Imagination/Consciousness is the Manifestation of Person

We all are spirit, the individualized consciousness of God, housed within these brains. We are manifestation of the Original Mind, the Ineffable Source's intelligence, but drastically dumbed-down in complete amnesia for a purpose. I offer this simple observation: everything is person.

By 'person' I mean that everything is intelligent, having a form of consciousness. While nothing else quite has the mind of man, we all recognize that animals have intelligence and emotions. I have heard of research which demonstrates that plants have intelligence and emotions, too. If you watch Gregg Braden's video I have recommended, scientists have discovered that even individual photons can learn. They have intelligence because everything is the manifestation of a PERSON, the Ineffable Most High Source of all things, because It is a PERSON.

This comes as no surprise to those who have heard his voice or seen his appearing. It follows that all the manifestation OF a person would BE a person. And this is why I absolutely hate the promulgation of the Law of Attraction as some kind of magnetic affect of vibrations, for it denies that it is a PERSON who is invisibly working all things together for the good that has been faithfully imagined by its manifestation. The 'Worker' is a person of incomprehensible intelligence and power, who is manifest as the innumerable individualized imaginings in everything. We are altogether this one, really big PERSON.

You might not have a problem thinking of your dog or other pet as a person. It is often said by the owners of pets that their animals are people, too. With a little stretching of our imagination, we can see plants, microbes, atoms and quantum level particles each as a person--the intelligence of the Ineffable manifesting Its personhood. Everything manifests personhood. So why say that, "Oh, it is just the vibrational frequencies attracting one another. Raise your frequency, and other higher frequencies will be drawn to you." What a load of crap. It is just an excuse to dismiss the PERSON we are dealing with.

When imagining works, it isn't higher vibrations you have found; it is HIM. And it works because you have ASSUMED with your intelligence. Our intelligence is HIS intelligence, and our imagining is HIS word, for the speech of God is HIS imagining, which HE is faithful to perform/fulfill. Okay, he does shake things up, but that still isn't the Law of Attraction's vibration--it is his wonderful, past-all-finding-out way of bringing his word to pass. You want something? Assume. And sleep on it.

Suicide Training for Vets: How the World Works, Operating Instructions

World-operation instructions for ex-military personnel.

The world as we know it (including ourselves in all our apparent concreteness) is the manifestation of an ineffable Source's thought, or if you would, the imagination of God. Consequently, the world operates on the basis of thought. Being the manifestation of God's imagination, our thought also operates the world, like "potter's wheels inside a potter's wheel." That is why expectation holds such a command over the outcome of things: it creates the outcome. Man's assumption of what is real, what he actually believes, becomes manifest.

Misapplication of this principle can have severe consequences, as you may see. Fortunately, it is never too late to amend the existing manifestation by repentance. Repentance is taking on an entirely different assumption and making that one's belief, a new imagining of what is. The "trick" in all expectation is to imagine that what is desired already exists, that it already is. You must "die" to the present, as it is a fading aberration, a misformed pot, and live from and as the person you are in your newly assumed reality.

The first thing is you must know exactly what you want, what you want to be. What will you assume for yourself? You may want to be the person who has a job, or a promotion, or a spouse, or a vehicle, or a position, or an income. You will want to be a noble person, a magnanimous, generous, and polite person of repute. (Warning: if you intend evil, this isn't going anywhere, because the manifestation will be YOU!)

Second, you must devise a scene which implies that you have the fulfillment of your desire, that it already exists. You would in your scene be the noble, magnanimous, generous and polite person working in that job, or being congratulated by your friends for your promotion, or happy about your spouse, or driving that vehicle, honored by that position, or receiving that income. Got it? Because your desire now exists, you enjoy the consequences of that existence. This is the plan you are going to create, which will in its creation supersede your present existence.

Third, when you know exactly what you want and what consequence implies its existence--the man or woman you want to be--sit back comfortably and approach the state of sleep. Get ready for a nap or night's rest, but do not fall asleep yet. While you are still in control of your mental faculties, allow yourself to be by sleepiness lifted up above the cares and concerns of this world. This "world" is going to die to you, and you to it. All the "facts" of this world which flood your mind to say that you are not the person you wish to be die here as you are lifted above them. What you are for the moment is really not anything except for the spirit who is inhabiting your body. Nothing but the spirit of God committed to being nothing but God's spirit apart from the world that existed.

