The
Way Made Plain

The Way is the transcendence of the now. And the now is where you are
at. But where are you at? Today, I would like to address your need to
be where you ought not, but find yourself because you know not the way.
What is the way that leads to transcendence of the now? If you can figure
out where the now is and where you are not, then you can begin to understand
where you should be.
The now is transcendence because the now is not tangibly anywhere, but
everywhere. Where you are at is either in the now or the past, and sometimes
in the future. But where you are at in the now is not necessarily where
you need to be.
Being is a state of consciousness that leads to transcendence, but not
necessarily to now. So how may I impart the now to you and the now where
you need to be? I will simply give you this analogy to help you along.
Say you are going to the beach for a swim, but cannot go in because
the water is too cold. And so you envision that the water will warm
up or that you will not be affected by the cold. If you enter the water
and find that neither is true, you recede out of the water and contemplate
the future. Will the future hold a different scenario than what you
just experienced or will you experience what you just did in the past?
So now you have experienced the now, the past and the future all in
the space of a moment. But what if you lived in the now entirely and
left off the past and the future projections of the mind, could you
maintain Being? Or would you find the impossibility of Being because
you cannot maintain the now and experience life?
The possibility of living in the now is only a possibility if you allow
the mind of God to be the space of existence in the now. The Mind of
God knows all future, past and present, all as one. Wherefore you need
go in the past to discover the future, never, in the Mind of God. There
is no such thing. There is only the eternal now.
But you live in time and space, where the ability to access the Mind
of God seems an impossibility for most. Where can you discover the ability
to be in the now, in the Mind of God and on earth in time and space
all at the same time?
The now is really the eternal now that is spoken about in the Eastern
philosophies. The West only understands the now in the sense of being
in the future. In the West people lead their lives in the future, because
everything has to be now, but is not. So they bring technology closer
and closer to the now, hoping they can achieve the now through getting
everything the moment they envision they want it.
"How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of
judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers."
Isa 1:21 |
But is this the correct way
to achieve the eternal now or is the Oriental way of being, slowing
down the very process, the answer to being in the now in the Mind of
God?
I bring you this bit of truth that you may contemplate a new way, a
way that has never been introduced into the modern world, to enter the
eternal now and remain here on earth, eternally anchored to the now
in the Mind of God.
But first, what are the advantages of being in the now?
It might help to contemplate what is the now and what is the alternatives
to being in that now. If you focus on the past, you are looking for
answers to the future. If you live in the future, you are focused on
the mistakes or truths of the past, and in neither case are you in the
now. So in order to focus on the now, you must let go of the future
and the past and experience what it is like to live in the now.
Imagine, as I take you into the future, out of the now, that you are
an astronaut, able to travel in space. You travel far from your home
base and a span of time goes by. You return to your base and discover
that they have far outpaced your time. What was days to yourself, was
months to them. You traveled ahead of time and returned back ahead of
time. But for them, time continued normally. You actually came closer
to the eternal now, and thus for you, time was slowed because you transcended
time in the physical by moving through time in space.
The advantage for you was that you got to experience more of travel
in less time. You seemed to stretch time making your time slow down,
yet experiencing everything just like in regular time on your base.
You had gotten closer to the eternal now. The advantage for you was
that your experiences were the same in less time. Which means you can
experience more and not take as much time.
What advantage is experiencing
more in less time? Well, in the world of form, the main purpose is to
experience all aspects of God and gain the more. And you are only allotted
a certain time by God to do that. When your sojourn is up and God calls
you home, either you have garnered the more, or you return to the heart
of God to be consumed by the fire of Being.
"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;
and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of
hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."
Mal 4:1 |
Advantage to stretching
time into the eternal now
Now, that might not seem much of an advantage but if you realize that
entering the world of form is a gift, not a necessity, you may also
realize that this gift comes with a price. You can get lost in the process,
and not return back to God with more, but be called back with having
lost that gift that was given. The advantage to stretching time into
the eternal now is that you may garner that more now, no matter where
you have been in the past and where you are going in the future.
And so, for those who have lost time, and lost opportunity through that
lost time, to be in the eternal now will give them an opportunity to
regain every lost opportunity and to find more in the now.
"The
LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion:
he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from
destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament;
