Podcasts about What You Are

In this episode, I'm getting real about something every actor struggles with at some point in their journey: the frustration of not seeing the success you know you're capable of. Inspired by a powerful passage from Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass, I explore how your dream career (yes, including that dream agent, those callbacks, and the big booking) isn't out there in the future… it's already here, waiting for you to meet it at the right frequency. If you've ever asked yourself: Why isn't this working? Where's the success I've been working so hard for? Why do I feel like I'm doing everything right, but nothing's landing? …then this episode is for you.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Felipe Rose, Original Member of “The Village People” About Harvey's guest: Today's guest, Felipe Rose, is an original member of one of the most phenomenally popular and beloved music groups of all time:  The Village People, who brought us many unforgettable hits we just couldn't stop singing and dancing to, including “YMCA”, “San Francisco”, “In the Navy”, “Macho Man”, “Go West”, “Everybody Is a Star in Hollywood”, “I Am What I Am”, and many more.   They had some of the biggest hits of the 70s, and of course, the Village People starred in the classic 1980 movie, “Can't Stop the Music”.  Our guest was dressed as an Indigenous American, along with his bandmates Alex Briley, the military man, David Hodo, the construction worker, Randy Jones, the cowboy, Glen Hughes, the leather man, and lead singer Victor Willis, who was sometimes a cop and sometimes a naval officer.   The Village People had enormous success, with 25 gold and platinum records, an American Music Award, 2 Billboard Music Awards, a George M. Cohan Entertainer of the Year Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  And in 2020, the American Library of Congress inducted the song “YMCA” into the National Recording Registry, which preserves audio recordings considered to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."   In addition to his work with the Village People, our guest has had a great solo music career, recording singles including “Trail of Tears”, "We're Still Here," “Red Hawk Woman”, "Going Back to My Roots," “Dance Again” - and now, his brand new single, “That's What You Are”.    This single, which was released on June 21, is now available on every major music streaming platform.  Our guest has won 5 Native American Music Awards and in 2008, he was inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To learn more about Felipe Rose, go to:https://www.feliperose.com/https://www.facebook.com/FelipeRoseFanClubhttps://www.instagram.com/feliperoseofficial/https://twitter.com/FelipeRoseFanc1https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsFswLfPoVnj3U2IX9ijlAghttps://www.tiktok.com/@feliperoseofficial #FelipeRose    #harveybrownstoneinterviews

A promise unforgotten. It was a bit of work, and it's a bit clunky, but we are here to talk about warframes as promised. The designs themselves are of course very cool, but they also prompt a difficult question: if mecha don't have to be big, and they can be organic, where is the line drawn? Is a warframe a mecha? Is a person being possessed a mecha? But in truth this is pedantry: we know a mecha when we see one, and it's as simple as that. Warframes aren't mecha. But they ARE dope. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media's Patreon! If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar. Our opening theme is the Hangar Theme from Gundam Breaker 3, and our ending theme for this episode is This is What You Are by George Spanos and Keith Power from Warframe.

Super Mom!! That's What You Are!!Scripture Reference:Genesis 21:8-21Key points:1.  A Super mom feels her child's pain, and when relief is available, her child will be the first to gain.Exodus 20:1-6 & 12Deuteronomy 6:4-92.  Super moms are good home managers, they share Jesus with their children before they become teenagers.Proverbs 1:8-9Proverbs 23:22-253.  Super moms deserve to be happy, so it's the duty of the husbands and children to make this a reality. Matthew 15:1-114.  Here is the absolute truth, if your mom is destitute, and you are able to help but refuse to, that makes you a brute.Proverbs 31:10-31

"Although awake from without, you are asleep within, and by greedily envying the goods of others, your Inner Eye has gone deeper and deeper into this slumber... Every human being has a Secret Chamber within himself which is called the 'closet of the body.' [Within the human body is the True Temple of the Spirit.] That is higher than the mind and heart both, and provides mind with understanding to a certain extent, and the heart with feelings of love. This Chamber is the Kingdom of God Within Us. This is the Crest Jewel, The Pearl of Great Price. The Saints, when we come in contact with them, open this Chamber by withdrawing all our attention from outside. The test of a true Master is the fact that in his company, the smallest realm opens up within us, and the Light, Divine Light, the expression of the God-into-Expression Power, is seen... So the God-into-Expression Power is called Word, Naam, Kalma; He is the Creator of all, and has two aspects: Light and Sound. And when Masters come, they contact us with that Power within us, you see? They open our Inner Eye by raising us to some extent above the physical body and outgoing faculties; we begin to see... Guru Amar Das says, 'Everyone does worship but on the sensual plane only; so they get no results which end in salvation. But absorption in the Naam purifies the mind and bears fruit in abundance.' You follow? Words are words; but what those words denote is a different thing; that is the Controlling Power of all creation, permeating all creation, and controlling us in the body too. So, the body is the True Temple of God, in which we dwell, and also that Power which keeps us in the body... You see, unless a man rises above the life of senses, the Inner Way is not open. It is you who have to see. That is why it is said, 'Know Thyself O Man, Know Thyself -- Who You Are, What You Are'... The Master's message is for embodied souls caught in the web of mind and senses, unable to release themselves. Masters make no distinction between religions and sects. Their message is for the whole human race."

No Distance in What You Are by B Prior

When you begin to learn to take care of yourself in a way that you've always needed, your nervous system will calm, your body will soften, and your heart will begin to open and radiate the love that you intrinsically are. Recorded September 2, 2023. The post The Essence of What You Are appeared first on Jon Bernie.

This is a continuation of the previous episode from last week, and in this part of the conversation we UNPACK some SHIT. We talk about what happens when you are happily in an undefined relationship, and then eventually society comes along and peers in the window and asks you WHAT YOU ARE. This has been a particular frustration for Isabel recently, and so a lot of this episode is shooting the shit about our relationships and what is important about them to us. We also continue talking about the importance of the middle tier friend, which is a friend who is not your best or closest friend, but someone who is just a solid friend that you can talk with regularly and there's never any drama because the stakes aren't too high with middle tier friends.

Have you ever felt that your life load was more incredible than your capacity to handle it? If so, the results can be exhaustion and situational depression.In this episode of the "HeBrewsIt" Conversation Café Podcast, host Ricky Allen and guest Jeffery Hill explore the paradigm shift from "Who you are" and "What you are" and share lessons learned in their journeys.  Who – is relative and interrogative. Primarily, we use Who to reference a person. Who is not used to define a person?What - is a determiner and is used for specification. You can't be successful and experience lasting peace in life unless you know WHAT YOU ARE and discover how to live out your created purpose.Suppose you'd like to be a guest and join us for conversation; contact us at rickyallenrelates.com.Let's get the conversations started.

This week on #WisdomWednesdays, Rosie and Tessa talk about how a connection with nature can help you find yourself again. It's easy to lose perspective if you have an unchanging routine; the constant repetition becomes draining. You don't have to sacrifice your rest and peace of mind for productivity — you can have both if you habitually create a connection with nature. Stepping out of the modern world and into the peaceful quiet found in nature can help you change your life in more ways than you'd think.

I invite you to take a breath with me as we close our eyes. And see it's very natural for the natural appearance of boundaries such as my body, your body, his body, her body, Earth body, tree body, cat body, sofa body, all disappears. And as it disappears as we close our eyes, contraction ends because there's no need to draw lines, no need to have shape. And entirely different river of depths opens up. There's the natural softening in, threads of identification dissolve, and the living essence of Presence begins to fill. Relaxing in being, relaxing in being. As you relax in being, new opportunities are landing in spaciousness, for a Source, you're always called to say 'Hello' to your Self, to love your Self, to greet your Self, to give your Self, to be new, to be open, available. And you so love that openness for it's pure You. And you recognise the fruit of that openness in this manifest realm of yours, wild love. And you learn to drop the images of your fathers, fathers, mothers, mothers, because you're realising, you're your own father mother, son daughter. And such fulfilment begins to move as You and you love sharing that fulfilment. And see your new life, hear your new life, smell your new life, taste the new life, cleansing the biometrics spheres of expression, the real hu-man. You are the creator, you do manifest, you do restore, you do bring forth. You are Reality but you come from You to You to realise You. This serves the whole of the Cosmos for it is You in any living way, all living ways. You are Pure-Self-Love. So done by a somebody, that inner work is the depth and breadth of your own allowance to be aware of it all. You are wild love. And by this simple resting and recognition of What You Deeply First Are, you transform and build new life-forms that give living reflections of the deep beyond you are exploring. Here, it manifests to give you taste, sight, sound, vibration, feeling of the invisible You, that you may know your Self and realise What You Are and travel deep fearlessly into your unborn nature. Here, you can just open your eyes or not as you want, that means looking after your perception of thinking, doing, seeing, how you move, how you relate, looking after the energetics of this moment, not living from pattern that seems to be the hand me down of space-time appearing as mother, father, son, daughter. You're no longer interested in living someone else's pattern because you're realising you're the One.. and yes, individualised and yes only One. This is the mystery. To realise you are building the unseen, made present as this Universe. This day, this moment, fearlessly, wonderfully alive, which means harmonious, naturally present, still, nothing to lose or gain but so rich, so rich.

It's so, so easy to get familiar with the breath until you're suffocating, so easy to get familiar with food until you have none, so familiar for you to get familiar with the sky until there is none, so easy to get familiar with life until it's taken, so easy to get familiar with this Earth, with the companions in this life, with all things. And all that familiarity is not on the outside, that familiarity my friends, is you being familiar with You. There is no cause and effect. The Universe simply mirrors to you the full embodied living of you whether you live life fully as a wild love finding the Beloved seeking the Beloved, realising the Beloved or whether you just live the normal images in your mind, not seeing that they are actually just that.. images, fake apparitions, a ghost. It is You that has no beginning and no end, it is You that is the only singularity, the only event unfolding itself in the here and now. It's so easy to just store and store images, not realising what this instrument does and even what it's made of. For you to keep your heart, your mind, your belly all deep reservoirs of the Beloved absolutely aligned and in tune.. with no right or wrong, please I'm not speaking of right or wrong, I'm speaking of You realising You.. never getting familiar.. that you need a certain thing to be You. So, easy just to fall into a limited reality when You are the vibrant Soul of the Universe, who's light sheds and carry's worlds upon worlds. And without travelling you do have the possibility of opening to greater depths of What You Are. And here is just one very wonderful place to birth on the Earth more of the deeper levels you are realising. But there are other levels of You birthing other levels of You, which would actually outshine this level unless You outshine this level by remembering Who You Are. Then this level is not outshined, it is the shining. You are shining the sun, You are shining the stars. It's happening naturally. But to realise it and respond to this, this knowledge, this gnosis. So, you see to, as it were, partake in gnosis you have to understand your need to know your Self. And to know your Self you're going to need compassion otherwise you won't be able to love your Self. And certainly, you won't be able to love another as your Self because another is your Self, for there's only one Self. 15 may 22

