We Are
Life

The history of the human race
records how smart we can be, and how destructive we can be....how cruel....how
sublime.
Why so cruel? How so
sublime?
HELLO EVERYONE, WELCOME TO THE MODERN MYSTIC.
As we study all the
Information we have on Earth, including all the Holy Books, we know it has all
come through human Beings.....some of whom have lived deeply Spiritual,
powerful human lives.....either as great Teachers or as the humble Servant as in
the case of Mother Theresa of Calcutta. In each and every case, 'God' is doing, on
the Earth, for the Earth, what can only be done through the willing, loving
cooperation of some human being,
someone who allows his
Soul to lead the Way.
The human/Soul Partnership, must by its very Nature, produce works of Beauty....and there is no reason to
believe, that this Partnership of man and God, if given the chance, won’t
produce the Freedom and Peace so longed for on this Planet.
The Peaceful 'Ways of
God' seem difficult for the human mind to accept. Our human minds can’t scientifically explain
'God' or fathom the 'Mind of God'....and so many in our current masculine,
mentally oriented society have turned their backs on the entire Concept of
Universal Godness...and 'thrown the baby out with the bathwater', as the saying goes.
The Process of 'Feminization'...a Way of Living that includes the Energy of the
Heart is underway....and will finally open the heart chakra of the masculine
side of Life, allowing men to begin to 'feel God', each in his own unique,
individual way.
There is no mistaking the
'heart feeling' of Love. That's God!
Now the 'Peaceful Ways of God
will be felt....and the human mind will join in.
As I seek words to describe
our Mystical, and logical Relationship with 'God', it is always in the Hope
there may come Spiritual Healing and a Raising Activity through those words. As
well as
Inspiration for the human/Soul Work that has to be done on Earth....the Sacred Work
needed to fulfill God’s Promises of Freedom and Peace for all on this Planet.
May those Promises of Freedom
and Peace be fulfilled through every country. America is reaching
out to share the Vision of Freedom with Others around the world.
Won’t you join me today in
saying,
LET THERE BE PEACE ON
EARTH AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME.
In 1999
I wrote a series of 13 programs for
KEST AM Radio in San Francisco, California, again built around previously written Essays.
I called that series
THE ROAD TO SOUL LIBERATION.
One of those programs was entitled simply...
We Are Life....
Today I’m going to repeat as much of that Essay as time permits.
But first, we need our Quiet
Time....so, for the next few minutes, let’s slow down the work of our hands and
minds....and let our Holy Christ Self take over, allowing It to fill
us with good Ideas....and with whatever Information we need to make the rest of our day work
well for us.
Then, we’ll reinforce the
Wall of Protecting Christ Energy around us, everyday adding more Light....everyday filling
It with more Peace and Love.
For these few Blessed
Quiet Moments, we
leave behind all worrisome thoughts and feelings....and shut out any pressure.
This is a healing place....a place to heal and strengthen all that is our
current Life.
Now...we'll wrap ourselves in the
Blazing Heart Light of God
Seeing opalescent Light
spiraling around ourselves
We open our
minds to the highest Information Channels
and invite Christ Light to stream
forth into our Hearts and Minds
That we may become Channels
for Light and Illumination....
for
Peace, Healing and Love to
descend to Earth.
The last several programs
focused on Healing....on healing every aspect of our lives....and that covers a
lot of territory. And my remarks raised some issues among you, regarding the
traps of mass merchandising as it pertains to our water, food and medical
care....and even entertainment was asked about....”How do we keep the mind and
body strong and well, when faced with so much garbage?
This was the way one of you
phrased it?
So let’s talk about this a
bit more....about how we protect and promote the healing of our Energy and what
we can do to keep the physical body strong and well, mentally and emotionally.
Let me put the final touch on
those Ideas this way.
Bottom line to everything we are or are not.....
Everything
we wish to be or wish not to be.... is this.
Whether we wish to acknowledge it or not, we will have full control over our lives as soon as
we understand and live according to the Spiritual rule that says:
We create
our lives minute by minute by the combination of everything we
do, think, feel, or say....
followed by understanding that we, then, are
totally
RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING WE ARE
TODAY
OR WISH TO BECOME TOMORROW.
