MYSTERIES
In a world filled with so many mysteries I have found that the greatest mystery of all is that there is anything!

I'm Back
Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. Our computer was hit by the thunderstorm last friday and fried our ethernet port. Just got it repaired today. Sure hope all of you fine folks are doing really great and enjoying the summer.
Hmmmmmmmmmm maybe the devil caused the lightening to strike my puter. Or maybe it was God cause Ive been accused of writing heresay on here. Nah just a stroke of bad luck I guess!!!

LISTENING TO GOD
"The voice of God utters Itself, a Voice not in the blustering whirlwinds, nor in the awesome rumblings of the volcano, but a Voice so still that only in the Silence can it be heard, and there It thunders."

I AM THAT WHICH I AM
The following is excerpted from Living the Science of Mind, published by DeVorss & Company.
This should show you what "GOD" I believe in. And again I remind you--these are my beliefs and I am not trying to teach or preach to anyone. Just sharing for those who may be interested.
"I Am that which I Am. I Am the Eternal Presence of your own self. Thus there is no mediator between you and Myself but your own thought.
This I Am has been revealed to you in innumerable ways through the inspired writings of the ages. Each inspiration has been a proclamation that I Am is in the midst of you. I Am the writer, the inspirer, and the thing written about. I Am the Creator of history,and the One who experiences it. I Am its record and its interpretation. Everything which has ever transpired has but symbolized My Divine Presence at the center of all.
I Am within you is the only Presence there is. I create innumerable centers of My Consciousness personified as people, yet I Am is the thread of a Unity running through all, binding all back to Myself. Because I am a perfect Oneness, all of Me exists everywhere.Wherever you recognize Me, there I Am. And whether or not you recognize Me I am still there. This Divine Visitor, which is your True Self and which is That Which I AM, is both the one who stands at the door and knocks and the One whho opens the door.
It is teh glory of this recognization which has given to the enlightened true mastership. Do not look for masters outside of Me, or mediators between yourself and Myself. There is but One Self who needs no mediator. This Self is immediate, present, and available.
Any thought or belief which would seek to seperate That which I Am from that which you are would be an illusion, no matter how lofty its concept or how sacred its purpose. For it would seek to deny the ever-present I Am, the completeness of My Perfection, the God within you, the inspired thought back of your act.
Your True Self constitutes the only mediator between the visible and the Invisible. I Am that Self. Be still and know that you are one with Me, and My Being in you is your life. It is also your body, mind, and spirit; That which you have so ardently sought has never been separated from you for one moment. My desire within you to be expressed has been the motivating Power impelling and compelling you evermore to reach out, on, and up.
I Am the Christ dwelling at the center of every soul; human, yet Divine; Infinite, yet flowing through that which is apparently finite; unmanifest, yet forever manifesting; birthless and deathless, yet forever being born; timeless, I Am forever creating time. And you, the expression of Myself, appear to be separated from Me merely because you are a unique manifestation of Myself. For I Am that which you are and which all people are. I Am in all and I Am all.
When the recognition comes within you of this I Am That Which I Am, you will have discovered your true Savior, your true Sonship. and you will know that this Sonship is a prrojection of Myself, forever different from any other projection, immortal, yet forever expanding.
Here you find the True Ideal, the Cosmic Pattern, the Eternal Friendship of the soul to itself, the God who is personified, the Person who is God-in-man. And how great is this Divine riddle! How inscrutable is the Sphinx! Men have sought to solve this mystery---how can Unity and multiplicity exist together without division?
But now you have solved this mystery. You have compelled the Sphinx to answer her own question; she no longer devours you but, like circumstance, must bow to that Divinity within you, like all crated things, must acknowledge the supermacy of That Which I Am within you.
This mystery of unity and multiplicity without division I have proclaimed through the ages, but only the enlightened have understood My meaning; the unenlightened have not realized that those who did understand Me were even aas they. They believed them to be great prophets, great mediators governed by invisible masters, controlled by those whom they called saints.
But since I create both saint and sinner, know neither big nor little, good nor bad, and being ageless, since I create all ages, I Am that which reveals, and that which is revealed. And the stone which the builders rejected has overcome the chief stone of the corner. The vulgar did not know, and even the high priests failed to recognize, that the Ark of My Covenant was in the sanctuary of their own souls; that the Scroll of Life concealed in this Ark had inscribed on it merely the words I AM.

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL
I know I shouldnt have to explain myself or my beliefs but since I have been talking with L M about some of my previous posts I feel the need to try and clarify who I am and what Im trying to do here on this blog.L M after reading some of my posts took it that I was saying I was God the Absolute Power and that I was spreading heresy. In his or her latest reply they said i was a "toothless" teacher who wass not worthy of teaching anyone anything. Now all that doesnt bother me in the least(the attack on my beliefs and my way of life) because I am confident and happy with the person I have become over the many years of living. However L M's observations did get me to thinking that maybe I havent made myself clear.But forgive me please if I have left the impression that I think too highly of myself.That is just not true. I consider myself a kindred spirit expressing as a human being right along with the rest of the world. I am equal to all but not any better than anyone.And when I speak of my beliefs I am only expressing my "TRUTH". I am not trying to convince anyone of anything except maybe to try and live a life where you treat everyone kindly. As far as anyone else's beliefs I say if you are satisified with them then you are absolute right in your thinking. I may not totally agree with all you do but that doesnt make my beliefs right and yours wrong or vice versa.I started this blog in hopes of making new friends who are on their own spiritual path and I have always welcomed all to write and share whatever they felt.I am no teacher no more than you are. But I do suppose we are all students and teachers at the same time.I do hope any of you who read my blog can understand where I am coming from and just accept me as a peer and fellow traveler on this wonderful path of human enlightenment.And please if you ever get the feeling that I am getting too "FULL" of myself as L M once said please let me know so I can see where Im at. My sincereest wish and prayer for all of you is that you will be blessed with much love joy and peace in your life now and always. May God bless!

A MYSTICAL MARRIAGE
Todays entry is a combination from the works of Thomas Troward from which comes the following quote: "This realization of the true relation between the originating Spirit and the individual mind is what is esoterically spoken of as teh mystical marriage......."
And from the Science of Mind Textbook comes this quote: God is always God.
And from the Science of Mind magazine the following affirmation is this: I accept my spiritual accountability, realizing there is no seperation between God and me. No one can find God or accept the unifying presence and power for me. In this awareness, I joyously live now.
