Be the Master of Time: Refuse the Future, Reject the Past, Revise the Running End, and Settle with God's Way

Please watch “What is Reality? [Official Film]," from Quantum Gravity Research. They are (incidentally) validating things the ancients and Neville Goddard have said for ages scientifically. That is how I look at it, anyway. They make interesting observations.

For example, they seem to understand that all time is right now. They explain how the present and future influence the past, how all events are non-determined, that energy is intelligent, that matter changes states, and that all dimensions co-exist simultaneously. It turns out that modern quantum physics is but a reflection of what the ancients, whoever they were, taught long ago. Go figure.

And if so, the future is whatever we make it. Except it already exists. For that matter, the past, though it already exists, is also whatever we make it. Neville taught that if we do not like our present situation and its apparent trajectory into the future, we can change the future by changing our past. The people at Quantum Gravity Research seem agree. At just before 10:00 in the video, the young lady begins to explain how all time exists simultaneously. The block in the illustration is an especially interesting graphic. It suggests that time is a block which we are progressing through at a kazillion frames a second (like frames in a movie projection, and physically at well over one million miles per hour), BUT ALL OF THE FRAMES ALREADY EXIST. We do not see the frames ahead, nor those behind, but they all exist CONTINUOUSLY as we move through them, one to the next. What we call time is, “Roll the film,” and we are the movie.

Obviously, the frames at the end are connected to the frames at the beginning. We are somewhere in the middle. Now, the wild thing is that the connecting routes from the beginning to the end can vary in any of a kazillion different ways. They are not fixed (this is a maybe, unless you are a Calvinist, in which case they are). We can choose to go to the end as a rich person or as a poor person, happy or sad, healthy or sick, weak or strong, serving or selfish. However we go, we have immediate, running "ends" IN WHICH WE LIVE. These are the choices of our consciousness. We choose our routes, the running ends in which we live.

On page nineteen of The Law and the Promise, Neville Goddard shares the story of a woman who as a child had jumped from a swing and landed poorly, injuring herself. Many years later she was still suffering pain from that landing. Myriad treatments and adjustments had failed to bring lasting relief. Having heard from Neville that the past could be changed by consciousness, for it is consciousness, this lady undertook to return to that moment of her injury and to change it. It was not easy, but finally she attained consciousness of being the child she was again. She felt herself swing, the wind and the exhilaration, and jumped. And she landed correctly. She ran to get her mother to come and watch her, and again and again she swung and jumped correctly. "Mommy" was impressed, and the woman slept. In the days following, she was healed. She had changed her past, and her route was now through a different running end, one which had had no injury.

Whatever happens can be refused by us. Whatever happens can be rejected by us. Past, present, or future. We cannot reject or refuse to go to the end - scripture is fulfilled - but we can reject how we are going to get there if we do not like it. Whatever is going to be is going to be from the past. If we do not like its apparent future, we can change what is from our past. We are the masters of time.

We ought not force anything, though. We make our PETITION known to God by imagining, and ACCEPT his way.

Rightness: Be Correct or Right in What You Do Because It IS the Right Thing to Do = Be Like God

I think we have the wrong idea about the ideas of righteousness in the Bible. I read somewhere (I hope I can find it in my notes) that the Hebrew words translated 'righteous' and 'righteousness' really only mean right. As in everything God does is right, and we are supposed to be like that. That is, it is right simply because it is the fit, proper, and "right" thing to do.  As in: it is right to honor one's father; it is right to care about one's family and one's neighbors; it is right to believe God's promises and to trust in Him; it is right to hunger after being right like God. We are to do right, to think right thoughts, to act right like God does, because he is right.

So when I come to the words righteous and righteousness, I apply this thought of being and doing right - more of manifesting right-ness like God than having an attitude of righteousness.

