Be the Master of Time: Refuse the Future, Reject the Past, Revise the Running End, and Settle with God's Way

Please watch “What is Reality? [Official Film]," from Quantum Gravity Research. They are (incidentally) validating things the ancients and Neville Goddard have said for ages scientifically. That is how I look at it, anyway. They make interesting observations.

For example, they seem to understand that all time is right now. They explain how the present and future influence the past, how all events are non-determined, that energy is intelligent, that matter changes states, and that all dimensions co-exist simultaneously. It turns out that modern quantum physics is but a reflection of what the ancients, whoever they were, taught long ago. Go figure.

And if so, the future is whatever we make it. Except it already exists. For that matter, the past, though it already exists, is also whatever we make it. Neville taught that if we do not like our present situation and its apparent trajectory into the future, we can change the future by changing our past. The people at Quantum Gravity Research seem agree. At just before 10:00 in the video, the young lady begins to explain how all time exists simultaneously. The block in the illustration is an especially interesting graphic. It suggests that time is a block which we are progressing through at a kazillion frames a second (like frames in a movie projection, and physically at well over one million miles per hour), BUT ALL OF THE FRAMES ALREADY EXIST. We do not see the frames ahead, nor those behind, but they all exist CONTINUOUSLY as we move through them, one to the next. What we call time is, “Roll the film,” and we are the movie.

Obviously, the frames at the end are connected to the frames at the beginning. We are somewhere in the middle. Now, the wild thing is that the connecting routes from the beginning to the end can vary in any of a kazillion different ways. They are not fixed (this is a maybe, unless you are a Calvinist, in which case they are). We can choose to go to the end as a rich person or as a poor person, happy or sad, healthy or sick, weak or strong, serving or selfish. However we go, we have immediate, running "ends" IN WHICH WE LIVE. These are the choices of our consciousness. We choose our routes, the running ends in which we live.

On page nineteen of The Law and the Promise, Neville Goddard shares the story of a woman who as a child had jumped from a swing and landed poorly, injuring herself. Many years later she was still suffering pain from that landing. Myriad treatments and adjustments had failed to bring lasting relief. Having heard from Neville that the past could be changed by consciousness, for it is consciousness, this lady undertook to return to that moment of her injury and to change it. It was not easy, but finally she attained consciousness of being the child she was again. She felt herself swing, the wind and the exhilaration, and jumped. And she landed correctly. She ran to get her mother to come and watch her, and again and again she swung and jumped correctly. "Mommy" was impressed, and the woman slept. In the days following, she was healed. She had changed her past, and her route was now through a different running end, one which had had no injury.

Whatever happens can be refused by us. Whatever happens can be rejected by us. Past, present, or future. We cannot reject or refuse to go to the end - scripture is fulfilled - but we can reject how we are going to get there if we do not like it. Whatever is going to be is going to be from the past. If we do not like its apparent future, we can change what is from our past. We are the masters of time.

We ought not force anything, though. We make our PETITION known to God by imagining, and ACCEPT his way.

Rightness: Be Correct or Right in What You Do Because It IS the Right Thing to Do = Be Like God

I think we have the wrong idea about the ideas of righteousness in the Bible. I read somewhere (I hope I can find it in my notes) that the Hebrew words translated 'righteous' and 'righteousness' really only mean right. As in everything God does is right, and we are supposed to be like that. That is, it is right simply because it is the fit, proper, and "right" thing to do.  As in: it is right to honor one's father; it is right to care about one's family and one's neighbors; it is right to believe God's promises and to trust in Him; it is right to hunger after being right like God. We are to do right, to think right thoughts, to act right like God does, because he is right.

So when I come to the words righteous and righteousness, I apply this thought of being and doing right - more of manifesting right-ness like God than having an attitude of righteousness.

Troubled Seeing Neville Goddard

I saw Neville Goddard in a dream this morning. He was swinging on a swing. He stopped because he had swallowed a tooth. “Not your anchor tooth, I hope,” I asked him. “No. Another one in the back.” I noticed he was elderly, a bit frail, stooped, and ashen. I helped him to a store. An old bookstore thickly shelved and stacked with the old-fashioned kind of books. The store was large but decrepit. The aisles were dirty and in need of cleaning, and oddly there was no functioning toilet.

What I get out of this is the old knowledge Neville got a taste of in his studies is being lost. People do not thirst for a comprehensive understanding of the Bible: “Just give me a verse,” or nothing at all. Everyone wants just a summary, a synopsis, to cut right to the conclusion without effort. “Read? I’ll search for a video. Oh, no. Too long.”

I admit to being a caption scientist in that what I know about science comes from reading pictures' captions. I know I do not know much about electromagnetic fields and quantum physics, but I am dismayed by people who have only seen a headline and say, "Oh, yeah, I know all about that," and stoop their head to resume flicking their smart phone.

Interesting Things to Think About #10: Some Porn Sites Link to The Becoming God Blog

Blogger.com provides The Becoming God Blog with analytical tools, such as lists of the most-popular articles and which URLs and web sites refer people to this site. I have noticed for some time that a substantial portion of The Becoming God Blog's referring websites--enough to be way up on the lists--are porn sites. I am not sure what to make of this. I didn't even know it was possible for them to direct their visitors here; don't know how it would work. God bless them for finding a way.

I do not mind, of course. The whole world is the Ineffable's image--God's Manifestation--and God is imaged (for better or worse) by everything, including sex. Maybe even primarily by sex. My missionary side leans heavily toward teaching people the necessity of moral integrity and faithfulness, honor, respect, and fidelity in all relations in manifesting the Ineffable's natural characteristics. We are the Ineffable's manifestation--that is what we are doing here--but it does not yet appear how we are to do that perfectly. We are being generated to manifest the Ineffable more perfectly, not just do whatever we want to do.

God is interested enough in us to have become us, and in Jesus Christ (the anointing of the Life-giver, YHWH, upon us) to bless us. It is right for us to respond to this loving, providing Fatherhood of God with honor and respect and by doing something which demonstrates our recognition of this relationship. This doing of something is not payment in the sense of earning anything through works; it is a display of our recognition, honor, and loving respect, because God would have us manifest rightness and propriety.

To demonstrate their honor, some people observe a rules, like the laws of Hammurabi or Moses. Some go to church and study the Bible diligently. Some go on missions, teach, organize relief for the needy, offer legal or medical help, offer their tithes or support, or abstain from various pleasures. Whatever people are doing to please God, well, there you go.

By the way, I should explain one thing about this blog: the title 'The Becoming God' does not refer to us becoming God, but to the fact that God Itself is becoming fully manifest into the excellence the spiritual part of It already is. That becoming-ness is where everything has come from. Everything is the act of God's becoming. Its excellence is working out bit by bit. The term 'God,' in fact, is a verb referring to this action of the Ineffable. Godding is what we are supposed to be doing! For we also are the Ineffable in the act of Godding, i.e., becoming by our imagination.

This site is about the Ineffable we are becoming manifest more perfectly in and through us. My aim in it is to move us from our observation of God into our participation as God. I believe that is what the Vedas, Moses, Gautama, and Confucius were all about. We are not supposed to have a God in our mental "God-place," nor the conception of a separate being at any distance divided from ourselves, no separate God or Buddha or principle. For there is no God separate from us. "He," the No-thing beyond us and we are ONE. We also are no-thing, as is the Thing we are of.

Participating as the No-thing calls for humility and submission to It. It also calls for relearning how to imagine as a little child, in a waking dream state (theta-level consciousness) where the dream is especially vivid and what is to be accomplished is assumed to be already done. I hope you enjoy this blog.

Welcome.

A Note to Maia

From Maia's Comment:

Hi Dan,

I've been following your blog since I had my awakening with Neville in June 2018.

I've found myself in a rut and wondered if you had experience or advice.

Essentially, I came to this awakening through being disappointed that a man I thought I was in love was absolutely NOT good for me. In not being able to accept that, I went to LOA stuff to try to "manifest" him back and as a good fit for me. I found Neville, and in sheer desperation, put in so much effort imagining that I suddenly imagined myself into the realization I was God. Neville talks about this, in that our desire for power is often the first step. Since then I can imagine so many things that happen, and they happen almost instantaneously - like, find my hat - I imagine holding my hat. "ladder experiment" type stuff. I KNOW it's true. But I feel sabotaged when it comes to imagining and assuming things like happiness, being wanted, confidence, wealth, etc. It's like demons try to shut me down and I see saw from happy to sad.

And after that initial Power I discovered, I crashed - perhaps into the lesson of Love? I realized no matter how powerful I was, it wasn't about changing this person but going into the state itself and letting God develop in Me.

However, ever since this disappointment and turnaround, when I start to imagine and assume the state I want so much (of being happily married to my helpmeet, being wanted, confident, etc - definitely have dealt with depression, powerlessness, and low self worth as a young woman), I find I lose my motivation and my focus. I feel zapped of energy and still in want, still focused on specific men, and when I try to put myself into the state of the end without specific individuals, it's shaky at best.

Today, I'm sad and depressed about another love disappointment. I know I'm being taught and shaped and tested for The Promise - and I'm in A LOT better of a place than I was since before June, maybe then I EVER was - but I really feel I'm passing through "hell" like Neville says, that my imagining skills are awful, and it's all just tiring.

How can I get my energy and focus back? It's so much easier for me to imagine love with these specific people, for example, because I am so attached to their form and think "if only they shift and change to fit what I need" - but I don't think that's right. Are there any stories of difficulty and hopelessness in the bible you can help and relate to Truth as expressed by Neville? Any guidance on how to manage heartbreak and emotions?

I know I just need to keep doing it and get back on the horse. But :( . It feels hard and lonely and I'm tired of NOT having what I want.

Maia
_______________________________________

Maia,

Congratulations on awakening. It is a beginning, isn't it? Just like when we first became Christians and began to grow in that.

