When we are observing, we are in that place that I call purity -- purity of thought, of emotion, of content. In that moment of feeling good, that moment of observation, the power of God will move inside of you. You're asking, is this some kind of phenomenon? Absolutely! And once you get a taste, you will be hooked. Hooked not only on your high, but also on your low, because that, too, is part of this energy of God.

And when it comes right down to it, there is no such thing as winning or losing. There is only experience.

With practice, you can condense the time needed to move from lower levels of consciousness to spiritual consciousness. When you are able to integrate all of these, you live fully on all levels simultaneously and spontaneously. As you move toward that, you are able to resolve physical-level dilemmas rapidly. You can work that level of knowing present with you.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus the Christ said, "The kingdom of Heaven lies within," He spoke the truth and gave us one of the greatest keys to enlightenment. If you would find the kingdom of Heaven, look within. If you would find the peace of God, look within. These things are not separate from you.

Watch out when you demand something of Spirit. Is it your ego or your ambition talking? Why don't you observe and see what part of you is really doing the demanding? By the time you find out, it will no longer matter. When we observe we rise in time above the desire, and we learn from being above it.

When you come to the spiritual heart, you find yourself in the center of all beingness. At that point, you rise at the apex of time, and all things are delivered unto you.

Even husbands and wives have no right to hurt each other. They don't get married for that purpose. They are married to become a fortress, possibly to rear children and to create a retreat from the world where they can renew their strength. The family environment can be used to gain the strength necessary to go back out into the world and learn to work with energy to break the conditioning of the world. If you come home after a "hellish" day at work and get hell from your wife or husband, that is really hell. Then you don't want to come home at all. It is your responsibility to be loving -- not to let yourself be taken advantage of -- but to be loving in all your relationships.

Have fun with observation. Lighten up. If every time you close your eyes, all you see is blackness, play a game with it. See what it looks like today. Observe what it does. Ask it if it is always black, or can it change color? The process of observing can be fun. People complain, "I close my eyes and I want to see God. I really want to, but He doesn't show up." Come on! You can't even control your own mind. Do you think you can control God? Do not waste your time with such thoughts. Observe. Watch. See what happens.

Q: I have heard you quote from the Bible and wonder why you don't use the Bible more often. J-R: The Bible, however wonderful it is, is not the direct experience of the individual reading the words. In MSIA our focus is on the experience rather than the words...not to say that the Bible isn't important...it is just often misunderstood. Ultimately we all learn by our own experiences.

It is not too soon to consider that one day you will, as will everyone, be giving up everything you possess in this world. Do you realize that you will have the opportunity to delight in dispossessing yourself of the materiality of this world? Would you rather make your passing a futile effort to hang on, not letting go in the slightest way? Or will you already be detached and freely letting go of all that you possess and have acquired?
