What have you "Learned"?

What is learning? Probably most of us have not even asked that question, or if we have asked it, our
response has been from tradition, which is accumulated knowledge, a knowledge that functions with skill or without skill to earn our daily living. This is what one has been taught, for which all the usual schools, colleges, universities, etc. exist. Knowledge predominates, which is one of our greatest conditionings, and so the brain is never free from the known. It is always adding to what is already known, and so the brain is put into a straitjacket of the known and is never free to discover a way of life that may not be based on the known at all. The known makes for a wide or narrow rut and one remains in that rut thinking there is security in it. That security is destroyed by the very finite known. This has been the way of human life up to now. ...

Knowledge is the past always. Is there a way of acting without the enormous weight of humanity's accumulated knowledge? There is. It is not learning as we have known it; it is pure observation – observation which is not continuous and which then becomes memory, but observation from moment to moment. The observer is the essence of knowledge and one imposes on what one observes that which one has acquired through experience and various forms of sensory reaction. The observer is always manipulating that which it observes, and what it observes is always reduced to knowledge.

So one is always caught in the old tradition of habit-forming. So learning is pure observation – not only of the things outside you but also of that which is happening inwardly; to observe without the observer."

Judas... The Revealer of Christ

 

Good Friday

Neville Goddard

GOOD FRIDAY - EASTER
(Circa 1954 - Edited by Jan McKee)
  


You know the story of Good Friday. A man is in a garden. It's night time. And one called Judas comes in search of him, seemingly to betray him. He comes into the garden, and it's dark, so he asks the simple question, "Where is Jesus?" Then the voice in the dark answered, "I AM HE." We are told in the story they all fell to the ground. When they regained their composure they asked the same question, "Where is Jesus?" Again the voice answered, "I have told you that I AM HE." This time Judas kisses him and the voice said to him, "Now that you have found me, let all else go, but do not let Me go, and what you have to do, do quickly." Then Judas goes out and commits suicide.

Now when you read the story you might think that that drama took place in a garden. No. That drama must TAKE place in the mind of man. For this is all about re-birth. I t takes a man, a normal man, a man of sense, but hidden in that man and bound hand and foot is the second man that rebirth loosens and lifts up, and that second man is God. So the mystery is all self, and he uses the word "mystery" no less than 18 times. He asked those in the Corinthians to esteem him as a steward of mystery. Then he said, "Great is the mystery, God was manifest in the flesh." Then he spoke of the greatest of all mysteries, the one hidden from the foundation of the world, "Christ in you is the hope of glory." Christ IN man. Not Christ in the pages of history, but God IN man must be awakened, and this is the technique by which he is awakened.

Now come closely with me and let me take you into the garden of your own mind. Right now just imagine you are in a sick room of some wonderful hospital, a ward. You see the case history. You heard the verdict of the doctor, and the man, seemingly, is dying. What would save that man from such a verdict? What would save him? A state of health by which he would rise from that bed and become a normal, healthy person in this world; that would save him. Now, look into your mind's eye and define carefully the solution of a particular problem. When you define the solution to the problem, do you know what you are actually seeing? You are seeing Jesus, for Jesus means "to save." So the state that would save that man from what he is, is the state of health. That is his savior.
The story is, "Now that you have found ME, let all else go, but do not let ME go." In other words, let go of everything you have ever believed, but do not let go of this concept -- that the man is well in spite of the evidence of your senses to the contrary. No matter what reason dictates, you hold onto Jesus, Jesus being that the man is healthy. You hold onto it, and you touch it by becoming intensely aware of it; that's the only way to touch a thing.

Let me tell you of something that happened only last Friday. I have a friend in this City

The Desolation of Abomination...

 The epitome of Desolation is at the hand of an Abandoned Imagination and displayed in the hiddious and vulgar expression of the "Left-brained", logical, linear, reasoning mind that can use these faculties to justify all of its Abominations. Intelligence is its tool, and Artificial Intelligence is its dystopian, tyrannical expression of its absolute. AI is the abandonment of the Imagination and the abandonment of your very spirit... the spirit of God. BEWARE the bareness of a busy life. In this video, we heard this phrase, "The Desolation of Abomination", for the first time. It really made us stop in our tracks.


UPDATE:

Here is another great and entertaining presentation by Bill Donahue (Click) on this subject. Now, realize that Abomination is also a symptom of the Desolation of the Imagination... an abandoned and neglected "right-brain", so it is that you can read it either way: "The Desolation of Abomination" or "The Abomination of Desolation". Either way makes a powerful statement. Think about it!

SILENCE...

