“..How long does it take a student of the Infinite Way to attain spiritual consciousness? I can give you half of the answer. A student cannot even begin to attain that consciousness until his goal is no longer that of meeting his personal problems of health, supply, or happiness. He must no longer be preoccupied with personal gain. The search for God-awareness must become the primary motive of study. When that is true, then the spiritual student is halfway ‘home.’ He must decide that the attainment of Christ-consciousness is his only goal and that having help for his other problems is of secondary importance. I am not saying that anyone should neglect human situations or obligations, but these should be secondary. It then might not take a student too long.”
“Attaining that mind “which was also in Christ Jesus” should be the primary purpose in life. It is an interesting thing for me to watch this work and see some students who are attaining it beautifully, and then watch those who are seeking a healing for a minor physical claim and complaining because they have not yet attained heaven. In other words, such students are still living for themselves and are making themselves the goal rather than having as their goal the attaining of heaven.”
“Our concern must be to lift the world into the higher dimension of consciousness where all the “things” of the world are added. ‘I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.’ Let us hurry about this business of being lifted up, so we can lift others into the higher consciousness. Then all problems will solve themselves.”

DON’T JUDGE WHAT YOU SEE – JUST SEE !!

DON’T JUDGE WHAT YOU SEE – JUST SEE !!

Well-meaning people are forever complaining that they see w-a-a-ay too much of their selves and that a goodly part of what they see fails to meet with their own approval! It would be sad if it weren’t so darned funny!

And yes we’re talking, not about a spare tire around the belly, but rather a spare tire around the brain. They want to trim down the excess flab, but alas the titillating mind-pictures are loathe to give up the ghost!

That’s all your unwanted thoughts are: ghosts. You can liken them to images dancing across your television screen, as Rupert Spira does when he counsels his inquirers:

“The fact that you see this tsunami of “me-ness” means that you are already, at least to a large extent, free of it. Likewise, the fact that you say “I see myself judging….” means that you already standing as the one who sees rather than the one who judges. It is important that the one that sees the judging doesn’t start judging what it sees, otherwise it ceases being a seer and becomes a judger. So see this tsunami of ‘me-ness’ like you see a tsunami on the TV – with interest but uninvolved.”

Tsunami of “Me-ness”

Now, holding your remote control in your hand with your index finger at the ready, click “OFF” (mentally will be just fine!). You see? There was no discussion, no evaluation, no agonizing, just “click” and all the chatter, all the images, all the fussing: gone, gone and gone!

Were you a nice person, a not-nice person, a winner, a loser, or any of the multifarious other labels you’re so ready to slap on yourself? No! None of these. You are and forever have been infinite consciousness. Turn off the tv screen in your mind and you’ll be instantaneously aware of it!

Imagine 100 yrs from now, reconsidering

Levels

Have you ever imagined this world of ours, say 100, years from now, especially re. our feeble attempts to spell out Enlightenment for all to partake as a matter of course?

Naturally, it’ll be written that by some strange miracle, throughout all time, only one lone person, Robin Starbuck, got it completely right.

Lol!

Back to reality…. I’m thinking that most of the tracks and trails we’ve mercilessly trashed would, if followed as actually intended, have brought us to Nirvana, Allness, Buddha, Perfection, Spirit, God.

Testing the Two Trees

Hypnotism denounced

TESTING THE TWO TREES

I didn’t mean to test them out, I was just minding my own business when I began to feel my own robin-feathers getting ruffled. “How the h… long is it gonna take to have Verizon remove a superfluous add-on? Why is it always so d… hard to log in? How in the deuce can they blah blah blah blah?

Yo, Robin! Remember the two trees? Yeah yeah yeah I know – there’s only one. (I did NOT say “so what?” But the answer to “so what?” came promptly):

In the Third Dimension there seems to be a difficult (being polite) Verizon with infinite problems. In the Fourth Dimension there’s no Verizon, no frustrated customer – me, no me at all, just Spirit. Feeding the entire tree.

