The Revelation of Moses' Christ, His Most Stupendous Theological Breakthrough: The two I's of the Infinite.

(A work in progress, subject to revision updates. Latest Revision: 08/03/2014, 2:18 AM)

Why is the Bible about "The Imagining?" Because Moses made the stupendous discovery that The Imagining, the Most High's (the Ineffable) action of thinking . . . was him! So, when God said to Moses, "I BECOME," there were two "I's" involved! Moses' becoming was God's becoming. The same holds true for us.

The Imagining is simply what the Ineffable is doing. It is not a separate or different thing from the Ineffable, it is just the Ineffable's moving,  the "action" of Its thinking, and this movement is Life to everything thought—the power of the Ineffables' intelligence, the father and the mother of all living.

The Ineffable is "the Becoming One" because by Its desire and faith, facets of Its Imagining, It becomes everything that ever exists. The Imagining is the Ineffable, and the universe is the Ineffable in the act of transitioning Itself into the form, the state that It wants to be. There is nothing in the universe but the Ineffable, and no reason that I see for it to ever stop.

The Imagining can and does talk to people, and that in many ways. In the ancient Aramaic version of Exodus 3: 14, It said to Moses, "Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh."* The Hebrew version, "'Ehyeh 'Asher 'Ehyeh," is usually translated "I AM THAT I AM." That cannot be right, because the Hebrew root word hayah means to become, which means there is transition. (I believe the non-dual Aramaic is closer to the original, as the Sopherim probably changed the words to better fit their theology):

Ahiyeh is "to be absolutely" in the sense of become, with first-person personal pronoun = "I COMPLETELY BECOME." Please note the transition that is involved here: the root word in Hebrew, hayah, is not a simple copula (which connects a condition to a subject), such as "He is tall"; but means "become" (Strong's #1961), which connects a present condition to a past condition, "The earth was (became) without form." That is, the earth originally was not without form, then it became without form. Ahiyeh is not a static condition, it is action—like the present becoming past. See the difference?

Ashur was the Creator God of the ancient people the Hebrews branched off from. Ashur is The Imagining which manifests the Ineffable's emanations. This manifesting is the result of incurrent  faith, hence: "MY BELIEVING COMPLETELY."

Hiyeh
, is "to be absolutely" in the sense of become, but with a third-person personal pronoun = "HE, SHE, or IT COMPLETELY BECOMES." He, she and it are what the Ineffable desires, what It wants to be.

Interestingly, because in creating the Ineffable sends Itself (there is no other), the third person who "comes completely" is the Sender, the Ineffable. There isn't any distance involved in this; it is just different levels of awareness or maturity; it is all inside, like ripeness that comes to a fruit, or maturity which comes to a child. Moses was off milk and chewing the meat of the Gospel, discovering his Godhood.

Moses realized that if the Most High had become him, then he, Moses, was also the Most High! It was seedtime and harvest: the Ineffable had planted seed of Itself, and the plant that came up was . . . Itself. And if Moses was the Most High, then the Creator God Ashur, The Imagining, was his imagination, and he, Moses, was the creator-imagination of the world. Therefore there were two "I's" in Ahiyeh, and they were both the Infinite! It was Moses, The Imagination, who could say, "I CREATE ASHUR'S BECOMING!" 

"Wow, wow, wow! I have got to tell everybody about this!" THAT is why Moses wrote the Bible, and THIS is what it is all about: we are the Infinite and Eternal, the Ineffable, the Most High and Its Imagining. We are the creators of the world. This whole thing is our fault, and we are the ones who must turn it around. Welcome to the family of God.

Our purpose in life is to become the Ineffable as completely as It has become us. Our experience here is designed to generate Its nature in us, and we all will eventually ascend to fulfill this. The difference between our past condition in the e’had and our new condition is freedom. We will “know as we are known” . . . in independence. The nobility, integrity, honor, grace, truth and love of the Ineffable—all the Law (Raymond Holliwell’s version of the Law,** not the Jews’)is ours, WITH FREEDOM; we just haven’t availed ourselves of it yet. We really should be assuming the nature and character of the Ineffable as we discover them in the Law. Take the Ineffable’s sense of right to heart and learn to believe with faith as the Most High does.

