Meditation in Oneness: My presentation today is titled “Meditation in Oneness.” Oneness is why we meditate and oneness is the reason we can meditate. It all sounds too simple to be meaningful, but it is meaningful. I promise. The concept of “oneness” conveys to us the essential nature of God. Knowing that essential nature is the reason we seek to be enlightened, and it is the means by which we will become enlightened. Buddha in Oneness: When the Buddha proclaimed his enlightenment he said simply, “I am awake.” What was he awakened from? Had he just finished a long nap? Yes, in a...

I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it.  Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me.  Now I would guide myself no more.  For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom.  But I trust in You.  You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me.  Your Voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last.  Father, my freedom is in You alone.  Father, it is my will that I return. Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us.  How...

Father, unless I judge I cannot weep.  Nor can I suffer pain, or feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world.  This is my home because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will.  Let me today behold it uncondemned, through happy eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion.  Let me see Your world instead of mine.  And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone.  Father, I will not judge Your world today. God’s world is happy.  Those who look on it can only add their joy to it, and bless it as a cause of further joy in them.  We wept because...

My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive.  Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon.  Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all things within it, in the calm of quiet certainty.  Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the world, but from the boundless Love of God Himself.  How far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God! Father, You know my true Identity.  Reveal It now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken to the truth in You,...

I need but look upon all things that seem to hurt me, and with perfect certainty assure myself, “God wills that I be saved from this,” and merely watch them disappear.  I need but keep in mind my Father’s Will for me is only happiness, to find that only happiness has come to me.  And I need but remember that God’s Love surrounds His Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect, to be sure that I am saved and safe forever in His Arms.  I am the Son He loves.  And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so. Father, Your holiness is mine.  Your Love created me, and...

These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down. (1) And he said, “Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death.” (2) Jesus said, “Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.” (3) Jesus said, “If those who lead you say to you, ‘See, the kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to...

All actions start as mere thoughts. When you set out to reach your goals, negative thinking pretty much ends your journey right there.

In this article we will look at the importance of using creative thought (yes, imagination) as a God-given ability to “create” or receive what we have prayed for.  So many believers pray, but complain that they do not see results. Many discoveries on the level of quantum physics, the study of subatomic particles, proved that we influence our world with our thoughts.  No wonder that the greatest “physicist”, the Creator of the universe wrote in His Book, the Bible, “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Pro 23:7). Our thoughts can play a powerful role in our wellbeing, health...

The Glory of God Changed my Life… March 29th, 2009 On October, 2006 I was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor. I was by then only 24 years old and would have never thought that anything like this could be in my body. I underwent surgery for removal of the tumor which was located in the tail part of my pancreas. To the Glory of God the tumor was benign and was extracted completely…with the extraction procedure, the tail and part of the body of my pancreas were also excised. Right after my surgery I had lots of prayers from my Christian family, especially asking for regeneration and correct...
