Spiritual consciousness
SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Every single problem on earth can be solved with spiritual consciousness. But this God-consciousness needs to be developed through taking no thought for the very issues that vex humankind. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS: we need to do our level best to lay it aside for spiritual consciousness, knowing that the two, having nothing in common, are constantly at war with one another.
We must take a stand and shun all that would pull us away from our conscious awareness of God’s all-power.
Now here’s the kicker! STOP AT ONCE THINKING IN TERMS OF OPPOSITES: disease & health, lack & supply, abuse & care. A split focus is devastating to the attaining and maintaining of spiritual consciousness. That’s why we look away from so-called human solutions in our endeavor to shore up our concentration on God alone.
Jesus knew, as he trod the globe, that people were seeing false appearances everywhere and he saw right through them! We need to do likewise.
There are NO MAGIC WORDS having power all their own!! One needs the conscious awareness behind the words in order to even be in contact with God. Such awareness comes from God’s grace and generally entails much study and prayerful application of the principles spelled out.

Runta
RUNTA
My brother had 5 cats, one of which produced a litter of kittens. All the babies were doing fine save one which he explained was the runt of the litter, hence the name “Runta”. He explained that mama had abandoned her because she was so weak and tiny.
This story doesn’t have an entirely happy ending but a few precious moments.
I took Runta to my apartment, kept her in a little bed that I fashioned and placed under the nice warm lamp that I was using to do my college homework. I fed her as best I could with an eyedropper and petted her very gently with one finger.
Runta purred!!!
I wish that were the end of the story but the poor little thing died a few days later.
I can still hear and feel her purring.
To use or not to use CAPS
I EARNESTLY MAINTAIN that whereas a good book affords the reader an ample number of pages – even chapters – to develop the point that is on a writer’s heart and there would be no need for occasional introductory CAPITAL LETTERS, in a relatively and mercifully brief social media post, they can serve a most effective purpose. They can inform the reader that the REALLY URGENT point is here (not 70-80 pages to come)!
I tend to shy away from posts written in all caps because it defeats the whole purpose of using them for emphasis but being super-sensitive to the point of being offended by any use of capital letters for the sake of brevity ought to be re-examined.
I hold a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in English and I can tell you that placing an *asterisk before a word does not tell billions of prospective readers that this is the CRITICAL PART that the author is leading up to.
Debating Scriptures
I HATE DEBATING THEOLOGY – cherry picking scriptures to hurl at one another – so much that I would just delete comments, posts or people that instigate strife. If a person cannot read the Bible, close it, and TAKE INSPIRATION DIRECTLY FROM GOD but religiously, fearfully, and even hatefully cling to every word, then I’d say said person doesn’t know how to read the Bible.
More healing
MORE HEALING
Weird stuff going on here! This morning my eyes were excruciatingly itchy – unbelievably itchy!! I was reminded of an incident many years ago when one eye was so itchy and I rubbed it so hard that my boyfriend had to drive me to the hospital for emergency treatment. I had to wear an eye patch for several loooong days! Ugh!!
But, no problem, I’ll just put on some antihistamine eye drops … No, stop!! But Papa they’re just over-the-counter … No! I want you to apply your healing principles. But they’re sooo itchy… No! You can do it!
So I said one sentence to negate the claim: “No!!! – you can’t be itchy because God can’t have itchy eyes!! Then about 10-20 statements of AFFIRMATION, declaring that God is all power and present everywhere! He created me and my eyes out of the selfsame substance that He consists of. Jesus never missed – He saw only spiritual reality where humans see a lie. I got so involved in my affirmations of Truth that I didn’t even realize that all the itchiness had entirely disappeared. 3-4 hours later, I felt a little bit itchy again, so I said more sternly than ever, “No!” As I began to repeat my healing affirmations, it immediately disappeared – this time permanently! Praise God, praise God, praise God!!!
Experimental healing
Would you like to try a very basic level healing experiment with me right now? If so, let’s try this: choose some small problem that has been bothering you but you’ve managed to ignore. Have you got it?
Good. Now I’m going to ask you to put it so far out of your conscious awareness that we’re not going to discuss it at all. No, it’s not the pink elephant game – it’s not a game at all. The issue could be a specific mental or physical anguish. Let’s give it a general name so we’re all on the same page. Let’s call it recurring headaches (This has never been my particular case: I’m just keeping it general for us now.).
Now what we’re going to want to do is talk in great detail about what IS true. For this we will need to see through false appearances right straight to the reality that Jesus “saw” which healed every single time. He saw everyone as they really are – perfect! Right where the headache seemed to be Jesus saw God’s own child, unencumbered and free!
Actually I believe it’s safe to say it was never a two-step process with Jesus (believing the lie and then un-believing it); He simply SAW THROUGH the seeming and beheld the person healed.
The only thing that remains for us is to be consistent, tenacious and strong. Whenever the slightest thought or remembrance surfaces, take charge for dear life!
See yourself as God created you: perfect, whole, happy and COMPLETELY FREE. Now do it again and again and again. DO NOT GO BACK – EVER !!!! Walk in freedom from now on. This is your eternal life.
