God is Light.

God is Light.

In a prior blog I wrote about false premises wherein I wrote anything which has a foundation of or originates from a flawed or false premise is therefore also flawed or false. With this understanding you may clearly understand the truth, and clear away everything based upon a flawed or false premise. The purpose of this writing is therefore to aid in clearing away a flawed premise, a false premise which uncovers the truth of our being.

---

In the beginning there was light and God spoke, “Let there be darkness.” Out of those words sprang the potential for infinite possibilities and potentials.
The Bible has it wrong in that it states that God said, “Let there be light.”
Now that I’ve said that, let me expand on the logic and reasoning which makes the first God statement true, and the second God statement false.

The unspoken or implied message of God saying “Let there be light,” is this: God is not light, God created it, therefore light is subordinate to God. To carry that implied message further, if God is not light, that means God is darkness and that darkness brought forth or created light.

It is universally accepted and understood that energy is indestructible. It changes forms but still remains energy. Being indestructible, the next logical thought must be that energy always was, and will always be. In other words, energy is eternal.

What is a characteristic of energy? It vibrates. Via this vibration, via the infinite variation in vibration, all manifestation expresses in infinite ways. Energy has spectrums of vibration, that is to say scales of vibration. Sound is an obvious spectrum of vibration and as we are able to hear, we can know, at least to the extent that our human hearing can perceive, sounds in degrees of pitch and octave and tone as well as volume. Another spectrum of vibration is that of light. The human senses perceive a portion of this spectrum as visible light while the light spectrum extends far beyond what the human senses can readily perceive. Also, in the same way there are spectrums of smell, and tactile sense, or touch. The human senses distinguish these energy vibrations as sound, light, smell, taste and touch, but in truth these senses originate from the very same energy vibration.

In order for this energy to express with purpose, intent and direction, the energy must be understood as being aware and being aware it must also be understood to be intelligent, which is to say, it is self aware.

So, in the beginning, intelligent aware energy existed. Energy without limitation certainly is universally radiant. That is to say, there was nothing but this undifferentiated radiant energy or light. It didn’t have to create light, or strive to be energy, because that is what it already was.

In order to have expression beyond its undifferentiated infinite radiant state, it had to introduce a state which would enable finite expression. In order to do this, it established resistance which is expressed in its extreme manifestation as darkness. With the creation of resistance came darkness. So with the advent of resistance came the apparent expression of duality; i.e.: God and not God, light and dark, good and bad, top and bottom, in and out, front and back and so on.

(NOTE: the idea of “God and not God” is a duality illusion because there is really only God. “Not God” is a concept within God, the one eternal infinite being.)

Darkness is the absence of light. Darkness does not or cannot bring forth light as it does not contain light to bring it forth. On the other hand, Light can bring forth darkness by limiting its radiance. By introducing resistance, darkness becomes possible. With this understanding, you may also realize darkness has no power over light but rather is the creation of light and therefore subordinate to light. That is to say that light allows darkness to be.

In the manifest, both are essential expressions for without both light and dark there can be no differentiation, no variation of energy expression.

Knowing that light brought forth darkness makes a huge difference and is a massive shift in perspective from what the Bible teaches. What this understanding carries with it is that at our source we are light, we are energy, we are indestructible, and therefore infinite aware beings. At the heart of our being is light, energy and wellness. Wellness is our true eternal state. When we remove the resistance, wellness springs forth because wellness is the energy of our infinite being in expression, and any degree of not wellness is an expression of the resistance we’ve identified with and adopted, consciously or unconsciously which limits our experiencing our natural state of wellness.

With this understanding we may therefore go forth and express our well-being through allowing it to come forth. We don’t have to make it come forth because that is its natural tendency. What we have to do though is let go of the resistance which limits, gets in the way of, or impedes the wellness expression in being. Letting go, and allowing are the tools which enable and facilitate wellness expression.

A lion doesn’t have to try to be a lion that is what it is by nature. As it allows its true expression to come forth, lioness expresses. The same is true for each of us. An eternal light being doesn’t have to try to be an eternal light being, all we have to do is allow our true expression to come forth as eternal light beings. What that means is in order for us to experience our true being; we must release the resistance which stands in our way of that realization and expression. As such resistance presents itself to us, we can release it and as we do, the light of our true being naturally comes forth. It may seem that we are very far from expressing and experiencing our eternal light beingness because we’ve encased ourselves is such seemingly impenetrable shields of resistance, because we’ve identified with the resistance more than we’ve identified with our true well-being. And, that’s okay. You don’t have to suddenly burst free from the resistance you’ve identified with as yourself if you don’t want to. At the heart of your being, whether you acknowledge it or not, well-being is always here available and naturally willing to come forth to the degree that you allow it to be so.

I know surrender may seem like a giving up word, that you should never surrender, that you should maintain the struggle, the effort, the fight, but what are you struggling to protect? I submit to you, you are fighting to protect the limitation, the separateness, the ego which is the resistance encasing your magnificence, which stands between you and the realization you’ve sought your entire life.

With the misunderstanding that God created light out of darkness, it is easy to understand the hesitance to surrender, because with this understanding, if you surrender, you surrender to darkness rather than to light. So, you see the trap set by this misunderstanding? You don’t want to return to the dark, the nothingness, therefore you maintain the fight, the struggle, the heroic efforts to overcome the darkness, when it truth, it is the darkness which binds you, it is the darkness which holds you, which hides your true magnificent being from you.

