God is within each one of us so we should open our consciousness to the unity of God’s pure spiritual consciousness because God reveals Himself in the condition of love, which is a kind of spiritual and physical unity.

The God’s pure consciousness within will show us that God is not far removed from us, but with us in the here and now. Jesus also said this when he gave us the saying; The Kingdom of God is within.

I feel our actions and thoughts within and without resolve themselves in the simplicity of the whole experience, when we focus on our simple unity in God’s pure consciousness and have become acquainted with it so it is apparently outside and within ourselves. This consciousness is witnessed inside, when we know that reality is more than what is observed outside with the senses. Letting go of what is little, we enter into a larger concept of life where there is nothing to fear because we realize that conflict is the result of seeing only in part, not the whole picture.

I firmly believe that religion or rigorous practice can’t be applied with pressure and intimidation because that only brings force and violence, not wisdom so it must be fulfilled with reason, debate and intuition. When religion is left to the conviction and conscience of every person, then one can achieve a balance in this world between positive and negative, good and evil, and also between pleasure and pain. If religion brings fear, hatred, separation or anything that will frighten a child, it is probably not a true practice. Religion should bring reverence and respect for everyone and everything, and it should also not be bent for the rich and powerful because one will see wealth and worldly pleasure as worthless in the higher layers of the mind. The cloak of hypocrisy and self-interest has to be removed so praise and blame can be taken with a calm assurance unaffected by both honor and disgrace. There is no need to limit our possibilities as we open our consciousness to greater receptivity, to an enlarged concept of life as it takes on a fresh and extraordinary interpretation.
Religion should not be used to manipulate people in politics. It should be respected and used internally.

Christian Mysticism

Christianity is reverent and alive if one listens to the call from inside. The dull habit of preaching, giving sermons, patronizing, condemning or judging others as insufficient is the ego talking about Christ, not the religion of Christ. Descriptions about Jesus are not the spiritual ideas Jesus described. The experience of joy and the supernatural realization of Christ are not about sins, hell or Satan, but the glorious energy of the soul. A healer doesn’t rifle through the lives of others, but brings one from the outer personality to the inner-self arousing one from immaturity and prejudice to wholeness.

Christian Mysticism

I feel our intellect, imagination and intuition are vital to the understanding that Jesus is alive in consciousness, which I call Christ Consciousness. The three i’s above point in the direction of God’s pure consciousness so God ceases to be an object and becomes an actual experience. This is where the formless becomes visible and the pure consciousness of God becomes expressed in the unit consciousness of an individual in the form of revelation. We appreciate the teachings of sacred scriptures because they inspire us to rise and go beyond the mind-body-consciousness. The revelations our intellect, imagination, and intuition absorb inspires us to become one with divine harmony and cosmic progression.

Modern revelations of Truth are in complete harmony with the Truth in spiritual scriptures. They come from the same source. Spiritual scriptures and the words from recent revelations enhance and clarify each other. They help us to translate, comprehend, and apply the knowledge in the ancient scriptures.

When one leaves, God visits and leaves behind revelations.

God is present in all of his creation and present in all our knowing and our knowledge. Our communion with God affects our interpretation of the Bible.

Christians being slaves to sin, are not use to exercising self-control in such a way that they could respect others. God accepts us where we are and teaches us about doing the right thing as He heals us from the effects of sin. In the early stages of our spiritual journey, we are happy to be slaves of the living God, sometimes as slaves we start concentrating too much on the do’s and don’ts and lose sight of God Himself.

I feel God doesn’t want us to continue being slaves? As we go deeper into our selves, we are invited to be God’s friends, once we know the Father.

John 15:15 (King James Version)
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
God wants us to be so settled into the truth that we cannot be moved.

We must be able to think through all situations as if we had the mind of Christ in us, if we want to stop being a sinner and a slave.

1 Corinthians 2:16 (King James Version)
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Differences of opinion are among the followers of Christ. We have no right to blame others, Christian or non-Christian as God is present in all creation as stated above. We have no right to despise our brothers and sisters as ignorant and superstitious. We can learn from everyone as God is present in them. The scrupulous Christians find fault with others as they usurp the place of God. They take upon themselves to judge the thoughts and intentions of others, which are out of our their view. They can’t see behind another person’s eyes. Christians often despise and condemn each other and non-Christians about doubtful matters that do not pertain to themselves. They have become slaves to words and not the Spirit of God. I don’t feel we want to clone Christians, let everyman think and enjoy the thoughts that are present in God’s pure consciousness according to the plans Our Lord has for that individual.

King James Version (KJV)
Romans 14:5
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Christian Mysticism

To overcome the feeling of self and self-preservation, which is one of the first instincts of nature, one must overcome the force of selfishness. Selfishness is like the force of gravity, it pulls us down; therefore, to surmount it reveals enlightenment, a condition of selflessness that establishes one in the all-pervading consciousness of love. This implies a passionate knowledge of one’s unity with all, which Jesus illustrated to us by laying down his life for our souls.
The love Jesus showed us is naturally creative and includes everyone. If we work selflessly for humanity, we will also experience the size and the positive nucleus of this all-pervading consciousness. This love or consciousness is in everyone and everything although it is not expressed in the same way and can be expressed either positively or negatively. This is one reason why it is necessary to experience human love and happiness so it is possible to know divine love. Until one has the ability to love and see that it exists in every cell of everything and everybody, one will remain in an inferior state of spiritual evolution.

God visits me when I leave in silence.    Christian Mysticism

Love comes to us through the enfoldment and revelation of our own inner being. “Love your brother as yourself,” in this work we must first know and love ourselves. It takes the knowing of this truth to make pure consciousness evident. All harmony in our experience is the direct result of the activity of love in our consciousness. This does not consist in making statements or repetitions of love, but the awareness of love and pure consciousness in all things. The infinity of God appears when we see pure consciousness in God’s infinite forms and varieties, God as omnipresent, the pure consciousness of God in the individual consciousness and in our own. This love must be realized, we cannot just simply preach how to love God then strive to defeat other faiths or religions.

The mind is tender and is easily harassed in the noisy confusion of life so we need to discipline our minds to keep peace with our soul. In this way we can continue to wonder and see beauty in the world even with its fraud, strife and broken dreams. The person who does not recognize his soul, who does not commune spiritually is but a pair of glasses without an eye, a person with an intellect who is not aware of spirituality knows all the prices, but not the value of life.

The exceptional finding that there is one God awaits each one of us, giving us the ability to change our lives for the better. When we understand the true meaning of one God, our concept of god expands and builds a greater awareness of God’s presence within us. It is a journey towards unity and a new way of living. As we progress on this journey to oneness, we find our lives gradually transformed in a positive way, which includes both the conscious and the unconscious. This balance brings the discovery of a new reality along with a balance between the rational and the irrational, between the intellect and instinct, and between the conscious mind and the unconscious. As we acquire unity, we see that nothing exist in isolation so the nature of our being is unity, a unity of body, mind and spirit. Wholeness or holiness can be achieved with a watchful mind and the knowledge that everything is united in God, if old fears, doubts and prejudices wear away to make room for new ideas and understanding.
