3 Months Enriching and Lifting Conscious Awareness
WEEK 11
THE THIRD TRUTH
We have come a long way in our first 10 weeks. If you have been seriously working with pondering each Week's truth statements, contemplating their profound meaning - ever deeper and more dimensionally, with ever greater texture and flavor (which never ceases from becoming MORE and FRESH - the daily "fresh manna") - your consciousness is already much lifted, nourished and enriched WITH GREATER HARMONY EVIDENT in most or at least some of your world.
THIS IS THE LITMUS TEST. Always TANGIBLE EVIDENCE is the test we give ourselves. If there is no greater tangible harmony in our experience THERE IS NO GREATER SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS, or, as yet, insufficient spiritualization of consciousness to evidence Itself as what we name 'the fruits' - the 'tangible and material' good of our life experience.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
God is One - One Consciousness, One Being, One Body, One Place, One Amount, One Condition, One Happening (Expression; Activity), One World, One Now.
There is never 'inner' enriched consciousness without 'outer' tangible evidence. How could ONENESS consist of 'two' states of consciousness, 'two' states of embodiment, 'two' states of manifestation, 'two' states of tangibility, 'two' states of visibility - one part 'unembodied, unmanifest, intangible and invisible' to human sense with another part 'embodied, manifest, tangible and visible'?
What would have 'happened' to prompt and cause the change when GOD IS ALL, ONE, COMPLETE, WHOLE, OMNIPRESENCE AND OMNIPRESENT? "The place whereon you stand (your consciousness) is Holy (Whole; Omnipresent) ground?"
Remember: "The earth (consciousness) is the Lord's and the fullness (completeness, wholeness, oneness) thereof."
God is ALREADY COMPLETE, ONE, MANIFEST, TANGIBLE, VISIBLE.
Or put it like this: THERE IS ONLY ONE STATE OF BEING: WHOLE.
AWARENESS 'makes' Wholeness visible and tangible. Aspects of the kingdom do not 'become' manifest, visible and tangible, AWARENESS makes them so; AWARENESS makes That which Already Is manifest, visible and tangible TO YOUR SENSE AND MINE.
The lifting and enriching of consciousness increases spiritual AWARENESS, and as every degree of increased spiritual awareness happens as your consciousness THERE THE EVIDENCE IS because ALL IS ONE not 'two' - the 'inner' is the 'outer' and the 'outer' is the 'inner'.
MY ADVICE IF YOU ARE NOT YET WITNESSING GREATER HARMONY IN YOUR WORLD
Go back and work through Week 1-10 of this Message. EVERYTHING you need to tangibly lift and enrich consciousness - with FRUITS EVIDENT - is contained in these wonderful messages from on High.
Take each Week DEEPER into your consciousness. Live with it MORE FULLY, more CONSISTENTLY. Fall in love with it; take it everywhere with you. Ponder the miracle of Life, the miracle that is You in Truth, here, now, omnipresent.
Realize the literal ONENESS of Truth - the literal ONENESS of the 'inner' being the 'outer' and the 'outer' being the 'inner' - rather than continuing to entertain and believe the false idea of a God of Spirit and a man of materiality.
No, no! There is JUST GOD BEING ALL, therefore there is JUST GOD BEING ITSELF AS YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE WORLD EXPERIENCE which means there is JUST SPIRIT AND TRUTH BEING ALL which APPEARS TO BE - as and through the conditioned, conceptual mind we name 'human' - material, physical, earthly.
Forget appearance once and for all. Realize ALL IS GOD - SPIRIT AND TRUTH. All, all, ALL!!! without exception AND without any mental hocus pocus by you or me OR by Gautama or Jesus or any other of the illumined Masters.
GOD IS, ALREADY. GOD IS ONE and ONENESS. Therefore as THAT TRUTH IS REALIZED by a greater degree as individual you and me IT IS IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT as good in life.
Use this as the one and only 'measure' of your progress. "By their fruits you shall know them." Of course that is true in Oneness. It could be no other way.
