Honey to my Soul.

Jamie Karris

What is Honey to my Soul?

Honey to my Soul Is the essence of You, The Divine. Honey to my Soul Are You that abides in this heart of mine. Honey to my Soul Are the words of love and instruction that You share. Honey to my Soul Are Your touches internal that are beyond compare. Honey to my Soul Is Your sweet presence that You so richly give. Honey to my Soul Is breath and life and light and the reason why I live.

Whispers from The Divine

My personal reflections received through Prayers and Meditation.

Awaken my Heart

n the Alls Kingdom, there is Divine Science. Not to be understood by the intellect but by Spirit given revelation which is Father/Mother Gods good pleasure to give us.

To be led by the Holy Spirit is to flow into unity, connection and enlightenment.
It is an illusion to believe that we of our own effort have to earn Gods favor and love. The only thing required is to believe that God is and that by the Godheads grace we receive all of The Absolutes Good. To believe or act other wise is to live in the realm of cause and effect action and reaction. Do not be fooled. To believe in faith does not leave one in dark passivity where dark actions abide. To believe truly, is to be lifted up in the higher realms of Love, Peace and the Righteousness of the Godhead. I will cry out to God most high, who accomplishes, performs, who fulfills the Godheads purpose for me. (Ps.57) Be humble before the Godhead and yet be great in the Godhead. I pray daily for the Godheads heavenly protection and safety here on earth. Not because I see the worst in other people but because I understand that others dont see the Divine in themselves and act in opposite ways than love.

The order is not, I pray and God will move. The order is God wills, so I pray. I pray for the manifestation of the revealed will of God. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in the Heavenly realms. Knowing the written scriptures is not enough. We must be in a believing position and posture that hears the voice of God directly. We should never be satisfied with an un-manifested promise from God. Gods promises are given for us to experience not just for mental exercise. What is my highest aspiration, my goal in my walk upon the red road? To know The Absolute, to truly know and experience Christ within the hope of glory. To abide in The All and with all. Everything else will follow. If by chance we are beguiled and step out of the limitless power and goodness of Gods grace, mercy is there to keep us. If for some reason we start off this God-given Life in grace and then turn to try and receive Gods blessings by our actions, Love is there to protect us. Remember, grace is free it cannot be earned. No matter how important people think you are as they respond to the God-Life that is flowing through you remember that your purpose is to help them focus on The Absolute The I Am and the Christ within, not you. Sons and daughters of God in the process of overcoming must not get high minded against their brothers and sisters who are still struggling in coming into the knowledge of our oneness with The All. Remember, you were once in the same position. By

the mercies and grace of the Godhead, you were brought out. Pray for the same grace to manifest in others. In the Kingdom of God, Christ Kingdom, the law and the Prophets have disappeared (Mark 9:2-8). Meditate and let the Holy Spirit reveal this meaning and this truth. But remember that true God liberty does not bring forth dark or lower level behaviors. Quietness seems to be essential to many spiritual operations. Be still and know that I Am God. What is it that can bind all of humanity together instead of tragedy? What in the positive can we reach for? Father/Mother God please show us and if no one else is looking then please show me. Father/Mother God, I thank-you for your power to stick to the task you have assigned to me. Let nothing distract me from your chosen course for me. I gladly travel that path. Do not even let good things or ideas that are not in line with what you have revealed for my life distract me. This world system brings many things that could be done and many needs that need to be addressed. But I only want to do what you want me to do always remembering to love as I journey. I have you yet my heart longs for you every moment of my life. My life, an honor, I pray to your name your being is my being. Thank-you for revealing yourself in me you are my life. The I AM, make your everlasting, eternal love penetrate my spirit, my mind, my body. Register it, making it more real to me than breathing.

Do you want to move up higher in the things of God? Then apply yourself to asking, seeking, and knocking. Formulas, rituals, steps will not do it. The promise is already given, Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened The Godhead is faithful to fulfill the promise. We do not truly get to know ourselves in the promise land but in the wilderness. For most, the wilderness is the place of our goof-ups, where our shortcomings and weaknesses are revealed. Here we shed that which hinders our rising. The wilderness can be dark and scary but it is filled with the presence and unconditional love of The Godhead. The key to self-mastery surrender to the Holy Spirit. That power that is within that is greater than any humans will power. To think truly is not an intellectual exercise it is a spiritual exercise. To think truly is not to figure out it is to reach out to or within, to tap into the wisdom that is. To think truly is to allow wisdom to manifest and reveal itself. Religious dogma only gives a very small pinpoint of the overall plan of the Godhead. Blessed are those who heed the upward call to be able to see the bigger picture and the grace not to be afraid of what they see. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done Let us stop saying these words by rote truly believe them, embrace them and believe for the power of the Godhead to make it so. To believe and experience the Impossible, I must let go of the illusion of control.

In the battle against the forces of darkness and negativity, I have already lost if I just pit my ability and wit up against the enemy. I must be infused with the powers of Heaven. If not, I am going to the battlefield as if I were naked. (An aside being naked and stripped of your own strength is great that is the goal but only if you have been truly empowered by the Holy Spirit). Spirit principles of Gods Kingdom must be experienced. Personal knowledge only comes through experience not with having a head full of facts. In this life wisdom shows us that we will not always have the answers yet we strive to know why anyway usually leaving us empty, angry and afraid. On the other hand, if we would get to know the Grace-giver and the kingdom within, then we would know without having to know why. We begin to understand without having to understand why. We will only see light when darkness appears to be all around. Well have peace in the shadow of turmoil. Then by Grace experience the Good ready to share this light and good with others who are dismayed. Finally understanding that this light this good is a touch a kiss from the Godhead and that it was there all along. Live from Gods revelation. God speaks the end from the beginning. If God has revealed your purpose it is a sure reality. True faith intends for the revelation to be so. There is a difference between praying and prayer. Praying is speaking out loud a bunch of words. Prayer is connection with the Absolute. Father/Mother God. Knowing our oneness and being still in that truth. It is prayer that is needed.