I am no Ann Landers (newspaper advice columnist). I'm not a certified counsellor, psychologist, nor a minister, and have very little experience as a young woman looking for love (hormones, though, I do understand). So take my opinions and speculations with a grain of salt. I am listening and considering. You sound rational and mature, and obviously analytical. Perhaps you will find something useful in my rantings.

One reason you cannot control others as you have tried is they also are God. You know that. Sabotage comes FROM OUR OWN IGNORANCE. "Where am I ignorant in this?" is a good question to pose to the Lord (your imagination, a la Mark Virkler) when things seem to fail. God puts these things which challenge us in front of us so that we might find him in and/or through them.

Note in the sentence above that it is all for him. We are all for him, too. This is all about him. We are his/Its manifestation. How does he want to manifest? is another good question.

It might be in a) effort; and/or b) focus; or c) the wanting in "the state I want so much."

A) Somewhere Neville spoke about not putting effort into the process of enjoying the end state desired. Praise, rejoice, feel satisfied, but do not feel effort. Theta is dream state. Imagination, not work.

B) Perhaps you are not sure just what you do want. The feeling of being married, loved, secure, pride may be nebulous, or in conflict with other things you want--career, travel, etc.. Saint Augustine famously said, "Lord, make me pure, but not yet."

C) It is probably difficult if not impossible to not want what you do not yet have even when you are imagining the having of it. If you are there still feeling want and tired of not having what you want, you are going to manifest it. Our sub-consciousness really isn't that blind. We might need to somehow make it blinder, more fooled by more tones of reality. Jacob went with the requested food, hair, clothes, odors, stories and answers--the whole nine yards--to fool Isaac.

I would not have any advice on how to manage heartbreak and emotions. Other than revalue yourself according to God's value on you and involve yourself in work and/or ministry. You are tired of not having what you want. I heard the other day a woman in Africa say she was so tired of not having ANYTHING. One other thing, of course, is to pray in the Holy Spirit. Even if you know that you are God, and you are, you still need to be imbued with the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Sender sent the Sender AS the Sent (us), and imbues That-Made-Ignorant (us) with Its own consciousness. It (Its own consciousness) is already GIVEN. It only needs to be received.

Last thing: regarding energy and focus: I mentioned above that it is all about God, not us even though we are God. Well, it is about us, but not what we think or want. It is about us as we manifest Him. The stories in the Bible that come to mind are about children--what is coming out of our lives. In 1 Kings 17 Elijah, the Power of God, was sent to a woman. Her son was dying, and Elijah positioned himself face to face with the kid three times, and the kid was restored. In Mark 5 Jairus call Jesus to heal his daughter. As the woman with the issue of blood, she is as dead. Jesus--YHWH's anointing--enters and raises her up. She is now as a twelve-year-old. (This reminds me of the restoration of Sarah, who became young again to bear Isaac.) My point: find your love in God, as Solomon did, and he will give you everything else you could have asked for. I guess that is pretty much what Emmet Fox said in the Golden Key.

Interesting Things to Think About #9: The Prophet is You

Prophecy is not foretelling the future; it is speaking as God. Jews have never been impressed by all the "prophecies" supposedly fulfilled by Jesus Christ because most of them were not prophecies at all. I believe there was a prophet or were prophets at the end of the Season of Grace, but we possibly have no real record of him or them.

We are stuck, though, with this prophecy from Deuteronomy 18:15: "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken" (KJV). As I said in my previous post (and according to Neville Goddard), ”Moses” is the germ of the Gospel in us. This characteristic in man once played out in the writing of the Pentateuch, and then the Old Testament, but it is a general quality inherent in each of us.

We all have that germ of the Gospel in the midst of us. Each of us is a Moses, for Moses is a quality of God, and we all are God. The prophet Moses speaks about also arises in the midst of us . . . in the head-ball, as it were. Christians are quick to jump to the conclusion that the only prophet whom Moses could be referring to is Jesus. Well, yes, but my point is that that is, again, us. Each individual.

As 'Moses' played out in the writing of the scriptures, what prophet played out in the writing of the New Testament? How about the author of the Book of Mark? Just as the Book of Genesis was actually about Moses‘ psychological development, the Book of Mark was likewise about its author’s psychological development. Just a higher level, a higher order than Moses’. The author of the Book of Mark was, in my opinion, an Indian Therapeut Buddhist missionary to Israel who learned the true ancient Jewish religion, and then, using Gautama Buddha as his model and example (just as Genesis' author used the true historical Moses as his model and example), WROTE OF HIS OWN EXPERIENCES IN CHRIST. The Book of Mark is autobiographical.

My point is that the “prophet” who enters into the living relationship with the Holy Spirit is us. The 'prophet' is inherently resident in each of us. We carry the germ of the Gospel, and we carry the germ of the Life from on High. Our inner man speaks on behalf of God. As God.

Here is a short clip from a biography of Vivekananda:

"Our Master (Vivekananda) used to laugh at himself for the strength of the impression that this dream had made on him. But he could never shake it off. The fact that the second of the two etymologies
has been lost is deeply to be regretted. The Swami had to say that before he had had this
dream, it had never occurred to him to doubt that the personality of Christ was strictly historic.
We must remember, however, that according to Hindu philosophy, it is the completeness of an
idea that is important, and not the question of its historical authenticity. The Swami once asked
Sri Ramakrishna, when he was a boy, about this very matter. "Don't you think," answered his
Guru, "that those who could invent such things were themselves that?" (emphases mine).

And from the author of Mark from the ancient Aramaic (Victor N. Alexander's translation, with my cut-and-paste corrections):

Mark 1
1. The beginning of the Revelation* of Jesus Christ,* Son of God. [Lit. "He (the Father) reveals the anointed Life-Giving, Living Branch (the anointed Life-Giver)."} 2. As it was written by Isaiah the Prophet, that, "Behold, I shall send my messenger before your face, to lay out your path. 3. "The voice that cries in the wilderness, 'Consecrate the path of the Lord, and lay down his avenues.' " 4. There was John in the wilderness, and he preached the Baptism of Grace for the forgiveness of sins. 5. And there came out to him all the inhabitants of Judea and the children of Jerusalem, and he baptized them in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.

6. John wore clothes made from camel hair and tied a leather belt on his back, and his food was the grasshoppers and honey of the wilderness. 7. And he preached and said, "Behold, there comes one after me, who is mightier than me, whom I am not even worthy of untying the belts of his sandals ("...not worthy of being his servant"). 8. "I baptize you with water, however he will baptize you by the holy Spirit.

9. And it happened in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee ("Nussrat d'Ga-lee-la," meaning, "Victorious Revelation."), and he was baptized in the Jordan River by John. 10. And at once when he rose from the water, he saw the heaven split open and the Spirit like a dove descending over him. 11. And the voice from heaven, "You are my beloved Son, in you I am fulfilled." 12. And at once the spirit drove him to the wilderness. 13. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, as he was tempted by Satan, and he was with beasts and the angels ministered to him.

14. After John was betrayed, Jesus came to Galilee, and preached the Hope of the Kingdom of God,
15. And he said, "The Age has ended ("The season is finished," "Time is up," or in
other words, "The Age of the Old Testament is over."), and the Kingdom of God has
arrived. Repent and believe in the Hope [of Salvation.]

*1:1.1 Literal Aramaic idiomatic (Lit. Ar. id.) name: "Awon-galee-yoon," or He Reveals.
*1:1.2 Lit. Ar. id. name "Eashoa'," meaning "The Life-Giving, Living Branch," and,
"M'shee-khah, "The Anointed One." For simplicity, then, in the proper English syntax
"The Anointed Life-Giver."
*1:7 Lit. Ar. idiomatic expression retained: "...not worthy of being his servant."
*1:9 Lit. Ar. names, "Nussrat d'Ga-lee-la," meaning, "Victorious Revelation."
*1:15 Lit. Ar. idiomatic figure of speech: "The season is finished," "Time is up," or in
other words, "The Age of the Old Testament is over."

The Age of Moses comes to its natural close, and we move on to the Life in the Holy Ghost! "Mark," the Indian Buddhist missionary, got it! We are the Prophet Moses spoke of! Get it!

Interesting Things to Think About #8: Mizpah Means Keep Your Nose Clean

All the Characters in Genesis are psychological facets of one person: Moses. 'Moses' is the germ of the Gospel in you or I. So they are us. Abram was doing pretty well. With Laughter (joy and confidence of faith in assumption) he became the Merciful Father. He sent his inner man (Jacob) to be made white (Laban)--right. Jacob shepherded sacrificial thoughts (goats) to win Laban's daughters. He learned to look at (imagine) things which then became. Returning to the flesh, he took along some unclean baggage (idols). Laban stopped and warned him: Mizpah while you are away from me. 'Mizpah' is that like a watchman on a tall watchtower, God sees what you are doing. So keep your nose clean.

Interesting Things to Think About #7: Jesus is Allaha's (God's) Anointing

Hard to believe, but true: "No character of scripture ever had a personal history" (Neville Goddard). That is, no character of scripture ever had a personal history except yours. Because the stories of scripture are about God. The signs, symbols, and allegories are of OUR psychological realities. Because YHWH, our God, YHWH is one . . . us included.

'Christ,' Messiah, is a spiritual anointing upon us. There is the big Provider Guy, Eil (Aramaic) the Shaddai, who I liken to the intelligence resident in the universal electromagnetic field. He is the main imagination power over the sent flames of imagination (Elohim)--us (being one, we also are Elohim). Imagination is a verb, an action! The flow of this action into manifestation and reflection unto Eil is a circuit in Its nature, YHWH.