Fourth, the person you wish to be, that you desire to be, you now imagine you are. Imagine your devised scene clearly. Vividly. Make it 3-D, and be yourself the actor in it. Create in your imagination that world and be in it so much that you are thinking from it, hearing and seeing and sensing all its reality. Give it all the tones of reality. Here is one of the really big the tricks in operating the world: feel that it is real. You may have to recreate the scene several times, over and over, to get to the feeling of reality, but keep at it until that you in that place and time is your reality, that it is the state you really are in.

Fifth, you have to let go and let God do it. Abandon and abdicate from all self-lordship: you are not the one who is going to accomplish this. "Die" of all control of your life--cast self-control out of yourself! He is God, and He can do it. Remember this alone, and He will; and when it works, you will have found Him--that He is your own, wonderful, human imagination! (And He is all Eternity, from whence you came.)

And then, sixth, fall asleep in that state.

Seventh, what reality your inner man goes into, your outer man (or woman) will go also. The greater the magnitude of your repentance, the greater "gestation" time it may take for physical manifestation to occur. But it will occur. Be faithful to your new life. You are the "New" person: noble, gracious, loving, patient, and kind. You do not need to do anything to cause the new world to catch up to you. God is a faithful PERSON who can and will invisibly, imperceptibly move things in order to experience what you desired and created through you. You are His operant power.

Sorry if this philosophy upsets your apple cart. Hey, you were going to kill yourself, anyway. Why die physically? If you are in a bad place, go somewhere else. Mentally. Imagine the world as you want it, and yourself as you want you to be. Don't put on airs. Find the reality of the desired you in your imagination as you go to sleep, and, being there, fall sleep in that state. Then live as that person faithful to the ideal you have given to God to fulfill. And God bless you in it.

I Would Like To Point Out That "Post-Christian" Does Not Mean Non-Christian, But Perhaps Rather Early-Christian

I have a hard time describing what I am now. I am a Christian, but I am more of a Christian than I was when I first became a Christian. Most Christians believe that their Christianity is the end-all of what Christianity is. For certain, they all know that they have much more to learn and much more to do and expect to become much better Christians than they are, but not different than they are.

I agree with them there, I am not different than I was when I first became a Christian, but I see things much differently than then. So much so that what I now believe is not considered to be Christianity at all, even though it is the logical progression of the maturing spirit. For example, the Christian church believes that Jesus Christ was a historic incarnation of the Son of God born of a virgin who completed his work on the cross about two thousand years ago. I do too, but not that way. I believe the revelation of God's work which was completed (!) at the beginning of time was presented about two thousand years ago, just as it has been presented to man throughout the ages. The historic incarnation of the Son of God born of a virgin is each and every one of us. We are, ultimately, and can be now, that presentation of the Manifestation of the Father, because we are the Father manifest. THAT is Christianity--being the Manifestation--not just learning about it and believing in it.

So when someone asks if I am a Christian, yes, I am, but I am not as one of those, of that exclusive party of "Christians." I am a Christian, but I have moved along. "Latter-day saint" don't cut it, either.

I have been thinking about the Ancient Aramaic Church, the one that goes back to the days of Moses. Victor Alexander is translating the scriptures of the Ancient Aramaic Church, and the translation he presents supports the views of post-Christians like me. Victor doesn't think they do, but I disagree: the scriptures have to be understood through the interpretation of their symbols--what they meant to the early church. If Neville Goddard was alive, he'd be eating up Alexander's translation. Well, in any case, at least when people ask what church I go to, I can say, "I am a member of the Ancient Aramaic Church. They don't have a fellowship around here, but I attend the same Church Jesus attends."

Victor Alexander Offers an Interpretation of the Bible From Jesus' Own Words in the Ancient Aramaic Language all Scholars Acknowledge He Spoke

The Story of Jesus from His Own Words

This is a campaign to raise money for the movie. I'm using the book I'm writing on the subject to support the movie. Also the book itself is an excellent theological thesis on explaining the Ancient Aramaic Old and New Testaments.

The Story of Jesus in His Own Words is about who Eashoa Msheekha said He is. I’m writing this as a book in order to raise funds for the movie, because the movie project isn’t drawing enough interest from my supporters. Everyone who’s written me about the movie has a different perspective on what the movie should be.

Some of my supporters don’t even think that I should be making a movie, because they think that it takes too much money to do it. I disagree with this view because I’ve been a filmmaker all my life and I can’t throw away fifty years of experience, a college education and film degree just because some people don’t think movies is not the proper way of preaching the message of Jesus. How can I agree with such a cynical view?
Some of my supporters think that The Story of Jesus will make a great movie. So I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. I have to make the movie, because I’ve had supporters who have contributed to it. And as a professional I owe it to the people whom I’ve promised to make this movie.