10

Since The Absolute has been gracious to reveal unmerited grace to you just receive it. Do not analyze or try to reason. Dont ask if you are worthy. You are not of yourself. Just receive it this gift of The Absolute our Father/Mother God. It changes you from the inside out destroying darkness in you and making you a channel of light in the world to be a blessing to all who are touched by and receive its rays of love. We must believe and allow The Absolute to fuse the power of Heaven with the works of our hands. There are no rules or cookie cutter standards involved with our spiritual development. My training will not necessarily be like your training. Sometimes there will be similar experiences. Let us not make a doctrine out of our experiences. The forces of darkness, the enemy or even our own insecurities do not want us to know who we truly are as Gods children. Truly knowing who you are as Gods child makes you stronger and more effective in bringing forth light. Unconditional love does not mean that you have to become a doormat or that you just have to do what others say. Holy Spirit, help me to resolutely set (Sterizo- 4741Greek) To set fast, stablish, resolute, a fixed purpose to the task you have set before me. I turn by your grace neither to the right nor to the left. Thank-you for empowering and enabling me to trust you completely so that I may do your will. Father/Mother God, it isnt words that I am looking for to express I am looking for The Word (Your Plan) to manifest.

11

Regarding the spiritual nature of humankind, some will scoff at what behaviors will have to be released or delivered from in order to truly operate at a high spiritual level. Spiritual truth is not always written down it is mainly given by revelation from the Godhead. Regardless of the grumbles share as much truth as you can. The dawn is breaking To rise up in spiritual knowledge and understanding. The dawn recognition of light and truth of the I Am That I Am. Prayer is not and should not always be an activity of asking God for something. Prayer should be a silent knowing that God is. Prayer is a meditation on Gods attributes and Goodness. Prayer needs to be a silence where the Creator can speak into your heart giving you Divine direction revealing to you the Oneness of our spirit with Gods Spirit. Prayer should be as the student listening to the valued teacher, the child listening to the comforting words of the parent, the lover listening to the music from the heart of the beloved, the creature listening to the heartbeat of the Creator. Prayer is two good friends communicating and one, recognizing which is the greater silences him/herself to hear that which is spoken by the other. Father/Mother God has appointed me to my work. I have been commissioned. There must be a true unwavering inner commitment to the task, not mere, external superficial obedience. This work that I have been assigned is all that I do. It is to have my total focus. I thank-you Father/Mother God that you have instilled a love and a passion for the work a burning desire in me. This work or nothing else. I do not have to be afraid that I will not know how to accomplish the task that the Father/Mother God has given me. The Godhead will be with me that I may be successful. Through
12

me, the Godhead will give: Discretion Sekel - (7922-Hebrew) Intelligence, success, happiness, knowledge, understanding, prudence, insight, good sense, wisdom, policy and skillfulness in all the work that I do. I just need to trust and believe. The resources of the higher planes or the Heaven Kingdom are already ours. This I know Heavenly Father/Mother but sometimes it seems that I cant find the right stargate number. Help me to dial the right number (this is metaphorical of course) so that the resources can be made manifest on this physical plane. Christ has rent the veil there is no more division between the Heavenly and the earthly. Ask and it shall be given. Thought can be our hands, feet, arms and legs. But remember that The I AM is greater than all thought. Thought or power of thought should never become your God. Thought is only a tool to do the will of Father/Mother God. To serve Father/Mother God with a willingly heart and mind implies more that just saying yes to the Godheads will. A person can agree to do something for someone and even perform the task but at the same time wish or hoped that they could be doing something else. The Hebrew word for willing is the word Chaphets-(2655-Hebrew). It denotes not just the doing of something but to actually take pleasure in, delighting in the activity. To be pleased to do, to have an affection for to choose to do out of love and desire to choose over any other option. To feel a strong positive attraction for. When it comes to obeying the Divine guidance in your life, do you willingly Chaphets to do it or do you do it out of fear? The Kingdom belongs to those who have a Chaphets heart and mind for the Godhead. Earth plane operations conducted for spiritual purposes still need physical, natural resources.

13

What is the root cause of the sufferings of humankind, ignorance. Ignorance of the truth and purposes of the Divine Godhead. Ignorance to the truth of our divinity of our being, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Another version states, My people are being destroyed because they dont know me. This knowledge is an intimate knowledge that leads to an experience of God. The experience the goodness that is God. Not goodness received because of following rules in fear but because of the oneness with the source of life and good. Of myself, I am not, but because of that which is within me, I AM. With I AM, I have all power, all wisdom and all love. Because of I AM, all is well with me. When we allow our baser lower level nature or physical drives and instincts to control us, we do damage to our spirits and souls. We never will rise to the noble beings that we were created to be. Allowing yourself to be less than you were meant to be is the greatest tragedy of all. Who and what we are is found within ourselves. It is not found in the false external symbols being projected by this world system. Find out who and what you truly are and begin to live. Living this true life is beautiful. I really cannot give steps for spiritual growth. Truly, the only thing that I can give, by the power of the Holy Spirit, is a stir. A stirring up of the belief that spiritual growth and the manifesting of your magnificent spirit is possible. The Plan of the Godhead as revealed in the scriptures is not problematic its the twisting and mans shortsighted perspective that is the problem. In most cases, a persons

