God Is Known By Experience Or Not At All

God is known by experience, or not at all. I have experienced God. I can no more deny it than I can the humblest evidence my senses. and so I feel qualified to tell you how you are going to experience God, there is only God in the world; when you say I am, that's God forever and forever. Tonight you will know why the term Judeo- Christian came to be hyphenated.

The story as told in the Old Testament is a prophetic blueprint; that which is told in the New is its fulfillment. There are really two parts of one book. The prophecy and its fulfillment. God became as we are that we may be as he is. Every little child born of woman is aware that it is before it is aware of what it is, who it is, where it is; it is aware that it is. That's fundamental. The middle: that is God in that child. It's the same God in the adult. It is the dreamer in man. It has to be awakened. And when it awakens, it is the being in whom it awakens, until he knows who he is.

We are told in Scripture that the hour is coming when all of those who are in the tomb will hear his voice and come forth. They hear the voice of the Son; it's called the voice of the child; and the voice of the child, like a tuning fork, sets the tone; and then the dreamer awakes, and knows that he is God. It's entirely up to the voice of the son: when the time had fully come, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Father! He is crying, Father! but we do not hear it, not until the fullness of time has come. So we are told in the 44th Psalm, 'Rouse thyself; why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake!' It is God who sleeps in man; it is God in man who does everything that man does, good, bad, or indifferent. He actually became as I am, that's his name, that I may be as he is; and he is Father.

The day is coming, coming. Everyone will know the experience that I have had, for there is no other experience in eternity that can convince you that you are God the Father other than this experience. His Son must call you, and you must respond, and when you actually hear it, and then look and see what is calling; and it is your son David; then everything returns; memory returns, and you know exactly who you are: that you are God the Father, and your son is David. This secret is told us in Scripture in the words: 'Jesus Christ' and 'And' -- you take it as one being. One being only if you know that 'I and my Father are one.' But if you do not know that, here you find two beings. Jesus is 'I am.' That's the Lord. No one can say that 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is called the Remembrancer: 'I will go, and I will send the Holy Spirit, who will bring to your understanding all that you have heard from me.' So he brings back the memory that you lost.

So no one can say that 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit. So when the Spirit comes and memory returns, but you'll never know that you really are until you hear the voice of your own son. For you are suffering from complete and total amnesia. You do not know that you are God the Father. And you will never know it until you hear the son's voice. He is calling and calling, but only when the moment is right will you hear it. and just as we have told you like the tuning fork it sets the tone and it wakes you and you hear it and when you awake standing before you is your son and memory returns the remembrance of the Holy Spirit and then you know exactly who you are and you are God the Father it's going to happen to every child born a woman and therefore every child born of woman is one with the speaker who has had that experience because of the identical son who is calling him father and there is only one God one father of all and only one son so when he calls you father and you know it because memory returns and he has called me father and I know it then you and I are one.

So there's only one body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, through all and in all. That's the mystery of scripture. Has nothing to do with ¶With secular history, it is all salvation history. Not a thing to do with history as the world teaches it. You and I are experienced in history, secular history. And my history is known to anyone who wants to investigate it. I wouldn't say it's anything to write about. Born in a simple little environment, without any educational, social, financial background whatsoever. whatsoever. I'm making a struggle like all people make a struggle in the world to pay rent and to buy food and then to put their garments and the body.

That's a struggle for everyone. They seem to have no time for the Spirit. ¶But the day is coming all will have this experience regardless of the struggle. And no one will be greater than the other because everyone is the same God the Father. ¶The Father of the one and only Son who is daily. So you'll know why we hyphenate the name Judeo -Christian. ¶Here is the foundation and Christianity is its fulfillment. That is the fruit on the tree. That's the flower. Without that tree it couldn't bear the fruit. So the whole thing is contained in that Old Testament, but is adumbrated. It's a foreshadowing in a not altogether conclusive or immediately evident way. ¶When it happens, it's not what the world thought should happen.