Scripture says that we are to bring "jethro" forth by "japheth." 'Jethro' is increase, the jutting-over the brim abundance of God's blessing. For example, during a drought Isaac planted a crop and received a one-hundred-fold harvest. THAT is jethro. Jethro is what got Moses into the frame of mind where he was ready to receive the revelation of the Ineffable's becoming everything.

The Ineffable becomes things, jutting-over-the-brim-full things, by expansion. It does not stretch out to expand, It fills in. I understand japheth to be the expansion of the DETAILS of ones mental experience of what he or she desires, their filling-in. For example, before the beginning of creation the Ineffable planned for there to be God, the Heavens and the Earth, and, in Genesis chapter one, The Imagining filled-in all the details of the creative experience of them. The Ineffable could "see" the details of the creation, though it was only a goal. And Noah in his "ark" of imagination filled in the details of his desired world. He "took in" seven pairs of every clean animal and seven pairs of every clean bird—that is, he envisioned all the bright and pure features of the world he desired, and being lifted up by faith above all the "facts" contrary to the desired world ever existing, believing those details to exist, that world became. THAT is japheth.

My lovely wife recently encouraged my children and me to read the Confucian classic, The Great Learning. It is wonderfully short, direct, succinct and enlightening. In it I find confirmation of this teaching: the three purposes correspond to jethro, and "the investigation of all things" corresponds to japheth. Japheth is essential to Jethro:
a) know and define exactly what you want—the "world" you desire to rest in (Shem).
b) be still and know "I am God, the Imagining" (Ham). The Imagining is YOUR imagining in YOUR head. "It is said of this mountain (your head), 'The Lord Will Provide'" (Genesis 22: 14, Victor Alexander translation). This is Jehovah Jireh: YHWH is seen. How is YHWH seen? The pattern of your life (Y) desiring (H), imagining (W), and manifesting (H).
c) expand and fill-in all the details of your envisioned world—include all the clean, bright and pure experiences of it: the sights, the smells, the feelings, even all the emotional details (Japheth);
and d) "float your boat"—i.e., believe that you are the Imagining, the Becoming One (because you are), and believe that the state and form you want is the state and form you are.

Happy transitioning.

WHY PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB (Good God, they are almost as dumb as I am!), AND WHY WE HAVE TO LOVE THEM

The Divine Mind, Imagination, is the Ineffable's delight and our Messiah (Proverbs 8). As God it was locked into following exactly the Ineffable's will, while the Ineffable Itself was free and independent and did not follow anything "else" at all. In this respect the Divine Mind was NOT like the Ineffable, whose image it is. Until it became us.

"BECAUSE HE WENT AWAY"

For the Ineffable's imagination to be as free as It is, It imagined being an independent spirit, a man who would discover and develop his spiritual attributes over time and be generated to an even greater likeness to the Ineffable. That is the boat we are on: we were the locked-in individual consciousnesses of the e'had (the One God/Divine Imagination made up of many individual imaginations, see Deuteronomy 6: 4), and we imagined being man and woke up in the dream as either the man or woman we were imagining. This entailed a flip in state of consciousness: from being completely aware of our Godhood and divine attributes to being completely unaware of what we are unaware of. Now, as the Divine Mind we are more like the Ineffable: we are free. Except now we are stupid.

I know you do not think that you are God, but you cannot not be: the Ineffable cannot be One without also being you, for there cannot be two Gods. There is no one whom God did not love enough to become; there is no one who isn't God rather than the man he thinks he is. The nature of the Child of God that we are, the Imagination of the Ineffable, is hidden in us. In Ecclesiastes 3: 11, the Hebrew word translated either 'world' or 'eternity' means child. All of us are the imagination of the Most High, imagining that we are the ignorant man we are annexed to instead of the Deity we really are. The two are become one flesh: whomever you are, that body is your "wife."

"I HAVE SAID, 'YOU ARE GOD'" (Psalm 82: 6).

There continues to be connection and continuity between our dumbed-down bit of imagination and the Original Mind, the imagination of the Ineffable (these are not two but One imagination with a lot of dynamics). Our connection with the Divine Mind is our "covenant" with it. In the Bible this covenant connection is identified as "YHWH," or "Jehovah." YHWH is the pattern of our imaginations' connection with the Imagination of the ineffable Imaginer. Jesus Christ is the transcendent bridge of His Power and Wisdom within us. Yeah, we are that close; in fact, there is no distance at all.

