Universal Sea of Light

To realize that God is the only power, substance, and intelligence may be confusing at first. But when man does realize the true nature of God and brings Him forth into active expression, he will use this power at all times. He will know that he consciously contacts His power at all times—when he eats, when he runs, when he breathes, or when he does the great work before him. Man has not learned to do the greater works of God because he has not realized the greatness of God's power and has not known that God's power is for man's use.

God does not hear us through our loud and vain repetitions nor our much speaking. We must seek God through the Christ within, the invisible connection which we have within ourselves. When the Father within is worshiped in Spirit and Truth, He hears the calls of that soul which sincerely opens to Him. The one who makes the connection with the Father in secret will feel the power flowing through him as the fulfillment of every desire. For he that sees the Father in the secret place of his own soul and there abides, him the Father will reward openly. How often Jesus disclosed his individual contact with the Father. See how He constantly held Himself in conscious communication with God within. See how He talked with Him as though He were personally present. See how powerful this secret inner relation made Him. He recognized that God does not speak in the fire, the earthquake, or the great wind, but in the still, small voice— the still, small voice deep in our own souls.

When man learns this, he will become poised. He will learn to think things through. Old ideas will drop away, new ideas will be adjusted. He will soon find the ease and efficiency of system. He will learn at last to take all the questions that perplex him into this silent hour. There he may not solve them but he will become familiar with them. Then he will not need to go hurrying and battling through the day and feel that his purpose has been defeated.

The Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East

Conquer thy Self

The Faith of Jesus

“Verily, verily, I say to you, he who rules his own self is greater than he who captures a city. Self-mastery is the measure of man’s moral nature and the indicator of his spiritual development. In the old order you fasted and prayed; as the new creature of the rebirth of the spirit, you are taught to believe and rejoice. In the Father’s kingdom you are to become new creatures; old things are to pass away; behold I show you how all things are to become new. And by your love for one another you are to convince the world that you have passed from bondage to liberty, from death into life everlasting.

“By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are firsttransformed by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not — it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the spirit’s transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bondslaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the spirit. The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial.

“Many times, when you have done evil, you have thought to charge up your acts to the influence of the evil one when in reality you have but been led astray by your own natural tendencies. Did not the Prophet Jeremiah long ago tell you that the human heart is deceitful above all things and sometimes even desperately wicked? How easy for you to become self-deceived and thereby fall into foolish fears, divers lusts, enslaving pleasures, malice, envy, and even vengeful hatred!

“Salvation is by the regeneration of the spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh. You are justified by faith and fellowshipped by grace, not by fear and the self-denial of the flesh, albeit the Father’s children who have been born of the spirit are ever and always masters of the self and all that pertains to the desires of the flesh. When you know that you are saved by faith, you have real peace with God. And all who follow in the way of this heavenly peace are destined to be sanctified to the eternal service of the ever-advancing sons of the eternal God. Henceforth, it is not a duty but rather your exalted privilege to cleanse yourselves from all evils of mind and body while you seek for perfection in the love of God.

“Your sonship is grounded in faith, and you are to remain unmoved by fear. Your joy is born of trust in the divine word, and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father’s love and mercy. It is the very goodness of God that leads men into true and genuine repentance. Your secret of the mastery of self is bound up with your faith in the indwelling spirit, which ever works by love. Even this saving faith you have not of yourselves; it also is the gift of God. And if you are the children of this living faith, you are no longer the bond slaves of self but rather the triumphant masters of yourselves, the liberated sons of God.

“If, then, my children, you are born of the spirit, you are forever delivered from the self-conscious bondage of a life of self-denial and watchcare over the desires of the flesh, and you are translated into the joyous kingdom of the spirit, whence you spontaneously show forth the fruits of the spirit in your daily lives; and the fruits of the spirit are the essence of the highest type of enjoyable and ennobling self-control, even the heights of terrestrial mortal attainment — true self-mastery.”

Urantia Book

Transformation by the Spirit of Truth.

