Think It Now

Neville Goddard's "technique" of the Law was to live in the end: to imagine what it would be like if it were true, and to mentally, experientially believe that you were there, and then to fall asleep. The thing is, experientially means sensually--using the senses. Transported in his imagination, Neville would feel a thing that was in his "there." He would see the place as really being there, see its scenery, see the people there, feel their handshakes, hear their voices, smell the plants and smell aromas inherent in the scene. The tastes, textures, and sounds he imagined felt with his senses were those of the world he wanted to experience, and believed he did experience with all the joy and love and gratitude of having experienced it in reality.

Neville took all this as being part of the process of prayer. "When ye pray, believe ye receive, and ye will," Jesus says in Mark 11:24. But it is a heap of stuff to come up with when you are going to sleep. In the Bible, the Jews were to center their lives around the Law, their experiences. They were to remember their history, the Exodus, God's voice at Mount Sinai, the giving of the Law--how they are supposed to act and think about the world that is supposed to be. It was loyalty to THAT world 24/7, regardless of whatever was happening in this world. The Jews were to be focused on THAT world, be keyed up for it, believing they received it now, not just when they went to sleep.

Get yourself keyed up for what you desire and in promise have received. What will the feeling be like when it is true? What will you feel, and what will it feel like? Feel it! What will you see? See it! What will you hear? Hear it! Inventory the world "there," and imagine each thing real experientially. Practice the experience of hearing voices and feeling grips and items and feeling satisfaction. As arrived. And honor the One Who arrived it.

Think of these experiences now so that you remember them then. The Milta (Miltha) is both complete and becoming, imagined (as the Ineffable has assumed Itself fully manifested) and imagining (as the Manifestation of the Ineffable becomes manifest). You are not hoping it will happen; you are remembering that it DID happen, and what a wonderful day you just had!

This Whole Thing Is About The Milta (The Miltha, I.E. God) Becoming Complete In, Through, By, And AS Us As We ARE Him, God, With No Division Between The Unconditioned And The Conditioned

The Milta (Miltha) is not Your Idea of God, but is God's Idea of Himself (and IS Himself)

Originally "The historic Jesus is not your idea of God, but God's idea of Himself."
--E. Stanley Jones, in introduction to Perfect Everything, J. Rufus Moseley, 1949.

Per John 1:1 in the Aramaic, the historic Jesus was and is the Milta, the Manifestation of the essential connotation of God. The Milta is God's answer to the question, "What would it be like if I, I were manifest?" And so, by the way, the Milta is as eternal as God is, for He is the manifestation of the Eternal One, being the Eternal One manifest.

"The highest self-disclosure that Jesus makes of Himself is that He is Perfect Everything, giving Perfect Everything, inspiring Perfect Everything, enabling Perfect Everything, and commanding Perfect Everything.

"He is the most precious being of all because He is God, the Eternal Christ and the perfect man on the plane of our suffering and need; He is the perfect Word made perfect flesh, the perfect Ideal perfectly realized and manifested.

"He is the perfect man, perfectly self-offered, resurrected, glorified, and on the throne of God and the universe. He is the perfect beginning of the new heaven and earth.

"He is the perfect Body as well as the perfect Soul. In Him the perfect spirit has attained the perfect form and concretion, and (as Whitehead has observed) the whole movement of the Divine Spirit is toward concretion. He is perfect God on the throne of man, and perfect man on the throne of God."

I guess Rufus Moseley would say that Jesus is the Perfection.

The Milta (Miltha) is Love

Milta is translated by Victor Alexander as the manifest essential connotation of God (see his comment on John 1:1). God is love, so the Milta is the manifestation of that love. On account of that love, the Milta (God being its embodiment) creates the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1 Alexander), and as our substitute in life and sacrifice (recapitulation, see Irenaeus) the Milta died for us, as us (which is redemption), to transform repentant us through resurrection into His--the Milta's--body. And This is in us (2nd Corinthians 13:5, see Neville Goddard).

The Milta began with its end the assumption of the Ineffable, and is in the process of becoming that. Satan's elimination is part of this course: we all become Milta. Assume all's end; God is the doer of our action.

Pearly Whites

God did not smile on me with his pearly whites because I was a saintly person. I didn't merit heaven. He didn't even accept me. I didn't believe on Jesus. I got no smiley welcome from him. No, I was saved because I encountered a demon, a deceiving spirit. You see, I met the devil first. First there was evil, and then on my part desperation, because I discovered that evil was real. Is real. Satan may be defeated, destined for hell, but he is still around. He hasn't given up. He isn't even quieted. I see him in the world all the time, working his work, doing what he does; lying, deceiving, condemning. Like wars, he doesn't ever stop, not really.