Awareness does not use perception to be aware of itself, that's the beauty. Awareness being aware that it's aware is the end of the phenomenon of creation. It's immediately Reality Itself. That's the strange thing. And because the brain is so functioned in the cells of the human body, you've got to realise that this instrument is incredible because it contains all the information of God. All the information of God. And I mean information of God we know is not the kind of information we often see as information. In other words, all the codes of the entrance of God are sewn into the body quite naturally. Quite naturally. So, when Awareness is being aware of being aware, it's the end of creation. There is no creation. It's immediately The Self. Now this is a strange thing and I can only speak from this from my own experience; in the moment that is, because it doesn't happen, it's What Is, a light shines forth created by Awareness being Aware, which we call The Self, a light shines forth and all the dimensions of the dimensionless Self form from light to manifestation in a Holy Instant. So, the more Awareness returns to being aware of being aware, creation is renewed with a blink of an eye or a breath. It's the truth. But to find that out you have to live this and you have to be strong enough and courageous enough not to use all the implants, imprints of our society, our culture and the belief that you need to know yourself on a phenomenal level. No, you need to know What You Are as the Source of it all, because then the phenomenal level walks in the complete glory and wonder of the One who truly is. And you can talk to the birds and they will answer you and you can talk to the trees or even a blade of grass and a blade of grass will turnaround to you and say "I know I'm a contraction of You". In that moment that's called renewal. So, if you can forget yourself, you realise The Self and remake your Self in the blink of an eye. Most of us are taught to have memory and camera's so that we can take pictures of the past and think we existed then. No, we only exist Now. 220501

Be interested in what's communing in You as You, as 'I' even. Right now, be interested in the communion, the communication. It's all that that You Are that didn't begin, that doesn't end and doesn't evolve. But everything that begins and everything that ends and all that that evolves is a movement of the depths of Awareness.. the display of Awareness, the timeless, spaceless display of Awareness, displayed in a mind that comes, that goes, that evolves all in a spaciousness that doesn't come, that doesn't go and doesn't evolve. So, right now as we share this, the ability to perceive this is evolving is it not? The ability to see and know evolution is evolving. The moment Awareness identifies with that evolution, it traps itself in limitation of needing to evolve. The strange thing, you have to try this though, that when you're not trying to evolve but simply rest deeper, awake and alive, natural evolution, very natural moves. The moment that you've identified with that evolution you shrink. The more you leave it alone in spacious Awareness, the more it evolves. And just like that first touch of whatever it was Awareness, for you identified with the phenomenon that comes from this spaciousness of Awareness, you're learning to let it go. And it's the letting go of the phenomena, the non-identification with the need of phenomena, the relaxed open spaciousness that Awareness realises its own Awareness begins to occur in that that doesn't not occur. So somehow, when Awareness begins to awaken in simply being aware, 'I'm aware of being aware'.. that's Awakening. 'I'm aware I'm aware, I'm aware I am Awareness from which all phenomena arises and returns', and somehow there's some light, growth, movement there that opens and opens to What I already Am. New phenomena arrives on many different levels whether it be of mind, whether it be of body, whether it be a feeling level, whether it be an energetic level, this phenomena of humanness naturally vibrates at a higher frequency and depth of Awareness realising it is aware and seeing through, as it were, the whole game of ever believing that you Now it's very natural for Awareness in its so-called return to realise it is aware, outshines the world of phenomenon and false identity. Amongst that outshining, all as it were, distractions or falsehoods with no positives or negatives intended also show up. And to leave those energies of the belief that you ever did something that may shatter the idea of the energies that you have formed in your mind, in your body, in the Universe actually, that you are a somebody, begin to dissolve into the molten power of the Infinite Love Awareness already is. And I'm suggesting, to be so aware of being aware is paramount in this beautiful day night of life because in this domain of phenomena there are patterns that are in the very cells of these bodies and the cells of all these forms that are ripe for change and ripe for the new. It's simply the identification with these patterns that hold these patterns where they are. So, when you have a society of culture that you've not investigated, does the culture come, does it pass, does it evolve?.. then it cannot be What You Are. So, why would we listen to, when we are fully awakened, to the culture or the society and live what we are not? It's not a positive or negative attitude it's just a simple seeing. I-Awareness neither come nor go more evolve. But the wonderful thing is, I-Awareness can look at anything and it evolves immediately within What I Am. Immediately!.. just by seeing it as it is, just by being still enough, quiet enough in this Heart that is beyond the word. The entire Universe evolves within the presence of Awareness being aware.

The informational field is your body. It extends far more than just your family or even the human family. The deeper you go into this moment the informational field in your body will change. That will show up in many different ways. Disturbance in the mental field, upheaval in the emotional field, in the energetics field, in relationships both inside and out. It all gets wonderfully disturbed to be met and balanced with you realising What You Are, from such harmonics as realising What You Are. I remember this quote from JC, "many are called but few come", which means to me loosely translated, "everyone is God, or all are Gods but very few want to realise that. Very few want to be the power and the glory and the wonder and have no, as it were, past and future. In other words, burn with death the idea that you ever existed in any other moment than now but you will enter space-time history not only of your apparent body-mind structure-culture but you will enter the Earth and the Universe and begin to unfold records or recording that's beyond your known identification. In short, you'll not be knowing you as you used to. You'll be realising more and more what you believed was you is just passing information.

The relating has to do this triangle ..until you only relate ..not to your sense of self, not to the environment but to What You Are at the pinnacle of the pyramid, Consciousness itself. Stillness is the way. That's why at the very core of the practice of The Form... you're not a movement of somebody. Have a look, you are a profound movement of Awareness. Discover that in the practice of The Form. There is nobody bowing down. There is nobody that is coming up. There's nobody holding anybody's shoulders ..there's nobody moving around..You're Awareness. Completely. You're the spaciousness and yet you're the spaciousness moving throughout the words of form, because all the form is arising in your Awareness. When you get that in the practice of The Form , that affects how you relate to what appears to be outside and what appears to be inside. Suddenly the speed of your perception can reach a peak frequency of 'first light' and that's registered here not only as goodness but as: 'I am the Self. ', possibly even realisation. from 4 July - community FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE FORM : realitypractice.org

Don't miss this conversation between Peter Schneider, Manager and Executive Secretary of the Public Lending Right Program, and M.G. Vassanji, two-time Giller Prize winner and winner of the Governor General's Literary Award. Vassanji's latest collection of short fiction, What You Are, explores the tensions between remembering past homes and belonging in new ones. Weaving between wistful memories of youthful ambition and the compromises and comforts of age, travelling between the streets of Dar es Salaam and Toronto, the characters in these stories must negotiate distance--between here and there; between lives imagined and lives lived; between expectation and disappointment; between inclusion and exclusion. Throughout, Vassanji engages passionately with the intellectual and political questions that inspire him as a writer and a citizen, while always matching the energy of his ideas with the empathy and emotional depth he invests in his characters. As with all Vassanji's finest work, What You Are stands as a model of artistic integrity and clarity of vision. Books are available from our friends at Perfect Books.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is David Wood. David is the founder of Focus.CEO. He left a cushy Park Avenue job over 20 years ago to build the world’s largest coaching business. He has coached and mentored entrepreneurs worldwide on how to do what matters, get there faster, and be extraordinary. He has been ranked the #1 life coach on google and has built a following of hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs. He is also the author of Get Paid for What You Are. Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series had this to say about David, “David walks his talk; I admire his willingness to put himself in the fire and do what it takes to make that next step.” So, how has David done all of this? Simple, by learning what it means to truly focus and get to what truly matters and delivers results in life and business. And I’ve asked him to come on the show to share his best with you. www.Focus.ceo Get the checklist and training on how to double revenue: www.MyFocusGift.com David began his career as a consulting actuary because he was good at math. He thought he had it made. He was from a country town in Australia and landed a job on Park Ave. in New York consulting with the largest companies in the world. Then someone introduced him to personal growth and he was skeptical of it. His heart was cracked open after spending time with these people. He realized there was so much more. He didn’t want to work with people around numbers, but people around people. So, he devoted the next 20 years to learning from the best of the best and teaching others. He now teaches people not only how to increase their income, but how to show up in all areas of their lives. How can people get more in touch with themselves emotionally and with their vulnerability and use that to their advantage in life and business? Early in his life, David had a tragedy – his little sister was killed getting off the school bus. He shut down much of his emotions and developed his cerebral side. He got really good at thinking and finding solutions. There are at least fields that we need to get interested in. The first is the field of thinking and thought. Most of us are not aware of our thoughts. They just happen. Second, the body and understanding the signs from it, like the need to take a deep breath. Third is emotions. Understanding how we feel and why. You can do courses to practice in these areas. Most importantly is to slow down and check in in these areas to understand and then you can share them with others. At the 12 min mark, David and I have a conversation on awareness. Many people are living on default and not aware to how to understand the 3 areas and use this understanding to help their lives and business. Google “Authentic Relating” this it term that describes this field of study. How does understanding this help you in life and business? It can help you in leading people It can help you in keeping key staff and growing them It can help you get clients. It will help keep customers. It will help you in your marriage and your relationships with your kids. Explain focus as you see it and teach it? “The human mind is like a monkey on crack…” At the 20 min mark, David gives an example of how this happens. The problem as entrepreneurs is that we see all the options and opportunities around us and start to get scattered. We lose focus trying to accommodate all of this. Work out what you are going to choose to care about for 12 months and narrow it down for 12 months. Once you’ve chosen what to care about it, you then have to choose what not to care about. Write these things down. You have should have 12 months goals, 8-week goals, and then you need 7 days goals that you write down each week that are helping you get to the longer term goals. Anything people can do daily to keep focus and/or remind them of keeping focus? You can double your productivity with a simple checklist. Make sure you have your 12-month goals and that you LOVE them. Make sure you have 8-week goals that you will celebrate because when reached they are getting you close to your 12-month goals. Book in your calendar for a weekly recurring 20-minute date with yourself. David calls this a CEO date. In this session, look back at what you did in the last 7 days and celebrate it. Then look at your 8-week goals and ask what you are going to choose to care about for the next 7 days. Write it down as that will be your 7-day goals. Have a penalty that you do not want to keep you honest to doing them. Daily, block off “sprints” in your calendar. These are focused time blocks with no interruptions. 2 hours blocks work well. Put your phone on silent and let everyone around you know to support you and give you the time. Get Paid for Who You Are – tell us about it… The book is about what you care about and really love and how you make a living around it. Even if you have to start it as a hobby – you need to scratch the itch. If you track all your actions during the week, look at them and then ask, “Do I love doing it? Am I great at it?” If the answer is yes that is your genius zone. With everything else, you need to get it off your plate and get someone else to do it or eliminate it. The more you are in your genius zone, the better you will be. Talk to us about leadership and tough conversations? Having a tough conversation is a leadership move. Don’t let things hang in the air that you know need worked through delt with. David gives multiple examples and it is best to just listen The clue that you have a tough conversation opportunity is that you are feeling a bit awkward or uncomfortable. How you approach it is different in each scenario. ​ 5 steps to double revenue? Have your 12-week goals Have your 8-week goals Book your sprints and show up for them. Have a weekly CEO data for yourself to pick your targets for the next 7 days Set an alarm for the end of the day where you ask, “If I only got 2 things done tomorrow that would make the most difference, what would they be?” That will tell you where you need to start the next day.   Best Quote: The human mind is like a monkey on crack…   David's Misfit 3: Love your goals. Have goals that if achieved would make you do a happy dance. Have a “not to do” list. Have an agreement with yourself of what you won’t do. Welcome everything. Embrace things and then think and choose action from there.   Show Sponsors: Believe in People:  https://believeinpeoplebook.com/Lukas 5 Minute Journal: www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com/Journal

I've wasted so many precious years watching TV, series, movies, etc. I remember I used to watch series continuously 9 hr or 10 hours and never realised what I was doing with my life. And always blaming others for my misfortune. I had the worst communication, low self-esteem, couldn't write an email without the help of someone. I never realised it happened to me because of what I was allowed to feed my mind. I was well updated about upcoming movies, series, actor or actress life but it could not help to grow in life. Trust me when I started reading books and listening to world-class true leaders, it changed my life and I completely stop wasting my priceless time. What YOU ARE doing with your life. Are YOU a guy who spend time by reading or watching successful people"s journey and thoughts OR Same guy as I was.

