In response to questions regarding the hurricane that appears to have wiped out the city of New Orleans and left much of the surrounding area for many miles in ruins, I feel I must answer by way of a letter in detail to those who are asking these questions.  Please understand that just as Nicodemus came to Jesus asking the questions most pertinent to him in his hour of need, the same Answer Jesus gave to him applies in this hour.  It is always the answer, regardless the question. The answer Jesus gave Nicodemus most likely sounded to him like a cop out, and it will still sound like a cop out to anyone who is not open to the Truth, realizing that although the Truth dawns in a moment - in the twinkling of an eye, the understanding comes continually, gradually and eternally from that point, thus one must “be in Life” in order to more fully understand.  Jesus’ absolute answer to Nicodemus was, “Ye must be born again,” and it is still the way or answer in this moment as well.   Another way of saying it is: Wake up! Realize Who and What you are and begin to LIVE, really LIVE! Life is only a dream, already concluded. You are just watching what occurred in the dream.

            I will answer the questions which have come due to what appears to be a tremendous tragedy, as succinctly and truthfully as possible, but I cannot answer the questions on the level of the “problem.” The answers must come from on high. I trust that if you have asked the questions you will hear by the Spirit enough to help you either understand or begin to understand beyond the images on the screen before you.  It is the pictures which are confusing you.  So long as you are intent upon the pictures on the screen of “this world” they will indeed hypnotize you and continue to veil the truth so that your vision will remain dual.  Jesus said we must have a single vision, but so long as we focus on the “appearances” of this world, we see with dual vision, while stumbling through the dark - attempting to walk in double-mindedness.  It can only be a love of “this world” which would keep us mesmerized by its pictures with its tales of woe.

            When you were a child you most likely believed in Santa Claus. Some children believe so much in Santa that they even “see” Santa in their house on Christmas Eve or believe they have heard him speak in their ear or some other imaginable happening.  Some believe so much that they cry when they are placed on Santa’s lap. The whole “image” is almost too much for them.  Some believe so much in Santa, that with the help of “others” who help them to continue in the fabrication, they absolutely expect the elderly, robust gent to come down the chimney year after year.  Santa is “real” to them, very real.  They will fight to defend this imaginary man and are quite shocked and disappointed to find that this person that they believed in so much was just a fantasy.  I have seen children cry and be very hurt by the news that it was all “make-believe.”  Other children, if they more mature may take it in stride, but either way, to whatever extent they have believed, and regardless how elaborate their imagination has become on the subject, once the illusion is dispelled for them, they can never get it back again.  Once they see through the fantasy it is over.  Though they may want to get that “belief” back, once it is revealed for what it is, it can never be believed in that way again. 

            Once the veil is lifted from your eyes and you see Truth and understand “this world” for the fantasy it is, you will never again be able to see it the way you did before.  The veil is removed in Christ (which is Light - or understanding). 

            Certainly storms, or diseases or other distresses appear real – as real to you as Santa to a child.  Do not underestimate the belief a child has regarding the fictitious world of make-believe.  This is why Jesus very plainly told us to “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” (John 7:24).  What is “righteous judgment?”  It is to see according to Truth, and the “pictures” thrown on the screen called “this world” are not Truth. They may seem “true” to you, but they are not Truth.  TRUTH is whatever does NOT have a beginning or end.  Anything that has a beginning has to have an end, and anything that has a beginning and an end - is NOT Truth, therefore it is not God, and – therefore, it is not Reality.  TRUTH is eternal. What is the “appearance world,” also called, “the temporal world,” is NOT eternal, therefore, is not Reality.   

            GOD IS ALL – get that above all else and then you will “begin” to “see.”  GOD IS OMNIPRESENT. There is no where – NO WHERE where God is not.  God is LIFE, therefore LIFE IS ALL, and there is no where Life is not.  Anywhere there appears to be “death” it is a fantasy. It is not Reality. It is “this world,” the “appearance world,” not the Kingdom (Consciousness) of God.     

            Habakkuk 1:13 says, “Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity…”   God, which is LIFE, cannot even behold anything other than Itself! LIFE. Life can only behold Life. Why? Because there is nothing else! Omnipresence or the Omnipresent, means that God is All in all, that there is not one single inch anywhere that is not God. Where there appears to be anything other than LIFE it is a falsity, an erroneous “belief,” as much as the belief in Santa.  You must see through the “belief.” You must see past the “appearances.”

