Don’t Wait For A “Demonstration”

This excerpt is from Paul Gorman’s book, The Giving Self (The Immediate I). Big Sur Publishing in the UK was owned by Paul Gorman. It was his publishing company that first published my second book, Sounds of the Trumpet.

Change What You Accept And Change The Evidence

We read books, attend classes, and seek spiritual counsel. Yet we seem content to end each day still missing the fullness of harmony that is our very own Being, and ours to tangibly experience each and every day. This is strange because Spirit is what we Are and what we have; Spirit is All-Present already – fully finished, complete, omnipresent; therefore immediately available to your experience in Its fullness of harmony each and every day.

It is only individual acceptance that “we do not yet have the material harmony we want and need” that obscures it from our tangible experience. Change what you accept and you change what is tangibly evident in your experience.

Parable Of The Lost Child

Imagine if you lost sight of your young child in the park. Would you accept that appearance and walk home without her? You wouldn’t dream of it! You would start looking harder. You would look here and there, and another one thousand places until you found her. Only then would you walk home, with her.

The Three Essential Steps

The secret of evidencing an infinity of spiritual Good is a very similar process and discipline. Let’s say you are experiencing a lack of money – but the same applies for any appearance of lack, limitation or discord:

First you realize the nature of the appearing lack-its nothingness, its illusion. It is just an image of lack produced by the fogginess of the mind senses but not in any way real. Second, you close your eyes, go within, get quiet and still, then simply wait for the glow of Spirit to make Itself felt in one way or another – as a sense of peace or calm or release from the outer scene, or joy or heat or light, or even just a nice feeling of silence and safety deep within your being. Third, when you feel Spirit happening within you know that the “demonstration” of supply has “been made and you get up and go about your business in full confidence that the supply you felt within will now become visible in one way or another in the outer.

But do you? Do you really know that the invisible supply will quickly become evident in the “outer?” Or do you “walk home” accepting that it “has not yet appeared” but hopefully will tomorrow or next week? It is unfortunate but this “acceptance” of separation from Good results in just so many days weeks, months or years in a lack experience. Spirit is not evidenced where the “lacking consciousness exists; yet Spirit is evidenced continuously, and in all its free flowing abundance where the “I Have” consciousness exists.

Let’s say that one or two hours after this meditation your good was still not evident. What do you do? In the same way as you would look and look and look for your child until you found her, you “look and look and look” until your good appears tangibly. In the case of spiritual demonstration “look and look and look means have “more silence, more silence and still more silence” until the dawning of a greater spiritual awareness within takes place.

Don’t Walk Away Without Your Child

Do not walk away without your demonstrated good! The problem is not that your good is not present but that you cannot yet see it. That’s a whole different ball game. If it was truly absent we have a different problem, and a more difficult one. We would have to go off searching for it somewhere, or perhaps manufacturing it somehow. But the infinity of Spirit and everything Spirit Is and Has, is right where you are – “closer than breathing”, so we need not go searching anywhere for It.

Our “problem” is that of not “seeing clearly”, rather than of not “getting”. Our immediate Good – the complete, overflowing Fulfilment of the appearing need – is present where we are. All we have to do is “see” It. In the same way as we would not walk home without having our child we do not walk home without having our Good tangibly, materially, physically in our hands So we keep re-entering the Silence, our Silent Self, the Silence which Is the One Form of All. We keep knowing that our Good is present in Its Fullness and that we are only being silent so that we may see what Is the finished Kingdom of Allness spread all over the earth, at our feet. We keep on and keep on entering the silence letting and letting Spirit become more brightly illumined in our withinness – until – there It Is! the Peace, Joy Light actually felt as a happening within. Now we “see” our Good tangibly, right there in our withinness, overflowing.

Can you imagine the great Master accepting that the crowds were hungry yet being unable to feed them? Can you imagine Him walking home that night without having “demonstrated” all the tangible supply needed to satisfy the crowd’s hunger with “twelve basketsful left over? Of course not!

We must have the same sense and commitment to the immediacy or spontaneity of Spiritual Allness. Your infinite Good is present with you this very minute, in actual Form. It is Spiritual Form the only Form there is. It always has been with you and always will be “closer than breathing”, in infinite measure. Your, and my, only need is to be still and silent enough, often enough, to have the omnipresent Good “shine through” the dense fog of the mind, into tangible visibility. That is all. There is nothing else to the demonstration of all the Spiritual Good in the universe.

From this hour onward, whenever good appears to be so distant from you, do not accept that appearance. Know that All Good and Perfect Existence is right there where you are, in Its fullness. Do not read more pages, do not listen to more audios, do not attend more classes. Simply go back and back and back into the infinite storehouse of Silence, and there, in the deep withinness , with a little, or sometimes a lot of, persistence and patience you will soon discover your Good right in front of you “pressed down, pouring out, running over”-“rolling in ecstasy at your feet”.

Getting The Most Out Of A Truth Statement (Top-Ten)

gorman

From Paul Gorman’s The Miracle Self: (starting with page 196)

Step 1. Take a single statement of truth, or no more than three or four, related to your favorite or most pertinent need or desire. For instance, if your need has to do with a health issue select one, two, three or four statements that talk of the One life, the One power, the One form, One presence.

When you’ve selected your one to four statements, use them like this: Take the one which today holds the most meaning or wonder for you.  Live with that one Truth statement all day, every hour, every minute. Rehearse and rehearse it in your mind all day and evening. Never for a moment let it go from your awareness. Keep it glowing in the background of your mind as you go about your work or family duties…

But here’s the secret: after every repetition of the statement in your mind, stop and allow it to percolate in your being; to gently sink in of its own accord and flow through the depths of your being by stopping your thinking for a few minutes.

Additional to the constant rehearsing-then-moment-of-silence…have at least three or four periods throughout the day of ten to twenty minutes in the Silence, in meditation, where you stop all thoughts and stop all words and just gently relax, surrender…

Tomorrow, you can work with a different one of your statements, or stick with the same one for days or weeks. It is often best to work with just one statement for weeks upon weeks because it takes just one, sufficiently realised as being the Truth of being, to open the floodgates of the infinite in your life; just one.

Know What You Need To Know, When You Need To Know It

Questions Sign Allen White God Is All

Below is an excerpt from Joel Goldsmith’s Infinite Way. This same idea has been written by Marie Watts and Lillian DeWaters.

Have A Problem? Here’s What To Do

Whenever we are faced with a problem, regardless of its nature, seek the solution within your own consciousness. Instead of running around here and there, instead of seeking an answer from this or that person, instead of looking for the solution outside of yourself, turn within.

Your Perfect Answer Is Assured

In the quiet and calm of your own mind, let the answer to your problem unfold itself. If, the first or second or third time you turn in peace to the kingdom within, you fail to perceive the completed picture, try again. You will not be too late, nor will the solution appear too late. As you learn to depend on this means for the working out of your problems and experiences, you will become more and more adept in quickly discerning your mind’s revelation of harmony.