They're expecting some being to come from without and save them, and he doesn't come that way. He comes to us as one unknown, yet one who in the most ineffable mystery lets the individual to whom he comes experience who he is and you will never experience who he is until he awakes by the voice of his son who is calling him rouse thyself why sleepest thou O Lord awake do not cast us off forever as you read it in the 44th Psalm, the 23rd verse. ¶So as we're told in the 5th chapter of John, And the hour is coming when all those who are in the tomb will hear his voice, the Son's voice, and come forth.

And the tomb is your own wonderful skull. You're not buried in any cemetery in this world. ¶Let them build all the great mausoleums that they want. That's man. It's big business. Let them do it. Let them build it. But you are buried in your skull. That's where God is buried. And out of that dark, dark, he will rise. And he will rise while you walk the earth. You will sleep this night. Without knowing, you will be awakened by the call of that voice. The voice is a vibration, it is a sound, and so daily will sound the call, it will be in tune with you if the hour is right, and then you will awake to find yourself completely in tune within your own skull, and without any assistance from without, you will push the base of your skull and come out just like a child being born from the womb of woman, only this is now being born from above, not from below.

When you come out, all the symbolism of the picture will surround you: the witnesses will be there; they are three, and the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, which is only the sign of your exit from that heavenly womb. You are born from above. And then, from then you go to another scene, another scene, over a period of three and a half years. And your journey is then completed. You remain in this world long enough to tell of your experience, to tell of your own experience of God. And until God is experienced, you do not know him. Let all the teachers do what they want. It's perfectly all right. They are summed to sleep because God in them is summed to sleep.

And they are speculating. They are theorizing based upon what they believe God ought to do. He should punish this one and punish that one. And they do not know. Everyone punished is God being punished for his dream. He is dreaming. The dream of life. And many dreams are like nightmares. Whether they be waking dreams or the dream of sleep, they are nightmares. But nevertheless, it's still God dreaming. Who is dreaming when he wakes in the morning? He will say, well, I had a dream. You had a dream? A horrible dream. I was, and then he begins to describe it. Well, what is he saying? He is calling by the name of God. It was God who had the dream.

When he wakes, I'm going to do so and so. Who is that saying I am going to do so and so? That's God. There's nothing but God in the world. There's no room for anyone in the world but God and his only begotten son. And his son is David. That's his son. Jesus is the Lord God Jehovah. And David in the spirit called him my Lord. That's the son calling him my Lord. Here is Jesus of Scripture, the awakened God. He's not asleep. Here is the one who first awoke in the world. But then he called his brothers. He said, go unto my brothers and tell them I am ascending unto my Father. But he said, I and my Father are one.

Unto my God. But he also said, my Father is your Father. My God is your God and I and my Father is one. And my Father is he whom you call God. So here the mystery begins to unfold until you actually experience it. You do not know how wonderful Scripture is. Man must experience Scripture before he can begin to understand how. How altogether wonderful it is. It's eternally true. From beginning to end. The whole thing is true. And it is not secular history. It's divine history. For I share with you. What I know from experience. I am not theorizing. I am not speculating. It happened to me. A sinful man. As you are sinful. And I did not.

But for one moment's respect, this was the mystery until it actually unfolded within me and I experienced it. And when someone who supposedly lived 3,000 years ago calls me father, and I know exactly that I am his father, there was no uncertainty as to this relationship. I'm looking into the face of the most heavenly youth, and he was the one who called me from my profound sleep. And when I woke, it was God who woke. For he is calling upon the Lord to awake. Rouse thyself. Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake. And then you wake as though you had never before been awake. It's a peculiar, strange wake that takes place within you. And now you see this heavenly, eternal being who is the Son of God.

But because he is going to awake you and you will know he is your son, you will know that you are God. So in the end, everyone will awake and everyone will be God. So it takes all of us to make the Lord. It's a compound unity. The word Elohim. It is a plural word. In the beginning, God. That word is Elohim. And God said, let us make man in our image. That word is Elohim. A compound unity. One made up of others. Takes all of us to make the one God. Hear, O Israel: The Lord, our God, the Lord is one. Not you. So here, the only one who could ever arouse you and actually brings you from your profound sleep is your son whose name is David.

