BLESSINGS

'They were gathered together in one place, of their own accord, and were baptized of the Holy Ghost."

Many people do not accept the blessing of the fulfilment of the law. Time after time they are "gathered together of their own accord,' but, by failing to recognize that thy have functioned a law that is fruitful of results, they sit trying to make the goodness of God appear, instead of receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost : instead of feeling the down pouring Floods of light and illumination the great engulfing inrush of blessings. To function the law of spirit is to automatically release its fulfilment.

Awake, thou that sleepeth - awake and arise from the dead, and Christ - your Inner Lord shall give thee light; and you shall suddenly and with great happiness of soul, make a joyful noise unto the Lord, for you will see and hear great floods of blessings, blessings so numerous they are as the sands of the sea. Right here and now, right throughout the blackness of your material thinking, break the floods of light that reveal the blessings as already here and now. As the coming of light in a darkened art gallery reveals thousands of treasures which were there all the time, yet invisible, so the coming of your recognition of the Presence illumes your very own universe and reveals to you the infinite blessings all about you.

'Blessings, blessings, blessings, so many you cannot count them." Right now - right here. Because you and I have at this place of at-one-ment. You, the reader, and 1, the writer, have met in this place of glorious recognition of the inner Christ, have "Done this of our accord", we are at this glorious instant functioning the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Yes, you are at this instant baptized by the Holy Ghost; the great flood of light which reveals heaven - here and now. At this instant your eyes are being bathed in pure light, and the scales of human reasoning and limitation are dropping from them. You are at this instant seeing the wonders of the Kingdom here and now. You are filled with the thrilling sense of joy, and you exclaim for the first time in your life: 'Blessings, blessings, blessings, so any you cannot count them." You exclaim from the heights of recognition the vision that is revealed to you of your true self. Blessings, blessings, blessings. They are at this instant flooding you. You are clear and free from the limitations of former beliefs. You lave in the glorious waters of Spirit. A million barnacles of belief fall) from you. Your entire being - your body - with your whole universe is permeated with the pure, glistening, pulsating substance of Life - Life of God. And you, standing in the eternal ways, are experiencing this oneness with the universal Whole - the result of having recognized that you have functioned a definite Law of Spirit. Do you see? Are you at this instant experiencing the baptism which you have brought about? You who read this page?

Phrases and words are old and trite. Repeating the wondrous words of the Bible is like stating so any platitudes to ears that hear only the letter, or like the remembrance of so any tormenting, unfulfilled promises to those who are trying to make these words come true. Attempting to record the inspiration of the Almighty in man made words is almost impossible. No wonder, then, that the Spirit says "I AM the voice of the one crying in the wilderness' (of human hope), "prepare ye the way of our Lord.' The Way of our Lord is the way that is flooded with blessings. It is the way of self-expression, the way of the Christ Self. It is a way that comes not with reason, but is IMPRESSED upon the mind, as a man who has lain down to sleep in a dark night finds that, while he slept, the new day has already burst upon him - unannounced, unheralded. Who can stay the dawn? No more can you with stay the glorious dawn of the Kingdom of Heaven, that even now is breaking over the horizon of your night of self-imposed limitations and tears. Even now you stand at the threshold of a new day, which is the day of NOW - the Day of Revelation. you who read this page, do you hear? It is DAYBREAK for you. Do you hear? The hard, ugly objects against which you stumbled in the darkness are revealed in the light of truth as glorious blessings.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not far off - it is near. Awake! It is for your acceptance. Too good to be true? Yes, to the human sense. Must take time? Yes, to the human sense. Is not practical? Not to the human sense. A thousand have tried it and failed, just because they TRIED it. There is no effort in the action of God. Unlabored, untrammeled, free into expression is its manner of appearing. "Ten thousand shall fall at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee." Believest thou this?

