Deepening into Truth

7/27/2013

0 Comments

 
I have been through an amazing process of deepening into Truth and integrating the power and presence of God within me. 
Words from Silence: An Invitation to Spiritual Awakening by Leonard Jacobson


This is what I am as well doing presently, "Deepening into Truth." I am learning from these Words, this Wisdom that come to me. I feel I am to do more with all that I am being given, given so continually and in time I will. For God's Will be done through me as I surrender my own will so completely. ~ Deb

Sharing Insights

7/24/2013

I say as I say and share as I do the lessons that come to me for me. I share them with others in hope that if they so resonate they may take what they need from them. All I receive as such inspiration, I only receive it because I so need it. Thus, it is my wish that what I share does not come across as "preaching" but instead "sharing insights" that have helped me. But, alas the word whether written or spoken is hindered as it goes forth as it is first received in the mind and each mind that so receives interprets from it's own perspective. All in Love ~ Deb

When Realization Awakens

Tears of JOY and THANKSGIVING come over me as I began to read. "Did I write this?" I wonder, for the WORDS and MESSAGE are the same as I continually receive. From One AUTHOR, ONE SOURCE OF ALL this WISDOM comes. Oh, what a JOY IT IS, THIS TRUTH TO LIVE AND KNOW. ~ Deb

"In the Silence of my soul, I listened to the Lord"

The Divine Word by Brother Mandus
(1907 - 1988) Founder of the World Healing Crusade


"I AM your Heavenly Father, and I come to you now as the living Presence
within your own being. There comes a time in the life of all My Children when
realization awakens. There comes a time when those who have already
experienced My Love are ready to be lifted into an even higher state of
consciousness. Because I am your Father I am forever creating ways for you
to expand your consciousness in harmony with My Own Perfection.

Turn away from the World for awhile and listen to Me! Forget yourself and
realize that I am God, the Christ Spirit within you now. You and I are one. We
never can be separated because you are of My Own Being. My Life is your
life. My Mind is your mind. My Love is your love. You are exactly as I am in
miniature, with the same eternal life and an infinite potential for increasingly
wonderful expression. You are because I am.

I have been with you from the beginning and I never cease to bathe you in My
Love. I lead you, protect and cherish you as My Own. In all My Realms of
material Worlds and spiritual heavens I have only one you. I created you that
you may grow in love, wisdom, knowledge and joy. I see for you adventures
beyond your greatest dreams. I long for you to take all the gifts which I have
prepared for you. As quickly as you learn to know Me you will realise that I
can only give you everything you desire. All I have, all I am, is your own for
you to accept.

I AM the Perfect Life within you. I am health and happiness, peace and
prosperity, love and laughter, wisdom and all knowledge. I am the abundant
life. All these things you already possess in My Spirit. My Universe has been
evolved through My Own Being. I hold it poised in My Mind. I live in the midst
of it. I am the Life that springs forth in trees and flowers and in every growing
plant and fruit. I am the Life and Beauty of the World and of Man.

Wherever your vision rests, there am I. You cannot mistake My Presence, for
I reveal Myself in countless ways. So many of My Children have become blind
to the Reality, to the evidence of My Presence. They accept themselves, and
all your wonderful World, without thought and deny My Almighty Love and
Intelligence which makes it all possible. They neither believe the evidence of
their own senses, nor the truth so obvious in their own beings.

But you I lift into My Consciousness now. I redeem you from blindness and
give you clear vision. I call you out of the World into your Kingdom within
where I can commune with you, and give you guidance, wisdom,
understanding and truth. I expand your soul in My Love and send you forth to
cultivate a greater love, a greater power, and to create with Me a more
wonderful way than you have ever known.

Every day you have your problems. But when you know I am with you there is
nothing to fear. If you will continue to be poised in My Spirit, I am
instantaneous Perfection in the midst of all seeming chaos, illness or
tribulation. You will overcome the World in My Strength.

You can live but one moment at a time. This moment is the only one that is of
any consequence to you. Therefore I charge you to fill it with simple trust in
Me, and with perfect love. That is the answer to every subsequent moment as
it dawns.

There is no difficulty, no illness, no seeming tragedy that is too great for My
Love to overcome. But when you insist on turning away from Me to dwell in
fear or worry on the difficulty, I must stand aside until you come back to Me. I
can only manifest My Perfection in you when you allow Me to do so. That is
your right of choice, the perfect freedom I give to you to think and live as you
wish.

My Law is Perfect. I know you will eventually live in complete harmony with
Me and thus enter perfect happiness and achievement. You are, as yet, but
learning how to live as a free being. The time has come when you shall really
begin to claim your spiritual freedom through a clearer, simpler understanding
of My Presence.

I want you to know that My Great Law is Love. It is the Great Law because I
am Love, and all things that are perfectly created are done through the Power
of thought expressed in Love.

Therefore to the extent you live in love, forgetting and sacrificing self in
service, you become one with Me. It is fundamental to your health and
happiness that you shall Love with all your heart and mind. You shall love
your family, friends and neighbours. More important you shall love those who
hurt you, your so-called enemies, be they individuals or nations. I love all, for I
am all.

When you are in the throes of conflict and your mind turns to anger,
resentment and bitterness, remember that you are hating Me. The bitterness
of your distorted thoughts, often translated into harmful physical action, not
only destroys the well-being of others, but produces spiritual, mental and
physical illness in you. I never will illness upon My Children.

You shall learn to love all, and through your understanding, to forgive all.
When you become aware of evil coming to you, the only answer is to see Me,
the Perfect Christ within the other. That is the Man you shall love. Then you
can forgive the outer man, and be compassionate, for if he despitefully uses
you, he does so out of ignorance of My Law. Love him, pray for him, forgive
him, then you lift him up to Me and I lift you up also.

