All that I have been seeking, I am. How could I be the Child of God and be less than a perfect child? Could the Child of God have lacked anything? What was all my striving and seeking, but the belief that I was not the Child of God. And so not being the Child of God in my consciousness, I went out to secure those things which the Child of God already was born with; already has. I merely denied my inheritance. I denied my identity. I and three billion others.

All matter vibrates, and all motion in matter is caused by your reaction to those vibrations. Now when you look at an object, you think it has color, but it has no color whatsoever. Your reaction to its vibrations give it its color. Your reactions to its vibrations give it its length, its depth, and its width. The qualities of matter are your reaction to the vibrations of that matter and those vibrations are electrical impulses.

Having been slain for the Word means that in their human-hood, they learned to align themselves with the Will of the Father, dying to personal self; that’s how they were slain. Dying to personal will. Dying to personal ambition. Dying to personal desire. Becoming one with the Will of the Father, they were slain. They entered the state of transition. They died to the false sense of self and were born of the Spirit and made their transition walking through the experience of death without being touched.
…
Always remember then that the killing and the slaying is a symbolic term for the dying daily to personal will, personal sense of self, a separated me who walks the earth separate and apart from a separated someone else. All of us walking apart from a God. And that sense of separation from each other and from God, only begins to stop as we learn to become one Will, one will with the Father’s perfect Will.

Deny thy self, pick up thy cross, cross out that which is not of God and follow Me. And John is doing exactly that. His weeping is finished. He has been told no longer to undo, he has undone all the human selfhood of his past. He is now about to be made a child of the resurrection.

Grace does the work for you. Grace moves you. Grace thinks you. Grace activates you. Grace opens the door for you, only when you have willingly learned, devotedly, to divest yourself of the personal, the will of the human being – you have ‘denied thy self,’ ‘taken up thy cross,’ and you are following Christ within.

Slowly the Word lifts us out of human thought, out of human planning, out of human differences, and we find an invisible power drawing us into oneness with the Christ of our own being.

There have been many times when we have felt frustrated by our progress, by our lack of understanding, by seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and yet everyone of these has been important. You will never know how much they were needed until, because of these frustrations, you dig deeper and climb higher. And then discover that your normal human inertia would have prevented you from going as high as you’re going to go, if you had not had this parade of problems and frustrations. But in the moment of self anger, when you rise above your own limited human capacities, you discover a new depth of your Self. And suddenly you see: this that I couldn’t do yesterday, I can do today. But I was blind before. Now one of those revelations is the one you heard today, which is one of the most difficult to accept, and that is: there is no Life in form. There is no Life in form. You’re going to have a tough time with it, but when you meditate upon it and let the Father within explain it to you, ultimately the shallow human concept will break open, and you will understand what I cannot put into words. There is no Life in form.

… There is a place when you cut all ties, walking out on the waters of Spirit, and you prove that you are a priest of God. You wear that Sardis stone in the front row of your breastplate, and you say, “Father, thy will be done.45 I am dead to self-will. I am dead to personal desire. I am dead to seeking and striving and struggling. I am dead to passion. I am dead to sense desire. I am dead to all that which is not the Christ.” And only then, in the deadness to that which is not Christ, are we alive in Christ. Only then are we the ‘pure at heart,’46 and then the Spiritual Law of Christ functions in Its Self, which we are – without second self, without barriers, without mental interference, without the false world of the senses claiming us as an inhabitant. This is the overcoming. In this overcoming you become willing to completely forget your past – you never had one. Joel puts it in a joking fashion. He says, “For this moment let us accept that you are the only person in the world. There is no other than you.” What he means is that is the truth; there is no other. And you may do it for a moment and find that you can do it for two, or ten, or twenty moments because, ultimately, you are going to see that there is only one Infinite Self and that means there is no other Self than you in this universe. And everywhere you go you are looking at your Invisible Self coming at you.

You are sleepwalking and letting the dream of that sleepwalking seem real to you – denying what you are. You don’t have to overcome the problem. You have to know that world thought is knocking at your door and you have let it walk in. That is all that is happening to you when you have a problem – regardless of its name or its nature.

“I do not walk on a physical earth. I do not live in a physical form. I am not confined to the world concept of time and space. I am free. I am that Self which is limitless, that lives only in the infinite universe as the Infinite expressing. I am not mortal. I am not physical. I am Spirit Itself, and at this moment I am being what I am. ‘I am launching out into the deep,’ into the Infinite. I am accepting identity as Infinite being – not just Spirit, but I am accepting that what Spirit is, I am and, therefore, I am infinite Spirit. And now I am resting in my infinite, spiritual Self as pure Consciousness. I have nothing to do with a physical universe.” That is your meditation. That is your vacation from the human mind. That is your momentary breaking of the hypnosis and awakening from the sleep. Just to be yourself for a moment or two and to find from it the strange and glorious quickening of the Spirit for you are multiplying the Father within yourself. As long as you think of a room, persons, place, you have not ‘launched out into the deep.’ But if you can glimpse the infinity of being without physical walls, without any confining space or time, you are free for that moment of universal mind. You have broken through. You are walking in the Kingdom of heaven on earth, and your reward is great, and quick.
