Isaiah 6: Dissatisfaction and the Train that "Fills" the Temple

Neville Goddard said the world is the appeasement of hunger. We are dissatisfied, so we imagine something better: "I will do this," or "I will do that." We imagine change. What we have received of the Lord's strength hitherto (the death of Uzziah) has died of its power to satisfy. We want something more, something different, something better.

It was the floor plan of the building, its design, that was the "temple" of God. It was the design of a man: THE Man. YHWH was high and lifted up in the temple, exalted as the Man in the mind of the Ineffable, and the train of his robes covered the temple. Robes that cover? That is all we may imagine in our dissatisfaction on the way to becoming him! We certainly are not going to become the Perfect Manifestation of the Ineffable Most High God, the Source of all, the End-Man in one fell swoop. It is more than an all-day project. Everything in his "robes" is good, right, and holy toward that final goal. It is the sea of good and acceptable possibilities.

When we face adversity, affliction, and futility, it makes us hungry. Hungry for better. This is not our hunger; it is the Ineffable's hunger -- hunger to attain to Its perfect and complete manifestation: "Come on. Let's GO!" He appeases his hunger with our imagining of good potentials. Although everything short of the ultimate goal is sin -- missing the mark (unclean "lips," for it is by the imagination that we "speak.") -- God says, "That's okay, just keep reaching upward toward the perfection that is your destiny to fulfill. You will get there eventually, and I by you." Think nobility, goodness, right, benevolence, patience, love.

Which reminds me of the vav (waw) in YHWH and the faith of the mustard seed. I personally believe that YHWH is not pointed or spoken because it is not a word. I know it means "his becoming," but I think that is a necessary consequence of its inner meaning. 'Y' is the Life-force of the Ineffable, 'H' his desire to manifest, 'W' his power to transcend from intelligence/thought into being, and 'H' his being what he thought (hello, that would be us). Put them all together and they spell "his becoming." "When it works (when you imagine what you want, and receive it), you have found Him" (Neville Goddard; parenthesis mine).

This is like the faith of the little mustard seed. It is not that the seed has little faith yet prevails to become big; it is that the little seed BELIEVES/IMAGINES IT IS A MUSTARD and a mustard is a big plant.

There is a vertical transcendence by which the Ineffable intends manifestation in this horizontal plane. We are wondering all over the place in our ignorance, imagining things amiss. Vav, the power of the intelligence to become what it imagines, is the nail or peg which attaches our being to the manifesting power of the Almighty. Believe a good thing, for faith will rock your world!
