See Spirit spiritually -rjs

Robin Starbuck

WHEN WE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT SPIRIT, we need to be aware that it’s a whole ‘nother realm. We run into so much trouble trying to blend the two realms, like mixing oil and water or comparing apples with oranges.

The Spiritual realm is not one millimeter or one nanosecond away: it’s right here! But here’s the kicker – it’s here INSTEAD. That is unbelievably wonderful news and here’s why: it is the HEALING of all the woes of the flesh – every last one of them! How’s that?

What is true in the Spirit oftentimes isn’t true in the flesh, and vice versa. Jesus lived in the flesh – or so it seemed – but saw right through the flesh all the time. When we “see” a body healed and whole the body obeys. When we see a world healed and whole it obeys. You really can’t prove me wrong coz you’d first have to “see” the healing.

So try it, I dare you! It gets easier and easier with practice.

What if? -rjs

WHAT IF?
What if all that stuff that keeps going on in your head were not true at all? What if it never happened? What if all the people that you think about all the time were never born into a material body? What if you had never been born into a material body? What then? What is going on? Are you capable now of seeking the answers to these questions and accepting the answers as your real life, never having failed in any way? Isn’t it about time that you let all the junk go? If you say God is your mind what in the world are you saying? What does it mean? The main problem that mankind has with regard to awakening to spiritual living is that they always always always want to think everything through materially rather than make the change to thinking spiritually. You need to start with spirit stay with Spirit conclude with spirit and never look back!

Cease naming! -RAdams

Adams, Robert

We give everything a name, that’s the problem. We say this is cancer, this is poverty, this is an earthquake, this is a million dollars, this is a new home, this is a new car, this is a war, this is a dog, this is a cat. We have names for everything. What if we forgot about those names, and we stopped seeing things as something? What if we just observed things, watched things without giving them a name, without coming to a conclusion? What do you think would happen? You would transcend everything. Whatever you’re no longer attached to, gives way. Whatever you’re no longer holding on to, no longer holds on to you. And as you let go of your opinions toward person, place and things, you find that you’re growing, you’re evolving. You’re beginning to become something that is ineffable, something that cannot be explained, something that’s so wonderful, you never dreamed that something like this existed. Yet it does.

Qualities of God are yours -JSG

Joel Solomon Goldsmith

Spiritual sonship is your true identity, Spiritual sonship with all the fullness of its meaning is your true identity. In spite of any appearances that may now engulf you, you must know the truth of your relationship to God. You must know the truth of your true identity as God manifest, God revealed, God individualized, God expressed. That is your true identity. The qualities of God, therefore, are the qualities of your individual being.

Joel Goldsmith, Chapter 10, ‘Start the Flow to God’, from SHOWING FORTH THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

Same beliefs years later? -rjs

IS YOUR ENTIRE BELIEF SYSTEM pretty much the same now as it was five years ago?
And do you really think that’s a good thing?
Don’t you know the Holy Spirit has been imparting tons of fresh revelation?
Can’t you see there are things He can tell us now that He couldn’t tell Peter, James and John?
God never intended for the Bible to become itself a religion.
Hey, He never intended for religion to become a religion.