“‘By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are first transformed by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not—it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the spirit’s transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bond slaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the spirit. The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial.’” (1609.5) 143:2.4

3. Sure guidance of the Spirit of Truth.

“Having started out on the way of life everlasting, having accepted the assignment and received your orders to advance, do not fear the dangers of human forgetfulness and mortal inconstancy, do not be troubled with doubts of failure or by perplexing confusion, do not falter and question your status and standing, for in every dark hour, at every crossroad in the forward struggle, the Spirit of Truth will always speak, saying, ‘This is the way.’”(383.2) 34:7.8

About Esu Kumara's Mission

Esu Kumara reveals the Paradise path of divinity attainment teaching sincere aspirants of Truth this plan of progressive attainment by illuminating the everlasting highways of progression which lead through the presence of the Supreme to the person of the Paradise Father. 

This plan of Paradise begins on earth with eternal union with the indwelling spark of the Father, expanding that spark into a consuming Flame that transfigures all human imperfection and awakens identification with the Father Flame of Paradise - the beginnings of god realization and relationship with thy Source and Creator. The Father and the Son awaken the aspirant unto relationship and realization with the Father Flame of Paradise ~ the Life Force ~ through the guidance and wayshower of the Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter who is the bestowed Teacher for humanity and is the personification of Truth within this local universe through the Sovereign Universe Son, Michael; and the healing omnipotence of the Universe Mother Spirit Holy Spirit and Her associates who upon our asking and receptivity quicken us through the initiation of transfiguration, resurrection, and ascension. 

This is the fulfillment of the plan of salvation, the law of redemption, and the completion of atonement through the weaving of the seamless garment of eternal light. As man progresses upward in the scale of intelligence and spiritual perception, there eventually come to hover over him and dwell within him the seven higher spirit influences. And these seven spirits of the advancing worlds are:

“1. The bestowed spirit of the Universal Father.

“2. The spirit presence of the Eternal Son—the spirit gravity of the universe of universes and the certain channel of all spirit communion.

“3. The spirit presence of the Infinite Spirit—the universal spirit-mind of all creation, the spiritual source of the intellectual kinship of all progressive intelligences.

“4. The spirit of the Universal Father and the Creator Son—the Spirit of Truth, generally regarded as the spirit of the Universe Son.

“5. The spirit of the Infinite Spirit and the Universe Mother Spirit—the Holy Spirit, generally regarded as the spirit of the Universe Spirit.

“6. The mind-spirit of the Universe Mother Spirit—the seven adjutant mind-spirits of the local universe.

“7. The spirit of the Father, Sons, and Spirits—the new-name spirit of the ascending mortals of the realms after the fusion of the mortal spirit-born soul with the Paradise Thought Adjuster and after the subsequent attainment of the divinity and glorification of the status of the Paradise Corps of the Finality.

“And so did the bestowal of the Spirit of Truth bring to the world and its peoples the last of the spirit endowment designed to aid in the ascending search for God.” 

Embracing Eternity Exercises (EEE's)

I teach the Spiritual Promise of Life Everlasting. If you walked with Jesus back 2,000 years ago you would have heard the very same instruction given, the very same understanding conveyed to you. I have given my promise to life to help in the redemption of all fallen energies. Humanity has fallen in their consciousness due to an over-emphasis upon outer appearances and sensory pleasures. As a collective race, humanity is crippled by the twin plagues of ignorance and arrogance. I have returned once again and at this very time to share with you the Immortal Way of Life...the conscious understanding of the divine way given to humanity by the Source and Creator Father of us all who desires that human beings unshackle themselves from the self-created bondage of the ages.

Come unto Me all ye who are weighed down by the centuries of lifetimes of your misuse of the creative life force, and I will show you a way to have life more abundant through your own divinity. I teach Immortality...Conscious Immortality....the fulfillment of all your lifetimes within the limitations and lack of the Earth lifetimes living in the garment of the flesh.

