I Am Many

 

My awakening has brought so much joy to me. Is it perfect? It is, but my ability to sustain acceptance is somewhat limited.

It is a wonderful place to be. There are a lot of details I have not worked out, but I suppose, being human, I am as limited as I have designed myself to be. Imagine drawing a character on a blank piece of paper and then imagine that very character as having its own thoughts. Don’t go deeper than that for a moment.

So, there is this stick-man, suppose. Try to imagine the stick-man, on the piece of paper, as having the very characteristics you meant for him to have. Suppose he has a certain expression, denoting a certain attitude and now suppose you cock your head and imagine him being that sort of fellow. In order for that character to really take on a personality, you will need to take yourself out of the equation as his creator and perhaps you can alter your voice and perhaps you’ll take the paper in your hands and make a puppet out of the stick-man, and you’ll imagine the scenery you haven’t drawn. It is only possible to increase your stick-man’s persona by forgetting your own. If you are childlike, this is not so difficult. In fact, it comes very natural to children because they are not so far removed from their own, original animated-origins. Without knowing it, a child “knows” that they are the result of an artist having created them. They also know The Artist endowed them with His creativity.

If you are like a child, you can imagine the entire world of the stick-man and forget your own; sustaining your stick-man’s world for longer and forgetting your world for longer. This is what most adults have forgotten about being a child. The imagination of a child can bring more life into any imagined state.

With this in mind, consider the following:

“Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” ~ Jesus

What does that special word mean? Converted?

It means a change in:

1.      Form

2.      Character

3.      Function

You can be converted by changing yourself in one or more of these three ways. To be a totally different person than you are right now, you would change all three. And for a child, this is usually more easily achieved.

If a creative child has drawn a stick-man and wants to sustain the stick-man’s world for a period of time, the child will assume the form of the drawn character, and then assume the character and then provide the functions of the character by making a puppet out of the piece of paper and causing it to perform based on the will of this assumed character, limited by the assumed form on the paper; forgetting that it is being held and imagined.

And this brings me to the most outlandish claim ever made by anyone: You are doing this right now.

What is this Kingdom of Heaven? It is just the simple state where you become aware of the process.

Asking a stick-man to remember that he has been drawn, after many years of sustaining the assumed role, is, by far, more difficult than it was for him to be imagined in the first place. Remember: the whole idea was to forget having drawn your stick-man, and to assume his form, character and function while still being his Observer, but forsaking that point of view to enjoy the point of view of the stick-man.

Am I suggesting your being requires a Greater Being? I am.

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” ~ Acts 17:28 KJV

So you may ask, “How could this one individual create billions of stick-men and animate them all?”

The answer is very difficult for me to put into words, but there really doesn’t have to be billions of characters; The One would only need to imagine billions of characters and believe that to be the case from only One point of view: Yours.

“At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” ~ John 14:20 KJV

The spirit of this truth is already in you. If you get it, then you are the only one who gets it.

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14:17 KJV

What does this verse really say?

It says:

The Spirit of Truth cannot be understood by the world, because it is purposefully hidden from the imagined characters for the sake of sustaining the imagined. But You can know of The Creator. Only if You remember that You are The Creator, You’ll see that He is seeing things from your point of view; awareness is when you accept your role as an assumed role, knowing You are also The One making it work.

Am I saying you are better than anyone else because you get this? Not in the least. In fact, the very least shall be the greatest. Read it more carefully and suppose there is only One-You. How then, can I be writing these words, revealing this answer to you? This is only possible if, as you read them, you are aware enough to see that I Am You.

Who do you say that I Am?

This question is not here to prompt you to consider who wrote these words; the question is probably better understood this way:

When you say “I”, who do you mean?

The hidden truth is that there is only One “I”.

“And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am.” Exodus 3:14

As soon as I wake up as “I Am”, then no opposite will ever exist again; until He draws another character.

The One is many.
