slash zip. No beloved, what is love? It must be a beloved, a diamond straight love.

And so you have an object, your emanation, which is nothing more than your wife. Not your physical

wife, the body is your emanation. That's your wife. So the sleep of death is over. And you so loved

it. You're going to transform it into the most beautiful, perfect thing in the world, which is

just like you, who is perfect. For he chose us in him before the foundation of the world.

That we should be holy and blameless before him. That's what we're told.

So he chose me, who he would I am, but to become me, he has to forget that I am here.

And he thinks he is never. He has to. He chose me in him before the foundation of the world.

But now I am the one who forgot and became ever. When I awake,

I know I was before the foundation of the world. But now I bring never with me.

I know I have one more aspect of my protein being. I have another being. I have redeemed.

I've put it out with it and brought it back. And now I am the protein being. Because I can see

others and let the others see me as never. So they see me as never. But do they really see me?

They see me as never. When they see me close in power,

close in wisdom, or maybe close in love. They see me because I so loved that. I gave myself to it

and raised it to the level of my own being prior to coming down into it and burying myself within it.

So when I try night after night, I have to tell it. I hesitate. Because I wonder if this is

clear as I can make it. I know what I want to say. But how to say so that it is understood

that it is intelligible. Because you've got to go through all the preconceived misconceptions

that man has concerning Scripture. And so I say to experience Scripture, to experience God's

plan of salvation is leaving the whole purpose of life. While we are here, we can be anything we

want to be. And the being within us who with our true being allows it. I will go the part with us

and play everything. But I am speaking to the God in you, the God in Scripture whose name is

Elohim, or Jehovah, or the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the same being who is buried in you. He

actually buried in you. And that being will rise. Now teach me your Lord. Teach me your Holy Spirit.

The testimony of Jesus. That I may actually comprehend wondrous things out of the Divine Lord.

Teach me your Holy Spirit. Or tell me the story of the God who became man. But man may become God.

And then you tell the story in a very simple way. For truth, if body to the tail shall enter

in of lowly doors. So you tell it in the simplest tail immaculate. Right in the beginning you tell

the story. In body in the tail shall enter in of lowly doors. So mother would take me on her knee

and tell me the story of Jesus. She had no father. But he did one day claim he was the father.

Well, she didn't understand that. Another did I. He had no father. But he claimed he was the father.

I and my father won. When she told me that he had a miraculous birth, it was not like any birth in

the world. Something different. And then she told me, if she says, if unless we are born in a

similar manner, or he said, I am from above, that he is born from above. And unless you are

born from above, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. He also says that the most perfect man

born of women was John the Baptist. And yet the least in the kingdom is greater than John the Baptist.

If we're John the Baptist cannot be in the kingdom of heaven, if the least is greater than he.

But how little it becomes, the least is greater, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

Mother did not understand that. And more than I did when she told me.

Then she told me that David in the spirit called him by Lord. She didn't understand that and

neither did I. And then she told me that he identified himself as the son of man.

And then likened the son of man to a fiery serpent. And that unless the son of man is lifted up

in the same manner, in which the fiery serpent was lifted up, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

And she told me that when he was baptized, a dove descended upon him and remained upon him.

And the outer man, the outer man was called John. And he knew because it was revealed to him the one

and whom the dove descended and remained was the son of God, the one that came done from heaven.

For no man could have sinned into heaven except the one who came done from heaven, the son of man.

All this was a mystery. But a lovely story that excited the child mind.

And so you carried it with you. This is something that is all within you and then come this shocking

sentence. When you least expect it, it all happens in you. And I go back to Ephesians.

He said it for as a plan in Christ for the fullness of time. He said it for in Christ. In Christ

and Christ is in you. God himself descended into man. And he said for his plan of redemption

in Christ. So in Christ, it is in man. It has now to unfold in man. So it unfolded in me.

And I realized that I am he who came down. For no man can go up unless he first came down.

Was having gone up in the fiery serpent manner that I must have been the one who descended.

But when I went up, I went up without the loss of the identity of never. So I came down and

redeemed a being called ever. You come down and so I identify yourself with the being that

you believe yourself to be. When you go up, you take that which you have redeemed with you.

You present it to your brothers for the all waiting for the presentation of your act of faith.

For faith is complete self-commission. I cannot commit myself to that which I do not love.

So God is love. So I loved it. And I rebelled with all of us to commit myself to that.

And then I committed myself to it and lost all consciousness of the being that I really am

in my self-commission to the object of my love. And then I went through hell as we all do.

But as Paul said, I consider the suffering of this present time not worth comparing

with the glory that is to reveal in us what glory. The only glory is the glory of God.

So the cry of one who has accomplished the job is this in the 17th of John.

I have accomplished the work thou gave us me to do. Now glorify thou myself, glorify thou

me with thy own self, glorify me with your own self. Return unto me the glory that was mine,

the glory that I had with thee before that the world was. So bring it in now, the glory that I gave

up in my self-commission to the object of my love. Now let it return. So I brought back individual

lives, a garment I could wear eternally. It was dead, and I'd like to see that fell into the ground

and die, revealing the great secret, the mystery of life through death. So I died. I died when I

became this and then suffered all the hell of the world and then the pattern that I contain

unfolded within me. So he remained manifest unto me the mystery of his will according to his

purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time. So he set it forth

in Christ as the plan. Well that plan is Jesus Christ buried in man, it's the pattern for the

pattern man. How to tell the world that Jesus Christ is the pattern of salvation buried in man.

