Do Not Doubt the Outside Messiah
It is hard not to perceive either Christ, the Messiah, as being separate from us in time and space. He isn't, but it is hard to not perceive and conceptualize him as "remote." Neville Goddard repeatedly insisted that if when you hear the words God, Jesus, Christ, Savior, or Messiah you thought of a being outside or other than yourself, you have the wrong God and the wrong Jesus. He was right, but even Neville was embraced by God as a separate figure outside of himself: Love hugged him, and Neville became fused with It. God was inside -- this was in Neville's imagination -- but he perceived God as being outside. And God was cool with that. In another vision, Neville was betrayed while teaching, and a Being came and nailed him to the wall. His crucifixion was "pure ecstasy," but it was by an outside being, though it happened inside his mind.
I am a great fan of T. L. Osborn, who, after he and his wife Daisy failed miserably as missionaries to India, came to see Christ in the Bible and Christ in a man (William M. Branham), and, appearing to T. L. alone in his bedroom with Daisy, Jesus standing in his glory. T. L. saw him; Daisy saw nothing but T. L. T. L. saw Jesus as separate and outside, as have many, many others. In his imagination?
I sat in The House of Praise on a Sunday morning and imagined Jesus being scourged and crucified. I saw him as outside, but as the spike was about to be driven into his arm he turned his face toward me and said, "Come unto Me." I heard it in my audible hearing, but it did not come through either ear. No one else heard him that morning. Christ was outside . . . and inside.
We are in a "now" that is moving through time between two Christs, the one who became us and the one whom we are becoming. They are real, the power and the wisdom of God in the intention of the Ineffable Most High for his emanation to become manifest. You can count on it. We are not quite either one in the extremes that they are, and yet we are both. DO NOT THINK THAT YOU CANNOT CALL UPON EITHER ONE TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF. HE IS INSIDE, AND HE IS OUTSIDE. HE DOESN'T CARE WHICH WAY YOU SEE HIM, FOR MOST CERTAINLY YOU WILL EVENTUALLY SEE THAT HE IS EVERYTHING. And so are you.
Have a merry Christmas, son of Mary.
