Absolutely Yours

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.