This YHWH pattern, "Jehovah," is what provides life—manifestation—to all that we need or desire, "sin" caused by our "flipped-out" imagination. Its provision is our salvation, our being made right: "YHWH is salvation"=Joshua=Jesus. It is all the Divine imagination by which we cross over into Canaan, the fruitful valley where there is Jethro, the jutting-over the brim abundance, provision for our every need.

In our world all is imagination, and all is divine; some has been made concrete and ignorant, and some is invisible and not. ALL PEOPLE are God, the Divine imagining itself to be stupid man waiting for development by discovery. Expect all people to be imaginations looking for answers, even looking for questions.

In the Bible as well as in real life, YHWH and Jesus can and do talk to us and act in our "reality." Keep in mind, though, that the concrete universe exists to facilitate the Imagination that is dreaming of its experience in it. The only thing that is real is that Imaginer who is imagining all, and we have not a clue as to what that is, except that It is imagining.

That Imaginer alone is God.

The Way for us is to ascend by conforming more to the nature of the Imaginer. Our destiny is to fulfill the scripture we inspired as Divine Mind before we flipped down into these lives. We said, "Let us create man in our image," because that is what the Ineffable is doing: It making us into Its image. That will be our resurrection, the birth of God, "the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end," which work is hid in us (Ecclesiastes 3: 11). Let's get creating!

"THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD YOUR GOD IN VAIN"

That means LEARN TO IMAGINE RIGHT. The "name of the Lord" is the nature of YHWH, imagination. Do not imagine emptiness and waste, need, lack, poverty, sickness, anger or hate or failure. Imagine right. Imagine good: what you want or another needs AS THOUGH IT WERE HAD, as if the "sin" were cured. In the beautiful world we imagined in Genesis 1 there was no sin, and that world will be, so the cure to EVERY variation from that perfection MUST NOW EXIST AS POSSIBILITY. IMAGINE ONLY PERFECTION! Follow the meditation formula back to being the unconditioned awareness of the Divine Creator, which is the Ineffable's imagination, and IMAGINE YOUR WORLD RIGHT AND WHOLE, PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY AND FREE, FULLY AND RICHLY SUSTAINED AND ALIVE IN THE FULL RIGHT NATURE OF THE INEFFABLE MOST HIGH GOD, THE HOLY IMAGINER.

THE GREAT LEARNING: LEARNING TO TAP OUR INNER SPIRITUAL COMPONENT FOR CAUSATION BY IMAGINATION

Note:


Hi. I am not known for short notes, and if you have read my essays and blog postings (The Becoming God, www.imagicworldview.blogspot.com) you know that I write a lot about imagination and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, the name of God, the nature of reality, etc.
I have only one interest, though, and that is healing. That is the lodestone in my mind as I consider everything: where from this to healing? I keep reaching for, how should I put it? . . . a workable solution, something we can "put our hands on," so to speak, besides the laying on of hands.
That is why I have latched onto imagining. There is neither belief, nor faith, nor prayer, nor laying on of hands—nor love, nor empathy—without imagining. Life, neither. I know we have a big physical component, but I honestly believe that our imagination is the body's animating "spark" of the divine Most High, of the Ineffable Itself.
This, I believe, is what Moses discovered—that we can "put our hands on God" as our causer, because our imaginings are God's hands!
Healing for one might be rain, for another a physical healing, for yet another just the peace and confidence of God's presence within—whatever is your "Canaan." Imagining takes us there and puts faith in our hands. One thing I am convinced of is that there is no death in the sense of mortal stillness; on the morrow we are the same spark on another project learning what we are supposed to be learning here as his hands: how to be the Most High.

It is for that reason I usually speak of imagining and praying instead of imagination and prayer. The point of our connection, as it were, with the Most High is His action. We are His action. That is the great and tragic mistake in our understanding as Christians: 'God' is a verb, and we are that God—there isn't another one separately out there. We don't grab a sword in faith: we are the sword of faith. We swing, if you'll pardon the expression.

Take what I say with a grain of salt, of course, but if it strikes a chord, come out swinging.

THE GREAT LEARNING: LEARNING TO TAP OUR INNER SPIRITUAL COMPONENT FOR CAUSATION BY IMAGINING
References:

My lovely Chinese wife had my children and me read The Great Learning, a short treatise written by a student of Confucius. The "Great Learning," supposedly, is to improve oneself and community through a lot of study and the cultivation of one's character. My wife is real big on my improving myself.

