BE you renewed

“to put off your former way of life”… not by rearranging appearances, not on the surface, but by being seemingly void, naked; empty of expectations, hope and belief — but fully alive in the experiencing of what IS.

Our person is put off by that! It is scary, it feels like dying; if we don’t have this unexplainable Faith that “it is His good pleasure to give us the kingdom” and “I am with you always”.
I! I, Awareness — Spirit.

The wicked aspect of us, our forgotten true relationship with God as joint-heirs in Christ, is afraid of the Light, and prefers to hide in the dark.

The ignorant, insecure aspect in us defends and protects itself. Our brain is conditioned to survive as a separate-self in “this world”.

…

Another aspect is that in “this world” we belief that our happiness is circumstantial, whereas happiness is our true nature, as the child of God.

Our suffering is attitudinal, due to not knowing the Truth, not abiding in our true nature.

…not “do” renewed!

“Oh I have to work on myself” is the voice of the wicked in us. “Oh, I just have to wait for the congregation, for God, for Christ, for this world to become a better place…”

I am not using the f-word here to express the futility of our own (involuntary) ignorance. Please give the other cheek and admit that support and companionship are priceless in preparing the ground; but it is you, your Self in the Presence of Love, God who is fulfilling scripture! not another.

Bear the pain of your person, but look deeper, beyond the surface of your own thinking and feeling:

“In quietness and confidence shall be thy [my] strength”.

“Who do you say I am?”

Inquire into your own nature: Who am I? before my eager servant mind tries to sell me reality.

Embrace the Truth that I am not flesh, but Spirit (ever-present, faceless, formless Awareness).

Be, not do!

God?
God blows our minds, in a good way; any explanation of infinite God in a finite brain is an idol.

But God is Love!
Not puppy love, but the unending power and intelligence that creates and maintains universes; that intimate Presence that pumps our hearts and comforts us with tender love, here and now.

Holiness, wholeiness, complete, not missing anything (psychologically), at home, in peace with what IS; abiding — effortlessly — in the depth of your BEing, your true Nature, Light, Lifeforce, Love.

Seeds don’t change!
A potato is not transformed into an apple; a “sinner” is not magically transformed — after enough time has passed — into being a child of God!

Sin is not a big “thing”, it was only our error in the way we look at life; how we believed and felt ourself to be a separate-self, apart from Life/Love/God.

The consequences of “sin” can be disastrous in “this world”, but sin itself is very subtle.

We “just” wake up to our true nature.
We wake up from the dream of “I am a person of flesh and blood” to the most natural recognition “I am the Light, I am one with Life/Love.” Nothing has to change on the outside!

Our body came into “this world” of appearances through the birth from below; with it comes amnesia, the forgetting of our true nature.

Born from above is not a physical event, but it can have physical consequences, increased harmony and well-being.

Life is a gift, be brave, open the gift, explore, enjoy! Don’t be afraid of anything, in Love.

God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’ 29Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.…
Acts 17:28

We live in Awareness, like fish in the water. Fish don’t know the water as apart from themselves.

Without your spiritual discernment all those words here are foolishness to you. With a little openness and bravery you will be one step closer to the greatest discovery in the human kingdom:

Christ in you is the hope of glory.
