John 1:1 "...the Word was God". John 1:14 "...the Word became flesh" - Colossians 2:9, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells..."

What immediately precedes the word?

Thought.

One is in the realm of the physical, and manifest by way of a seed planted in the fertile ground of "consciousness", which becomes, the "Word".

The other, "Thought", is in the Meta-physical realm.

Thought begets word, and word is begotten by thought.

Thought, takes place in "The Realm of God", or "The Kingdom of God", or The Garden of Eden. And is made manifest, begotten, by way
of our Culture, our Conditioning, and our "nature", or "Mother Nature".

The "Garden" has all the fullness of deity within it, until the Husband/keeper/relative mind-consciousness/soul is led astray with his "selfish interest" and neglects the tending of the garden.

Weeds take over, snakes enter, the fruit begins to rot and the "Garden" is a garden no more. [of new ideas]

The Religious books of antiquity were intelligent mans first attempts at analyzing human behavior. They were the first "Psychotherapists" before there even was a term.

They took this chore upon themselves, to ease the suffering of mankind.

They have helped a lot of people, and made a fortune in the process.

What makes their [all the messengers of "God"] teachings "Wholly" is the fact that they speak on two levels at the same time. It is seen throughout the writings of all such works, of all times, when one is cognizant of "what to look for".

That's why the disciples ask Jesus, i.e. "Why do you speak the truth to us, but to them you speak in parables?"; "For you it is to know for them it is not."

Some people, due to their own ignorance, will never just never get it.
Pulled by their "knows" into the realm of duality.

Hope you having fun in Turkey Michael.

Namaste` brother.

That being so the very idea of speed, time, distance, would be totally absurd, and would be meaningless. That being so, we really have no-where to go, for we are already There!


kind regards michael.

Hi drifter and michael,

Seems synchronicity is abound for this week,

I've just today written this poem .. it appears to be in keeping with this topic.

It's hot off the press so no title as yet.

Maybe it doesn't need ONE




so many grains of sand
unknowing i am a desert

so many drops of water
unknowing i am an ocean

so many books
unknowing i am the library

so many flowers
unknowing i am the garden


so many leaves and branches
unknowing i am the tree


so many views
unknowing i am the whole panorama

I am the whole enchilada


Love to you's

melanie.

"God", lets consider that as "another consciousness" said "I Am".

The thought "IAm" precedes the word.

So "Who Am I" is the self inquiry that must be done to find out who or what we "are not".

There are many works/books on this theme.

The "Life" that is the
"Light" of men is the conscious
Awareness I Am.

Being consciously
Still is how to know I Am
One with the Father.

The Light of God is
The Pure Awareness I Am
Conscious of being.

In mental silence
Become consciously aware
Of union with God.

to "Be still and know
That I Am God...is the Way
The Truth and the Life.

The "Light" that lighteth
Every man who comes into the
World is "Consciousness."

In conscious stillness
I become that which I Am
In Spirit and Truth.

Believing God to
Be other than I Am
Is the root of all evil.

Carnal mind involves
Relative ignorance of
This present moment.

Believing I Am
Separate from God is the
Original sin.

If God [ the other consciousness or Oracle] said "I Am", the thought preceded the word.

Should we maybe consider "He" [that oracle, and not an anthropomorphic projection]is trying to tell "us" something? Beckoning us as it were?

Should we consider that "I Am" might be a clue?

What if the bible were written in post diction and this "Object" were really The Subject?, That All seekers seek?

The One without a second?

The Primal Point?

"The Oracle" or the "Star-gate' through which one might find passage into another dimension in space and time?

Worth looking into?

In awe, I wonder.

but hey, it just a thought, ya know.

IAM the Resurrection
IAM the life

The greatest challenge in life is to allow your seed to open to the unknown skies, to the winds, the sun, the rain;
one never knows what is going to happen.

There is nobody to guide the seed, there are no scriptures for the seed to read.
The seed is taking a risk by coming out,
and you should understand that the risk is not small.
The risk is exactly a death.
The seed has to die in the soil; only then the sprouts of the potentiality of the seed will start growing.
Perhaps it will become a roseflower,
or a lotus, or some other kind of flower.
It does not matter.
What matters is flowering, not the name of the flower.
A wild flower is as beautiful as the most precious rose.
They are brothers in one way, that they both have come to their flowering. They have both enjoyed the joy of growth,
they both have seen with their own eyes what was hidden in their seed.
They have both taken the same risk and the same challenge.

In fact it is a Death and a Resurrection
The seed dies and resurrects into many flowers, into many fruits, into many seeds.
It is said that a single seed can make the whole earth green.
Just one plant is not its potential.
On that one plant there will come thousands of seeds again, each seed again carrying thousands of seeds.

Just a single seed can fill the whole earth with absolute greenness.
Such tremendous possibility in a small seed! And you are a living seed, conscious.