After all my financial backers backed off as a result of all these controversies, I was left with few options. So I thought why not write a book about my perspective of the Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments. I don’t think anyone has done it in this way.

I’m almost at the end of this book, which is entitled ‘The Story of Jesus from His Own Words.’ This is going to be my best effort in the interpretation of the Bible – from the perspective of Eashoa Msheekha’s words. The best way to prove the authenticity of my translations is by presenting actual Text from the original Scriptures. My book will include many images that show the actual verses which are in the Words of Eashoa Msheekha Himself. The whole book takes that approach.

If you contribute $50 or more to this campaign, I will send you the book after it’s published.

Thank you,
Victor Alexander

The Story of Jesus From His Own Words: The Meaning of The Gospel From The Ancient Aramaic Language He Used (and It WAS Ancient Aramaic!)

Victor Alexander has started an Indiegogo.com campaign to raise funds for a his movie by selling a new book he is still writing. It is The Story of Jesus From His Own Words, and it should be completed soon. If you can, please watch Alexander's promo at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-story-of-jesus-from-his-own-words#/.

I do not particularly like Alexander delving into projects other than translation of the scriptures, but maybe it is time for him to lay out for others the principles of his translation and his method. The thing that will make the book invaluable will be the background weight and cultural implications of the words used by the Gospel writers. I don't know, but Victor may bring in a lot of Old Testament references, too. He is the one person who knows the relation of the New to the Old in the ancient Aramaic thought.

When you consider that the Bible we all grew up with and studied in seminary and have preached for years, the Bible that is (or at least was) the written basis of our faith ISN'T EVEN THE REAL BIBLE AFTER ALL, the insights Victor Alexander has to offer from the words Jesus used in the ancient Aramaic will certainly be worth it. I am sure it is going to be a revelation.

It is a fifty dollar bet (the minimum donation for the book) that what Alexander has learned over the last twenty-five years of concentrated effort to translate the ancient Aramaic scriptures will help straighten out our understanding of what the authentic biblical text actually means and will strengthen our grasp on what it is that God is actually doing. There is not much else in life that I want. We are all coming from a place of great inadequacy of such understanding and grasp. Well, at least I know that I am. I am spending too much of my life on waste, while I know that everything must be an investment in God. But an investment in what of God, and how? Let's read Alexander's book and find out!

How can even a single clear concept of God not be worth fifty dollars? We ought to be supporting Victor just because of the work he is doing for us. If we read and believe the ancient Aramaic scriptures the way the ancient Aramaic church did, then we are a part of that body of believers. The Church is eternal, timeless. The mind that perceives the Truth of the Church is joined to it. And one guy, just one, is translating its sacred text to us. Come on, guys (and gals), let's pony up some cash to support Alexander's making of the movie that will explain all this stuff to the whole world.

Jethro, the Good All Things Work Together For, is Our Becoming as God Is

Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, was not a man but rather the goal of God that Moses discerned from the myths of Egypt. Not that Moses knew what that goal was. That was the mystery he was trying to figure out in his contemplation of Jethro: "What the heck, God, is your goal? What is it that you are doing?" The obviousness of there being some goal underlying the myths was 'Zipporah,' the little chirping bird that Moses had been given.

What was 'Jethro?' The fulfillment of our destiny to become as God is. We know the verse from the King James Version of the Bible, "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8: 28).

I say this for all who are so excited about manifesting the things they want. "I'm attracting money, riches, property, fame, and prestige." I have said in the past that God's goodness to us is Jethro. But the things we manifest are not God's goal except as we manifest HIS manifestation. Our ultimately becoming as he IS is Jethro, the good that all things work together for.

From Alexander's translation from the ancient Aramaic (http://www.v-a.com/bible/romans_8.html):

28. We know then that those who love Allaha in everything, He helps them toward goodness, those whom He consecrated beforehand to be called. 29. And beforehand He knew them and gave them the mark in the likeness of His Son's image, that he shall be the holy Sacrament* of many brethren. 30. To those whom He beforehand gave them the mark, He called, and to those whom He called, he sanctified, and to those whom He sanctified, he glorified. 31. What shall we thus say about that? If Allaha is on our side*, who is against us? 32. And if He did not interdict His Son, except on behalf of us all, He delivered him, how is He not going to give us everything with him? 33. Whoever receives the election of Allaha, Allaha sanctifies. 34. Who holds [them] responsible? The Messiah died and rose, and is on the right of Allaha and prays on our behalf. 35. Who will separate me from the love of the Messiah? Tribulation, poverty,* danger, the sword? 36. As it is written in Scriptures, “Because of you we die every day, and are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.” 37. Except through all these we are victorious, by whom that loves us. 38. For he delivers us, that neither death, nor life, nor kings, nor governments, nor armies; neither those that shall rise, nor that are destined, 39. Neither height, nor depth, and neither any creature can separate me from the love of Allaha, who is our Maran Eashoa Msheekha.