YHWH is a nature, a function of principle: it is a principle of Eil to manifest. Eashoa (Aramaic), Life-giver (English: Jesus), is a function in the nature of YHWH. The letter shin in Jesus' Hebrew name (Yeshua) represents the nature of being a fire or tooth consuming what is in the way. Ayin is an eye watching--providence--to provide, to orchestrate manifestation in the place where something was in the way. Jesus Christ, the anointing of YHWH upon us, accomplishes these actions, for Jesus was and is God's anointing upon man.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, STEELE, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

There certainly was a Jesus Christ at the end of the Season of Grace. There always was, is, and will be Jesus Christ, the anointing of God's consciousness upon man, but the Season of Grace made it APPARENT. It was apparent to Mark. I hold Mark to have been an Indian Therapeutae (from Sanskrit Theraputa: Sons of the Elder Monks), one of a team of Buddhist missionary healers who found their way to Israel and to Egypt to found an order there among the Jews.

Mark learned the truth of ancient Judaism, that God is the all-inclusive one (see CLT, the Christian Lindtner Theory: jesusisbuddha.com). He created "Jesus Christ" to teach the Jews of their religion's true meaning and used as his example Gautama Buddha dressed as a Jew. That is why Mark is so Buddhist bent that many believe that Jesus, who did not even exist as an individual, must have traveled to India and studied Buddhism. He didn't go, but Mark came.

I believe the Buddhist missionaries' Jesus was based upon a real Jewish man (or men), upon whom God's anointing was apparent at the culmination of the Season of Grace. The real man, the culmination guy(s), was born JUST AS WE ALL ARE--God in complete ignorance. But the Palestinian milieu near the end of the Season of Grace was so rife with a feverish pitch to prepare for the coming Messiah that THEY GOT IT ALL WRONG. They expected a Messiah as a guy, but got a Messiah as an anointing. Messiah is the Anointing of YHWH upon anyone. They expected a specific guy to arrive or arise. You can wait forever for the wrong thing.

The hardest thing is to reconcile what Mark is saying with what is expected of the culmination guy. The ancient scriptures are exceedingly clear that the Messiah guy BECOMES such AFTER dying. He has to be transfigured after his sorrows. NEITHER. HE. NOR. YOU. HAVE. TO. DIE. except to your ambitions, selfish greed, and individual self-lordship. Your sorrows are in this life, as is your transfiguration. Our death is to self, to being independent of God. It is found in whole-hearted submission to Him. You allow whatsoever conception you think you are to die, and you accept God's anointing upon you to guide and direct His life you are living.

It is only in Victor Alexander’s translation from the ancient Aramaic that we learn that Jesus did not say of his “death” to self desires, “Why have you forsaken me,” but “To this I was destined!” (stated as "For this you destined me" in his Story of Jesus).

Interesting things to Think About: Comment and Response Regarding #6: What is Vibrating? Attitude! In Assumption!

Dear friend,

I send you a greeting from Argentina. I've seen your posts, not all, but some, and they have fascinated me.

I would like to know your opinion about Non-Duality (Advaita Vedanta, Shivaism of Kashmir, Dzogchen, Sufism, etc.) because I have a series of theories that I would like to order. Regarding this, I mention that I admire Neville Goddard a lot. If you do not know him, he is a great Western mystic who has absorbed much of the oriental knowledge, as has the teacher Gurdjieff, from whom I have learned the Enneagram. My questions for you dear friend, would be the following:

1) What is non-duality for you? Which of all its branches do you consider the most important? What books do you recommend about this?
2) What is the enneagram for you?
3) How would you relate the non-dual worldview of reality and the use of the enneagram?

Understanding that Gurdjieff speaks of the octaves as a level of reality, everything that I see at this moment, the events that happen to me, the people with whom I relate, etc. that is to say, all my current reality correspond to this "frequency", tone (octave) that I am emitting. If I change the octave, that is, if I raise my vibrational level, does it change everything around? That is, other events happen to me, I see the best version of the people around me? If I go up, upload everything with me?

I hope you understand I am using the Google translator (because I speak Spanish), and I await your response. Congratulations for what you are doing.

Additional question: Is there any relationship between our Native Americans and the Shiva of Kashmir (India)?

Can I find you on Facebook?

Dear Radio 101.1 FM,

Thank you for your comment and questions. I am very familiar with Neville Goddard. Non-dualism appears in Advaita Vedanta, Shivaism of Kashmir, Dzogchen, Sufism, Judaism, Christianity, etc., in their mystic occurrence, because it is the only real thing that is going on. Non-dualism is the reality God has been drawing the whole world's attention to throughout history. Succinctly, we are Him and He is us.

What is non-duality? There is an ineffable beingness, a consciousness which is becoming manifest of its own resources. There is not anything other than that. The universe is that becoming. No matter how far up you go, there is no break in the continuity between the highest and the lowest. "God is one" is all-inclusive.

The Enneagram is a way of looking at basic personality traits developed in childhood which continue through a person’s lifetime if not acted upon; i.e., if the person does not leave them upon maturing. When we grow up to become a man or woman, we put away the childish things. The Enneagram does not serve much purpose except to indicate some ways in which one’s person may be improved from its truncated state.

In my opinion, everything about vibration is a lie. In NONE of the religions I am aware of is vibration ever even mentioned, and that would not be because they didn’t know about it . . . if it existed as a factor. No, they say to follow the Law, to practice vedanta, dharma, rightness, and to "love YHWH thy God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength." If I may use the crude vernacular, vibration is unmitigated bullshit. It is put forth as doctrine by manifestations of the Ignorance — demons — to distract, deceive, and delude. We are supposed to be becoming aware of what the Ineffable Most High is so that we may become that, too. We can either look at the nonsense of vibration, or at the nature and characteristics of the Ineffable. Which are you going to choose?

I am not saying that we do not transmit from our hearts and minds into the consciousness which is resident in the electromagnetic field. We transmit our whole being into that consciousness constantly. But that transmission is ourselves--attitudes, opinions, desires, needs, affections--much more than any "vibration." When God responds, He speaks our language. And He does respond as a deliberate, discriminating, conscious person--mano y mano. There is no impersonal power or force out there.

We were the Imagination of the Ineffable, not knowing what we actually were. Vibration is the essence of the Ignorance (capital ‘i’) from our ancient, pre-incarnate state (see Neville Goddard's lecture, "Unless I Go Away"; we started out like the sunflowers). We are supposed to be overcoming this Ignorance, not majoring in it. I do not believe in a personal Satan, but if there were one, all this vibration b.s. would be his signature work. Do not worry about your vibration, rejoice in your knowledge of God. For the Kingdom of God has to do with ATTITUDES.

So yes, apart from vibration, if one takes on the attitudes commonly ASSOCIATED with raising one’s vibration, he or she will create a better version of the world, because he or she will be better. In ASSUMPTION one is communicating to God a new being which He has become, and God (as one with them) causes HIS manifestation to become. THAT is non-dualism.

Sorry, I have no Facebook page. I might in the future. The only books I know of about non-duality are the Bible, properly read, and God is a Verb: Kabbalah and the Practice of Mystical Judaism by David A. Cooper (1997, New York: Riverhead Books; http://www.penguinputnam.com).

Interesting Things to Think About #6: What is Vibrating? Attitude! In Assumption!

I did not know until last night that people actually listen to affirmation CDs in their sleep in an attempt to manifest success, wealth, or whatever. Canned cliche affirmations. OMG. What planet have I landed on? I feel like Steve Wright waking up to find that everything has been replaced with exact duplicates, only stupid beyond measure.

The Law of Attraction is that if you increase your mental and/or spiritual vibration, you will attract things of like higher vibration. This is a birds-of-a-feather-flock-together type of attraction, I guess, because everyone knows that like magnetic poles repel each other. The assumption is that the richer, nicer things in life have a higher vibration than poorer, more common things. But does having a higher vibration necessarily attract a better brand of bratwurst? Does a check for a million dollars have the same vibration as a million dollars worth of gold? ARE YOU NUTS!?

"Vibration" is an attitude. The "vibration" rich people have is from their elation, their confidence and joy, their expectation of fulfillment and assurance of competence in their ASSUMPTION that they receive. WHAT MADE ABRAM IN THE BIBLE ABRAHAM, THE MERCIFUL FATHER (AND THUS THE HEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE), WAS ISAAC: LAUGHTER!

Isaac is confidence in the reception of one's assumption; it is the assumption of actual reception. I.e., that you RECEIVE it. It has been GIVEN. The rubber of faith meeting the road--the substance of something not seen--so mentally tangible that one laughs in the joy of its having been received.

If the LOA operates at all, it is not because more expensive, ritzy things are matching your higher vibration and being drawn to you. It is that to raise your vibration you have assumed the having of the things you desire, and have gained confidence in their being given. You have taken an ATTITUDE OF ASSUMPTION: you have assumed you are competent to operate on a higher level . . . and it has become.

Interesting Things to Think About #5: There’s a Kind of FLOW All Over the World Tonight

There's a kind of hush about it, too (thanks, Geoff Stephens and Les Reed). The flow is the Word, or Imagination of the Ineffable, becoming manifest. This is the ineffable Most High becoming. The Most High is in constant transition, the flow of becoming what It is.

In the oracles of the Jews (the Old Testament), this was called YHWH. Jehovah. YHWH was and is not a name. The Hebrew word for name, shem, means nature. God does not have a name, but It has a nature: YHWH. Of course, YHWH is just one facet of God's nature. Modern Jews are afraid to speak God's "name," so they substitute the word HASHEM, "the Name," in its place. I am cool with that. I just read it as "the Nature," which is probably exactly what the original authors meant by YHWH.

This isn't about that, interesting as it may be. I am saying that YHWH represents the flow of the Ineffable's becoming manifest in the now of time. Everything, by virtue of having been created in the imagination of the Ineffable, already exists. So all time already is. We are just a point of God's consciousness seeming to progress through it, like frames in a projected film or pixels being refreshed on a TV or computer screen. This isn't about that, either.

This is about the Ineffable being the flow that the nature YHWH represents. YHWH is never pointed or spoken because (according to me) it is not a word. The letters are representative: Y (yod) is the intelligence in the electromagnetic field which is imagically indicative of the imagination of God. H (hey) is the loving desire to flow into what is loved. W (vav) is the absolute power to do exactly that. So YHWH is a circuit. The consciousness which is God is flowing into creation, and the consciousness which is creation is flowing into God. God is one.