I see in The Great Learning a method of tapping the spiritual component within ourselves, to change the world through imagining.

That cause is imagination may appear an odd doctrine. “The ultimate cause of everything is God, the eternal uncaused cause!” you might say, and that is exactly what I am saying: “God is imagination.” Not imaginary, not an imagination, but God the Creator is the very stuff that imagination is, the Ineffable, and that is you and I because there is no separation from the Original Mind. The Original Mind's Imagination is the spiritual component which links us all together.

I run the doctrine back to the Ineffable, the Most High, for the imagination of the Original Mind is the action of the Ineffable. The Most High is something far beyond our comprehension, certainly not a "stuff" nor a "thing," nor spirit nor being; not even "God." The Most High is some state above force, power, mind and thought, all of which come from the Most High and all of which we can know. The Ineffable is unknowable, unimaginable—an existence far beyond our highest comprehension, except that at some point . . .

. . . It imagined. Bingo: our imagination, our consciousness, our sense of being, "awareness" . . . is the Ineffable moving as mind, the point of the Ineffable we can know. Humble, little ol' you are THE GREATEST . . . inside. "Cultivation of character" is tapping the Infinite and Eternal inside for help making the outside more like it. Learning how to tap the divine, the Way, is the Great Learning. Sign me up.

They say you can't get something from nothing, but the Most High would beg to differ. From the No-thing's first movement, imagining, has come everything. Notice that I do not say everything else. There is no “else,” else there would be two, and there can only be one God, Ineffable included. The Most High cannot be one without also being you. If you do not think the Most High is worthy of honor and praise and glory and all your life, well, the whole point of the Book of Revelation is "Worthy is the Lamb." The Lamb is the Most High who has become you, Ineffable included.

Let's put these two ideas together: The Most High imagined, which was and is the cause of all things, and the Most High has become us. You and I, then, are the Most High imagining and causing everything that is. We all are. "Jesus Christ" is this ineffable power and wisdom—the quality of King—within us, which is the Most High's imagining. Therefore, we are causing the world. 

A friend asked me the other day, jokingly, "What was Jesus' last name?" An appropriate last name for Jesus would be Potter. The meaning of the Hebrew word for potter, yatsar/yetsar (Strong's 3334-3336), is imagination: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind (potter/imagination) is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee" (Isaiah 26: 3); "But Thou, O YHWH*, Thou art our Father, we are the clay, and Thou our Potter (imagination/mind); and we all are the work of Thy hand" (Isaiah 64: 8, parentheses mine to show interchangeability). Also, the "wheels" Ezekiel saw were potters' wheels—imagination. Not imaginary, but the divine imagining.

*YHWH is the pattern of the Ineffable becoming manifest. This nature of becoming is called God’s “name.” We are IN the pattern! The Most High's causation through imagination is universal in man, because the Most High is man (yes, God is and Christ is and you are man also). You do not need to be a Christian or a Jew or Muslim or Hindu or of any religion at all to be causing the world—but few of us know it.

We cannot get away from causing the world by imagining. This is a big problem because we are stupid and imagine stupid things, and today's imagining is the factory producing tomorrow's reality. If at the point of being us the Ineffable were a coin, it would be brilliant on one side and dumb as mud on the other (it is hard to believe, but this is by design; see Romans 8: 20). We are challenged to polish up our side of the coin to the brilliance of the other side—to more than when we first came here. Ask for God's/Jesus' help, friend, for they are the twain, the middle of the coin, if you will—the Original Mind's imagining consciousness which is the "bridge" between the Ineffable's will and our fact. Polishing ourselves has to do with attitudes and self-control.

The Most High's imagining is what all men are and are doing, and the mechanism is not hid by other than our ignorance (we forgot everything when we flipped from divine consciousness to human lack of conscience). It should not surprise us that the astute and perceptively superior among us should notice that we cause the world around us, and that they learn how to take advantage of this fact. This happened among the conscientious ancient Chinese.

I believe Confucius described as well as he could to his disciples the ancients' causation by imagining, i.e., a form of faith or intention that conformed to what he figured the Way, or "the Dao," is teaching, and this became The Great Learning. The Dao is pretty much everything we might attribute to the nature of God, the “Law.” Both the Law and the Dao are "the Way," really, what we are supposed to do. Doesn't the following paragraph from The Great Learning appear to be exactly the same meditation technique taught by Abdullah and Neville Goddard?

