, It is imagining. Can It make Its imagining, which It is imagining, to imagine as It? That is, for Its imagining to gain ineffability and become THE imaginer?

Is that where we are going? What happens when we do, when the the whole universe imagines AS the Ineffable? Another Big Bang? Boy, wouldn't that give new meaning to the phrase, "Me, Myself, and I."

Are we becoming the Bride of the Ineffable? The Mother of Its living? What do you think, Eil Shaddai (Christ in you) -- the Many-Breasted One?

The Faith of a Mustard Seed: Is Every Particle in the Universe Thinking, "I am . . ."?

The universe is thinking, too.

I do not know where Gregg Braden gets his information, but I believe I heard him say (on youtube.com) that physicists were able to capture photons in a vacuum. The photons were floating around randomly. The scientists introduced a piece of DNA into the vacuum, and the photons mimicked the DNA. When the DNA was removed, the photons continued to mimic it. They had learned "DNA."

I heard elsewhere that physicists researching the behavior of quantum particles -- quarks or whatever -- were surprised that the particles acted as expected while they were observed but not when unobserved. The particles acted according to the expectations of their observers only when those expectations were present. How did they learn this?

I take from this that the most basic elements of the universe are imagining. They are power that is intelligent and are imagining: "I am (whatever the particle is)." This is "the faith of a mustard seed." A mustard seed has only one belief: "I am a mustard." It goes with that . . . and grows to become a mustard. Quarks believe they are quarks. Photons believe they are photons. Introduce DNA and they believe they are DNA. All that was necessary for life to begin on this earth was for some particles to imagine that they were DNA, and Who could have introduced that thought?

What do you believe you are? Believe you are this, and you will become this. And when you do become what you believe yourself to be, Who has made you so? That ineffable conscience in you that is imagining that it is you . . . in every particle that you think is "me."

What will you do for Him? At this moment I am writing this blog. Victor Alexander is translating the ancient Aramaic Bible and making movies. My wife is being the best wife and mother in the world. Wha'chu doin', Willis? (I.e., what are you doing?)

I think this is what Napoleon Hill meant when he said that you have to take control of your own mind and decide what you are going to be, and you have to determine what you are willing to PAY for this privilege. We do not pay God with cash or even with work. We lay down our self-lordship totally and submit completely to whatever he wills for us to be.

Hey, the terms are real easy. All he requires is our submitting of our whole life completely and continuously:

"Remember this, and it is all right."

The Law of Attraction Hurts by a) Being Stupid Beyond Belief, and b) by Denying the Truth

It hurts! It hurts! The Law of Attraction is such a load of crap it HURTS to listen to it. "Like vibrations attract each other like magnets attract iron filings." ??? What if money was aluminum? or paper? What if my good fortune is someone else's loss? The whole thing is just so silly, so stupid I cannot listen to it.

Imagination, on the other hand, has a divine Source who is imagining everything that is. Imagination has the Holy Scriptures behind it. The scriptures are about us--imagination--from beginning to end. Imagining we can do. Try vibrating yourself better. Go on, shake yourself! Feel wealthier? healthier?

There is One who is imagining not the universe, but all the imagining in the universe. THAT is a big job. The "Big Guy" is real big! And the Law of Attraction was constructed to deny Him of whom the scriptures are about--you. You are the Big Guy.

I think most people do not know this: the scriptures we have are not the scriptures that were. They were edited long before the time of Jesus--says the Massorah of the Hebrew scriptures itself. (The Massorah is the Jews' own record on the scrolls themselves of the changes they have made.) Using The Companion Bible as my study Bible, I have become quite familiar with the Jewish process of de-anthropomorphizing their scriptures. If the text in any way suggested a corporal body or human features for God, they changed the words. So when it said that YHWH still PHYSICALLY stood before Abraham, they changed it to Abraham still stood before YHWH, thus avoiding the consequence that YHWH had to have had a corporal body to stand there.