So I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said unto me, thou art my son. Today I have begotten thee. And so we have confused it with Jesus and Jesus is the Lord. He is the Lord speaking. He is the Lord who inspired the prophets to write what they did. And finding no one to fulfill it, he himself came into the world and became man. He became you. His name is I Am. That's the Lord God Jehovah that we call Jesus in Scripture. That's I Am. Do you not realize, said Paul, that Jesus Christ is in you? Don't you know that he is in you? Are you looking for him to come from without when he is within you?

Well, he is within. You can't say I am and point elsewhere. Whether you've been a heightful dream, you're aware. To be aware is saying I am. And you can't point on the outside of self when you say I am. And that is my name forever and forever forever. And that is the Lord Jesus in every being in the world. But his son plays such an important part. That son called David. You say he is the son of Jesse. And Jesse means I am. The word Jesse means Jehovah exists. It is any form of the verb to be. In other words, I am. That is the father of David. And when I tell you I am telling you from experience, I am not the scholar who simply went through scripture and counted it to bring forward this theory.

It's not theory of me. I'm not qualified to go through the scriptures, knowing Greek and knowing Latin and knowing Aramaic to do that. It happened to me. It was all by revelation. So let the scholars go on and try to find it. ¶2408|You may say... Let them go on until it's revealed to them— they do not know it. Revealed truth cannot be actually legally or I would say logically proven. It's all revealed. If it isn't revealed, well then speculate, and I am not speculating. I am telling you exactly who God is, and until you experience God, you do not know him. But I am telling you from my own experience: you will experience God, and then you will know him, and you will know why we hyphenate the word Judeo -Christian.

It's one tree. The tree is Judaism. The fruit is Christianity. The flower is Christianity. Christianity is simply the fulfillment of Judaism. So here he tells you, "I will not leave you death. I will come again." And then he becomes invisible. The story is told in the pre -existence, before that the world was. And here, he becomes invisible because he takes up his residence in us. And the darkest hour in the world, symbolized in scripture as the three hours of darkness that descended. No, the darkest hour is when God became invisible. As he became invisible, he took up his residence in us. And man is looking for him to come from without. And he cannot come from without.

He will rise from within, only at the call of his son's voice. So, in the fullness of time, he sent forth the spirit of his son into our heart, crying what? Father. And if you hear it, well then you respond. Responding is waking. And you begin to awake within yourself. To find yourself entombed within your own skull. Completely sealed. But you have an innate wisdom. You know exactly what to do. For he prepared the way before. He set forth. And you know exactly what to do. And you push the base of your skull. It gives, and then you come out, and the symbolism surrounds you, and you're exactly who you are, but not quite until the sun appears— at first only the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and you're told in scripture that is only a sign— like the sign on the top of the White House: I ask the guard, "Is the president in residence?"

and he looks, and if his insignia is flying, he will say, "Yes, he is in residence." If it's not flying, the president is not in residence. If the little child is found wrapped in swaddling clothes, then I ask, "Is God born?" "Yes, here is his sign." And "This shall be a sign unto you: you shall find a child wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying on the floor." When that sign is found, the question asked is, "Is God born?" "Yes, here is the sign of his birth." But when the child comes— not the little infant— when the son comes, then you hear his voice, and the voice is the voice of God's son, who is Christ.

Christ is the Son of God, and "the anointed" means Christ, and "Christ" means "the anointed." And did he not say in the 89th Psalm, "I have anointed you with my holy oil"? Well, who is he speaking to? He is speaking to David. Did he not say in the 89th Psalm, "I have found David, and David has cried unto me, 'Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation'?" Did he not say in the seventh Psalm, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee"? And all these words were inspired by the one being who we call Jesus the Lord. He inspired it through his prophet, and then himself came down and took upon himself humanity.

