3 Months Enriching and Lifting Conscious Awareness
WEEK 9
"THE FIELDS ARE ALREADY WHITE FOR HARVEST"
We now delve deeper still into our second truth statement, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" by opening consciousness to one of the greatest lessons ever given mankind (the 3-dimensional state, or degree, of consciousness named 'material, physical, earthly').
We find ourselves 2000 years ago (which is taking place in your consciousness right now, for there is only Now) in the city of Samaria watching the Master talking with the woman by the well:
It was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink," for His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?"
You see Jesus was not talking of the material type of water (nor was he ever speaking of the 'material type' of anything). He was speaking of the True Water: Spirit and Truth. So we hear him answering her:
"Whoever drinks of this water (material type water) will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."
By now Jesus had been teaching all morning and His disciples had returned with food and urged him to eat.
He lovingly turned to His friends. "I have food to eat of which you do not know," he told them. After all the time they'd been with him they still had not come to understood the difference between the illusory sense of Spirit named matter (in this instance, material food) and Spirit Itself being the one and only True Food.
Yes, "I have food to eat of which you do not know." My food is Spirit being felt welling up within me. That is the one and only True Food, and it LITERALLY feeds me at any degree of consciousness I may be living at this moment. It may feed me without the appearance of any food 'agency' (a 3-dimensional appearance of food) or it MAY WELL or USUALLY DOES appear 3-dimensionally so naturally that the unaware would say that 'nothing unusual is happening' but a good and perfect sufficiency of food always being available, or it can appear miraculously out of the 'clear blue sky' if there were no 'natural' means for its presence. But appear it will and does - infallibly - WHEN we understand the True Food that is Spirit and Truth and WHEN we rely on IT ALONE.
To illustrate this truth further for His friends, he went on to explain, "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" (Bible: John 4:31-35)
Jesus is telling us not to think that there is a WAIT for Spirit, which is All. Spirit is here and now no matter how It is appearing to the senses.
Don't look 'out there' and think that what you observe has any reality or power or season or evolutionary process to it.
What it truly is - what ALL truly is - is Spirit and Truth, which is ALREADY AND ALWAYS WHOLE, COMPLETE, MANIFEST, PERFECT, HERE AND NOW.
Hence, "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? - do you not say (because you're looking 'out there' and judging what APPEARS TO BE) that there is a delay, a season or process or method to wait for BEFORE you can experience your fulfillment?
"Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" - I say to you, Spirit and Truth are the only Reality no matter what the 3-dimensional appearance seems to suggest. Therefore look to Spirit and Truth - "look up" - for THEN you will discover that the fields (all material appearance) is already white for harvest... already ALL FULFILLING FORM fully manifest, visible and tangible.
STOP HERE FOR FIVE DAYS: CONTEMPLATE THESE THREE EXTRAORDINARY TRUTH STATEMENTS BEFORE PART 2 THIS WEEK
We are to take 5 days this week before Part 2 of this week's Message to contemplate these three master-truths of Jesus:
1, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
2, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
and,
3, "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!"
Bear in mind always, Jesus told us, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (he told this to the woman of Samaria in explaining the nature of the True Water, the True All.)
Therefore - ALWAYS - the 'food' he speaks of, the 'flesh', the 'bread', the 'wine', the 'life', the 'currency' is Spirit and Truth. THAT is the Real Presence, the Real Substance, the Real Body, the Real Form, the Real Food, the Real Amount, the ONLY Only, the ONE even... and hear this well... even though It appears to be material or physical form.
Contemplate this now, gently, deeply, richly. Take these incredible truths deeper into your consciousness than ever before! Remember: DEPTH is the key to spiritual living, spiritual 'demonstration'.
Integrate your contemplation with SILENT LISTENING or ATTENTIVENESS for Truth Itself to reveal a greater sense of these truths as your consciousness.
Then watch what happens during these 5 days. If you really devote yourself to this contemplation, watch the miracle that takes place. Watch what reveals Itself in and as and to your tangible experience.
Always remember that Heaven is right here AS your very Consciousness. There is no searching, no delay. There is JUST the 'need' to RELEASE that which Already Is.
The whole of infinity is contained in and as your consciousness, and Its only purpose is to BE THE FULLNESS OF ITSELF AS YOU, which it ALREADY IS!
Think about it. Your FULLNESS OF INFINITY is ALREADY FULLY WHAT YOU ARE AND HAVE. But it is the REALIZATION of this Great Truth, and then the LIVING IT, the TRUE AND LIVING RELIANCE ON IT ALONE that 'releases' that infinity... which means 'makes it visible and tangible' to the 3-dimensional sense.
Ponder, ponder, and ponder more, and deeper, all day and night! Every MINUTE of further pondering, contemplating, chewing on, and then SILENCE to allow It to 'spring forth as living waters' (living - which means tangible - fulfillment deepens conscious awareness, conscious reality of Truth and reveals more of It in and as your experience.
Every minute!
Think about that.
See you for Part 2 Thursday.
With my deepest Love and Gratitude,
Paul