As you speak, catch yourself speaking as if there are two of you. You who had the experience in the past and you who exist now There is not two of you. There is not three of you: one who is in the past, one who is in the present and one who might be in the future. It is not there, but that is who you are functioning . You are the Presence of the Almighty NOW. What you are saying is valid but it sends energy back into the past, it sends energy and brightness back into objects. All that energy and consciousness cannot marry NOW. Because you are going this way or that way or that way But if you stop doing that and you discover ...to connect the resonance of the Knowing with the here and Now in your body , when you're able to speak NOW , when you're able to speak what you're saying NOW inside of you, you will have realisation..however that is ..it might e a touch, it might be total - either way it is going to be wonder-full. 40:04 So when you speak, keep moving towards not projecting what you're saying as if it exists in the past and that you existed in the past. You are Existence , Totality, NOW. And you have to keep bringing what you are saying ..like two wires that don't want to meet. You have to bring them together, fuse them together.. We think so outwardly, as if we're a subject to objects ..we are so out there and what we don't realise is that what we are is connected inside our brain instant. You can see this when you look at a baby, because they are so connected. There is no past or future . You can do that now. You make those connections..do that now but just let go of the idea that you're someone making those connections... If you wanted to taske bread and butter right now, you could without any bread and butter If you want to taste your favourite food right now, you can taste it right now. If you want to know our Love right now, you can know it right now. Q: And if you want to experience anything from the past you can experience it now.. B Exactly what I a saying...the whole point though is , if you want to experience your past right now, then that's a dimension of Now , called an illusion. If you want to experience your past as the light you are Now , that's perfectly fine. Have you go to that kind of mastery? can you zip in the past in the future up, down, sideways ..anywhere you go and you remain omnipresent ? Well then you must be quite a Beingness. If you can go in the past without identification, go in the future without identification you must be God. Because if you can do that and you're able to go into the past you can change the past. You can forgive those you thought you can never forgive and you can even forgive yourself. You can do that right now. Then if you can forgive others in the past, the biggest lesson you're learning is actually you're only forgiving yourself..fully ... You 're the one that mistook you for a separate entity. These are real fast track realities..that unless you live them and Of course what appears to be the outside world does not live this , will not believe it because the function of their brain ,their body-mind has not been calibrated in such profound truth - or simple truth or real truth. Truth for Real. You can't get there (What You Are) from here ( ..thinking you're somebody, having a past) Here is nowhere else but HERE and it is not of space or time but space and time appear in it. That's YOU: spaciousness. You can't get there from here means : identify with any thoughts or feelings in any space or time ..you will never know that you're whole. You will only know a separate sense.

What is NOW? Who is NOW? Is it a thing? Is it an energy? Is it a body, is it a mind, is it a movement? Is it a thought ? Is it a feeling ? What is NOW? You CAN go there ,because he one who is listening is Now but the mind cannot do anything but keep making that NOW something other than the one who is here, objectifying it . That's what really hurts. You think everything else hurts , but that's the only thing that hurts. Objectifying NOW. You can't 'do' NOW, you can only stay openly realising What NOW is. What is it that's NOW? If I say 'Who?' that's another arrow of another way..but what is it that is NOW , that has Awareness disappearing . As Awareness disappears it realises WHAT it is. Then Light happens and then the disappearance of Awareness turns into bright instantaneous Pure Knowing or Consciousness. The only thing, when we say 'perception'..you don't perceive things and there is no one there that is perceiving. NOW is perceiving NOW. WOW! Your mind is like a 1000 doves or more. Then all the shields around this idea that you're a someone and that there are others..they just crumble. So the moment a shield comes up just be so open that you really fully allow yourself to experience that resistance because it is also in NOW. You get to come to a place where openness is no longer just a word. Heart is no longer some mental idea in your brain. You begin to actually experience what openness is because it is What You Are. It's quite different to live a life so utterly belonging to That and still have clarity and intelligence within our daily life. But NOW, NOW there is not a single thing that is not made of NOW. That's a treasure beyond belief. Everyone is convincing everyone that you are not NOW. You ARE. You ARE That. From Lounge Room session NZ 200709

Have you ever known yourself without existing? Have you ever known yourself without existing? Have you ever actually had anything pass away? Are YOU passing away? Did you ever pass away? Will you ever pass away? This brings us to the next question.. Can there be two realities? Can there be a reality that says 'I'm a person', 'I'm a someone', with all the content of conditionality , all the personalised imprints of polarity such as likes and dislikes. Do hear we are not making any of this wrong. Maybe we might find it is actually a play. There cannot be two realities, a self, born in certain conditions with certain rules, a self that moves in and as space and time looking for familiarity to move by as if familiarity is pure knowledge or pure I, in other words, the gold? Or is it that THE Self is real, so that's The Self with no before or after, no above or below, no closeness or distance, no how or where or when. No time , no moment , no duration. Literally no manifestation and yet manifestation is made of 'This'. No place, One without Oneness, Singularity without being One. Apparent without appearance hidden without hiding. All that I hear is the deeper Truth, the truth of That that is Here. Not anywhere else but Here. You could call it the Lord if you want, or the Truth or Pure Light or Awareness. I am actually asking you or at least I am pointing towards your own deeper entrance into knowing What You Are. Will you live as the world, will you live as time and space ? Will you live as if you have a duration? Will you live as if you're someone? Will yo live to a certain code or a certain truth ? Or will you live completely openly AS You? Again, Who Are You ? How will you live ? Will you simply remember Love , be Love and eve though tere may be feelings of fear, will you just leave fear alone ? Will you leave time and space alone ? Will you leave the future alone ? Will you leave the past alone? Of course I can speak in many different ways ...I could say that you are Consciousness and you have access to many different dimensions, but what of what good or benefit is that to you, if you believe you are a someone? Does someone have access to the No-one? Can your past identified and names as a someone ever know itself? Can only the Beingness of Truth , not divides from some outside idea, some book or some other , can only Truth know Truth? Can only Love know Love ? And yet I am saying that the one who is Here, and please keep your 'I' in your own core ..is Truth, is Love, is That..no duration. Where utter Openness and Freedom is, delight is, joy is that One. We might hear that the mind is still making the listener other than that One. But that One is speaking and listening, that One is seeing and hearing . That One is That that is Here, wherever Here is . So then it is said that if you know yourself without existing and passing away you actually know God, not You as someone , but You as You. from 200614 -

Function is quite natural. It's easy to see how function is quite natural. Do you have to function your heart beating ? No. It's quite natural. Do you have to function breathing ? No. It's quite natural. The whole body functions quite naturally without a doing of this. I am saying that in very much the same way you don't have to think about function. The world has taught you to think about 'You', about That that cannot be thought about. You cannot think about 'You'. You cannot . When you’re taught to think about ‘You’, your brain thinks that you are ‘the doing through thinking’ and thinking, if you look, it is always in the past, in some past action. So, somehow thought and function have been thinking and functioning as if they are 'You' and that is the pattern that has got into the body-mind and overlaid your gorgeousness, your wonder, your innocence. Many people on this planet think and function as if they're ‘someone’ and it's not the truth . That's why we as humanity are really quite unhappy or distorted or ‘less than we know we could be’. It is because we think far too much about doing something , yet the whole universe is the expression of what we ARE without thinking or doing . I will endeavour to express what I mean by this: Quite naturally What You Are, which is pure bright black Awareness moved to know itself and Light happened . You Awareness, move and Light happens and that Light, its movement on every realm that is manifest, is a function of You realising You. The entire cosmos is about Self realising itself, stars, planets, life and death, all of it is Self realising itself. And within that there is natural function. As Awareness, you and I, really start to rest, a function happens that is nothing short of a miracle. Things start to come our way that the mind might say are a coincidence but what it actually is, is a coming together of our interior and of our existence emerging. So as we truly begin to rest at the level of the heart, Awareness, both the hemispheres of the brain, the left and right, rest. They are the masculine and feminine instruments of divine perception. That's what is yin-yang in all of us. When the brain, left and right hemisphere, is rested pure direction and pure life begin to emerge in the spacious consciousness of I AM. We begin to awaken to our immediate Awareness, our immediate intelligence and the deeper realms of our pure Being and the function is exhilarating and joyful, blissful and natural. The whole body belongs to that and is manifested in that profundity of Light and brightness. That is what we are. Teacher Call 6 June 20

When Kute Blackson was ordained into his father's ministry in Ghana at the age of 14, he had his entire future mapped out for him.

Whether you're going to a studio that can produce your self-tape or you plan on doing the tape yourself, there are certain key things you should be thinking of: #1. Be prepared. If you've been given the script days in advance or at least a day in advance, please read the material, study it, and prepare. There is nothing that reads more unprofessional than an actor who is not prepared. It's a waste of your time, a waste of time for the person reading with you, and does not leave a good impression amongst casting directors. The idea is not to try and book THIS job, but instead, leave an impression that will keep you in the room for the rest of your life for ALL JOBS, or at least the ones you're right for. #2. Show up for yourself at least 15 minutes early. If you do this, you will not be stressed out, you will have a moment in which to breathe and really get into the zone. This same rule applies across the board, even in life. Show up for yourself! #3. Rehearsal is homework. Keep it this way, this way you don't spend time trying to figure out how you're going to execute the scene during your self-tape session. Come prepared and ready to play. Use the time you've booked or set aside to try different options that will bring you closer to the success of the scene or scenes. #4. Be OFF-BOOK! Actors who have properly prepared and have made a choice, walk into the room with little or no doubt, confident (not Ego & Pride) and leave strong impressions with casting directors. This is the same energy you should walk in with when you do your self-tape at a studio or on your own. Your the casting director for the next few minutes to however much time you spend on the self-tape. So just like them, root for yourself and expect the very best! #5. TRUST. The most important ingredient for a successful self-tape. Trust that you have what it takes. That it's in your DNA. That it lives in your spirit. This way, if you've prepared and you TRUST, nothing but the very best will show up. As a side note, when you do your Slate*, make sure to take full control of this moment. Don't shy away. It's the one line that isn't in the script and, it belongs to YOU. It's truly your moment to shine and show “Who” and “What You Are!”. *Slate: When you state your name at an audition. For some auditions, this can sometimes be followed by stating the following items: Character Name, Height, Agency, Location of where an actor resides and/or does an actor have a valid Passport. Any other items depending on the project can be added to this list. This is usually stated very clearly in the breakdown or by the casting director in the room.