So when Moses is contemplating what Jethro is and God reveals himself and Moses asks what his nature is, God tells him, "Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh" (Exodus 3: 14; ancient Aramaic per Alexander): "I-it is absolutely I-come. Ashur, the creative imagining, his becoming." I.e., "I am Jethro, and I become by imagining." He is working all things together for this good: him being us becoming birthed as him.

Exodus 3: 14 is the answer to Romans 8: 28, "What is the PURPOSE OF GOD for which all things work together for the good of them that love God?" The answer is Jethro -- that we might become him.

Who gives a rat's hiney what we can GET? Let's care about Whom we can BECOME!

The World is So Weird People Just Cannot Believe It

Tell a person that they are God, and they look at you weird. Tell them that they can cause things by imagining and they will think you are crazy. They'll think you are nuts, off your rocker, a gullible fool. But the truth of the Universe is that the Ineffable Source of everything is birthing itself into this dimension via its imagination. As a consequence, we are it and everything is caused by imagining.

Our destiny of fulfilling scripture by maturing into the individualized manifestation of the Ineffable is probably inescapable. The mechanism that works us that way is the Law, the very nature of our being. We do not know what that is, but it is working its way out, becoming discovered via experience.

We are the imagination of the Ineffable which is making this world. Inside our body is an identity which says, "I am . . . " That is you, an individualized imagining of God: Adam. You have within you a creative imagination, a "rib" which comes out as that which births your imagining into your living situation. You are a father giving birth to yourself. The Ineffable by creative imagining is becoming this world. Obviously, we have got to get our act together.

The known nature of God became unknown when we became ignorant children. That was Abel dying. The nature is still there, of course; we are just unaware of it. The way to get back to knowing it again is Noah. Noah is feeling that what you desire is your existence. It is being there, thinking from where you want to be. All the facts of the world that tell you that what you want to have you do NOT have, you allow to die to you. Rise above their flood in a state approaching sleep, but not quite there, and fully ignore them. Then remain faithful to the sacred thought you have of your new world, the world wherein you HAVE what you desire. That world fills your mind and becomes -- here's the weird part of it -- literal to you, although it is only imagined. You have to feel that you actually have it. Imagine your friends commenting about it. Physically, in your imagination, see and feel and taste and hear that place as "here." Sense that you are there, that the thing you desired you have. And fall asleep in that "there" state.

Believe you receive, and you will have.

Dynamo: Jinns, Demons, or Just the Exercise of What We Are?

In watching videos of Steve Frayne, "Dynamo, Magician Impossible," there are obvious allusions to Christ: walking on water, levitating before Christ the Redeemer and among spires, fish flowing from an empty bucket, provisions given meeting various needs, transfigurations and teleportations, etc. Muslim and Christian commentators conclude Stevie has sold his soul to the Devil and the miracles are the work of demons and jinns. Why are such supernatural acts considered proof of Christ's deity, but of Frayne's jinns?

“Believe [it] that I am in my Father, and my Father is in me; and if not, believe [then] in the works. Amen, amen, I am telling you, that whoever believes in me, these works that I do, they will also do; and that greater than these they will do, [now] that I go to the Father. And whatever you ask through my name, I will do for you, so that the Father is glorified through his Son. And if you ask me in my name, I will do it" (John 14: 11-14; Alexander).

Believe what? That Jesus is the lone Son of God, or that we all are Jesus Christ? Must there be demons involved just because we can't figure out how well practiced and video edited magic tricks are done, or might Frayne be exercising what we actually are -- Christ -- causing his world by faith, an acquisition of causative imagining born through much practice? I am not saying that Frayne is performing miracles, the video illusions are convincing and entertaining (dudes, it's entertainment!), but why do religionists jump to the conclusion that anything beyond their experience and understanding must be demonic? The ignorance of the superstitious never ceases to amaze me.

