The Impersonal Life

Now I have purposely not stated clearly all the how and why of these things; for I have reserved for you, when you call upon Me so to do, and are capable of receiving it, to inspire you from within with a far more comprehensive vision of the unfoldment and development of My Divine Idea, and Its final perfected expression, than is herein pictured.

82 realization that I AM within, and more and more cause your human consciousness to become an Impersonal channel thru which I can express, will I gradually reveal to you the Reality of My Idea, dissipating one by one the illusions of the ages which have hidden Me from you, enabling Me thereby to manifest thru you My Heavenly Attributes on earth in all their humanly Divine perfection.

Then and then only, when nothing of the personal consciousness remains to prevent My filling you full to overflowing with the consciousness of Me, can I point out to you the glories of My Real Meaning, for which this whole Message is but the outer preparation.

Therefore, I shall now proceed as if you realize I AM within, and that these Truths which I voice thru the medium of these pages are but to impress more strongly upon your consciousness those phases of My Idea which you could not clearly receive direct.

But each Truth I voice herein will go on vibrating until it reaches the minds I have quickened to receive It; for every word is filled with the potent power of My Idea, and minds that perceive the Truth hidden therein, to those minds this Truth becomes a living Reality, being that phase of My Idea they are now worthy and capable of expressing.

As all minds are but phases of My Infinite Mind, or parts of It manifesting in different forms of mortal nature, when I speak thru the medium of these pages to your mind and to other minds, I AM but speaking to My mortal forth My Idea into earthly expression.

Just so will You soon be thinking My Thoughts, and be conscious that I AM speaking within direct to your human consciousness, and you will then no longer have to come to this book or to any other of My outer Revelations, either spoken or written, in order to perceive My Meaning.

And all that remains for you to do is to enter into the All-consciousness of My Mind and abide there with Me, even as I abide within My Idea in Your Mind; when all things shall be Yours, as they now are Mine, being but the outer expression of My Idea, and existing only by reason of the consciousness I gave them when I thought them into being.

85 conscious thinking. You are separated from Me only because you think you are. Your mind is but a focal point of My Mind. If you but knew it, what you call your consciousness even is My consciousness. You cannot even think, much less breathe or exist without My consciousness being in you.—Can you not see it?

Well, then, think, believe you are I, that We are not separated, that we could not possibly be separated; for we are ONE.—I within You, and You within Me. Think this is so; determinedly image it as so; and verily the moment you are conscious of this, that moment are you with Me in Heaven.

Now I have spoken much of this, and have apparently said the same thing more than once, but in different words. But I have done this purposely, presenting My Meaning in different lights, that you might finally be brought to comprehend My Divine Impersonality, which is in Reality Your Impersonality.

Yes, I have repeated and will continue to repeat many Truths, and you may think it tedious and unnecessary; but if you will read carefully you will find that each time I repeat a Truth I always add something to what has already been said, and that each time. a stronger and more lasting impression is made upon your mind.

And this book and its message will be to you hereafter merely a fount of inspiration, or a door thru which you will be enabled to enter into the Impersonal estate and to hold sweet communion with Me, your Father in Heaven, when I will teach you all things you desire to know.

And when you can consciously dwell in it so that My Words when and wherever spoken in your mind, then will I permit you to use certain faculties have been awakening in you. These faculties will enable you more and more clearly to see the Reality of things, not only the beautiful and lovely qualities in the personalities of those about you, but their weaknesses, faults and shortcomings, as well.

But the reason you are enabled to see these faults and shortcomings, is not that you may criticize or judge your brother, but that I may arouse in you a definite resolve to overcome and suppress such faults and shortcomings in your own personality. For, mark you!—You would take no note of them in others were they not still in your self; for I, within, then would not need to call them to your attention.

88 all things. All you have, or are, be it of good or evil, of blessing or suffering, of success or failure, of riches or lack, I have given you or attracted to you.—For why? For USE—in awakening you to a recognition and acknowledgment of Me as The Giver.

And you could not honestly acknowledge Me as such until you knew I AM, The Giver. Your personality, in fact, had become so engrossed in trying to get rid of or to exchange many of the things I had given you for other things you thought were better, that of course you could not even dream, much less acknowledge, Me, Your Own Self, as The Giver.
