Accept and Acknowledge This — Often

This excerpt is by Lillian DeWaters, an early author of the Absolute.

When you find a teaching which proclaims, I am the living Truth, then you have heard the real Jesus-Christ-Message which is destined to free you .

Jesus taught, “I am the Truth,” while the present day teaching regarding your self is to the contrary; for you have been taught to believe that you are not the Truth, – but man, the student; not Life, – but its expression; not the Way – but the follower of it.

What a difference it makes to your vision and experience to be the Truth and the Life, rather than a student applying Truth to your problem! So long as you consider yourself a student shall you find yourself confronted with problems. For are not problems part of the life of a student?

If you seek knowledge, what shall be the knowledge that will completely satisfy you? Surely nothing but the established-from-the-beginning fact that I, myself, am the Way the Truth, and the Life.

The facts which Jesus taught about himself must inevitably be the ones which you are to see as true of your self, else what advantage are they to you?

Definitely, the greatest fact you can learn is the knowledge that you are the living Truth. As you come into the positive and luminous awareness of this eternal verity, all lesser viewpoints are bound to completely leave you.

Jesus knew that he was the Truth Itself, the Life Itself, the Way Itself, and he said so. He took this stand as the fact of Being, thus nothing could ever hurt him, affect or destroy him. Let people think they could lay hold of him. They found themselves grasping at thin air. Let them attempt to kill him. They saw him walking about in their midst, unharmed.

All things may appear to change and vary; but true Being remains ever the same. It holds Itself invincible, infallible, indissoluble; true and absolute, always.

Until you see and feel that you are the Truth … and not man, the idea or student … you shall always be trying to get out of difficulties called problems.

To the Truth, all is perfection; and to the one Being, all is the perfect Whole. Thus for you to ever be perfect, changeless, pure and incorruptible, you must now be the Truth, and nothing less.

This Will Assure You Of A Great Year

Which Would You Rather Be?

She describes it as an astonishing Revelation that shifted her entire viewpoint on knowing Truth. The Revelation: “I am the Principle and not a student at all.”

Before this inner discovery, Lillian DeWaters said she was alone, considering the plight of the math student. DeWaters reasoned that students of mathematics would always face an endless round of problems. Suddenly she cried out, “O’ to be the Principle instead of the student.”

Like a streak of lightning, it flashed in her consciousness – “I am the Principle and not a student at all.” Of course her actual discovery was: I am the Principle of Truth and not the student of Truth.

Basking in this discovery, she often reminded herself, “I am not trying to do, to think or to know something; but I am doing, feeling and being the Truth of Life and the Way.” Every area of DeWaters’ life was touched and polished by this grand discovery: I AM THE PRINCIPLE OF TRUTH.

Do This One Thing For A Great Year

Reader, I know that you want this so-called new year to be a magnificent year. At the very least, you would like some assurance that this year will be a great year. It can be. Here is the way: MAKE ONE SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY THIS YEAR.

Not something read. Not something heard. This discovery must rise from the vast ocean of Truth that is your Consciousness. It may be a quiet bubble of realization, or it may flash like a streak of lightning. One thing is for sure. Your viewpoint will make a wonderful shift. You’ll “see” everything and everyone through the lens of this discovery. Without lifting a finger, astonishing things will happen. To so-called others, it will look like lady luck is finally smiling on you. Yet you will know that it simply is the Kingdom of Heaven revealing Itself more clearly.

How To Proceed

Are you wondering how to proceed? It starts with a desire to know and experience more Truth (God) than your present knowledge and experience. Then, with this desire as your motivation, you take a deep dive (via listening prayer) into the unchartered depths of your God Consciousness. Pearls of discovery await you. And, so does a great year – perhaps your best ever.

Who Are You?

The following excerpt is by Absolute author, Lillian DeWaters from her book, Who Am I?

I have taken the liberty to make some changes. The changes make the text easier to read and understand.

Today, many are wondering why they do not accomplish more through their study and prayer. Reader, are you one of these? Do you question, Why does not God, the Truth, heal me entirely? Why am I not quickly brought into prosperity and success? Why must I wait longer?

The reason why one has not known the correct answers to these questions sooner, and so found the true solution to the problems at hand, is because he thinks from the mistaken viewpoint that he is not the One Identity, not the One Life, not the One Being, but another being called man.

So long as you believe yourself to be someone besides the “I,” you can never understand nor experience the Truth of your Being.

Tragically enough, however, if you do not know and identify yourself as the perfect Self, but with an assumed personality or mentality, you live in mystification and ignorance. Assuming another identity, you become weak, sick, poor, and limited in every direction.

Moreover your whole existence now becomes a search to find yourself – to find Truth, to find love, peace and immortality. Your one idea now is to become what you already are – strong, well, wealthy, happy and satisfied.

Never, can you, or anyone, truly realize your hope to be well and happy, prosperous and satisfied so long as you identify your “I” with anyone but God – the One Alone.

Listen! There is but ONE God, ONE Self; ONE I; ONE Life; ONE Being. Therefore, to believe that you are another – such as image, idea, expression, man – is to be self-deceived … and thus at the mercy of your own misconception.

To illustrate. Every time anyone seeks to change or spiritualize his thinking, he is unwittingly identifying himself with a personal mind.

Furthermore, every time one attempts to heal his body of discord or disease through some kind of thought or prayer, he is ignorantly identifying himself with perishable flesh.

Really, you are not separate, apart from Me, nor other than I AM. Aware of the truth of Being, you can say – “I am the Truth now.”