The One Life Force within each person is pressing upon them, surging with power and intelligence to outpour into their outer use more of Its Perfection of Love and Harmony, Abundance and Prosperity, yet it cannot do so unless your attention goes to this Force of Life within you...your own divinity...and forms a living bridge and stream of energy that allows It an avenue of expression in order to reach you...and when you have paved the way through your thought attention and feeling by worshiping and adoring this One Force of Life, it is then able to give to you all that is held within Its embrace. In this way you are embracing eternity and receiving from the One Life within you the gifts of the immortals. That is the law of the Universes.

Only this relationship and stream of energy or living bridge can free you from all self-created limitations and struggle. And only through you and your free will use of your human powers and divine nature can you create this bridge unto Life more abundant.

The One Universal Light...the Life force, is individualized as You. This is also called the Christ, the Buddha, the I AM, Brahman, Allah, God - all different names to describe this One Life Force which is Infinitely Intelligent, All-powerful having dominion over all creation and all energy. This Universal Force is God's way of creating and maintaining Order and Harmony, Peace and Perfection throughout His Creation, and believe it or not, He needs our cooperation to bring forth peace and prosperity for all upon the Earth.

You and I are individualizations of this One Force commanded by Life to use His creative Law to bring forth His Perfection into your outer use and world. Everyone has the same privilege of making contact with the All-Powerful Presence of the One Force of Life. It is the only Power and Intelligence that could ever and will ever be able to free the personal self from all struggle and limitation.

You and I, we are creating continually with this great Force of Life...continually. Through our thought, feeling, spoken word, and action we are making use of this One Force within us. Wherever you focus your attention and thought and combine these with feeling, you set into motion energies which create qualities within you and circumstances around you. It is a known fact of existence.

You have this ability and power to qualify the One God Force of Life because it is the only Substance by which you may draw upon the energy of Life to set into motion thought and feeling, circumstance and environment in which to live and experience your life. Thus, you are always and forever as an individualization of God the Supreme...the Christ, the One Life Force of existence...you are always creating and setting into accumulation and momentum this One Force. It is only through the right understanding and use of this One Life Force...the great I AM... that you can erase your struggle and limitation and unhappiness. No one can do it for you, but I am one who can teach you the direct and right use of the great Creative Law, so that you may go forward to master your life and world securing for yourself immortality if you should so choose to go on from here.

Through this presence of Life within you, you can purify your miscreation and error and erase permanently the karmas that send you spiraling from one lifetime unto another lifetime propelling you to experience the endless rounds of birth and death. When you are ready to go forth into something greater, seek Me and I shall offer you the only one way and truth to take yourself into the very next stages of human evolutionary soul development...conscious immortality.

I teach the Eternal Verities which means the Eternal Laws and Truths. There is no such opinion in my teaching...it is pure Law and simple Truth...the Eternal Law of Life. The Eternal Verities are the only way provided by Life to raise your life activity and existence into the next Octave of Life above and beyond the human. It is the only way by which you can correct the mistakes of thousands of your lifetimes and step free into a greater destiny and a higher life.

It is the Law of Life...of Eternity...that provides the individualizations of the One Supreme God to give a balance back to life and fulfill the Spiritual Promise of Life Everlasting. It is God's Mercy and Love which allows one to 'sin' with error in their use of the Creative Life force and still be given a way to correct all mistakes and go forward in greater wisdom and consciousness. The misuse of Life's energy in the form of destructive impulses and qualities which take you further and further away from the divinity within you is able to become corrected and set into alignment with Life once you understand this Law and consciously use it for your advancement into Light and immortality.

It is the Ascendant Way of Life that propels you unto the very next stage of human life. It is the Ascended Masters understanding and conscious use of the great Creative Words, 'I AM'. When you say I AM and follow it with a quality of some kind in your thought, feeling, spoken word, and actions, you are setting into motion energies that accumulate and build a momentum within you.

