CHAPTER 12 After the Talk
It is now time for the walk – walking your talk. We are energy expressing itself. Now we must live who we are.
You can now not put the genie back in the bottle to hide our beingness.
From Paraclesus by Robert Browning
TRUTH is within ourselves; it takes no rise
There is an inmost centre in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness; and around,
Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in,
This perfect, clear perception—which is truth.
A baffling and perverting carnal mesh
Binds it, and makes all error: and, to KNOW,
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence the imprisoned splendour may escape,
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without.
“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do.”
“We actually create our entire worlds by having faith and then living our faith.”
“The sky is not the limit The consciousness of our ability to do is.”
Once you have experienced the realization of your own divinity, prayer becomes a conversation between your personal sense of self and your spiritual reality. Thus prayer becomes something entirely different than traditionally understood. Prayer is no longer an appeal to something outside of yourself.
GUIDELINES FOR UNITY’s FIVE STEP PRAYER PROCESS:
1. I OPEN – Invitation for myself and others
2. God Is – Acknowledgement of One Presence and One Power
3. I AM – Acknowledgement of my Divinity – Alignment
4. REALIZATION – Know and Affirm
5. APPRECIATE – Grateful for the shift, for the process
DON’T LOSE THE MAGIC
We can intellectualize, analyze and dissect the mystery right out of our lives.
Mystics and called Mystics because they invoke the mystery. They become The Way – The Truth and The Life.
THE “CIRCLE” OF CHRIST is transforming the world.
“Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the World always works in circles, and everything tires to be round…..the ksy is round and I have heard the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind in its greatest power whirls, birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. Black Elk Holy Many of the Oglala Sioux
