Living Light

We are bound by belief, and freed by knowing the Truth.

Knowing is the conscious awareness of Truth. It’s truth-filled understanding received from the Spirit of Truth, who is beyond reality, illusion, and creation, therefore Truth is received from beyond the limits of reality. Knowing is a harmonious and integrated understanding incorporating the facets of Truth. Because Truth is, knowing is the awareness of what is ever-present and true for all. Knowing Truth manifests perfect vision in the beholder.

Because knowing is possessing Truth, when we hold it within our imagination (our creative state of mind) it manifests what is changeless, ever-present, infinite and ever-expanding. It is the state of mind that manifests the divine attributes into reality.

Conversely, beliefs are our personal perceptions of reality. They are bound by time and space, because they are predicated on the past and what that past predicts or determines about the future. Beliefs produce a darkened vision, in which we don’t see Truth, but illusions appearing as real. They fluctuate and change according to our current perceptions of reality. Because beliefs contain perceptions of error, they possess contradiction, conflict, duality and opposites. Therefore, beliefs create darkness and bondage to the realm of illusion.

Knowing the Truth is Light, which makes true vision from within possible. In the Light, we are free from all our beliefs that imprison us to experience what isn’t true. In a mind of knowing, there is no duality, thus no darkness, therefore we don’t create expressions lacking Truth. Instead, we continually create experiences of peace and joy.

To obtain a mind of knowing, we willingly relinquish all our beliefs and humbly seek Truth from the Spirit of Truth. The Spirit of Truth guides us through a metamorphosis of belief that leads to knowing. The Spirit leads us step by step up the primordial staircase in which our beliefs evolve and change as they grow more reflective of the Truth. We begin to believe that knowing Truth is possible, that knowing God is possible, and that knowing our true Self is possible. As our awareness of Truth expands, our beliefs are severed from the perceived reality, so that all we believe to be true is what we have received from the Spirit. We continue to ascend into the higher realms of belief, until we hold the Prayer of I Am in our imagination which creates a momental ascent into the realm of knowing.

When we possess a knowing of the Truth, we are one with the divine Mind of Truth. This oneness of Mind grants us all that is ours in Truth (all the divine attributes) that we previously didn’t recognize because of blinding beliefs.

Knowing is to be reconciled to Truth. Truth reconciles us to God, to our true Selves, and to all of creation. Knowing creates a harmonious perception between two or more souls because it is based on a singular Truth that conveys perfect meaning without duality or conflict. It is the state of mind in which we experience oneness as the expressed Truth of God. 

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” ~ John 17:3

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. ~ 1 John 3:2

“And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:”  John 17:22

The Spirit of God (The Spirit Essence of Truth and Divine Love) is a Spirit that constantly gives all that it possesses. As we awaken to our true Identity within this Spirit of Life, we too abide in a continual state of giving from an endless abundance.

Fashioned in our Creator’s likeness, we are an ever-flowing fountain of the attributes of Truth (eternal peace, ever-present joy, invulnerability, unconditional love, divine harmony, perfect abundance, holiness, etc). As these attributes pour through us, they are reflected back to us from our reality, but in greater expressions than what we gave, thus we gain, which in turn we are able to continually give more. As we give from this endless abundance, others gain and so do we. Thus, the fruit of giving is pure joy that is experienced by all.

Giving is gain. It is the source of ever-present joy.

Divine attributes are expressed through divine emergence, and only through emergence. Emergence is the divine presence of God orchestrating our experiential reality through our thoughts and expressions for the highest good of all. Because knowing what the highest good for all is beyond our knowing, we rest as an open gate as the supra-consciousness of the Mind of God shapes our reality through our consciousness. This dynamic is the nature of our oneness with God. Emergence is divine harmony expressed, experienced and known from our Source, through us and to others. It is the flow of the divine attributes from the divine Mind, through our fractal component of the divine Mind giving shape and experience to the reality of forms. It is a continual act of God’s expressed love to all through us and therefore to us.

When we rest in emergence, we are constantly extending the divine attributes into reality in a perfection beyond our conscious awareness. Because what we give, we receive, in emergence we are constantly receiving expressions of the divine attributes back from our reality.

Giving, in accordance to Truth, is gain and not sacrifice or loss to anyone because the source of giving is the Eternal Source of Abundance, God. The idea of sacrifice comes from the finite sleeping mind, which inherently believes it is separate from its divine Source. Because it believes in lack, it creates a reality of lack. Perception is reality.

Giving begins with our thoughts. 