"The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end. Things have their root and their branches. Affairs have their end and their beginning. To know what is first and what is last will lead near to what is taught in the Great Learning" (The Great Learning, 2nd paragraph, James Legg translation).

This lesson could have been lifted right out of one of Neville's many lectures where he expressed the same idea and method of intentional causation. I realize, of course, that I am reading a meditation technique I am familiar with into the text. I speak and read very little Chinese, but I am well aware of the breadth of meaning possible in classic Chinese writings. Causation by imagination might never have occurred to the author of The Great Learning, either as a doctrine or subject for discussion or even as a practicable technique. Perhaps the author's intention was as innocuous as this translation from humanistictexts (website above, text below), and its correlation with any defined meditation technique is entirely coincidental:

"Once the true point of departure on this path is found, thought becomes clear. A calm imperturbability yields the tranquility needed for careful deliberation. That deliberation will achieve the desired goal."

Below is another translation of the same paragraph by Chinese scholar Wing-Tsit Chan (contributed by Jim Wilson at nichirenscoffeehouse.net):

"Only after knowing what to abide in can one be calm. Only after having been calm can one be tranquil. Only after having achieved tranquility can one have peaceful repose. Only after having peaceful repose can one begin to deliberate. Only after deliberation can the end be attained. Things have their roots and branches. Affairs have their beginnings and their ends. To know what is first and what is last will lead one near the Way."

What on earth has all this resting—calm, tranquil, peaceful repose—to do with learning? It is what the Dao is teaching: causation by imagining: this is the technique for that. It is not hidden; it just is not recognized for what it is. Notice the second to the last sentence: "Affairs have their beginnings and their ends." Because Chan (or Jim Wilson, who published this version on http://nichirenscoffeehouse.net/dharmajim/GreatLearning.html) was oblivious to the metaphysical order of creation (as most people are), he reversed the order. In truth, affairs first have their end and then their beginning. The desired end has to be imagined first, as we did in Genesis chapter one, and then the "affair" begins.

I believe that the ancient Chinese intentionally used this technique as "principles inherent within the reality of the Dao," but they did not publish it the way the Jews did. The only reason we have a Bible is Moses recognized this same Law to be practicable, a reality inherent in man's condition that can be used for intentional causation, and that it is a technique for spiritual ascension. The ancient Chinese created a paradise kingdom. Moses was a priest and interested in a higher, inner Kingdom. 'God' is our verb; Godding is what we are supposed to do, and imagining in the inner man, our spiritual component, "Jesus Christ," is the method given to us. THAT is what this is all about.

Let's analyze this paragraph from The Great Learning in the biblical style: last thing first; first thing last:

1) "To know what is first and what is last will lead one near the Way." The Way is the Dao (Tao) or the Law of God, the underlying order of reality. "God" is what we left and are ascending to in the freedom we are here to learn. The basic idea of the Law is right, as in righteousness. Our lives are screwed up with "sin," which is variance from right due to our ignorance (the "death" of forgetting from the flip into human consciousness), and we want to be as close to right—sinlessness—as God would have us. Our knowing what occurs first in intentional causation, the determining of a desired end, will lead us near to fulfilling the Law, our salvation from what is wrong in the present.

2) "Affairs have their beginnings and their ends." No, they do not. The ancients had it right: "Affairs have their end and their beginning." The "affair" of an oak tree does not begin without its end first determined by the acorn seed. "Things go better with a plan" is a wise axiom: we must first create the ends we desire in imagination, or they won't go at all! If your life is wishy-washy, you have poorly defined goals. Determine the ends you want, and look out! We are in training more thorough and tougher than any military's. The end of this process is us out-flowing as the Ineffable. This is as serious as warfare; there will not be anything missed in Its generation, for It is Its plan!

3) "Things have their roots and branches." Genesis chapter one describes the root, the founding of the earth. It is the earth's planned end. And please note that the end is ongoing. Everything up until now is that root plan branching toward its end. Have faith—we will reach the end that we as God determined before the beginning: Christ risen from the dead—all of us life-giving spirit individuals of the Most High.