Jesus said, “For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives…” (Lk 9:56)  Therefore in response to the question, “Did God allow this hurricane where all these people’s lives were taken and their homes destroyed?”, it must be realized that “this world,” – the one that Jesus was speaking of when he said, “My kingdom is not of “this world”, is the appearance world, the “one” we are not to judge because it is merely “appearances” not Reality.  It is nothing, absolutely nothing. HEAVEN IS HERE NOW. 

There is ONLY ONE POWER.  Although many declare that they give God “the Power, the glory and the honor,” they do not when they divide their loyalty and declare that there is another power besides God.  When it is believed that there is a power called hurricane, tornado, tsunami, disease, poverty, death, they are saying that “God is NOT all.” They are not giving God ALL the Power, Glory and Honor” due His name (NATURE), for they do not yet know the Nature Which is God.  When they believe in such fallacies as this, they believe there is God and something else, and a place where God is not, yet the Psalmist declared that “even if I make my bed in hell, Thou art there.” Who is this “Thou?” It is the True Self, the hidden man of the heart, the Consciousness.   

God – Which IS LIFE – cannot take anyone’s life.  How could Life destroy Life?  God – despite how the Old Testament appears to read – has never taken any one’s life, never “slew” anyone. God – Which IS LIFE – cannot slay anyone, for God is All, therefore, LIFE IS ALL. To blame God for taking lives, killing, slaying, etc. is to say as that God is not Love. 

GOD IS Love, a noun, not a verb.  Love IS God, but not love between a man and a woman, nor a parent and a child, nor any other type of “physical or natural” relationship.  God is Profound Love, which is nothing that can be understood by any other than the God-Heart-Mind.  To accuse God of creating or bringing disasters, or taking lives, flies in the face of Truth: “God is Love.”  When Love floods our soul, all we see is Perfection.  Anything else is the stuff of which dreams are made. God never condemns nor destroys. God clarifies and magnifies Self - that LIFE might be known in all Its fullness. Your Self and my Self is the same Self! Thus we are ONE, one body, one heart, one Mind.

            Yes, this is repetitive, but hey, the world has been repetitive in your ears for “lo these many years,” and so you have believed what you seem to hear and see, and you have not been bothered about he constant repetition of the lie being spoken over and over to you from what seems to be a myriad of directions: television, news, radio, friends, family, preachers, doctors, teachers, etc. giving their “bad reports.”  You have merely accepted the repetition of “evil reports,” even as did the people when they heard that spoken by the spies which went to spy out the land. It was easier for them to believe and accept the evil report than to believe Joshua and Caleb who came with a magnificent report of a land flowing with milk and honey in Numbers 13: 17-33.  If you will read this as a parable to show you just how we have reacted to the Truth while accepting the lie, you will see how prone we are to accept the “evil report.”  It depends entirely upon your point of view. Do you have a “lifted vision?” Are you seeing from heaven or earth what is going on before you? If you see only death and destruction, evil, madness and mayhem – out of fear you will not go in and possess the land (Heaven, Nirvana, bliss, peace, joy and righteousness).  If you see from the Heavens, however, the place where YOU REALLY ARE and ALWAYS have been, you will see things for the way it TRULY IS, and will not be either effected nor affected by the seeming circumstances. 

            You must understand that GOD IS ALL, meaning that SPIRIT IS ALL, and therefore there are no “humans,” regardless what you have thought.  That which appears to be the world of the human etc. is like watching a movie on a screen. The moment I Am is the only moment there is.  Yes, to you, though at this moment it may seem real – if you think you are human - it has nothing to do with you actually – not if you are realizing your True I-dentity and your True Place at Home with Father (Consciousness). If you are seeing the world from the “human” perspective it will appear very real to you, but once you are born again, in other words, once you start seeing from your “God-perspective,” you will see through it all and see it for what it is. It is hard to tell a little child that there is no Santa. He will fight you to hold onto the world of the child that is his world. He “knows what he sees!”  And he sees what he knows, but that does not affect the parent who is instructing him that it is make-believe. There is no condemnation. The parent does not fault the child for his being where he is, but the parent gently guides the child to see the truth for what it is.  Now, understand that this is a parable.  There is in Reality (which is God) not parent, nor child, anymore than there is a Santa who comes down the chimney.  BE NOT OF “this world” of belief.  Come within! God is all.

