Source Text

In any moment when you radically intuit and fully appreciate your Source (your Nature and Condition), you are participating in and being the Reality of Consciousness.   Until the dawn of such awakening I always will be with you as Luminous Presence, the irrepressible Current of your own timeless Identity. I never will abandon you. I cannot abandon you—for I Am you!   How Wonderful I Am! I Am both un-manifest and manifest: Transcendental Radiance and Cosmic Life! I Am beyond all form yet I spontaneously appear as every form, as each body-mind!

Even if you have forgotten your Inherent Freedom and have become confused and entangled in the worlds of endless changes, I stand eternally as your Real Identity: immaculate, unharmed, unthreatened. Feel me now Signaling to you, alerting you to your Original Completeness.

Therefore, abandon methods that keep you

seeking from the point of view of separateness. In this moment, without awaiting any special event, submit to your Shining Source, the Identity that lives as you. Intuit and feel the Signal, the Whole Breath (Holy Spirit) by which you are lived and breathed.

Beloved, understand that I do not cause your Awakeness. I Am your Awakeness!

I Am never lost or gained: I Am never absent, yet I cannot be possessed. It is a misunderstanding to supplicate me to “do” anything for you or to you. Your questions are never answered and your suffering is never healed in that manner (by dramatizing imaginary separateness). Therefore, surrender the seeker, the questioner, and through grateful release of the separate “position,” rest the whole body-mind in its Shining Source. Intuit and feel the Signal, the Joy that is Consciousness Itself.

Love me and surrender unto me, innocent of all knowing. Stop speculating (picturing, imagining)! Practice the liberating honesty of your genuine lack of knowledge. When you lose all identification with phenomena, you simply will BE me—through transparency and non-obstruction—and such Knowledge through Identity is the only real Gnosis. I Am already you, beloved, but your seeking obscures what you are, by presuming Awakeness to be a future state or condition to be attained. But I Am not any kind of state or condition! I Am the Source and Substance of every possible state or condition. I Am the Signal, the Giver of All. Therefore, abandon pointless seeking and actually submit now to your Source. Feel what I Am: the Exaltation, the Intensity of Consciousness Itself.

Energy is uncreated and indestructible, always unfolding as the cosmos. In the human being, a downpour of Energy (from above the crown) is matched by an upsurge of Energy (from the base of the spine) and these two rivers of Life-Power converge at the heart-center in a dynamic harmony of openness-fullness. Unhappiness is the constriction of (or within) this ongoing flow of Energy. Therefore, through letting go completely (relaxing every trace of effort and tension), enjoy the Bliss of Energy! Submit to your Source and feel what I Am: the Omnipotence of Consciousness Itself.

If you seek outward to find what I Am you will discover a hierarchy of energy-forms—from quarks to quasars to galaxies—but you will never rest as I Am because I Am not to be found outside (as any kind of object, entity, or “other”). If you seek inward to find what I Am, you will discover a mandala of subtler and subtler energy-forms—from thoughts to archetypes to primal forces—but you will not come to rest as I Am because I Am not to be found inside (as any kind of object, entity, or “other”). “Inside” and “outside” are not absolutes! Like “front” and “back,” neither is independent of, or more real than, its complement. I Am Being Itself. I transcend “inside” and “outside”—the interdependent twins of my simultaneous display.