14

perspective has been molded and shaped by another persons thoughts and motives, which are not always pure. In order to truly help another grow spiritually, I cannot put expectations on their rate or speed of growth. How fast one rises as a spiritual son or daughter of the Godhead is not within my power. The hope and joy that I have is knowing that the Godhead is faithful. And if those who work and study with me are sincere in their desire, spiritual growth will take place. That is all I need to know. By the grace of Father/Mother God, faith is my visualization. By faith I know if I ask for protection, I am protected. By faith if I ask for knowledge or wisdom or insight I will receive it. I need not see in my mind first, I just know. I understand that this faith is a gift from the Godhead and I am grateful and thankful. (This is not to speak against others who have the gift to visualize.) The mysteries of the invisible world are revealed to those who understand that the intellect of man can only know in part. Seekers of Truth and those who desire to share what they have learned always run into the brick wall of the status quo and may become subjects of inquisitions and a burning at the stake. That is why you must operate in the wisdom of God as you strive to spread Truth. Listen to the psalmist as they express the hardships of being oppressed by the darkness: I am restless in my complaint and I am surly distracted because of the voice of the enemy, because of the pressure of the wicked, for they bring trouble upon me(Ps.55:2-3) There are forces, doubts, people, dark entities who try to work against us. The pressure is real. All designed to
15

pull us down to keep us form achieving Gods best for us. But listen to what else the Psalmist has to say, As for me, I shall call upon God and the Lord will save me. (Ps.55:16) Have trust and faith in your mind and heart. For if it is true for one it can be true for all. One more thing, do not wait until trouble comes before you call out to God. This kind of trust and faith only comes with relationship that has experienced the faithfulness of God. Humankind need to rise above just living as a human but must begin living as a human BEING. The former is to live by the lower basic nature and the latter is to live by the Spirit of the Absolute. Outside events and circumstances cannot change a persons heart at the core. True change only happens within. External events may cause one to go within, to contact the Spirit of The Absolute. But history shows that no matter how tragic an event maybe, after a few weeks of humans showing their true humanity, we return to the same old patterns of indulgence, selfishness, greed and separation. My desire is not to have a relationship that is based on common instinctual physical gratification but one based on the true Inner Spirit Being. Humankind should first learn to conquer the inner lesser self and grow in spiritual maturity before we try to conquer the universe. However, the child within constantly fights this growth to humankinds peril. I have come to notice that those who have contributed spiritual and revolutionary changes to the world at large have always been prevented by one circumstance or another from going about it, like the rest of mainstream society. It seems that
16

the Godhead puts these individuals in isolation keeping them from the prevailing and popular voices. This isolation allows the message from the Godhead to get through. Determinism, Newtons world and the state of Flux the Quantum world, cannot exist at the same time according to the definitions of the scientist and their world but they operate in perfect harmony in The Absolutes world. We can only live from the truth that we know. Knowing is not determined by the data or facts held in your intellect but by what you have experienced. Continue to seek more and more truth but seek experience as well. How can one be grave when the joy of life resides within? True, there is sadness and darkness in the world system but we, the bears of Light, should be a reflector of that Light and joy. Laughter always will produce light. Not laughter of silliness but true smiles of gladness of being joined with The Absolute. I am learning that it is right, perfectly right, to reach for the highest in spiritual pursuits. It is the desire of Father/Mother God for us to live by the highest of spiritual principles. These are principles of Being that bring power and light not just rules of the dead letter. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done. I do not have to be boxed in by beliefs of others. It is a fact that most of us live by the lower level laws of existence. Some have learned that there is a way of living that is above the constraints of these laws. This way brings light and beauty to this planet. It is amazing how much resistance to the highest expression of our being rears its head. But this resistance must not be a deterrent. Trust, believe and have faith in the power

17

of deliverance. The Godheads power is there to enable us to rise. We must not be afraid to let the Absolute empower us. A true son or daughter of the Godhead does not exult themselves in their freedom. Freedom is not rubbed in the face of others but is used to help free others. That help may be met with resistance. Just remember that everyone is allowed to be where they are on their journey. Love and do not expect anything but the faithfulness of our Divine Father/Mother God. I have been given the joy of not being boxed in. Let me always allow others the same joy. Remember, true freedom brings only love and light. If your freedom brings harm to another then it is not true freedom. Do not confuse not pleasing someone or going against their wishes as harming them. To follow the Godhead, we may have to go against anothers plans. In this case they have caused the pain themselves by trying to put restraints on your freedom. Holy Spirit, empower me to live my faith. Enable me to live it despite the limitations that others or even myself try to put on me. In a truth, I know that there are no limitations. All things are possible. Manifest these possibilities through me for the glory of The Absolute and the well being of humankind. A true teachers hope is not that their students will hear their words. The hope is that the teacher is surrendered and submitted to The Divine in such a way that the words spoken and the words heard are those of The Divine. Knowledge without inner-transformation can lead to destruction or worse apathy.
18

Change within is never easy if it is true change. Many have stated many different ways, You can not fix a problem from the same level that created it. The same is true with spiritual growth. You can not mature spiritually if you continue to live off of the spiritual milk and continue to hang around people who are content with the lower nature of our being. If you are not willing to let go of the lower self the higher self will not and cannot come forth. In order to get to the next level, I must leave the common behind. Not that the common is bad but at present operates at a lower vibration level. One day, the common will rise but by the Grace of The Absolute, one can rise now into the higher levels. But the choice to leave the common behind must be made. There is a cancerous oppression that brings fear and hesitation of one fully surrendering to the total control of The Godhead and the manifesting of the Godheads presence. This fear does not come from The I AM but from the ego-self that still wants to be in control. It comes from the dark forces that do not want the power of Light to flow freely on this planet. If you have a fear that this surrender and obedience will bring you shame, harm or suffering these fears do not come from the Godhead. These are an illusion, a wile from the enemy. Pray for deliverance from the strangle hold of this fear. Never be afraid of your loving Father/Mother God. The Absolutes thoughts toward us are of good and not evil. Trying to rise higher in spiritual power and growth but still at the same time abide in the lower level vibration is like trying to stay dry while you are in a pool of water.

