Causation by Imagining: Was It Given Unto Man?

24. And God (the Ineffable's Consciousness) said, "Let the earth (experience-facilitating matter) produce living souls (states) in harmony with its nature, herds and four-legged animals and creatures of the earth, according to their kind," and it was so. 25. And so God created the creatures of the earth according to their kind, and the herd animals according to their kind, and all the four-legged animals according to their kind, and God saw that they (the states) were beautiful. 26. And God said, "We shall make the human being in the image of our likeness (consciousness), and they shall have authority (formative power of causative imagination) over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky and the herds and all the creatures of the earth and all the four-legged animals that walk on the earth."

27. And God created the human being to resemble* (Adam; i.e., to portray or image) His own visage (imagination); He created them male and female* (Lit. Ar. idiomatic construction: "And there created God to Adam with His visage [imagination], in the visage [imagination] of God He created him, male and female [these are not human sexes, but God's 'blood' (consciousness) with its creative Life-power, 'Eve'] He created them [God became man]"). 28. And God blessed them and said to them, "Multiply and increase (THOUGHT!), and fill the earth and its environments, and have authority (causative imagination) over the fish in the sea and the birds of the sky and the four-legged animals and all the creatures that crawl over the earth."*

29. And God said, "Behold, I give you (ignoranced Me) a) every plant with seeds that is sown on the face of all the earth, and b) every fruit bearing tree whose seeds are planted, for you to be a source of food. 30. "And [I give you] c) all the creatures of the wilderness and d) all the birds of the sky and e) everything that walks the earth that has a living soul, f) and all the herds for food," and it was so. 31. And God saw all that He created, and, behold, it was truly beautiful. And that was the evening and the morning of the sixth eon" (Genesis 1:24-31 Alexander, notes incorporated, blue text mine).

It is all psychological! Manifestations in earth's nature of what we think, imagine, and believe, in their various realms and responses. Is a plant with seeds sown on the earth incidental thought, as opposed to a fruit-bearing tree whose seeds are planted intentionally as an investment? Are c, d, and e randomly caught, and f, herds, nurtured?

Well, that was the sixth. The seventh, wherein we rested to allow God to do it, was a blowout. Now the eighth has broached, wherein we may (must) repent and do the seventh in resurrection - His nature. A do-over with power! Go for it, dude! Be the Merciful Father (which is the meaning of 'Abraham').

The Eternity of God’s Self-Propagation

We recur throughout eternity. There is no end as such. The burning bush just keeps spreading branches without end. Moses saw eternity. It doesn't go out. When this universe evaporates, another will begin, branching out anew. It is God's Self-propagation. We will this there, too. It is ceaseless.

Neville Goddard Had To Wait

Neville had to wait. Not for fulfillment, but for operation. For he had faith in the technique, that when he did it, it would happen then. He did not want to leave Barbados yet. So he waited.

After World War II, Neville visited his family home in Barbados with his wife and his daughter. He wanted to stay for some months. His family was incredulous: "You came here from New York, and you didn't book fare back to New York while you were there? You could be stuck here for months, for years." Neville knew they were not familiar with the technique, so he kept quiet. He had faith in the technique. So he intentionally and purposefully put it off, because he did not want to leave Barbados at that time. He put his name on the long list of people desiring passage.

After his months long visit, it was time to go. He knew the technique would be immediately effective. He went to the docks to see the ship he would take at anchor. He saw the tender travel out to the ship, and the people climbing up and down the gangway. He and his family would have to do that in order to leave. Then he went home and imagined it - riding the tender, climbing the gangway with his wife and daughter, and looking farewell to his old, beloved family home, perhaps for the last time. He climbed the salty gangway holding his daughter over and over until it was as really real as real in his imagination, and fell asleep.

"Hello. Yes, this is Neville Goddard. Tomorrow at noon? Yes, we can be there. Thank you." No, that is not verbatim what he said, but he was on the next ship out.

Faith in the technique: is that idolatry? Witchcraft or sorcery? It is faith in God. Belief and obedience.