And guess what, it is all self-imposed. God the infinite intelligent aware energy being, brought forth darkness in order to be able to play. When you realize you can still play as long as you want to, and you realize you have the choice of identifying with well-being or with resistance, you no longer have to struggle against the darkness/resistance to experience your well-being but rather surrender to well-being which enables a more enjoyable playful experience.

Are you conscious? Are you aware? That which is conscious and aware is that which is God within you.

You may therefore know the meaning of what Jesus said, “God, my Father in heaven, and I are one.”

Each person/being is an expression, a lens so to speak, which facilitates a unique perspective of God in expression. In all of creation, each of us is unique. That is to say there is not another me or another you and there will never be a duplicate of any of us. We are each novel expressions in being. Do you realize how magnificent that is, how important you are, how valuable, and how cherished you are to the overall beingness which is God?

In Debt?

Why are people in debt?

Our financial system is set up so that it promotes financial debts as a norm. Even though there are programs to reduce debt, the stronger forces/programs promote being in debt. Being in debt is an external expression of our internal energy state. Being enlightened is living in attunement with our source energy. Being in debt is an outward expression of being out of attunement. Being in debt becomes a problem when we move away from our balance point. Like a spinning top, a little wobble is okay, but increased wobble leads to the top crashing.

Solution: Seek your point of balance in each moment. Focus on maintaining your balance energetically, and as you attune to that, everything else in your life will also move into greater attunement. If you are currently way out of balance, start right now to move slowly towards your center. Here now awareness, focus and meditation are tools which will serve you well.

Perseverance furthers.

Mantra (Light Body)

Mantra

A Mantra is a word, phrase or sound which is repeated audibly or mentally for the purposes of quieting the ramblings of the mind and thereby experiencing inner peace and developing mental control and intentional focus abilities.

Typically, the student is instructed to find a place where he/she may sit comfortably with eyes closed for a period without distractions or disturbances. The use of a Mantra is often incorporated within the meditation practice, which may also include monitoring the breath as the student breaths in and out. Of course, monitoring the breath in this way applies only to mentally repeating the Mantra. Also, if you are not an experienced meditater, just sitting comfortably with eyes closed and focusing upon your breathing is an easy basic meditation practice.

As a side note: One can be mindful of the breath while walking, running, or some such repetitive type of exercise. One can also mentally repeat a mantra during more activities than a sitting meditation, but one should not practice either method when your attention and focus needs to be in the present moment to insure your life, health and safety. In other words, don’t do these exercises when you need to pay attention to what you are doing.

Another way mantras may be used is to attune to a specific vibration or field of energetic expression. That is to say, one pays particular attention to a specific idea or feeling to become attuned to it, one with it, or immersed within it. Such a mantra may be more than a simple sound or short phrase; although a simple sound or short phrase may also be effective in attuning the student to a specific vibration or field of energy when used with that intention.

With this information in mind, I’d like to share a mantra I found in the writings of Baird T. Spalding, within the pages of his series of books titled, “The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East.” First, I will present the mantra, and then delve into a deeper understanding of the words in the mantra in order to intellectually comprehend the scope, depth and value in attuning to the mantra’s specific vibratory state and/or energy field. It is important to actually feel the mantra so having a very clear understanding of the words may facilitate experiencing the mantra more fully. As I express the meaning of each word, it might be useful to take some time to contemplate the meaning of each word so that you progress in awareness and sort of flesh each word out within your own consciousness to your own satisfaction.

The Mantra:

“Infinite love fills my mind and thrills my body with its perfect light.”

Infinite: All encompassing, without boundaries, unlimited, expansive, abundant

Love: The highest expression in being, bliss, joy, fulfillment, expansive, attracting and attractive. Vibrationally and energetically, Love is the harmonic attunement with the ONE Source Being which is Infinite. So, Love is the constant and eternal expression of Source/Being.

Fills: as a verb means occupies completely the whole of a container. Fill, as a noun is a quantity that satisfies or satiates completely.

My: My is recognition of “Presence in being” and therefore experiencing, so “my” relates to ownership of that which is owned and or experienced, i.e. : the one experiencing the full expression of infinite love.

Mind: The element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons. So to state this in another way, mind is the seat of your conscious awareness.

So, Infinite love fills my mind, engulfs my conscious awareness. I’m aware of being immersed in this infinite energetic field which expresses as, and is experienced as blissful, fulfilling, expansive, and attractive being.

Thrills: feelings of excitement, exuberance, elation, also vibrates or trembles perceptibly.

Body: The organized physical substance, the material part of a human being. Also, includes the less substantial electromagnetic field which encapsulates and penetrates the material substance of a human being.

Perfect: Being entirely without fault or defect.

Light: electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength that travels in a vacuum with a speed of about 186,281 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second.

I like to also use the word “Life” in place of “Light.”

Life is defined as a principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings.

So to recite the mantra in a more wordy but meaningful way, one might say:

All encompassing, limitless, expansive, abundant blissful joy, fulfilling, and expansive, attracting and attractive vibrational energy completely occupies my conscious awareness and excites with exuberance and elation my physical substance and subtle electromagnetic field with flawless electromagnetic radiance.

So, when you repeat the mantra, you can intellectually have a greater grasp of what you are saying, and as you more fully understand what you are saying, you may more easily attune to the vibrational expression which is to say, you may actually experience and embody the mantra more fully through intentional aware focused repetition.

When repeating the Mantra go for the feeling and realization experientially of what you are saying. In this way, you will bring about the expression in being, your flawless electromagnetic radiance body