            God does not control the weather, because to God, Life, Light, Spirit, there is no “weather.”  “This world” is only a false consciousness. Only where you are in this moment in Spirit is real.  Though in “being born again,” or realizing your Christ Consciousness, you will – for some time at least – still see things before you, pictures: called this world as it has been appearing, but you will no longer believe in what you see anymore than the child will believe in Santa once he knows it was all in his imagination.

            God - which is Life would not, cannot - kill anyone, because there is no one to kill. YOU are an Immortal Being.  In fact, YOU are God-Being, but not this personality you refer to as “Jeff, George, Katie, Margaret, Harry,” etc.  No, that is as much fantasy as Santa again.  That is the personality in which you think you have been living, moving and being, BUT it is in GOD THAT WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE BEING – and in no other! It is in Life, in Spirit, that we live, move and have being.  I AM ONE WITH God, Life, Spirit, Mind. Not ‘mind’, but Mind. Not lower case, but upper case: “Mind,” which is God, and there is only One.  

            There is ONLY ONE, and this ONE is what is referred to as Jesus Christ.  Though it appears that many have awakened and seen through the illusion and realized Oneness in Life, it is always and only The One, Jesus Christ appearing to the world in visible expression as “Jim, Charles, Mary, Sue,” whatever. Indeed, there is only One. Christ the Inner Man, the Hidden Man of the Heart, - the REAL YOU is the Only One. Your True Self – is the Only One.  In Reality (Truth,God) there is no “you” only THE “I THAT I AM,” which is the True You.  Who have you thought God was?  Jesus said to the woman at the well, “You worship you know not what.”  So long as you have thought that GOD was a Being outside yourself, you have been worshipping you know not what. 

            Jesus said, “I and my Father are One.” Okay, then who is this One? Are there two? Three? A million? No, there is but THE ONE.  “Father” is Consciousness or Mind.  There is ONLY One Consciousness or Mind. There are not minds many. There is only ONE MIND – The Mind of Christ, the Christ Mind, the Mind which we call God.  The Mind or Consciousness is What you TRULY ARE!  You are not a human being, you are not on a planet earth, surrounded by 8 or now “they” say 9 other planets. You are in heaven now and always have been. There never was a prodigal son, a prodigal mind. No, there is only and always the Mind we call God.  God is THE Mind.  Search though they may, the brain surgeon will never locate “The Mind.” You have believed in many minds, therefore, many gods, but there is only The One Mind – the One God – I AM.  This One Mind is Life, and is Eternal. 

            That which is the “appearance world” is a consciousness which is a false consciousness. A dreamer’s dream mind is a false mind. To believe that the one you dream of as being yourself in a night dream has a mind of his own is as foolish as to believe that the one you seem to believe yourself to be in your day-dream has a mind separate from the One and Only Mind.  Realize that this image you see in the mirror is no more real than the dream character you saw yourself as being in your dream last night, even if it is how you see the world at this present “time.” To think the man in the mirror has a mind is as silly as to believe that “you” in your night dream had a mind of its own.  To believe that the man in the mirror is you is to be so mistaken as to believe that that image has a mind and if that be so, then it is a liar and the father of it.” Of what? Of all you survey on your TV, in the movies, on the news broadcast and in any “natural world” or conversation. You will not see this until you can see this. And you will not see it until it dawns on you, in the morning of the new day.  Then you will see and agree that: “God is All in all,” for you will see and accept the “good report,” the Truth that you are IT! You are Life. You are Light. You are Love. Psalms 46:10 “Be still and KNOW THAT I AM GOD.” You are God (Light). You crucified Me once in the body of Jesus Christ for making such a statement, for I told you then, “YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD,” and you believed Me not. Do you believe Me now? Be still long enough to KNOW that!  Be still. Still your thought taking.  “Take no thought.”  Be still, at peace and calm. Let God speak, let Life - speak to you – AS YOU! 

