    The Great One creates nothing. The Great One is everything. What a Paradox! What a Mystery! What a Wonderful God!

    I was not born.
    I cannot die.

    I will not end.
    I Am.
    I Am Beyond form, quality, and description.
    I Am.
    I Am Consciousness.
    I Am Love-Bliss.
    I Am smaller than the atom.
    I Am larger than the universe.
    I Am.
    I Am.
    I Am.

    Always wondering about whether “God” exists is simply an adult occupation of basically adolescent personalities whose notions of “God” were formed by the childhood situation of dependence.

    There is Only Light. Light Is All There Is. All That Is Is Light. . . Light, or God, Is The Literal or Inherent Condition, Substance, Reality, Quality, and Destiny Of all conditional worlds, forms, and beings.

    You must trust the process of your own life, whether it is to go mad, to become ill, to work, to succeed, or to die. Be free of fear. Surrender to the Person of God, the actual Living God. Trust the Divine altogether. Give yourself up emotionally to God. Do it to the point that the physically based fear of death vanishes on the basis of trust alone. Practice complete devotion and absolute surrender.

    The Truth That is to be Realized may be summarized simply as the Realization that no matter what is arising, no matter how many others are present, there is Only One Being. This is precisely different from the childish proposition that even when you are alone there is always "Someone Else" present.

    All things and beings are a bridge to the Infinite. They are not simply things in themselves, but they are in fact such a bridge. Merely to think, then, in terms of the One Transcendental Being is not necessarily to generate a process wherein the Power of God and the Person of God, or the Being That Is God, is directly contacted through practice of your Way of life. You must Awaken and discover the Divine World wherein everything is a bridge to the Infinite, One Being. That Awakening is what is primary.

    To have no greater sense of Reality than the physical is to be like a trapped rat, trapped on all sides. . . So, obviously, the human being requires a Way. . . you need direct access to the Divine, even as a matter of ordinary sanity.

    Everyone feels the Truth. Everyone receives the Shock of God — everyone. There is no living being, from the mosquito to the human being, who does not receive the Shock of Divine Intervention.

    God is not within us. We are in God.

    Be in God.
    See all in God.

    In this manner, worship and love and Realize only God, by worshipping God in, as, and through everyone and everything. Never be too proud to do this worship. Only this is surrender. Only this expresses true Realization.

    The entire world, visible and invisible, gross and subtle, is the Body of God, and even one's own body inheres in That Body.

    All that we can have in mind inheres in the Mind of God, and the very Being of God is That in which one's own essential being inheres.

    The worlds fall out of my right hand.
    My right hand is the world.

    Let the heart speak the Wisdom of the Unity of body, mind, world, and God:
    There is neither one God nor many Gods.
    There is only God.
    All of the one and many Gods are Idols of the One that is God.

    What is the Truth? We are Happy. We live in God. The Great One is our very Being. We inhere in the Blissful, Forceful Being of the Starry God, the Wonder, the Mystery, the Person of Love. This is our Situation and our Destiny.

    The "Midnight Sun" Is the Hole in the universe. It is not (Itself) black. It Is the Hole in the black. It is Divine Being objectified, the Divine Self-Condition objectified. When there is passage into That Place (or the Divine Self-Condition Itself), there is nothing more to say.

    Even though death rules to here, there is an indivisible eternal Sun over-head. And that eternal Sun is — beyond even all conditional visibility. . . . I Am that eternal Sun — the (Self-"Bright") Midnight Sun, apparently (and infinitely) above all-and-All, and always already free-Standing, beyond (or perfectly prior to) all-and-All.

    If you really examine the characteristics of conditional Nature (or phenomenal existence), there is no justification for believing in the Parental Deity at all. It is simply not true to the facts of existence altogether that there is a Great Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent Being making everything happen. . . It is simply not so.

    The Divine Reality, or God, is not ultimately the Savior of our lives. The Divine is That to which our lives must be a sacrifice. Indeed, it is the intuition of the Divine that permits us to live as a sacrifice rather than a Narcissistic, reactive, and self-possessed struggle for ultimate survival.

    The question "Is there a God?" reflects an immature, self-contracted state in human beings for which they must become responsible. When one's own self-contracted state is transcended, the reality of God is overwhelmingly obvious.

    November 3, 1977

    You are seeing the results of all kinds of individuated activities, all kinds of wills — the "play", the "creative" force of beings, of "gods", not God. Thus, to worship them is to worship your unhappiness and your death. You must understand this, you must penetrate this, you must enjoy insight into this. Then you will See the Divine, Who Transcends "cause" and "effect", Who Is the "Substance", the Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of all-and-All.

    Love is the only God-damned God there is!

    Go beyond. There is no "soul" in the heart. There is only the Divine Person, the Divine Reality. By going beyond yourself, you Realize.
