The following excerpts
are from THE GATHERING:
from Chapter
2 (Who Are They):
“...Ultimately,
you can only be inhabited by your self. There is
nothing that you will meet on any plane or dimension that is not ‘you’ or
your creation. The fact of the matter is, we all come from the same place,
and when we are there, we are the same thing.
There is only one of us here, and it is you....
“What
you call God, is simply the Creative Source, i.e., the source of all
creation. To be ‘made in God’s image’ does not mean that we all look or
think alike, but that we are each endowed with this same tendency and
ability to create—along with God, we are co-creators of our universe. More
than that, what you create, you become; and even God is not exempt. God
created the universe and then entered in.”
from
Chapter 16 (The God Within)
“...I
am not being dictated to by beings that are out of body, though it might
seem so on occasions. Instead, I am being made to connect with some deep
projection of my self, call it the higher self,
call it the divine self, the deep self, whatever; this is about learning to
listen to the spirit within rather than any external authority. That
spirit isn’t out to trick you or terrify you; quite the opposite. Its
purpose is to guide and inform. In doing so, it will appear to you in a way
that you are best able to accept and blend with it. It may change costumes
from time to time; it may even alter an occasional fact, but it never
lies...I call that spirit, the god within.
“...The
god within is an element of the universal hologram that makes possible an
intimate relationship with the Creator/Mother/Father/God of us all. It
makes personal experience of the divinity a reality. Without knowledge of
the god within, you may experience the Spirit of God, but you will never
know its source within yourself. In order to know God at this level, you
must be prepared to surrender your ordinary mind for the extraordinary;
give up all belief systems and stop looking for something or someone “out
there” to save you...
“...In
that instant in which you begin to cooperate with God, you realize that God
never really needed your cooperation in the first place. You cannot make a
wrong choice. You cannot choose the wrong life or the wrong occupation.
Your family, friends, and lovers are perfect; they are, at least to this
moment, exactly who you need. You are always doing exactly what God intends
for you to be doing. Frustration and anger ensues only when you think you
should be living your life any other way. The god within you brought you
here. If you would rather be someone else, somewhere else, you are always
free to choose and choose again, but even your decision to choose
differently is guided by your god within...
|
“...Each
of you is a perfect expression of God’s intent. You have within you the capacity
to make mistakes but not to fail. Failure is an illusion of those who serve
a god of fear, a god whose love is contingent and incomplete.”
from
Chapter 3 (A Universe of Intent):
“...The
underlying substance of the universe is intent. Your intent,
and where you fasten your attention determines your manifest universe.
There is but one intelligence, one current running through all creatures,
through everything; but, as it is channeled it is focused in many different
ways through the purposeful intent of the different dimensions and
varying situations, like a high voltage current passing through a series of
step-down transformers. Intent radiates fields of energy not visible to the
physical sight. Your needs—for survival, security, self-esteem, a sense of belonging,
your spirituality, even the tragedies of your life—are all part of your
intent...”
“...So,
how does the universe know what you want?...By watching to see what you are
fascinated by, what you find compelling, thrilling, mysterious, horrifying,
gripping, dreadful, or awesome. Then, once it knows what your
preoccupations are, without any sort of value judgement,
the universe gives you exactly that. Be fascinated with what you don’t
want, and you’ll get more of what you don’t want. Be fascinated with what
you do want, and you’ll get more of it.”
from
Chapter 4 (Resonant Causation/Emanation):
“...The
single most powerful element at play here is your own divine essence...The
emanation of presence is about evoking and strengthening divine attributes
in other people. Allowing your presence to be fully here for Spirit to use
does nothing more than evoke those particular qualities in the people to
whom you are emanating. And you don’t need to know or do anything.
Intention and openness are key, but no technique
is involved. You just have to go to bed at night, knowing who you are. Wake
up in the morning, knowing who you are. Go shopping, walking in the mall,
talking on the telephone, sitting in a restaurant or a theater; do
anything, do nothing, but know who you are. And that “knowing” will vibrate
throughout your environment, causing the awareness of individual human
cells to accelerate exponentially...”
from
Chapter 5 (End of Time):
“...The
awakening is a current universal event, but it is not happening “out
there”; it is taking place inside of you, each of you, in this very
moment. The real frontier is the moment that surrounds you now, which is
outside of time. The present is always outside of time. In fact, time as
you know it is coming to an end. The prophecies are true; this is the “end
of time.” That doesn’t mean that the world is coming to an end; it simply
means that you are giving up linear time for holographic time—time measured
by events rather than calendars. In a truly malleable universe, time is not
a quantity but a quality; it exists, but cannot be measured.