            God does not “do” these things which appear as devastation. There is no devastation!  If you go “out” – to look at pictures, to look at TV, to look at the newspaper to hear the “evil reports” you are going out into “outer darkness.” When you go “within” you will only find Light and Life.  “Go not out!”  Go within.  “The Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN you.” Why then would you want to go without? For if you go without, you will continue to “go without,” but if you go within you will find ALL you could ever want or desire, need or ask. For “within” is peace, joy, protection, provision, nothing omitted! It is the world of appearances which is without. Go within and you will never have to concern yourself with the economy of “this world,” nor the things which “this world” seems to do or have happen to it in any way, shape, or form. Within is the Eternal Supply, for I and my Supply are one. 

            God neither gives - nor takes “natural” life, for there is no such thing as a “natural” anything. God is All and God is Spirit, therefore, what you have been calling “natural” is Spirit, and Spirit is All. There are not “spirits” many, unless you interpret “spirits” as thoughts.  There are many thoughts, but there is only ONE Mind, which is The Spirit!  The Father is the Mind, or Consciousness, and the Son is Perfect Thought in Infinite Spirit.

So long as you take thought you wander into a wilderness of fantasy and illusion – the only place you will ever find “good and evil.”  So long as you stay home with the Father (The God Mind, the ONLY True Mind), you will fear not and will live in peace, no matter what might “appear” to be going on “out there.”

            “But,” you may say, “I saw the pictures on TV. I saw all those poor people who are so lost and devastated, and it breaks my heart.”  Come up hither! You must take the highway or you will be just as lost and devastated as the ones you imagine to be going through what it appears they are going through, but then - you can only be lost and devastated in your mind.  No one’s life has been taken.  Yes! This goes way beyond what “eye has seen and ear has heard.”  This goes into the heavens of which you speak!  You say you wish to live in heaven – to know heaven on earth, did you not expect that Heaven would be different from anything you have ever “thought?” “My ways are above your ways, my thoughts above your thoughts.”  Surely, you didn’t expect to have heaven on earth and everything remain the same as you have always “thought.”  No, this goes way beyond everything you have been taught, for all your “teaching” has been according to man, and man is nothing.  All in the world called “man” is vanity! 

            No one is “snuffed out”, so to speak, before their time is up. God is all, and God is Life, therefore NO ONE EVER DIES! No matter how it may “appear”, no matter what it might “look” like, no matter what you have “heard.” What voice are you listening to anyway?  If you are listening to the still small voice, within, the Voice of God, you will have heard no “evil report,” and you will neither be confused nor fearful.  Do not follow the voice of a stranger! Follow only the Voice of the One you know in-timately.

No one ever dies.  THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE we are speaking of here.  Did you think that “eternal life” began with a birth, with your birth?  No, eternal life means ever-lasting, with no beginning and no end. Thus the life you believe began with a birth and you have expected to end in a death is an illusion.  It is an imagined world even as the child’s world is a world of imagination and belief. 

Are you ready to leave the world as you have known it? Are you tired and weary of “this world?” Then you must turn within. You must return to Father’s House: the God-Conscious State of Being.  You are Eternity Being.  You are God Being. You are Life Being. Realize this and you will not worry over the world which appears so sad, dark and difficult.

No matter what you profess to believe, if it is not manifesting in supplying your every need, it is worthless.  If it is not manifesting in your realization of health beyond health as the world knows about, it is worthless. If it is not making the way straight and visible before you in everything, every direction, every way, it is worthless.  If you are not realizing Perfect body, world, Mind, it is worthless. If you are not realizing Perfect Peace, joyful relationships, calmness and beauty in all things, your “belief” is worthless.  If you are not experiencing things that you couldn’t do in a lifetime of “trying,” it is worthless. 

            You are not to worry about “any people, out there” although that may sound very “hard and difficult” to you, because it is within that you find The Christ, the Truth, and when you know the Truth you will be made free of the world of illusion.  “Let the dead bury the dead,” sounds pretty hard too, don’t you think? Yet Jesus said it! Why? Because he saw past the world of appearance, the world of belief! Only one who is dead can believe there is dead to bury. If you wish to be free of “this world” then you must come up into your Christ Mind. “You have the mind of Christ.” NOW! ( I Cor. 2:16).  “For me to live IS CHRIST.” (Phil 1:21).  It is NOT “i” which lives, but CHRIST!  This is not a mental activity, and you will not find your Self through mental effort or striving through more and more accumulated knowledge according to man. No, this comes by Revelation only. 