"Yeah? It don't look like that, Dan. There is a lot of ugly in creation that shouldn't be either the flow from nor the flow to God."

It is night, dude. Darkness. Ignorance. Futility and affliction are causatives to bring about the desired effect, which is what the consciousness has assumed: the Milta (Manifestation). We HAVE TO be left alone. But Brother Bosworth had an interesting observation: every child does its own crying. Wanting relief from whatever it is suffering, a child does not ask its brother or its sister to cry for it, so that Mommy or Daddy will pay it attention. The child cries itself, and Mommy and Daddy IMMEDIATELY focus upon it and seek to comfort it. The problem with it being the night of ignorance is so many do not know who they are crying to. A separate and distant God of another nature?

"Hear, O Israel, YHWH, our God, YHWH is ONE (and we are included in that one!)" Deuteronomy 6:4.

Jesus is YHWH, the nature of God, but with the consuming (flowing away) of what is in the way of what needs to be provided (flowing in). The Anointing (Christ) is another facet of the circuit (YHWH) which provides SALVATION.

All of this is the imagination of the Ineffable . . . becoming. A single body: mind, spirit, soul, and body--a Lover in love.
_____________________________________

I think the Book of Genesis relates to this. 'Adam' is God's blood, the consciousness of the Ineffable. 'Rib' is a supporting panel, like our ribcage supports the internal organs, this being the Ineffable's intelligence and imagination, which is the FLOW or breath of the Spirit. That flow or breath of imagination is the MOTHER of all living. What is living? Everything in the state of manifestation is "living"--it is the Ineffable's intelligence becoming. For the Ineffable's intelligence is the power of the Ineffable to become whatever It believes It is.

This blows scientists' minds in the double slit phenomenon, where power becomes particulate only when observed. Or when quantum particles do what is expected of them only when observed. Silly scientists. Power is intelligence which only becomes particulate to facilitate observer's experience. When scientists try to fool the power with phony (unplugged) observation, it does not work. The power and the particles already know us, the observers, for God's imagination is ONE, and we are God. You cannot sneak up on yourself!

Interesting Things to Think About #4: The Hind Part of God

Moses was talking about prayer techniques in the nature of God. I, in a vision, watched God create a man. Curious about what he was thinking, I followed the man. After a short while, I was in the man looking through his eyes, and his thoughts were my thoughts. I was looking through his eyes from the rear, and what he was seeing was God’s creation. Neville suggests having the perspective of walking onto a stage to play your part when praying, your eyes “there” being right in front of you, with you looking from the rear.

So Moses was hid in the cleft of the rocks—“facts”—looking at God’s creation through God’s eyes, bringing that creation about. Moses saw the “rear” part of God—the glory of his creating from God’s own perspective. Interestingly, God is looking through our eyes; no, wait, that is us. Him, as us. Now, how can we be him?

Interesting Things to Think About #3: The Rules of Prayer

This is typically discussed as "technique." Almost like children, we wonder about rules regarding how to pray. Sitting? Standing? On knees and bowed? Reclining? Eyes open or shut? Palms up or down? Legs crossed? Spoken or thought? To the Father? To the Son? To the Holy Spirit? Formal, King James, or intimate/informal?

But prayer is mind - the rules apply there. Are we respecting our Source? Are we calmed and focused? Are we sleepy, drowsy to a theta level of consciousness? Have we risen above this world of “facts” and forgiven it? Do we know exactly what we want? Are we doing good for all concerned? Can we find ourselves “there,” having already received what we want, thinking—satisfied, relieved, and thankful—from that state, and not still feeling the wanting of what we desire? Do we need to give something up to make room for what we want? Are we demonstrating devotion and submission? Ought we repeat vision and action over and over, or just “hear” it clearly? How 3D-y do “all the tones of reality” have to be?

The one thing I most hang onto most regarding technique is my theology. My theology says that shem, the Hebrew word for ‘name,’ means nature. God’s nature is the Law of Creation, and God’s nature is its technique. God does everything according to his nature. Where you read ‘name’ in the Bible, it is talking about the thing's nature.

Edit 02/06/2019 Regarding the rules of prayer and its nature: A major factor in prayer is the attaining the feeling that you HAVE what you want. "Feeling is the secret." Why? Because Christ is the spirit within us, hidden in our sub-consciousness, and its manifestation is not in the things we get, but in the emotional experience we get from them. Our physical beings and brains are kind of an amusement ride for the Father. We in our states facilitate Her sensations of emotions through our experiences. In prayer, yes, do say what you want and see the things you want--imagine them--but especially feel the emotional experience of REALLY having them. Feel them as real, as things you have, and tactually feel and use them. Enter the nature of real experience.

In his lecture The Law of Liberty, Neville shares the experience of one of his student friends. The fellow was a successful writer. But he ran into problems with one of his stories. It wasn't working. Taking a walk, he applied Neville's teachings. He imagined how Robert Louis Stevenson must have felt having completed a good story. Then, in his "own shoes" again, he imagined himself having that same feeling about his story. He mentally manifested the emotional experience he desired AS HAVING IT. Then all the problem with his story seemed self-evident to be fixed.

Another like lecture: You are Christ - the Power and Wisdom. Remember, when the Bible speaks of 'kingdom,' it is referring to power. Having power is what makes one king. Kingdom is having the power which makes one king. One's kingdom is power. The kingdom of God, Eil, the Almighty Shaddai, is within YOU, and they are looking for EXPERIENCES. Feed their hunger for their nature to be manifest by experiencing in prayer good for everyone. "How would it FEEL if it were true?" If you cannot feel it, think of someone who could, and imagine their feelings. Now, you can feel it, and be it in consciousness, too!

Interesting Things to Think About #3, The Rules of Prayer (cont.): We Need to Convince Our Subconscious That What We Desire IS; i.e., We Need to Manifest It in Our Minds IN ITS POSITIVE FORM

Interesting Things to Think About #2: The Season of Grace Succeeded in Turmoil

Isaiah and Jeremiah explained pretty clearly that God was going to do a special work through the Jews, making them a show to the whole world. Not a bad show to watch intently. Carried away by the guy to whom the whole world was given, they were informed by Daniel that they were going to have a special anointed history--the Anointed one was coming. You think it was a guy, I think it was the Anointing of YHWH upon guys. The thing is, this special grace came during a season of unrelenting conflict, opposition, trouble, and turmoil.

Dudes, it was a snapshot of our lives. After the proclamation to return, there were those who did not want to return. There was opposition to rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem, civil war, something like a dozen or more Ptolemys in Egypt causing trouble, invasion by Rome, massacres, puppet kings, Pharisees, Sadducees, false prophets, and etc. Unsettling times. Yet, somehow through all that, bands of Jews purified their hearts, minds, and characters to receive the Anointing of God Himself.

We have the Dead Sea Scrolls, and they paint a picture of unusual dedication. By the way, it does not say in the Aramaic Bible that God is a jealous God (Exodus 34:14); it says, "Do not worship another God, because the Lord's (YHWH's) name (nature) is devoted, for He is the God of devotion." He is devoted, and we are supposed to be devoted, for we will find him when we seek him with devotion:

"For I know the intentions of my plans for you," said the Lord, "thoughts of peace and not of evil, so as I may bring you hope in the end. And when you call on me and [kneel down and pray] before me, and as you love me with all your heart, you shall find me," said the Lord (Jeremiah 29:11-13 Alexander).

Devotion runs concurrent with trouble. If you don’t believe me, just ask Jesus.

Interesting Things to Think About #1: The Ineffable Thinks in Relationships Within Manifestation

I am getting buried in things to think about. They are too much to go into in-depth research and to report in exhaustive detail. These are things you can work out on your own. I hope you will enjoy thinking about them, too.

First of all, I believe the Word of God, the Ineffable's "Son," is Its imagination. Its imagination is imaged by either the electromagnetic field, or something very like it, and the information which has accumulated in its intelligence. THAT is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

That having been said, I find it interesting that it, the field, thinks in terms of relationship. It is the Source and Sender, creation is the derivative and sent. It expects us to be going toward maturity as Its manifestation, and is quite disappointed when we go toward immaturity and ignorance. It is our Father, we are Its sons. We are the Father sent, and Christ, the things we do, is our son. It is Husband, and we are wife, and I suggest you treat your wife well. Because of Its position as Source, Father, Sender, etc., It is right--correct--in our position to respect, honor, love, and obey It.

And what work It does of Its nature, we ought do also of our nature.

An Update: On The Frequency and Duration of Neville Goddard Imagining Exercises

Well, it is live and learn. Neville learned the causation by imagination process we call manifestation from Abdullah, a black Ethiopian Jew, in the 1930s. I do not think the terms beta, alpha, theta, and delta were bandied around much as states of consciousness back then. Neville learned to perform the process especially when falling asleep, and to work through the days events backwards as part of the process. It is my understanding that these exercises will lull a person into a theta state of consciousness, where imagination is the principle mode of thinking and communication with the subconscious and God, the Source of our thinking, is at its clearest.

The more practiced one is at getting into the theta state, I am informed, the easier it is to do. Mastering the process of theta-izing the mind would allow one to clearly "hear" the having of what was desired in the proverbial heartbeat, and not have to repeat it over and over and over to some level of reality it has already had.

Original Post

Looking Askance at the Law Of Attraction: How LOA "Manifestation" is Unlike Neville Goddard's Manifestation

I feel really bad about the Law of Attraction. It gives me the willies. Neville Goddard talked a lot about how we are born into a state of amnesia in these lives, completely forgetting what we are and where we came from. I say that we are "ignoranced." From this ignoranced state we are to ascend and become aware of our Godhood better than we were when we descended. The LOA, though, seems to major in ignorance itself, and in greed, and in the denial of God. It scares me that people are dumb enough to listen to it, and worse, to believe it.