Where Judaism Lost It: Paraphrased Scriptures of Oneness, such as Exodus 3: 14, Misread and Misunderstood

It struck me some time ago that the 'ehyeh 'asher 'ehyeh (I AM THAT I AM) of Exodus 3: 14 could be an interpretation of the ancient Aramaic Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh, which I believe to be the original MEANING of the text. The original meaning of the scripture was our oneness with God (see Victor Alexander's notes on the text; http://www.v-a.com/bible/supporters/exodus_1-4.html).

Moses was wondering about Jethro, God's "jutting over" -- his superabundance, his blessings of life and of every good thing in this world. I believe Moses asked God, "What is your nature (which brings forth Jethro)?" For that is what the Hebrew word for 'name' (shem) means. God responded, "(My nature is:) Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh."

Ahiyeh means 'it absolutely is me that is coming.' The one who comes (not 'is') is the Ineffable. The Ineffable has no form or body by which to move. The only thing It can move is Its imagination. The imagination of the Ineffable is Its action of moving. The action that is the Ineffable's imagination is Its form, Its image, Its manifestation, Its "Son" -- the "Child" of Proverbs Chapter 8. The imagination of the Ineffable is The Ineffable also, and this imagination has become us. We are the ACTION of the Ineffable, Its moving, and we are the Ineffable also.

Ashur is God as Creator -- the Creator God. This is Imagination, capital 'I,' the action of the Ineffable which has become everything, including us. Its action is our action; our action is his. It is Imagination, the action of the Ineffable, which becomes. Nothing becomes except by the Son, the Ineffable's Imagination. What becomes manifest IS the Son, which is the action of moving -- the imagination of the Ineffable. All existence, all matter, is the Ineffable's Intelligence manifest.

Hiyeh means 'his becoming.' He who? Ashur -- the Imagination, the action, the "Son" of the Ineffable -- everything that is the Manifestation. The Ineffable is saying that what becomes manifest by his and our imagination is absolutely HIM. There is nothing else: everything is It!!! It is everything. Everything, whether created or uncreated, is this One being.

I was wondering how this non-dual oneness of the Ineffable of the scriptures became corrupted into the dualistic "wholly-other" God of modern Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. I think that 'ehyeh 'asher 'ehyeh -- "I AM THAT I AM" -- may be a Hebrew paraphrase of Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh's original meaning: "I (the Ineffale) am coming, Ashur, the creative imagination (the source of Jethro, and of which creative power you are), I am its becoming." This would mean that the Ineffable is the great, self-existing I AM that we -- Its imagination/action which has become manifest -- are also. Yes, God is the great I AM, but we are included in Him.

The problem with the Hebrew paraphrase is that it can be misread to mean, "I (the Ineffable) AM THAT I (exclusively) AM (and you are not)." This introduces separation and division between the Ineffable and us, a duality that did not exist in the original! What confusion this has caused! What effort of twisting rational thought it takes to "read" the scriptures of our oneness with God as though they said the exact opposite. The religionists believe that God is "wholly other," separate and aloof, while the very point of the scriptures is that there is no other! God is e'had (Deuteronomy 6: 4) -- one made up of many -- Him and us.

When God said, "I said, 'You are God!'" (Psalm 82: 6), he wasn't kidding. We aren't "gods"; we are the Big Guy! Unaware, stupided, but Him nevertheless. There isn't anything but Him -- everything is him -- even us in our ignorance and confusion. We are Him becoming. Prayer is rightly Him moving BY our imagination. I believe that the greater mass of Jewish and Christian theology, God's exclusive separation and division from us, is based on a mistake!! It. Isn't. There.

Whoops! I was going to say that God also put the Child of Proverbs 8 in our hearts per Ecclesiastes 3: 11, something that Neville taught, where the "Child" or stripling is represented as 'eternity' or 'the world,' the Ineffable's Son (David) AS us, but the words are not there in Alexander's translation of the ancient Aramaic! (http://www.v-a.com/bible/qohlat_3.html; see verse 11):

Qohlat (Ecclesiastes) 3

1. There is a season for everything, and a season for every wish under the sun.
2. A season to be born and a season to die, a season to plant and a season to harvest,*
3. A season to kill and a season to let live, a season to tear down and a season to build,
4. A season to cry and a season to laugh, a season to writhe and a season to dance,
5. A season to cast stones and a season to gather the stones, a season to hug and a season to spurn,*
6. A season to annihilate and a season to love, a season to pack and a season to unpack,
7. A season to tear and a season to sew, a season to shut up and a season to speak,
8. A season to have mercy and a season to hate, a season for war and a season for peace.
9. And what is the benefit of that which he does?
10. I saw the labor that Maryah gave humanity to toil with.
11. Everything that he does is beautiful in its season, as no man* can find out what works Maryah has performed from the beginning to the end (emphasis mine).

