Providence

Providence is proof that God is not a non-judgmental, neutral force in the universe. Providence provides, guides, and protects. Providence is a conscious, active, directive Being. Providence is why I reject the notion of a mundane law of attraction magnetically arranging all the things in our lives. Because Providence arranges through conscious orchestration; it displays deliberate, definite, and distinctive purpose in directing and coordinating things and events. And on occasion, Providence speaks. Not many non-judgmental, neutral forces in the universe actually can and will speak our language directly into the brain's nervous system apart from the mind's imagination. That is CONSCIOUS use of transcendent power, not a "higher vibe."

Of Providence's manifest response to our prayers, Neville Goddard said, "When it works, you have found Him." Work is indicative of Its power.

It helps a lot to know the vocabulary of God. That is something that takes awhile to learn. We learn what he does in the Bible and in events and situations in our lives. Those are his words. I sometimes have to laugh when a second or third lesson comes up about some subject I had recently and quite suddenly become interested in, sparked perhaps by some person's comment or question. While I am entertaining questions about the subject, ideas come unbidden into my mind during my shower (or just about any other moment during the day). I gain insights as the subject becomes something of a "word," and then someone comes into my life with a problem or question. Answers are given, problems are solved, progress in our lives is made.

Providence is way ahead of us. Way, way, way ahead of us. That is why answers are found in the Bible/Torah codes. I might not know why I made a particular decision I did years ago, but decades later I find that if not that decision then, then not this Providential situation now. Frequently I am left scratching my head and pondering: "How'd You do that?"

Intelligence. Was it a couple of years ago already that I had the marvelous insight that everything is the Ineffable's intelligence? Everything is Its imagining. The Ineffable's imagining, Its intelligence, is the power to become what is imagined. That is, intelligence can physically manifest what it thinks it is. I had the delightful yet somewhat eerie experience of watching my somewhat shorter left arm grow out to match the other. I watched it move. How it moved, I do not know: new atoms added? rearrangement of the cells? relaxing of some muscles? I do not know, but I did watch it, and it grew out about a half-inch or more. I don't know if it has anything to do with that miracle, but the hairs on that arm are still brown, while all the others are now white.

Everything is the Ineffable's intelligence becoming. It imagining. I had accepted a shorter arm because I never really thought about it. Never challenged it. It just was what it was from my past, and the Ineffable was okay with my accepting Its imagining it that way. Charles Hunter said that Jesus could fix it, I thought that a good idea, and Charles asked Jesus to make the shorter arm to match the longer. The Ineffable, "Jesus" to me, imagined my arms matching, and they did. Its intelligence became a longer arm. The night I had this insight that the Ineffable's intelligence is everything, I said in my mind to the intelligence, "You can heal me (of a shoulder pain)," and it did. Silently, instantly. It thought I was without pain, and I became that. Non-judgmental, neutral forces in the universe do not respond on cue to the name Jesus, to faith expressed as requests without effort, whether spoken or simply thought. Providence does. There is a wonderful Guy there, and a wonderful Gal, too.