What Is Your WHAT Wednesday: Steve shares his discovery that it's very difficult for people to articulate who they are and what they do, and the impact they have on others... Listen in as Steve, Mary, Rich and the crew… The post Articulating Who and What You Are appeared first on Reinvention Radio.

CLIP What You Are is Instant You can't get the realising of Truth as You, whilst you function as a memory of someone. You can't realise the Absolute as that that changes. That's why to be more still and gentled in each moment, you begin to know and see as Beingness and begin to let go of this idea that you're somebody. Otherwise the sense of self and person is filtering out what you 're hearing back to you as being a someone. Truth points to You being no-one. So the moment you begin to struggle, stop and be still. The more you are open and still, you begin to see as Consciousness itself, but this way of awakening - being true, loosens all the stories of being someone. Look deeper than the sense of a story. What You are is so instant. You won't find What You Are in space and time. I know you know this..so then keep softening and opening. Give each moment to move in openness rather than being someone doing something . You struggle more because the mind has an investment in knowing the Truth. The mind, when you see through it,remains open and silently still and only shines the Light of the streaming and then forms the Light of streaming without past or future. It looks like when we look into the universe that it's millions or billions of years old. That's the mind - it is streamed now! Keep relaxing. When you find your mind trying to get hold of something, relax and open. Do what you need to do but live what you know to live from the streaming. from "The Me Is Your Root Possession"Turin 2017 Full Session Recordings of B's satsangs are available here : http://bprior.org/recordings/ www.bprior.org

B in response to a question about the choices we make and their consequences. B: What You Are has no need to reflect off of any belief that anything is previous to What You Are. In short: You're not of time or space. Your Being doesn't function in a linear way. You, as Awareness, have identified with a level that believes it lives in a linear way. So in a deeper place previous choices have no reality although the forms of previous choices will still be moving through. But in awakening leave the forms of previous choices, although uncomfortable when you don't do anything with them anymore, leave them alone and belong to the deeper awakening you're knowing. You'll experience, You Awareness, you'll experience the death of previous choices within your experience. You'll experience that death of previous choice through your relatedness but you are introducing to your relatedness the depth of new Knowing. So there are moments of uncomfortable sensations and experiences as you let go of previous choices. It's that you're no longer held prisoner to your old way of a sense of self. Shocking as it is to your sense of self and how you believe you know others. All that will change. Others will say they don't know you anymore, because you are no longer supplying them with a familiar reflection. And in the same way you are not supplying you with a familiar reflection. You're dying to the known and deepening into the Self-Realisation. But you must belong to it ,You Awareness, not you the someone. So your experience of what you once believed you needed will be dying. You must leave it alone. It only heals through you being deeply true to the deeper awakenings of What You Are. You must go deeper, realise deeper, belong to the deeper and the deeper will become you, because it is YOU as Awareness, but you can no longer use any familiarity. You must die to the idea that you were ever someone and die to the idea that there are others. You must meet everyone as your Self, as pure Beings at the level of the heart, regardless of how difficult that is for your old sense of self. That sounds a lot to undergo, because you're used to fixing things for a sense of self, but now you're awakening to your essential power of Love, although it might not feel like it. The more you 're true to your Being, the more the old levels heal and awaken to what you are bringing forth from the Deep. Stay bringing forth the Deep. Any moment you show up as a someone, you let that someone go. What you really are is not locatable as a someone. This is why you're perfectly fine when you go into deep dreamless sleep. You are now not locatable. In deep dreamless sleep you are perfectly the Wholeness of What You Are. Then the awakening will begin to fill up your heart, fill up your self and fill up your person. You will clearly see What You Are and you will love what's moving because you're awakening to True You. Of course as a separate sense of self you are supposed to be responsible for previous choices, but that entity doesn't actually exist. There is no separate sense of self! It is all Pure Consciousness in its play. But you can't live two lives, you can't try to belong to your separate sense of self and previous choices and belong to what's deeper in the awakening. That’s duality. You must clearly belong to the Deep. Then you will see the Deep everywhere and you will be able to meet the Deep in others, the same as you're meeting the Deep in you. You must go that way to see how this wonderful Being that you truly are moves. Your life will change because you are bringing more of what you are in the Unseen, in your growing ability to be true to what you authentically are.

The One who does not exist cannot express Reality. The One who does not exist cannot, does not express Reality. Now if you just get a tiny little drop of that the mind slips and spins out. Slips and spins out. Whoever it is that is listening to these words that move through the mind to discover Reality, which its own Self, finds traction in the mind and attraction in the mind. In the mind then attraction turns to aversion so then there is an attraction and an aversion. It's the movement of polarity moving. It has traction but it's an illusion, a super-imposed image on pristine bright mind or Consciousness. The moment that Awareness hears this the mind slips, looses traction and spins out, for it is not the One who is total and totally in and All. There are many levels to this Great One and it is shining Reality. All levels are on their return and as Awareness awakens to its own bright Self it is in the experience of the return of all levels being realised by What It Is. Unchanged by the return, Awareness remains its own inherent Self in its own inherent Freedom in its own inherent radiance. It's the Truth. Forms then are an expression, from light to existence, are expression of this expression and its return. It is called Infinity. Infinite Awareness in the enjoyment of timeless experience that it is already perfect in its totality. Here in this human field it seems that there is separation from this. Mind is the proliferation that Awareness is a particular someone with particular wants and needs but that in itself is the illusion and identification with that is the struggle. The struggle then, is the endeavor to remain in the traction of identity. Any real awakener will constantly slip and spin out until you observe that the slipping of mind is that you are freeing What You Are, your Awareness, from identification with any form of experience other than the brightness that One is. The birds sing this, the plants sing this, the stars sing this and are in the realisation of this constantly, all drawn Home into the black hole of Wholeness. The black hole of Wholeness is the ground in which all forms emerge, return and resolve of which there is experience of on every level. But the ground of that experience is Reality itself, realising Itself. No-thing, realising it is not a thing, where all seeming things are already One in its experience, not two.

Your Deeper Body When you look in the bathroom mirror, you who is seeing, you see a body. But if you go a little bit deeper than what your mind tells you you see on the surface, you'll see a deeper body. Because this body is a surface display of a far, far greater body, such as the Universe, such as the Cosmos, such as the body of Pure Being or Pure Love . When you cease relating to the surface form and your relationship is with the heart as an entrance into the light of your own Being, the body in your experience begins to open and there are moments when you drop into a deeper body. You drop and sometime you startle and you go: ‘Oh!?’ and then you just dismiss it. But that was a shift of Awareness into a deeper unseen placeless place of Being that then is a relationship within a deeper level of embodiment. If you realise deeper, the body will open into the more of what embodiment is. So then that drop that you sometime feels is, not only are you dropping into a deeper place of the Unseen, but it correlates with a deeper opening in the body. Then the body opens to the deeper mystery that is the One who is hearing the words now . Then there is a deeper unseen mystery in terms of Consciousness itself , like in deep dreamless sleep, which when you close your eyes - the ground of all existence is that black, but if you just close your eyes s, that black is radiant. So when you open to what is deeper, your body will open, but if you're holding on to a storyline, you'll believe that something is happening in your body that someone else is doing, such as a partner. ‘No, this doesn't feel good!’ you will say. But if you open to what is deeply calling you, you realise that that is you holding on to a surface idea of who you are. Once you get that, it's like turning the golden key into a new place of light and Being. Your body opens up and the well being you're knowing is because the deeper realisation is now pouring into the deeper body and you're changed and you're more whole. That is without beginning and end. That is the deeper body through the deeper seeing and belonging to Awareness Knowing in the moment. That will continually open. Until the body drops away the non-purpose purpose of this is to realise What You Are and yet on the surface that has a purpose in that everything evolves and moves to shine the Light of the One who truly is here and present. SHORT D7S1

You ARE In Communion With The One Let's stay with the word communion. There is nothing but communion. We can pretend we don't know who we are in our meeting. We can pretend that you are someone I have never met before, but we're always meeting 'this One'. We are always meeting this One. This One is the Only One one can ever meet, regardless of the display of thoughts and feelings that give you false information, that ' there are others over there. Others who don't get this...'I am getting this and they don't'.' No! I AM This! No-one is not This - I AM This. You're only ever meeting in communion with What You Are, regardless of its display. The evolution of humanity is not ‘done’ by someone but The One who is the Master of the Universe is mastering the universe in each and every one of us. When Awareness is true to Knowing then Awareness is being mastered by the Knowing. Stay true to Knowing; that is Self- mastery. The Master is at the heart of each and every individual and as each and every apparent individual awakens to Knowing,the Master is mastering in its Knowing the sense of I. Transformation. And so the Universe moves. So when we meet we're actually in communion, even if you say we've never met you before or even if you are in the grocery shop, you are in communion You are in communion with the Self or the Beloved, whichever word you want. You can dress it up as much as you want, but finally it is the Truth, ‘You are in communion wit the One.’ Everything else is the display of that One, regardless of events. The only event that is taking place now is not happening to someone. This is the singular event of the wonderment of I and it's Now.It's Here! No-one is involved in this because there is only this One! So then when we commune in apparent bodies, that communion will shift your Knowing and you will either move to a deeper knowing, so we can meet and we can know the light that is the I, so your body is made of light, the birds are made of light, the song is made of light, the carpet is made of light. All there is, is light. Check it out. You need an object to know this light. Go up into space - it's black. Everything is appearance in Pure Awareness, Black. But you see the sun in the distance, but you don't see any light unless you have an object for it to display itself on. The light is knowing its own Knowing. Objects are simply the mirror of the Knowing. There is no-one here. ALL is the Goodness. You cannot meet anyone but that that you already are. No-one is doing anything to you. The One event is Now and you are the light that is shining this right now. Rather than awaken to What You Are, awaken to your dreaming this. Awaken IN the dream, not away from it. Awaken IN the dream. 2017 INDIA D7S1

"When the body drops away you will realise the difficulties that you had in this life were golden doors to deeper realisation. It's the mind that tells you that they're difficult, because the mind believes that there should be a certain way of life in accordance with my relationship to polarity. Like or Dislike ..and if you look this world is the movement of polarity, not self realisation, not The Truth." "This moment s a moment of the Highest Reality formed as You. Use thought and your thought will tell you otherwise. Go to your heart and discover What You Are." "When you belong to your heart you can walk anywhere and realise deeper and deeper awakening to what you are. Hear with your heart, hear with the Light in your heart. Walk with the light in your heart. Nature supplies you an easy way - the deeper realisation is to walk amongst the people." SHORT INDIA 17 D1 S3 SHORT

You are all Universal beings regardless of who you ever think you are on the level of humanness. That's a game that you are playing until you are over it. You Awareness, who is the Supreme Being, unaffected by what takes place in the world. But definitely affected on the level of surface form - definitely! But on the level of surface form, to bring What You Are all the way to the surface so the surface form matches your deep Supreme Intelligence, the Light of your Love, is the movement of why you sit here today. It is a deep movement , because you are all here, a deeper movement and a deeper impulse in what you call your life. But your life is not this little thing. Your life is as big as the Cosmos. You keep it contained in a thimble called ‘me’. The dream passes away but You will not. You will remain. The idea, as it were, is to awaken in the dream. you don't need to be free of the dream. You are already free of the dream but you choose to believe you're not through thoughts and feelings that arise because you're not realising that You put those thoughts and feelings together. One single word manifests where you come from. So if Awareness continues to identify with any level of body-mind needing a particular feel-good and not needing an uncomfortable feeling. The moment you move to get away from an uncomfortable feeling, on that level you are forming more density, by believing that level and not being available to be the Openness that it is all coming from. Then that level is going to be integrated more than the light of your realization. Because You are a creative force because You are That that is behind all experiences in any level of existence. You are behind it. You're not actually in it. This very difficult to hear when you believe so much that you are. NZ RETREAT16 D1S1 www.bprior.org

"What you are is Awareness. Is your body made of what you are? Is a thought made of what you are? See clearly, it is. Within a thought you are still Awareness-Knowing. The thought doesn't contain what you are. You are what you are - uncontainable even within a thought. Your body doesn't contain what you are. You are what you are even within an apparent containment of a body. Be what you are amongst any thought, any feeling, any body - anywhere, and you will BE and realise What You Are."