The words of the KJV translation, "also He hath set the world in their heart," are missing. Why are they not there? Probably because they are a glossed-in comment made later by some scribe -- a paraphrase of the original Exodus 3: 14! He - Ahiyeh, the coming Ineffable; set the world - hiyeh, his becoming manifest; in their heart - Ashur, his creative imagination/action as our heart-consciousness. Alas, we are him in the ignorance and death of this forgetfulness. The ignorance of separation, duality, must be overcome! God is One, and we are included in Him! Imagine your humility and stature, your love and your grace. Move there, and hold onto your station!

Neville Goddard Practice: Demons Are Not Needed, but Practice Is

John 5: 19 " . . . Amen, amen, I am telling you, that the Son cannot do something from out of nowhere,* except [from that which] he sees his Father doing; for these [things] that the Father does, these also the Son likewise does. 20. “For the Father has compassion for the Son, and whatever He does he reveals* it to him. And much more than these works He will reveal to him so that you will be [utterly] amazed" (Alexander's translation from the ancient Aramaic: http://www.v-a.com/bible/john_5_audio.html).

* Notes:
5: 19 “That the Son cannot do the thing from negating [contrary to] himself.”
5: 20 “Shows.”

As the Manifestation of the Ineffable and Eternal, we cannot do things that are not in Its nature. Conversely, we CAN do anything that is in Its nature. Its nature is our nature, and our nature is Its nature: we are just one big happy family and One being. We are the Son, the Sent, and the Father has compassion for us, and whatever He does, He shows it to us that we might do it also to the utter amazement of everyone. And some people are not going to like it.

In my own meditations I have encountered demons and/or deceiving spirits, but here's the rub: I have always been conscious that they are me, manifestations of my own ignorance. I (and I suspect you) do not need demons to mislead me or to make me ignorant -- I can manage quite well on my own, thank you. It is the nature of death and ignorance to prefer the states of death and ignorance. The Devil is the core of evil in me, and he wishes to keep me in my immaturity. Immaturity, that is what 'evil' is. What is beyond it?

Practice matures us. We get to see by it. Revelation. A baseball batter gets better by practicing. Pitchers, too. Even Shaq got better at freethrows. Neville Goddard practiced relocation, which was being somewhere in imagination that he wasn't physically. He practiced revision of his day's events nightly. He says in the Mental Diets recording, "by an inner effort of intense attention; to listen attentively, as though you heard . . ." This is practice. The fellow who had bum legs practiced imagining he was playing polo and hiking the Alps with his friends . . . until he could play polo and hike the Alps with his friends again. The woman in The Law and the Promise (page 19) who wrenched her back as a child practiced swinging on that same swing in her imagination until she could fly out of the seat and land successfully . . . and her back was healed. What people in Neville's case histories didn't practice and practice and practice before they succeeded?

Were there a Jewish Jesus besides Mark's Gautama, he practiced meditation as all the teachers of right did in that era. The most popular ancient Jewish book not found is the Book of Meditation. Every father was charged to begin teaching his son(s) by the age of seven how to meditate according to the book. What are you teaching your sons and daughters? The basic common meditation is awareness of one's present surroundings. But practice, practice, practice, and the world opens to you.

The truncated Evangelical Gospel assumes any miracle performed by man, anything they don't understand, is the work of the Devil, because heck, they can't do it. "Out of my washer, you out-of-balance demon!" They do not themselves practice imagining to cause, because they believe we are separate and divided from God, so to do what the Bible tells us to do would to them be rebellion. But their Gospel isn't the Gospel. Christ has come? Yes, but Christ has come as US! Most Christians do not even have a copy of real Bible translated from the ancient Aramaic. And the only thing they do practice is misreading their opinions into the corrupt versions of the Bible they use! concluding always, "Hey, I'm right!"

In my latest to DeBorah, the lovely quadriplegic "Son" (which we all are), I suggested that she suspend her quest to discover what she has missed in getting healed and just worship God -- God within her as her imagination. There isn't any thing else to be gotten or done, but to practice ministering to the Lord, and practice, practice, practice, until he shows her what he does that she might do it too, that we all might be utterly amazed.

Uh, may I suggest that we all practice? Thanks.