I choose door #2, The Tree of infinite, perfect, harmonious Life! Free-flowing, irritation-free, loving … Hello? Hello? Oh, it’s all taken care of, Verizon? Thank you VERY much!

This kind of demonstration happens to me a-l-l t-h-e t-i-m-e! And yet I’m always thrilled when I get these surprise God-kisses! This single incident is less than earth-shattering but remember I said “a-l-l t-h-e t-i-m-e!”

With love,

Joel healed his dad!

Joel Solomon Goldsmith

On another occasion, I was called to my own father’s side when he lay in an oxygen tent and, according to the physicians in attendance, was on his deathbed. I stood there with no words of wisdom that could change this appearance into health; I stood there just as anyone would stand in front of his own father in such a situation—but with this difference: I knew that if God uttered His voice, the earth would melt. Standing there, watching my father breathing through that apparatus, the words came, ‘Man does not live by breath alone.’ In less than five minutes, he signaled for the nurse to take the instrument away, and two days later he was out of the hospital.

Who decreed that that condition was evil? God did not; God merely said, ‘Man shall not live by breath alone,’ thus dissipating the belief that man lives by breath, and proving that he lives by the word of God.

Only as long as you entertain the belief in two powers, can you be in difficulty. You are free as soon as you begin to look upon all conditions with a ‘Who told you, you are naked? Who told you, you are evil? Who told you this is sin? Who told you this is disease? Who told you this is dangerous? Where did it come from? Did God ever say that to anyone?

Jesus’ purpose to reveal kingdom of heaven on earth

Joel Solomon Goldsmith

Aside from his healing ministry, Jesus was given another and greater work. And, that was to reveal the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. By his healings, Jesus proved that God was speaking and acting through him. And, never – before nor since – has there been such an exposition of witnessing God in action. To some degree, in the days immediately following, the disciples were able to carry it on. Jesus’ teaching mission was much more important than the healing, however. So, also, the major ministry of The Infinite Way is not healing, but teaching, and letting the healings accompany the teaching. The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few. And, so, what is most needed are students who can teach as well as heal.

The ministry of Christ is universal and is being brought to light through many avenues. It is this that will leaven the human scene until – eventually – there will be a day when no one needs healing.

Once, when the seventy joyously returned from a healing mission, they said to the Master, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.” But, the Master – with great understanding and compassion – replied, “Notwithstanding in this, rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you. But, rather, rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” In other words, rejoice not in the healing itself, but rejoice that you are spiritual and already perfect. Rejoice that there is but one Power; and, therefore, there is no one and no condition to be healed. God does not give us power over evil. Rather, God reveals that we are His children. And, with that revelation, there is no need for healing, because the Son of God never needs healing!

“These things I have spoken unto you that, in me, ye might have peace. In the world, ye shall have tribulation. But, be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.” When the Master spoke these words, he meant that he had overcome the illusion of this world. “These things I have spoken unto you that, in me, ye might have peace.” By which he meant spiritual peace – the Christ-peace, the peace that has no qualities, no degrees, but is always at the stand-point of perfection. There are no discords in heaven. And, once the Christ-peace is accepted in consciousness, there is no more need for healing. For, we will have realized that sin, disease, lack, limitation and death are not powers and have no place in God’s kingdom. Yes, even death will be overcome. For, there will be no conditions leading to death.

“I have overcome the world.” What is this I that performs such a miracle? I am that I am. Where is this I? I am within you – closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet. “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world . . . I have meat to eat that ye know not of . . . the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life . . . I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never hunger. And, he that believeth on me shall never thirst . . . I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The Lord thy God in the midst of you will never leave you, nor forsake you and is available every day of your life as you cease struggling and fearing and retire into quiet, confident, and grateful communion with the Father, in the realization that the allness of the kingdom of God is within you.