Now much cannot be
changed overnight....but all 'change' must be begun sometime, somewhere and by
us.
Now if we lived in another
time or place we might have some difficulty in effecting personal change or in
exercising our responsibility.
But, we Americans and
many in other lands, live where it is still possible to make personal choices. And so, if the
Lifestreams (people in charge) running our Municipal Water Systems are sending
us water not fit to drink or bathe in, generally we have some choice at least as
to whether or not we will drink it....though I realize, not everyone can
afford to exercise that choice.
It would be nice to
think that if enough of us stopped using impure Municipal Water, we could
put that Public Utility out of business or in some way, force the issue of clean
water. I realize that is easier said than done....and yet we have a
responsibility to our own Life to do what we can.
It falls to us to look after
our own health. In America it is possible to win these kinds of battles,
peacefully, through the ballot box.
Regarding food:
If the mass growers, and
processors and merchandisers of the food we eat, continue to engage in practices
that compromise the food value or purity or safety of the food we need to eat in
order to maintain the physical body, then we have to find ways around that.
Some of us can find another
market....we can patronize those who sell and provide only the least
compromised foods or the best food available. And we can keep on asking for
better, until our food is fit to eat and does more than fill us with empty
calorie and chemicals.
And until the health of our bodies
reflects the quality of the food we have put in them.
Healthy bodies do not have broken immune
systems.
Of course, if health is
our goal we can’t
continue to eat junk.
Again, we are always
responsible for whatever is happening to us. We absolutely must accept that as a
'given' and go on from there whatever the circumstances.
We are the ones who let our
bodies get sick....sometimes medical advice fails us. But again we can read and
think and we can figure some of this out for ourselves.
Such as, doing only
those things that we know will keep us well.
We are
responsible for everything that happens in our lives....every minute of our
lives. And if we didn’t create the problem in this embodiment, somewhere along
the line of our other life experiences, we have to have set Energy in motion,
that is responsible for causing whatever we are experiencing today.
That is a Cosmic Law of
Energy.
Now, I know that’s hard for
us to swallow....it is easier if our problems can be blamed on someone else.
What I call the 'left hand
path' knows this....and uses human weaknesses to get control of us and to
feather their own nests.
And way
back, the Truth of Personal Responsibility, Body and Soul, was twisted or taken
out of an Original True Teaching that I believe was always part of the human
experience...Teaching that was old, ancient before the time of the One we know
as Jesus, but was re-introduced again to the mass of
people through this Great Being two thousand years ago....and is being brought
forward again in our time.
And government and church officials of
old....and still today, wanting to keep control, kept and still keep the Teaching of Personal
Responsibility out of the Bible....and probably out of other Holy Books as well.
During the last
thousand or so years, the 'controllers' of our lives substituted the concept of
evil and original sin (over which we were told we have no control) as the reason
for our suffering,...and I'm confident they thought and think that
'mankind will never move ahead, for the Soul is trapped forever, having been directed,
Body and Soul, onto the wrong path'
Clever fellow, those of
the left hand path! 'Keep mankind bound forever with lies and dis-information'
they say. 'Then they will continue to be our slaves, our bread and butter'. And
it's been 'job
security for them' into our time!
And then, not casting
all blame on the Devil...for much of mankind today knows of what I speak....the
fact is that many of us still don’t want to accept responsibility for what is happening to us.
Making it easier for church
and government and industry to have people dependent on them.
Think about it!
Our 'dependency' is 'job
security' for millions of people the world over....as People of God we have
created and allowed and now we reap.
In fact, we people demand
certain things be done for us...and to us, some of which isn’t
good for us or just isn't working. And if anything is to change in this
picture, it is we, who have to get our heads on straight....look at what what we
are doing to cause or allow these problems to enter our lives.
And
many for the most part, still haven’t a clue.
The Answers lie in our
human/Soul Partnership that can know all things. We are not without
Answers. We just have to want Them and learn to access Them.
I want to pursue this subject
of Responsibility from another perspective.
When 'Jesus' came two thousand
years ago, it was to help us change our dependency on outmoded Ideas of that
time. And as we study His Message carefully, we find not only the 'updated
Ideas of Brotherhood, but also the Message that teaches Personal Responsibility.