Here are The Companion Bibles' Appendixes concerning this editing by the Sopherim (actually, I prefer those of The Rain, below):
http://levendwater.org/companion/append30.html
http://levendwater.org/companion/append31.html
http://levendwater.org/companion/append32.html

The same can be found at several other sites. I might also recommend the Rain:

Most referenced verses have more detailed notes in their adjacent margin.

I think this principle may have first been applied to Exodus 3: 14, the "I AM THAT I AM" verse. In the Hebrew text, it says "I am that I am," just like that--first personal pronoun to first personal pronoun. Literally: I become that which I become. But the ancient Aramaic text has first personal pronoun, "I become," to THIRD personal pronoun, "He becomes." How did the ancient Aramaic get THAT? Obviously, that was the way the verse originally read before the Sopherim changed it to avoid the anthropomorphism: God becomes "Him."

Him who? I think the answer may be hid in the middle word, Asher in the Hebrew, Ashur in the Aramaic. Asher means "that, which" and the like. Ashur is the ancient Creator God of the Ashurites, whose language the Bible was originally written in (ancient "Hebrew" was ancient Aramaic). You can get a fuller idea of what Ashur means from Victor Alexander's notes on Exodus 3: 14 (http://www.v-a.com/bible/supporters/exodus_1-4.html), which reads:

"*3:14 Lit. Aramaic: (1) "Ahiyeh": "the One Who Comes in His Coming," the absolute sense of "the One Who Comes." (2) "Ashur": "the Beginning Spark that kindles the Fire" or "the Light." (3) "Hiyeh": "His Coming." (4) "Ahiyeh" and "hiyeh" are related forms of the same word. They mean more than "the Coming." They signify also the "Eternal Presence," "the Ever-Present," and the "Never Ceasing Intent of the Comer to Come." (5) In the same way, "Ashur" signifies "the Uncreated Creator who Creates Everything from Nothing." (6) Also, "Ashur" signifies: "Above-the-Flames."

What uncreated Creator creates everything from nothing? The Milta, the Manifestation--the Imagining of the Ineffable. I read the verse (Exodus 3: 14) "By Imagining I become His becoming." Okay, His who?

You, and the world that you have become. "He" is the Manifestation of the Ineffable's imagining--verily the Ineffable Itself.

"Whoa!" shouted the Sopherim when they realized what they had. "We are Him? That can't be. I mean, we can't tell the people that. They won't keep paying us if they learn that they are God creating their own worlds by imagining. Dang--quick, man--change that 'I am you' to 'I am Me.' 'I am you' will never do!"

The Law of attraction denies the Manifestation of the Ineffable. "No, no, no, 'He' isn't orchestrating the world by our imagining; we are orchestrating the world by how fast we shake. Shaking fast is good; shaking slow is bad. Come on, everybody, let's shake!"

What a load of crap. Pure, unmitigated crap. Its whole design is so that "When it works," you DON'T find Him--God, who has become you.

It isn't "Wishful Thinking": YHWH, the Pattern of You, is the Ineffable Ordering the Universe

Elohim is a well known Hebrew name for God. It is--and isn't--plural. It references that which is "Over the Flames," which is what it means. God--singular--is that which is over the flames. His spirit (consciousness), which has become our conscious awarenesses of being---plural--are the "flames." Elohim is one thing that ends in a plural.

I have long conceptualized another well known Hebrew name for God, YHWH, to be like that. 'Y' the ineffable God--singular; 'H' his will to manifest; 'W' his power and wisdom to manifest; and (a slightly different) 'H', his manifestation in us--plural.

So I asked the expert of the ancient Aramaic language, Victor Alexander, if YHWH could be construed as a plural-ended word like Elohim.

No, said Mr. Alexander. It is singular. It means He Becomes.

I knew that. But then a light went on in my head. OH! It is still the pattern, but from another angle. As Neville Goddard always said, "When it works, then you have found Him." When what works? What does "When it works" mean? He Becomes!!! When He Becomes, you have found Him!