The greatest healing principle in the world is to be able to recognize and rely on the I that is within you. When you come into this realization, your work will be a work of love, for I am fulfillment. All good flows to the individual who learns the password I. And, nothing of a discordant nature can come nigh the dwelling place of one who understands its profound meaning. Take this understanding of I into the secret chambers of your being, remembering always that it is only what you know in secret that can be shouted from the housetops. If you pray in public, you will receive the approval of men. But, if you pray and commune and show forth your love of God in secret, you will be rewarded by your Father who heareth in secret. Who is your Father? I am!

Let your prayer be: “Thank you, Father that I am. The kingdom of God is within me.” In this communion with the inner Self, the divine I, you need not pray for any thing. For, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. You have only to accept the abundant blessings that are continuously pouring out of you and through you. In this communion, ask only for awakening, understanding, and light – that you may be taught of the Holy Ghost and that you may “know the things that are freely given to us of God.”

Reach Presence, meditation done

Stephenson, Virginia

“When we reach a place in our meditation that we feel the Presence, the meditation is complete. There is no time in Consciousness; one second of divine Consciousness is far more productive than hours of sitting in meditation where there is no real consciousness of the Presence. Sometimes we are held for a longer period of time, however, meditation is effortless and timeless when the Spirit takes over. The moment we are aware of the Presence and have that released sense of Life, we know our meditation is complete.”

Dear Chuck

Religion No More!!

Dear Chuck,

I keep wanting to respond to a comment you wrote weeks ago which I, like any other red-blooded coward would do, deleted. The main thing I want to convey is my heartfelt thanks coz I totally trust your integrity.

It was about Herb Fitch. I always thought it would be premature for you to check him out coz without going deep into his teachings, one cannot know his message. People who have a very strong motivation to get his full message wind up enamored.

I can’t understand why it’s so important to me that you know why I’m smittened except that I believe we (you&me) share the same negative feeling about his use of biblical terminology. But I think he does a pretty good job (for a 20th cent mystic) of REMOVING ALL TRACES OF RELIGION from his teaching. (If not, my Fitch-itis is over!)

But there’s something else that I find spellbinding about his teaching: it’s how he wends his way effortlessly, unapologetically, between very precious ancient wisdoms from sages all over the world and the inspired teaching of the bible (which, being of a mystical nature, doesn’t require physical validation).

I wrote this as a Private Message but decided to put my neck on the chopping block (as I am wont to do!). I’m sure I don’t need to say this but I will anyway: this has absolutely nothing to do with credit (he is long gone, you know). I guess that above all else I see tremendous healing potential in his teaching.