He spoke to us of
Universal Power, of the existence of Supreme Beingness, when He spoke of God....telling
us that 'that Power' in the form of Christness existed within each human
being....that it had to be used....had to be activated....we find this
Instruction in His references to the Father....saying, “of myself (my human
self) I
can do nothing....it is the Father, my Christed Self (God) that is
the Doer”.
He showed us how that
Christ Power was to be used to create and heal. And told us we could all create
and heal as He did. He said then and it is as true today that we had to observe
the 'Laws of God' and we had to Live in loving and charitable relationships with
our fellow man.
That in doing so, the Powerful Christ Energy would
expand within us, and
would finally absorb us into Itself.....we would be 'resurrected'.
And the human/Soul Partnership would become one
with that Great Cosmic I AM Energy, and we would be able to invoke into our
daily lives, the Power of our own I AM Presence and Holy Christ Self....
and do those things He
did that we still think are Miracles.
He told us, among much other
Information, that He’d been sent to show us the Way.... do you remember He said
“I AM THE WAY”.
“I AM the Open Door”...
”I AM the Door that No Man Can Shut” ....
Or we can say
,
“GOD or GODNESS IS THE WAY...
GOD OR GODNESS IS THE OPEN
DOOR....
GOD OR GODNESS IS THE DOOR
THAT NO MAN CAN SHUT...
When he used the words
I AM
He wasn’t talking about His Physical Self ...rather He was prefacing those
statements and many others, with the Spiritually Powerful Words,
I AM....the Words that
activate the Power of 'God' at our point in the Universe.
I have always believed He was sent
to deliver that specific Cosmic Instruction for the Piscean Cycle with the
God-Hope that much that has transpired since could have been avoided.
For the Jesus Message
brought in the next Lesson in Soul Evolution....the gist of which was to
Love One Another.
We were from then on, expected take care of each other....
expected to begin treat
others as we would prefer to be treated.
I sense the Jesus
Message wasn’t sent as a request that we might want to start loving one
another....
rather I think 'God' sent Jesus to us with another Commandment.
...and we were then and are now expected to honor It and obey It.
And it becomes our
Sacred Responsibility to do so, once we know the Law. And we and the
whole Planet suffer the
consequences of non-love if we don't.
Remember:
No one forces us to hate,
which is what non-love is. It is hate in one degree or another...small hate or
big hate. It is all non-love.
Jesus graphically
demonstrated His Message...telling us and showing us what we were capable of
doing....and becoming.
.And He said, “greater things than these will you do”.
But with all the
new Knowledge and Power that would develop as we began to live the Law, came
Responsibility.
We were told to be
careful because we do reap what we sow.
And it is only logical
to believe that if we are to be safe in this
world, we must sow only Love....which is the Highest Vibration, the most productive
Sacred Energy of
the Supreme Being.
The Jesus Message taught us
was
the Practicality of Love and
of Responsibility.
It was a Message
given to all people, everywhere on this Planet.
Jesus came to people or
sent disciples to people all over Planet....and there is historical
evidence to back up that statement. Jesus and the Message do not
belong to any one religious group or people. He brought in Cyclic
Instruction that was and is meant for the whole world...yesterday and today.
The whole world needs to wake
up and start implementing The Message, if Peace on Earth is to be realized. If
the Planet and people are to be spared much agony and despair!
It is the only Way!
So as we look out over
our complex world, we have to remember that we have been given the tools,
physical and Spiritual, to work
with....and we are Responsible for using them.
Our total lives are our responsibility....
We are Life and all things are possible for us.
And expected of us!
So in 1999 I recorded an Essay and called it simply
WE ARE LIFE.
I began it as today,
"Welcome again to the
Modern Mystic....I’m here to share my thoughts....let me begin by again
reminding my listener that the definition of Mystic is....”one who seeks a one
on one relationship with God”....and an Essay reflects the opinions of the
writer or speaker.
I want to begin this talk
with several personal statements of a philosophical, Spiritual nature.
BEGINNING WITH THIS:
I DO NOT ACCEPT THE IDEA OF
THE EXISTENCE OF ANYTHING
APART FROM A GOD
SOURCE....
