The Practice of Reality

Lillian DeWaters

Ontology includes not only the true facts of Being but also their practice. Health, harmony, happiness, and the abundance of all good, are answers which can be reached as we, the Self, think and act from our God-state, or standpoint of Perfection, as our All-in-all. By their fruits ye shall know them, is the Christ-edict for all time. Our daily experience of health, harmony, and the abundance of good, determines for us the exact extent of our spiritual Knowledge and exercise thereof: even as our success in mathematics is measured only by our ability to obtain correct answers to its problems.

Presuming that the reader of this work has studied the author’s text book of Ontology called THE GREAT ANSWER, let us now summarize the Trinity of Being thus: I, the Self, am ALL. I include the perfect principles or facts of Being. I include perfect awareness and perfect activity. I include perfect body and perfect universe. Besides me there is none else.

We should understand right now that we are Totality; that nothing exists outside of us: there is nothing, therefore, which can or does oppose us. I am Self-Being-Spirit. I am one Infinitude, one Totality, one All-in-all. From this basis, we can see clearly that nothing is to be considered as originating elsewhere than in us.

Each one is I, since the “I” is infinitely identified. In everyone of us there is the same God-state (Father); the same right and might to think and act from the viewpoint of Perfection as ever present and at hand (Son); the same light and illumination to be revealed (Holy Ghost).

Illumination has revealed that we should not continue to place “God” as synonymous with “Self,” or “I;” but rather understand this word to denote the same meaning as “Father,” or our state of Perfection. God, the Father, is the first “person” of the Trinity. This God-Father represents Perfection, our perfect state of Being, Body and Universe. God is the very Truth; the Principle of Being which is immovable, incorruptible, absolute; that to which nothing can be added nor anything taken away. This God-Perfection is ever included in the “I” or us.

Will the reader please draw a circle on a separate paper, to be used for a definite and practical illustration. In the circle draw two horizontal lines so as to divide it into three equal parts. In the first space you may write the following:

I Am the Self. I Am the Father, God, Perfection. I Am the Absolute, Reality, Truth. I Am Spirit; Being; Life; Love; Mind; Creator; Body; Universe. I Am the One, Totality, All.

The second position of the Trinity is called the Son. This position of our Self is our activity; our consciousness or awareness; our free will. This is where we think, feel, see, hear, taste, smell, live and act. Presumably, we have all discovered that our Mind can think good thoughts or otherwise; we can “make good or create evil”. Here, then, is the place of light and darkness; waking and sleeping; in fact, free will. Therefore in the middle space you may write the following:

I Am the Son. I Am consciousness; awareness; activity; thinking; feeling; hearing; seeing; tasting; smelling; living; loving; creating. I Am free will.

When we think and live from the standpoint of the God-state, that is, when we incorporate the Facts of Reality in our thinking and living, then our experience is one of happiness, harmony and wholeness. When the Father and Son, Perfection and consciousness, become one, this then culminates in the Holy Ghost, or spiritual Illumination, which is the third Position of the Trinity.

In the third space, you may therefore write the following:

It is we who have free will, not God! We, the “I,” ever have the will to remain in the “Father’s house”, (think from the basis of Perfection) or not, as we choose. It is obvious that we are all doing this every day, is it not? When we are not dwelling in the God-state, but turn from it, it may then be said that we represent the “prodigal”; that we “sleep and dream;” that we function as “man.” You see much choice as this could never be part of God: for “Thou (God) art of pure eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity.” (Hab.1:13)

Therefore, properly speaking, the “I” and “God” are not synonymous terms. We are the “I;” and all the while we are free to choose. We find that we think rightly some of the time, but not always. God, however, is always good, always Perfection, always Fulfillment, without beginning or end. Thus, God is our perfect state of Being.

When we function in the God-state, or state of Perfection, then we are in our proper position and in this State we see all things as they really are. This State always abides within us! We include, and are, ALL. We are the Circle; we are the Totality; we are the Triune One. When we admit only Reality, only Perfection, as our All-in-all, when we continuously dwell in the God-state, then our consciousness is the Christ consciousness, and is our Saviour. Thus the Christ is still our Redeemer; and our Deliverer from all darkness and sleep.

Perfect body, perfect universe, are ever prepared, finished, and at hand. However, until we think, act and live from the standpoint of the Truth, the perfect Facts and Principles of Being, we cannot consciously experience them; nor enter into the perfect Answer, which is Heaven. Perfect happiness and satisfaction can never be found in any other way. Thus, a partial acceptance of our perfect God-state, a partial awareness of our perfect body and universe, as ever present, and at hand, delivers to us a degree of harmony, happiness, wholeness and abundance. Ever our consciousness must expand and enlarge, in order that we rise from glory to glory, and so finally come unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, even as did our beloved Jesus.

I Am the Holy Ghost. I Am insight, revelation, I am illumination. I am the experience of my Self. I Am Christ. I am Heaven.

The general idea of the world before us is that it is external to us; thus it has been termed the world “without”. Inasmuch as here appears discords, disasters, wars, and limitations of every kind, in our great and sincere desire to practice seeing only the good and the true, there was instituted the method of turning from this world to a world claimed to be “within”; and here was pictured a perfect and. ever harmonious universe, with no evil whatsoever.

To repeat, desiring not to witness discordant appearances, there began the practice to turn away from the world altogether, and to create another world, free from all discords and limitations. Although such practice may have helped and benefited many, now that a new light has dawned, we are to soar beyond it: for such a mental procedure assumes that the world we see and call “out there” is not the real and true one. Is this not so?

Now, then, when you sleep, and in your dream see a world of people, landscape, animals, and so forth, these are, of course, all within you, still you see them as though they were “out there,” do you not? In like manner, the very people, animals, land, water, et. cetera, which you behold in your waking state, and have called the “without”, are not external at all, for the simple reason that inasmuch as you are conscious of them, they exist in and of you; in fact, nothing that we see is ever external to us for we are the infinite ALL.