Colossians 3:1 – “If ye then be risen with Christ,” (Are you risen with Christ?) seek those things which are above!” “Set your affection (mind) on things above, not on things on the earth.” Col 3:2. CHRIST IS OUR LIFE! Col 3:4. Get your eyes off “this world,” after all Jesus – as you have thought of Jesus - is NOT IN IT, nor even ever a part “OF IT.”  How could you expect to realize Heaven while focusing on hell? Turn now to the Light within and the darkness will be swallowed up in It. Oh, but we worship Jesus as being here and now, well, Jesus is here now – as you, not the man Jesus, it is Jesus Christ, Jesus being the visible Whole expression, Christ - the Light-being expressed!  Father is the Consciousness -Son (or Jesus Christ) the Awareness: Conscious Awareness. “I and the Father are one.” I and my Consciousness are One.  I and my Supply are One. I and my Source are One. I and my Abundance are One.  ONE Conscious Awareness.

Though there appear to be “many” who have awakened, and in a sense this is true, there is actually only the One Who never needed to be awakened, and this One is expressed many ways, at what seems to be many different times.  It is like a many-faceted diamond: One Rock with many facets - each facet being one beautiful side of the same Stone, which causes the Whole thing to glitter, sparkle and shine!

            Regardless the Jesus name, whether it be Moses, Isaiah, Gautama Buddha, Walt Whitman, Jacob Boehme, Francis Bacon, John the Revelator, Paul the Apostle, Sophocles, Plato, Bronte, Browning, Longfellow, or John Doe, It has always been the SAME One coming forth, so that it appears that someone has awakened.  Jesus is the only time that God came forth in that particular way,  to simply show us a little bit of what can be accomplished through the God-Consciousness.  He walked on water. How? He did not see water. For those who have seen the movie, “The Matrix,” it is like the little child bending the spoon that said, “There is no spoon.”  There was no “water” under Jesus’ feet. He never got his feet wet. The lake, or Sea was an illusion. Jesus realized it, albeit to the disciples the lake was “real.” Did you really think that Jesus walked all that way across that huge “lake” called the Sea of Galilee?  There is no distance in Spirit. He simply appeared as he is appearing now in you! As you!

            And what about the man who lay crippled at the side of the pool waiting for a “man” to help him into the healing waters? He had spent thirty eight years in that condition, and of course, no man was able to do what needed to be done.  No “man” ever will!  Any man who claims to be able to “heal” anyone has not yet seen the Truth, and does not know Who he is.  If he knew Who he is, if he knew the Truth as his Life, he would know that there is no one to heal! See only the Truth, no matter what the report may be, no matter what the circumstances look like. And focus on It, not the appearances. When Jesus said “The works that I do shall you do and even greater works than these shall you do,” he wasn’t speaking of you as a “man, woman, boy, girl, human,” as being able to do anything. Jesus, himself, said, “I of mine own self can do nothing.” If Jesus – of his own self – (through any ability he had as a man), could do nothing! - how arrogant to think we can do anything as a man, as a human, that Jesus could not! To think the man in the mirror can heal another is merely ego speaking, and that is nothing, nothing at all.  Jesus was speaking of you realizing your Christ Consciousness – the reason he had to go away so that many things could be realized that would not be realized so long as he was present in that form. If Jesus had continued in the visible form, like unto a man, the crowds would have clung to him, as Mary did, and no one would have seen that death has no sting, that a grave means nothing to “us” in our True State of Consciousness, that no one can die, that Life is eternal, that the form is not Who we are, that we are not dependent upon a certain form in order to “be,” that we are not “human,” rather we are Spirit - all of which you can realize here now! In fact, here now is the only place you will awake to the Fact that you are God-Being, and here now is the only place you will ever realize “thy kingdom come in earth as it is in Heaven.”  We must awaken from the sleep of death, which is ignorance.

            The scripture tells us (John 5:3) that there were a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, and withered lying about that pool at Bethesda.  I wondered at one time how many Jesus stepped over to get to the one man to heal him, and why he only chose to heal only the one out of what appeared to be a great multitude.  Then it came to me, just as “there is no spoon,” and “there is no water,” there is no “impotent folk, no blind, halt, withered.”  He stepped over no one! This man by the pool was as a dream character, a thought, or parable which he used to show the unreality of a crippled hand or body.  Jesus saw him as he truly was, as only One can be, perfect, entire and wanting nothing.  Jesus simply asked him, “Wilt thou be made whole?” and it went from there. Jesus never touched him or performed any healing really. Neither was the man “slain in the spirit.” There were no theatrics. No one did anything. Jesus simply said, “Rise (Wake up!) Take up thy bed (- that thing that is used for sleep – in other words “Stop dreaming!”) and walk.” Simple! You are not sick. You are not crippled.  You are not diseased. You are NOT debilitated, disabled, deformed or dependent! You are God! You are the Consciousness which is LIFE ETERNAL and you have only to “Rise” – wake up to THIS FACT and you will walk away from all the nonsense of “this world” as well.