Here is the big, springy-worm that is hard to get into the can: because we are one, imagining is both his and ours. Our imagining is His, and His imagining is ours. He is imagining our imagining. Our imagining is independent, which is what He is imagining. Springy enough?

YHWH is the one who spoke the world into existence and ordered it by faith. And we are Him. There is nothing but God in the universe. There is Him and us, "us" being everything, and we all are one. And we all are becoming. It is called "Now."

We are all constantly becoming. His becoming THIS form was from OUR imagining, for our imagining IS the Ineffable. THEREFORE, our imagining is not "wishful thinking," it is the ineffable, Most High God ordering the universe by our word (thoughts/beliefs) and faith (confidence).

Our imagining is the many fingers of God redirecting the world. The matter of the universe, it turns out, is intelligent. I imagine a thing, and the many "fingers" of the Ineffable orchestrate its becoming. What's becoming? My imagination's becoming into manifestation. And when it--my imagination--"works" by becoming, then I have found Him . . .the ineffable Most High God to be my own, wonderful human imagination.

Thank you, Vic and Neville.

And, dear friend, be artful and noble in what you imagine. It is prayer. What you desire and intend and believe in prayer will become if you have confidence in it. It isn't wishful thinking--it is the Ineffable ordering the universe, so believe well.

The Worship of the Goddess is Worship of the One is Worship of the Ineffable Most High

Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy conclude in Jesus and the Lost Goddess SPOILER ALERT that the "Goddess" is the oneness of God. That YHWH is one (Heb. e'had) means that we are Its existence, part and parcel to the whole package deal. We are on the God side of the divide (and there is no divide or other side, anyway).

Worshiping the Goddess is worshiping the one who is the Ineffable. You might say the Goddess is the Ineffable's Eve, Its motherhood to all living. You wouldn't say that you worship the motherhood of God but not the God who is mothering, would you? It is all an integrated package.

And we are in and of that package. Like my lovely wife says, "Mother's Day is every day, both before and after Mother's Day." Be a good Mom. Your world will appreciate it.

Happy Mother's Day to All Mankind

Whether you are male or female you are Eve, the mother of all living. Your thoughts, desires, intentions, and assumptions are creating the world you live in. It is your child. I hope all your children are healthy and happy and doing well.

A Letter to Victor Alexander: Are Allaha and YHWH Singular Words with Plural Endings, Like Elohim, and Which Movie are You Making?

I spent years at seminaries and collected shelves of study bibles, lexicons and commentaries so that I could eke out the meanings of ancient languages through much study and contemplation. Now I e-mail Victor Alexander, an expert in THE ancient language, Aramaic, and just ask him. No, this is NOT a free service he provides; I have reason to ask, and he has reason to respond.

I had a deep and serious theological question about some names (natures) of God and noticed Mr. Alexander's crowdfunding campaign for The Story of Eashoa Msheekha was not doing well. Well, how could it? He and I are the only ones who know what Eashoa Msheekha means. And who here has ever gone to Indiegogo.com to see if you could fund a movie? Raise your hands.

Precious few. Okay, none. But I am asking you, if you are wealthy enough to make a movie and are interested in making one of the most important and influential religious movies ever to shine on the screen and in people's hearts, please contact Mr. Alexander at v-a.com (vic@v-a.com). Victor is asking for small contributions. I am asking for someone who wants to change the world.

"A silly, religious costume rehashing of the same old Bible stories that have been done hundreds of times (and seldom well)?"

No, the true teachings of the Apostles from ancient Aramaic language as preserved by the Church of the East. You can count those movies on . . . well, no, you can't count those movies at all, because there hasn't ever been any in English. Imagine--a movie that doesn't just present what the Bible says, but what it MEANS by what it says. I hear thousands, millions of people over the years sighing a collective, "Oh. So THAT'S what it means. The world is not as I thought, and neither am I," and immediately evolving upward inside. They will never be the same.

Brother (or sister), can you spare a hundred thousand or two?