they languished together." La
2:8 |
There are other advantages.
For those who have not lost time, but have made wise use but have not
quite gotten into the eternal now, they may find that bliss that has
eluded them. With bliss comes peace and happiness, a much sought-after
commodity in the world.
Now, how may any one of us find this eternal now, and not only find
it, but stay in that blissful state and yet obtain more God and more
Being God?
What if you could Be in two places at once and thus accomplish two things
at once, would you see that as an advantage? While in the state of Being
in the eternal now, you will also be in time, but out of time. You will
have one foot in heaven and one foot on earth. Can you imagine the possibilities
of being in two places at one time—heaven and earth
"One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh:
but the earth abideth for ever." Ecc
1:4 |
If you think this is an impossibility,
think again, because many saints of old have described similar experiences
and yet had no way to impart that experience or the way to it. They
did not know how they achieved it, or how to maintain it, as they were
accidentally able to find the state because of their willingness to
let go of all need to control—past, present or future.
So there you have the key to finding this state and maintaining it—a
willingness to surrender control. You cannot enter the now and be in
control. Control is of this world and time and space. The eternal now
only consists of what IS. You cannot control what is—you can only
Be it.
So the way to transcendence is through Being and Being is the way to
now. Without Being, you will not enter the now, but only remain in the
past or in the future, stopping midway occasionally to discover that
now is the time, but then off to figure out the future of how, while
contemplating the past where you were not. Neither the past nor the
future is now, and so contemplating one or the other cannot bring you
to now, but Being can.
So lets return to understanding Being in relationship to now. Being
is a state of consciousness where you accept who you are and allow that
expression through you. At any moment you may be one part of yourself
or another part of yourself, but if you stop the one, you are stopping
the other. In other words, Being is not necessarily the end all or Be
all of what you are. Being is a state of consciousness of accepting
that which you are for the moment. The moment is now. So you see, if
you stay in Being, you are on the way to now. If you do not accept who
you are today, you are not going to Be in the now, but in the past contemplating
all that you were but shouldn't be, or in the future contemplating all
that you hope to Be but feel you are not.
Being more now
But in reality, you are right now in Being, if you only stop projecting
yourself into the past or into the future to discover who you are. Once
you accept Being in the now, you may then accept that which is not conducive
to Being God. All that you are today might not necessarily assist you
in Being more, but at least it will assist you in Being now.
So you get my drift. I am drifting along the outskirts of the duality
consciousness that traps you into believing you have to refigure the
past and project it into the future to Be now. Yet I don't want to trap
you into understanding the now by spending the time in the future or
the past. I want to keep you in the now, yet explain what takes you
out of that now.
So the art of Being is living
in the now. You do not need to plan the tomorrows. You do not need to
understand the past. Although that might go against the grain of society
and the belief that the past is prologue, truly the past will always
be prologue when you are not in the now. The future tomorrows will happen,
regardless of your planning whether they will or not. Your question
might be, how do I plan my life and events if I do not go into the future
to do so, or the past to find out how best it is done?
Ah ha! Therein lies the question of the ages, and the answer is forthcoming.
Where will you get the reasoning to understand the activities of the
future, especially planned activities that take time, when you cannot
be in the future to contemplate them nor in the past to understand the
best course of action?
You simply Be in the now and the answer to the eternal now, wherein
tomorrow never comes, is there. What you have today, is all you need.
The morrow never comes. How true when in the now. There is no yesterday
or tomorrows. Everything is as one. And when you are one in the now,
you are in the eternal now where all past, present and future are one
and take care of themselves. Yet you are able to explore the more without
worry to how or why, but know that leading you is the eternal Being
one with the now. Through Being one, through the surrender to that One,
you find more. The vastness of the universe and the exploration in God
can be achieved through the now, one with the eternal now through Being
I AM.

"And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like
the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice
of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let
down their wings." Eze 1:24 |
For those who are Being I
AM, they only need to realize that tomorrow is not the issue and the
past is prologue only for the individuals trapped in duality consciousness.
You need let go of the idea that you can fix the morrow or repair the
past by knowing the future. None of that is true. When you are in the
eternal now through Being I AM, you will find the answers are there
for every question put forth.

wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, [even] for salvation
with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house
of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah."
Hab 3:13 |
I
AM your El Morya. I write through Lorraine and impart this knowledge
that will set you free to Be all that you are meant to Be and more.