“...Stay
in the moment. Live your life as though it had been created for one special
event, an event for which you have already been prepared and given the
tools necessary to perform it. What you don’t know is what that event is or
when it might occur, so your duty is to pay attention to each single
moment. That doesn’t mean be fearful or anxious, just attentive. There is
nothing you can do to elude any moment but cultivate an
openness to the unknown so that whatever occurs you can be fully
present for it.
from
Chapter 6 (Spirit/Ego: The Noble Experiment)
“...The
body is spirit coalesced into a form that the senses can feel, see, and
smell; the mind is spirit in a form that can be heard and understood.
Spirit itself, in pure form, is neither of these and can be perceived only
by refined intuition. Spirit is a direct experience, but it transcends this
world. When you gain knowledge of any single thing in the universe you gain
limited knowledge; when you gain knowledge of spirit, you become
knowingness itself.
“...At
the full awakening...ego and spirit will meld together into one thing, the
same thing with different but complementary functions. Until then, each
time you expand into a higher level of awareness, assume more spirit, you
threaten the ego’s comfort zone, and it responds by making you fearful of
your own life...In actuality, the ego is being made to suffer its own
death. You will, indeed, feel like you are dying...
from
Chapter 7 (The Holographic Universe):
“...The
laws of one moment do not necessarily apply to the next. Likewise, a
picture of that same moment taken by two different observers with different
intent, will generate a different hologram, fixed
with different realities, drawing different conclusions. Any dimensional
shift occurring within a hologram is simply the vibrational
variance of your own conscious intent when observing the hologram. You
see what you want to see. The universe is what you think it is. And every
time you change, the universe changes...
“...The
laws of physics, so called, aren’t fixed at all. They aren’t even laws.
They are simply habits of thought, the single pattern of a hologram done
again and again until it becomes a habit, belief in a certain way of
thinking held for so long it appears to be immutable. In fact, the only immutable law of
physics is that of mutability, change. The laws of physics are just one
program in the cosmic computer, but a program repeated so often it has
become one of nature’s habits.
“...Indeed,
the laws of physics would seem to be encoded in our DNA. Learn to change
your DNA, alter your genetic coding—which is exactly what the ascension is
about—and all bets are off, the so-called ‘laws of physics’ are up for
grabs.”
from
Chapter 9 (The Surrendering):
“...Personal
transformation requires that your heart be kept open and your mind still.
Most of you are in the habit of doing just the opposite. Your sense of
separation, anger, and fear comes from the mind’s incessant chatter,
depending on the ego/intellect to rationalize, read, or otherwise think
your way through a problem. When this fails, the heart shrinks back in
fear. It is your own mind that causes your heart to close. And when the
heart is closed, the universe can nourish neither it nor you...”
from
Chapter 12 (The Ascension):
“...Ascension
is not difficult or complicated. It is a change that occurs in an instant,
but you are still here. The Sun will still shine and the stars will
continue to come and go. Your mortgage won’t go away. The difference is
your ability to live in and feel joy...
“...The
easiest way to verify that ascension has happened is to note the quality of
joy in a person’s life. Defined as samadhi,
ecstasy, or rapture, joy is a state of oneness with whomever or whatever
you think God is. You may experience it as being your center, or being on
your center; it is that clear space you sometimes achieve in deep
meditation when the energy is flowing unimpeded and you feel no separation,
an absolute oneness with all that is. Whatever brings you to that pleasure
or feeling of lightness, and whatever you would define as joy, is your
pathway to that state. The beginning of the ascension is when a person
begins living life by creating their fantasies as their reality, and finds
joy in what they have created.
“...Perhaps
the best way in which you can serve God, serve all mankind, serve the
planet, and serve yourselves is to create your lives as expressions of joy.
Be ruthless in evaluating your lives, and clear everything that does not
bring you joy. Come into integrity. Let go of old emotions, old issues,
even old relationships that are consuming the energy you could be feeling
joy with. This path makes the ascension very simple; all that’s required is
for each individual to begin focusing on and taking responsibility for his
own life. There are no victim’s here, and everyone is responsible for
keeping his own cage clean..