This could even be used to change Islamic extremism. How? Extremists are driven to bring all mankind into submission to Allah. They view Christian worship of Christ as idolatry. The movie would clarify that Eashoa (Jesus) is the MANIFESTATION of Allaha--the "Allah" that Mohammad served. "Oh," they would have to say, "Eashoa wasn't a prophet who came before Mohammad: He is the One Who sent Mohammad!" Muslims, Christians and Jews could all be on the same page. Hindus and others, too.

Maybe a major organization would like to change the whole Middle East. Bring world peace. This little film could be a big hammer in forging a new world. Fund a movie. Call Victor. Okay, e-mail him. vic@v-a.com
________________________________________________

So anyway, I wrote to Mr. Alexander. I'll put comments in parentheses between the paragraphs:

Mr. Alexander,

If it would help, the next time you start an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign let me (and everyone else) know, and I'll scream about it on my blog and ask my few visitors to post the link on their blogs, too.


I do have a serious question about ancient language. As you know, I lean even a little more toward the esoteric than you. For example, I read Genesis 1: 1 "The Beginning (i.e., the Milta of the Ineffable) created God, the Heavens and the Earth." I read this as God is thus the entirety of all dimensions of the universe, the heavens being the innumerable myriads of consciousness imagining (the flames of the e'had) and the earth, their facilitating matter. Elohim is "Over the Flames."

(Vic: -- To me He is above the whole thing, and the thing that we call the ‘universe’ is just another dimension for Him. But I could be wrong. In my heart, I want to think that we are special too.)

Also, I read all the people in the Bible as being reference to ourselves: Adam---the life of God in every man--becomes Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, and Paul; because all of us are the Lamb, the Christ of God who became us. Yeah, that it pretty "esoteric." But it IS the Gospel of Moses.

For me it is all a package deal: there is no separation or division between the Ineffable, Its Manifestation, and the Milta's manifestation in us, AS us: the transcendence of the Ineffable includes everything within it. Ref. Deuteronomy 6: 4. We are all one thing: the Ineffable.

My question refers to the Aramaic words Allaha and YHWH. If I understand you correctly, Allaha is the same as Elohim in that it is one being with a plural ending: "(Eil) Over the flames."


(Vic: -- Yes, Allaha and Elohim are the same – in the same way we say ‘God’ – these are generic titles (names) for the ‘creator of the universe.’)

Does this framework extend to YHWH? If you have watched The Bible's Buried Secrets (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpX2JQYZnHs), at 39 to 43 minutes they explain the God of YHW, a region in Midian where escaped slaves from Egypt discovered Eil, the Almighty. I equate this discovery with Moses' meditation on jethro and his subsequent burning bush revelation:
"Ahiyeh Asher Hiyeh." The slaves proceeded to the Palestinian hills and explained that the God they had discovered in YHW includes all of us--YHWH, a singular word with a plural ending. Hence, Israel = "God ruling AS man."

So my question is: are the endings of Allaha and YHWH plural?


(Vic: -- No, they are singular. Elohim is plural. YHWH refers to the Son [literally, ‘He Becomes’]. He Becomes the Son of Man and the Messiah prophesied by the Scriptures ‘in our sense of time’ or in our ‘space-time continuum.’)

I also take the Christian Lindtner Theory (http://www.jesusisbuddha.com/CLT.html) with both a grain of salt and some serious consideration. Says Lindtner:


"As you all are aware, there is a so-called synoptic problem. Matthew, Mark and Luke have a lot in common. But there are some differences. The synoptic problem has to do with the mutual relationship between the three Gospels. It is discussed in any modern introduction to the NT. Augustine held that Mark depended on Matthew, and Luke on Matthew and Mark. A modern theory saying that Mark was the first evangelist, and that Matthew and Luke depended not only on Mark but also on a source, now termed Q(uelle), but no longer available, has found fairly general (but not universal) acceptance. The hypothesis of Q, however, cannot account for what Q actually looked like, who made it, its language, what ever became of Q etc., and it fails to explain the origin of Mark.

