Once, when I was a man, I was taught to sit at the base of a tree for five minutes a day and to imagine myself to be the creator of all that I could think, all that I could see, all that I could feel. Five minutes taken out of the hours of play of a child. You are a child at play in your own kingdom. Will you give yourself five minutes to learn to be a Christ that creates in unlimited perfection in alignment with the Mind of God, whose experience is always radiantly blissful and free of limitation and fear? You will experience your creation. What that creation is, and how you experience it, is entirely up to you.
Five minutes in which you choose to sit as Christ in the midst of your kingdom, your creation, and you decide which thoughts you will hold and, therefore, determine how you see all that is in the field of your awareness, and which thoughts you will allow to begin to generate the ripples that you will send out that will — there is no way to escape it — that will return to you.
For twenty minutes hang out as though I am Christ Incarnate, totally in union with God, totally free to begin creating different ripples than I’ve ever experienced before, knowing that they will come back to me and become my manifested experience.
So that you learn to sit in your chair, after your five minutes of abiding as Christ, in which you say to yourself:
“Here, I am free. Heaven is now. The past is passed away, and I choose anew. And, this day, I commit myself to teaching only Love by sharing only loving thoughts. This one day, I will look upon each one that comes into my experience and I will first breathe deeply the presence of the Holy Spirit. And I will look out through eyes transformed by the simple acknowledgment of the Truth: All minds are joined, and I see not a stranger before me, but one who walks as I walk, who feels as I feel, who longs as I long, who is humbled as I am humbled, who prays for peace as I have prayed. And therefore, I will give them what they seek. And in that giving, I receive it.” - Way of Mastery, Way of the Heart Lesson 10
Learn, then, to teach only Love. And now, by way of building on what you’ve been doing, we would simply ask you to add this very simple practice. When you sit in your chair for five minutes abiding as Christ, remembering the Truth that has set you free, begin to ask yourself the simple question, “This day, how can I extend my treasure? How can I add to that which I am storing up in the Heaven of my consciousness?”
Abiding as Christ
- take time every day to sit with yourself
- decide how you will experience yourself NOW
- Acknowledging that you are one with God
- Everything you are experiencing now you created out of all possibility through your self-created state of being in all your previous present moments.
- practice choosing how you will experience sitting in a chair. “How will I choose to experience this moment, this precious (and only) experience?”
- 5 minutes sitting and recognizing that I am an infinite creator of exactly what I am experiencing in my emotional field
- what would it feel like to sit in my chair as a Christ?
- sitting in the chair is a symbol of preparing the mind for the dropping of a pebble into it, out of which will reverberate the vibrations and ripples that will come back to you
- a practice of being in the presence of heaven - a state of infinite creative power because it is the reflection of God’s holy mind.
- “I am the creator of all that I experience” - this is the putting of that truth into practice
- Sit as Christ in the midst of your kingdom, your creation.
bring awareness to exactly what is — from a place of innocence and non-judgment - I am the creator of what I experience
Wherever you happen to be stop for just a moment, and truly become aware of where you are. And where are you? Are you not having the experience of seemingly being within a body? Don’t you seem to be abiding in a room somewhere? Aren’t you within an environment in which there are certain weather patterns going on around you? Perhaps there are other sounds coming into your ears. Can you truly be aware of where you are now? Can you feel the weight of the body as you stand upon your feet or sit within your chairs? Do you notice the tension in the neck? Do you notice the racing of the mind if that’s going on? Can you begin to bring awareness to exactly what is — from a place of innocence and non-judgment?
You will discover that “what is”, is what you have chosen to make of it. Be, therefore, where you are now, and deliberately decide — deliberately decide — to accept wholly that what you are experiencing in this very moment has no cause whatsoever, except your choice to experience it. Rest assured, whatever the mind may try to say, if you did not wholly want to be right where you are, you wouldn’t be there. And if you are in a body in the field of space and time, rest assured — you desired it, you chose it, and it’s here.