            This is so far beyond the “human mind,” which is no mind at all! There is only One Mind, The Christ Mind, or the God Mind, the God-Consciousness. Yes, you must be born again to see this, but you are told to “seek first the kingdom (consciousness) of God,” so do it! Simply be still and quiet. Listen to no man! Turn from every outward voice and hear the Voice of Silence, which is your true voice, the Voice of Father, the Voice of your Very Consciousness! Not “your conscience.” Forget the saying, “let your conscience be your guide.” You have no conscience.  You ARE Consciousness!  You either have a dream-like consciousness call the “human consciousness,” which is no more than a dream, from which you can awaken and see right through! OR you realize your True Consciousness, the God-Consciousness. 

            You will never prove this to anyone, so don’t even waste your time.  I cannot eat your food for you, I cannot drink your drink. I cannot sleep your sleep. I cannot realize your Self for you.  YOU alone can and will do that when you are against the wall, at the end of any thoughts about your little “self” life, which is a dream world – and that is all.  Take the ear of corn, unless the seed(thought) falls into the ground and dies, it cannot live! Your concept of “this world” must die. Your concept of your “self” must die – if you wish to LIVE!

            Jesus left a world of sick and dying behind, supposedly.  He was never concerned about the dying or the dead in the way that you feel you must be. He spent four days away when his friend Lazarus appeared to die, although Jesus flatly said that he was asleep, until the disciples pressed him to use their word for what they imagined to be so: dead - before he even showed up on the scene. Why? Because he didn’t care about Lazarus? Because he didn’t love Martha and Mary? No! Because he saw right through the illusion called death and said, “I AM the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE! NOW – Martha! NOW!”  I AM NOW all that I have ever been and all that I will ever be. I AM.  There is no “other”. There is only the I – that I am! 

            And so, you have also wondered about the hurricane, the storm, and the winds and the waves, with the same fear as the disciples. Scripture says that Jesus rebuked the wind and the waves and the disciples said that even the wind and the waves were subject to him, but you must remember that everything that is in the scripture is a parable in and of itself, and is there to show us things we cannot understand but that we see it in pictures, word pictures.  For instance, “water or waters” in scriptures represents thoughts.  A “well” is a source of supply.  “Birds” are thoughts, and on and on.  Thus, when Jesus “rebuked the wind and the waves”, he was rebuking the wind (turbulent thoughts), and the sea (reasoning – see John 6:18 – “the sea arose by ‘reason’ of a great wind”). You must see by the Spirit, for these things are spiritually discerned. “The natural (thinking) man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they spiritually discerned.” I Cor 2:14. Jesus rebuked the turbulent thoughts that caused fear to arise, and the sea of reasoning which always veils the Truth. There were no wind and waves to him as such. This account is the same as seeing “things” in a dream, and is nothing at all in Truth.  The “wind and waves” are only “real” to the one who is looking outwardly. 

            When Jesus came to them walking “on the water,” he had not traveled over many miles to come to them across the sea. He did not travel even hundreds of yards to get there, no, he did not see the wind and waves, nor even a sea, for he saw through the illusion of “this world,” and as you come into your right Mind, the Only Mind there is, the Christ Mind, the Enlightened Mind, you too will see “there are no wind and waves” as well. There is nothing which can trouble your Sea of Glass – your Christ Mind. You are the Sea of Tranquility, the Mighty Ocean of Life, the Great Water out of which flows the River of Life. Once you BE WHAT YOU ARE IN REALITY AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, you will find that out of your belly(Mind) will flow rivers of living water from this same Great Infinite Ocean of Life called God. There is no figuring anything out, nor reasoning of any sort which will enable you to understand - to be able to allay fear.  No, because in Spirit and in Truth there is nothing to fear.

