This Is Better Than Good Outcomes

Earth – The Planet Of Doing And Accomplishing

“Our globe has been called Number Five, the planet of works, since everybody and everything must accomplish something or be nobody and nothing.” Those are the words of Emma Curtis Hopkins from her book High Mysticism.

Everybody seems to be working to accomplish something. Some are working for career success, and others are working to attain great wealth. Some are trying to achieve peace of mind, and others are struggling to attain spiritual enlightenment. As they work, they look around to see if there are any results from their labor. Daily they ask themselves: When is it going to happen? Why hasn’t it happened for me? What am I doing wrong?

A Better Way To Live

There is a better way to live. That way is best explained in an email sent to me by an enlightened friend. In it he wrote:

“Humans have a tendency to be preoccupied with outcomes whereas what really concerned Jesus or the Christ man was his status. Because Jesus understood his unchangeable status as the image of God he was never actually concerned about outcomes.”

Being All Is Better Than Achieving All

It seems absurd that merely shifting your focus from thoughts of getting and achieving to understanding your Identity can result in a fulfilling and successful life. Yet is it so farfetched? Imagine you are the owner of two cars: One has a full tank of gas, and the other is almost empty. Which car is going to get you to the next town without stopping? Discovering the truth of your Identity is like finding your once empty tank full of gas.

Once Christ Jesus discovered the Truth of his Identity, he always ran on full – fulfilled. So-called human beings, hurrying and scurrying to accomplish and achieve, are like near-empty tanks hunting for a gas pump.

When Jesus discovered the Truth of his Identity, he made another discovery: I have All because I AM All. From that day on Christ never concerned himself with results. Why should he? In the realization of his Identity, he achieved All.

Are You Willing To Try Something Different?

For years, perhaps, you’ve focused your attention on results. And if you tell the truth, there’s no respite from result-focused living. Reader, this is no way to live! Therefore, I’m asking you one question: Are you willing to try something different? If you are, try Jesus’ method – at least for thirty days.

Just for one month, focus your heart and mind on discovering the Truth of your Identity. Nothing you’ve read or heard counts. This discovery must be by inner Revelation.

The process is simple. Every prayer or meditation must have one purpose only – Self discovery. This means each prayer period will have a point of silent listening to hear the “Voice of Revelation.” Try it. If you have any questions, send me an email. One thing is for certain, it will be a great month of discovery.

Understanding Your Desires

Strike The Word From Your Vocabulary

What do you desire? More important, why do you desire it? Is it because you feel something is missing from your experience? Humanly speaking (and I can’t imagine why anyone would do too much of that), desire and lack are joined at the hip.

Let’s continue from the spiritual point-of-view. Does God desire? Your answer, I’m sure, is, “No, Allen, God being the One Infinite, Indivisible Presence is All and therefore has All. And, Allen, now that I think about it, that word should be struck from my vocabulary.”

Desire Is An Alert – Not An Alarm

You and God are (is) One – the same One. You have All because the I of your Being is All. You are eternally complete. Yet, we do seem to have desires. Why do we have them? Imagine you are waiting for a pizza delivery. Twenty minutes pass, and the doorbell rings. What does that bell signify to your salivating mouth? The presence or absence of the pizza? Yes, the bell signifies the presence of something you desired. Similarly, desire is an alert signifying the presence of something that seems to be absent. If desire could talk it would say, “Don’t overlook me. I’m here.”

Every Desire Alerts You To God’s Presence

Every desire signifies the presence of a spiritual (God) quality. Take a look at these God-qualities:

  • Life
  • Wholeness
  • Joy
  • Infinity
  • Beauty
  • Love/Peace (Oneness)
  • Eternality
  • Completeness

You can trace every so-called human desire back to one or more of these God-qualities.

Someone once asked, “Allen, what about my neighbor’s wife? Sometimes I have desires for her. How do you explain that – spiritually speaking?” In a nutshell, that desire symbolizes the Presence of Completeness.

Simple – But Will You Do It?

Let’s move this from the theoretical to the practical. Whenever a desire emerges, rejoice. Rejoice because the desire is saying, “I think you’ve overlooked me. All you have to do is acknowledge my Presence and understand why I am present, and you will experience my Presence.” Do you understand why the seeming desire is present? It’s because God is Present. Therefore all the qualities of God are Present, and they are present right where you are.

Don’t spin and scurry around trying to get God (or any aspect of God). Simply acknowledge that God is present as that particular aspect of Itself. If you will do this without wavering, you’ll experience the Presence of that which seemed to be absent.

If this unwavering acknowledgment doesn’t seem to work, get busy praying to understand that the entirety of God is present in your life (as your life) right now and always.