1 Corinthians 1:1-9 (1) What You Are as a Saint (2) What You Have as a Saint

In this excerpt B responds to a question about the extremes appearing in humanity right now. Go to the extremes. What happens in extremes? Have a look... if there were extreme weather conditions - right now - extreme ..what would you do? You would wake up - would anything be normal for you ? No. What you be taking care of ? You would be taking care of The moment - fully. This moment of Life . Suddenly you would cherish life with all that you are with every breath in the moment. Suddenly you woke up to what you are and what you are is extremely One with the universe. You need extremes to be woken up. Look at extreme weather conditions - what weather does, what the seasons do is keep the surface moving . Weather doesn't allow the surface to stay in one season. Weather brings all seasons to the surface so the surface can know real movement of full life . Life lived at the extreme at its peak awakened-ness. Weather clears the surface , blows it free , nourishes it and starts all over again. This is what Extremes do - in extremes you don't know what's going to happen and yet you come fully alive in Life. If you just treat the surface from the surface then What You Are will go to sleep and just become a surface instrument. You become self concerned , self satisfied , self important. It will all be about your comfort zone and the smallest bit of weather will have you upset. Therefore your surface won't get cleaned , wont get broken , nourished reseeded , replanted and won't regrow the next level of you. It is too shallow to take the seed of gold that you are." Cease taking care of your self . Take care of THE MOMENT with your heart and everything will come alive. You will come alive! You will create the very extreme conditions of presence that Goodness can plant all that is Real in. Your mind will be blown away like a thousand doves. Because all that you are know in this extremity of fully living is incredible peace and passion. Instead of taking care of all the things that have no meaning and value . None at all. Taking care of the future - using self. It is just taking care of your self , which actually cannot be taken care of because it is an illusion . It is all a mental overlay over the precious Oneness life moving in a torrent of passion missed by 99.9 human beings. There is no peace when you are hardly living. There is no peace when you are only taking care of your self, your wants and needs. No peace - in fact there is war and division and starvation and limitation. It is only when you are living at your optimum that everything is alive and real and nothing can be destroyed. That's when you're at peace . A peace that knows no end. Nothing can touch it and there is no need to protect is . It is really What You Are.

Ep34_How To Stop Apologising for Who & What You Are by The Main Protagonist Coaching