19

Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He will do it. Ps.37:5. Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established. My child, always commit your cause to me. I will dispose of it rightly in good time. Await my ordering of it and it will be to your advantage. (The imitation of Christ book 39) Do you trust the Godhead enough to even surrender your very call to The Absolutes charge? Sometimes when I am in that quiet, secret, hidden place of love in the Godhead where there is only peace and tranquility to see the darkness that others experience hurts my heart. To be able to share that peace that passes understanding. To be a flicker of light that helps to dispel their darkness. That place of peace is for everyone. Abiding in peace The Godheads peace can work through willing vessels to touch those who are suffering. As Saint Francis prayed May I be an instrument of thy peace May it be so always. I thank-you Father/Mother God for the grace to know and live in your peace. People confuse natural maturity and spiritual maturity. They are not the same. Natural maturity is when a man or woman becomes independent but spiritual maturity is when we become totally conscious of the need of total dependence on God and surrender in all of our actions to that fact. The truly spiritually mature are babes in spirit and are not ashamed. The spiritually mature trust God as a little child. As Smith Wigglesworth said, To trust unquestioningly, unthinkingly. I do not seek and study to discover if but to learn and know about that which Is.

20

If a person accomplish more with the power of the mind than one who is supposed to be filled with the Spirit then the one filled with the Spirit needs to check his/her surrender to the Spirit. Is not the essence of all learning and seeking discovering? Freedom of the human spirit needs to be grounded in discipline. A soul not disciplined quickly falls to the temptations that lead away from union with the Godhead. All things are permissible but as Paul said, all things are not helpful. Remember, the goal of the process is to become a living manifestation of the Most High. My goodness! Spiritual evolution is revealed as a natural course for humankind. (2 Corinthians 3:18). Because this is the level where we live. We abide in a realm where it is hard for the majority to see the Spirit directly so they see indirectly through our good works. Any positive thing that I do motivated by love and for the glory of the Godhead serves to raise the vibration level of this realm. Our actions penetrate the veil and opens up a vortex for others. Think pure thoughts. Give a smile instead of a frown. Pick some trash up off of the ground. All of these things serve to help the world to open up to the true Spirit within. Joy, love and gratitude that come from knowing the Truth spreads the light. To learn and do the will of Father/Mother God, even knowing that the results will bring you benefit is not selfishness if your motivation is love. As a matter of fact, your cooperation is exactly what Father/Mother God desires.

21

In a truth, the higher one rises spiritually the harder getting alone may appear to be. But by grace, stay the course. Hardness is thrust upon you by the forces of darkness to turn you back to try to prevent you from becoming the pure being of Gods glory. Trust and depend on the Absolute and that hardness will be turned into a benefit for you. As you rise higher, the hardness becomes transformed and you find yourself abiding in peace. Total experience with The Absolute, the I AM. There is nothing else. It is amazing that people put more value in the things humans make instead of the human being. Just as it is amazing that people also put more value in the things that The Absolute has made instead of the Absolute. On this spiritual journey on this spiritual path as we rise higher, there will be times when certain relationships will have to be cut off. This is not a judgment against those people or activities but as you rise into new heights, your vibration level changes and so do your thoughts, actions and focus. You will learn that others will not be concerned about the same things. That is ok. But if you do not in love disengage, you will find yourself in an unnecessary struggle. Do not be afraid to follow that inner leading. Love will take care of all situations. To grow, most times, means to go. In the awareness of the macrocosm, the microcosm has disappeared and has been replaced with the Oneness of all. No more just thinking about The Absolute. No more just reading about The Absolute. It is time to enter into the experience of The Absolute.
22

Jamie, when you truly let go, the next step in your spiritual evolution is waiting for you. From the physics of Miracles Not doing to try to understand is a matter of doing. When you try to figure out all you are really doing is trying to make it familiar. When you enter into a state of doing something, you are working off of your previous assumptions about how the world works and how things are. When you suspend these judgments and merely perceive an act in the moment, you are entering into the realm of grace. (I say that perceiving an act in the moment is to Be still and know that I AM God to be aware of the very presence and the action of the Godhead.) Trust Father/Mother God and get out of the way. Give up in order to succeed I am not the doer The I AM, my Father/Mother God within me is the doer. To lift the passions of the red road, submitting them to the higher vibration, committing them to the perfect will of the Godhead, desiring and intending to do so is the beginning of fusing the red road with the blue road of spirit. I now see the path that Father/Mother God has cleared out before me is simple. The Absolute has done it. Now, be strong Chazaq (2388-Hebrew) To bound fast, to be attached, to make firm, to support, preserve, strong, courageous, in my call. The Godhead will do Asah- (6231-Hebrew) to work, to construct, to build, to accomplish. Asah describes The Absolutes creative activity.