"The CLT has a simple answer to the Q problem. Q, understood as the source not only of Matthew, Mark and Luke, but even of John and the other writings of the NT, can, according to CLT, be defined in terms of the Buddhist sources in Sanskrit. These texts are, fortunately, still available to scholars 
"Unfortunately, not all of them have been translated into modern languages. The main Buddhist sources are Mûlasarvâstivâdavinaya (MSV) and the Saddharmapundarîka (SDP). The Sukhâvatîvyûha is the source of Luke 10:17. The first words of Jesus are from the Prajnâpâramitâ. There are a few other Buddhist sources, and of course the numerous quotations from the Old Testament, but the main sources are, without any shadow of doubt, the MSV (parts of which, again, prove more important than others), and the SDP. The SDP is available in modern translations.
"It is in this general sense that the CLT claims that Q = MSV+SDP."

(Vic: -- It really sounds intriguing. I’ll definitely give it a good review.) (Dan: -- Lindtner goes overboard in some areas. But that Ashoka sent missionaries to the West is history. I think it is not that Jesus went to India, but that it was an Indian who wrote the story of Jesus. And, ironically, to the people he had learned the story from.)

Like I said, this is taken with the proverbial grain of salt, but perhaps there is something here, even something MOVIE WORTHY. In New Testament times Israel was full of both literal-historical dualists and Gnostic-leaning nondualists. They famously did not get along. Still don't. I suppose an Indian missionary of Emperor Ashoka's movement of the Buddhist Gospel traveled to Israel and on to Alexandria in Egypt, where he encountered the ancient Aramaic texts of Judaism and all the Western and Egyptian myths and philosophies. He understood what the texts actually say and perceived that the Jewish priests and Pharisees had their own religion all wrong. "Hey, you guys, that isn't what Moses meant. You have misread your own Law. It is about you, not history."
You can imagine the violent reactions the Pharisees and scribes had to his arguments. The Indian sage had to take a lot of in-your-face vitriol and threat (if not actual harm). Knowing a literal, well known Gnostic-leaning Jacob (James) or Jesus who had suffered death from these defenders of the faith, the Indian wrote the Gospel of Jesus and put the wisdom he had learned from all the philosophies and the Old Testament into the dead man's mouth. The inner man's mouth. We call that book the Gospel of Mark.
I mention this scenario as a framework you might be able to hang your script on. It sounds like The Story of Eashoa Msheekha to me, and it could easily be transposed to a modern context (like you mean to do for your movie The Apostles)--because Eashoa Msheekha truly is "the same yesterday, today and forever." All the Gospel affects the inner man. Were I doing the movie, I would even have a modern, young Indian come to learn the truth of the Gospel of Moses and then try to explain it to modern, Western Christians and Jews. Talk about fireworks!

Too wild?

(Vic: -- Not at all. Can you find me $100,000 in funding? We’ll shoot it in Ojai --Vic)

Dan

Victor Alexander is Making a Movie. I Don't Know Which One, But He Could Use Some Help

I appreciate to no end Victor Alexander's translations from the ancient Aramaic. No, that is not quite what I mean to say. I do not know how good, actually, his translations are, but I know they are much, much more authentic than any "Western" translation of the scriptures. What I mean to say is that I appreciate Mr. Alexander's translating the ancient Aramaic scriptures into English. He translates as an Easterner.

The scriptures come from an Aramaic world. The people who experienced Christ spoke in Aramaic and thought in Aramaic. They experienced what became the scriptures in all Aramaic reference. When they said to themselves, "How can I say this or explain this to another person--how can I teach it?" they formulated their answers in Aramaic. It is an Eastern book.

Mr. Alexander wants to produce a movie (that is his actual line of business) depicting the teachings of the Apostles FROM THE ANCIENT ARAMAIC POINT OF VIEW.

Most Westerners do not have a clue as to what the scriptures actually mean. Our concept of God is completely alien to the Bible. Referring to Jesus as the Word of God is a platitude compared to the Aramaic idea of his being the Manifestation of God. The Aramaic is a world apart from our darkness. Alexander wants to open a door to a lighted room.