Begin here. There is no need to judge it, no need to ask it to be different. Just truly be aware of what is. If you are feeling the body sitting in a chair, can you allow the thought to come into the mind,
I have literally created this experience. Something within me is so grand, so powerful, so vast, so beyond anything that scientists have ever come up with, that I have literally crystallized, in the field of experience, awareness of being a body in space and time! It has come forth from the Field of my Consciousness, the gift to me of God, Who asks only that I learn to create as God creates.
So, begin there, by choosing each day, now, to cultivate the practice in this manner. Set the intention so that in each hour of your day, for three to five minutes, you practice bringing this quality of awareness to exactly whatever you are experiencing, when the thought arises to do the practice. You see, where does that thought come from? Suddenly the thought appears, *Oh! Focus on being aware that I am literally the creator of what I experience.
Therefore, those who truly love God, those that would truly awaken, will feel something compelling them to master this simple practice for five minutes of each hour. They will learn to delight and they will look forward to it. And pretty soon those five minutes will stretch into six, and then ten, and fifteen, and fifty, until finally, there is established in their awareness — like a background, if you will — the awareness that everything that arises, they have decreed it, and so it is so. Five minutes every hour is not much to ask. For five minutes every hour, be you, therefore, as you are created to be — a creator, decreeing that which brings forth experience
If you are ready to completely assume responsibility for having been created in the image of God, and that therefore you are an eternal creator. Begin now to utilize some time each day, without letting a day go by, in which you sit with yourself and start by acknowledging that you are One with God. Understand that the very body that seems to have a heart within it, that is beating life for you — this itself is the effect of decisions and choices you have made — that the very chair that you are sitting on is the result of your attracting a web of relationships that’s quite unique into your field of awareness, called the physical universe. And in that moment you are having an experience you’ve never had before: you are sitting in the chair now! And the event is completely neutral. And nothing that you are experiencing in your consciousness exists or is sourced by anything outside yourself. Give yourself five minutes to choose, to practice choosing, how you will experience sitting in a chair, with a mind full of worry, or a mind full of peace? A mind thinking of all the things it could be doing, or a mind marveling at how the weight of a body feels pressed against the seat of a chair? A mind that creates tension in the way the breath flows through the body, or a mind that creates ease and comfort? Five minutes of practice sitting in a chair as an infinite creator of exactly what you are experiencing in your emotional field. Just that. You might even want to play with what it would feel like to sit in a chair as a Christ. What would that feel like? I’ll let you choose whether or not you would like to experience it. Five minutes each day. Do it without fail! Be with yourself, and decide how you will experience yourself now! … Utilize the very process of sitting down in a chair as a symbol of preparing the mind for the dropping of a pebble into it, out of which will reverberate the vibrations, or ripples, that will come back to you. … It begins with five minutes, in which you acknowledge that you can create whatever experience you want, as a feeling that floods through your awareness, as a quality of thought that you allow to keep repeating in the mind. You can sit in a chair as an Awakened Christ, now! *I and my Father are One! It’s a beautiful day! I’ve manifested a physical form sitting in a chair in a corner of one little tiny dimension of Creation. How amazing this moment is! I think I’ll just sit here and feel the heart beating in the body, the breath flowing through it. Ah, there’s the sound of a bird. I’m glad I called that to myself. I like the way that sandwich is digesting in this body. What beautiful thoughts can I think right now? Who can I send Love to without lifting a finger? I am unlimited forever! I am free! I am free! I am free!
Here, I am free. Heaven is now. The past is passed away, and I choose anew. And, this day, I commit myself to teaching only Love by sharing only loving thoughts. This one day, I will look upon each one that comes into my experience and I will first breathe deeply the presence of the Holy Spirit. And I will look out through eyes transformed by the simple acknowledgment of the Truth: All minds are joined, and I see not a stranger before me, but one who walks as I walk, who feels as I feel, who longs as I long, who is humbled as I am humbled, who prays for peace as I have prayed. And therefore, I will give them what they seek. And in that giving, I receive it.
