The Whirling Dervish Was Spot-On

If someone asked you to point to yourself, would you point a finger at your Body? Most people would. But while you are pointing, be aware that your Self is not confined to the outline of your Body. Your Self, reader, is infinite – Infinity Itself. Your Self is unlimited. Your Self is unconfined. Your very Being is boundless.

One Sunday morning, I heard a speaker reveling in the realization of her Infinite Self. She sashayed up and down the aisles, spinning like a whirling dervish. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the church, were flowering trees and rose blossoms. With her outstretched arms, fingers pointing to them as she spun, she blared, “Look at me! I am beautiful.”

Yes, it was over-the-top. Dropped jaws covered the sanctuary floor, yet she was spot on. She realized that her Self was not confined to her Body form.

Reader, you are not confined to your Body form. True, you include your Body in your I AM, but never are you confined to this wonderful form. If you were confined to your Body, God (the Infinite All) would be confined to that form. This is impossible!

You and God are one. As God is the Infinite All, you are the Infinite All. Now, let’s make this practical.

The I Am Exercise

Walk through your home, your garden, the mall, the workplace, etc. When your eyes rest on anything or anyone, instead of calling that thing or person by its human name, call it by its real name (nature) – I AM.

You may see a tall, majestic building. Call it I AM. You may see a mighty oak tree. Call it I AM. You may see a daffodil or a dandelion. Again, call it I AM. Your eyes may rest on something as insignificant as a paperclip. Call it I AM. You will see many dollar bills. Call them I AM. This will do wonders in clearing up any seeming separation between your Self and your Supply.

When you call these things I AM, you are really saying, “I (my Self) AM THE I AM (of this person or thing appearing before me) and THIS I AM (person or thing) IS THE I AM THAT IS my Self.” Here you have one Infinite, Indivisible I AM Presence and Power.

Do this exercise every day for thirty days. Put your heart into it. Get into the I AM of it, and your experience will be showered with so-called blessings. And with each blessing, you will know that it is only I AM experiencing its ALLNESS.

Free Yourself From Seeming Bondage

The Christ-Life is nothing less than God’s Life. It is God’s full manifestation of Himself. Your tangible Christ-withinness was never in a mortal personality. To regard yourself as a person is to think of yourself as limited, restricted and fearful. In the recognition of your Christ-selfhood, you are free from the bondage of living as a person.

How Right You Are!

The realm of Christ is the realm of radiant being. It is not the realm of person, either knowing the truth or not knowing the truth. You are not a person seeking to do right. You are spiritual rightness – the rightness itself.

Here’s Where Your Power Is

Never think of yourself as a person defending the right, but as divine Mind’s full manifestation of all that is right. This Christ-rightness is of itself the power which appears to us as an impregnable force.

No Mortality In Christ

To live the Christ way is to acknowledge your true identification as the Christ-consciousness itself. This consciousness includes no mortal sense of yourself, no mortal sense of anything , or of any one, and is thus the “strongest deliverer” from all the discord originating in the mortal, mistaken approach to existence.

Now – Not Later

The Christ way is to see all from the standpoint of God – never from the human standpoint … The Christ way is the way of divine immediacy, free from the mortal way of process, of hoping and waiting. It is the glorious now, with no thought or fear of a rainy day ahead.

Below is an excerpt from Lillian DeWater’s booklet The Time Is At Hand.

To everyone who would practice Understanding there must come the willingness to renounce belief in mental action. He must know that the Truth is not thought, that the Truth is not a result of mind, but that Truth is Divine Intelligence in operation.

It is not sufficient to perceive that sickness is a dream, but one must see also that there is no personal mind believing in sickness.It is not enough to say that sin is forgiven, but one must come to admit that the sin was never sinned.

It is a step up to discern that sorrow and limitation are the results of false thinking and living, but it is a step higher still to discern that there was never a mistake made, that there is no one who believes in mistakes and in sin.Disease and death were never included in the Intelligent activity of the All-Good.

Above is an actual news alert published by the National Weather Service warning that lives could be lost and property are in danger of being destroyed.

Since it warns us of ever changing and potentially life-threatening weather conditions, some folk think the National Weather Service is a godsend. I appreciate them, but I confess that whenever I see or hear the word conditions, an internal buzzer goes off – something like the smoke detector in my kitchen when the fillets sizzling in the grill pan get a little smoky.

When you hear or read the words “weather conditions” does something seem a little fishy? Something is! The phrase suggests an impossibility. The Infinite All, which we call God, is changeless and unconditioned. Yet the weather, conditioned by many factors, supposedly changes. So here’s where we are left: Either the Allness of God is a lie or so-called weather conditions are a lie. For you, which is it?

Many years ago, during the Winter months, two members of my congregation and I formed a “Weather Team.” Here’s how we defined our purpose: “to realize and acknowledge that right where changing weather and weather extremes seem to be, GOD IS, LOVE IS, JOY IS, PEACE IS.”

We stayed with the Truth that the only condition is the UNCONDITIONED ONE; the only Environment is GOD enjoying its own unchallenged being and presence; and the only experience is LOVE experiencing Itself. Every day, for months, we joined together knowing that this IS the reality right where changing weather conditions seemed to be. Our prayers were very effective.

After two years, the “team” disbanded. However, you and I can be a team simply by daily reminding ourselves that there are no weather conditions. There is just God. – the Unconditioned One.

Nature’s Lesson On Enlightened Living

“Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not…” These are the words of Christ Jesus from his legendary Sermon on the Mount. What could the disciples possibly learn from gazing at lilies? A simple lesson in living: Life should be effortless. I think you sense this. And I think you have already surmised that the key to effortless living is a conscious awareness that God Is All of All — as All.

No Toiling Necessary

Reader, I believe that the conscious awareness of God As All ranks high on your priority list. You are sincere about it, but do consider the lilies: they neither toil nor spin. Your conscious awareness of God should be effortless! Toiling and spinning for spiritual enlightenment is no more commendable than toiling and spinning for daily supply. And here’s why.

You Are The Light Of The World

You are already a completely illumined being. You already know all the Truth you ever will know. Your Consciousness (God being Conscious) is vibrantly aglow with the Light of Truth — as the Light of Truth. Prayer is not a struggle for more Light. In the clearest way I can express it, prayer is the Self gazing at Itself.

In my past life (before the ministry), I used to hang out with a woman who was double-head-turning beautiful. And she knew it. Every time she passed her reflection she side-glanced and gave herself an approving smile. She wasn’t trying to become more beautiful. She was simply — perhaps egotistically — admiring and acknowledging her beauty.

Sunrise Praying

When you pray a simple prayer like, “God, reveal Thyself,” that prayer is a mirror giving you an opportunity, through Silence, to acknowledge and behold the Light that you are. Yes, there are times that you make new discoveries in prayer. But they are discoveries and not creations. Those marvels have always been there.

Beloved, don’t struggle for enlightenment as if you must get it from some outside or separate source. Let prayer be an effortless letting rather than an effortful getting. It does no more good to reach within than to reach without. Stop reaching. Be still, and let Revelation be as easy and quiet as the rising sun. The Light you seem to seek is the LIGHT YOU ARE.