The young man is now looking for crowd funding for his movie ideas. The problem is "crowd" funding. Not much of a crowd. His most recent campaign, I believe, is https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-apostles. This sounds like a period piece. He also has plans for a contemporary piece, http://www.v-a.com/bible/AAC/story-of-eashoa-msheekha.html, which sounds better to me. Personally, I would prefer a movie from the Indian author of Mark's perspective, but that is in my head, not Alexander's.

If you have the time to listen to the above pitches, please do. If you have funds to contribute for the production of the movies, please do. (No, I do not get any of it; I just mention this for love of the Lord). If you are a richer person who could fund Alexander, please do. I want him to translate more of the Bible. And if you are interested in Victor's translations from the ancient Aramaic, I will admit they are not perfect, but they are a big step closer to what the authors of the Bible actually wrote. Alexander has a lot of notes at v-a.com/bible, and his translations can be purchased at http://www.v-a.com/bible/bible-order.html.

If you have a blog or other means of advertising this crowd funding, won't you please cut and paste the URLs
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-apostles and http://www.v-a.com/bible/AAC/story-of-eashoa-msheekha.html onto your site and make mention of them?

The Serpent Who Deceiveth the Whole World (Rev. 12: 9) is Our Ignorance!

The Lamb--Christ--became us by ignorancing itself, by forgetting that it is God. That "ignoranced" segment of Christ is the Serpent--the Wisdom of God--who deceiveth the whole world. Virtually our stupidity. It only has a short time to deceive us because we are destined to awaken and overcome it by generating into the likeness of the Ineffable. Who ascends but he who descended?

The power of life is in the blood (Leviticus 17: 11). Think of blood as actuality. The actuality of the oneness of God is our life. We overcome our ignorance by the blood--the actuality--of the Lamb who is in us. The ashes of a red heifer were in the water of the six stone water pots in Cana; it was water to be sprinkled on sinners for purification from sin. The servants aware of the Lamb find the water for purification has become wine--blood--its actuality. The best wine is the blood of the Lamb which washes us free from sin in actuality.

In your imagination, attitudes and emotions go to the actuality of your oneness with God before you imagine what you want. I think it will give you a taste of humility and gratitude and of purpose in your desires. Causation by imagining is not a game; it is patience on the part of the Eternal. Thank God for his patience, for this isn't history, it is actuality.

With thanks to Gani and Jesus of Nazareth: How Christ is the Serpent, the Deceiver of the Whole World

Gani in London asked my opinion about some fellow who thinks he is Jesus of Nazareth. Yes, that Jesus of Nazareth restored to flesh after 1900+ years. Sorry to prejudge a guy, but I knew before I got there what as going on. I checked his website and found that Jesus has a pretty cool business going. That is fine with me--even Jesus has to make a living. But Gani and I are into ontological metaphysics--natures that are real and true and what we are really doing here. What really is going on with Jesus? I thank Gani and dear ol' Jesus for making me come up with this:

It is not apparent that the young man has dropped a little too-much acid or puffs weed for breakfast. It does appear, though, that he is sincere and highly impressionable. And a spiritualist. Spiritualists are those who deal with disembodied spirits, mediumship, channeling, automatic writing and the like. They would say they deal with the occult. Christians would say they deal with the demonic. I told Gani Jesus is dealing with the fruits of dualism.

The Devil is in dualism. No, seriously. There is no Devil, no Satan, and no demons of course. . . except that we have forgotten that God is one, with ourselves and everything else included IN that one. We have ignorance from amnesia, and THAT is our adversary. It is not that we ourselves have forgotten, it is that Christ forgot when he became us, and his ignorance is the Devil, the Serpent who deceiveth the whole world. All of this takes a little explaining:

Everything seen and unseen, from the ineffable Source of the Source to the innumerable quarks of all universes in all time, are one transcendent thing--one transcendent Being: the Becoming God. The Ineffable No-thing is beyond description, but It desired form. Desire is imagining, and the Ineffable's imagining is Its action. This action has the power and the wisdom to accomplish all Its will. It is Power that is intelligent, and It knows what to do. The Power is not going to manifest the Ineffable's form "over there"; It is manifesting the Ineffable in form--emanating Itself. This is Christ: the Power that is intelligent which has become us.