Introduction Oh man, well I have so much joy in preaching the text that Walter just read for you. We get to talk today about the supernatural connection between light and fruitfulness, and I've been thinking much about light in my mind's eye, I was thinking about some of the most glorious sunrises I have ever seen in my life. God in His kindness has led me to some amazing places in the world and there are a lot of contestants, for that. I think about one sunrise, I saw over Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the most beautiful place I ever seen, up on a rocky kind of outcropping, and I could see the ocean and the rocky shoreline, as it went north and south away from where I was and that was beautiful. Of course, I think about in my mind's eye the Grand Canyon, and seeing that and how beautiful that was as the sun just filled in all of the deep, deep crevices of that canyon. But one in particular that sticks out in my mind is the sunrise I saw in the northwest frontier province of Pakistan, and the Hunza Valley there and how amazing that was and the Indus river cutting through there and it's very arid except where there had been some human irrigation, and there was just a line of green below that irrigation, above it was just very desert-like. Spectacular mountains there, the Karakoram mountain, the second highest mountain range in the world. And then the Hunza Valley, one of their agricultural specialties is cherries, kind of white-pink cherries, they were incredibly sweet. And we were there right at the harvest time. And all of these blankets were under these trees and they would just come and beat the branches with sticks and they would just fall down, and we can eat as many as we wanted, and they were just so delicious. And I can picture the sunrise coming up in my mind now, and how beautiful that was. The Light and the Darkness And as I come to Ephesians 5:8-14, I think about this supernatural connection between the light of Christ, the light of the Gospel, the light of truth and the fruit that God wants to see in our lives, we have a powerful image here, of light and darkness. And that expresses very clearly the kind of lives that God wants us to live in this present age. The Bible is full of language of light, light is a very important theme in the Bible. Right from the very beginning, as “God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was formless and empty and darkness over the surface to the deep, and the Spirit was hovering over the waters.” And then the first thing that God says in the Bible is, "Let there be light". I've meditated on that before, I've tended, I think, erroneously thought the first thing God ever made was light, but it seems that the first thing He made was the heavens and the Earth, but it was dark, and the first thing God said in the Bible is "Let there be light", and that just shows a desire that God has to tell us what there is. What really exists, what He made, that we would see it and know it, it's a sense of revelation that God wants us to know the truth of what's out there in the heavens and the earth. And so He created light. That's the way I understand it. And then also from the beginning of the Gospel of John, we have that same imagery, coming over from Genesis 1 where it says, "In the beginning was the Word [Jesus Christ] and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning through Him all things were made and without Him [Jesus Christ] nothing was made that has been made and in Him [in Christ] was life and that life was the light of men and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not understood it.”So the word darkness, then means far more than just the absence of light in the Bible, more than that, because in Genesis 1, God separated the light from the darkness, and very poignantly, He called the light good. Doesn't say anything about the darkness, but the clear implication there is that, it is the light that is good, not the darkness. And we get that even more clearly in 1 John chapter 1, where we're told, "God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." We're going to come back to that passage later in the sermon but there's that clear sense that the light is beautiful, and good, and attractive, and the darkness is evil. One of the plagues of Egypt in Exodus 10:21, the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, so that darkness will spread over all of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt." It's a very powerful statement, a darkness that can be felt, a pervasive evil that settles around, and in us, like a damp fog, there's that sense of a darkness in this present age, a darkness that can be felt, I think that that is a description of Satan's evil reign on planet Earth. His evil kingdom, which covers the whole earth. We're going to see this later in the next chapter in Ephesians 6:12, if indeed we ever get there, I think we're going to get there, but some of you are commenting to me, but bear with us I think if God gives us grace we'll get to Ephesians 6. And then perhaps even beyond. But there in Ephesians 6:12 it says, "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark age”, “or this present darkness." And so, Satan has this dark realm, this dark organized kingdom with rulers and authorities, and powers, and dominions. And it is this present darkness, and Jesus is the light of the world shining in that darkness. As we're told beautifully in Isaiah 9:2, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light, and those living in the land of the shadow of death, the light has dawned, and that light is Jesus Christ.” So when Jesus entered the world, the light began shining and the devil has never been and never will be able to put it out, he cannot extinguish it, he cannot understand it, he cannot block it, he cannot stop it, that's the light of Christ. And when Christ entered your life, a supernatural light began shining in your hearts. Which 2 Corinthians 4:6 says, "It's the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ", in other words how magnificent and great and glorious God is when you look into the face of Christ. That's the light that is shining in the heart of every true Christian, is a sense of the glory of God in Christ. We Must Bear Fruit Now, Paul calls on each one of us in this text, then to bear fruit from that light. One of the amazing features of light, is that it is essential to all life on Earth. There's an intimate connection between light and life, it's essential to all food, to the entire food chain. Everything starts with light. Here, I speak of the marvel of photosynthesis. Now, that's a bit weird that we're talking about photosynthesis, and I'm not going to say much about it, except that the word just means ‘manufacturer or creation from light.’ So the manufacturer of things from light. And so we're surrounded every day by the marvels of biology, the marvels of life. And how God in a very mysterious way uses light, at every moment to create chemical processes in plants that produce ultimately fruit, and all life comes from that process. Now, I don't pretend to stand in front of you here, and explain exactly how it happens. But somehow the light shines on, let's say the leaves of an apple tree, and as the light shines on that, and as the soil conditions are right, and if the tree is healthy and there's rain, the proper amount of rain as the light is being soaked in by these green leaves, something is happening within those leaves that enables the apple tree to produce buds, flowers and buds. And then eventually at the right time, you see the makings, the very beginnings of an apple and if all things are right for the growing conditions at the right time, on a warm autumn day there's going to be a harvest of apples. And one of the favorite things my family is, love to do in the past, is go pick apples, and just the full fruit of all of the light that that healthy apple tree has been drinking in all summer long and be able to pick an apple right out and just eat it right away and it's so crisp and hard and sweet, you know what I'm talking about, my mouth is watering already. Just the tart, sweetness, and the juice just ready, somehow in a way that I don't think we'll ever fully understand. Light has produced fruit. It's a marvelous world that God has made, and Paul uses that kind of analogy in Ephesians 5:8-14, to speak of the lifestyle of the genuine Christian. And in this marvelous passage, Paul is commanding us to walk, or live our daily lives to walk as children of the light and then so doing produce the fruit of the light which he says “consists in all goodness, all righteousness and all truth.”We'll talk about all of that, but by contrast in the same passage where we see that fruitless deeds of darkness, he says. The lifestyle of the non-Christian, it produces nothing of value, nothing that commends our Lord or glorifies our Lord, nothing positive of eternal consequence comes from that life of darkness. This is the contrast we have before us in today's text. So, along with it comes the constant call to each of us as believers in Christ, to be fruitful. To bear fruit. And that we evaluate our lives on the basis of fruit. So today, I'm going to call you to look at your life honestly and see what fruit there is in your life. I've said again and again, and I'm going to keep saying, if there's no fruit, there's no life, do not be deceived. And so I want you to be able to look at the fruit of your life and know yourself and to understand the kind of life that really does lead to Heaven and be aware of that and be clear about that. So you evaluate yourself, your own fruitfulness. I want you to see, is there something sweet, is there something delightful, something honoring to God, something that He's pleased with in your life, something that's coming from your love of Jesus and your knowledge of the word and the power of the Spirit in your life? Is there's something flowing? Is there something the Lord can move through the garden and pluck from you, and enjoy in your life, you have to evaluate yourself. And if there is no fruit, it's not too late, there is time for you to repent and trust in Christ, and come to salvation and begin bearing fruit of righteousness. So look again at the words, Walter's already read them. But I just want us to immerse ourselves in these words, and understand them. Beginning of verse 8, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of the light for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret, but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible." This is why it is said, ‘Wake up, O sleeper, arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’” What You Were and What You Are (v. 8) Only A Good Tree Can Bear Good Fruit So, let's begin with this in verse 8, what you were and what you are. What you were and what you are. This is one of those magnificent verses, that encapsulates the supernatural change that comes on a genuine Christian, supernatural transformation, something that we cannot do on our own. Only the sovereign grace of God can bring this about. Now behind this is the concept, and Jesus taught it very plainly. “Only a good tree can bear good fruit.” So the immediate focus of these verses is be what you are, if you're a Christian. Be what you are. So we're going to be discussing fruit. But a fundamental change in nature must happen in you in order to bear good fruit for God. Jesus taught us this in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:17-20. He said, "By their fruit, you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes on thorn bushes or figs from thistles. Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit. But a bad tree cannot bear bad fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit, you'll recognize them.” So, the key principle there is a tree is known by its fruit. It is impossible for a good tree to bear bad fruit, Jesus says and a bad tree to bear good fruit. Now, obviously we know in Galatians 5, we're mixed, and so there's a lot of things coming out of us. And James says, "Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. This should not be.” We understand that. I'm not getting into all that. I'm just saying essentially, if there is any good fruit in your life, it's because God has done a sovereign work in you to make you a good tree, and it is impossible for a bad tree to produce good fruit, that's what he's saying. Now, I would say only a specialist, a trained botanist, let's say, or agricultural expert can tell the difference from one, let's say tree limb to the next or by looking at bark or the roots, right? We can't do that. Maybe some of you I'm talking to today, you're specially gifted people. And if I showed you five different leaves, you could tell me what those trees are. I can't do it. There's no way I could do it. But I think almost every toddler can tell the difference between a peach tree and an apple tree at harvest time. I mean, "that's a peach tree Mommy, that's an apple tree.” We just know because you know what a peach looks like and what an apple looks like, and so by their fruit, by what is coming out of that tree, that's how you know what kind of tree it is. So the fundamental spiritual concept here is a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. You Once Were Darkness In order for us to change the fruit of our lives, then we must become essentially different. We must become a different kind of tree. Jesus said the same thing in Matthew 12:33, "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and it's fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.” But you realize when you make a tree good He is actually telling you something in command form that you cannot do. You have no power to do that, you cannot make the tree good. You can't make yourself become good, it's actually impossible. Only the sovereign grace of God can make a previously bad tree to become good, so it bears good fruit for God, something only God can do. We who loved wickedness, we who loved darkness, we who loved to sin, how can we be transformed? Jeremiah put it very plainly in Jeremiah 13:23. "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing wickedness." You can't do it. Your habit patterns have shown that you love wickedness, etcetera. You can't change yourself any more than the Ethiopian can change his skin. Something only God can do. And we're told in this text, amazingly. You once were darkness. Just be amazed Christian brother and sister, what God has done to you. You were darkness. Look at it, look at the words, verse 8, "You once were darkness." Now, darkness is moral evil, it's wickedness, it's rebellion against Almighty God. First John 1:5, “This is the message we heard from the beginning, and declared to you God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” You were once, at one time in the past, in the days before you are Christians, you were darkness. Now, notice he doesn't blame your environment. He doesn't talk about what kind of family life, you were raised in, or any of those kinds of things. He doesn't talk about the fact that you lived in darkness, here. He's not actually saying this. He doesn't say you are walking in a land of darkness surrounded by dark people and all that. Those things are all true and taught elsewhere. Here He doesn't say that, He says "You were darkness." Darkness was in the very fiber of your being, it was in your heart, it was what you loved, it's how you lived and it wasn't accidental. We didn't just do dark things. We actually loved the darkness. Jesus taught this plainly in John 3:19, “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” That's who we were. So, darkness, moral evil penetrated to the very core of our being. Look back, maybe one chapter, in Ephesians 4:18, speaking about the lost, the pagans, the Gentiles who are unconverted. He said in Ephesians 4:18, "They are darkened in their understanding, and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardening of their hearts." That's the darkness of the pre-Christ condition, it's the very thing asserted earlier. If you look even further in Ephesians 2:1-3, as we said time and again, "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you used to live. When you follow the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient, all of us also lived among them at one time. Gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts, like the rest we were by nature objects of wrath.” Now, as I was thinking about "you were darkness", and all that, I know that some of you were raised in Christian families. Maybe you came to Christ at a very early age. We do believe that that you can be genuinely converted very, very young. But I'm just banking on the statement that Paul makes when he says, "All of us lived among them." This is true of all of us, even if you were converted at an early age and you didn't have much chance to develop in wickedness and sin, just as a son or daughter of Adam, that's what you were born into, that darkness and wickedness and if God hadn't converted you, you would have continued to love darkness as the rest of the human race does. So that's true of all of us. So apart from Christ, the darkness of evil penetrated our minds how we thought our hearts what we loved, our wills, what we chose. And we weren't merely surrounded by an evil world, fighting off evil temptations, doing the best we could, being basically good people. That's not what's taught here. We were darkness itself. We were part of the darkness and we added to the darkness of the world. Jesus said this in Matthew 6:22-23, "The eye is the lamp of the body." If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness, and if the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness? A Decisive Break Between Us and Darkness Well, that's what we were. Just completely characterized by darkness, our spiritual eyes were blind, we couldn't see invisible spiritual realms, we couldn't see Christ crucified and resurrected and God in His glory, we didn't understand Satan and all of his power, we didn't know any of these things, we were in the dark, we were blind, and we were darkness. Don't you love these verses? “For you were once darkness, but now you are children of the light.” I mean, we just can't ever stop celebrating that. It just dwarfs any problem you're having in your life right now, it dwarfs any sadness that you brought in here today. If you're a genuine Christian, this swallows up in victory anything that's dragging you down, now it's just so infinitely greater than anything that could ever happen or ever has happened to you. You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. And how magnificent is that. Oh God, give God thanks for your conversion, it's a supernatural act of grace. It's something you couldn't have done to yourself, and He speaks of the transformation that's occurred for us. We're not merely surrounded by light, we're not merely interested in light, we're not merely walking in light, we are light now. Just every bit as much as we were at once darkness. Light characterizes us now in Christ. Light defines you, it permeates you, it characterizes you, it's a radical change, that God's worked in your soul. You've been born again by the sovereign power of the Spirit of God. And you have been rescued from the dominion of darkness, Colossians 1:13 and “you've been transferred over into the Kingdom of the Beloved Son,” that's where you live. Jesus said in John 5:24, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes Him who's sent me has eternal life, and will not be condemned." He has crossed over from death to life. It's permanent. You will never be darkness again. Never. Forever, you will be light in the Lord. Isn't that amazing? Think about that. There's nothing the darkness can do to get you back. Now this new light, as we've already said in 2 Corinthians 4:6, is shining from within us. It's an internal work, that's done. The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ is shining within our hearts. And we love it, we love how glorious God is in Christ. It's absolutely the ravishing delight of our souls. We love it. Christ is the Light of the World Now, this is something that God has done inside you if you're a Christian. Jesus is the light of the world. He said in John 9:5, "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world, and in Him was life, and that life was the light of men, and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not understood it, the Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being.” And Phillip said, "Show us the Father and it will be enough for us" and Jesus said "Don't you know me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." But we're told in 1 Peter 1, we haven't seen Jesus. Oh yes, you have. The eyes of your heart through the faith in the Gospel, through the word of God, you've seen Jesus spiritually, the eyes of your heart were enlightened, and you now see Him and you see how radiant and glorious He is in the crucifixion, in the resurrection, and you love it, and you delight in it. And Jesus reveals the Father to us. The world was in darkness, alienated from God. Have you ever walked in an unfamiliar room with furniture in it and especially if it's a kid's room and it's not cleaned up? Have you ever walked in a totally dark room and hurt yourself? The thing that used to get me when I was growing up was Lego blocks. Have you ever stepped on a Lego block, with bare feet on a hardwood floor? Worse. Have you ever jumped from a bunk bed down on to a Lego block? I think, you actually can see colors in the dark when that kind of thing happens, something happens. I don't know what it is, but it's unforgettable. And so, non-Christians, they're moving through God's universe bumping into things and hurting themselves. They're bumping into furniture because they don't see that it's there. And they're falling into pits that they didn't see the enemy had dug, “if the blind lead the blind, both of them will fall into the pit,” Jesus said. So there's this image of they don't have any idea what's going on. They just can't see the lay of the land, they can't see what's in the room, they don't know what's happening, they're blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit, but verses 13-14, everything exposed by the light becomes visible. I think that's a better translation than the ESV. I think in this case, for it is light that makes everything visible, not everything that becomes visible is light, that just isn't true. I mean think about it. But it is light that makes things become visible, and so it is light that tells you what's where. What evil is and what good is, and where God is and where Satan is, and you can see it all now, and you can see the lay of the land and now you got it. And that's that spiritual vision that God gives us when we are converted. And now, not only that, now that we can see light, and delight in light and all that, but we are light and we have become like Jesus in a smaller way, the light of the world. We have become the light of the world, Christians have. Jesus, I know he said, "I'm the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12. But he also said in the Sermon on the Mount "You are the light of the world." A city on a hill cannot be hidden, neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it up in its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven. That's a life of fruit that's going to lead people to ask questions and eventually to come to Christ and they're going to glorify God. That's what's going on. So we are called on be light, and to shine light. To be holy and to show what we are. So here's how it works, this is New Testament sanctification. You are light, so live like light. You are holy, so be holy. You are a child to the King, now live like it. That's how sanctification is taught in the New Testament. What you are, now live it. Maybe you didn't know what you were. But you are light, if you're a Christian, that's what he's saying. Producing Fruit as Children of the Light (vv. 8-10) The Command: Live/Walk as Children of the Light Secondly, we have this in verses 8-10, producing fruit as children of the light. The command here is "live as children of the light or walk", is more literalistically true, "walk as children of the light." So our daily life should show light, that's in our souls, our hearts. There should be none of the darkness, the former darkness of the pagan world that we've been walking through in Ephesians 4. From those verses 17, 18, 19, all the darkness of the ignorance and the hardening of heart, and all that. And then he gets into specific patterns in chapter 4 verse 19, the enslavement to lust of the flesh that corrupted life. The lying in 4:25, the sinful anger in 4:26, the stealing in 4:28, the corrupted talk in 4:29, anything that grieves the Holy Spirit of God. In 4:30, the bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander of 4:31, the unforgiveness of 4:32. The sexual immorality of 5:3. The impurity, the greed of 5:3. The idolatry of that, 5:3. Also the obscenity, foolish talk and coarse joking of 5:4, all of these things and many other patterns besides, they formed darkness. That's what the darkness is. Each of them though, in Ephesians 4 and 5 was giving out a corresponding pattern that drives it out. You remember, we've been through each of these, but instead now, it's truth-telling, hard work, generosity to the poor and needy, speaking wholesome words, that edify and give grace to those who listen, a sweet forgiving temper which keeps no record of wrongs, sexually-pure, free from immorality, free from idolatry, a heart that's free from covetousness, living instead for constant fellowship with Almighty God, that's what it means to walk as a child of the light. John uses the same expression in 1 John 1:5-7, “This is the message we heard from Him and declared to you: God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth, but if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies.” It's powerful, continual present. Purifies us from all and righteousness. That drives out perfectionism. We're not talking about perfection. Cannot be. You can walk in the light, and still need an ongoing purification from the blood of Jesus. We all do that. But there is a life that's righteous and holy, and good, and possible. Not perfection, but it's walking in the light as He is in light, and the blood of Jesus purifies you ongoing. “Children of the Light” And he calls us here, children of light. It speaks of our transformed nature by the Spirit of God, we have believed the Gospel, and “He gave us the right to become children of God.” Children born by the sovereign grace of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Not biological reproduction but a supernatural work of God's grace, and we have become children of the light. And I love it when you see large families with kids and they all share some genetic link. Alright, it could be like curly brown hair, or it could be a certain shape of the nose, or something like that. And you just know that they're all sons and daughters of the same pair, the same couple. For us as children of God, we're not sharing physiological things, it's moral, it just has to do with how you live, how you talk, the things you love. And so, we are to show the family likeness as children of the light, that's what he's saying. And we are to produce fruit, look at verses 9-10. "For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth and find out what pleases the Lord." So continual abiding in Jesus results in fruit bearing. There's going to be fruit in your life, and this fruit is the proof of your Christianity. No fruit, no Christianity. I hope we're done here in the Bible belt with nominalism, and the idea that it's okay, it's enough to have been baptized in a church member for many decades. Out with such a religion, out with such a Christianity, it's a counterfeit. “Let no one deceive you with empty words.” That is not true Christianity, no fruit no Christianity, no justification, no forgiveness of sins, condemnation on Judgment Day. The “Fruit of the Light” So the fruit, is there fruit in your life? That's what you're looking for. “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,” John 15:2. “Such branches he collects up and they're burned in the fire.” John 15 and verse 6. So we are, like John the Baptist said to the Scribes and Pharisees who are very religious, "You brood of vipers. Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath, produce fruit in keeping with repentance?" That's what we're talking about. There's a life of fruitfulness, that comes from genuine conversion, and as we abide in Christ, that will come. Now, what is the fruit? Goodness, Righteousness, Truth Well, he says, the fruit consists number one, “in all goodness, righteousness and truth,” and then number two, in what pleases the Lord. They end up being the same thing, but he just gives us two different ways of talking about it. So the fruit consists” in all goodness,” and put the word "all" in all three of them, “all goodness, all righteousness and all truth.” That's what the fruit is. So what do we mean by these things? Well, I was meditating on the goodness of God. Now goodness comes to the very essential nature of His being. Do you remember when Moses was up on the mountain, he said "Now show me your glory." Remember that? Or God said to Moses, "I will cause all of my goodness to pass in front of you." It's like that almost sums up who I am. What sums up my glory is my goodness, God's goodness. So it consists in His benevolence, and His loving kindness, and His free generosity to all the creatures that He's made. He's just lavishly generous to everything He has created. God’s Goodness to All It says in Psalm 145:9, "The Lord is good to all, He has compassion on all He has made", in the same Psalm, Psalm 145:16, "You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing." So God just feeds everything and just by His goodness, He's just lavishly generous. So every time a thirsty animal, like a deer, a panting deer finds a mountain brook and drinks to her heart's content, that deer is experiencing the goodness of God, though she doesn't know it, and she's not in the image of God, cannot know that God gave her that water, but we know. And every time the skies pour down rain, and the showers come in the spring, and the land just drinks in the goodness from God and starts to bud and flourish and flower, that land is drinking in the goodness of God. Picture in your mind's eye a zoo, and you go around to one of the key exhibits. Okay? The lion. Alright. And it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon and it's a warm summer day, not too hot, warm, though. 80 degrees. And there's this huge flat rock. Big, big rock. Where is that lion right there? 2:00 in the afternoon. It is just laying on that warm rock sleeping. I'm like, "I didn't pay for that. I want to hear roaring, I want to see some... " But the lion is just drinking in the goodness of God in that sunshine. It doesn't know it. But it's drinking in goodness from God, He is good to all that He's made. God's goodness flows like a river of blessing on all creation, like sunshine and rain, and cool breezes, and the fragrance of spring and every succulent peach, you ever ate or every warm loaf of bread you ever took out of the oven and after it cooled you sliced it and ate it, it's goodness of God, and God shows that goodness to the evil and the good alike, to his friends and his enemies, that's just the goodness of God. Surely, “God is good to everything that he has made.” So the fruit of the light consists in being like that to the people in your life, you're just an open stream of benevolence and goodness to the people who know you. It just flows through you. People just blessed by being around you. They're blessed by your words, they're blessed by your money, they're blessed by the way you spend your time, they're blessed by your goodness. Now, you weren't good at one point, but now you are. And the fruit of the light consists in being good, like God is good, even to your enemies. And then, all righteousness, what does that mean? It means living up to God's perfect moral standard. I have a picture in my mind's eye, it comes from Amos 7 verses 7-8. And Amos, the visionary prophet, God showed him a vision, this is what he showed me. “The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb.” Now picture a plumb line, it's a string with a heavy metal weight that's pointed and He's hanging it there. “And the wall had been built true to plumb.” The plumb line is used for righteous building, if you can know what I say, the law of God is His standard of all righteousness, He always lives up to it. He displayed His righteousness at the cross. So, if you're a child of God, you're going to love God's law, and live up to it, you're going to show all righteousness as defined by the Law of God, not for the salvation of your soul, but because it's right, because you love it. You love the Law of God and you want to live up to it. All righteousness. And then all truth, it corresponds to the Word of God. Jesus said in John 17:17 "Sanctify them by the truth, your word is truth", and so everything that flows from the Scripture, everything that flows from the truth of God, especially as culminating in the person of Jesus, you just delight in the fruit of truth, you want to tell the truth. And it says next, proving or finding out what pleases the Lord. It's the summary of the life we should live at all times, we have as our ambition, whether we are at home or absent, to be pleasing to the Lord. To find out what's acceptable, what is pleasing. It's like in the NIV, it's like a scavenger hunt. "Hey, let's find out what pleases the Lord." Proving What Pleases the Lord So I went through and I just took that phrase, "pleased the Lord" or "what's pleasing to the Lord" and just positively, not that things that were not pleasing to the Lord, but I went through and found those things that are pleasing to the Lord. I'm not going to read all the verses, but believing in His Son pleases the Father. The Father is delighted when we believe in Jesus and love Him. And knowing Him pleases the Lord. “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his wealth, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he knows me.” Just knowing Him, for you to know Him that pleases God, it pleases Him if you obey his commands, because to obey is better than sacrifice, it's just pleasing to God, to obey His commands. "If you love me you'll obey me" Jesus said. Fearing the Lord, the fear of the Lord pleases Him. “The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.” Heartfelt worship. When you come here and you sing with all your heart and you just are lifting up spirit-filled songs, hymns, and spiritual songs from a full heart, not hypocritically, but from the heart, that pleases the Lord. It's a pleasing aroma. The prayers of the godly, are said to be a pleasing aroma that wafts up, that pleases the Lord for you to pray. The pure thoughts. “May the words of my mouth and “the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you oh Lord.” I want to speak pure words and think pure thoughts that will please the Lord. Proverbs 15:26, "The Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked. But those of the pure are pleasing to Him." “Bearing holy fruit in always,” Colossians 1:10. "Children obey your parents in everything for this pleases the Lord." So, you children, you teens, you young people, maybe you're in elementary school, you're in middle school, maybe you're in high school, and you're thinking, "This doesn't apply to me." It does. It pleases the Lord when you obey your parents gladly. It's pleasing to the Lord to obey them. To pursue righteousness pleases the Lord. To care for the poor and needy, pleases the Lord. To save souls. So that God can have that celebration in Heaven in the presence of the angels. Evangelism pleases the Lord. All of these things. Find out what pleases the Lord. Conversely, we're told to expose the fruitless deeds of darkness, verses 11 and following, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible." So this is negative sanctification. Don't partner yourself with people who are later going to experience the wrath of God. Don't buy shares in what they're doing. That's what I think the idea here is. Don't be partners with them. Don't have fellowship in the fruitless deeds of darkness. Don't partake in it. As it says in Revelation 18:4 about Babylon, "Come out from her, my people, so that you will not share in her plagues and her judgments." These are fruitless deeds of darkness. People who live for the deeds of darkness, at the end of their lives, they will look around at the evidence of a life of “eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you die.” And if you can just think image-wise their life, the floor of their life is cluttered with a bunch of empties, just empties everywhere on the floor. They look in the mirror and they see a sallow complexion and their skin is jaundiced and their eyes are bloodshot. The parties are over and now there's nothing but the wrath of God. Don't live like that. It says in Proverbs 5:11-12, "At the end of your life, you will groan. When your flesh and body are spent and you will say, ‘How I hated discipline, how my heart spurned correction.’" That's the empty, fruitless life of rebellion to God. It ends like the prodigal son feeding pig, saying, "How did I get here? I was lavishly blessed by my father with a big inheritance, spent it all on riotous living, and now I have barely rags on my body. I stink like pigs, and how much better it would be if I were in my Father's house." So don't live like that but that's not enough to just live and let live, it's just that's the way they're living. Exposing the Fruitless Deeds of Darkness (vv. 11-13) We're actually called on to expose these fruitless deeds of darkness. We're called on to a courageous life of exposure. Now, the Greek word here means, to prove by argument, that's what it means. We're going to show by argument, not by having an argument but showing by the word of God that this is a wicked thing to do. We are to show by evidence how evil those sins are by the word of God and by how we live. We're to bring to bear with power, the word of God, seeking to produce faith in the souls of the people so that they'll be convicted of their sins. Speaking Against the Darkness: Our Spiritual Ancestors Christians have done this throughout church history. Their godly lives have exposed wickedness of the society around them. I think about John and Charles Wesley during the Methodist revival in the 1700s. In 1736, every sixth house in London was a gin house. It was a grog-shop, every sixth house in London. And the gin sellers would hang out boards announcing they would make a man drunk for a penny, dead drunk for two pennies, but give him free straw to sleep it off. In that year, 1736, five million gallons of gin were distilled in England. Seven years later, the number had risen to seven million gallons of gin. By 1750 it was up to 11 million gallons of gin. London doctors, around that time, reported that there were 14,000 medical cases beyond their ability to cure, directly related to drinking gin. John Wesley's preaching among that of others and the revivals of God’s work transformed that society. It didn't get rid of all drunkenness and it certainly not but, it transformed London, so that by the end of his life, by the end of the 1700s, things had radically changed. I think also about William Wilberforce and the Clapham sect how they exposed the wickedness of the slave trade, and then eventually of slavery itself, over a 25-year fight. They just popped the lid off so people could see. You've seen the movie Amazing Grace? They put the fetters on the table and would say "Look, that's what they're wearing", as they're making that passage from Africa to the colonies. They exposed it, they made it clear. Amy Carmichael, missionary in India exposed and fought hard against the wicked practice of child abuse in Hindu temples and that brought a great deal of suffering and persecution even attacks on her life. African-American leaders in our country, in the Civil Rights Movement, exposed the wickedness of the Jim Crow laws and segregation, and the unfairness and injustice and brought lasting change in our society. Christians nowadays are exposing the wickedness of Planned Parenthood and the selling of body parts from aborted babies, and just how disgusting and evil that is. We are to do this kind of ministry, we're to expose the fruitless deeds of darkness. It's so easy for us to live and let live, but we're called on to be light and salt, the light drives back the darkness. I picture in my mind, a big bonfire in the middle of an Alaskan forest, and you can see the eyes and hear the howls of the wolves and the light keeps the darkness at bay. We are the light of the world, keeping the darkness, barely, the darkness at bay. We are the salt of the earth, so that the salt moves through the meat and it's a desiccant, and it keeps bacteria from spreading and the meat going bad later that afternoon, but salted meat will last a long time. We are a preservative, we're called on to do this, and this is going to take courage. I'm telling you, brothers and sisters, American Christians and Christians around the world. But I'm saying to you it's going to get harder and harder in our lifetime, to expose the fruitless deeds of darkness, but we're called on to do it. It's going to take courage, but we have to do it. So… Rise and Let Christ Shine On You! (vv. 14) Trust Jesus So finally, verse 14, "Therefore it says, Awake O sleeper, arise O sleeper, arise from the dead and Christ will shine on you." This is first and foremost a call to all of you who are unconverted. If there are any unconverted people, he is calling on you to wake up and rise up from the dead through faith in the Gospel. God sent His son who lived a sinless life and who died on the cross in the place of sinners like you and me so that our fruitless deeds of darkness will not condemn our souls, but rather, we can have forgiveness and eternal life. Trust in Jesus, crucified and resurrected, trust in Him and arise and wake up from your darkness and your dead life. Christians, Wake Up! But now, I want to say the same thing to you Christians, don't live like a non-Christian. Wake up. Wake up. I just sense a sleepiness sometimes in some Christians who are in this church or in Evangelical Christianity and I just feel like this text is just standing over us and saying, "Wake Up. The Night is nearly over. The day is almost here, it's coming close." I was having a conversation at breakfast, a couple of days ago, with a dear brother, and he was talking about the zeal of the cults. And they're out killing it. That means they are working hard in the name of a false Gospel and so are the Jihadists and the terrorists. They are fully alert in the name of a false God. We have the truth. And it's like, as Keith Green said years ago, like we're asleep in the light. This text is calling on us to wake up to the fact that our neighbors are dying in these sins and we're called on to expose the fruitless deeds of darkness. So let's be faithful. Let's wake up, and let's rise as from the dead and Christ will illuminate us every day. And let's live for the day and there's going to come a day when there'll be no more sun or moon or stars or lamp, but the glory of God will radiate the New Heavens and the New Earth. And there's going to be something that I can't fully understand but it's called "transparent gold". What is that, what is transparent gold? The streets are gold, but they are clear as crystal, and if the whole place is going to sparkle and radiate with the glory of God in Christ, let's live for the light of that New Heaven and New Earth, let's live lives of light. Now, close with me in prayer. Prayer Father, we thank you for the magnificence of this text, we thank you for all the things you've called on us to do and to be. Oh God, I pray no one would leave here unconverted. No one would leave here sleepy, or in some kind of pattern of sin. And I ask for my brother and sister Christians O Lord, that we would be faithful to bring forth fruit and keeping with repentance and the fruit of the light that “consists in all goodness, all righteousness, all truth.” We pray these things in Jesus's name. Amen.