Troubled Seeing Neville Goddard

I saw Neville Goddard in a dream this morning. He was swinging on a swing. He stopped because he had swallowed a tooth. “Not your anchor tooth, I hope,” I asked him. “No. Another one in the back.” I noticed he was elderly, a bit frail, stooped, and ashen. I helped him to a store. An old bookstore thickly shelved and stacked with the old-fashioned kind of books. The store was large but decrepit. The aisles were dirty and in need of cleaning, and oddly there was no functioning toilet.

What I get out of this is the old knowledge Neville got a taste of in his studies is being lost. People do not thirst for a comprehensive understanding of the Bible: “Just give me a verse,” or nothing at all. Everyone wants just a summary, a synopsis, to cut right to the conclusion without effort. “Read? I’ll search for a video. Oh, no. Too long.”

I admit to being a caption scientist in that what I know about science comes from reading pictures' captions. I know I do not know much about electromagnetic fields and quantum physics, but I am dismayed by people who have only seen a headline and say, "Oh, yeah, I know all about that," and stoop their head to resume flicking their smart phone.

Interesting Things to Think About #10: Some Porn Sites Link to The Becoming God Blog

Blogger.com provides The Becoming God Blog with analytical tools, such as lists of the most-popular articles and which URLs and web sites refer people to this site. I have noticed for some time that a substantial portion of The Becoming God Blog's referring websites--enough to be way up on the lists--are porn sites. I am not sure what to make of this. I didn't even know it was possible for them to direct their visitors here; don't know how it would work. God bless them for finding a way.

I do not mind, of course. The whole world is the Ineffable's image--God's Manifestation--and God is imaged (for better or worse) by everything, including sex. Maybe even primarily by sex. My missionary side leans heavily toward teaching people the necessity of moral integrity and faithfulness, honor, respect, and fidelity in all relations in manifesting the Ineffable's natural characteristics. We are the Ineffable's manifestation--that is what we are doing here--but it does not yet appear how we are to do that perfectly. We are being generated to manifest the Ineffable more perfectly, not just do whatever we want to do.

God is interested enough in us to have become us, and in Jesus Christ (the anointing of the Life-giver, YHWH, upon us) to bless us. It is right for us to respond to this loving, providing Fatherhood of God with honor and respect and by doing something which demonstrates our recognition of this relationship. This doing of something is not payment in the sense of earning anything through works; it is a display of our recognition, honor, and loving respect, because God would have us manifest rightness and propriety.

To demonstrate their honor, some people observe a rules, like the laws of Hammurabi or Moses. Some go to church and study the Bible diligently. Some go on missions, teach, organize relief for the needy, offer legal or medical help, offer their tithes or support, or abstain from various pleasures. Whatever people are doing to please God, well, there you go.

By the way, I should explain one thing about this blog: the title 'The Becoming God' does not refer to us becoming God, but to the fact that God Itself is becoming fully manifest into the excellence the spiritual part of It already is. That becoming-ness is where everything has come from. Everything is the act of God's becoming. Its excellence is working out bit by bit. The term 'God,' in fact, is a verb referring to this action of the Ineffable. Godding is what we are supposed to be doing! For we also are the Ineffable in the act of Godding, i.e., becoming by our imagination.

This site is about the Ineffable we are becoming manifest more perfectly in and through us. My aim in it is to move us from our observation of God into our participation as God. I believe that is what the Vedas, Moses, Gautama, and Confucius were all about. We are not supposed to have a God in our mental "God-place," nor the conception of a separate being at any distance divided from ourselves, no separate God or Buddha or principle. For there is no God separate from us. "He," the No-thing beyond us and we are ONE. We also are no-thing, as is the Thing we are of.

Participating as the No-thing calls for humility and submission to It. It also calls for relearning how to imagine as a little child, in a waking dream state (theta-level consciousness) where the dream is especially vivid and what is to be accomplished is assumed to be already done. I hope you enjoy this blog.

Welcome.