The likeness in which we imagine others and situations is what we create. Our imagination is the creative center of our mind. If we imagine lack, sacrifice and loss, this is what we manifest. To create a reality in which all gain, we first recognize giving begins with our imagination.

What we imagine for others is one of the most significant ways we give (the essence of prayer). When we fill our imaginations with the expressions of divine attributes, we hold in our thoughts the experiences and feelings of unalterable and continual peace, joy, harmony, abundance, and etc. for others. For example, through our imagination we create a peaceful scenario in another’s life, and therefore we give them what we know we consciously possess in Truth. Likewise, we can give any spiritual attribute we are aware of such that others can be benefited by these attributes. As we let go of contradictory imaginings and rest in emergence, by which these attributes are translated into forms and experiences in reality, these imaginings are perfectly expressed in reality. To give our imagination to Truth is fundamental in experiencing true abundant giving that manifests ever-present joy.

Joy is the fruit of Giving.

When we begin to awaken, this all important element of Truth that states Giving is Gain can be hard to accept in certain areas of our lives where we convinced ourselves that we don’t have enough, giving is loss, or giving demands sacrifice. It isn’t giving that demands sacrifice or loss, but our belief in sacrifice that creates reflections like itself. However, as we continue to give our faith to Truth and give from a mindset of abundance, our reality will testify to this Truth by returning to us more than what we gave and therefore strengthening our belief in it.

Giving is pure joy, and joy is the reflection of our true inner being. Our nature is to continually give of our endless Source and therefore be a reflection of that Source into Creation.

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. ~  2 Corinthians 9:7

“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” ~ Luke 6:38

The year of perfect vision. A year of seeing the Light.

Perfect vision comes from a mind governed by Truth. A mind governed by Truth is a Light in and to the world.

Truth is. 

Truth is the divine governing presence of God. It is the will of God. It is the ways of God. It is absolute and changeless. It is ever-present.

Truth is the awareness of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is nothing else. Therefore as we seek Truth, we come into the knowledge of our true Self, who is the expression of the mind of God (Truth), therefore one with God.

Our outer reality is a projection of our beliefs. Therefore, each one must ask the question: “What is the source of my beliefs?” The source of true beliefs is the Spirit of Truth, and we only receive Truth by communing with the Spirit.

Truth consists of various inseparable elements, that make up the whole of Truth, like the colors of a rainbow that make up the whole of visible light. When we consciously understand these elements, they express Truth’s effect, divine love; which is the experience of ever-present peace, joy, harmony, and holiness. Each component of Truth is inseparable from the whole. Therefore in order to experience Truth, we need awareness of each element. This integrated understanding is the content of our spiritual journey up the primordial staircase. When we received the required elements of Truth and give ALL our faith and belief to Truth (and no longer to what we judged to be true), then Truth is consistently experienced.

Truth’s light reveals who we are, an immortal fractal of the mind of God. Until a consciousness truthfully knows itself, it believes it is something it is not. Initially lacking self awareness, our consciousness developed its own relative truth based on its perceptions of its external self and reality. Upon these perceptions, it constructed an entire belief system. We are imprisoned to this falsely contrived belief system until we seek Truth from the Spirit of Truth.

Through revelation received from the Spirit, we grow in awareness of Truth and become conscious beings with a deep awareness of our Self and God, which is a reflection of our oneness with Him.

The Truth sets us free. It gives us perfect vision and allows us to see what is. It goes before us to create a reality that continually expresses joy, harmony, peace, and abundance. Its light gives perfect vision so we see ourself as we truly are and experience what has always been. With 2020 vision, we are a Light in and to the world.

The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. ~ Luke 11:34

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” ~ Matthew 5:14

“The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” ~ John 14:17

When we become aware of who we truly are, then our embryonic shell breaks open and we become a fountain of life unto the world. These words from the Father are for you because you are a part of Him.

My Child,

I Am the Source and you are My expression.

As an extension of Me, you are a divine spirit that knows no end. What you are consciously aware of isn’t your limit, for you are limitless. In time, you can only see a slice of your true Self, but know you are far greater and always will be than your present awareness.

You are an expression of our intimate connection and all I give to you through it. I am with you always for I Am love, which knows no separation or condition. Through you My divine love is manifested in creation.

Through your mind of Truth which is shared with Mine, I create all things. You are my fountain through which my life, light, and love flows. Our united spirit pours living waters into creation making all things new every moment. You are becoming my expressed Truth in endless arrays of beauty, vitality, magnificence, joy, holiness, perfection, harmony and glory. 