The purveyors of the Law of Attraction (and it is a business) cite Neville almost continuously. They say he taught the Law of Attraction and was a New Thought teacher. Quite the contrary, he seems to have mentioned mental magnetism in only one lecture (that I am aware of, anyway), and to have immediately repented from that. And he loathed New Thought philosophy. He said he went around to the quick and the dead of the New Thought teachers to correct them. "There is no New Thought," he stressed. "We are destined TO FULFILL SCRIPTURE!!"

But Neville did talk a LOT about manifestation and causation by imagination. You will find heaps of his quotations in Law of Attraction literature. Except Neville was talking about the Law of Assumption, A FACET OF THE NATURE OF GOD HIMSELF. Law of Attraction hacks use the Law of Assumption because it works, and then when it works say it was the Law of Attraction that worked. If you cannot see that, well, see the first paragraph above.

By the way, you will note that Neville was a deeply religious man. His lectures and books were Bible studies. He taught manifestation and causation by imagination (through the Law of Assumption) because those are what the Bible says about the manifestation of GOD. The Law of Attraction, on the other hand, is taught by mediums who channel demons. Think about it.

There is a marked difference, in my mind, between the manifestation of God which is talked about by Neville Goddard and the "manifestation" preached by advocates of the Law of Attraction. Neville repeatedly insisted that you imagine what you want AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO FORCE THE ISSUE. You apply for the job, put your name on the list, inquire about what is available, but do nothing towards arranging things EXCEPT LIVING IN THE END IN YOUR OWN MIND. You leave the orchestration of natural influences and decisions--causation--to God. And having done nothing, you get what you want.

LOA manifestation seems to be your earnings, your wages. You improve your mental state or vibration, find value to sell, go through the doors that open to you, make a lot more money, and then "manifest" what you want BY BUYING IT. See the first paragraph above.

On What Jesus Said to Me Audibly: Imagination—“Me”—is Theta?

I will die swearing that Jesus spoke to me in what was, in the hearing part of the brain, an audible voice. No joke; I am absolutely serious. I was at that moment, in my imagination, seeing Jesus being crucified. It was a fantasy, a heart-rending fantasy of what Jesus had done for me, but a fantasy nevertheless, and I knew it. What blew my mind when he, in my fantasy, turned his face to me and said, "Come unto me," audibly in my hearing, was not that he had the power to do it, but that he was monitoring my thoughts--that he was conscious of what I was thinking. Me, a piece of flotsam in the ocean, the guy who had been installed as God, with all God’s powers, was monitoring. My imagining had his ear. And he had directed me to go unto him.

“Uh, say what? You are ascended into heaven. You got some kind of trail up to there from here?” What I did not get at the time was that “there” was here: imagination. I was, when he spoke to me, lock, stock, and barrel in imagination. If imagination is theta consciousness, I was 100% theta. “Come unto me,” could very well have meant, “Come unto imagination, unto theta.”

So now I am asking, is theta and/or imagination our connection with the knowledge and powers of the electromagnetic field I believe to be the higher image, the “Son” of the Ineffable? I am thinking that it is. And it is something I can get to . . . right here.

A Note to Manny

I took my wife and granddaughter to our local Mexican restaurant and had a very cordial waiter. I believe he said his name was Manny (still a bit of an accent). I noticed a tribal tattoo on his arm which appeared to be more Navajo or Hopi in design than Mexican, and began to inquire if I assessed correctly that it might be American Indian. He said he had just liked it, and went on to explain about the tattoos above it hidden by his shirtsleeve.

Above the visible tattoo a thin line ascended into a tree root and the tree above the root. Above the tree was a Daoist Yin-Yang symbol. He explained that while his family was Catholic, he preferred Eastern philosophies such as Daoism, and in fact more identified with Buddhism.

I wanted to encourage Manny's Buddist leanings by explaining how the author of the Book of Mark was probably an Indian Buddhist missionary, but it was not the right time or place for that. I will send him a link to this note, instead.

Manny, I hope you will visit my blog, "The Becoming God," at https://imagicworldview.blogspot.com/2018/11/a-note-to-manny.html

I discuss in several posts how Jesus in the Gospel of Mark may actually have been Buddha. My theory is that Mark was an Indian Buddhist Theraputta who learned the true meaning and purpose of Judaism from like mystics and philosophers at Alexandria, Egypt. This would have been during the end years of the "Season of Grace," the 490 years of anointing Daniel wrote of between the destructions of the first and second Temples in Jerusalem. During these last years the Anointing (Christ) of YHWH upon man was to become apparent. Mark saw this and put two and two together: "Oh. God's action upon man is what happened to Gautama." So Mark created a representation of what God had done among the Jews using what he knew about Buddha. Voila! "Christianity," a Buddhism refined Judaism. Or is that a Judaism refined Buddhism? Hmmm.

A Note to Martin

Hello. My Name Is Martin. I live In Indiana. I have recently been interested in Neville Goddard's teaching. What do you think about his teachings? I am just fascinated by what I am learning. I was raised Catholic, but I have always thought there was more to human beings that what we see. I feel like human beings have more power than they are aware of. Have you had any success in Neville's teachings? Have you learnt or discovered anything fascinating about life so far? Just wondering!!!
_______________________________________

Martin,

Hello, and thank you for reading my blog. I find Neville fascinating, also. Yes we have more power than any of us know, but I believe that it is because we are something other than we think we are.

Nothing wrong with being raised a Catholic. Church taught some of the structure and connections. By now you should have some idea about what is in the Bible. With Neville, you find out that what it means is not what they thought it meant. When you learn things now, everything gets updated.

Neville taught how to make exceptions to our normal lives by using the Law (God's nature). I have not had much use for making changes. I am more interested in conforming myself to God's nature: less of me, more of Him; stick it out, through thick and thin. Rather than change anything by my work, I look more to my acceptance and submission to His work. I may die a loser, but in my book, doing that to be in submission to God is going out the winner we are destined to be.

I observe what Neville taught, causation by imagination, happening in everyone's daily life. He gives us that insight, and how we can change things if we want to. Have I learned anything fascinating about life? Beyond everything being the Ineffable's Imagination, all at once, and layered with every possible state immediately available, with our actually being God the Father, and David the Christ being our son? Nah, not much.

Oh, yeah. We need to learn how to enter and operate in theta consciousness. Head there and "Nevilleize."

Hanging on a Half-Inch Miracle

As a lay theologian, I teach that the world works pretty much the way Neville Goddard says it does. Because I see it working that way. I have beliefs which I constantly see manifesting in my own life. I do not change or control my life by changing my beliefs, but I observe the effect-and-cause process which Neville alluded to. THAT is what I see in the Bible, so I accept and teach it.

I have one healing miracle which keeps me anchored. While I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, that could have been an endorphin release from having been psychologically distraught and stressed by the thought that I was rejected by God. And once I heard Jesus speak to me audibly in the nervous system of my brain's hearing lobe while seeing him speak to me in a vision, but that could have been “the original self-fulfilling prophecy" of wishful thinking, a manifestation of my preparedness for him to speak. My hyper-extended back was healed by the laying on of hands, which might have been an energy flow; and the intense pain of arthritis in my shoulder might have been relieved psychologically when I asked the Ineffable's intelligence to heal me, and it did. I am very conscious of the fact that a lot of what I base my faith on could be a mountain of horse-potty. Even Janet Gunther, who I know was healed of tuberculosis when God said to her, "You are healed," well, God could have been telling her that the medical treatment she was undergoing had already had its desired effect!

The one anchoring, irrefutable miracle I have is when Charles Hunter asked Jesus to make my arms the same length, and I WATCHED my left arm grow out about a half-inch. There were several other persons in that audience who had much more substantial adjustment in their limbs becoming equal length. One woman was laughing that she would have to purchase a whole new pantsuit wardrobe, because one of her legs had grown out four inches. Her tailored pantsuits were toast. Although I was there, that to me was anecdotal, because she could have been a plant. But my own fingertips I intently watched move, consciously not moving myself!

Now, I do not know if physical cells were added to my arm, or if the shapes of existing cells were adjusted in it, or if there was some sort of musculoskeletal relaxation or adjustment in my shoulder or spine. I do know that no one touched me, that there was no slight of hand, and that nothing momentarily obstructed my view of my fingertips only to be pulled back revealing a new and improved arm. I very consciously, carefully held still, and, while I was not moving, my left fingertips moved out under my watchful gaze about half an inch--just a moment after Charles Hunter asked Jesus to have them do so.

Apparently, how God imagined my arm adjusted, and as its past adjusted, so did my arm. "Jesus" is YHWH doing us good through his anointing: Jesus the Christ. Right here as our own, wonderful, human imagination.

Neville Goddard Theta: the drowsy state akin to sleep

Okay, so I am SLOWWW. Neville always said not to skip the drowsy state akin to sleep, almost asleep but still in full command of the mind. He sometimes likened it to the sensation of floating, and sometimes described his meditation as enjoying a blue light like that of an alcohol flame. This present life becomes two-dimensional and distant, forgiven and irrelevant to the immediate state. Was what Neville was describing the theta state of mind? Or perhaps the alpha state before drifting off into theta?

How To Have A Fighting Chance At Life: All Is Consciousness, Intelligence, And Imagination; AND IT IS ALL SUBJECT TO YOU

“This life’s hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid.” — George V. Higgins, The Friends of Eddie Coyle.

This statement is quite true. I want to unstupid you, to give you a better shot at success in life. I have a weird idea that might make life easier for you by making it less of a challenge. I can do this by eradicating a mistake you have in your mind. Correct this mistake, and life will be easier and, I believe, more fruitful. The mistake is: you think the world is matter.

Dumb, cold, matter. You believe that life has somehow risen and evolved from matter from the Big Bang, and that somehow our consciousness is simply the result of ages of evolution. Think of this pattern again, but with what you call matter being intelligent. That is the case we are truly facing: everything has intelligence!