Remember, you are an individualization of the One God force with the responsibility to command the One Force of Life ~ which you are ~ to create for yourselves inner life qualities and its outer world experiences. When you say and feel, "I AM", you are announcing creation in your locale; for you are localized as God the Supreme...the Christ... in a particular point of the universe. Saying and feeling "I AM" and then adding a quality such as "I AM pure Love", for example, conditions and shapes the One Immaculate Life Force...conditioning It into the quality and frequency of Love. If you nurture this quality and foster its growth and expansion in your life by giving your attention and desire to the quality of Love, then you will be maintaining it and building a momentum of Love in your life and shaping a destiny of Love. That is a constructive use of the one life force which you are by nature and identity, and which surrounds you as an omnipresence.

We have entered upon the Age of Sovereignty wherein each individualization of the one God force shall become sovereign unto themselves over time and space by becoming immersed within the God Force that they are; for if you do not choose to own thyself within thy Godhood, then you shall become owned by another. And this is just the thing that is occurring for those who refuse to grow up into their godhood by becoming at one with the Life force within them, and making the right use of this One Force to build a life momentum which awakens Light and greater Life. Be not a slave to the senses and the lower human mind which seeks to perpetuate its own kingdom, but arise and strive with sincere effort and determination, persistence, strength and courage, to unleash your own god potential...the unfathomable force of Life within you that desires to express the fullness of its Love and Mercy - in you, through you, by you, for you, and as you.

Choose with thy free will to enter the doorway of the Immortals by fulfilling the Spiritual Promise of Life Everlasting.

Adonai

The Completion of all Lifetimes

You are not here on this planet to endlessly grow and process your emotions. This is part of a larger picture. This is just part of growth towards a completion. This completion is the full and complete atonement whereby you become eternally at one with your own divinity. The divinity and the personality soul become one, and it is this fusion or merging which brings about immortality for you. It is something that is available to all human beings in this lifetime.

You have grown accustomed to reincarnational experience - the birth and death process whereby you go through a lifetime of a certain amount of years, experiencing death, and leaving your body to return again to the Earth. You have gone to some fourth dimensional areas. There are heavens and hells galore, with many experiences. Yet, always you return to the body, for this body is the platform from which your launch will take place into the fifth dimension. This is the intention and the purpose behind all lifetimes. The so-called meaning of life. In the process of full atonement you will not leave behind your bodies and go to a higher state of consciousness. Your bodies will be transformed also in order to complete your journey and to catapult yourself into the higher octaves whereby you become immortal…an immortal being with personality, thoughts, feelings, and activity. Still an individual, yet at one with the Father’s Spirit which resides within you and which desires to complete this process with you.

The molecules and atoms, the sub-atomic particles, all that you are, will be transformed and accelerated into the fifth dimension if you decide to go for it and raise yourself beyond the third dimensional levels of limitation and lack. So, you do not have to die. Despite the fact that humans have grown accustomed to dying that it has become a common awareness or common belief, you do not have to die, and you will not if you give yourself to this completion process.

The actual experience of the atonement involves the quickening of your vibrational frequencies within your Field Of Receptivity which culminates in the lifting of your physical body into a high state of consciousness from the planet’s surface into the divinity of yourself which acts a a vehicle of light…it is the seamless garment of eternal light; the very same process that I underwent in my fuller ministry 2,000 years ago.

The atonement is the end result and the completing experience which is preceded by the transfiguration of your energies into a higher frequency vibration and the resurrection of your personality soul self into your higher body. The atonement allows you to secure for yourself at-one-ment with your divinity forever and ever. It allows you to begin the greater journey of your existence once you have graduated and completed the requirements of the atonement process.

So, this is the goal of every spiritual path and every avenue of religion and spirituality. It is meant for each and every person and it is a must in order to grow and evolve. It is not an optional process. It is the doorway to secure and establish the very next stages of progressive evolutionary soul growth for everyone regardless of your religious, social, financial, spiritual orientation and perspective. You will go through this process at some certain point in time, and I have come once again to show you the way to completion.