Therefore revisit Week' 1-10 - and keep working with them for as long as it takes to start witnessing the fruits of your labors. It won't be long, my friend, as you keep working, keep pondering, keep knowing the truth revealed here.
And now - if you are ready - let's move on.
OUR THIRD TRUTH STATEMENT
All the work until this point at which we are now ready to witness "The Lord build the house" - Truth BE the Fullness of our consciousness - has been PREPARATION for The Experience - The tangible Experience of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, the Miracle we've been searching for and waiting for - NOW HAPPENING IN, AND AS, AND THROUGHOUT OUR EXPERIENCE.
All the 'work' of pondering, contemplating, chewing on, living with truth in our minds morning, noon and night - thinking about truth, fertilizing our consciousness in this way, nurturing, developing, 'spiritualizing' our consciousness - is not the Experience Itself but the PREPARATION for the The Experience; the making-ready of consciousness so that OUT OF, AND FROM, AND AS that prepared, lifted, purified consciousness Truth is now able to spring forth into tangibility AS THE UNIVERSE OF YOU.
Without this preparation no truth can be evident.
There is no way an 'unprepared' consciousness can evidence (be the environment of) truth anymore than rocky ground can evidence (be the environment of) an orchard, or dark can evidence light.
There has to be the ENVIRONMENT OF TRUTH - a spiritual consciousness (a consciousness full of SPIRITUAL AWARENESS rather than material, physical, earthly awareness) - for there to be Truth evident.
We can describe it like this: there has to be a CLEAN WINDOW for there to be sunshine in our home. If the window is blackened there is not the 'environment' for sunshine to be evident; if the window is grimy then only a little sunshine can be evident.
Indeed there has to be a clean consciousness - a pure, clear consciousness - 'pure' and 'clear' meaning SPIRITUALIZED; a consciousness thinking about, aware of, realizing that ALL IS GOD, SPIRIT AND TRUTH - for there to be Truth evident AS THAT CONSCIOUSNESS - that 'you' and that 'me'.
If there is not the ACTUAL, TANGIBLE EXPERIENCE OF GOD, TRUTH, SPIRIT, HAPPENING AS YOUR INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE (CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE) THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF TRUTH AS YOUR UNIVERSE.
And so we arrive at the divine experience of TRUTH ITSELF happening as our Experience as 'we' are now still and quiet - a silent, attentive state of being - WITNESS to THAT WHICH IS happening AS ITSELF as us.
This is what the Psalmist describes (and is out third truth statement):
"Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." Psalm 127:1
'House' is 'consciousness'. Unless TRUTH ITSELF is consciously experienced as happening as individual consciousness ("Unless the Lord builds the house") then NO TRUTH IS TANGIBLY EVIDENT AS YOUR OR MY EXPERIENCE.
All the thinking in eternity cannot evidence ONE BRICK of your True House - your True You; True Universe. All the thinking you can ever do cannot evidence a single breath of Truth.
And don't make the mistake of assuming that truth thinking CAN evidence Truth whereas non-truth thinking cannot; NO THINKING - truthful or non-truthful - can evidence a single FIBER of Truth. It is just that THINKING OF TRUTH ('spiritualizing' consciousness) - all the pondering and living with truth filling our minds morning, noon and night, lifting consciousness into being aware of SPIRIT AND TRUTH rather than earth and matter - PREPARES CONSCIOUSNESS so that THE TRUTH THAT ALWAYS IS (the Finished Kingdom omnipresent) can now be EVIDENT as and through the purified environment of your consciousness and mine.
ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE GOD
You cannot evidence God. ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE GOD as your awareness and mine.
Think how ludicrous it would be if 'we' could evidence God! That would make us greater than God. That would give us a power that God does not have. That would make us necessary assistants in the Kingdom of Heaven.
How ludicrous a proposition! Yet this is what millions of 'spiritual students' are doing 24 hours a day - trying to 'get God' to fulfill THEIR idea of good mind, body and world; visualizing, praying for, meditating for, affirming, even being silent for THEIR IDEA OF FULFILLMENT.