 So much to say about SILENCE: VARGO says it best. Get some quality SILENCE here:

 

 DISTURBED SILENCE: 



Flowing silence is love
Shared silence is friendship
Silence seen is infinity
Vibrating silence is creation
Expressed silence is beauty
Maintained silence is strength
Allowed silence is rest
Received silence is joy
Perceived silence is knowledge
Silence-alone is being
Silence-alone is being, is being

Are you drowning in the noises
That surround you everyday
Do you struggle to keep things at bay
And at times does it feel like your loosing the way
Are you tempted by the voices
Trying to lead us all astray?
Do not always believe what they say
Come along, peace and quiet are not so far away

[[Chorus:]]
If your mind is out of tune
Feel the silence -
Don't know what to do
Feel the silence -
It is inside of you
Feel the silence -
If you listen you can hear it -
The silence in you

Creation - love - friendship - infinity - beauty - joy - knowledge - strength

Are you looking for a haven
Anywhere that you may roam?
There is shelter an oasis of your own
Come along, you'll find, you're already home

Intelligence?

Does it Exist Anymore?

It is interesting to think about this quote in the context of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE...ie: "fake" intelligence, that is all the rage as of late. People talk like it has the capacity to be some kind of God, and wonder and marvel at the idea of it.

We wonder... how would it handle a simple conundrum like the one listed in this quote? Holding 2 opposing ideas at the same time. Sounds like a Glitch... maybe gears and circuits flying apart?

Thoughtlessness?

Why is one thoughtless?

The thinker thinks his thoughts through habit, through repetition, through copying, which brings ignorance and sorrow. 
Is not habit thoughtlessness?
 Awareness creates order, but it never creates habit. Settled tendencies only bring about thoughtlessness. Why is one thoughtless? 
Because to think is painful, 
it creates disturbances, it brings opposition, it may cause one’s actions to go contrary to the established pattern. To think-feel extensionally, to become choicelessly aware may lead to unknown depths, and 
the mind rebels against the unknown;
 so it moves from the known to the known, from habit to habit, from pattern to pattern. Such a mind never abandons the known to discover the unknown. Realizing the pain of thought, the thinker becomes thoughtless through copying, through habit; being afraid to think, he creates patterns of thoughtlessness. As the thinker is afraid, his actions are born of fear, and then he regards his actions and tries to change them. 
The thinker is afraid of his own creations; but the deed is the doer, 
so the thinker is afraid of himself. 
The thinker is fear itself; the thinker is the cause of ignorance, of sorrow. The thinker may divide himself into many categories of thought, but the thought is still the thinker. The thinker and his efforts to be, to become, are the very cause of conflict and confusion.

Tools to Tithe...

 Again, tithing is a spiritual principle, centered around the idea that in order to access the higher realms of your consciousness, you must tithe (put away) the left-brained, logical, linear, carnal, sense-oriented mind. The following video is a good tool to do just that. InJoy!

Jesus: Physical man or the Ideal MAN?

 


Quote from:

Neville Goddard 03-17-1969



BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS



The Bible is the most practical book in the world. In it we are told that one named Simon carried the cross behind Jesus. The word “Simon” means “to hear with understanding and consent to what is heard.” And Jesus is your own wonderful human imagination. 

The gospel tells what happens in the soul of Jesus. The events recorded there are seen and heard by none save but Him. Through these experiences He gains the certainty that He is not only the Son of God, but also God Himself. But when he tells his story few will accept it, as his experience of scripture differs greatly from its interpretation by the priests and rabbis. Simon, however, understands what he hears and, consenting to it, he carries the cross. 

We are told to “Bear ye one another’s burden and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Now, the law of Christ is described in the Sermon on the Mount. It is a psychological law, as Christ tells you in the 5th chapter of

The History of the Soul of MAN...

A 1959 Lecture by Neville, interpreted by Tim Che for today's reader

Our Discussion today is concerned only with the great secret of life. Here we are convinced that the Supreme Power that created and sustains the universe is Divine Imagining, and it does not differ from human imagination except in degree of intensity of the one who is Imagining. So,  your wonderful Imagination is God, in Man. This is what we are referring to when we say "God".

We tell you that Imagination (God in you) creates Reality, but keep in mind that at this human level on earth, it takes time, persistence and practice. If our Imaginations are awakened and we are aware of it, we must learn how to use it. We use it by creating Images. If we will persist in the image, live in it, sleep in it and breathe in it, it will crystallize into tangible form, it will become real in this world.

Night after night we explore different facets of this truly great secret, the Secret of Imagining. Tonight, we will explore the greatest book about Imagination in the world, The Bible, and we will look at it from the perspective of the mystic. So, as we turn to it, keep in mind that the Bible is addressed to the Imagination in you and not to the man of who relies on the 5 senses or the man of logic & reason who is lost in the "flood" of "facts" and cannot understand the Imagination that preceded ALL facts.  They are the ones that are referred to in the Bible as "lost" or "dead" or "sound asleep."