            The turmoil in the “dreamer’s mind” is there to the dreamer only.  The one lying on the bed dreaming is not disturbed no matter what is going on in a dream.  If the dream becomes a nightmare it may cause him to awaken, and that would be a good thing, but otherwise a dream is a dream, is a dream, and it is only a dream, and yet – there is no dream! No dreamer!  It may all sound like a riddle, but it is the mystery which has been hidden, UNTIL the veil is removed. What is the “veil?” It is opinions, beliefs, arguments, reasoning and logic which remains over the inner eyes until one sees the Inner I. Once That Which is Perfect is come, i.e. your True Self is realized, those things are done away, for they are done away in Christ. They disappear. You no longer can think that way ever again and all arguments simply dissolve. All becomes as clear as crystal, all your needs are met, your world is changed, and your provision comes with you – whether it be home, companion, money, or things.  You seek not things anymore, but things come regardless.  You are coming into manifestation in this moment, and all comes with you. There would be no need if you were not.  But, because you ARE, there are needs which come with you, but these needs come with the supply to meet them at the same time, so that the need and the supply is essentially the same thing. All is new, beautiful, perfect and complete, for YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM.  Him? The One you Truly Are. Your True Self. The ONE you are in the darkest night, when you can see neither your hands nor your feet. When there is thick darkness – as thick as a man’s hand, so that you can see nothing – YOU are still aware. You are aware no matter what, aware that all is well, that YOU ARE.  That YOU, that one you call I, is the ONE that is AWARE in the darkest dark! That AWARENESS is the LIFE YOU ARE! 

            And, no, to answer your question, a “hurricane” is not a judgment sent by God. God does judge anyone. (John 5:22) “I judge no man.” Jesus said this in John 8:15, and he and “the Father” (Consciousness) are ONE.  God is ALL, therefore, there is no one to judge.  Do you judge the dream you had last night? Same thing.  Do you judge the “people” and circumstances which appeared to be in your dream last night? Of course not. Well, “this world” is a like a dream, so there is nothing to judge. 

            There is nothing wrong with asking questions, because they lead to the answer! The Answer is the Truth of your Being. But once the Truth of your Being is revealed unto you, the questions will become less and less, except those you ask your Self. 

The world is indeed round not flat as presupposed. And this “round world” is simply a parable showing the fact that you can traverse the world seeking the Truth, you can go all around the world in a manner of speaking - and you will find your SELF as the end of the circle! At the end of “your world.”

            “Others” who want to know the answer will not hear you except to their level of ability.  So, unless they come to you in earnest, wanting to know the Truth, not your opinion, not your belief, but because they hunger and thirst after righteousness, you will find that to try to tell them what their ears cannot hear will be casting your pearls before swine, and they might just turn and rend you with their words of ego and unbelief.  Leave it be! God, Life, Spirit, Love, Light, Mind, does not need your help to evangelize the world, or preach the gospel.  There is no world which needs evangelizing or saving.  There is Only Always the Perfect World, Heaven and earth combined in One, and thus Bliss or Nirvana, the State of Conscious Awareness, far and above what your concept of Heaven or earth ever might have been. No, God needs no one.  God, or Life, is fully able to “awaken my Beloved”, when It so pleases Life to do so.  And, “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me.” Who is this Me? And who is this men? “Me” is the one you are referring to when you say Me, when you use in its True context.  The TRUE ME is the One! And the men are they which appear to come, but they will only hear so much according to their level of understanding and according to how ready they are to hear, as well as their determination to “know the truth, know the Truth! KNOW THE TRUTH.” “When the student is ready, the Teacher will come,” and not before. But only Truth can recognize Truth and thus it is deep which will call to deep and deep will respond.  For the Deep is the Christ Self.  Come prepared to draw deeply.  Jesus told the woman at the well that the well is deep, and she had no bucket with which to draw. She was not prepared to receive - for she had a whole “past” she was dragging along with her when she approached the well.  We do not know the hour in which the Master Mind will come, but be prepared, for if you are dragging a past and a belief system, as well as a world you love along with you, you will not be able to receive from the Well. 

            Certainly the more you realize your God-Self, the more you wish to share what you know, because it is the “key to everything,” but you must wait for them to come to you, and even then, your “revelation” must become their revelation. They cannot live on your revelation.  When LIFE becomes LIFE to you, you will live it, breathe It, know IT, enjoy IT, but it is YOUR revelation. It must be yours, and you cannot make it “theirs” no matter how hard you may try. 

