Buy The Truth & Sell It Not

Jane Woodard

Today I watched a boy skipping stones across the water. Watching him I realized that he is the Child of all of us, the wonderful place that we think of as childhood, where there are no regrets about a past and no worries about a future. This is the place of JUST BEING. I watched his earnest intent to find just the right shape for skipping. I watched his joyous response when the chosen stone skimmed the waves. I watched as he turned time and again in search of yet another stone. I noted his total emersion in this pursuit, unaware that anyone was watching him. He was absolutely centered, focused and having fun, enjoying life! But in that simple picture of a young boy skipping stones, I saw something of much greater value. Not only did I enjoy watching him, sharing his childhood pleasure, but through him I was reminded of the simplicity of Life, joyous, innocent and carefree. This is why Jesus said that we must become like a little child – not childish, not even child-like, but trusting, open, expectant, willing and free in order to come to where we belong: a place called HOME. We must return to The Innocence, The Untainted, Uneducated, and Undefiled by the cares of “this world” – BEING THAT WE ARE. We must go back to that moment of AWARENESS before we thought we were born, and realize WE ARE LIFE ITSELF!

“We” appear on the screen of Life, a Visible Expression of the Invisible ONE we call God. We come into a world of beauty with clarity of mind, purity of heart, that LIFE might have a face. All of us have the childhood experience that GOD might experience it. We do not have to go back to being a child. We’ve done that now. But we can once again return to the MIND that is pure, innocent, and whole – this time knowing about it all. We can, like a child, begin to see a new world before us with new eyes. We can once again experience LIFE at the level of newness. That long lost feeling of fascination with such things as butterflies and fireflies, sunny days and snowflakes. We can begin to realize a world within us, a world which we bring into visibility simply for our good pleasure! Paradise regained in the realization of our True I-dentity. With this realization we see that Paradise was never lost, except in our thinking.

Consider, with me, the simplicity of a child’s life. Recall, if you will, the joy of JUST BEING, in the MOMENT, in the HERE and NOW – LIFE as just an exciting adventure. The thrill of just being alive! Recall that time before you began to take life so seriously, before responsibilities drained the joy of life out of you, before the world’s affairs laid heavy on your mind, and the daily grind ground you to dust. Go again to that innocent beautiful time of being freshly aware. That innocent, lovely ALIVENESS is yours once again to enjoy when you begin to AWAKEN to TRUTH. That wonderful place where you do not worry about anything, where you trusted Life to provide for you, protect you, and love you. Love was all you knew. You were unaware of a world of trouble, loved everyone and believed everyone loved you. Don’t you wish to return to that state of mind, that un-intimidated, uninhibited, unafraid and unlimited ALIVENESS and AWARENESS? Well, my friend, IT awaits your turning from “this world” once again to the TRUTH of your BEING! This time, however, you will understand it all as it is. You will appreciate LIFE in all its glory, but from a different perspective because you have walked through the valley of the shadow of death and are returned to the Secret Place of the MOST HIGH, realizing it all within your SELF.

Once again the world becomes a playground. What I am going to share with you will take you there if you will let it. I have stepped through a doorway, an entrance into a “happy place”. I am experiencing something that I can only attempt to tell you about. If you know me only as “Jane”, you may not at first recognize anything particularly different about me. But if you will hang around close for a while you will see some things about my life that you will want to experience yourself. You will hear some things you have not heard before, if you will allow me to be “real” with you. If you are willing to listen, and really consider what I am saying to you, you too will begin to realize LIFE, and see that IT is something quite different from what you have thought it to be. Things that are otherwise impossible will begin to be possible. Doors will open that you could not open with a crowbar by the little personality person you have thought yourself to be. You will begin to realize the TRUE SELF YOU ARE doing all, as you ride the bow of the ship and watch, and yet know that YOU are indeed the Captain of your Salvation as well. If you are unafraid and can become again like the child, you will slip away with me into a place you have been before but seem to have forgotten exists.

Driven by circumstances to be still and quiet, I began to see something totally remarkable to the one who has lost sight of his original and only TRUE STATE of BEING, the one who has been caught up in “business as usual”, the one walking around calling himself “human”, the one who has been working at trying to make a living, trying to make life work. In the stillness and quietness of my heart I found LIFE, and in finding LIFE I have realized something incredible: that we are all ONE BEING! “WE” are ALL ONE and that ONE is LIFE. “WE” are GOD being, which is LIFE, LOVE, SPIRIT, PERFECTION, REALITY, LIGHT, TRUTH appearing as different expressions; ONE GARDEN, but many varieties of plants, herbs and blossoms, colors, shapes and sizes, all just BEING, each contributing to the beauty of the WHOLE.