4) "Only after deliberation can the end be attained." We attain a lot of unwanted ends without intentional deliberation, but that is precisely the problem: because we do not know we are deliberating when we imagine and imagine things that really suck, we get really sucky lives. It is our fault for not learning to intentionally deliberate on what we actually do want. Our imaginations create because ALL IMAGINATION IS GOD. Therefore, imagine the concrete, experiential state you want over and over and over again, "until it takes on all the tones of reality."

5) "Only after knowing what to abide in can one be calm. Only after having been calm can one be tranquil. Only after having achieved tranquility can one have peaceful repose. Only after having peaceful repose can one begin to deliberate." It isn't that the ancients were a bunch of really "laid back" guys; these four points are where the rubber meets the road, the practice of causation. Though the ancients might have discovered this causation technique through coincidence, their verdict was that it works!

a) "Only after having peaceful repose can one begin to deliberate." Peaceful repose is the key to creation. "What the heck is 'peaceful repose?'" you ask. It is the inner man in unconditioned awareness: aware of being, but not aware of being any "thing" at all. It is the state of being free of any definition. Cancel who you think you are and just "be." Put up your boots and just float, enjoy the silence and divine love at the top of the YHWH pattern "from whence all blessings flow." It is from there you will imagine the eternal existence of what is right (your provision, healing, forgiveness, etc.) as your treading, and "every place that the sole of your foot (your unconditioned awareness) shall tread upon, that I have given unto you" (Joshua 1: 3)—the promise of the Ineffable to you.

b) "Only after having achieved tranquility can one have peaceful repose." To get to the peaceful repose of unconditioned being, you have to first achieve tranquility, which is the state approaching sleep, yet still awake, aware and in control. At this point of tranquility you can float off into the "peaceful repose." If this isn't meditation, I don't know what is.

c) "Only after having been calm can one be tranquil." Sit where you can relax. Get comfortable, relax, "Be still, and know that 'I am God.'" You are the inner man doing what you are supposed to do, a mission for good functioning as YHWH, which is not "I AM" but code for "LIFE COMING FORTH BY IMAGINING INTO MANIFESTATION."

d) "Only after knowing what to abide in can one be calm." Yep, this is the beginning: you have to know exactly what you want before you begin. You cannot calmly abide in your desired end as though it were already possessed without first knowing what your desired end is! First identify the objective you will "believe ye receive," then you can get calm in that big ol' easy chair and start really praying—causing your world by imagining.

Now, run the technique/method given by Confucius forward:

A) You have to know exactly what you want before you begin. Author a scene that implies that what you want HAS BEEN RECEIVED. You are going to abide in this scene until it becomes real to you.

B) Sit back or recline or fold your legs and get calm.

C) Approach tranquility as though you were going to fall asleep, but don't go all the way—stay in control of your mind.

D) Neville talks about watching the blue light that often forms behind closed eyelids, like the lively blue flame that dances above burning alcohol. Abandoning all self-definition and "conditioning" (erase everything about your outer man and let only the inner man remain), let yourself float peacefully reposed as unconditioned existence, the inner man who is your spiritual component . . . aware only of being.

E) In this peaceful repose, deliberate the scene you have authored that implies the desired end has come to pass. In Genesis chapter one we saw the beautiful earth that shall be as though it were. Picture what you want as possessed. Hear the words your friends and loved ones say as they congratulate you, touch the concrete things that you have and that you own, smell and taste what you would smell and taste if you were really, presently there. Be "there and then" as if all had already come to pass. Feel the emotions as they will really exist—joy, relief, sweet sorrow or whatever combination of feelings you would feel. Imagine the event "there" as though it were the real present over and over and over until it takes on "all the tones of reality." Be at that time and place and, from there, see the here-and-now as a two-dimensional distant memory. 

F) If you can, fall asleep there, in that reality. 

If I am reading The Great Learning correctly, this has been forming the DNA and planting the seed that will become the root which branches and blossoms into your harvest in due time. When the fruit comes, remember your sowing, BECAUSE IF HARVEST COMES FROM IMAGINING, YOU HAVE FOUND GOD (AND IF GOD, THEN THE INEFFABLE) TO BE YOUR IMAGINING! And if you have proven your Godhood real to yourself, you had better get serious about him and learn his intents and purposes and expectations for you. The Kingdom of God has to do with attitudes, and he will not accept the attitudes of fearful and forced respect and reverence but of grateful love, trust and adoration. He loved you enough to become you and to raise you up to be him—say "Hi," and "Thanks" and embrace your inner man and God—your wonderful human imagination.
