Feed My Sheep
Then you will understand the drama when truth faces what is called fact or reason, and when asked what is the Truth, Truth remains silent. He would not answer because fact or reason thinks that a true judgment must conform to the external reality to which it relates. If I say, “Aren’t these lovely” and I mention something that no one present can see, you say my judgment isn’t true, for if it isn’t on something on the outside, then what I say has no reality. I must be suffering from some illusion; if I persist in it, and you cannot see it, then it is hallucination, but I know from experience that I can take an illusion and through the medium of an illusion I can relate myself to reality or “Is Real” by walking faithful to what you call my illusion. I simply assume a state knowing I have found it; it is scattered in the nations of the world and finding it in myself as a desirable state, I appropriate it. Walking faithful to my appropriated state I gradually become it. Disentangling myself from that state eventually, I cease to be it, for that which requires a state of consciousness to embody itself cannot be embodied without such a state of consciousness.
When I know that the whole thing depends upon my appropriation of the parts of Israel to bring Jacob to my Father, then I will start to do it, and then my talents will run from five to ten and to twenty, and finally when I have all these talents I will be worthy of being a friend. When I have been faithful in a few things, he will make me Lord over much. Then he will tell me I no longer call you servant, I call you friend, for you did what I commanded you. Now, having done what I commanded you, you are my friend indeed. We will walk in that association for a while, communing with the deep, knowing the deep of self is my real being that men call God. I won’t see him as another. I will commune with him as though he were another, and he and I will talk across that invisible state just as though man spoke face to face with a friend, for after this invisible state when I commune with the deep is reached to a point of complete satisfaction, the last seal will be broken. He will break the seal and reveal me as his son, and when I see him and look into his face he will be just like me and I will be like him. Then you will know the mystery of the Epistle of John – “Beloved what manner of love” – just imagine what love God has bestowed upon us that we should be called the Sons of God; and then, although at this moment, this very moment, that I feel it from the deep, I don’t quite know what I am like or what he is like; yet I do know this much, that when I see Him I will know Him. And why will I know Him? Because I’ll be like Him. I will look right into the mirror of my own being and realize it was for that purpose that I the Father embodied myself as man, hoping that eventually he would awaken and become a conscious being, moving completely from a passive reflector to a conscious cooperator in my Kingdom; So, man gradually moves from the passive state to the active state, and the process is the servant, the friend, the Son. And now my time is up!
Now let us go into the silence.