Once again I am beginning to view “my world” from a child’s innocent perspective, believing anything is possible, and realizing it is so. I feel like the little one who stands before an aquarium turning his head from side to side observing. He does not judge or criticize what is going on in that watery world, unless he falls into it. He simply enjoys watching it. The difference is that as I unlock the secrets of LIFE I realize I rule over my world calling those things that are not as though they were and they are!

There is a sense of realizing myself as the Observer, rather than, like a fish in a goldfish bowl, the observed. Rather than trying to fit into a world that never could contain ME, I have begun to realize that the world has actually always been within me. “The kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.” You are not “in it”, in REALITY, but it is all within You! As you begin to realize this and many other things that will come to you, you will see how you can rule and reign in a world where every wish is granted, every desire realized. No this is not a fairy tale, any more than any of the promises in the Bible are fairy tales. While You appear to be “in and of” the world for awhile, in order to experience things you would not otherwise, the moment of great expectation finally arrives and you burst through, so to speak, into another place where the visible and invisible are realized as ONE, and all is realized as Spirit, GOD BEING ALL.

So I feel compelled to write, because no matter where you are now, and how you see “life” at this moment, you will at some time, find yourself seeking something higher, farther, and greater than “life” as you have known it. The clichés of the past will not suffice at some point. All the rhetoric will simply fall at your feet as autumn leaves: dead words, void of life. You will find yourself at some point asking the big questions, the ones regarding Truth. The “thorn in your flesh”, whatever that irritant might be, is the very thing that will eventually be the catalyst to propel you out of your complacency and satisfaction with the lie into TRUTH. Your thorny encounters will last only so long as you need them. Just as the tiny grain of sand which somehow gets trapped in the oyster shell causes such irritation to the oyster that he has to begin something NEW: a secretion that creates the pearl. Just so the difficulties in your experience will at sometime cause you to realize the pearl of great price, something beautiful stirring WITHIN as an awareness: YOUR TRUE SELF.

Remember as you read, that all of us write from the place we are at this moment. I write with the understanding I have right NOW, but I realize that my “right now” is ever revealing and thus by the end of this I will have seen more than I see at the beginning. The latter house (understanding) will be greater than the former. The next writing I write will have expanded even more because the increase of our understanding has no end. I share only what is LIFE to me, what I have seen thus far, and am walking through. All is always only in the NOW, so though it seems as though time is what has “taught” me, in Reality, TRUTH is simply bringing to my remembrance that which for a moment I seem to have forgotten.

Please understand, this is not written to tell you TRUTH. No one can tell you TRUTH. You have to find that out for yourself, because TRUTH is not something you “know”, but WHAT you BE. What you will find here is a door standing open to you. You may step through if you wish. If you read this only once you may be mildly entertained or perhaps even find confirmation of what you are already realizing. You may be lifted into a higher understanding or you may awaken to something you have not even dreamed was there as you read. If you will read it more than once, every time you read it you will find between and behind the lines things you will not see at first read. But know this, what you are seeking you will find. And when you find IT, you will realize IT was here all the time. When you see IT – YOU ARE IT! IT is the reason you have never quite been completely satisfied. IT is that mild undertone that causes one to wake up one morning with everything going well to say, “I feel depressed and with no good reason”. Or when everything is at its absolute best there still seems to be something missing. Or when everything is the pits, you wonder why and what it’s all about. If all were always bliss, completely perfect in your dream-world you would never wish to awaken.

The IT spoken of is the heaven you don’t want to die to get to, but you sure want to enjoy HERE and NOW! IT is the absolute peace that nothing otherwise earth shaking can affect. IT is the answer to every question, and yet it has virtually nothing to do with education or religion. In fact, TRUTH, has nothing to do with how much one knows. Isn’t that a relief?! IT is the sudden stillness and silence you experience when you come out of the world! The calm after the storm. IT is the “Oh this is IT” that you have wondered about for what seems like ages. IT is what Jesus Christ really meant when he spoke about being born again, nothing like what the world believes.

So long as we think we are “in” the world, as well as “of” it, everything is thought to be made up of parts and pieces, segregated and separated. We think “we” instead of “I”. We think many instead of ONE. We think we are separate identities, separated beings from each other and certainly separate beings from God. We think in terms of separate people living separate lives, in separate bodies, with separate names, having separate problems, separate families, separate nationalities, separate minds, etc. We are not viewing “life” from the perspective of the Observer at that point, rather we think we are “the observed”: observed by others and even religiously speaking, observed by a God who is watching over us.

TRUTH is so SIMPLE that even a child KNOWS it until he is educated to forget it. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. The “this world” he was speaking of is actually a belief system. It becomes more and more complicated the more educated we become, and the more we believe to be true. Each road of endeavor has its own intricate and complicated avenues of thought. That is another reason we must become as a little child to enter the kingdom, because a little child is not chock-a- block full of information, reasoning why it cannot be, but rather a little child is able to accept what is told to him when TRUTH SPEAKS.

