Cultivate the Non-separateness of God

"God became man, that man might become God." Neville Goddard drilled this into his audience's minds. "God is man's own, wonderful, human imagination," he said. Cultivate the sense of that, of God's not presence with, but being your mind.

I read today of a woman who was healed of blindness at an evangelistic campaign featuring David Nunn. She was blinded when she was two and a half. The campaign was THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS LATER. Nunn prayed for her, and she was healed. Why the thirty-seven year wait?

I hyper-extended my back in Honolulu, and though the Gregory brothers treated me there with wonderful chiropractic, for healing I flew back to Walnut, California, on my elbows to be prayed for by elders of my church. The woman with the crooked back (Luke 13) was loosed by Jesus after eighteen years, the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5) after 12, and then only because she touched the hem of His garment. I have gone to numerous prayer meetings and healing services, and, as you might see at a Kathryn Kuhlman meeting, there are people in wheelchairs and braces waiting to be prayed for by the evangelist. Why the wait?

T. L. Osborn, who saw more healings than any other man, said, "Don't blame me for any of that. I just preach the Word. It is God who does the healing." True. People waited years in misery for him to come and announce the Gospel of God's love Who then instantaneously healed them. Why the wait?

People wait because they believe God is separate and other. They believe the lie. The truth is God is here as them, their imagination, but hidden by their unbelief in their ONENESS with God. They wait for the "separate and other" god, who does not exist, until they see its representative, until contact with God - Who they do not recognize IS them - can be established.

THERE IS NO OTHER, NO OUTSIDE GOD!! "Take the shoes from your feet" (Exodus 3), means to have no intermediary. There is nothing between God and man. Moses had reached the actual presence of God in his mind, where He was him. Moses' consciousness was THERE. Moses was meditating, and he reached the Face of God, the Imagination which was emanating him. The distance God is from every one of us is only in perception, because there is no separation. He is Him, and He is us. There is no otherness, save our ignorance and stupidity. His ignorance and stupidity is only in us, and He is trying to get rid of it by our overcoming it.

Says C. H. Dodd: "This was the true solution of the problem presented to the Church by the disappointment of its naïve expectation that the Lord would immediately appear; not the restless and impatient straining after signs of His coming which turned faith into fantasy and enthusiasm into fanaticism; but a fuller realization of all the depths and heights of the supernatural life here and now. The prayer of the Church as taught by Paul was no longer, 'Let grace come and let this world pass away. Our Lord, come!' (Didaché, x. 6) but 'to be strengthened by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be strong to apprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ that passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God'" (Eph. 16-19)...here and now in one's own heart by faith!! (1964, The Apostolic Preaching and Its Developments, New York: Harper and Roe, p. 63, emphasis mine).

PEOPLE ARE STILL NAIVE, waiting for an external contact with That which is within them. Brother F. F. Bosworth taught that "every child does its own crying." It does not ask its sibling to ask its parents on its behalf, to cry in its stead. Just as children are projections of their parents, we are projections of God, Who is the Ineffable's imagination. We are in - and are being projected from - Him. Our intensely loving Father is ready, willing, and able to provide out here IF AND WHEN WE FINALLY GO TO HIM WITHIN.

Recognizing our oneness with God Who has become us is our project. There is nothing to wait for. Simply believe He is in you loving you intensely, and that you are in Him being intensely loved. I wish you every success in becoming Him.