23

I sit upon the shores of the Spirit and I paint the vision of The Absolute. (Jamie Karris) Father/Mother God, I choose a life of simplicity but let it not have the appearance of or let it be subsidized by the need of charity and the labors of others. Bless the works of my hands that you have given me to do. Technology is not the problem with the world. It is the spiritual immaturity of humankind that uses technology for destructive purposes or which work against the environment. Lovers of Light, do you want to keep your sanity? Then know that you can only be the light but you cannot change another into the light. Others have to make that decision and allow the transformation for themselves. The highest aspiration of a child of God should be to live and display the Divine Nature of the Godhead. One should not become consumed with or have puerile concerns about powers, gifts or talents that may develop. The realness of our being is The Absolute in us, Christ Consciousness in us - that Divine spark, the very presence of The I AM. Understanding and being aware of this is totally necessary in order to function on this plane of existence. To truly be selfconfident is not to be understood as trusting in the ego your little self but to know and trust the Godhead that lives within our very spirit, soul, mind and body. A mystic seeks more than just an intellectual knowledge of the Godhead but total experience a tangible experience. In this communion, nothing else comes first. The seeker will be led
24

on a spiritual journey that seems to include stages of renunciation, contemplation and then a stage where one is aware of the union with that which has been sought. The beauty is that one will see that they have always been united. Even when one is in ignorance, if they possess a pure heart for union with the Godhead, Father/Mother God will lead them along a lighted path to that union and the illumination will eventually enlightened the mind. Having information or facts does not make one wise. When you have been graced with the ability to use that information to better the lives of others and to help in the advancement of their spiritual growth, can you be said to be operating in wisdom. I surrender to the flow and the power of The Absolute. Not to be seen as special but for the valor of necessary achievement and understanding that service to humankind and the planet is most needed now at this very hour. The power and love of The Godhead needs to be demonstrated not just talked about. It is not my place to question why the Godhead chooses to manifest through creation and us - love, power, supply, health, and all attributes of the Kingdom. By the grace of The Absolute, I have learned this to be so. My job is to let God flow, not wonder why is it this way. In the end, soul-contact (Christ Consciousness) is much more than theory; it is the end of theory and the beginning of real usefulness on this planet. (J.J. Dewey) This is why I can never be satisfied with just knowing. I want to be able to say as Jesus,

25

If you dont believe me for my words, then believe me for my works. I am learning that living and operating in the Kingdom of God requires faith, sincerity and intention. Faith believing that the Kingdom is here, real and accessible sincerity in the love and the desire for its blessedness to be made manifest not only for myself but for all and then have total focused intention that it will be so manifest. The law of the law of vibration that communicates to us, if we are willing to hear it, a certain sternness that says, You cannot any longer indulge this specific vibration and fulfill your calling or win your victory. There are things that we have to cut off in order to arrive at our higher calling. What is most import for our lives? That the will of the Godhead be made totally manifested in and through us - that the noble divine nature comes shining through - that the powers of the Kingdom flow through us for the benefit of humankind. Humankind being fruitful and multiplying must be seen to mean more than just continuing to produce other human beings. But through the Presence of The I AM, to produce and bring forth wonderful creations that add to the fulfillment of life. Not in aversion with harmony with the planet and each other but together as one. It is the quality of a developed inner spirit that is most important. Large numbers of half-committed, half-disciplined followers of Christ - Consciousness will only lead to more problems not to true light. Never water down the requirements of what it really means to be a disciple of Christ. Less is truly more if the less are truly sincere.
26

The higher the fewer Selah. Even when humankind finds wholeness physically, mentally and financially, if their heart and peace are not found in The Absolute, in the Godhead, humankind will still not be in peace. The true healing of the world Humankinds conscious recognition of oneness with The Absolute. Not just recognition but love and love for all. If you are engaged in spiritual pursuits only in an effect to rid yourself of problems, you will find them still entrenched in your life. Spiritual pursuits should have one motivation only, union with The Absolute. With that union your problems will dissolve in the light of love. I have learned that to believe in myself is not to believe in my ego or personality but to believe that the I AM, The Absolute is my true self. Gods nature, Gods mind is the true Self. To believe in the True self the God self that is within me will produce marvelous results. To do anything from the heart is to produce from the Spirit of God. My true heart is the Spirit of The Absolute. When I let go and let my true self, my true heart flow It is truly God working and producing. I of myself have no power. I am naked and not ashamed. I must always follow the leading of my heart when it comes to casting for the leading of my heart is from The Absolute. The projects are for whom The Absolute desires. They will succeed. Man does not think like The Absolute so I line my mind up with the Creator of all by the power of the Holy Spirit.

27

Hope springs eternal People say and use this quote as if it were a positive thing. But lets look at the whole quote, Hope springs eternal in the heart of the human brest because man is NEVER but always TO be blest. This is a quote of a person who has no hope. His thought is hope never receives. In ignorance we repeat it. But for one who has been blessed and graced to come and know the Truth, Hope held in the heart of faith springs forth into physical manifestation, to be seen, touched, felt, experienced Animating the Godheads power in all creation. (Jamie Karris) There is a difference between passivity versus resting in the knowledge of The Absolute in our approach to life. In passivity, one goes through life just letting what ever happen. This persons attitude is whatever will be will be. One who is resting in God, The Absolute, believes in the good knows the good comes from The Absolute. This good is not random as it is in the duality. Life is not a haphazard flow to the one who is resting in God. Life, true life, not as the world system gives but the life that comes from the Good, is peace, fulfillment and joy. Rest expects the Good passivity floats along being tossed to and fro a victim of circumstance. Father/Mother God, I choose to rest in your love knowing it will take me to my proper destination, in protection, security and completeness. I might be repeating myself: We must see ourselves and be as nothing in own eyes but know that we are everything in the eyes of the Godhead. The Absolute is intangible beyond location and definition but in the land of form we experience The Absolute in symbols sometimes in rituals in most religions. This is for our benefit but we must grow pass the forms. Those who worship the Father must worship him in Spirit and in Truth. (John 4:24)