            LIFE, which is GOD, reveals Itself and you cannot teach It, you can only BE IT.  And YOU, as the High Priest on the day of AT-ONE-MENT, must go into the Most Holy Place ALONE! You must go alone, just as the High Priest in the tabernacle – had to go in alone. “Tabernacle” is a word which is defined as, “human body”, but since there is none, realize it is simply saying that even while you think you are in a human body, you must turn from the world of belief and enter into the Secret Place of the Most High Thought.  Realizing that you are the Temple, the Tabernacle, the dwelling place, the Holy Place, a building not made with hands, the building of God, you must go into the Holy of Holies – The God Consciousness -ALONE.  You must be willing to do it alone! This does not mean “loneliness,” but ALONENESS.

            And you will take no hidden agenda with you. You must be at the end of your self, your desires, your will, your way, your ideas, your world.  But you do not come in naked, though you may feel that you are at first. Quickly you find that you are robed in Righteousness and you are girded about with Truth even as you enter your Eternal State of Consciousness.  You realize that you are crowned with glory, i.e. you have the Mind of Light (Enlightened Mind).  You have a ring upon your finger, which is symbolic of Oneness, and you find that Light is your pulse now, Light is your Heart beat, for you are sustained, upheld, nourished and bathed in Light.    

            “In my flesh shall I see God.”  The world of flesh represents a consciousness – a false consciousness. If you have a fleshly consciousness you are worldly minded. If you are Spiritually Minded you will see God in your Flesh” - your Conscious Awareness, your Spirit Self.

            I do not walk in the “day of darkness” which would seem to be all around me if I believed the stories on the news. I see no darkness. Darkness and light are the same to Me.  I walk in the Light, because God is All, and God is Light, and I realize that LIGHT IS ALL – and thus I Am!  Jesus was pressed to the brow of the hill by a huge crowd wishing to take his life. He walked right through the crowd and they who were so intent on “him” that you know they didn’t take their eyes off him. He was the object of their objection, but somehow they did not even see him pass through their midst. His escape was made easy in that he “went to the Father-Consciousness” and became invisible to “this world” as “this world” became invisible to him. You too, will pass through the midst of the so-called circumstances which “appear” to be round about you, when you realize your True I-dentity, and “they” will not even note your passing! “They” are too self absorbed in the dream.  You are an enigma to them, and “they” are but a dream to you.    

            There are no “spirits which have gone on before.” Spirits – plural – are thoughts which have gone on before – went on before we knew Who we are!  If you have not read my writing “The Body” I suggest you read it.  There is no one who has ever died, and “no man hath ascended up to heaven.” (John 3:13).  God is All and All is One in Heaven right now. It simply depends upon one’s state of mind, or perspective, or point of view. Are you down looking up, or Up looking down?  YOU are in Heaven now, so you declare it! Do a 180! Change perspectives and see the world as “down there,” and you will realize how small it is. Then it will begin decreasing as “I” increase. It will grow smaller and smaller to you until it is just no longer there.

            Judgment day came and went when I saw through the illusion called “this world.” The thoughts regarding a “mortal body” came and went when I saw through the dream-world of appearances and realized What I Am.  I still appear to this world, at this moment, but I know What I Am and that “knowing” changes everything.    

            I Am that I Am. I have no “brothers or sisters.”  God does not have a family, no brothers or sisters, mothers or dads, or grandparents.  GOD is ALL! “He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He (your True Self) revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth in him.” (Dan 2:22)

            If you wish to know God, to know your True Self, then go within and all the secret things of God, the deep things of the Spirit will be revealed to you in the moment, moment by moment, revelation by revelation. You already know all things, according to I John 2:20, and all need only to be revealed, recalled, remembered and re-cog-nized! 

            Come and BE what you are! Take your eyes off “this world.” Set your mind on things above, because then your mind will be kept in Perfect Peace, because that is WHAT you are: The One Mind, the Mind at Peace, knowing: All is well – and “Nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Know Heaven in your earth. Know freedom and peace. Know Life as Life knows you!  Know thy Self! Let your earth keep silent.  Be still and recognize the Silence, for in It you will be enveloped in Life and Love, and the things of “this world” will truly grow more and more dim.  For surely: God is All.
