The Good News
I use the Bible as a reference, due to my familiarity, but the same pointers can be found in other scriptures, using different words and cultural backgrounds. "God is no respecter of persons."
The Bible can be a tool to open our eyes, to reacquaint us with the nature of reality; as a living Presence and Knowing in our own heart and mind, always here and now.
Nothing is being added from outside. Truth is the same from everlasting to everlasting, but the veil of our personhood is being lifted so that we can see and embrace what we always overlooked.
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
To know God in our thinking mind is just thoughts.
Ideas and concepts are not reality itself.
Ideas are like little statues in our mind: idols.
For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.…
What is the kingdom but a state of dominion, safety and contentment, wherever you are; resting in a knowing that is not tossed by the waves of our surface mind — this world.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
What is with you always?
Your Awareness!
Subtle.
At the core of your being is the sense "Iam, I exist".
There is nothing in "this world" that does not enter to you through the gate of awareness.
What words does the Bible use for Consciousness and Awareness?