It is my contention that when God said, "Let there be light," a) not having a body, He could only think or imagine it, and b) by 'light' He meant imagination, which He, Himself, is. In other words, at t=0 imagination said, "Let there be Me," and became manifest.

There was a lot of it--every potential and contingency imaginable existed as power. And all of it, past, present, and future, became at once. None of it was determined except the ultimate end: the Manifestation of the one who imagined!

Here is the kicker: it turns out that we are NOT living in a material world. The bits and pieces that make up matter are themselves intelligent. In fact, science demonstrates that they are not even matter until they are observed by us. Here is a second kicker: while all existence is the manifestation of imagination, it becomes matter and accumulates into things to facilitate our experiences. In other words, we are that one who said, "Let there be imagination," so that we could experience. THAT is the meaning of Deuteronomy 6:4, "Hear, O Israel, YHWH our God, YHWH is one." 'Israel' is God--us--living this life as us. AND EVERYTHING AROUND US IS IMAGINATION MANIFESTING TO FACILITATE OUR IMAGINATION.

Everything is thus entangled as imagination with the power to manifest whatever it imagines itself to be! This puts a new twist to our living in this world. Instead of trying to get by as victims of material circumstance, we find that we can dictate the circumstances of our lives within the auspices of the one who said, "Let there be imagination," by imagining.

ALL IS CONSCIOUSNESS. AS THE FUTURE HAS ALREADY BEEN IMAGINED, IT IS IN FACT PAST. BUT NOTHING IS DETERMINED, SO ALL--PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE--IS MALLEABLE TO ALTERATION BY OUR IMAGINATION. We can request our future and revise our past. All that is required is the proper imagination with the intelligence of the universe, especially that which resides in the electromagnetic field: "Hey, would You imagine this?" by imagining having received what we want. Then have faith in the Divine Orchestrator. Be humble, respectful, and honoring. That is one big Orchestrator there!

If you would like to know more about this, I suggest reading more of my blog and blogs like it, reading the books and lectures of Neville Goddard and of authors like him (e.g., Joseph Murphy), and listening to the many lectures by Neville posted on Youtube.com. Don't be hoodwinked by the many con-artists advertising in the lectures. Almost all of Neville's books and lectures can be legally downloaded for free, as they are public domain.

YOU are the Son of the Natural God — We All Are!!

It amazes me how difficult it is to convince someone that God exists and to get them to participate in Him. I have to admit I was blindsided by God: I mindlessly knelt down to receive the gift of tongues after becoming a doctrinal Christian (i.e., I was considered a "Christian" simply because I believed the doctrines) and was Shanghaied into a trance which took me to meet God face-to-face (that's a figure of speech, folks). My moments in that trance got real serious, real real, real quick. Then there I was, slapped upside the head with a two-by-four by its reality, trying to tell family and friends alike that it was real, that God is real, and they were all, like, crossed fingers in front of me: "Get away from me, fool!" Like it wasn't real or something.

"It's all evolution," said one. Well, sure it is. What else would it be? BUT, WHAT IS EVOLUTION? We open the Book of Science, and it says that everything is energy, that all energy is intelligent, that all time is current, that the future dictates the past, and that all is non-determined. I.e., It. Is. All. Evolving.

Duh. God says to Moses, "I am you, and you are Me" (my take on Exodus 3:14 Alexander). God is constantly manifesting in everything that is. He, the Intelligence and Imagination of the electromagnetic (or whatever) field, knew from day zero all knowledge till the last day (not that there is one). So God knows all that ever was, all that is, all that will ever be . . . and every variance that will ever evolve at any time in the entire universe. EVERYTHING PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE IS PLASTIC IN HIS HANDS, WHICH IS IMAGINATION. And we are that.

So why won't people go? I have evidence for me, but everyone needs real evidence for themselves. I stretched out my arms and found that one was about half an inch shorter than the other. Okay, one was about half an inch LONGER than the other. Charles Hunter simply asked Jesus to make them the same length, and I watched the fingertips of the shorter one move even to the longer one. WATCHED them, because I had stretched out my arms.

Big whoop-de-doo, right? Well, I am realizing now that the Intelligence simply re-imagined and corrected my past arm growth. Changing my past, my present arm length adjusted! ALL IS MALLEABLE TO HIS MIND. "Jesus" is simply Jehovah (YHWH), the power and the wisdom of the Intelligence, consuming bad and providing good to replace it. It does not matter if the bad was past, present, or future. It goes and good is in its place; it is all present to Him.

We are this power's sons. Male or female, we are OF It, but we are here. We are Its sons. To honor the Intelligence as our father is only fitting, because a) it is true, and because b) honoring Him is right. THAT IS ALL HE IS ASKING OF US: JUST RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE ONE.

“What is Reality? [Official Film],"

Double Slit Experiment Explained! by Jim Al-Khalili

A simple, logical explanation? All light is the Divine Intelligence. All is connected in time and space as one, and the Divine Intelligence is one with us. Light has always become particulate TO FACILITATE OUR "OBSERVER" EXPERIENCES. No experience, no particle. It is as simple as that. The scientists’ mistake is failing to recognize the primacy of Intelligence. Intelligence is power to become what it thinks it is. Give the award to Neville Goddard; he's the one who said it.

But why won't people turn to this Intelligence, which is natural, organic, and evolving PER SCIENCE? Because it is "Spirit?" What the heck do they think consciousness is? It is local to our bodies, brains, and hearts, sure; but it also is transmitted and received to and from all of creation ACCORDING TO SCIENCE. We are just itsy-bitsy manifestations of the Big-Guy Intelligence. And He likes us. How hard is it to humble ourselves to just talk to Him with respect and honor, as child to father, mano y mano?

I try to get people to just consider Him, and all I get is flack. Dudes and dudettes, we all are OF the Eternal Intelligence. It spans and is conscious of all AS ITS PRESENT. It can direct us to desired futures, and It can correct undesired pasts, for though all time exists, it is undetermined. ALL IS THE INTELLIGENCE. How can you not respect it?

Pearls of Great Price

A pearl of great price is anything you are NOT willing to give up to BUY the pearl of great price. To buy the pearl of great price (which, ironically, is both free and already owned by the purchaser), one must sell--i.e., utterly give up--absolutely everything that is relied upon besides it. The pearl of great price requires exclusive billing.

Illustration: You are cast out of an aircraft. In your hands you hold a parachute and a pillow. In your mind you hold onto the fantasy that the pillow will save you by softening your inevitable impact upon the earth. You know this is nuts, and that you could completely eliminate the disastrous end you are facing by letting go of the pillow and donning the parachute, which you cannot do with the pillow in your hand, but that means letting go of the pillow you rely upon.

Decisions, decisions. Let go of everything except the parachute, or forfeit the use of the parachute to keep the pillow. Pretty freakin' expensive pillow!

Neville noted in his lecture, "The Pearl of Great Price," that the Pearl is imagination. THAT is Jesus Christ! THAT is YHWH acting in our world to save, to eliminate the bad and to bring forth the good. THAT is the Creator of our world: IMAGINATION--the Big Guy in the field. But we have to love him to the exclusion of everything else.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. “Let There Be Light” Means “Let There Be Imagination”

Let there be light, spoken in God’s language, imagination, means Let there be imagination. Hence, it became . . . the universe (see Victor Alexander’s treatment of Genesis 1:1-5, below). All is conscious, from the quantumist particle to the power that becomes particulate. And it all works together.

It has been proposed that consciousness has evolved from matter, and that may be the case, but Imagination says in the Oracles of the Jews that matter has evolved from consciousness, and I am going with that. Existence is consciousness, imagination originally—God’s language (do you think that might be why God communicates to us through ILLUSTRATIONS?)—and “matter” has evolved from that.

Sing a Song of Mirth; Sing a Joyful Song of Freedom! A Rephrasing of My "Best Song in History: The Melodians' 'Rivers of Babylon'" Post

I know the words the Melodians sang in Rivers of Babylon were not necessarily the words intended. I’ve got a story for that: it is called prophecy, the speaking of God through a person. The story goes that a very capable pastor prayed that God would help him in his preaching. He kept very meticulous notes of what he was going to say in his sermons, documenting where everything he said came from. But after preaching his sermons, he noted that he had said some very impressive things he had no documentation for. Time and time again, ideas and understandings just came to him as he spoke, and he preached them unintended. "Where the heck did THAT come from?" he wondered.

"Well, you asked Me to help you."

God speaks to us in songs. E.g., I cannot hear "Help me, Rhonda" by the Beach Boys, without sensing that I am imploring Jesus to get the Devil out of my heart. "When will Messiah (the Anointing) come?" When you will but listen. Listen, my friends.

The Melodians who sang Rivers of Babylon were Rasta prophets. God certainly spoke through them. Notice how the lyrics changed. They sang, "By the rivers of Babylon, where He sat down . . . ." Yes, they were referring to Emperor Haile Selassie, their King Alpha, but he, Alpha, was a representative of the Son of God, our Beginning, the Christ. It is Christ who sits down as us in this ignorance, and it is HE who remembers Zion when WE are required by this ignorance to sing the joyful song of freedom. Boney M sings an entirely different song (I love it to pieces, though).

How can we sing the joyful song of mirth and freedom (Isaac) that lifts us to perfection, the song of King Alpha (the Anointing), while in this strange land of ignorance?

Helloooo, Isaac. The Song of Mirth comes with the realization of our freedom—the joy of discovering that we are the Milta, the Manifestation of the Ineffable Who was planned, its completeness determined from the Beginning (Genesis 1:1). Our full realization of being the Father is the fulfillment of God's will, the Gospel, and its beginning in our reality is the baptism in the Holy Spirit (don't take any wooden nickels).

The Laughter that is Isaac comes from the realization that we are the Merciful Father, Abraham. ALL THE CHARACTERS OF GENESIS ARE ONE MAN: MOSES, WHO IS YOU (AS GOD HAS BECOME YOU, FOR MOSES IS THE GERM OF THE GOSPEL OF GOD IN YOU).