WHOSE IDEA OR DESIRE
EVERYTHING IS
NEXT:
I BELIEVE EVERYTHING IN
MANIFESTATION IS FORMED THROUGH THE ACTIVATION OF THE 'ESSENCE OR ENERGY' OF THE
GREAT GOD-SOURCE.
FINALLY:
I BELIEVE THERE ARE
NATURAL LAWS OF SCALE....
IMMUTABLE UNIVERSAL LAWS OF
NATURE .
THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCE
KNOWN AS FRACTAL GEOMETRY SPEAKS ABOUT THOSE LAWS OF SCALE. MY SMALL
UNDERSTANDING OF FRACTAL GEOMETRY SAYS IT DESCRIBES EVERYTHING IN THE MANIFESTED WORLD AS BEING “SCALE
DEPENDENT”....THAT IS: THAT THE SMALLER PARTS OF A LARGER WHOLE HAVE THE SAME
CHARACTERISTICS....THE SMALLER BEING THE EXACT REPLICA OF THE LARGER OR
GREATER.
IF THAT IS SO, THEN WE SOULS
ARE EXACT, THOUGH OBVIOUSLY SMALLER SPARKS OF HIGHEST GODNESS....
SIMPLY PUT, WE EACH ONE OF
US, INDIVIDUALLY, HAVE ALL THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF
BASIC UNIVERSAL GODNESS....
OF BASIC UNIVERSAL
CONSCIOUSNESS.
These statements sum up my
feelings and thoughts about our 'human condition' and our Relationship with Supreme
Beingness. By all the Laws of Nature we have to be Small Increments of Divine Life,
We have to be Life that is experiencing
Itself
through smaller units of
Itself....
and the Smaller
Unit on Earth is the embodied Soul
who is a
'bit of Godness' experiencing
Itself being human.
WE ARE THAT LIFE,
And that answers for me for
the time being the question,
“who am I?”.
For now
I can say,
“I AM A SOUL ENJOYING A HUMAN
EXPERIENCE!”
At the first dawning of that
Concept, we invariably say, WOW....that’s a powerful thought....I’ll have to
think about this.
However, why does this
surprise us? We are accustomed to saying “We are Children of Almighty God”. What
is the difference?
Except that now when
we say “I AM God-in-action within the human/Soul Journey” we have taken the
next responsive and responsible step to understanding the human/Soul
Partnership,
for it is within that Partnership that Conscious, Creative, Cosmic
Activity of Body and Soul takes place.
Currently we tend to or
prefer to see ourselves as children being taken care of, rather than as adults with
responsibilities.
Much of humanity is trained
today to think that someone human or Divine is going to take care of them or
come and rescue them from all their problems.
But there is much we
aren’t taught yet....about how practical Life is....both human and
Spiritual....and that if we’re going to get anywhere in this world, as human or
Spirit, we have to take it step by practical step. And we have to do it.
We all experience the modern
efforts made to educate us, humanly. So far there is no organization that sufficiently educates
us about our Divinity, our Soul. That even though there are many avenues to provide religious
training and information.
However, things are changing as we keep saying...
So
let’s speak now of the Twentieth Century Teaching that is now revealing to us our Holy
Christ Self and our I AM Presence....
teaching us that when we say
I AM
we are activating not only Spiritual Power within us but, also that Almighty Power
above us....and we do this consciously and unconsciously, day in and day out.
Religion has taught us that 'God' refers to Himself as
“I AM THAT
I
AM”....and that's something very interesting to ponder. We know that Jesus
prefaced many of His positive statements with that name of 'God',
'I AM'.
Let's take an example. When he said,
“I
AM
the Resurrection and the Life”
He knew that He
was setting into motion
the Power of God
that would force a Resurrecting Activity in His Life.
He wanted us to know that
if we used that Statement or any Statement starting with the words,
I AM
we also would expand Powerful Christ Energy flowing within our lives.....
and we would create according to our Command to Life.
For we do
create whatever we declare to be,
by combining the words
I
AM
with any thought, feeling or action...
and we create, most powerfully, with the 'spoken word'.
We can listen to our conversations, 'hear' our thoughts, think how we express our
feelings....how often do we begin by saying
I AM
this or
I AM
that....and then, think about what words we use following 'I AM'.