When man has been taught to believe that Jesus Christ is a little man who will walk two thousand

years ago and then disappear having told the story. To return again into this world physically

that physical eyes would seem as coming from without. That's what the world has been told. But that

is the truth embodied in a tale that it may enter in at lowly doors or if you told it as I've told

you tonight, the world couldn't take it. There will be shock beyond measure to hear what you

have heard tonight. So they would not accept it. They believe in some little external savior

that came two thousand years ago and who promised to return and the great teaches of the dairy

great in the sense of numbers but not in understanding are looking for him to come from without.

He can come from without because he is buried within us. He can only come when he awakens

with enough and that pattern is the pattern in a seed but which is God's seed, the word of God,

buried in man. It unfolds within man. But it unfolds within man everything said of Jesus Christ,

the individual in whom it unfolds, experiences it in the first person singular present tense

experience. Then he knows who God is. He always was God who emptied himself and took upon himself

the form of man. And being found in the form of man, he became a billion under death. He put death

upon the cross of man and was made in that state a slave. But in the end he fulfills his purpose.

And then he is given a name that is above all names. That at the name of Jesus every need should

bow. And every time confessed that Jesus is Lord to the glory of all. But who is that Jesus? He's in

you. So when you ask people to fill and accomplish the job that you took upon yourself,

you will bear the name of Jesus. There is only one Lord. The old return,

carefully as we are, we return as though one Lord, the one God, the one Father of all,

one body, one spirit, not maybe, and yet without Lord to my identity.

If I could take you with me into the actual experience coming through two mornings ago,

if I am on the service of my being, I would bet you what I'm doing. But I'm spirit.

There is this whole glass world and the world is dead. Just dead. I cannot move it unless I come

down into it. I come down into it, but now with the memory of having been born from above,

having come down into it, I can change. Prior to being born from above, you lose all

consciousness of the being that you are that came from above and you come back night after night

into the garment and you simply one more of the crowd, God. But now after the birth from above,

after you begin to grow, instead you, in the favor of the gods, you see that you in the same

similar birth, memory now remains. So you come back in the morning from your union with the

godfather and you come back and you see it for what it is all day. But now you do not lose the

consciousness as you did prior to the birth from above. So you come down and you can change it

if you saw desire, but why change it? Listen to these words that came from Blake,

when Blake departed this world, but Blake was born from above long before he departed this world.

So in a book called Looking at Modern Paintings, there's a chapter on Max Beckman,

considered a great modern artist, modern paintings. She said he met Blake in this super-terrestrial world,

and there was this giant of a man, like a supernatural being, and he raised greetings to him.

And he said to me, have confident in objects, do not let yourself be intimidated by the

horror of the world. Everything is ordered and correct, and must fulfill its destiny in order

to attain perfection. Follow this path, and you will attain from your own ego,

and have a deeper perception of the eternal beauties of creation. You will also attain

an ever-increasing release from all that which now seems to you so sad and untalable.

The whole thing is ordered, the whole thing leads towards the perfection that you determined to

bring about, when you emptied yourself as God and actually became the being that you are today.

And you will awake from it all, and you will return to the glory that was yours before the world was,

only magnified beyond what it was by reason of your venture into this world of death.

This was the limit of contraction, the limit of capacity, and you took it upon yourself.

No, there is no limit to the expansion, to the trans loosens that you bring back.

So we all are returning to the being that we were before that the world was.

So when we read, he chose us in him before the foundation of the world.

We were the gods. We were the sons of God that collectively make God.

So that wonderful compression of a Hebrew faith is the greatest compression in the world.

Here, O, it's real. The Lord, our God, the Lord is one.

Jehovah, which is simply I am,

friendly to the Lord, you're hot and away, the Lord.

And here, our God, as plural, Elohim, we are the God.

But together, we are, I don't know, one God.

So it takes the one made up of many,

to form the one God that is the confession of the Shema of Israel.

Here, O Israel, the Lord, our God, the Lord is one.

Never forget it. No little man,

little picture, you stand before and worship.

All this is dead.

But men make idols of men. So he has money.

So he's a tyrant, like a Lenin.

So they make a little icon of Lenin.

And housing every day will pass.

This stupid little thing, it will be kept on display.

I read Buckley's tape with today.

There was great line, Denning Glad.

It used to be,

some Peter's words.

It was Peter's square, the strange square.

Now, it is Denning Glad.

And here, this is a mummified thing.

On the frame of his walking by, the little mummified thing,

he had his hand in his pocket.

And the God is the most impressive manner

to take your hand out of your pocket.

It will pass me through holy ground.

Here is the word made for us,

as he tells the mummies.

And the way he treated it was perfectly marvelous,

the way he treated this whole,

a stupid concept of worshiping this little thing.

