"That there is an all-wise, intelligent Spirit, that this intelligence
is Divine and infinite and permeates all things, cannot be contradicted. Because this
intelligence does permeate all things it is infinite and is the source of all. It is
Divine, and its Divinity brought into thinkable or visible form, the fact or truth of
all things.
You can name this all-wise, intelligent Spirit God or Good, or what
you will, as man must have a name for everything. Once he has named a thing, he has
the power to bring it into existence. If man names anything through true
reverence,
worship and
praise, he can and does become
which he names.
Thus you can see that man by choice can become God or animal.
He becomes the ideal which he presents for himself to follow. With this line of
thinking, it is simple to see that man is the only-begotten Son of God, or the
only-begotten son of the animal. Thus, by choice, man can become evil or devil if his
eye behold evil; or he becomes God; if his eyes beholds God....

There are many ideas about how best to get in touch with this all-wise, intelligent
spirit who is called God and is Good.
Stop chasing. You already have everything that you need. Your buddha nature
is already whole. Your buddha nature is already pure. There is absolutely nothing to
obtain.You just have to completely give up and let go of your self created
obscurations that are obscuring your buddha nature.
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche
There are different buddhist practices out there, for different people, with
different capacities, at different stages of their path. All are designed to help
remove these layers of obscurations, revealing what has always been there - buddha
nature.
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche
Eckhart Tolle has in his book
The Power of Now described the discovery of being which is the silent existence
between our thoughts. As I see it, being is the same thing as the aliens'
"feeling body". According to
Eckhart Tolle
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."
Chamtrul
Rinpoche, Eckhart Tolle and George Adamski point out that we do not need to add anything
or create any new feeling in the feeling body by visualizing our divinity.
It is by living in silence and thinking as little as possible that one experiences
Eckhart Tolle's being, which is the same as Jesus the Father and the Buddha Nature of
the Buddhists.
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father
in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that
dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father
in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He
that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than
these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (John 14:10-12)
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)
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy
mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered
right: this do, and thou shalt live. (Luke 10:27-28)
He that loveth
his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
(1 John 2:10)
If we don't have the opportunity to love our neighbor.
Then love yourself and enjoy yourself. Then you live in good and healing body
vibrations.
Paul said:
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
And be renewed
in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created
in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:23-24)
And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(Romans 12:2)
"We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in
terms of being. We think that when we’re not doing anything, we’re wasting our time.
But that’s not true. Our time is first of all for us to be....To be what? To be alive,
to be peaceful, to be joyful, to be loving. And this is what the world needs the most.
We all need to train ourselves in our way of being, and that is the ground for all
action. Our quality of being determines our quality of doing."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh,
The Art of Living
"Many people suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we
release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore. Mindfulness helps you
come home to the present. Life is available only in the present."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
We have all the good qualities inside
of us, but we don't recognise them. The traditional example is that of a beggar who has
a treasure buried in his hut under the ground, but he doesn't know it, so every day he
goes out and he begs and he gets a few coins and thinks himself doing well. Meanwhile,
he's been a multimillionaire all this time, but he's not looking in the right place.
He doesn't know that he has to dig down and then that treasure will be revealed to him.
We are like that. We all think that we're deprived, that we're not good people,
that we have all these problems, that we have very low self-esteem and always
criticising ourselves, and our internal dialogue is often putting ourselves down rather
than embellishing our potential and recognising that we do have this inner potential of
genuine basic goodness, our Buddha-nature. Which all beings have. It's not just,
"I have Buddha-nature and everyone else is just a sentient being". All sentient beings
have Buddha-nature. In the Vajrayana, this is what is refered to as the pride of the
deity. That we see oneself as the deity and recognise that this is our true nature. -

"The next great thruth 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 concieved 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 silence has to offer us; for by contacting the God-mind we can think
with the God-mind, and know ourselves as we are in reality, rather than we have
thought ourselves to be.
We contact God-mind through true thought and so bring
forth a true expression. Wheras, 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 Being of the form 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 imperfect to the perfect concept, from the thought of man to the thought of God.
Silence-Stillness, knowing God and yourself!
Imagine a ladder from earthly consciousness to heavenly consciousness. It is just as
important to leave our lower consciousness, forgetting the obscurations of Buddha nature
as we go, as it is to reach for the higher Christ consciousness as we ascend the ladder
of consciousness.
~ Hermes Atar Trismegistus, a Christ grain.