Focused intention directed by the Spirit of The Absolute leads us to the manifestation of the will of Father/Mother God and keeps us from depleting spiritual energy and from running about to and fro aimlessly. From Awaken to the Spirit World, Making art and working consciously with imagery, music and words provides a focus for bringing the energies required for healing an individual, community and planet. (This energy this power comes from the power of The Absolute.) I am a hallow bone an empty reed a person who is an instrument of the Great I AM. I now not only surrender all so called blocking situations to The Absolute, my Father/Mother, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, I also let go of my etheric attachments to these blocks. I put total trust in the Great I AM that loves me unconditionally and is my very life, source and breath of my being. When we try to solve our own so-called problems instead of fully releasing ourselves to the Great I AM, we cause unhealthy attachments to the negative energy. Even when we finally do turn it over we still are feeling that cord of attachment. Ask to be disengaged from this energy. I had been praying and meditation asking Father/Mother God how to perform my duties. I had been doing this for a while. Then one evening, it was revealed to me that The Absolute will show me moment by moment. I am an instrument. I had wanted to know every step of the way but I have to be surrendered to do whatever The Absolute needs me to do. Even the little things, such as an intentional smile or a gentle hello to one in need.
29

Whatever you do, if it is from the direction of the Lord and motivated by love it is ministry. Father/Mother God daily I surrender to your leading. My efforts in prayer, study, meditation, and surrender to The Absolute, does not bring me more of the Absolutes presence. Father/Mother God graciously gives that. Not my efforts but just receiving the Gift is all that is necessary. It does seem, however, that those spiritual disciplines increases ones capacity to receive. It is the Spirit in humankind, the breath of the Almighty, the I AM presence, that makes one understand. (Job 32:8) I trust this Spirit within that teaches me, leads me, and gives me what to say. Thank-you Absolute for wisdom and the courage to live what you graciously reveal. When God, The Absolute, reveals a purpose or promise to you, receive it the way that The Absolute said it the way it was revealed. Do not compromise on the promised outcome. Do not let apparent delay, hardship, ridicule of others or even your own doubts cause you to water down Gods revealed word to you. It is somewhat ironic that in serving humanity, especially in the realm of expanding spiritual consciousness, one cannot put attention on what others think first. You just have to follow the Holy Spirits leading and leave the results to The Absolute. Humankinds nature is God nature divine nature it does not change. Our nature, though in the appearance of being fallen is still divine just at the bottom end of polarity. We were created by The Absolute in the Alls image. Nothing can change that. We are Divine Selah. Restoration of that knowledge and a quickening of the Holy Spirit is needed to awaken that seed of

30

right ness within. Jesus, the Christ, came and destroyed the veil that prevented this work within from taking place. Father/Mother God has revealed to me why I have been given a thirst for all different types of spiritual paths (even though I am fulfilled in Jesus). One of my purposes is to try and show the unity of all life. One cannot do that so well if he/she doesnt know the language, in this case, spiritual language of the person they are trying to communicate with. Im not trying to change any ones beliefs at all. But through the power of The Absolute, show that we are all trying to accomplish the same thing unity with The I AM and to truly love one another. Each vessel of Father/Mother God are only beacons to others that are on their paths. The wisdom that has been given to the vessel through grace, serve as a library of spiritual wisdom. Each vessel, should see themselves as a clerk for this living library, helping others find the book they need, but the book is for each pilgrim to read and interpret for themselves. In whatever spiritual path that one travels you will have missed the point if you only learn steps and techniques to joy and bliss. The joy and bliss is found in The Absolute. If your steps and techniques do not aid you in finding love and love for the Absolute they still will be empty. The techniques the steps do not produce the joy that you are looking for. Only union with the Father/Mother God can do that. I am learning that those seekers on the spiritual journey that have found a true union with The Absolute do not try and push their way on you. They have come to see the one Truth and it does not matter to them if The Absolute chooses to express that Truth in a different way than they are experiencing. Anyone who tries to push his or her views is living from ego and not from love.
31

Only in returning to me (Knowing and believing in my oneness with Father/Mother God) and resting in (The Absolute) is my salvation. In quiet faith, confidence and trust, is my strength. (Isaiah 30:15) The only duty the only business of all teachers of the Kingdom to reveal God within to the individual person to reveal the God within as the All loving Father. Also to lead this individual person to their son/daughter consciousness/Christ consciousness. Humankind must first be truly born of the spirit (awaken to who we really are in our respect to our oneness with The Absolute) before they can understand the mysteries. The soul of man requires spiritual exercise as well as spiritual nourishment. (Quote) It is comforting to know that my Father/Mother wants me to give out what is being poured into my spirit and soul. Receiving from the spirit realm is designed for us to transmit to others. What joy it brings to share the sweet nectar of Gods love and grace with others. Genuine Spiritual ecstasy is usually associated with great outward calmness and an almost perfect emotional control. (Shaking Medicine) It is time out for spiritual teachings that continue to put up barriers that divide the children of God. We must work toward the augmentation of the spiritual brotherhood of worship among the many followers of the differing intellection (doctrines) spirit path.