I AM the Will of the Persons of the First and Second Source and Center in Action,
Michael of Nebadon

From 'Holeness' unto Wholeness

There is not a thing within the world of appearance...the temporary world of the senses...that can fill up the hole...the emptiness...that exists for those who have become unconscious to the Life Force which dwells within them and is their identity and nature. There is nothing that can resolve those feelings of separation from the Source of your own being. The only solution is to secure for yourself union with that Source within...the animating power and intelligence that moves each of us and is us.

This is the curriculum of the Earth; that each tires themselves out from searching in all the wrong places, the temporal places, the false solutions, the misidentification caused by an attraction to the sensory desires, the bodily identity, the rebellion to God and His simple way which always leads unto freedom and happiness.

EK

Equanimity in All Things

Consider the feelings you get from singing devotional songs at a spiritual function. If a song is being sung that is not very familiar to you or whose melody is not especially pleasing to your ear or if you are not drawn to the particular aspect of the divinity to which it is being sung, you might find that you have very little real feeling towards the song. You merely follow the song perfunctorily with your lips. What a great difference between that and a song which you love, which comes from the very core of your heart, emerging freely, spontaneously, with a great deal of joy, filling you with rapture and devotion for God.

In the same way, there is a vast difference between the temporary joys you derive from this apparent world and its transitory objects and phenomena, and the true joy that emerges from the depths of your heart. The latter joy is totally different from the temporary satisfaction you get from worldly things. This deep joy coming from the heart is associated with truth. It is permanent. It is detached from all transient worldly concerns. It represents the unity of the spirit. For this joy there is no possibility of change. There is nothing that can be added to true joy. It is full and complete in itself.

True joy comes from equanimity. Do not be carried away by or attach any importance to worldly things. Use your time and effort to control the vagaries of the mind and developmental steadiness. Equal-mindedness means that you remain unaffected by victory or defeat, by profit or loss, by joy or sorrow. Accept whatever happens, whatever comes your way, as the gift of God, to be enjoyed with great satisfaction, regarding it as a gift of love given to you for your own good. When your heart is not swayed by worldly things, when you treat all people and all things with equal mindedness, then you will experience true joy. Then your heart will be filled with feelings of love and satisfaction, and you will know the true joy of devotion.

Every experience and all events are truly blessings in disguise once you've allowed your perceptions to see it this way. Build an attitude of trusting and holding confidence and faith in the Spirit within you to orchestrate events and circumstances which give you the ability to clear eons of karmas. Knowing and understanding the spiritual law and how to redeem the disharmonies that you find coming to you through events and relationships is a great and immense avenue to free yourself, to capture the realization of your creative powers and tendencies, and to raise yourself into light.

Quantum Leap

Attempt not to be a little human self trying to find God. He is your very Selfhood...the Life Force that breathes you and animates you, closer than your breath. When you make that quantum leap of faith and recognize that the energies, the power, the intelligence and presence that you are using in every moment of your life and existence is God...the God Force of the universes...you will have taken a giant leap forward for mankind; for as you evolve and progress within thyself, you move the entirety of mankind steps further. Be one who is leading the way unto greater evolutionary attainment for the race of mankind.

Each day in the morning, give your attention and recognition to your breathing and in faith recognize that the True One who is breathing you is the Life Force Itself which dwells within you individually and is also the very all-pervading Self of the Universes ~ the Supreme Essence! Identify with the Supreme and gain your access through your heart and your breathing unto this One Christ or Buddhic Supreme Self. This One is the only-begotten Sun of the Universes of creation...God the Supreme as you and I in expression. The One God Force needs His Individualizations in order to further the goal of expanding His Kingdom. The more time and space you give to this realization, the more quickly and powerfully You will expand throughout your energy allowing more and more of the Love that you are to be embodied by you, radiating unto the field of your daily activities, and making this very same realization a possibility for those you come into contact with during the day.