"I don't look like Power that is intelligent." No, you don't, but you are. This Power at the beginning created God--the Heavens and the Earth. It created them by imagining that It was them--countless myriads of consciences imagining whatever the Ineffable would desire and innumerable respondent particles facilitating those imaginings. We are those consciences of God--of Christ--who imagined being man and have been facilitated.

Problem: how can one be Light, Life and Love and yet become the experience of man in this particularly dark plane of existence in order to elevate it to the pure state of the Ineffable? We had to forget what we are as God to be what we are as men and women. The Power in us has forgotten! This will get you dizzy trying to figure it out: Infinite God Who knows, and infinite God Who doesn't.

Fortunately, God can have his cake and eat it, too. Christ ignoranced works to fulfill the Ineffable's desire. We are born into this world sensing only ourselves and develop dualistic worldviews--however they are composed. We are separate from everything named, and if we should discover God, he is separate, too. The divine power of Christ--imagining--works, but we do not perceive it. We fear and dwell on things we either want or do not want, and they become. But the ignoranced Christ can only manifest as high as it can see--otherness instead of oneness: other spirits, other voices, other minds. The ignoranced, dualistic Christ is the wisdom of God, the "Serpent," who deceiveth the whole world.

It works, so we believe that we have found Him. It is called religion. I believe Jesus found that this Christ works and has bought a lot of stock. I do not blame him and he will probably have great dualistic success (he certainly has tapped into a great brand). I wouldn't give five Obama cents for it. I eschew religion. God SHOUTED to Neville, "Down with the bluebloods!" Down with thinking you are something you are not. Down with thinking you stand on your own. Down with thinking there is "other." GOD IS ONE!


There is no "Him" out there. What is out there is the rest of us, the infinite and eternal one, and It includes Christ who hasn't forgotten that he is God. If you never yet have, accept that Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior WITHIN you. We belong to him, because we ARE him: "our own, wonderful human imagination." When Adam did he was imbued with a conscience of right and wrong. Adam is an "everyman," an example for us all. God can't do much with us until we have a conscience, Jesus. And when you have a conscience of love and right and wrong, learn to practice revision. You will succeed, because the Ineffable is praying for you: "This day you will be with me in Paradise."

Hey, Gani, isn't that YOU? (The word 'gani' in Hebrew means "my garden.")

The Jewel in the Box

This story was shared by Marshall P. S. Wu in Michigan Today (University of Michigan, Summer, 2000). There are a number of ways to take it (see below).

"In ancient times there was a wealthy man who possessed all the blessings and trappings of wealth, yet still felt empty and unfulfilled. One day he gathered his family and announced that he was traveling to a faraway place in search of a great treasure. He left the next day, journeying many thousands of miles and experiencing all manner of tribulations. Finally, he found the treasure he sought--a precious jewel sitting in a beautifully ornate box. Overjoyed, he picked up the box and became fascinated by its tremendous appeal. Consumed by his preoccupation for the box, he cast the jewel aside and returned home with only the empty box."

Wu describes this as a tragedy, and I follow his inclination. We think the value of the jewel was missed. Mentally, I liken it to becoming engrossed with religion--a box--and missing the oneness of God that is in it. My lovely wife says no, the man already had all the trappings of wealth and was yet unfulfilled. The box gave him joy and fulfillment. The value of the jewel was superfluous to him; it was the joy of the box that he wanted and needed. It was the treasure to him.

I still think the value of the oneness of God (not knowledge about God's oneness, but the experience of that oneness--of being it) is the jewel missed. We already ARE one with God; it is awareness of this oneness we need to discover and are in this life journeying for. All the trappings of it, including knowledge about it, will leave us unfulfilled until we actually find and enter into that experience.