Realize once and for all:
THINKING HAS NO POWER WHATSOEVER...
ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE ITSELF. Get this into your consciousness forever. Repeat it with me now until it takes good, firm root in your consciousness:
ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE ITSELF...
ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE ITSELF...
ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE ITSELF...
ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE ITSELF...
ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE ITSELF...
Therefore 'you' and 'I' have to be STILL and SILENT and ATTENTIVE to GOD HAPPENING AS THE DEEP WITHINNESS, THE PURE TRUTH OF CONSCIOUSNESS - your very consciousness and mine because consciousness is ONE, INDIVISIBLE, fully embodied and complete AS ALL.
Only when we have sufficiently nurtured, fertilized, lifted the mind with the truth that GOD IS INFINITE THEREFORE ALL therefore nothing 'else' is true, nothing 'else' is real, nothing' else' has power or substance or body or form or function or activity or amount or condition or place (in the way we have done these past 10 weeks) is consciousness able to be still and quiet, peaceful, sufficiently unworried, fearless, open and attentive to THAT WHICH IS.
TRUTH IS HAPPENING AS YOU 24 HOURS A DAY BUT ARE 'YOU' THERE?
Indeed, God is happening as Itself as You 24 hours a day. Of course that is true! ONLY GOD IS and GOD IS ALWAYS WHOLE, COMPLETE, 'FULLY HAPPENING', FULLY PRESENT, FINISHED AS THE FULLNESS OF ITSELF AS YOU, ME AND ALL.
But are YOU CONSCIOUSLY AWARE OF THAT 'HAPPENING' happening as You? No! You are mostly aware of everything BUT TRUTH! You are mostly aware of what APPEARS TO BE - the mental, material, physical, earthly way the Kingdom APPEARS TO BE to the 'human' 3-dimensional mind.
But now - with consciousness prepared and ready - you can be still and silent, receptive and expectant of the experience of THAT WHICH IS... THE HAPPENING OF GOD HAPPENING AS ITSELF AS YOU, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS - the "Lord building your house".
THIS is the miracle of Truth EXPERIENCED.
Nothing else but THIS is the miracle of Truth... That which you CONSCIOUSLY EXPERIENCE AS HAPPENING AS YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS with no effort of yours, no thinking it so - just a still and silent openness and receptivity to THAT WHICH IS FOREVER HAPPENING AS YOUR TRUTH, now ACTUALLY FELT as a welling up of peace or harmony or joy or a sense of release or lightness or warmth or freedom from all burden, all responsibility, all effort.
THAT is the Miracle of You FELT, EXPERIENCED, TANGIBLY REALIZED the ONENESS OF WHICH bears "rich fruit" as harmony, peace, abundance and freedom of ALL EXPERIENCE, all being One, the 'inner' being the 'outer' and the 'outer' being the 'inner'.
OUR WORK THIS ELEVENTH WEEK
Realize ONLY GOD CAN EVIDENCE GOD.
Therefore, CONTINUE PONDERING TRUTH - we never really stop consciously realizing the presence and wholeness of Truth 24 hours a day - but NOW REST MORE, BE SILENT MORE, LISTEN MORE TO YOUR DEEP WITHINNESS, BE EVERMORE ATTENTIVE TO THE DEPTH OF CONSCIOUSNESS BEING THE FULFILLMENT OF ITSELF INDIVIDUALLY AND UNIQUELY AS YOU.
Be still, silent, attentive to, and expectant of, "The Lord building your house", Truth BEING your consciousness, Consciousness BEING consciousness, you. If you do not, then even all the truth pondering in the universe will be "in vain". You and I cannot build our truth house; ONLY GOD IS, THEREFORE ONLY GOD IS THE HOUSE; ONLY GOD EVIDENCES ITSELF (builds - reveals - Its House, Its Finished House as the unconditional, omnipresent and irrepressible Good of You, Your World and every detail of It).
The fields of your universe are rich with heavenly fruit when the Lord builds the house but barren when thought attempts to build it.
Indeed: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof," and, "Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain."
With My Love and Joy of Oneness,
Paul