Thinking about this brings us to the Realization of the Existence of what can
only be
BASIC ESSENCE OR ENERGY OR SIMPLY, PURE UNIVERSAL POWER....another
name for Universal
GODNESS that flows within us, giving us
the Power to create that which we declare to be.
Something has to account for all the 'form' we see on Earth and in the Heavens.
Thus, we need to know what responsibility, we, the human/Soul Partnership has as
it plays its Part in using and expanding this Essence....this Energy....this
Power....this Basic Godness.
Let's think now, about how we expand
Godness
in Quality and Power as we use It.
How we can constructively, consciously set
It to work in our lives to solve the problems of our lives...
or problems in
the Life of the Planet.
And how we can be of use
to 'God' and the Higher Life of the Heavens.
First, there’s a lot we need to
know about ourselves.
We need to know that Godness
flows within us....a State of Being I describe as Soulness. We are working
Souls....embodied in physical bodies. In our most useful, efficient
State on Earth, we are a human/Soul Partnership.
Man and God working
together on Earth.
It helps us to know
that we have this Grand Purpose.
My personal sense is, that our
'bottom line Purpose' has always been to Channel Light onto this Planet....
to be Channels for God Light and Creativity
to flow as It is needed.
Thus there are the varied
Life Experiences of the many Souls embodied here at any given time.
At the human level, as we are learning, we have to take these Ideas on
Faith....
There are
those who
say a Belief in God is enough, an end in itself....that
there’s no need know anything more than that nor to do anything more than simply acknowledge
God....just Believe and Faith....and in that single process, achieve all there
is to achieve of Eternal Life.
But what I wish to stress
here, is that while Believing and Faithing are steps along the Way, we mustn’t
stop there, for if we do, we will be following a passive Spiritual Route, which
fails to serve the Greater Purposes of 'God' and fails to allow the Soul to
access those Higher Ascended Spheres of Knowing in the Process of Becoming the
Great Masters of Light that we are all destined to become.
Remember
the Words of Jesus:
'That which I do, you shall
all do, etc....'
In our thought Process here, the most important and first Truth offered is
that
WE ARE SOULS, SPARKS OF ETERNAL LIFE.
But that Life/Energy must be worked if It is to be expanded...and we achieve
that expansion of Godness wherever we are by being all we can be day by day.
There are passive
Spiritual systems....and at a glance it is seen that they are usually peaceful
systems, but it also would seem that their followers advance very little,
humanly or Spiritually. In justification of those systems, perhaps occasionally,
a Life experience of quiet contemplation may be just what a busy Soul needs from
time to time.
However, my vision of God,
either as a Single Idea or as the Ultimate Power, radiating out into the
whole Universe, does not show me a passive 'God'. I see 'Godness' as Active
in many forms,
as ever expanding
Creativity throughout the Universe.
I see 'God Essence' as
Energy waiting and wanting to be used....wanting to be worked.
I see our human/Soul
Partnership as the Catalyst that activates all that Creativity using that Divine
Essence to do it
So let's think about this
Knowledge of God and what we are learning about ourselves, and how we are
to use it as human beings. If we’re doubtful about this whole “Soul Idea”
let’s ask some questions....
like, how much Creativity
does the human mind, all by itself, possess? Is it any more than the
average smart animal?
If it is MORE, then
where does the additional Intelligence or Creativity come from? And the answer to that question
invariably leads the discussion to a Supreme Being and that often includes the
consideration of 'Soul'.
And questions like: Is
there or isn’t there something called a Soul.
If so, the question
becomes 'what exactly is
a Soul'....where is it....is it mortal or is it immortal? On and on.
After years
of thinking about it, for me it came down to finally accepting the Idea of
embodied Soulness,
believing completely in
the Eternal Existence of myself,
now manifesting on Earth, as a Spark of God Consciousness
embodied in a human form.....in short, a Soul.
And eventually realizing that I, the 'Soul' was
the Partner of the human-me on this Journey.
Which actually is the Journey
of the Soul.
That realization answered many questions for me.
. And thus was born my Concept of
the human/Soul Partnership.
So let’s talk about
this. We can see how the human body has been developing over the ages, step by
step, becoming a better vessel for Soul Life. And we can expect it to evolve
more as it continues to be the Instrument through which more 'Godness' of Higher
Vibration comes to
Earth.