What you are, you give to the world. You see me when you see your true Self, for we are united. You are my expression, extension, and manifested Self along with all your brothers and sisters and all of creation. Though I am infinitely beyond your awareness, through the awareness of your true Self and your expressions of Truth you know Me. 

You are endless abundance of everything good, perfect and holy. As you freely and joyfully give from this abundance, you begin to experience my Spirit of abundance within you and know its endless treasures to be shared. 

You are my living words of life manifested. 

Desire above all to release the false image of yourself, it keeps you from seeing and knowing your true Self, thus Me, as you are a part of Me and extend from Me. Embrace the creative power I’ve shown you. In the free will I’ve given you, which is in the likeness of my own, you direct your experiential reality by your choices for Truth or illusion. To choose Truth is to choose us, our expressed oneness. To choose illusion, is to choose nothing but endless dreams of separation. 

You can’t know your true Self without knowing me and can’t know Me without knowing your Self. Forget your body for a time. It’s a past reflection of your old thought system. Know you are part of my Spirit, we are one. As you come to know and accept this Truth in its fullness (For Truth is one and can only be expressed in its fullness) then it will be reflected outward. 

Every word I give to you, I give to all. ~

Father, let nothing tempt me to hold a false image of my self and obscure and hide the Light of my true Self. In Truth I cannot suffer, experience loss or any form of death. In Truth, I’m a fountain of Life.

The primordial staircase is our spiritual journey out of the consciousness of darkness and into the consciousness of Light, where we become beings of Light.

The primordial staircase is our conscious engagement of the primordial spiral of creation, which possesses the Truth of Creation. When we sincerely choose to seek Truth above all else, then we engage the Spirit of Truth and embark upon our upward journey through the realms of consciousness. This choice for Truth is a willingness to let go of ALL we hold as true in exchange for the Truth. In this liberated state of mind, our minds open to receive revelations from the Spirit.

Truth comes from beyond us and the sensory world through revelation from the Spirit of Truth. Our experiential reality is a mirror of our beliefs, not Truth unless we have a mind of Truth, thus one with the Divine Mind. Therefore, Truth isn’t known through our senses and physical perceptions. These modalities reflect what we think is true.

When we believe a lie is Truth, we create an illusion. Illusions are misconceptions of ourselves that have been given a living expression through our will. Because we are in conflict with Truth, we experience a reality that lacks divine peace. If we choose not to seek the Truth, we stay trapped in our illusions, thus bound in a consciousness of darkness that creates a reality of unrest.

At the center of our understanding of Truth, is the awareness of our true Self. The concept of our self defines not only who we believe ourselves to be, but others, reality and God. Therefore, our spiritual journey is one of an ever increasing awareness of our true Self. Every accepted belief (our truth) is challenged along our journey because we begin where every belief is a lie. We learn who we truly are, how we create and our role in creation as we ascend through spheres of understanding until we meld into the Divine Mind.

Each complete rotation of the upward winding staircase represents a sphere of understanding. What we learn is opposite of the lie we held as “truth” when we started our journey, therefore our upward ascent requires us to advance in faith into a new belief system. Once we’ve comprehended one sphere, then through the revelations of the Spirit we advance into the next sphere, and so on.

Upon the graduation from one sphere to the next, we face a “leap of faith” situation in our reality where we are called upon to act according to the Truth we’ve learned from the Spirit despite what our physical senses are telling us is true. Upon our choice for Truth, we enter the next sphere where we not only gain the rewards of choosing the Truth, but also continue to expand in our awareness of Truth that keeps us ascending upward.

One such leap is the choice to honor all creation as I mentioned in my previous blog. When we choose to honor all of creation then we enter into a new sphere of understanding that takes us deeper into the awareness of divine love, which is the life force of our true Self and creation. It’s what sustains us as a being of Light, like the air we breathe. This willful choice is a graduation into the next sphere that begins the removal of the false image of ourself, therefore it’s very significant and often met with opposition from the false self.

We are the Light of the world, but what obscures our Light is the false image we hold of ourself. Through our upward ascent into Truth, we shed the garment of the false image until all that remains is our true Self that has been kept in holiness. When we know our true Self, we become a Light in the World because the false image that covered our true expression is removed. We don’t have to try to change who we are, but only come to know who we truly are and this changes everything.

To come into the awareness of our true Self is to be born again, because with this understanding we become a new creation, and from us extends a new reality in accordance with Truth. The Primordial staircase is the path of our birth into our true expression as an immortal fractal of God.