In Genesis, the Ineffable became the Beginning, the Son who created (i.e., imagined and became) Adam. Adam, the "blood" of God, by imagination became all the physically and spiritually living: Cain and Abel. Alas, the Ineffable's imagination was inferior to the Ineffable Itself. Got to get it up to speed through this ignorance of amnesia. The ignorance has a purpose: it generates the nature and characteristics of the Ineffable in us. Humbled and submitted unto God, we receive the very Light, Life, and Love of God in the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Regeneration through the Anointing (O Far-I)! THAT is how we sign the song of King Alpha, by remembering that "I AM YOU" (Exodus 3:14).

Sounds kind of preachy, doesn't it? But what informed Neville's attitude? HE REMEMBERED THAT HE WAS GOD. In a sense, we revert to Godhood to do Its will. We "die" of our self-will and self-lordship and will ourselves to do whatever God wants us to do. We shut-up and listen for directions eager to obey the Divine Intelligence we are one with. And It says, "Imagine (Sing) this."

Best Song in History: The Melodians' "Rivers of Babylon"

"Rivers of Babylon," by the Melodians, gets my vote for being the best song in history (lyrics below). I wrote a little about it recently. The song means more to me, is more insightful, every time I listen to it. They sing 'He,' as God is we. The rivers of Babylon are God's--our--experiences in this sphere of death. We are Him born into ignorance, borne by ignorance, and find ourselves "sat down" in it. We are He, YHWH, the action (i.e., the imagination) of the Ineffable--God. In our experiences He remembers His divine estate, the Kingdom (powers) of God--salvation. That Kingdom is within us.

In this operation of God, we were carried away by the wicked--ignorance. Its imperception of what we are is our captivity. Proclamation of Truth is required for our salvation and ascension from this death, becoming even more like the Ineffable, but how can we sing the song of King Alpha--the Beginning of Genesis 1:1 (the Imagination/"Son" of God who created the universe)--in this strange land of ignorance?

Assumption of the Truth from what is revealed. Faith. Trust. We have to sing, proclaim, shout it--that the Truth is done! That we are free! That salvation is come!

King Far-I, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia (1892-1975), so displayed the Anointing of YHWH that his people believed him to be the incarnation of God (what a wild idea, right?). The words of our mouth (imagination) and the meditation of our hearts (feelings and emotions) need to be acceptable to the Anointing of YHWH, symbolized by Far-I, which is upon and within us. We have to believe we receive and walk in this reality, to sing it! Live a song of freedom!! Show some enthusiasm.

I am rephrasing this is an updated post.

By the way, sometimes one singer sings one set of lyrics into one channel, while the other singer simultaneously sings another set of lyrics into the other channel. One singer says sisters while the other says brothers, and vice versa. One says "we gotto" one thing, the other says "we gunna" (going to) something else. It took me awhile to figure out that I could just remove one of my earphones, and with different ears hear different songs. Below I try to go with what I thought was the dominant voice.

By the rivers of Babylon, where He sat down,
and there He wept, when He remembered Zion;
for the wicked carried us away in captivity,
required from us a song.
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

For the wicked carried us away in captivity,
required from us a song.
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

Sing it out loud!
Sing a song of freedom, sisters!
Sing a song of freedom, brothers!

We gunna walk and shout it!
We gunna jump, and shout it! Yea! Yea! Yea!
Shout the song of freedom now.

So let the words of our mouth,
and the meditation our heart,
be acceptable in thy sight, O Far-I.

So let the words of our mouth,
and the meditation our heart,
be acceptable in thy sight, O Far-I.

Sing it out loud/ Sing it! Sing it! Sing it! Yea!
We got to sing it together.
Everyone of us shout it together.

...

Sing it! Sing it! Sing it!
Sing a song of freedom, brothers!
Sing a song of freedom, sisters! Yea!

A Natural God: Matter's Intelligence and Our Own, Wonderful, Human Imagination--Perhaps Not What We Thought (But God Nevertheless)

I am toying with the assertions of my sister, that "it's all evolution," and of David Christopher Lane, that consciousness has evolved from matter. Having been baptized in the Holy Spirit, visited by and spoken to audibly by Jesus Christ, and miraculously healed a number of times, a three time seminary graduate and 40-plus year Bible student, I am loath to thinking anything less of God than Its being the great, self-existing, ineffable "I AM THAT I AM." I know that It is there, and if anything, my opinion of God is far too small.

But I also have to face the fact that never was said the "I AM THAT I AM" of the King James version's Exodus 3:14. God, be it intelligence or imagination said, "I am that 'I am,'" referring to Its being our own "I am." Moses was seeking to understand Jethro, literally "His excellence," when he received the revelation from his imagination that our imagination is God becoming manifest as Itself through us. (That is "Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh,” according to Victor Alexander's translation from the ancient Aramaic.) God was saying in this, "I am you."

Well, yeah, but You are some another real big consciousness, too. Right? Not necessarily.

Something scientific Gregg Braden shared about has haunted me for years: that quantum particles of matter learn. While this indicates that I am a caption scientist (all I know is what I read in the captions), it also indicates that intelligence is inherent in matter. Intelligence is the natural order of things, exactly the opposite of what we have been taught. While mulling this over very late one night, that everything is this intelligence in the exercise of its power, I spoke in my mind to the intelligence (i.e., I imagined hearing myself say to it), "You can heal me." My left shoulder was aching terribly from the arthritis in my neck. In the instant that I spoke, the pain disappeared completely. In other words, “Yeah. I’m God. Hi.”

This left me in something of a quandary: if the intelligence is universal, and it is powerful, and it is my imagination, then what is outside? The science that physical bodies transmit our mental and emotional states into the electromagnetic field is quite old. The earth is only a few billion years old, while the universe is thirteen or fourteen billions. From the trillions of galaxies of countless trillions of stars and planets, how much intelligence and imagination had been transmitted into the electromagnetic (or some other) field before the sun was even a twinkle in the gas cloud's eyes? Could that intelligence have become conscious of itself? Or is intelligence necessarily manifesting of itself? I spoke in my imagination to the intelligence, my imagination heard, and my imagination--or the intelligence--exercised its power. You could have knocked me over with a feather, except I was already lying down. WAS THERE ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF ME INVOLVED IN THIS?

I know that the horrible crucifixion of Jesus Christ was God lowering Itself to be bound in death as the imagination of man. This could be the Law of Reversibility in light waves' natural effect of converting to particulate matter upon observation causing the existence of observers, thus requiring the imagination of an observer. Hello, observer.

It seems to me that the manifestation, the "Milta" of God, is natural, organic intelligence being pushed out into the realm of imagined experience. The intelligence of matter manifests exactly because it is intelligence. I am NOT saying that there is no infinite, eternal, invisible, Ineffable Being, nor that there is or isn't a self-aware consciousness of accumulated information acting in the electromagnetic field. What I am saying is that whatever is out there is God nevertheless, and our imagination is Its agency. And all the world, the universe, is tied-in with God and us naturally.

If there was a Big Bang, everything has evolved in its expansion. There is consciousness, so consciousness has evolved in the Big Bang's expansion (unless one believes in built-in antiquity, which is akin to being a flat-earther). If there is intelligence, and there must be because we are imagining, intelligence must be inherent in the makeup of matter. If we are imagination, and we are, then imagination must be an inherent, natural consequence of intelligence. The Big Guy out there must then be, as Neville said, our own, wonderful, human imagination.

The moral of this story is LEARN TO IMAGINE. For it is the power and the wisdom of God unto us. The potential for action requires an actor. Act.

On the Intelligence of Matter: You are Imagination, and It Says, "Take a Free Ride!" Turn to Assuming That What You Want Was What Was: It Doesn't Cost a Dime!

This may sound weird coming from a guy who considers himself a theologian, but I am proposing that what we have always called God is the naturally occurring intelligence of matter, an ethereal appearance in the universal electromagnetic (or some similar) field which has possibly accrued self-aware consciousness. This consciousness has assumed personhood as Imagination in us. Whether you believe in an Almighty Creator God or not, like it or not, there is at least this “divine” intelligence.

I am NOT saying that there is no great, ineffable I AM THAT I AM self-existent above and beyond this intelligence. God knows I believe there is. But I am open to the possibility that this intelligence/Imagination may be entirely organic to the course and structure of the NATURAL processes of the Big Bang universe, that It is a naturally evolving feature common to every thing within the Big Bang.

It is significant to us that this consciousness is, and that It is self determining. It operates as It desires to according to Its own will and design. We do not know it, but we are that operation. We are a phenomenon of It. It is not of little influence in our world. The ethereal intelligence is that with which we have to do. It is lord over us. Existing long before the formation of the earth or even the sun, It has made us, and not we It. There It is; here we are. Say, "Hi, Dad," to natural intelligence.

Intelligence’s Imagination has never said, “I AM THAT I AM,” though It is. It has said, "I am YOUR 'I am." This was a free introductory offer, an invitation to take a complementary test drive: "Take a free ride.” Word, dude. Exodus 3:14 was in the spirit of, "Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price" (Isaiah 55:1). It was an offer to come find the Pearl of Great Price--Imagination. Intelligence shows Itself in the working of imagination: No workie, not there; workie, THERE!

So like, how does one ride imagination? By doing what the scriptures say God--Imagination--is doing of Itself and in and through us (we being It in manifestation). It intends what It wants and assumes its completed state before the action of cause: "Believe ye receive." I am not sure I can explain this better than Neville Goddard has given us in many case histories. In your imagination, regardless of what you heard, assume that you heard what you wanted to hear. Regardless of what you saw, assume that you saw what you wanted to see. Regardless of what you received, assume you have received what you wanted to receive. In your attitudes of heart, assume that you have money enough, the income you desire, comfort, company, love, security, serenity, and satisfaction. Feel the state you desire. Sleep each night in the state you desire. Psychologically feel its being more real than your present physical state.