TWO TREES: DICTATION FROM HERB FITCH RE. NON-DUALITY

Herb Fitch

TWO TREES: DICTATION FROM HERB FITCH RE. NON-DUALITY

The reason a teaching such as this exists is that man of his own free will, of his own intelligence, will never know that he is violating cosmic law. Now the secret of non-violation of cosmic law is that you are never tempted and you never succumb to the temptation to believe that there are 2 of anything. There aren’t 2 apples, there aren’t 2 people, there aren’t 2 worlds, there aren’t 2 planets, there aren’t 2 nations. There is one invisible self. That’s the tree of life and when you leave it you violated cosmic law And you will pay the price. The violation Of cosmic law, the violation of the principle that there is only one invisible consciousness, 1 being 1 self, 1 soul, 1 life, 1 body, 1 mind. Coming into the tree of good and evil which is prescribed to Adam-and-Eve . That’s the fall from Eden: the belief that there is multiplicity because now we’re looking through the senses of man and we’re looking at the one with the branch cut off And we cannot receive from the one. It’s like cutting the branch off a tree. While the branch is on the tree there may be 5000 branches but they’re all one with the tree. So are we with the one consciousness now . In our unawareness of it we become unable to receive from the one consciousness. And now we have a divided consciousness . One comes up to us we receive it not. We’re in a different consciousness, a personal sense of self, a little ego instead of the one infinite ego. And now everything we see is in twos. Good bad. High low, hot cold, Healthy unhealthy, Life death. And so the tree of knowledge of good and evil becomes the human experience and it is the violation of the principle of one being. Now there’s nothing that can happen in your life To change the fact that we are all one with each other And we are all one with the 1 consciousness. This is an immutable fact. It is only our believing consciously or subconsciously that we are not one with each other and that we are not 1 with the infinite consciousness which takes us out of the fact of life And this Exhibits itself as a series of problems. Without the sap, no fruit, or fruit that deteriorates . Now this becomes the test then . Can you live in such a way that regardless of what comes into your experience you consciously remember and act from that remembrance – that this one there and this 1 here Is a lie. There may be 2 appearing but There is only one invisible self. And that 1 self is always the perfect divine consciousness. Now I can rest. I don’t have to defend myself. I don’t have to compete, I don’t have to struggle Because the one consciousness is feeding each branch. Whether the branches know it or not, whether the other individuals know it or not The one consciousness is feeding each branch. Now living in the tree of life the one consciousness means you are living in the awareness of an invisible force that permeates the universe And you’re not doing anything to make that force come to you. It is your being now. You’re not turning to that force and directing it. You’re not asking it to do something. You’re not seeking anything from it Because just as the force is flowing through the tree it is Flowing through you. And the big test is when you don’t see that it is flowing from you and the problem Is at your front door step. That is where we most of the time fail. We stare at the problem and we’re looking now at Our concept or the tree of good and evil And we’re convinced that this is a real problem . We’re hypnotized. There’s nothing in the world that’s going to convince us that this isn’t real . One woman said “my husband came home drunk. You can’t tell me that that was an illusion because I sat up all night Because of it.” No we can’t tell her that But it was an illusion and so was her sitting up all night. She can continue to assert the fact that she saw it And she went through it. It was her experience And you can’t change that. but she’s violating cosmic law. She’s living in the tree of good and evil To live in the tree of life One would have to be in a certain consciousness which says I smell it, I see it, It’s disgusting, it’s revolting It’s disturbing but it isn’t here. Now you say how can we do such a thing ? The answer is whether you like it or not this is the way To Christhood. And you will find that all of these things are happening . It’s kind of like a police whistle . Suddenly you hear the whistle. You didn’t want to violate. You didn’t want to go through the light You didn’t want to turn on that double arrow Or if you did you hoped no one would see you But there’s that whistle and you stop . Now that’s the same thing when some discord comes into your life . It doesn’t make any difference what kind of discord . It happens just like a police whistle . It’s there to call your attention to the fact that you aren’t living in the Tree of life. You may be angry. You may wish this discord didn’t happen. You may lose your temper, but always you’re missing the point that this discord which happened Is calling your attention to the fact That if you were in the tree of life And not in the tree of good and evil this discord could not happen. And so karmic [(in Theosophy) the cosmic principle of rewards and punishments for the acts performed in a previous incarnation.] law hits you right now . Right now it points the finger at you and it says This is the problem and you have deviated from the law so pay the price.

“There’s [something] beyond the creation, which is ultimate oneness, total peace, pure awareness, sat-chit-ananda [existence, consciousness, bliss], nirvana—and when you experience that, you will not have anything to say. It’s difficult for a materialistic person to know anything beyond their materialism, but what if they surrender and give up everything?

“Something more beautiful than you can ever imagine takes over and you live in total bliss from there on in. Total happiness, that’s the fourth state, total bliss happiness, total oneness, omnipresence.”

Robert Adams, 20th century
American Advaita mystic

Imagine the ramifications as this goes viral. People who are just beginning to wake up … Wow! … imagine! Imagine!

Imagine three mega-pastors, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen (I call them ‘Jo-Jo-Jo’) suddenly waking up to the glorious gift they could give the world: teach all their sycophants and other sheeple that, guess what, the rewards for overhauling their entire materialistic lifestyle and teaching style are phenomenal. But first they’d have to actually learn for themselves what life really IS all about.