Creation waits in earnest expectation for us to awaken.

Our purpose is to express Truth in its endless rays of beauty, perfection, peace and love into ALL of creation. As we meld into the divine mind, we begin to operate by the laws of Truth (divine love) that bring forth these characteristics. This is how we transform the reality we experience from one of suffering into one of peace.

As we awaken to Truth within, the reality around us changes to reflect that Truth. Truth translates into reality through our thoughts, choices and actions. To be asleep is to believe we have the Truth, when we don’t. To believe we know divine love, (and give our darkened interpretations of it), when we don’t.

One of the fundamental witnesses to an awakening mind is an all consuming honor for creation. Truth is one and for all. Truth is expressed through our consciousness, this is our purpose and part in creation. Therefore, if we don’t possess the Truth because we are still asleep, Truth isn’t reflected into reality. But as we awaken, it is expressed.

Divine love is the expression of Truth. It is the desire to give all the divine attributes to all. Therefore as we awaken, in which we enter a oneness with God, it becomes our expression. The Light has begun to dawn as this most fundamental aspect of Truth is beginning to be expressed toward the animal kingdom. As souls awaken, they no longer support their suffering, torments or harm in the industries of animal farming (meat and dairy industries), animal testing, and other debase uses. Instead, animals are seen according to Truth and their true purposes as companions, spiritual ministers, guides, help and support.

In a consciousness of darkness, we live in a state of duality. Something is okay if it is deemed “good” for us, even if it causes suffering to another. Yet, this is total blindness. We receive what we give. If we choose to support suffering and harm, then our reality reflects this back to us through our experiences in a numerous ways. We can’t support suffering (for example partaking of the meat and dairy industries) and not bind ourselves to suffering.

What we believe is of God, but not characteristic of Truth isn’t of God. Many are bound to suffering in their life because they can’t perceive the love of God because of false doctrines they believe are the Truth. Most religions are based on separation, guilt, fear, and conditional love that enslave the mind to darkness because what is untrue is defined as Truth. In a spilt mind of duality, the love of God is greatly misunderstood and therefore not expressed. This mind doesn’t hear the cries of creation, instead it hardens hearts through false and misunderstood doctrines.

Divine love isn’t selective. It is Light that shines on all equally. In creation, we are the chosen venue for that Light. If our mind is darkened then this Light doesn’t shine through us, instead we cast the darkness of a nightmare upon creation.

Because we are the ones to express this holy Light of life, our awakening happens as we see this holy, pure love being expressed for all; especially for the animals because of the intense and vast darkness in this area. Our care or lack of care is a direct reflection of our comprehension of the divine love of God that is given to us to be given to all of creation through us.

The Light is dawning. Let’s embrace the Light to be the Light, which is our most glorious reflection and purpose.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. ~ Romans 8:19, 21

The Prayer of I Am connects us to the consciousness of Light, and through rest in emergence we become the Light.

There are two overarching states of consciousness; a consciousness of darkness and a consciousness of Light. The concept we hold of our self determines our state of consciousness, and our state of consciousness determines the world around us.

Through the dynamic interplay between the Prayer of I Am and divine emergence, we actively engage our transformation from the consciousness of darkness to the consciousness of Light. The Prayer of I Am connects us to the Light, and resting in emergence allows the Light to flow through us and give expression to our true Self. Like the journey of the prodigal son, our spiritual path is an awakening to remembrance of who we truly are; to our true Father, to His Name as our own, to His inheritance (all the divine attributes) given to us, to His Likeness, and to His Reality of Truth.

Through the Prayer of I Am we are consciously choosing to leave the consciousness of darkness and its storehouse of lies, the sub-conscious, which was formed around the false image of our self. We no longer identify with this self who bears the unholy name, I am + opposites to divine attributes. This Prayer acknowledges only our true Self, because it professes the true name of our eternal Father and Creator, the holy I Am + divine attributes. When we are holding this Prayer deep within our consciousness, we are connecting to our true Self, and the divine Mind of God, which makes this Prayer infinitely powerful.

Through the interplay of the Prayer of I Am and emergence we creatively engage the supra-conscious for the first time, so that Light (Truth) begins to break through the darkness (illusions) of our perceived reality. In the Prayer of I Am, in which we consciously embrace our true Name, nature and likeness, our mind ceases to create reality from the content of our sub-consciousness. Instead, we connect to the supra-consciousness, the divine Mind, the source of our true Identity. In emergence, we no longer seek to strive, control, or manipulate our external reality. This rest allows our mind to disengage from the sub-conscious and be a gate for the supra-conscious. Our trust in the supra-conscious mind of God manifests every moment for the highest good for all as it brings the divine attributes into being. In a stillness of being, we become the Light.