“...
Everything is happening so fast right now that there is simply no time to
spend in a specific place, at a particular altar, paying homage to a single
method or teacher. Don’t wait for someone else to do it for you or tell you
how. Pursue your own ascension according to your own understanding and
service. As you move through the cycles of prayer to meditation, to
contemplation to one, you will be shown. You are all of these on the run,
so to speak. All that you need is already present inside of you, waiting to
be recognized. The altar is movable. The ascension is equal. You will
experience it in whatever way you can accept it.”
from
Chapter 14 (From Grief to Grace):
“...Grief,
fear, anger, anxiety, those are all just labels for identifying an energy
that is moving through your body of consciousness. Don’t identify with
the labels. Don’t react to them; reacting simply puts them back into
your pattern to deal with again later. Instead, choose to observe them
without judgement, and then ride them out,
complete the clearing, and be done with it. That way there is no residue
left over, nothing hanging out in your energy fields...”
from
the last chapter (God Is An Outlaw):
“You
are the universe. Your universe is your way of relating to who and
what you are. If your vision is short and narrow then your universe will be
short and narrow. The universe is the sum of your vision. The center of the
universe is wherever you happen to be. Every single thing in the universe
is an extension of everything else, a continuum. It’s all in perfect order.
And it’s all God. Random doesn’t exist in the universe. It is just
not possible for disorder to exist in a universe that is ultimately
unbroken and whole. The same is true of consciousness. I mean, if a single
element of the universe were totally unconscious, the whole universe would
be unconscious and random. Any separation of consciousness and matter is an
illusion. They are the same thing. Consciousness is simply a more subtle
form of matter. Every rock, toad, star, comet, bridge, and automobile has
consciousness. The entire universe is made from a single fabric, seamless
and holographic in nature. And everything has consciousness...
“...And
because everything is a function of consciousness you can move in any
direction you like, create any possibility, alter the outcome of any event,
affect whatever level of harmony or chaos you choose. What appears as chaos
is simply a high degree of order.
“...So
learn to trust the chaos. Chaos is God’s natural and unfiltered voice; it
is Divine Order. And it always accompanies change.
“...For
too long you have played games you do not care about, by rules you don’t
believe in. If you have been following the rules, and find yourself being
angry, negative, resentful, and judgmental, stop following the rules
for awhile. Stop living by laws and codes of behavior laid down in the dark
ages....The Creator didn’t make the rules you follow. The Creator doesn’t make
you do anything. Life is dynamic creation in action. Experience your own
rightness of feeling. Claim your own reality, your own divinity. Stop
looking outside yourself for answers. But don’t let the negative side of
your ego, the martyr, the self-pitying dark side of your
self take over. There is joy in risking, in making new, in going
beyond the rules. (If the dream is big enough, even the facts don’t count.)
In the end the choice is always yours, but there are no wrong choices. Each
choice has its consequence, but the only moral criterion is love—for
oneself, one’s neighbor, one’s enemy, one’s life.
“...Stop
measuring your relationship with God by whether or not you like your job, enjoy your life, or are getting laid properly. God is
not a romantic. She doesn’t care what you do or who you are doing it to...”
“...The
path of the Spirit is not the path of human matter; it is a deviation from
the norm, from the rational, from anything egoistically coherent. To have
an intimate relationship with the living Spirit you must be willing to
enter into chaos and recognize the clarity in it, the divine order that
transcends human order; learn to live in and with a mystery that cannot be
explained in human terms, and be at home in the uncertainty. Stay balanced
in there. Stay conscious, fully alive, excited, exciting, curious, and
peaceful, all within the same one mystery.
“And
stop expecting God to behave like a rational human being. God is neither
rational nor human.
“Nor
is God a fortune teller, a judge, or an accountant. Living by grace that
transcends any law or rule of decorum, God is an outlaw. And the universe
is exactly what you think it is. (What you think, is.) Any set idea you may
have about the organization and structure of the universe helps to mold and
create that structure. If you don’t like the universal hologram you are
presently in, change your way of thinking. No single hologram, no one
reality, nor any single cause-and-effect relationship can ever explain the
infinite. Know this: If you can name it, define it, or describe it, that’s
probably not it.
