IN CHRIST
we were always the Son of God.
Always means always.
All of us means all of us!
It’s all about recognition.
Recognition of
Christ in us.
There was never a moment that I
was not the Christ, the I AM,
Even when I thought I was
Something else!!

Connecting with God
HOW CAN I CONNECT WITH GOD ?
Words are not necessary: they can help you align your thought but the goal is actually REST in God. When your mind is still, God’s mind can fill you up with a level of joy that is indescribable! So, listen with your whole heart.
When the connection is made – and maintained – consistently over time, you’ll start to think as God instead of needing to make contact with Him.
Eventually – after much surrendering and hearing His voice, a most delightful event will occur: you’ll recognize that His voice ACTUALLY IS YOUR VOICE !!!
States and stages
STATES AND STAGES OF HEALING CONSCIOUSNESS
You may be more aware in one area and I may be more so in another in our apprehension of spirituality but it behooves us to exercise our freedom to follow God alone and not be swayed by appearances.
One thing is consistent, though. We cannot help an ailing patient if our thought and feelings are on the same level as theirs. Far better is it to go off to our private place spiritually, see the claim for what it is and bring our conscious awareness of God’s ever-presence and power to bear on it.
It has been my experience to have healings take place on the inside before I see any evidence on the outside. Oftentimes a problem disappears when all focus on it has been removed.
STATES & STAGES CONT.
Bearing in mind our Goal is total Rest in God and acknowledging we’re anything but that right now, we’ve realized there’s no harm in making a supreme effort to contact God! Ironic as it seems – Him living in and through and AS us – we must want to hear him within.
You can’t go wrong to hold your runaway worldly thinking in check and deal with issues in a more graded manner ‘fore they run you totally off your course. The discipline that you allow to assure this is accomplished is only temporary, rest assured (pun intended).
Talk to God. But be sure to quiet down and listen to Him. Exercise that discipline against intruding thoughts UNTIL you are overcome with Love flooding all your senses and welling up in that thinking box that tried to give you so much trouble! Don’t be afraid to stay put indefinitely – nothing in the world could be more important.
Nothing whatsoever.
Want to contact God?
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH GOD, look away from your problem(s) with such absorption in God that you literally want Him more than the answers you think you need. This changes a person’s whole attitude and opens up a wonderful receptivity to God.
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.
~Dr. Robin Starbuck
My kingdom is not of this world.
You cannot overcome a problem while you are on the same level as the problem. It’s the consciousness of the kingdom of God that you’re really after and that’s found in the realm of God. (The rest will be added unto you.)
Eternal life revolution!
Your influence going out into the world can start a spiritual revolution by virtue of the fact that you’re no longer connected to the ego. That victory won can cause a domino effect as it spreads its love everywhere.
You can enjoy the kingdom of God here, now and forever: It’ll rub off on many, many more people than you can possibly imagine. Nothing unlike God belongs in our thinking and we can flush it out with the overwhelming love of God. There are not two powers: God AND error, evil, devil, carnal mind, disease, lack, fear.
We’re not trying to get God to do anything. Where the spirit of God is there is freedom and perfection. It’s as simple as that!
See God absolutely everywhere! See God INSTEAD OF every fleshly claim. Live in Him: He lives in you! This IS living your eternal life now!
Need for contact
Why do people keep asking to have their challenge, their calling, removed from them? Why would they do just about anything but make a concerted effort to get the needed connection – AND MAINTAIN IT – with God? Do they want prayer to jumpstart a much-needed listening session on their part or do they want prayer in order to dismiss God altogether? The assumption is that someone needs to establish a connection with God, and they’re partly right, but it needs to be made ultimately by themselves.
Do you feel a need to make contact with God at last? Simply desire it more than all else and you shall have it!
The peace of God is at first spiritual
In the human realm, physical conquests have ruled – from sticks ‘n stones to nuclear fission and beyond, so obsessed are we with developing greater and greater mousetraps! But everything’s reversed in the spiritual dimensions. “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 KJV. Quite a different mindset!
Think non-power is dangerous? Think again! We who find letting go and venturing out into the unknown intimidating ought to recognize the fear is that of truly relying on Christ whose kingdom is NOT of this world.
If we want to claim the courage to trust Him where it really counts we must develop this courage in our day-to-day choices. The Kingdom of God isn’t gleaned by reconstruction, but by deconstruction; not by putting new wine into old wineskins but by seeking another dimension in our thought-life where we find a whole new set of values, a brand new way of living, loving and sharing life.
Prayer needs contact
Why does prayer not ‘work’ so often? Answer: Because no contact with God was made.
When we go to God in our need and inform Him of said ‘need’, did it ever occur to us that we’ve got things backwards? What we should be taking to God is our willingness to be told by Him what is good for us. We make contact with Him (who resides within) by waking up to this most holy fact.