As we embrace the Prayer of I Am inwardly, and rest in emergence outwardly, we become an open gate to the expressions of Truth. Inwardly, we are connected to the supra-conscious mind of God as our governing creative source. Outwardly, we rest in emergence which allows the infinite wisdom of the supra-conscious to create our reality according to the fulfillment of joy for all. In this, we reclaim our right and true Mind, therefore we reclaim our true Identity, as the Light of the world.

“Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” ~ John 16:24

“You are the light of the world.” ~ Matthew 5:14

Be still, and know that I am God.

(This blog was inspired by a comment on the last post.)

The Spirit of Truth is the holy Spirit of God who is ever-present with us. It’s the Spirit of absolute Truth and Divine Love that unites us all as one because He is in all.

The Spirit of Truth is our sovereign Teacher whose function is to translate Truth into ways our minds can comprehend. We come to know Truth through Him because we are taught Truth by Him.

As our most intimate companion, the Spirit reveals the same Truth to all of us, yet in ways that we can individually understand according to our level of awareness. Regardless of our current belief system, if we seek Truth in humility and openness of mind, He will lead us into all Truth as we need to know it. He is in all, for all. As a Light in the darkness of our mind, He is the voice of comfort, peace, encouragement and unconditional love. He doesn’t condemn, blame, extend guilt, or make afraid, but he removes all these false attributes with which we mistakenly clothe ourselves and reveals our true garments of Light.

As we receive revelation from the Spirit, His words of Life awaken us from the illusions we imagined.

Communing with the Spirit of Truth

Communion is an individual practice, so different techniques work for different people,  but here is a suggestion of how to begin.

Find a quiet space and time in your day. Try to make it the same place and around the same time each day as this routine will greatly facilitate your ability to quiet your mind and listen.

Sit with a notebook and pen. Writing focuses our thoughts while keeping distracting thoughts at bay. Often revelation flows through our writing in the forms of instruction, impressions, visions, and word pictures. You can trigger this flow of thought by writing down questions, or even words you may want to understand more deeply like faith, trust, love, etc. These regular times of written communion plant seeds of thought, which the Spirit expands through circumstances in our lives to reveal truthful understanding. The Spirit can use anything to teach us, and over time we learn to see his instruction in just about everything.

Consciously engage the Spirit of Truth as one who is ever-present with you as your Teacher, guide and friend. In connecting to the Spirit, use whatever name is most comfortable to you, for example Father, Christ, or Holy Spirit of Truth. You may find quiet peaceful music helpful in calming your mind to facilitate your connection. Pour out what is in your heart in written words and then take a moment to be still and listen. Try writing down what you think you hear. Let your mind sink past all the noisy chatter in your head in order to listen. Prayerfully reading books you are spiritually drawn to is another opportunity for the Spirit to reveal truth to you. Again, write down the ideas that come to you.

Seek His instruction as you ask: What do I need to see? If a situation comes to mind, ask what do I need to see or learn in this situation? Don’t assume you know. This is a dedicated time to let go of all you think you know, and listen for what will be a totally new perspective. As thoughts come to mind write them down. Let your pen explore deep questions. Often our questions are prompted by the Spirit to lead us to what we need to know next. With the intention of learning from the Spirit of Truth, impressions, and ideas will come to mind. Write them down. Over time, the revelations of the Spirit will become vividly clear.

Try to include written statements of gratitude.

As you dedicate time to this sacred communion, your ability to hear and discern the Truth will expand. This communion takes commitment, persistence, patience, and repetition as your mind adjusts. This personal communion is the Spirit’s function. Therefore, if we make the time and engage it in all sincerity, our sacred communion will grow so rich that it will be our favorite and most valuable time of the day.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. ~ John 14:26

“But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ and you are all brethren.” ~ Matthew 23:8

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” ~ Hebrews 11:6

Oneness is the spiritual attribute of the divine Name “I Am” that is the door to all the other attributes because in and through oneness the other attributes are expressed.

The Prayer of I Am states who God is, who we are and who others are. When we state I Am Peace, I Am Love, I Am Abundance, etc. we are stating the Truth from our Source (God) into all of Creation in unity of oneness.