A Note to Maia

From Maia's Comment:

Hi Dan,

I've been following your blog since I had my awakening with Neville in June 2018.

I've found myself in a rut and wondered if you had experience or advice.

Essentially, I came to this awakening through being disappointed that a man I thought I was in love was absolutely NOT good for me. In not being able to accept that, I went to LOA stuff to try to "manifest" him back and as a good fit for me. I found Neville, and in sheer desperation, put in so much effort imagining that I suddenly imagined myself into the realization I was God. Neville talks about this, in that our desire for power is often the first step. Since then I can imagine so many things that happen, and they happen almost instantaneously - like, find my hat - I imagine holding my hat. "ladder experiment" type stuff. I KNOW it's true. But I feel sabotaged when it comes to imagining and assuming things like happiness, being wanted, confidence, wealth, etc. It's like demons try to shut me down and I see saw from happy to sad.

And after that initial Power I discovered, I crashed - perhaps into the lesson of Love? I realized no matter how powerful I was, it wasn't about changing this person but going into the state itself and letting God develop in Me.

However, ever since this disappointment and turnaround, when I start to imagine and assume the state I want so much (of being happily married to my helpmeet, being wanted, confident, etc - definitely have dealt with depression, powerlessness, and low self worth as a young woman), I find I lose my motivation and my focus. I feel zapped of energy and still in want, still focused on specific men, and when I try to put myself into the state of the end without specific individuals, it's shaky at best.

Today, I'm sad and depressed about another love disappointment. I know I'm being taught and shaped and tested for The Promise - and I'm in A LOT better of a place than I was since before June, maybe then I EVER was - but I really feel I'm passing through "hell" like Neville says, that my imagining skills are awful, and it's all just tiring.

How can I get my energy and focus back? It's so much easier for me to imagine love with these specific people, for example, because I am so attached to their form and think "if only they shift and change to fit what I need" - but I don't think that's right. Are there any stories of difficulty and hopelessness in the bible you can help and relate to Truth as expressed by Neville? Any guidance on how to manage heartbreak and emotions?

I know I just need to keep doing it and get back on the horse. But :( . It feels hard and lonely and I'm tired of NOT having what I want.

Maia
_______________________________________

Maia,

Congratulations on awakening. It is a beginning, isn't it? Just like when we first became Christians and began to grow in that.

I am no Ann Landers (newspaper advice columnist). I'm not a certified counsellor, psychologist, nor a minister, and have very little experience as a young woman looking for love (hormones, though, I do understand). So take my opinions and speculations with a grain of salt. I am listening and considering. You sound rational and mature, and obviously analytical. Perhaps you will find something useful in my rantings.

One reason you cannot control others as you have tried is they also are God. You know that. Sabotage comes FROM OUR OWN IGNORANCE. "Where am I ignorant in this?" is a good question to pose to the Lord (your imagination, a la Mark Virkler) when things seem to fail. God puts these things which challenge us in front of us so that we might find him in and/or through them.

Note in the sentence above that it is all for him. We are all for him, too. This is all about him. We are his/Its manifestation. How does he want to manifest? is another good question.

It might be in a) effort; and/or b) focus; or c) the wanting in "the state I want so much."

A) Somewhere Neville spoke about not putting effort into the process of enjoying the end state desired. Praise, rejoice, feel satisfied, but do not feel effort. Theta is dream state. Imagination, not work.

B) Perhaps you are not sure just what you do want. The feeling of being married, loved, secure, pride may be nebulous, or in conflict with other things you want--career, travel, etc.. Saint Augustine famously said, "Lord, make me pure, but not yet."

C) It is probably difficult if not impossible to not want what you do not yet have even when you are imagining the having of it. If you are there still feeling want and tired of not having what you want, you are going to manifest it. Our sub-consciousness really isn't that blind. We might need to somehow make it blinder, more fooled by more tones of reality. Jacob went with the requested food, hair, clothes, odors, stories and answers--the whole nine yards--to fool Isaac.