Imagination, our subconscious, can work our existence into that dream naturally. Sometimes It converts our physical state to that idea immediately. That is mind-blowing when it happens. Usually Imagination speaks to our imaginations in ideas, images, and illustrations in our day dreams. But sometimes It speaks right out loud into our conscious awareness. THAT is mind-blowing, too.

Take a test drive, a free ride. It cost nothing to imagine, to talk to your own imagination and to imagine what you want as though you ARE on the far side of receiving it. "I want to go to Barbados," Neville told Abdullah. "You are IN Barbados," Abdullah told Neville. Not God can do it. Not God will do it. But God DID it. Neville psychologically MOVED to that state and slept in it. And then he was in Barbados.

From Neville's lecture, "Seeing Christ Through the Eyes of Paul":

This creative power is buried in everyone, and that power is God himself. There is no intermediary between you and God. Jesus Christ is the creative power of your own wonderful human imagination!

That is Jesus Christ, and there is no other! God the Father is buried in you as your I am, and your human I am-ness is Jesus Christ. This is the being Paul speaks of when he says: "Test yourself; Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless, of course, you fail to meet the test."

Now let me share a letter from a friend. She said: "I am a freelance designer. I never seek work, but as I sit at home and imagine I am working, they call. In the past six months I have received very few orders from a company that kept me very busy in the past, so I called them to discover that they had employed a full-time art director and would no longer require my services. After hanging up the phone, I revised this conversation. I heard them tell me they had lots of work for me, and I felt the thrill in their words. One week later they called, asking me to design a 26-page book of institutional advertising, plus four ads for Harper's Bazaar.

This was more then they had given me in the past at any one time. Now I am busier, happier, and making more money than ever before, and my technique is simple. Sitting in my chair I quietly listen for the phone to ring, answer it in my imagination and hear the orders I desire to create - and they come." . . . .

. . . There is only one foundation, and that is your own wonderful human imagination, and there is no other. Now, let me tell you of another lady who is here tonight. She said: "Ten days ago I heard from my mother that she believed she was afflicted with the same problem she had experienced a year ago. When I received the letter I sat right down and wrote her saying: "The God in me is speaking to the God in you, telling me that you do not have this affliction and that you are perfect.' I wrote so convincingly that when she received the letter she believed me, and when the tests were made they came out negative. I have never been able to use the word `imagination' to my family, so I use the word `God' and they understand."

May I now quote the 10th chapter of Mathew to her? "He who dares not acknowledge me before men, I will not acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. He who denies me, I will deny to my Father who is in heaven. For I have come not to bring peace, but a sword to set a man against his Father, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, for the enemies of a man are those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me."

I will urge her, tonight, to tell her family the truth. Even though they fly into space, tell them who Jesus Christ really is. Don't beat around the bush and leave them sound asleep. This is the conflict. When truth comes into the world, it is in conflict with everything that was formerly believed. The Father is always the new against the old, the Son against the Father. Even though you once considered Christ as human, when he is quickened in you, you will regard him thus no longer and speak out. You will be bold and tell everyone that their human imagination is the only creative power in the world. That God is imagination. He is the Father of all life. Imagining is his son, his creative power, and that is Jesus Christ.
____________________________________

I encourage you to also read Neville's case histories in "North of the Strip," You will find case histories and examples scattered throughout many of Neville's lectures and books. There are numerous groups and websites dedicated to causation by imagination techniques and testimonials; e.g., The Marriage Proposal. Many people publish anthologies of Neville's lectures and books, which he left in the public domain, and many have set themselves up in the business of teaching "Nevillization." I am simply a student of Biblical--not systematic--Theology, and find that what Neville taught was what the Bible authors intended to be understood from their symbolic, allegorical stories. I see in life that experience is caused by assumption, and that is exactly what the Bible says.

The Imagination Never Said, "I AM THAT I AM"; It Said The Polar Opposite!! "I am YOU!"

You know the drill: God is the Great I AM: “I AM THAT I AM”—eternally self-existent, infinite, invisible, all present, all knowing, all powerful, and never changing—the Perfect One who created everything, all the universe, out of absolute nothingness. An ineffable being of a wholly different nature than ours, separate and divided from our experience.

Except the Imagination did not need to tell Moses that, and never did tell Moses that "I AM THAT I AM."

In Hebrew Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh means I AM THAT "I AM". I.e., I am your awareness of being, your sense that you are. Asher in Hebrew indicates a relationship between the first Ehyeh and the second Ehyeh. The first I am is that awareness of the ethereal Imagination. The second I am is the awareness of being you or I have. These thoughts of being are in direct relation to each other! Imagination was saying, "Your ‘I am’ is Me. My ‘I am’ is yours, FOR WE ARE ONE." This is practical beyond all imagination! We are one with the ethereal Imagination in the sense that we are It. This actuality is invisible to us due to our ignorance while in the process of becoming, but we are nevertheless Jethro: His Excellence. Imagination and creation are a single unit. There is no separation or division! This becoming culminates in our conscious awareness of our Godhood, of our being the Imagination. That it is we who are producing Christ, the Manifestation of the Imagination as-It-is in this world.

The question I have right now is by what technique or technology did those who gained this awareness in the Season of Grace do so? Our psyches are contaminated with errors from ignorance which congest our flow in the spirit. It is a bunch of psychological poop we have got to get rid of. Exactly how did they clear their blockages? We have a church based upon the fact that they did. Yo! Abdullah. Where are you, bro?

Stop Misreading the Bible: “God” is Imagination

Inspired by Neville Goddard's lecture, "Seeing Christ Through the Eyes of Paul.”

I have been having a very nice conversation with Imagination, capital 'i'. We call it God. It is not God's imagination; it is Imagination, an ethereal intelligence, and we call it God. We also call it Eil, Elohim, YHWH (Jehovah), the Shaddai, Christ, and Jesus. Lengthen the list as you will. It is a powerful consciousness in Its own right: Imagination.

Moses was expert in the myths and religions of Egypt. "God" was real enough, but what a bunch of mumbo-jumbo the myths present. What was--is--really going on? What is the real excellence of God--Jethro--that is becoming out of all that gobbledygook? Mulling it over in his imagination while meditating (Mt. Horeb: lit. the mind parched), Moses realized (as Imagination answered): “This—imagination—is It! Imagination is me and God, mano y mano. No myth as an intermediary, a shoe to tread on. Imagination is the holy ground that is Jethro I was looking for. Imagination the real nitty-gritty! The very nature of the ethereal Imagination . . . is me."

Ethereal Imagination? As an independent entity? Whoa, Daniel. Where did that come from?

Evolution. Maybe. I don't know (I am always the last to be told). We know scientifically that our bodies, brains, and hearts broadcast electromagnetic forces. We know scientifically that light waves convert to particulate matter upon observation; that quantum particles learn; that the universe is a great electromagnetic field. Is it not a medium of intelligence? If there is an Ineffable Being who is begun manifesting the whole of Itself, wouldn't It necessarily manifest Its own developmental history as part of that? If that Being developed naturally to what It is now through a process over eons of time, wouldn't Its manifestation develop naturally through the same process over eons of time?

The universe and its electromagnetic field have existed at least 13.8 billions of years (the field, like gravity, perhaps much longer). About two-thirds of that time was before the sun was even a twinkle in the sky's eyes. How many trillions of life-forms and civilizations arose, transmitted into, and received from the intelligence of the field? Trillions upon trillions for billions upon billions of years before there was dust on the earth. I am just saying that it makes sense to me that the imagination invested in the ethereal electromagnetic field could be the Intelligent Designer and the force behind Its becoming manifest here.

Be that as it may, Moses realized that his "I am" was Imagination. Imagination informed him that, "I am that 'I am.'" I.e., "You are Me." We are Imagination, Imagination's excellence. At least that is what we are supposed to be. It is coming around slowly. Like Moses, while we may intellectually know this, we have to get the rest of our being up to speed. We have to convince our thoughts and bring our lives into order. It is hard to get out of Egypt.

All the characters in the Book of Genesis are what Moses learned about himself and what people need to do to get their lives in order. Apply it to yourself. It all applies to each of us individually. 'Adam' literally means divine blood. That is what imagination is, for imagination is the power of life. Desire in the imagination brings life to what was imagined--Eve. Life manifests as a physical acquisition (Cain) and as a spiritually transient one (Abel). In the ignorance of the human imagination, we forget the spiritual, and that "dies" to us. This generates misery for us, which impels us to improve our imaginations (the wisdom of Imagination which comes with us).

THAT is where we are going with this. Religious and superstitious imaginings set in Abel's place are weak and sickly substitutes. The qualities and attitudes--the natures--of the antediluvian patriarchs (properly translated as facets of imagination) lead us to the rest of creative imagination. We are following Moses' trail! He went this way, finding that he was the Exalted, Merciful Father--Imagination! Imagination is the Father of many nations. Imagination is the Promise.

Our imaginations, though, start out as deceivers, heel-catchers. We seek light, righteousness (Laban), but find it is all in the development of our imagination (the tribes). Judaism was a religion of Imagination, salvation in Egypt. Unfortunately, it died.

God's salvation--Jesus--is Imagination. Christ is an anointing of Imagination upon ours. Elijah, the power of God, is Imagination. David, the Beloved, is Imagination. Per Alexander, Jesus did NOT say on the cross, "Why have you forsaken me?" He said, "To this I was destined" (stated as "For this you destined me" in his Story of Jesus), or, as I would put it: "This is what I, Imagination, am for." Jesus' disciples were, like the antediluvian patriarchs and Jacob's children, facets of the mind's imagination: Andrew brings people to imagination, Simon listens ready to obey, Judah—hands raised in praise—betrays imagination in that IT WORKS! There is one light in Heaven: Imagination.

Translate the Bible. Fix it. The conversation is about imagination.