Interestingly, it says in the Old Testament that "Adam" fell into a profound sleep. And nowhere in the

The Coin of Heaven...

There are 2 aspects of the conscious mind.
  • The part that is thinking, sensing, and interpreting which is dependent on a state of consciousness. 
  • And the Imagination which is has the power to change the state of consciousness. 
When thinking is engaged, the Imagination is idle. You are free to choose what aspect of the mind you engage, but only if you are aware of the difference. You can Invest your mind on lovely things, or spend your thought unwisely on negative things. 

Self-talk is self prophecy 

because the mind, through the Imagination, is a creative device that is always ON

The following transcribed lecture from 1953, we have edited for a more contemporary translation. Neville makes this VERY clear and uses the example of a black man in the '50s who overcame the self-imposed limitation of his race, with astonishing results!


SOUND INVESTMENTS
Neville Goddard 1953

I want to share with you today what I consider one of the truly great revelations of all time.

On Sunday morning, April 12th, my wife woke from what was really a deep, profound sleep and as she was waking a voice distinctly spoke to her and speaking with great authority it said to her:

"You must stop spending your thoughts, your time and your money; everything in life must be an investment." 

So she quickly wrote it down and went straight to the dictionary to look up the two important words in the sentence, 'spending' and 'investing'. The dictionary defines 'spending' as "to waste, to squander, to layout without return." To 'invest' is to "layout for a purpose, for which a profit is expected" .

Then I began to analyze the sentence - "You must stop spending your thoughts, your time and your money, for everything in life must be an investment". As I dwelt upon it, I saw where everything is NOW;

That through the portals of the present all time must pass, 

and this psychological NOW, the state of mind in which I find myself now, does not recede into the past. It advances into my future.

So, what I do NOW is the all important thing

and thought is the coin of heaven;

 it is the money of heaven. And so the thought I entertain now, the thought to which I give my consent to, is either my investment, or

Tis the Season!

 CHRISTMAS - MAN'S BIRTH AS GOD

Neville, 1968


"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word became

flesh and dwells in us." (John 1) Our physical birth is God's incarnation, for incarnation signifies the
assumption by a divine being of human or animal form. When you were born your little human form was assumed by God. Christmas marks the departure from God's incarnation and your birth as God. 

There are two births: one when God assumes your human form and the other when you assume the divine form as God! The first birth is from below, while the second birth - called Christmas - is from above. Every child born of woman is God incarnate, or the child could not be aware that he is. His consciousness is God's incarnation. The world, not knowing this, celebrates the wrong event; for Christmas is when man becomes conscious of being God. 

Here are a few paradoxes which disturb many people. All of these are actual quotes or interpretations of a quote:

"I shall no longer speak to you in figures, but tell you plainly of the Father."

"I came out from the Father and came into the world. Again I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

"I and my Father are one."

"I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I."

"When you see me, you have seen the Father."

"He who you call God, he is my Father, but I know my Father and you know not your God."

"Show us the Father. If you knew me you would not ask, for no one can know me in the true sense and not know God, for He and I are inseparable." 

Who is the father who is one with his son, yet greater than he? Can he be the son of God, yet God the Father? And how can I ever know that I and my Father are one? Let us try to solve these strange contradictions.

The Mind and Motion Universe

Probably the greatest mind of the 20th century, Walter Russell is one of those rare individuals who mastered all the arts; music, painting, sculpture, architecture, swimming, horsmanship and finally... what we call "science" and he refers to his 'cosmogony of the universe'.
All of this without any formal education!

A book called, "The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe" gives a condensed account of his life and is worthy of your attention.

I was recently toying with the idea of getting Water Russell's book, The Secret of Light, and thought I would ask for it for Christmas. Well, I never got around to asking any "People" for it, but the Universe heard me! As I stumbled upon the book, now in the public domain, and downloaded it from the online library https://archive.org/details/WalterRussellTheSecretOfLight

The following is an excerpt from Walter Russell's book, Atomic Suicide which we have just recently dug into. The beginning of the book is fantastic and then he gets into lots of evidence details about why nuclear energy will end humankind, possibly forever... but you can skip ahead to chapter 4. Here in chapter 4, he gets into some juicy explanations of The Zero Universe of Cause, which is stillness... and the Universe of Effect, which is motion. You can download the book here http://abundanthope.net/artman2/uploads/1/Atomic_Suicide.pdf  This is some of the most important understandings of the nature of everything that we have come across. You can also support his work by purchasing the books from the foundation charged with keeping the Russell's work alive,  www.philosophy.org or making a donation

InJoy!