Israel is an Everyman: the Illustration then must have a Conclusion like the Season of Grace

I hope you have understood in your studies that Israel is a type, an illustration of every man - an everyman. Israel is you; you can find yourself in there somewhere. In Daniel 9, the illustration Israel is is used in an illustration, the Season of Grace, of what is going on in every man. From the going forth of the commandment to build the holy city every man is (the destiny every man is from the Beginning), comes the Season's conclusion in the birth, life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus the Anointing. According to Victor Alexander's translations of Mark 15:34 and Matthew 27:46, Jesus affirms his faith that "to this destiny (crucifixion) you have left me." Sorry, no forsaking, just the required completion.

That's the thing here: an illustration, in order to be complete, has to be completed. In the illustration the Season of Grace was, Christ died, the Temple was destroyed. Individually, we can do that in Christ. One died for all, therefore all died...if one partakes by faith. If Christ is rejected, there is the illustration the nation of Israel is, which to be the completed illustration has to go through the historical conclusion. You don't really want to do that.

The Ineffable One exists in at least three states: the Father, Its Spirit/Consciousness, and the Son/Manifestation. There isn't any distance or separation between these modes, they are simply the three spirit forms or states the Ineffable exists in, is forming and developing Himself in and through. They include us. Just as He flips/exists in all, so can we. So MUST we. We are His illustration after all. And He is not away from us. Only our heads aren't getting it. So we have to go open (not anywhere else) to Him by faith. HERE He is.

Flips of the Ineffable and the Seventh-day Advent

The Ineffable Being has a plan of Self-development. It intends to generate Its own manifestation, Itself in another state. The plan's outline is Genesis 1. With Its Consciousness as Its Son, the Beginning, the Ineffable flips into - becomes - 'God,' the 'Heavens,' and the 'Earth.' God is His governing activity - imagination. The Heavens are Mind, and the Earth is this facilitating particulate stuff His Intelligence becomes. That is how I see it, anyway.

The seventh day is rest to allow God to accomplish all the plan, the advent of it, the resurrection in the Manifestation of the Ineffable Being. The Ineffable flips into this state, then flips this state into Itself, where It is BOTH. The plan is already done: all boundaries, manners, and methods to accomplish it are already determined. We are just kind of floating in the flip while it happens in this seventh day.

On Neville Goddard's "He is My Resurrection" and John 16:28: The Lord's Inversion Flips ARE the Promise

God is becoming. A Bible's margin note I saw a long time ago indicated the word translated 'am' in Exodus 3:14's "I AM THAT I AM" could be translated 'become.' I thought that was weird. "I BECOME THAT WHICH I BECOME" is possible? Could it be that everything is HIM? No separation between Him and Creation, no distance? The Hebrew dictionary in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance confirmed that the Hebrew word hayah, #1961, could be 'be,' 'become,' 'is,' 'am,' 'was,' 'were,' etc.. I read Bullinger's note on Genesis 1:2 in The Companion Bible, that the 'was' in "and the earth was without form" carries the meaning "it came to pass." Bullinger virtually screams that the earth was NOT (!) created without form, but BECAME (!) without form. Check out The New Englishman's Hebrew and Chaldee Concordance on pages 360-361, where that Hebrew word hayah is translated 'shall come to pass,' 'had been,' 'shall be,' 'happened,' 'art become,' and about a dozen other ways indicating either a TRANSITION from one state to another or a state transitioned to. This isn't me; this is the BIBLE, the Word of God - God's own testimony. God's 'AM' is in constant transition; He is constantly BECOMING! Not changing. Change is something new. God's original old stuff is maturing, growing, expanding. He IS what has become. THAT is the 'burning bush.'

This is an imagic world. Everything here is becoming, too - growing, maturing, expanding - because it is His image - His manifestation - and He is becoming. God is creating Himself. Not was creating. He is creating Himself. For there isn't anything else. "Let there be light." Light is what we are going to be. Like Him. The first chapter in Genesis is the plan imagined. "And it was not revealed until now what is destined to occur. But we know that whenever He is revealed, we shall be in that likeness, and we shall see Him just as He will be" (1st John 3:2 Alexander).

Which brings us to Neville Goddard's reading of John 16:28, "I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father" (KJV). Those words lay out the promise. THE promise. Neville explains this clearly in "He is My Resurrection." "In these four short phrases we find the pre-existence of Christ, his incarnation, his death, and his ascension." It is about US!! The Promise is about childbirth: "He chose us through him before the foundations of the universe, so as to be sanctified through him and not by our own oaths" (Ephesians 1:4 Alexander). John 16:18 is a whole lot clearer in Alexander's translation from the ancient Aramaic: "I emerged from the Father and came to the world* (the people [! i.e., he becomes us!]), and again I leave the world and I go [on my way* (="I," as in the expression: "There I go!")] to the Father." I go I (God the Father) to the Father - each of us to Fatherhood!