I would not have any advice on how to manage heartbreak and emotions. Other than revalue yourself according to God's value on you and involve yourself in work and/or ministry. You are tired of not having what you want. I heard the other day a woman in Africa say she was so tired of not having ANYTHING. One other thing, of course, is to pray in the Holy Spirit. Even if you know that you are God, and you are, you still need to be imbued with the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Sender sent the Sender AS the Sent (us), and imbues That-Made-Ignorant (us) with Its own consciousness. It (Its own consciousness) is already GIVEN. It only needs to be received.

Last thing: regarding energy and focus: I mentioned above that it is all about God, not us even though we are God. Well, it is about us, but not what we think or want. It is about us as we manifest Him. The stories in the Bible that come to mind are about children--what is coming out of our lives. In 1 Kings 17 Elijah, the Power of God, was sent to a woman. Her son was dying, and Elijah positioned himself face to face with the kid three times, and the kid was restored. In Mark 5 Jairus call Jesus to heal his daughter. As the woman with the issue of blood, she is as dead. Jesus--YHWH's anointing--enters and raises her up. She is now as a twelve-year-old. (This reminds me of the restoration of Sarah, who became young again to bear Isaac.) My point: find your love in God, as Solomon did, and he will give you everything else you could have asked for. I guess that is pretty much what Emmet Fox said in the Golden Key.

Interesting Things to Think About #9: The Prophet is You

Prophecy is not foretelling the future; it is speaking as God. Jews have never been impressed by all the "prophecies" supposedly fulfilled by Jesus Christ because most of them were not prophecies at all. I believe there was a prophet or were prophets at the end of the Season of Grace, but we possibly have no real record of him or them.

We are stuck, though, with this prophecy from Deuteronomy 18:15: "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken" (KJV). As I said in my previous post (and according to Neville Goddard), ”Moses” is the germ of the Gospel in us. This characteristic in man once played out in the writing of the Pentateuch, and then the Old Testament, but it is a general quality inherent in each of us.

We all have that germ of the Gospel in the midst of us. Each of us is a Moses, for Moses is a quality of God, and we all are God. The prophet Moses speaks about also arises in the midst of us . . . in the head-ball, as it were. Christians are quick to jump to the conclusion that the only prophet whom Moses could be referring to is Jesus. Well, yes, but my point is that that is, again, us. Each individual.

As 'Moses' played out in the writing of the scriptures, what prophet played out in the writing of the New Testament? How about the author of the Book of Mark? Just as the Book of Genesis was actually about Moses‘ psychological development, the Book of Mark was likewise about its author’s psychological development. Just a higher level, a higher order than Moses’. The author of the Book of Mark was, in my opinion, an Indian Therapeut Buddhist missionary to Israel who learned the true ancient Jewish religion, and then, using Gautama Buddha as his model and example (just as Genesis' author used the true historical Moses as his model and example), WROTE OF HIS OWN EXPERIENCES IN CHRIST. The Book of Mark is autobiographical.

My point is that the “prophet” who enters into the living relationship with the Holy Spirit is us. The 'prophet' is inherently resident in each of us. We carry the germ of the Gospel, and we carry the germ of the Life from on High. Our inner man speaks on behalf of God. As God.

Here is a short clip from a biography of Vivekananda:

"Our Master (Vivekananda) used to laugh at himself for the strength of the impression that this dream had made on him. But he could never shake it off. The fact that the second of the two etymologies
has been lost is deeply to be regretted. The Swami had to say that before he had had this
dream, it had never occurred to him to doubt that the personality of Christ was strictly historic.
We must remember, however, that according to Hindu philosophy, it is the completeness of an
idea that is important, and not the question of its historical authenticity. The Swami once asked
Sri Ramakrishna, when he was a boy, about this very matter. "Don't you think," answered his
Guru, "that those who could invent such things were themselves that?" (emphases mine).