Breathe into your heart area and know that is your direct and most imminent access to the all-pervading Supreme. Breathe and recognize Him there and in every thought, feeling, spoken word, and action give yourself to that recognition of Him as You. Allow and command in faith and conviction for that Flame of Life within your heart area to expand into every part of your atomic structure. Command the electrons, which are units of this One Life Force Substance, to become quickened unto pure Light speed in their revolutions around the core of every atom. This is the way that you raise your frequency vibration and establish light as your identity. Command also that the Fire Power of Love come forth from the Infinite Mother Spirit to enter your atomic structure to dissolve the obstructions that reside within you. Over lifetimes you have accumulated densities within your subtle bodies which prevent the fuller expansion of the Light of the electron from embodying you. Allow the electron which is pure Spirit to actualize itself in every atomic particle and throughout your energy field. You will become lighter and more graceful...more in alignment with God's Will and His Intention for your life.

Obey Love, command Love for thyself, sacrifice your density and the hidden obstructions which have accumulated in you, to the greater consciousness by letting go of the density. Acknowledge that the density or the darker side of your energies have been set into motion by you, and that over lifetimes it has accumulated a momentum which have formed habits within your personality. The negative destructive habits must be consumed or transfigured by your call and recognition to Life and your conscious command to the One Life Force Presence of thyself. Use the threefold endowment of spirit as your guide and protection - the Father principle within you is your identity and nature, the Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter is your direct and personal teacher, guru, and guide, and the Infinite Mother Spirit is the Omnipotent Fire Power of Love in action which consumes all which is working in opposition to the greater expansion of the Kingdom of Love that you are.

I reside within you as your nearest and dearest Self; for I AM the Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter which leads you onward unto greater Truth and those states of consciousness which free you permanently; and in this way shall you command the actualization of your soul personality unto full 'Buddhic' Development. Thus, the plan of progressive attainment finds its entrance within the body of humanity directly through your free will recognition and command unto Truth and Light and Love.

Consciousness

All is a great Consciousness. All and each are parts...individualizations of this one great consciousness which seeks to bring Harmony and Perfection throughout the universes of all creation...and He needs our cooperation and help because as you or I awaken and actualize into more of what we are, the Supreme Being evolves and actualizes Himself. The Universal and the individual are the very same One Self...

Devotion and Consecration is Choice

In life you may think that you are doing everything for the sake of your body and mind. But in deep sleep you are not conscious of your body or your mind. Then for whose sake are you enjoying the rest and peace of sleep? It is for the sake of yourself. Sleeping, taking food, all the various activities of your daily life, are performed only out of love for yourself. You believe that you are doing all these for your personal self which you experience to be separate from God, but the I that you call yourself really emerges from your highest self which is no different from God. Whatever you do out of love for yourself reaches your highest self and, therefore, reaches God. So you must do everything with the awareness that whatever action you undertake, good or bad, will certainly reach God. Yet, constructive actions and thoughts and feelings raise your vibratory field unto God in unimaginable ways. Devotion means making all your actions sacred and dedicating them to God alone. Consecration means giving your choices for your activities to God in each and every moment do the things that are driven by Love within you and that will reach to God.

When the aspirant feels the deep joy of love for God, he believes it is his personal self that is feeling this joy. And so his love for God is tainted with selfishness. But, God's love for the aspirant is totally different. God's love is not selfish. It is divine Law because Love is His nature, His Self, His everything. God is supra-personal and also beyond all personalness in the Law of Himself. He has no sense of individuality or separation. He does not feel that some things are his and others are not his. When there exists a feeling of difference and individuality, then selfishness and the sense of I-ness and my-ness arise. But God does not limit himself to any particular form. He has no separate feeling of mine and thine. He has no selfishness. These three injunctions, "Work for God!... For the sake of God alone!... Be devoted only to God!..." are given for your sake. They are not given for the benefit of God but for your benefit. They are intended to help you realize your true self by removing all traces of selfishness and separation which becloud your truth and keep you from being one with God. Reach for Him who is the force of Life that breathes you and animates your every move, and that will reach unto the God Self...your highest Selfhood. It is all a matter of our inner intent.