32

If humankind is to truly know God, The Absolute, The I AM, then it must part with its theology that says, I have God figured out. Theology is an attempt to define God. But how can one define something that is so vast, so great, that it is beyond words. Cease in trying to define God and just in faith and surrender, allow God to reveal to you. The minds and doctrines of all humans will never be able to encompass or give full knowledge of The Absolute. The greatest need of humankind is to awaken to GodConsciousness. This is needed more than physical healing more than material gain. Holy Spirit, help and empower me to recognize your divine gifts in others and then help me to nurture and develop them along the path which will be most beneficial to that person. I know discipline and development is a must but not all training will fit. We are all diverse and temperaments are not the same. What works for one may not work for another. The Goal is one in the same but arriving at that goal is vast. Teach me what each person needs to be awakened and strengthen that I may encourage him or her to trust you in that area for you to develop them. Lord, reveal to me the secret to encourage your children, including myself, to be disciplined. That is a battle. Since I do not question the illumination and revelation that The Absolute reveals to me of its nature then I will no longer question the illumination and the revelation that The Absolute gives concerning who I am. In truth, uncertainty is the killer of power in the life of a son or daughter of The Absolute.
33

Trusting Father/Mother God, the only thing required is believing not forcing. The love of The Absolute has no boundaries, no limits. Faith alone quickens this tangible love in the lives of the I AMs children. Living with a consciousness that your desire is a reality (those desires in line with Gods will) is being in vibration harmony with that desire. It is a consciousness that you already have what has been revealed. To declare the I AMs name throughout the earth, does not just mean to talk theoretically about God. To declare means to receive life, power, love, mercy, physical substance from The Absolute and then to physically share all with others and the planet at large even the universe. In the pursuit of any spiritual path the cause is The Absolute; the effect is the transformation of our lives. Because I have been through a trillion phases on my journey and have come out better - I know that I have at least a trillion more. But now, this makes me smile. I am an emanation of The Absolute. My life flows from The Absolute I must always receive my life from Father/Mother God if I am to continue to thrive. Must stay hooked to the vine.

34

A persons philosophy can never trump your experience with The Divine. Seek experience with The Absolute and then you will know for yourself. For me the only true purpose in life: to know and experience The Absolute and to love all humankind. I can truly only help those are willing to be on this same goal oriented path or at least open to it. Im not here to prove or disprove anyones path. But if within your path you seek union with The Absolute, we can walk together if not, my unconditional love will travel with you regardless. A new way first starts with asking a different question. If you keep asking the same question you will get the same answer and you will keep producing the same results. Let the Spirit lead you to a new question and then you will discover a new dimension. In the dark night of the soul or our purging of selfexperiences, the greatest blessing is the exposure of our ego self and our weakness. To see and experience our very human failures and frailties aid in helping to keep us from deluding ourselves. We delude ourselves by believing that the power that lives in and through us is generated from our ego self. At these times we learn that all power, all good that may express itself through us is from The Absolute. Even though this power flows from within, we have learned that it is because of Grace and not in and of ourselves. Father/Mother God designs their childrens spiritual education and training. Through devotion, meditation, contemplation, study, prayer, asking in other words through
35

relationship let it be unfolded to you. Only then will your spiritual journey and pursuits change you and transform you, fulfill you and satisfy you. We have different levels of spiritual frequencies and vibrations different but one in purpose so different spiritual practices are needed. Let the Divine, who knows you perfectly show you your way. Your brothers and sisters, if they really know their place, know that they cannot reveal your path to you or empower you brothers and sisters can only support. Always remember, it is much more important to love the Divine, be in focused awareness of the Divine, in love and adoration of the Divine, than to work on behalf of the Divine. The latter, not fueled by the former will become polluted selfcentered, empty and corrupt. Besides, union and love of the Divine and sharing its fruits with others is the true purpose of this phase of life. I just receive life, The Divine, The Absolute, The I AM is the originator of all. Misuse of the spiritual gifts and tools of the emanations of The Absolute easily happens to a person who lives by his/her lower nature. Maturity of spirit and a motivation of love should be sought before the pursuit of these spiritual tools lest we try to use them as a spell. All spiritual paths teach a required perfecting of the soul in order to reach affecting union with the True Self The Absolute - to abide in the Kingdom of joy, peace and fulfillment. Usually this soul work may require years and years to prefect. However, there is an energy of faith that brings you into this rest, this union that is already the desire and will of our Father/Mother God. This faith does not mean that the soul is not involved in the transformation process. This faith is an
36

understanding that of myself, I can do nothing. Faith receives all power, life, knowledge, wisdom, supply, health, protection and union as a free gift of God. Faith allows the inner-man to be conformed while at the same time prayer, meditation, study, acts of service flow freely and are then truly motivated by love. I work for the family business, Temple Building. Since God created the earth to be lived in, there must be wisdom that exist to allow humankind to do just that and in a noble and helpful way. Well there is but we just dont listen and follow it. Awareness is a must in spiritual growth. You must know what is happening and become an active part in the process for true growth to take root and to be truly able to produce fruit that can glorify God and bless the world. Inspired knowledge or revelation starts a spiritual process and is the avenue to actual manifestation. Fruit is a by-product of being one with the Divine. True life, joy and expression is Oneness. The biggest problem for one who aids another on their journey expressing that which only one who has awakened can understand. I read a good description about doubt Doubt is like breaking a rule. Not necessarily like breaking a moral rule or a rule of behavior but like putting an electrical appliance that is turned on into a tub of water. The system will short out and not work.
37