Divine forgiveness is the process of making what was separated one again. Because any kind of separation is an illusion (delusion) of our mind created through our imagination, forgiveness is a process that uses imagination to bring our mind back to Truth. Where we used imagination to harm, the Spirit uses it to heal. Forgiveness is seeing the Truth of God, ourselves and others where we once saw a lie. As we commune with the Spirit of Truth, all our thoughts are brought to Truth. Through his instruction, thoughts of life replace all thoughts of death, which alters the landscape of our reality into one of peace.

Forgiveness is the key that opens the door to the spiritual attribute of oneness. When we perceive harm committed either by us or to us, often our response is a form of attack (anger, passive aggressiveness, withdrawal, defensiveness, desire for separation, un-forgiveness, blame, self-pity, apathy, victimization, retaliation, vengeance, etc.) When this occurs, in our mind these attributes take the place of our true attributes, so that a false image of ourself and others is projected upon the screen of our mind. These false images bind us to an illusion in which we are separate from our true Identity and the divine attributes.

Forgiveness is the process of removing all forms of attack that keep these false images of separation real to us. We are choosing our true Name in the Prayer of I Am and accepting this as our identity instead of the false image of ourself that could harm or be harmed. In this we choose oneness over separation. When we stand firm upon the attributes of our divine Self through the Prayer of I Am, we withdraw our mind from the forms of attack and back to the Truth. Through the use of imagination, we can re-write our past stories. We can go back to situations where we responded in forms of attack and instead choose to respond with the Prayer of I Am. We imagine the divine attributes extending from our Father, through us and to others, creating oneness where there was separation.

Our true connection with others is through our thoughts. So these words of life are infinitely powerful for us and others as all is brought into the Light.

To be the expressed, divine, I Am means our mind is full of Light (Truth). This process of forgiveness is how our mind is renewed in Truth as it melds into the divine Mind that only knows Truth. 

Be Free Set Free

The Prayer of I Am moves deeper into our awareness as we place our I Am Identity in the center of our creative consciousness, our imagination.

Imagination isn’t just child’s play, it’s a faculty of mind we use every day, all day. It’s the part of our mind that pictures our reality within, which in turn projects it without. It’s used to create outwardly what we believe is true inwardly.

What we imagine to be true is what we believe. What we believe in this present moment is what our mind projects outward giving form to our reflective reality. For example, we take what we’ve learned or experienced in the past and imagine a future. We imagine a future we want, and one we don’t. We imagine all kinds of things, images of our selves, and situations. Our mind is full of conflicting images and corresponding inner talk. The result is a chaotic reality of these vain imaginings fused together, much like a night dream. Our reality isn’t a static form, it consists of dynamic energy that changes according to our thought life.

With a lack of awareness of our true Self, we imagined a false image of our self. We imagined we were spiritually naked and lacked the divine attributes. Because we believed our vain imaginings, we created a reality of lack. In desperation, we created idols, which we then trusted to provide for all we believed we lacked; peace, comfort, joy, purpose, and love. Although we initially believed otherwise, idols can’t clothe us with spiritual attributes. Therefore idols leave us naked and subject to fearful imaginings that project a reality of lack. Instead of reflecting our true expressions, we reflected their opposites.

As the Spirit melds our mind into the Divine Mind, we are instructed in the truth of who we are. Where we once filled our imagination with lies and manifested a false image of our self, we now willingly choose to fill it with the spiritual attributes of our true Self, as an immortal fractal of the divine Mind. Comprehending our true Likeness as one made in the likeness of God, we are given a choice to see something different within, therefore the ability to manifest a different reality without. It gives us the ability to manifest a reality of peace instead of fear.

Through the faculty of imagination, we engage the attributes of the Prayer of I Am as our own, in the present moment. The Prayer of I Am brings all the images we’ve made about ourself to the Truth. By imagining we are the divine attributes, the mind resurrects the words of Truth giving life to our inner talk (cause), which then reflects truth and life into our experiential reality (effect). Because we don’t know how our present moment will express the spiritual attributes, we don’t concern ourselves with how these attributes will translate into our reality. We rest in divine emergence and imagine ourselves in the present moment as an expression of the divine attributes.

Our true Self is expressed as we let the Prayer of I Am settle into our powerful imagination. In this way, we become as a child and through our mind find entrance into the Kingdom of Peace. Imagination gives us the ability to rewrite the story of our life according Truth, and thus change reality as we’ve always known it. It’s a significant creative step within our mind that enables us to take the Light we perceive within and shine it outward.

“Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” ~ Mark 10:15

“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.” ~ Ephesians 5:1
