In the days of the Master, there was a time when the disciples came to him, saying,<\/h2>\n

\u201cWho then is the greatest of heaven?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he called to him a little child, and set the child in the midst of his disciples, and said, Verily I say unto you, except ye turn and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.<\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

\u201cWhosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven; and whoso shall receive such a little child in my name receiveth me.\u201d (Matthew 18:1\u20135<\/em>, American Standard Version)<\/p>\n

Who is that little child? Who is the child? I am. The child is obviously a symbol. Jesus himself was not saying, \u201cI am a child.\u201d It\u2019s a symbol for something. And when we turn and become as little children, we don\u2019t shrink. It\u2019s a symbol for something. What is it? There\u2019s something truly open in this moment to the spirit of pure being.<\/p>\n

I have memories from my childhood. When I was in first grade I was very enthusiastic about learning how to read, and I got to the point where I was reading to my class. Then something changed in my mind. I remember a day when the whole way that I would think changed, and suddenly, from whatever the way my mind worked before, my mind would start to think in words after I learned how to read. \u00a0Every time I had a thought, the words would just kind of scroll across my forehead like a banner. And over time, as we grow, all of these words, all of these learnings that inflate and bind our minds grow like vines, sucking the life out of something that\u2019s truly present.<\/p>\n

The more inflated and the more bound our minds become, it\u2019s like we\u2019re living in a dream, always\u2014we\u2019re mad about something, or adamant about something. We\u2019re afraid to lose something of ourselves, something of our identity. But it doesn\u2019t exist, it\u2019s not real. It\u2019s a dream. When does the dream end? When? When will the children of the Father wake up? The little child is the awakened son.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a huge transformation in the being that\u2019s standing before you. I\u2019m awake. And the process of awakening came in the form of a dream that I wrote down, entitled \u201cThree Tests to Spiritual Wholeness,\u201d and I also call it \u201cThe Dream To End All Dreams.\u201d If you want to read all those details<\/a>, you\u2019re welcome to, but I\u2019ll just share with you very simply what the three tests were. I live them, in this moment.<\/p>\n

The three tests were, first, destruction of form, destruction of the ego. The second test was complete honesty:\u00a0 I was asked, \u201cWhat did you do to cause the problem?\u201d And I was able to be fully honest, because I had lost the forms that I was holding on to\u2014completely melted away. I was able to say, \u201cThis is what I had done that caused the problem.\u201d As I passed that test, the advice that was given to me was, \u201cSuch honesty is accountability to heaven, not man.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if people judge you for being completely honest and completely true. It does not matter if people judge you for being completely self-effacing about what you have done. People who judge would find a reason to judge you later anyway. Such honesty is accountability to heaven, not man.<\/p>\n

The third test was in a place where there was a man there that I regarded as the Father. He didn\u2019t see me, he didn\u2019t acknowledge me. And that test was simply to wait\u2014to be in a place where the Father could see me, but not demand his acknowledgment. Just wait.<\/p>\n

To let myself be destroyed, to let myself be completely honest, and to let myself be patient in the presence of the Father\u2014these were the three tests for spiritual wholeness.<\/p>\n

That was on the third of August, and since then, as all my dreams do, every symbol has manifested in my life, culminating last week with an explosion of energy in my being. The amount of energy in my spine, the amount of energy that is moving through me, completely exploded into this presence. And it was as though this seed, this golden seed in my navel opened up, and a golden man rose from a fetal position in my navel, and didn\u2019t stop at my body, it just kept going and going and going. My true self is here. It took a lot of time to get used to using my body again, because it\u2019s truly me<\/em> that\u2019s here now. The awakened son is here.<\/p>\n

My priorities are very different now. One of the things that\u2019s so different about me is that I went around thinking that I had completely lost my mind. But literally, it\u2019s like there\u2019s no difference between what\u2019s sincere and true to me and what comes out of my mouth and what comes out of my words and what comes out of my deeds. The inner has completely manifested in form in my outer world. There\u2019s no mind, there\u2019s no silent place that I can hold something that\u2019s true of myself and withhold it from the world. It\u2019s impossible now\u2014it\u2019s impossible. I\u2019ve lost the ability to withhold the truth.<\/p>\n

And as for my body… I don\u2019t have time to say everything I\u2019d like to say, but I will say this: This moment is the Garden of Eden. Everything around you is the kingdom. \u00a0To the degree that you could be open and see the kingdom in this moment, be in the garden<\/em> in this moment. The reason the mind judges things as good or bad or creates drama, or anything else that the mind is doing, is because it is starving for energy. It\u2019s starving\u2014it\u2019s like a man clutching, eternally dying for water in the desert. The mind is starving for energy. And when the awakened son comes, that energy is present and the mind can be at peace.<\/p>\n

Know this:\u00a0 My mind is like a calculator. \u00a0I use it when I need it, I take it out of my pocket, and I put it back in my pocket when I\u2019m done with it. Because I am awake, I am here<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to finish with the \u201cPrayer of Being,\u201d written by Martin Exeter. And as I say them, these are my words too, because I live them, and they are true for me.<\/p>\n

I am in heaven. The revelation of myself is holy. <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

My kingdom comes because I am here. My will is done in earth because my will is done in heaven.<\/em><\/p>\n

I give the bread of life in each moment of my living on earth. <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

I forgive, and that forgiveness is received by those who share the spirit of forgiveness. <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

I lead no one into tribulation, but deliver all evil into the creative cycle.<\/em><\/p>\n

For mine is the kingdom, present on earth, because I am present on earth. Mine is the creative power of the Word. And mine is the glory which results, shining round about, to be reflected by the world which I create.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nSo I end with a note of patience. This new cycle, every first step on a new cycle, starts with the spirit of patience. I am patient with the Father, that he will acknowledge and use my voice as he<\/em> sees fit, not me. And I am patient with his children. I don\u2019t demand recognition, I don\u2019t demand respect from anyone. But if you are awake, whenever it\u2019s right for you, come look me in the eyes and tell me, \u201cI am awake. Let us serve the Father, for the kingdom of heaven, together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