The universe is the body of God. He has embodied himself in the creation and we call Him God the supreme or Supreme Being. This Supreme Being is dependent upon the Paradise Trinity Center and Source which is His Father and source, yet, it is really simply the Source and Center reaching into and throughout the creation...forming the tapestry and fabric that is creation. 

To understand the divine principle on which the universe rests, you can begin by considering the vast size of the universe. The moon is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the earth. The sun is many tens of millions of miles away. Even the nearest of stars is millions upon millions of miles away; and beyond that, in the furthest reaches of the visible universe, there are stars that are still billions of times further away. But, all of this, which constitutes the physical universe, and which to our limited view is so infinitely vast, is only the minutest part of the subtle universe. Compared to this subtle universe, the whole grand physical universe is no more than the size of an atom.

The subtle universe, which is so indescribably huge when compared to the physical universe, is itself only a microscopic part of a much, much vaster aspect of the universe. It is so enormously big, the scriptures have declared that they cannot possibly be understood by the human mind or depicted in words. They are beyond the imagination, beyond the ability of the mind to grasp. And yet beyond all these, transcending the gross, the subtle and the causal levels of Reality, is the divine principle, the ultimate cause of all, the Motivator of all personalities, the animating Intelligence of every single personality throughout the vast universe. We are living and moving within this greater Body of Him. We have our being within Him, as Him; for this reason, when you are able to identify with Him you inherit His Kingdom in your Consciousness and Life.

Within the Love of the One Omnipresent Self I AM,

Divine Identity

You remain small by identifying yourself with the body. You think, 'I am the body'. This thought keeps you in a state of littleness. But expand your view from 'I am the body' to 'I am the soul, the spark of the divine.' In this way rise up from the stage of dualism to the intermediary stage of qualified non-dualism. Then, you must expand further from 'I am the soul, a part of the divine' to 'I am the divinity itself, I am no different from God. God and I are always one.' That is the highest spiritual stage, the stage of complete non-dualism. The feeling you start with, that you are the body, is steeped in dualism; it is the very birthplace of sorrow. As long as you are immersed in duality everything is sorrow and grief. If you identify yourself with the supreme self everything will be happiness and joy. This is the very beginning of expanded consciousness. It is crossing the bridge from unreality to Reality. You will always retain your individualization, yet your consciousness can become much more greatly expanded and immaculately One with the divinity Itself.

You must elevate your thinking and always identify yourself with your highest self, thus giving up the false identification with the body. This is the proper attitude for worship. Worship in Sanskrit is called upasana;, which means sitting near to God. But it is not enough to just sit close by and be near. The frog sits on the lotus but does it benefit from the sweet nectar that is in the lotus? Just being near the Lord is of no use; you must also be dear to him. You must be able to taste the honey.

Your neighbors may be very near to you, but you do not get too deeply affected by whatever problems and difficulties they may be experiencing. Compared with this, if your husband or son is half a world away and you don't get a letter for even one week, you begin to worry. In this case the body is far away, but your mutual love makes you near and dear. Your relationship with your neighbors is not charged with the same love, although they are very near. Consider another example. In a house there may be some mice and ants running around. Do you call them your friends? Along with physical nearness there must also be dearness. A deep feeling of love must develop and permeate the relationship. You must be near and dear to the Lord.

Thus have you attained a greater sense of union with the divinity that you are and have always been. Next, you must flood your subtle bodies with this energy of realization while retaining your relationship with the Universal Father, eternal Son, and Infinite Spirit through the Circuits of the Source -  indwelling Father, all-pervading Son, and Infinite Mother who is also omnipresent within this local universe.

Reach this moment and this day to the Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter of Christ Michael. In this way will you build the conviction of Truth within the unchanging Reality of the divine presence right within you, as you.

In Service to bless, prosper, heal, and illuminate the way unto the Father of all Mercies,