But they had to pick it up a few years ago

and rebuild it because time takes us to old.

And it was disintegrating it.

And this is their little icon, the new worship.

I tell you, the only God in the world is with you.

You are the God.

One day, you will know it.

One day, you will have a soul within you.

You will have a story kept on you.

For when he unfolds within you,

everything set of him in scripture,

you are going to experience

in the first person's singular present tense experience.

I am his only son,

which is only the personification of all the experiences

that you have ever had,

as man, for to take all the experiences of marrying.

And all the man could ever experience,

and choose into a single hole,

and personify their holes,

and it comes out as a baby,

the baby of scripture,

the great Swami, that baby.

And he stands before you and he calls you,

my doors.

He calls you, my throttle.

That is the only son of God,

which is a personification of the sum total

of all the experiences of humanity.

For when you, playing the part your plans,

have gone through all the gamut,

the nameless, capable of experiencing,

is the end you over it.

And then the sum total of the experiences,

is fused and personified and stands before you,

and he is the glorious, beautiful,

that baby.

And he calls you, my throttle,

my Lord.

And the drama is always for your concern.

Then you join the brothers,

that you knew before the world was,

and you contemplate the world of death.

To become one of those who ingrained you,

to contemplate death,

and you too will say,

what seems to be is,

to grow, to whom it seems to be.

And it's productive of the most dreadful consequences,

to those to whom it seems to be.

Even if tall,

despair,

and eternally.

But the vineyard, we step beyond,

and redeems you in the one body,

the Lord Jesus,

is general.

It's only one body, one spirit,

one Lord, one God,

and Father of all.

So all are redeemed in space.

But the man, as a man,

can redeem himself,

is God in man,

that is new in the world.

She who began the good work in you

will bring it to completion,

at the unbrealy in you,

of God,

as you.

So my problem,

night after night,

is to find words to tell it.

I know what I want to say,

but the problem is how to say,

how to say,

that it is understood,

that it is intelligent,

because you must always bear to remind

your faith in an audience,

that may not be prepared

for the shock,

for it is a shock to the human mind

to tell them who there are.

They rather be pained

on something external to themselves

and pray to it.

So they go to church and I get a candle,

and they bow before someone,

that a man may cross,

or a man may still are,

and they do all these things on the outside.

I know one has confidence in himself,

and the stealth of man is God.

Where wonderful human imagination

reveals that is the eternal God.

So tonight I say,

our roots are in God,

and God himself

unfolds himself within us.

I could have said,

our roots are in divine imagining,

and divine imagining

unfolds itself within us.

But

it doesn't matter what else.

I personally like the word go on,

but I do not put him on the outside

or something to worship.

Well, you will accept that better.

If I said God,

if I said divine imagining,

so I did not say

in the beginning of the lecture.

I know presented to you,

but when you imagine that God creating,

and all things are possible to God.

So begin to imagine that God,

God in action,

but believe in the reality of the imagine action.

So you imagine yourself to be

what reason the knowledge is in your sense is deny.

But imagine it.

God had to completely

abandon himself

to the form of man,

to believe himself man.

Do you know what that means?

The dream that you believe are?

Well, I tell you,

when you come back

after the birth from above,

and are in your self spirit,

I'm in spirit,

but more because of anything

in the whole world,

to all put together.

But you are stupid,

and you are more real

than any object in space,

or all the object in space.

But to come ground

far into the birth is to forgive yourself

as a spirit.

God is stupid.

And you do it

after this birth without loss of identity,

just a report about it.

And you come back into the world,

and pick up the garment that is a sheep on the day,

call it normally, naturally.

They didn't shape it,

it didn't feed it,

and draw the normal things with it.

But you know it to be a garment.

And you know you've extracted from it

a certain identity,

which I dangerously

you take back, I spit it.

For the body is going to be put into the furnace

when we just got it.

That will be simply reduced

to the past that it is.

But you've extracted from it

a certain identity,

and you take back into the brotherhood,

your accomplishments

you came down and dyes

as a man.

And now you go back,

bring in back the identity,

the man that you wore

soon as it ages.

And you take it back.

And you're all greeted

in joy because you accomplished that

which you intended.

So the will of God will not turn direct

until he has executed and accomplished

the intents of his mind.

In the latter days,

you understand it perfectly.

Or be in the latter days.

So the sufferings of the present age

cannot be compared to the glory

that is to be revealed enough.

So those who need for you,

and if for you all of your sons,

we are the sons.

We go to your sex, we are the sons.

Or in the right to be around

above the organization of sex,

you know, they will not be emailed

to the God.

And those who need for you,

we all to predestine.

And those who need predestine,

we all to call.

And those who need called,

we all to justify it.

And those who need justify it,

we all to glorify it.

So no matter what you have done as man,

you will receive justification.

And the words divine acquittal,

complete acquittal,

no matter what you've done.

If you place the part of what you know,

or the sterile,

or any other wants to,

you will be acquitted.

On the sterile,

you want them all to suffer.

But your brothers, knowing the part you play,

they don't want you to self-friendly.

They want you to awaken from the dream of being a Hitler,

the dream of being a sterile,

or any other sort of character in the world.