“My kingdom”, or “the kingdom of God” is not something religious. The “kingdom of God”, the “kingdom of heaven”, are both the same thing: REALITY – HERE NOW. Jesus was not religious! He was not being religious when he told us about this wonderful kingdom, neither was he telling us fairy tales. He was telling us about “HOME”, that MIND, or state of BEING from which ALL things flow. He was telling us about WHERE we come from –actually always are, as well as WHO and WHAT we are. He was inviting us back again into our right MIND. He was saying, “What I AM you are”. He was saying “You have been fooled by what appears to be a body you think you live in, but I tell you to take no thought about a body, what you will eat or drink or what you will put on. No one can take your life from you. Your life is not your body, nor in your body. The works I do you will do also, and even greater works than I do you will do. Just as no one can take my life from me, I can lay my body down and take it up again, you can lay your body down and take it up again as well, because all is within you, within the MIND that you ARE. Your body is an idea in what you call GOD, which can also equally be called MIND. ALL that you see are ideas in MIND, thus all and everything is SPIRIT, the SUBSTANCE that GOD IS. GOD is LIFE, and LIFE IS ALL in ALL.”

Just as the droplet of water on your kitchen counter and the ocean are one and the same substance, so you and God are one and the same Substance. Just as the droplet of water from the ocean is drawn up forming clouds which move over the mountain and drop in the form of rain which comes down in torrents, forming creeks and rivers, eventually filling the reservoir that supplies your local water tower, and eventually makes its way into your kitchen, that same drop of water will change form once again evaporating from your counter to form new clouds and end up again as ocean from which it came. So God (Life) comes into visible Expression AS you. God (Life) comes in the “form” of you, and then fades from view again, once the reason for this particular form is no longer needed. If you awaken to the TRUTH of your ONENESS with the Source, you will realize that though you will never be without form, you need not worry what form you will take. You have always been aware, as your TRUE Self, and you will always be aware. There is ONLY One Source, One Substance, filling all, in all, as all, forming and re-forming in whatever way I find applicable and desirable.

Consider these things, and then read on.

What you are reading is not to be confused with religion. The scripture verses used here are not even given religiously. GOD is not religious, but TRUTH presented Itself to me through scripture so I use the scriptural references here to help those who are familiar with the Bible, but know this, TRUTH is not bound up for the religious only. TRUTH is not religious. Religion is one of the systems of belief of “this world”. The TRUTH is the TRUTH is the TRUTH. No matter how Truth presents Itself, IT is the same Voice speaking. And if it is not TRUTH – it is NOTHING but an illusion! TRUTH is likewise not bound by the King James way of speaking. What we are talking about is REALITY! The kingdom spoken of is not a religious place to be, nor a place to go to or come from. For the kingdom to be a place one could go to or come from it would have to be a separate place from where you are right now. When you realize that GOD IS ALL, LIFE IS ALL, SPIRIT IS ALL, you know that ALL is in Spirit, Spirit is in ALL, and the kingdom is the only REALITY there is. SPIRIT (GOD) being all, the KINGDOM or PLACE WHERE GOD IS IS everywhere all the time! There is no where God, Life, Spirit, is not. LIFE is OMNIPRESENT.

This writing is an expression of that which is going on in “my world”, but what is true for me is equally true for you. What I am aware of I am sharing with you so that you may come to realize you are home in the HERE AND NOW, and have never left. No longer bound to “this world”, you can find a world beyond what you have thought, a place of rest and contentment, joy and abundance, a place called heaven, HERE, NOW. I am experiencing heaven and earth all the same in one; watching, observing, seemingly involved, while watching it all passing from within out and away, and it is truly an amazing wonderful happening, without beginning, without end. I share it with you because it is for whosoever will, and is “the kingdom of God”, the place where “I” dwell, have always been, non-stop and will always be non-stop. It is the AWARENESS of My Being, and is the BEING of ALL. It is here to be realized at any moment you are able to take hold of the truth, and willing to stop buying “the lie”.

“This world” is the way you have thought it to be, thinking “matter” is real and spirit is flimsy, filmy or ghostly. There is a world of difference between “this world” and “your world”. You world is that which is the visible, and though real to you in this moment, it is passing away even as it appears. Though your world, or that which you see, hear, touch, taste and smell is real to you at the moment, when the Light of YOUR Life begins to shine, the senses are restored and what you have considered the “real and true” you will find to have been only in part. And you realize it is GOD, THE MIND of ALL, the “I”, that is bringing it all out simply for the pleasure of it. And, it is all very good! THIS MIND IS THE ONLY MIND THERE IS. Thus God, or Mind conceives all things, for all things are of God, and that entire MIND conceives MIND sees as I seeing. Truly, all that I see is real, but it is not the eye seeing, rather the “I”, the INTELLIGENCE I AM conceiving, perceiving ALL.