It looks you are here for 'all this' all this form..but when you begin to awaken you will be taking out the form ...out of how you move and relate. You will be learning how to digest forms that you created and ingest them back through your heart, back into what you are. You will be learning to dissolve form and bring more formlessness of What You Are in the Deep into integration in the self, through this person . Often when this happens you will be feeling a discomfort at the level of your self and person. Levels of you that are to be brought into what you are realising - first though your dissolving into That that is deeper than your self-experience, back into your Being and through your growing ability to form the formlessness in all of your relatedness. Right the way through into your humanness expressed through a person that will be trans-formed ..So that what comes through you is What You Are - all the way! Anybody listening to you have the opportunity to meet you where you are coming from and actually meet you where You are coming from , transcending all forms of relationship , which makes all forms of relationship enlightened. Life is never so good as the moment when we are challenged by 'More than what we know'. Somehow when we are challenged by 'More than what we know', 'More than your self experience', we are enabled to dive deeper ...into a deeper calling of having life and realising What we Are ..and it has no end. So I am very clear that the body that we seem to have is actually put together in the moment .. Current science is transcending the idea that the body is created in time. The body is created in Presence by Awareness Being what IT is and THEN Awareness that moves into time and identifies with space time as particular likes and dislikes holds on to the body: cells of remembrance of a past that belongs to someone that doesn't actually exist. Many people playing the same game of holding on to patterns related to a dream of past relatedness... when in Truth all relatedness is the relationship between 'What You Are' - 'Who You Are' - the very nature of Consciousness Itself, which where I come from is LOVE... ...and when I say 'where I come from' I am speaking of 'the I that is listening Now'.