And from the author of Mark from the ancient Aramaic (Victor N. Alexander's translation, with my cut-and-paste corrections):

Mark 1
1. The beginning of the Revelation* of Jesus Christ,* Son of God. [Lit. "He (the Father) reveals the anointed Life-Giving, Living Branch (the anointed Life-Giver)."} 2. As it was written by Isaiah the Prophet, that, "Behold, I shall send my messenger before your face, to lay out your path. 3. "The voice that cries in the wilderness, 'Consecrate the path of the Lord, and lay down his avenues.' " 4. There was John in the wilderness, and he preached the Baptism of Grace for the forgiveness of sins. 5. And there came out to him all the inhabitants of Judea and the children of Jerusalem, and he baptized them in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.

6. John wore clothes made from camel hair and tied a leather belt on his back, and his food was the grasshoppers and honey of the wilderness. 7. And he preached and said, "Behold, there comes one after me, who is mightier than me, whom I am not even worthy of untying the belts of his sandals ("...not worthy of being his servant"). 8. "I baptize you with water, however he will baptize you by the holy Spirit.

9. And it happened in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee ("Nussrat d'Ga-lee-la," meaning, "Victorious Revelation."), and he was baptized in the Jordan River by John. 10. And at once when he rose from the water, he saw the heaven split open and the Spirit like a dove descending over him. 11. And the voice from heaven, "You are my beloved Son, in you I am fulfilled." 12. And at once the spirit drove him to the wilderness. 13. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, as he was tempted by Satan, and he was with beasts and the angels ministered to him.

14. After John was betrayed, Jesus came to Galilee, and preached the Hope of the Kingdom of God,
15. And he said, "The Age has ended ("The season is finished," "Time is up," or in
other words, "The Age of the Old Testament is over."), and the Kingdom of God has
arrived. Repent and believe in the Hope [of Salvation.]

*1:1.1 Literal Aramaic idiomatic (Lit. Ar. id.) name: "Awon-galee-yoon," or He Reveals.
*1:1.2 Lit. Ar. id. name "Eashoa'," meaning "The Life-Giving, Living Branch," and,
"M'shee-khah, "The Anointed One." For simplicity, then, in the proper English syntax
"The Anointed Life-Giver."
*1:7 Lit. Ar. idiomatic expression retained: "...not worthy of being his servant."
*1:9 Lit. Ar. names, "Nussrat d'Ga-lee-la," meaning, "Victorious Revelation."
*1:15 Lit. Ar. idiomatic figure of speech: "The season is finished," "Time is up," or in
other words, "The Age of the Old Testament is over."
_________________________________

The Age of Moses comes to its natural close, and we move on to the Life in the Holy Ghost! "Mark," the Indian Buddhist missionary, got it! We are the Prophet Moses spoke of! Get it!

Interesting Things to Think About #8: Mizpah Means Keep Your Nose Clean

All the Characters in Genesis are psychological facets of one person: Moses. 'Moses' is the germ of the Gospel in you or I. So they are us. Abram was doing pretty well. With Laughter (joy and confidence of faith in assumption) he became the Merciful Father. He sent his inner man (Jacob) to be made white (Laban)--right. Jacob shepherded sacrificial thoughts (goats) to win Laban's daughters. He learned to look at (imagine) things which then became. Returning to the flesh, he took along some unclean baggage (idols). Laban stopped and warned him: Mizpah while you are away from me. 'Mizpah' is that like a watchman on a tall watchtower, God sees what you are doing. So keep your nose clean.

Interesting Things to Think About #7: Jesus is Allaha's (God's) Anointing

Hard to believe, but true: "No character of scripture ever had a personal history" (Neville Goddard). That is, no character of scripture ever had a personal history except yours. Because the stories of scripture are about God. The signs, symbols, and allegories are of OUR psychological realities. Because YHWH, our God, YHWH is one . . . us included.

