Knock, Knock..."Who's Actually There?"

In the experience of separation that we find ourselves, the closest any two people can ever be is during sexual union, particularly during orgasm. For a brief moment (In most cases), the ideas of self dissolve and it is possible to feel a disassociated unity. And, in most cases, our ideas of each other, and the world around us, return rather quickly. It is in the physical that we are separate. It is in the non-physical realm of eternity where we know unity. We are actually closer to our deceased, loved-ones, than we could ever be in the physical world. But for most, it seems as though they are lost, as they do not recognize their own eternal nature and do not endeavor to find that unity in the exploration of their own consciousness. We hope you do.

Even in the physical closeness of intercourse, you are still "separate". And so it is

The Great Gnostic Secret...

At exactly 18:00 minutes, Bill reveals the Great Gnostic Secret. But watch the whole presentation! 

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