And we’re told that the Soul
Essence, as it leaves the
Holy Christ
Body is a Frequency Higher than the Energy of the Earth or physical body. It
has to be lowered (in frequency) to enter the body and that this is done
by allowing It to flow first through something like a transformer (in electrical
parlance)....we call it a Chakra or Energy Center just
above the physical body which acts as a transformer, lowering or raising
Energy to accommodate the vessel into which it is flowing.
Intuition provides an Idea of
how Souls began as Small Increments of Light....having a separate evolutionary
Pathway from other Life Forms, such as the Angels who rarely choose to
embody....we are told that some Angels have taken the Soul Path and have and do
now walk the Earth and some have transcended this plane (Ascended) and are now
Great Beings of Light.
And all of us, once ascended
back to the I AM Presence, are also described as Angels.
At any rate, with the
passage of eons of time and because of the way in which we are able to expand God
Light, there are in the Universe today, Souls of very great Light and Power.
And there are, by
comparison, some still very tiny Sparks of Light.
Where are we on the Soul
Scale?
Well, most of us are somewhere between those two poles.
But what happens next?, As the
human accepts the Idea of a Soul Partnership and the Partnership progresses, we,
Body and Soul, wake up ....and as a Partnership, begin to live our
Lives in an expanded human and Spiritual mind-set.
We
find we are naturally placing more of our focus on God/good, and thus begin to
draw more Energy of that High quality into our lives.
Life is really very
mathematical and very predictable.
What we send out
will always return to us clothed in more of the quality sent out.
This is why we talk of watching our
every thought, feeling and action and especially our spoken words....for we
constantly qualify or color or change our Energy by what we think, feel, do or say.
So back
we go to the subject of vibration and what happens to original God Energy
when we use It.
What have we created by
our use of Pure God Energy as It flows into the physical form? What have we set into motion?
Something always has to
happen. Energy directed by any Conscious Mind, has to go where it’s directed,
charged with the quality (love or hate, etc) of the thought, feeling or action(s)
of the sender.
And It always has to return to
the sender, because the 'sender' is Its owner.
It returns bearing the same
Quality, expanded, Much can be said on this subject another time.
Let us think now about
how our Energy, consciously directed for good purposes, returns to us, clothed in
Greater Good. We want to see how it raises the Vibration of our physical
body....and expands our combined human/Soul Consciousness.
Until, one day we, each man
and woman begins to realize and function in Conscious Partnership with the
Guiding Soul Mind....Body and Soul ultimately fusing, as it were, until we have
what I have been calling the Human/Soul Partnership.
We have the beginning of the
God-man or God-woman.
We now have human emotions
and intellect integrated with the Higher Knowing and Love of the Soul.
Knowing this, can there
be any doubt of the value of acknowledging 'Godness' in our daily lives. What
more do we have to know to be convinced that a human Life, with the Life-giving
Soul Essence constantly expanding within it, is the difference between the brightest
day and the darkest night?
What it boils down to
is this:
In order to progress as
individuals or as a Nation or Planet, the human mind must accept the Idea of a human/Soul Connection and
soon that one will begin to catch glimpses of the 'Godness within'.
As for the Soul, it’s a
matter of patiently waiting for the human partner to allow God Direction in its life....
patiently waiting for the human to
willingly engage in the human/Soul Partnership....which means the human having
to give up autonomy of its life....it means the individual must bow the
knee....and begin to pay attention to the Small, Still Voice within...responding to the Soul Voice
calling out, trying to make it's Partner aware of the
Soul’s Desire to share in the Journey.
And perhaps, the
Connection finally happens when, one day, the human begins to sense and then experiences the Love and
Encouragement of the Christed Soul. And chooses to open Channels of Communication
to allow the human/Soul Partnership to become a Reality.
Those Channels of
Communication must be opened if'
God' is to have any say on Earth.
And the human/Soul Partnership must become a Reality,
because
IT IS
that Channel of Communication.
As we watch the people of the Planet, thrashing around, trashing each other.... growing less and less peaceful in many
areas, the state and the fate of the embodied Soul and the Planet, itself, depends on
OUR KNOWING THAT WE ARE SACRED LIFE
WITH A SACRED RESPONSIBILITY.