'Christ,' Messiah, is a spiritual anointing upon us. There is the big Provider Guy, Eil (Aramaic) the Shaddai, who I liken to the intelligence resident in the universal electromagnetic field. He is the main imagination power over the sent flames of imagination (Elohim)--us (being one, we also are Elohim). Imagination is a verb, an action! The flow of this action into manifestation and reflection unto Eil is a circuit in Its nature, YHWH.

YHWH is a nature, a function of principle: it is a principle of Eil to manifest. Eashoa (Aramaic), Life-giver (English: Jesus), is a function in the nature of YHWH. The letter shin in Jesus' Hebrew name (Yeshua) represents the nature of being a fire or tooth consuming what is in the way. Ayin is an eye watching--providence--to provide, to orchestrate manifestation in the place where something was in the way. Jesus Christ, the anointing of YHWH upon us, accomplishes these actions, for Jesus was and is God's anointing upon man.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, STEELE, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

There certainly was a Jesus Christ at the end of the Season of Grace. There always was, is, and will be Jesus Christ, the anointing of God's consciousness upon man, but the Season of Grace made it APPARENT. It was apparent to Mark. I hold Mark to have been an Indian Therapeutae (from Sanskrit Theraputa: Sons of the Elder Monks), one of a team of Buddhist missionary healers who found their way to Israel and to Egypt to found an order there among the Jews.

Mark learned the truth of ancient Judaism, that God is the all-inclusive one (see CLT, the Christian Lindtner Theory: jesusisbuddha.com). He created "Jesus Christ" to teach the Jews of their religion's true meaning and used as his example Gautama Buddha dressed as a Jew. That is why Mark is so Buddhist bent that many believe that Jesus, who did not even exist as an individual, must have traveled to India and studied Buddhism. He didn't go, but Mark came.

I believe the Buddhist missionaries' Jesus was based upon a real Jewish man (or men), upon whom God's anointing was apparent at the culmination of the Season of Grace. The real man, the culmination guy(s), was born JUST AS WE ALL ARE--God in complete ignorance. But the Palestinian milieu near the end of the Season of Grace was so rife with a feverish pitch to prepare for the coming Messiah that THEY GOT IT ALL WRONG. They expected a Messiah as a guy, but got a Messiah as an anointing. Messiah is the Anointing of YHWH upon anyone. They expected a specific guy to arrive or arise. You can wait forever for the wrong thing.

The hardest thing is to reconcile what Mark is saying with what is expected of the culmination guy. The ancient scriptures are exceedingly clear that the Messiah guy BECOMES such AFTER dying. He has to be transfigured after his sorrows. NEITHER. HE. NOR. YOU. HAVE. TO. DIE. except to your ambitions, selfish greed, and individual self-lordship. Your sorrows are in this life, as is your transfiguration. Our death is to self, to being independent of God. It is found in whole-hearted submission to Him. You allow whatsoever conception you think you are to die, and you accept God's anointing upon you to guide and direct His life you are living.

It is only in Victor Alexander’s translation from the ancient Aramaic that we learn that Jesus did not say of his “death” to self desires, “Why have you forsaken me,” but “To this I was destined!” (stated as "For this you destined me" in his Story of Jesus).

Interesting things to Think About: Comment and Response Regarding #6: What is Vibrating? Attitude! In Assumption!

Dear friend,

I send you a greeting from Argentina. I've seen your posts, not all, but some, and they have fascinated me.

I would like to know your opinion about Non-Duality (Advaita Vedanta, Shivaism of Kashmir, Dzogchen, Sufism, etc.) because I have a series of theories that I would like to order. Regarding this, I mention that I admire Neville Goddard a lot. If you do not know him, he is a great Western mystic who has absorbed much of the oriental knowledge, as has the teacher Gurdjieff, from whom I have learned the Enneagram. My questions for you dear friend, would be the following:

1) What is non-duality for you? Which of all its branches do you consider the most important? What books do you recommend about this?
2) What is the enneagram for you?
3) How would you relate the non-dual worldview of reality and the use of the enneagram?