From this moment let love be your constant companion, then I shall be with
you, too. Love your people, love your work. Do all things as a loving service
for Me. Every moment will then be filled with joy, and power and success, for I
shall sustain you in everything you do.

The other Law you need to know is the Law of Mind which insists, necessarily
that an experience can only become real to you when you recognise it. What
ever you accept in consciousness becomes real. You exercise your faith
every time you do this. You have faith in the ground you walk upon, faith in
the life within you, faith in the Sun and the rain, faith in the chairs and bed you
use, faith in your ability to come here or go there. All such experiences you
daily accept as Reality and thus they become concrete experience.

It is this Law which naturally must operate when you think of Me. I too can
only become a Reality when you consciously accept Me as Real. When you
know I am the Almighty Love, Wisdom, intelligence and all good within you,
you are free forever.

From this moment I charge YOU to fill your life with love and to trust Me in all
things. Ask and I am instantly the Perfect Answer. Give me your burdens, and
I will disperse them. Forget the ills you hold so closely by remembering Me.
Forgive yourself in loving Me, and serving all. I am your Lord, and when you
keep your mind filled with the knowledge that health, joy, Prosperity and
everything that is Perfect are now pouring into your life they become your
own."

GOD BLESS YOU!

As Per Emerson's Suggestion

7/23/2013

“Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Delight! Enjoy! God is not a thing. God is an attitude – an attitude of
celebration and festivity. Drop all sadness. God is so close – dance!
Drop long faces… It is sacrilege as He is so close by. Forget your
childish miseries and worries; He is so close by. Don’t go on brooding
about immaterial things; He is so close by. Allow Him to hold your
hand. He has been waiting for you for long.” ~Osho
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”
― E.E. Cummings
“You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”
― Anne Lamott
One should never apologize for living in truth. For a meaningful life is lived in truth. ~ Nelline Naidoo
“Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.” ― Brian L. Weiss
“The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.”
― Rob Bell

Friends for the Journey

7/7/2013

Letting go and going on is part of life. I have learned that it is okay to have "FRIENDS FOR THE JOURNEY." We walk together for awhile and then may part ways. Sometimes we may meet up again, as we find ourselves once more in the same place. I've had "FRIENDS FOR THE JOURNEY," while in school, raising kids, sharing a cab, riding in an elevator, even shopping for produce at store. Friends are everywhere, no one is to be ignored. - Debra Clemente

He Speaks My Language

7/3/2013

1 Comment

 
The writings that follow are from the hand and heart of  Walter C. Lanyon, (1887 -1967). I hear very clear the Voice of Love within these Words.    Blessed be the ears that hear.



"I heard the laughter of God in the midst of me and within the world, and all was suddenly changed. Old patterns and ideas were shattered and passed away -- a new loveliness of LIFE was exposed to view."
"Everything that is effective in this life is present tense and first person."
"I know you cannot teach the Word of God. It must be given and you must hear it and no matter how many courses you may have in what seminaries, with what learned theologians you've studied, what time you have spent in silence and everything else, unless you do one simple thing that a child can do, you can't have it. And that single thing is you HEAR. By hearing, I mean you HEAR. Not hear."

"You are going to be glad to let it flow through you. You're going to have the integrity to do whatsoever you're told."


"I can speak to you through ANYTHING. Now you can go ... you're alright. I don't have to have a preacher or a lecturer or a teacher ... anything else. I can speak to you through anything. But, the question is, can you hear Me? When I say to you a certain thing, through a man that doesn't know one thing about you, you say, "What does he know about?" He doesn't know anything. But the Voice has spoken. If you can hear it, you can hear it. If you can't, you can't. And you'd be surprised to know when you begin to hear how I speak to you through anything ... and how it takes shape and form and you find something happening in your life."
Singing in the heart of you is this glorious Truth --- "No man hath revealed this unto thee" --- no man could. Your recognized Christ hath revealed it to you --- and as you press farther into this Light you will begin to SEE and to KNOW something of the Height and Depth and Majesty of the Lord, in which you live, move, breathe and have your being. You have your BEING or actual existence in this God, and so the moment you enter into this Presence consciously you begin to LIVE --- to experience LIFE.
 

I speak to you --- the new order of things is at hand and it is the time of its appearance ... Newer and fresher capacities shall be yours; you will find yourself in possession of wisdom necessary to perform that which you formerly thought impossible of attainment, and, strange as it may seem for the moment, you shall presently find that it is quite natural. The moment you overtake a truth or become conscious of it, at that instant you also realize that you have always known that truth, and that there has never been a time in your life when you did not have it actively in expression.

What matter what a thousand books say? What matter what a thousand sermons preach? You have entered into a reality where, having eyes, ye see, and ears, ye hear, that which the limited human sight and hearing is incapable of experiencing. You will flee then from the man whose breath is in his nostrils, who is still trying to sell you his John Smith brand of truth --- who is forever talking about the healings he has made or experienced; for you will be in a place where there is nothing to heal; there is only revelation to be brought out. You shall be silent and serene and joyous; a song will be singing deep in your heart that the world cannot help but see.


Gradually confidence is established in the God power which is constantly revealing itself to the one who is ready to lay aside the human accoutrements and accept the glorious Power of the Sons of God. Confidence to stand, having done all --- having recognized the eternal rightness of the God universe --- he is unafraid to rest. He pushes the borders of his tent farther out into glorious new fields of untried expression, and finds to his joyous surprise that new avenues are opening up to him. Undreamed-of possibilities lie before him --- for at last he has come to a place where he believes in the reality of the Kingdom as here and now, and himself as revelator.
