Hay-Ku of the Day (Growing Up Into Christ)

Christ is Awareness

Embodied as a Sense of

Radiant presence.

Christ is the Divine 

"Awareness of Being" that 

Is "with me always."

"Christ in You" is "This

Awareness Right Here, Right Now"

That Understands All.

***

To Be What I Am

As the Awareness of God

I need to Be Still.

Being Here and Now

Still and Silent as I Am

One with the Father.

This Holy Moment

Awareness knows Sensation

Consciousness is Born.

(3) Although the following Neville Goddard (who I would characterize as a Christian Mystic of the Highest Order, for want of a better term) excerpt pushes the "traditional doctrinal envelope" way beyond "cherished conceptual belief," the time is short and Neville does provide a perfectly clear, natural, practical and experientially verifiable delineation with respect to exactly what "...growing up into him, in all things, which is the head, even Christ..." and "...Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man..."(KJV) actually point to with respect to the Ultimate Potential of Collective Mankind (which fell in Adam and resurrects in Christ) to Manifest the Fullness of Godhead Bodily as the Aware Presence of Being Christ is as the One I Am in All, that is All in All."

The Power of Awareness

by Neville Goddard 

Chapter One 

I AM

"All things when they are admitted are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light. Eph. 5:13 

"THE "light" is consciousness. Consciousness is one, manifesting in legions of forms or levels of consciousness. There is no one that is not all that is, for consciousness, though expressed in an infinite series of levels, is not divisional. There is no real separation or gap in consciousness. I AM cannot be divided. I may conceive myself to be a rich man, a poor man, a beggar man or a thief, but the center of my being remains the same regardless of the concept I hold of myself. At the center of manifestation there is only one I AM manifesting in legions of forms or concepts of itself and "I am that I am."  

"I AM is the self-definition of the absolute, the foundation on which everything rests. 

"I AM is the first cause-substance. 

"I AM is the self-definition of God. I AM hath sent me unto you. 

"I AM THAT I AM.

"Be still and know that I AM God. 

"I AM is a feeling of permanent awareness. The very center of consciousness is the feeling of I AM.  I may forget who I am, where I am, what I am but I cannot forget that I AM. The awareness of being remains, regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where, and what I am. 

"I AM is that which, amid unnumbered forms is ever the same. This great discovery of cause reveals that, good or bad, man is actually the arbiter of his own fate, and that it is his concept of himself that determines the world in which he lives [and his concept of himself is his reactions to life]* [*Bracketed material is explained in the publisher's Px.--Ed. s note.]..,"

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear." Matthew 13:15-16 KJV