Do not expect God to show you himself. No revelation for you. Why should he? Glory will not be more on display than it is today. Yet God spoke to me, audibly in my brain. I watched my arm grow out. Not much, but I watched it move. It extended. The Holy Ghost and spoke in another tongue THROUGH me. I've been healed, slain in the spirit, cast out demon, etc., etc. These happened to me, but haven't happened to you? So you do not believe me when I tell you that it happened to me, like I was going to lie to you about this? I am not lying, but I understand that you will not believe me. I met Satan first. You will probably need to meet him first, too, for repentance is important. It is a quality you need to have; an experience you need to KNOW.

You meet Satan first. You find that you have been following him. You're on his team. Cursing, blaming, judging, stealing, killing, destroying--you've been the lord of your own life making your way through life. You find that evil is real and that YOU are worthy of condemnation, rejection, and death. THEN you listen. How are YOU going to pay God back for his perfect life he has given you in his grace, thief? You can't pay him with the remains of your corrupted life, which really is his life, anyway. Yes, Jesus died for you. He was beaten, whipped till his back was hamburger, crowned with thorns, crucified, rejected of men, torn and speared. He died for you, as you, in your place. Payment and punishment had to be paid. But he doesn't accept you until you surrender your lordship to him, cast control of yourself out and humbly, all-out submit yourself to him. Listening starts your faith.

You have got to know evil is here, that it is real, that you have participated in it, that you are condemned. The payment and punishment are YOURS. You have got to know regret and repentance, surrender, humility, and submission. You are saved, but Satan doesn't go away. He is still talking to you--doubt, innuendo, temptation. You found God is real because evil is real; now believe evil is real because God is real. Open your eyes. Look at Satan's work all around you. People are distracted. Their worlds, their concerns are deranged. They have meaningless priorities. Satan is attacking through politics and policies, lies, accusations, falsehoods--but what God is interested in is the Milta, in people's salvations, in the Milta being built up, in his truth in the Milta: compassion, loving kindness among men, cooperation. Comprehension of the reality of evil will drive you to bend your knees to Jesus, who gave his life for you--suffered as your sacrifice, died your death, rose as your resurrection, if you will reject evil. First you meet Satan, then you repent and listen. Then you find God's pearly whites.

The Force of Evil is FOR the Milta (Miltha)

The force of evil, "Satan," is for the development of the Milta, the completion of which is the most important thing in the world. There is nothing more important to God than the Milta, which is His own manifestation. God's own, complete manifestation is the most important thing in the world, and the force of evil is to get us there. God puts it there. It is inherent in what He is doing, completing the Milta. Judge Him rightly for it. He withstood His own force of evil. Resistance made Him stronger. --Holy, holy, holy.

Challenged in lordship, we have to make a choice, a decision: good, or evil? The force of evil pushes us: "Be strong, independent, follow your own leading, be the captain of your destiny, take care of number one, do it on your own, you don't need no stinking god, make your own rules." It's music to our ears. True, it's rebellion against God, but it's music to our ears.

And it is NECESSARY, for without it part of the Milta is stillborn. The grace of Jesus Christ needs to be in the Milta, too. So the force of evil seduces us. We go the convenient, independent route, inadvertently rebel against God's lordship, and need salvation. Repentance and salvation through God's own merciful, redeeming blood gets us to the Milta and Jesus in the Milta. His purpose AND grace--the Milta--is our life; the knowledge of good and evil simply helps get us there. The force of evil is always there. "Come unto Me," says Jesus (Matthew 11:28), the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. Please, friend, go to Him.

Give Yourself to Jesus

Give yourself to Jesus as his reward for bringing the revelation of God. That rewarding--the giving of yourself to Jesus--is the Gospel which now saves you, the reward you give the messenger. A euaggelion (pronounced euangelion) is the reward the messenger who brings good news is to receive from the ones to whom the good news is delivered. It isn't the message itself; it's the reward given to the messenger for bringing the message. The euaggelion is the message receivers' act: He revealed God; you surrender to our Lord and Savior.

Jesus is the End of the Originally Assumed Milta (Miltha)

It escaped me for some time, because the Milta became incarnated as Jesus the Messiah about two thousand years ago. But Jesus Christ was the plan--the finished Milta imagined by the Ineffable--from the beginning. It STARTED with the assumption of him. The Bible begins, "On account of the Messiah, i.e., Jesus' birth as the second Adam, his recapitulative life, his substitutionary death, and his redeeming resurrection, as God he creates the heavens and the earth." There wouldn't be the heavens and the earth if the risen and ascended Jesus wasn't the end they were to come to.

What gets me is this is the MANIFESTATION OF GOD we are talking about. God, not a thing done for him, but of God himself. He was the origin, the input of the sacrifice OF Him. The Milta is the Manifestation OF Him, of GOD. The situation is one Person in two states simultaneously, and the manifestation-state one reveals that the UNmanifest one so loved the earth that He gave HIMSELF to save us, for that is what the manifest One IS. The plan was ALWAYS that God would die for us, and that manifested as the act of Jesus. Jesus is manifest as GOD as "the Lamb who was consecrated before the foundations of the universe" (Revelation 13:8 Alexander). The Manifestation, the Milta, didn't get the green light to manifest God until the redemption by Jesus, that is, by GOD, was the end of it.