The object in the distance does not grow in size as you move towards it, although it seems to. It has always been the same size, but as you approach it, it appears to be larger than when viewed from afar. So with the Kingdom which you perceive in the far distance of your life. Nothing can be added to it, nothing taken away from it. You are playing with the shadows of belief when you think to add or take from, the word of God. You cannot take a little of the substance of God's riches as a thief might steal a handful or money from a bank. There is no separation, and no place to take anything FROM. Everything is here and now. You cannot take anything from the sum total of a radio concert: regardless of the size of the room into which it is released, it is inside, outside, and everywhere, and inseparably joined all the time. It is only the limited human concept that stops the concert at one point and starts it the other side of a wall. In reality it is everywhere and complete.

You do not grow into the Kingdom, yet to the human sense of things you SEEM to be growing more and more spiritual. What you ARE doing is becoming more and more aware of the Kingdom as here and now. Healing, then, is only becoming aware, in a more or less degree, of a spiritually perfect man. Do you not take heart at the glorious news that the Kingdom is already here, and lay aside the sin of trying to make it appear, or trying to keep others out of the glorious possibilities of the Sons of the Living God, by first telling them they are sons of perdition, and are full of evil? Awake, thou that sleepeth! When will you cease the condemnation of a Kingdom? When will you cease the stone-casting at yourself and others? Neither do I condemn thee - go, and sin no more.'

'BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS. SO MANY YOU CAN NOT COUNT THEM.' not the old concept of blessings, which is a cross between self-pity and self-righteousness, but the revelation of the Kingdom. When the word 'Blessings" is said from the vantage point of recognition, it actually floods the soul with light and glory. Speak the word. 'Only speak the word, and my servant [Body] shall be healed," and the "word" is 'I will. Bless you, bless you, bless you."

Blessings, blessings, blessings go out from this state of consciousness like million of birds loosed on a plague-ridden country. Each one shall destroy the ugly pest from off the land, and in a twinkling of an eye you shall see the land (your land) green and fresh and fair. Blessings, blessings, blessings. "My word shall not return unto Me void, but shall accomplish whereunto it is sent.' Do you hear? You who read this page? You? 'And it shall come to pass' - do you hear? This is a statement of fact. And it shall come to pass!' - it is bound to happen - 'if thou shalt harken diligently unto the voice of the Lord' (not the voice of man). "The Lord thy God [the Lord in the midst of thee will set thee on high above all nations of the earth" - above all the false law that you have functioned under on the earth.

'And all these blessings shall corn? on thee." Beloved, put up your sword. Do you not see that, even while you are fighting in the darkness, these blessings are finally bound to overtake thee? They shall come upon thee like a thief in the night. A thief in the night comes in silence, at the darkest hour. Be still, be still, be still. It is well with thee.

"Blessed shalt thou be is the city and blessed shalt thou be in the field.' Wherever thou art, thou shalt see the floods of blessings about thee. Whether it be in the city or whether it be in the open field, the All-Blessing is there. There is no place where the I AM, with its full quota of blessings, is not. Do you see, then, why the command is, "Go, take no thought for the scrip, the purse, the rob, the ring, the journey?" But as long as man is still working on the personal plane, he finds his mind much occupied with the amassing of things for the journey. He says, 'I want much money, so that I can do the work of God and help others." tear off this mask of selfishness and stand free. If you want much, it is to be known of man and your charities. The Son of the Living God does not want much knowing that he has it all. He has nothing to do with possessions but to give them away. He must of necessity break the bread in order that the multitudes may be filled. Be still. Be still. Be still. That which is obvious does not need to be mentioned.

'Blessed shall be the fruits of thy body, and the fruits of thy ground, and the fruits of thy cattle. and the increase of thy kind, and the flocks of thy sheep." Everything you touch will be blessed, and the glorious universe which seemed for lo, these many years, to be a desert, parched and dried, will suddenly burst into bloom, and everything shall be blessed and glorified, while the beautiful fruits of the former desert shall be unlimited.

Do you see, beloved, the eleventh hour has struck, and floods of light are emanating from the very presence of the Kingdom, here and now, filtering through the darkness of your human belief?

Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store." Blessed shall be the increase of good that shall fill every empty place of former years, and thou shalt be the impersonal giver of all good - learning that the way of revelation of increase lies in the ability to place yourself in the role of the infinite, impersonal giver.

The world is flooding over with joy running over with the glory of this infinite downpour of blessings that you have called forth by recognition. If you lie in a bed racked with pain, the streaming light of this blessing will reveal to your human eye the perfection of the Son of the Living God, and you shall arise. Do you hear? If you sit in rags wondering where the next meal is coming from, you shall suddenly find yourself richly clothed, and know the abundance of the child of the Highest. Do you hear? Do you hear, you who read this line? Do you see that "whereas before you were blind, now you can see?" Now. Do you utter silently, 'Blessings, blessings, blessings - so any you cannot count them?' Do you?

And whithersoever thou goeth thou shalt find, "Blessed shalt thou be when thou goest in and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.""Be not afraid: it is I.' Be not afraid of your good - I give the Kingdom of Heaven, not to the adult, but to the child. The child can accept its world and heaven of blessings without question, without reason, without tiresome argument, or trying to make it happen. Do you see that the adult is the only one who can commit adultery? He adulterates everything, even the word of God. He places heaven at the end of a human life of misery, and makes the gateway thereunto, death - whereas I AM the LIFE. The Kingdom of Heaven shall not be taken by violence, by reason, neither shall it be entered through the portals of death. And yet YOU die daily, and YOU must be born again. You die to the human beliefs of today, no matter how high and fine they seemed to be; you die daily, to be born again to a greater and more beautiful sense of the Presence. You are becoming more and more aware of the Presence, and, as you approach it through this awareness, you see it more and more in detail. As, descending from the air in a plane, you at first see only a sell speck, which on closer examination divides and subdivides itself, until it is seen as a great and flourishing city, so will the points of truth, that you have conceived at a far distance of human thought, reveal themselves as great and glorious states of consciousness, and the idea will unfold as you approach this revelation.

After all, beloved, 'Ye have not chosen Me: I have chosen you, and ordained you that you should go forth and bring forth fruits.., and whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name [nature], he will give unto you." A great burst of revelation comes with, 'Ye have not chosen Me.' All these years we have thought that we did something personal when we chose to follow after the Master. We were labouring under self-hypnotism that WE were making a sacrifice, becoming a martyr: or else we were actuated by fear. Suddenly we find that this is all false and that ye did not choose Me, but I have chosen and ordained you.' This very power chose you. Do you hear, you who read this page, this line? Do you hear that you were chosen - that you were caught in the net of which the Master spoke 'I will make you fishers of men?" Caught in the net, and chosen for a glorious expression of the blessings of the Kingdom here and now! And, further, you were "ordained" - not by some person or organization. Not because someone pronounced certain words and sang songs over you were you ordained; but in spite of this, and in spite of even the condemnation that might have been cast upon you. 'I have chosen YOU, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit.' Do you hear? You who read this page? You? Do you begin to see why I have said unto you, "Be still and know that I AM God' - be still, and know, and listen to what I have to say to you?

Dare you sit, in this glorious baptism which is even at this instant going on, and accept the blessing: 'I have chosen you,' and be ready to hear the command, 'Go into all the world - preach the gospel":, Dare you be ready to go into this wretched place in which you lived - your consciousness and say, "Be of good cheer. It is I. Blessings. Blessings. Blessings" ? Dare you say to your personal devil , 'It is wonderful. Blessings. Blessings. Blessings,' knowing that there is only One, and that it is I? When you recognize Me as there, I will transform the darkness into light, and the shadows of human belief shall flee away. It is well. It is wonderful.

"Blessings. Blessings. Blessings - SO MANY YOU CANNOT COUNT THEM." Let that be IMPRESSED upon your consciousness and it will express in your daily life Blessings here and blessings there, Blessings here and blessings there, Blessings here and blessings there, Blessings everywhere -------------' shall form itself into a wondrous melody, and will go singing through your glorious day, like a host of golden butterflies darting to and fro over a field of sunny flowers.
