“The Silence of Absolute Love”

In a letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul expressed life’s goal in these words: “And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

Beyond human definitions of silence and love, there exists the realm of original Silence, Peace, and Love, where conflict and duality do not exist, and where all are in Ultimate Union with the One. Here, no words need to be spoken or thoughts responded to. Being in Absolute Love is to open oneself to Absolute Silence, Peace, Presence, or God.

“Universal Synthesis in Daily Living”

A definition and explanation of universal synthesis can be found in Christ’s words, “The Father and I are One.” In this statement, he proclaimed that the presence of the Universe, both physical and spiritual, was One with his psyche or soul, and he with it.

Yet, the message he most wished to convey to the world was found in his words, “All of you are equal unto me, and even greater things than I you shall do.” With these words, Christ elevated all who would listen at that time, and all who would come in the centuries that followed, to a divine possibility.

That divine possibility is that anyone could do as he did; raise themselves to the level of consciousness he had achieved, and perhaps even do greater things in the future.

Jesus lived his life as the Christ, and what made Jesus the Christ was that he lived in a state of universal synthesis with God every day of his life.

“The Kingdom of Heaven Mystically and Psychologically Understood”

Throughout the New Testament, there is more said by Jesus about the Kingdom of Heaven by far than about any other subject of which he spoke. This of course makes sense when one considers that he told the disciples to go forth into the world and teach the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. The reason for all of this was that Jesus’ whole presentation of spiritual reality rested upon the concept and the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven.

About 2,000 years ago, during his lifetime on earth, Jesus told people, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” He also stated, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” Above all else that Jesus communicated to people was the importance he placed on the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus put this emphasis on the Kingdom of Heaven because more than anything else, it was the greatest spiritual value that he could bring to people.

“Channeling God”

Note these words of Christ in the New Testament which contain a great mystical truth: “I speak to them, not in words of men, but in words of spirit.” Spirit, as Christ referred to it, meant God. In effect, he was saying that it was God speaking through him. The Jesus part of his personality, or his personal ego mind, was set aside so that God’s Presence or Spirit could speak directly through him.

In the latter part of the twentieth century, the practice of channeling became popular among many people. They would gather to hear words of wisdom spoken, supposedly, through higher beings; gods, goddesses, spirit guides, and angels. No matter which of these was the hypothetical source for the spoken channeling, all shared one common denominator, which was that all information came from an outside source. People seemingly received information from “something” outside their own minds.

Then, and up to the time of this writing, people doing the channeling had a shared belief; all claimed that what was being channeled was from a source other than God. This is easy to understand inasmuch as channelers, except perhaps for a few, claim to be mystics.
