Question: How do you get to know God and how do you express God?
Answer: Since God is within man in the form of
God consciousness, it is natural to let your mind be still, so that God
is not disturbed when God reveals his good qualities to the world. This
requires that you be still in body and soul and do not hear any disturbing sound or
make any noise, such as a mantra.
Be still, silent and accept life as it
is and let God's good thoughts arise in your mind.
Ask, and it
shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)
For this cause I bow my
knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and
earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your
hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend
with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know
the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that
we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Ephesians 3:14-20)
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said
unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what
shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
(Mark 8:34-37)
We shall therefore bow to the Father of Jesus who is
within us in the form of Love, Joy, Compassion and Power. So that the personal life
dies and the universal life that is God can live through us. How important is it
then to seek God in silence and let God's universal consciousness replace our
personal consciousness?
"The next great truth to be revealed through this consciousness is that each
individual, being a concept of the divine Mind, is held in that mind as a perfect idea.
Not one of us has to conceive himself. We have been perfectly conceived and are always
held in the perfect mind of God as perfect beings. By having this realization brought
to our consciousness, we can contact the divine Mind and so re-conceive what God has
already conceived for us. This is what Jesus called being 'born again.'
It is
the great gift the silence has to offer us; for by contacting the God-mind we can
think with God-mind and know ourselves as we are in reality rather than as we have
thought ourselves to be. We contact God-mind through true thought and so bring forth a
true expression; whereas, in the past, perhaps through untrue thought, we have brought
forth an untrue expression. But, whether the form be perfect or imperfect, the Being of
the form is perfect God-power, substance, and intelligence. It is not the Being of the
form that we wish to change but the form that Being has assumed.
This is to be
done through the renewing of the mind, or through the change from the imperfect to the
perfect concept, from the thought of man to the thought of God. How important then to
find God, to contact Him, to be One with Him and to bring Him forth into expression.
How equally important is the silence or the stilling of the personal mind, that the
God-mind in all its splendor may illumine the consciousness. When it does, then we
shall understand how 'the sun of righteousness (right-use-ness) shall rise with
healing in his wings.'
The mind of God floods consciousness as sunshine floods
a darkened room. The infusion of the Universal Mind into the personal mind is like the
entrance of the vastness of the outside air into the impurity of that which has long
been held in some close compartment. It stands alone, supreme, and we realize that we
are to build but one temple. The Temple of the Living God is the blending of the
greater with the lesser through which the lesser becomes one with the greater.
The impurity was caused by the separation of the lesser from the greater. The purity
is caused by their union, so that no longer is there a greater and a lesser but just
the one good, whole, pure air. Even so must we know that God is One and all things
visible and invisible are One with Him. It is separation from Him that has caused sin,
sickness, poverty, and death. It is union with Him that causes one to become a whole
Being or to become conscious of being whole.
"The separation from unity is the
descent of the angels on the ladder of consciousness. The return to unity is the ascent
of the angels upon the ladder. The descent is good, for unity then becomes expressed in
diversity, but in diversity there need be no concept of separation. That which is
diversity has been misconceived from the personal, or external viewpoint, to be
separation. The great work for each soul is to lift the personal viewpoint to such
heights in consciousness that it becomes one with the whole.
When all can 'meet
with one accord in one place,' that place in consciousness where it is understood that
all things visible and invisible have their origin in the one God, then we stand upon
the Mount of Transfiguration. At first we see Jesus and with Him Moses and Elias; or
Law and Prophecy, and the Christ, (the power within man to know God); and we think to
build three temples, but the deeper meaning comes.
We are given to realize the
immortality of man and to know that divinity is never lost, that Divine man is
deathless, eternal. Then Moses—the Law, and Elias-the Prophecy, disappear; and the
Christ stands alone supreme and we realize that we have to build but one temple—the
Temple of the Living God within our very selves. Then the Holy Spirit fills the
consciousness and the sense delusions of sin, sickness, poverty, and death become no
more. This is the great purpose of the silence.
"This temple from which you may
chip a piece and the scar will be instantly healed but typifies the temple of our body,
of which jesus spoke, the temple not made by hands, eternal in the heavens, which we
are to bring forth here on earth."

George Adamski was told by his space
friends that: Man is a divine spirit who currently lives in a body. His life's task is
to know his true self, which is equal to the 'feeling body'. "You must try
to make the people on Earth understand that self-knowledge is the first step in their
development. And the first questions are: Who am I? Along what paths can I develop
in order to return to the unity I once left? Point out to them that man has nothing
to add. He only needs to express what he already is. But he must learn to understand
what he is and give expression to this in his life. For it is life, the application
that is important."
Because I can't sit in
meditation position, I lie on a bed and close my eyes. I then relax from head to
toe. Then I ask God's Spirit to reveal the truth about myself
If you then,
being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" (Luke 11:13)
Then God usually changes the feeling in my body to well-being and only as much
as I can accept. That makes me feel very good. When I get up from bed, the feeling
usually remains. But when I then meet other beings, I usually be loving towards my
neighbor. Because
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord (not three): And thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is
like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
commandment greater than these. (Mark 12:29-31)
Beloved, let us
love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16)