IT IS A DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM!! He becomes us, individual conscii; we have the seed of the Father in us; by it we become his resurrection - the Father of Christ; and, being Christ's Father, we HAVE ASCENDED to Fatherhood, the 'I' in "I go I."

The whole process of God's Imagination/Manifestation becoming the Father is all His own doing in INVERSION FLIPS (my own theological term - forget 'modes' and 'persons' - God works in flips). The Ineffable and Its consciousness (Milta/Manifestation/Beginning "Son" in Genesis 1:1) are not guys sitting in big chairs, but are like fields of energy. A big, important, and powerful guy sitting in a big chair is the best symbol we can visualize, so that is the language used by God to illustrate the field He is. God happens to be a field which is conscious, growing, maturing, and expanding. And we are in it and of it - parts of God's conscious field in states of dream awareness, born into dreams of individuality, becoming the Father Consciousness of the conscious field. As the Creative Beginning OF the Father, the Field flipped to become the undeveloped imagination we are born as. He flips us into creators OF HIS NATURE, and flips us into being Him. Our one interest, our one goal, our one purpose and pursuit is to become the Field resurrected. Neville had caught on, gotten to know true knowledge of God, flipped, and left here His resurrection. Can you hear him beckoning?

From Earthen Vessels: F. J. Huegel's Testimony of the Exchanged Life

Much appreciated and worthwhile good reading: F. J. Huegel's Testimony of the Exchanged Life

Francis Chan Became a Believer

Some years ago a Francis Chan video was recommended to me by YouTube. He appeared to have a lot of Bible knowledge and to be able to preach well, but not a believer. Sorry. Never watched him again. Recently, however, I read Chan had become a believer and had quit his phony baloney preaching ministry to become a missionary. Tonight YouTube suggested Francis Chan's Final Message To America. Seeker sought and has found; illusion became something real. Congrats, Bro.

Sparkle Music/Singing Helps. Too

I mentioned that reading the Word with interest and understanding yields an objectively uplifted spirit. So read constantly, right? I listened again several times to CLC - I'm a Pentecostal and remembered that having spiritual hymns and melodies in our hearts does much the same.

The Greatest Life: Goodspeed's Translation of the New Testament Edited into a First-person Narrative as if Spoken by Jesus Himself - by Dr. Frank C. Laubach

I just want to recommend as highly as possible Dr. Frank C. Laubach's The Greatest Life. It runs from $2 to $30 + 3.99 shipping used on Amazon. I am pretty sure the $851.00 from Ridgeline Books and Media is a typo (s/b $8.51? - ask them). ABE Books has some, too.

Observation of Objective Sparkle

I want to share with you this simple and sincere phenomenon: when we read and/or hear the Word of God with interest and understanding, and an openness to perceiving and learning more, when we read books about faith and the teaching of the Bible, we are invariably lifted in faith and increase in understanding. That world, the spiritual world, becomes real, a kind of "sparkle" in our life. We become uplifted, "charged." It's kind of like it is saying, "Yes, I am really here," in an objective feeling.

You might liken this to the anointing one gets--a spiritually alive person gets--when preaching. God is just that far away: zero distance--the thickness of an attitude. When we are not studying the Bible or significant books about it, the spiritual sparkle quickly wanes. Fraught with fear, we feel empty, lost, and useless. But boy, how that changes when we get a dose of the "meat" of the Word. There is Life there!

I am reminded of how Smith Wigglesworth and Neville Goddard both read the Bible much daily. DAILY. And I am blessed to have several great study Bibles, the Exegeses Parallel Bible, the Companion Bible, and all of Victor Alexander's translations from the ancient Aramaic. Even Frank C. Laubach's The Greatest Life (The Autobiography of Jesus Christ, I believe, is Robert Laubach's edit). And still hundreds of devote commentaries and the sort. With such illuminating books constantly read and reflected upon, that Life can become our groove. Invest in Life.

Stay sparkly, my friend.