CHAPTER IV
The True Nature of This Mind and Motion Universe


In the heart of every man is the desire for love--for happiness, peace and prosperity. In the hearts of nations of men is the One-World desire for international unity. Universal Brotherhood is the ultimate world-goal. How far are we from that goal? The distance is far ahead for the human race. Its distance is

Finally... The Earth is Neither Spherical nor Flat

by Tim Che

...and yet it is both Spherical AND Flat. For you see...

Consciousness is rising.

As you rise with it, the world reflects the change.

At one level of consciousness, the world is FLAT.

At another level of consciousness, the world is a SPHERE spinning through the vacuum of empty space.

At the next level of consciousness, the world is ????????? 

If I knew the answer to this and told you, it would have very little meaning and you would not be able
to understand it if you were not in the consciousness of the answer. If you were in the consciousness of the answer, it would be obvious what the world is and you would not have the question in the first place.

The current state of consciousness that modern man finds himself in, sees the world as external to, and separate from, himself. It sees the world and everything in it as having existence on its own, independent of Man. Such a consciousness observes the world with a logical, rational mind... "I'll believe it when I see it", and sees only what appears to be causes external to himself. In other words, I see the world outside from the viewpoint of what I define as "myself", and conclude that something outside of that same self "caused" it to exist. Such a state of consciousness would develop its reasoning capacities and see ever-increasing complexity in its ideas and concepts about the world. Mathematics and physics has pushed its ideas to the limits, yet still cannot answer the simple question of "First Cause" "read: DNA, A Reflection of Human Concsiousness)

The current rise of the FLAT EARTH phenomena is a response from the control systems of authority to the awakening and rising of  consciousness. Which begins to realize that  "All is not as we have been taught".  Consciousness is rising and people are questioning these foundational ideas of reality, religion, science and human nature.

Causing a Disturbance in THE FORCE

The problem is that as you rise in consciousness, you may realize that the "spinning ball" model of Earth has a lot of fundamental flaws... and instead of looking deeper into the question of our reality, you are led to an alternative idea of lower consciousness... that the Earth is FLAT. Any amount of time spent on that idea reveals even more flaws. The questioner is left to his/her own devices.

You must find out for yourself. No one else can do it for you.

We have had a lot of people tell us that it is not important what shape the Earth is and that such inquiry does not affect their lives. Quite the opposite is true. The Earth and YOU are ONE.

What the Earth is YOU are. 
What YOU are, the Earth IS.

Nothing could be more important. The debate between FLAT or SPHERE is centered around what the Earth is NOT. The Mental attention and Inquiry must be directed to what the earth actually IS. It is not a concept. It is not an Illusion.

It is a popular notion that reality is just an illusion and that nothing is real. We have heard many people

What Is-Real?...

by Tim Che'

Another take on the theme, "The Maker Being Lost in the Made"

The focus of this post is the quote in the accompanying picture. To be lost in the "Made" is to be lost in what Is-Real, or IsRael. It is an unconscious form of narcissism and a very difficult trap to get out of.

For you see, we have, over time, created the ultimate gate-keeper of the trap... the intellectual faculties of the mind. Which regards truth only in terms of what appears to be real. Not realizing that what it sees in the external world is a result of a cause.

And that cause is the Imagination.

Which created something out of nothing. Something the science-priests of the world have yet to do and they will be unlikely to discover it using the external eyes of logic and reasoning.

The crisis in today's world is a Spiritual one, not a religious one. The battle is raging in you, and is being externalized in the "real" world. (read, The Battle of Armageddon")

So, to see this world as REAL, is to be trapped forever in it with no way out. But what created the world as it is, can create it as you would like it to be. It is the only creative power in the universe and it is the power that sustains it... The Imagination.

So, to see things as "Real" is to deny that all things are possible to God, and God is your Imagination.
And god and you are ONE.

The Evolution of YOU...

 At time 26:30, Bill outlines the evolution of you;

  1. Starting with the Adam (atom)
  2. Then the removal of the rib (the splitting of the atom)
  3. Then Eve is introduced (the introduction of thought)
  4. Then came the Serpent (the introduction of contradictory thought)
  5. Conflict is then developed through Cain and Able
  6. We left the Garden of Eden  moving into the Left-brain/ego/intellect
  7. Then we activate Abram, the power with us to overcome the left
  8. We have to get rid of Lot, the part of us that wants to live in Sodom
  9. We overcome Lot, but the Ego makes a last ditch effort to make a deal; Offers you all the riches of Sodom to give yourself over to it.
  10. You reject the offer and are filled with Spirit and are know as AbraHAm.
  11. You are now seated at the right hand of God (right side of the brain) where Melchizadeck appears to bring the bread and wine (spiritual truth and understanding)
 Tithing is how you do this. Tithing is "Putting away the 10%". The 10% is the left-brain. Meditation is the invitation to this Tithing.