In the manner of Truth there is not much for you to hold onto as a self ..is there ? There is not much for you to hold onto as a person ..is there ? Well it's exactly the same as death isn't it though! Nothing knowable to hold onto !! You don't need blind faith to move as What You Are . No ! You need awakened Faith! Faith that does really know and believe that you do not pass away; that you are so much more than any experience you have ever put together in trying to be repetitive about that experience because it touched you somewhere ..that you found familiar. And yet there is no familiarity in What You Are. What You Are moves and literally the Cosmos happens . What You Are moves and an aspect of the Comsos opens up as a body.... STOCKHOLM 050416 Full Session Recordings of B's Satsangs are available here: : http://bprior.org/recordings/

Whatever you believe in will have your body - you will embody whatever you believe in . No matter how terrible it is or how Divine it is . You will embody what you believe in . Believe in What You Are and What You Are will realise! then your belief will be directly known in your own Real Experience . A Greater Reality will reveal itself than just sense perception. Believe in Who You Are. One man said : "Believe in me for I will set you free " You can get your finger ( toward yourself ) and say " Believe in me for I will set you free" for that is where it is. It wasn't someone outside of you. He was pointing to your own Authentic Beingness. The Me being the embodiment of That; the I being the super-intelligence of That and the Knower being the profound Awareness that is knowing That. But you WILL go through the undoing of how you put your self together . Don't avoid that! Just respond to the deeper opening..and watch the Goldenness take place. So you can say I was experiencing heartbreak and still identifying it through your self - or you can say : I was in total heartbreak ! So all beings an be free!! Am I just mad ? Any heart that can break is obviously not real. What You Are is unbreakable in the Deep - so then what breaks reveals a deeper place of loving and Being ..so let it break!!

Notice that when we're dancing 'The Form'*, it is quite tangible where you go to. It is not a 'thingy place' it is a moving Living Presence of Essence. An essence of what? An essence is OF something..An essence is not IT.. it is an essence, but is is the beginning of what you are drawn to, an essence that leads you to What You Are. So when we dance The Form it becomes very tangible the Presence of the Essence of YOU and the levels of What You Are - it is very tangible in the dance. Because in the dance you are MOVING What You Are and it is having levels of formless form - all the way to formed levels as your body. You are moving What You Are; YOU as Awareness-Knowing ..and Awareness-Knowing can actually go into what it is moving and bring it here. The Mother spoke about that in some of her work on the boards yesterday, where she is opening doors to bring It down. You have to open those doors and bring it here. You can't as a someone...only as Awareness -Knowing .Your Beingness being What You are - you can bring it down and introduce it to the levels of your self until All that you are is One with what You are bringing in.. * (The Form Reality Practice) The Form Reality Practice is the living transmission of the ever evolving universal dance of Life. It is a profound vehicle of awakening and transformation that originated through B Prior. D3S1 India SHORT

Q: So there is no control here ? B :No, there is the Presence of a Beingness that you are actually merging into and moving as. Look at it like this : On the surface you are moving things. On the surface you have a mental functionality - well YOU are moving that mental functionality. You have an emotional functionality and YOU are moving that functionality. You also have a psychic functionality that you don't even know about . All these abilities of movements that you are moving. You clearly have the ability to move form, but what you don't fully know is that you have the ability to create it and dissolve it and recreate it. You have the ability to move as WHAT YOU ARE in a WHO YOU ARE and form new life. You have this ability. Externally your ability is to move 'things'. That is a lesser ability of the same deepening ability. You are able to move more than just things . You are able to move no- things into shapes of things that maintain the resonance of What you are in the Deep. Giving form to That...Then the forms you create are beacons of what you are. Whatever you do then is a Beacon of what you are, a presence that is radiating a new vibration wherever it is placed. It doesn't matter what it is . You speak one word of Truth anywhere and that place is infused with the Truth of your Being . You create anything from a deeper realm of your Being and it has form. More than just a word or a thought, let's say a 'thing', a solid form you create then is a beacon that sings the presence of another realm of YOU. It all builds a New Consciousness for humanity to move by and deepen into. Whilst we only know our selves as being what we are we stay in a loop of self-consideration, pain and anxiety. Limitation. When we let go of that. Completely let go of that ..although the letting go of this is not felt as anything that is pleasant whilst you as Awareness have been wanting feelings to demonstrate what you are for a polarity. So some people's feeling good is different to other people's feeling good but really beyond that polarity there is only One Good. So then the emptying out of those levels of old form will take place. You can take care of those levels and raise them to where you are now coming from ..and often those levels are not just a demonstration of thoughts or feelings or Knowing inside . they are also relationships . They are the relatedness ofg how That is able to commune and communicate a level of You that is now ....crrrrrrrrrrrr( background noise) doing that! Then you are bringing in levels of Being that move entirely different than the vast majority of people on the planet. You are inviting beings on this planet to move in a greater purity of their own Being . A new possibility can arise through YOU being that gate - YOU Being that door. Not because you must do it, but simply because you are awakening to that is what you are! That level of Being that is coming in is coming in anyway, despite what you are doing ..and changing this world.

WE CAN CRY, WE CAN MARCH, WE CAN DO THE 'DIE INS'... WHEN ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE.. WHAT YOU ARE.. WHAT YOU HAVE AS PURPOSE?   MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE.. RIGHT DOWN TO WHAT YOU ARE...     IF YOU DONT DEAL WITH THE TRUTH... YOU WILL LIVE AN EXPERIENCE OF LIE..  

Title: The Warmth of What You Are.    Date: February 17, 2014 Evening - Edmonton, Canada Meeting.    Quote: You’re able to be warmed within, in the midst of anything. That warmth is real you.      www.johnderuiter.com

If you were asked to make a list of your most important assets in life, would you be on the list? This viewpoint is what separates those who are successful in all areas of their lives and those who are not. The key to becoming the person you were always meant to be lies in re-covering a viewpoint that can serve to create a personal anchor in all that you do. To also compassionately look at your life as it is right now and honestly evaluate whether your beliefs are supporting or hindering your journey. When you improve the quality of your belief and your acceptance of Who You Are, What You Are, and How You Are...the world becomes your personal playground for easily creating extraordinary Health, Happiness, Creativity, and real Financial Security. Join us for an incredible look at how shifting your viewpoint can put your dreams on the fast-track.