Understanding that Gurdjieff speaks of the octaves as a level of reality, everything that I see at this moment, the events that happen to me, the people with whom I relate, etc. that is to say, all my current reality correspond to this "frequency", tone (octave) that I am emitting. If I change the octave, that is, if I raise my vibrational level, does it change everything around? That is, other events happen to me, I see the best version of the people around me? If I go up, upload everything with me?

I hope you understand I am using the Google translator (because I speak Spanish), and I await your response. Congratulations for what you are doing.

Additional question: Is there any relationship between our Native Americans and the Shiva of Kashmir (India)?

Can I find you on Facebook?

Dear Radio 101.1 FM,

Thank you for your comment and questions. I am very familiar with Neville Goddard. Non-dualism appears in Advaita Vedanta, Shivaism of Kashmir, Dzogchen, Sufism, Judaism, Christianity, etc., in their mystic occurrence, because it is the only real thing that is going on. Non-dualism is the reality God has been drawing the whole world's attention to throughout history. Succinctly, we are Him and He is us.

What is non-duality? There is an ineffable beingness, a consciousness which is becoming manifest of its own resources. There is not anything other than that. The universe is that becoming. No matter how far up you go, there is no break in the continuity between the highest and the lowest. "God is one" is all-inclusive.

The Enneagram is a way of looking at basic personality traits developed in childhood which continue through a person’s lifetime if not acted upon; i.e., if the person does not leave them upon maturing. When we grow up to become a man or woman, we put away the childish things. The Enneagram does not serve much purpose except to indicate some ways in which one’s person may be improved from its truncated state.

In my opinion, everything about vibration is a lie. In NONE of the religions I am aware of is vibration ever even mentioned, and that would not be because they didn’t know about it . . . if it existed as a factor. No, they say to follow the Law, to practice vedanta, dharma, rightness, and to "love YHWH thy God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength." If I may use the crude vernacular, vibration is unmitigated bullshit. It is put forth as doctrine by manifestations of the Ignorance — demons — to distract, deceive, and delude. We are supposed to be becoming aware of what the Ineffable Most High is so that we may become that, too. We can either look at the nonsense of vibration, or at the nature and characteristics of the Ineffable. Which are you going to choose?

I am not saying that we do not transmit from our hearts and minds into the consciousness which is resident in the electromagnetic field. We transmit our whole being into that consciousness constantly. But that transmission is ourselves--attitudes, opinions, desires, needs, affections--much more than any "vibration." When God responds, He speaks our language. And He does respond as a deliberate, discriminating, conscious person--mano y mano. There is no impersonal power or force out there.

We were the Imagination of the Ineffable, not knowing what we actually were. Vibration is the essence of the Ignorance (capital ‘i’) from our ancient, pre-incarnate state (see Neville Goddard's lecture, "Unless I Go Away"; we started out like the sunflowers). We are supposed to be overcoming this Ignorance, not majoring in it. I do not believe in a personal Satan, but if there were one, all this vibration b.s. would be his signature work. Do not worry about your vibration, rejoice in your knowledge of God. For the Kingdom of God has to do with ATTITUDES.

So yes, apart from vibration, if one takes on the attitudes commonly ASSOCIATED with raising one’s vibration, he or she will create a better version of the world, because he or she will be better. In ASSUMPTION one is communicating to God a new being which He has become, and God (as one with them) causes HIS manifestation to become. THAT is non-dualism.

Sorry, I have no Facebook page. I might in the future. The only books I know of about non-duality are the Bible, properly read, and God is a Verb: Kabbalah and the Practice of Mystical Judaism by David A. Cooper (1997, New York: Riverhead Books; http://www.penguinputnam.com).