The belief that we are human beings living in human bodies, seeing through human eyes is the “lie” we have bought into! All opposites are an illusion, a dream-state of mind. To believe that there is good and evil, birth and death, rich and poor, young and old, up and down, light and dark, lack and plenty is “thinking”, is “taking thought”, and is “living” under a mind-set called “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. In the book of Genesis we are warned not to partake of that tree – mind. THERE IS ONLY ONE MIND – or only ONE TREE – THE TREE OF LIFE. This ONE MIND, being the ONLY MIND is your mind. But it is your mind WHOLE, no longer confused, afraid, and limited. It is your MIND set free. It is YOUR mind, but it is not the mind of the personality you have thought you were, subject to the opposition of “this world”. Choose ye this moment which tree, you would live under: the lie (a world of opposites – opposition), or the TRUTH – where GOD is ALL IN ALL. GOD is GOOD, therefore all is GOOD.

I have read elaborate explanations for the opposites, excusing and even supporting their reality as being a part of the great plan of God. How can you support an illusion? You cannot. You merely banish the thought! GOD has no plan. GOD IS GOD JUST BEING. The opposites are a mere moment of confusion, a moment when love can experience hate, life can experience death, but it is of no eternal consequence, anymore than last night’s dream effects you today. Though it may have seemed to have lasted 20-30, maybe even 90 years, it was merely a moment in time that what appeared to be “good and evil”, “birth and death” took place. If my mind wanders away from the TRUTH even for a moment, I become the prodigal child, the mind wandering in the wilderness of sin (duality – which is thinking there is more than ONE of anything). I can wander there at any moment that I forget WHAT I AM, and take an alternate route which will find me trying to climb up some other way as a thief and a robber, trying to enter into a place where I ALREADY AM, and never leave, except in my imagination.

At once, when we accept the belief which is “this world”, our senses are stepped down to the finite and we lose sight of REALITY, becoming confused by images, believing the pictures of light to be the real, rather than the showing forth of the idea which is the real in MIND.

Any mental explanation for “this world” can only be given by the one still suffering under the illusion of death, that we have been calling “life”. You will never make the illusionary world better, nor is there any more reason to do that than to try to “fix” last night’s dream.

MIND, GOD, LIFE is I, the I of all, the EYE of all, bringing forth whatever IT conceives into visible expression. The CONCEPTION is the INVISIBLE, the PERCEPTION is the same made VISIBLE. Both are GOD. Both the visible and the invisible are MIND, but the visible is passing away even as it comes into visible form.

Everything that MIND conceives exists, and what exists is real to MIND. All that you see, hear, touch, taste, smell and feel is real to you in this moment, but these tangibles are SPIRIT showing up on the screen of LIFE, LIFE VISIBLE to be enjoyed. What is tangible and visible IS your world, but if you “think” that you “feel” pain, or you “see” sickness, starvation, misery in the world, or you “hear” about wars and rumors or wars and believe those things to be so, or you “smell” danger, or “taste” defeat, you are buying into the belief which is what Jesus referred to as “this world”. In “this world” the poor and needy will always be. In REALITY, there are no poor and needy, but this takes a return to FATHER’S HOUSE: Your conscious awareness of THAT WHICH IS and has always been, even while we dozed off into the land of nod.

God is GOOD. GOOD IS GOD AND GOD IS ALL. The things of “this world” work to bring me out of the dream world, if I happen to have a momentary lapse, and wander away from TRUTH. If I dream long enough it can even become a nightmare which causes me to awaken from the illusion that I seem to have been having. Words are insufficient, and we use many of these words, such as “dream” to typify what has been going on in our thinking. And that is the only place it is going on.

I recently read a book which appeared to have been written from a place of great understanding. The author was certainly on his way, but he was obviously still living in the step or place in his dream just before the WHOLE PICTURE would have become apparent to him. There is no condemnation to any one for where they are, because you only know what you know. What you consider reality changes when TRUTH comes. All is coming out of the LIGHT, AS THE LIGHT IS ALL THERE IS. It is only when I close my eyes (the eyes of my understanding) and begin to “think” I see with “natural eyes”, that I get lost in the dark, and begin wandering around in confusion. When the eyes of my understanding are ENLIGHTENED I come once again to my senses, and find those senses to be beyond what a natural eye can see, and a natural ear can hear.

All that you see is GOD, LIFE, being made visible. It is absolutely real, but it is passing away even as it comes into visibility. In the dream we have called the visible world “physical”, “material”, “human”, but ALL is SPIRIT and ALL IS GOD BEING. All the visible forms are simply ideas in the ONE and ONLY GREAT MIND we call GOD.