I know that it is hard to accept that it is not our prayers and soul work that is the generator of our change but it is not. The Absolute is the only power and our awareness of Truth is what allows the generator to work in our lives. It is co-operation that we engage in not operation. I have been called and appointed I said yes- and I am great with it. I have been trained and empowered for my beloved duty I need not wonder if by the power of the Spirit I succeed. In order to understand something new we have to enter a new paradigm. (You cant put new wine in old wine skins). This is my business to actualize within time and space the very real presence of The Absolute. We have all the resources of the Heavenly realm to be led out of darkness back into the light. The more we become aware of the Good that Father/Mother God desires for us to have - the more we understand and rest in this Good, the more the Good appears in our lives. It is not our ability to bring about the Good. It is just the awareness of and acceptance of the Good that the Divine has purposed. A priest Ignatius once said, I will believe that the white I see is black if the hierarchical church so defines it. This is a dangerous kind of devotion. It puts the gift of vision that comes from God into the hands of other people. How many of us have missed the revelations and the visions of the I AM, The Absolute,
38

that have come directly to us because some man-made power that be defines it as something else. I will not deny how far Father/Mother God has brought me on my spiritual journey. I have not had a clean, perfect in my actions journey. I have stumbled and fallen. I have resisted and doubted. I have disobeyed and cried to be released and spared from pruning. But the faithfulness of Father/Mother God won out and carried me on anyhow. Now I surrender to you Father/Mother God and your grace as you continue to lead me and empower me. Let it be a peace filled journey. Still growing but the power of life that flows through me and my awareness of it is so strong. I love to study about this life, this source, this Absolute Father/Mother God but more and more only experiencing God fulfills the yearning within me experience of this Divine love that truly can not be expressed with words. This love burns within me with a fire and light of 10 billion suns. Even though I exist in the world (system) my work is not through the system. Political and worldly movements are not my assignment. Being Oneness and teaching the same is my only work my only focus. Those who proclaim the desire of spiritual pursuit and still wishes for the world (system) can never begin the journey. Any question concerning spiritual or religious pursuits that contain, how can this help me? What good will this do me? will still leave one in the lower levels of existence and still shows that one is still attached to this illusion.

39

How can this help me in the so-called real world? If you still think that the illusion is the real world, no spiritual pursuit will help you. In spiritual growth you will have to sacrifice any puny present pleasure for the long-term good of your spirit and union with The Absolute. This reality has been taught through out the centuries. In spiritual growth, you may not understand properly or conquer a lesson the first, second or 100th time. Do not be discouraged. Purity of heart is most important and also knowing that the disciplining of the little self is the greatest and hardest task in all of life. Do not think too highly of your own personal ability to overcome. It will be most prudent to understand from the beginning, of myself, I can do nothing and become dependent upon, from the start, on the Spirit to do the overcoming. Learn to be humble and meek and just surrender. Your appointed end, union and Oneness will be made manifest.

Like the Oracles of the Godhead have these words become to me.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt "Citizenship in a Republic" Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

he older I get, the more deeply I believe but the less beliefs I have. (A retired Bishop)

Give me a base of support and with a lever I will move the world. (Archimedes) It is not the guns or armament or the money they can pay. Its the close cooperation that makes them win the day. Its not the individual or the army as a whole but the everlasting team work of every bloomin soul. (J. Mason Knox) One ship drives east and another drives west with the self-same winds that blow. Tis the set of the sail and not the gales which tell us the way to go. Like the waves of the sea are the ways of fate as we voyage along thru life. Tis the set of the soul which decides its goal and not the calm or the strife. (Ella Wheeler Wilcox) Oh God, you sell us everything for the price of an effort. (Leonardo Da Vinci) Nothing external has any power over me. (Walt Whitman) To every man there opens, a way and ways and a way. The high soul climbs the highway and the low soul gropes the low and in between on the misty flats the rest drift to and fro. But to every man there opens a high way and a low and every man decideth the way his soul shall go. (John Oxenham) The great were once as you. They whom men magnify today once groped and blundered on lifes way were fearful of themselves and thought by magic was mans greatness wrought.

Guest) Over and over and over, these truths I will weave in song; that Gods great plan needs you and me that will is greater than destiny and that love moves the world along. (Ella Wheeler Wilcox) "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe in anything because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and benefit of all, then accept it and live up to it."

I read the papers every day, and oft encounter tales which show there's hope for every jay who in life's battle fails. I've just been reading of a gent who joined the has-been ranks, at fifty years without a cent, or credit at the banks. But undismayed he buckled down, refusing to be beat, and captured fortune and renown; he's now on Easy Street. Men say that fellows down and out ne'er leave the rocky track, but facts will show, beyond a doubt, that has-beens do come back. I know, for I who write this rhyme, when forty-odd years old, was down and out, without a dime, my whiskers full of mold. By black disaster I was trounced until it jarred my spine; I was a failure so pronounced I didn't need a sign. And after I had soaked my coat, I said (at forty-three), "I'll see if I can catch the goat that has escaped from me." I labored hard; I strained my dome, to do my daily grind, until in triumph I came home, my billy goat behind. And any man who still has health may with the winners stack, and have a chance at fame and wealth--for has-beens do come back. (Walt Mason)

Intelligence and education apparently didnt make any important difference in the human nature. (Bean Enders Shadow)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (Marilyn Williamson)

When something is sacred, it does not have a price. If you can buy it, it isnt sacred. Once you start to sell it, it doesnt matter whether your reasons are good or not you are taking what is sacred and making it ordinary. Spirituality cannot be bought or sold and nobody has a right to capitalize by attempting to do so. Prayer (a ture releationship with the Great Spirit) can not be purchased. (Native American Wisdom)

A truth that has been sanctified to our own good will not be without an anointing for others. (Charles Spurgeon)

The more we step into our Christ-Consciousness, the more we understand our Oneness with God and discover our unlimited potential we will stop letting our fears control our lives.

(James Gunn) Simplicity touched by the Higher Dimension produces the greatest genius. (Jamie Karris) It remains a paradox of the mystics that the passivity at which they appear to aim is really a state of the most intense activity: more, that where it is wholly absent no great creative action can take place. In it, the superficial self compels itself to be still, in order that it may liberate another more deep-seated power which is, in the ecstasy of the contemplative genius, raised to the highest pitch of efficiency.