He is Is buried not in a little man. He is buried in humanity. ¶I'm speaking of the cosmic God. Of the cosmic son. So he is buried in every child born of woman. But this is so unique. He comes to us individually. He calls us one by one. In season. So tonight could be your call. Maybe tomorrow night. I hope it is not in the distant future but you will call all and when you take off this garment having been called and having seen the sun you have taken it off for the last time until it actually happens to you death is not death death is nothing more than simply leaving a room entering another room simply like the room you left the same terrestrial world with all the struggle that you left behind you you find them there you're restored to life not as a baby no reincarnation you're restored a young man, a young woman not a thing missing no need of anything to be added because not a thing is missing only you're young, about 20 years of age to continue your journey in this world to be confronted with all the problems that are here yes, and you marry there too you marry and you grow old and you die there too.

¶And if it hasn't yet happened, you are restored again to continue the journey until it happens. But it's going to happen to every being in the world. Not one can fail because God would fail. And that's impossible. So everyone will awaken from the dream of life. ¶And it doesn't end at that moment in time when our senses cease to register that being and we speak of him as dead. He is not dead. He is in a world just like this. Restored to life. In a world that is terrestrial. In a young, wholesome, healthy body. With all the problems that face it. Because in the resurrection of which I speak there is no marriage, no male, no female, are completely transformed beings who is God.

But until then, there is still sex. Very much so, in that world. But I'm telling you what I know. I see them, my father, my mother, my brother, so many friends who are gone and they aren't gone at all. In a world just like this, with all their struggles. ¶Therefore I ask you to live so that your mind can store a past worthy of recall for you're taking that with you spend all of your time entertaining noble thoughts for you're taking that with you into the world where you're headed unless this thing happens before you make your departure from this world if it does not happen before that you're taking with you what you've actually entertained in this world.

So live so that your mind can tour a path worthy of recall. Because you're going to actually take it right into your world to resolve it. And that is part of your struggle. But the day is coming. ¶Everyone is going to have the experience that I have just told you. No one can avoid it. If others have other ideas, let them have it. I wouldn't raise a finger to change it. If all these isn't in the world, let them have it. All kinds of concepts of what God ought to have done. What God ought to have done, he has already done. ¶The drama is over. The resurrection is taking place. It didn't take place once and forever, 2 ,000 years ago.

go. It is taking place at every moment of time. But not everyone is articulate. Not everyone is sent to tell it after it takes place. And so they will go to their little exit from this world, not having told it to anyone. On the other hand, I was not restrained. I had to tell it, like Jeremiah. If I say I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in me, as it were, a burning fire, all shut up in my bones, and I am tired of holding it in, and I cannot. So I cannot retain the impulse to talk about it. Others can. They are embarrassed even to bring it up, but I am not.

It's part of my way of being, of thinking. So I tell you the voice spoken of is a real voice for like all voices you are now interpreting the vibration that is coming from my mouth it's all vibration and then you actually translate it within yourself because it's simply impinging upon you for this is the same voice it's just like the tuning fork and then it sets a tone and the tone arises you if you are in tune with that tone. And then you're actually hearing him calling, and he is calling you father. And you awake to find standing before you this heavenly youth. And then at that very moment you're exactly who he is, and he is David.

The sweet son, David. And he is your son, and And you know it, your son. Memory has returned. So God became as we are. That we may be as he is. Don't for one moment forget that. That's the great sacrifice. It was God who died. Unless I die, thou canst not live. But if I die, I shall arise again. And thou with me. So it is God who is crucified on these garments. And the God in you, his name is I Am. And when you hear the voice and you awake, who awakes? I awake. Who is waking? I am waking. What's his name? I Am. Forever and forever. And who is his son's name? I am telling you his son's name is David but because he has been anointed by the holy oil he is the Christ, thou art the Christ, the son of the living God.

In the Old Testament the word Christ is not used, but the word Messiah is. He is the Messiah, for the Messiah simply means the anointed one, and the Messiah is used only in the book of John, so he does speak of the Christ as the Messiah, and it is not Jesus; Jesus is the Lord, yet the son could say I and my father are one, so when you see me you see the father; he is the image of the father. If you are told he does not yet appear, what we shall be. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him. Now I'm telling you, that's exactly what's going to happen. Forget the mask that you're now wearing.

Behind that mask is the Ancient of Days, the Eternal One, who is the Lord God Jehovah. And David is the image of the Lord God Jehovah. He is the eternal you and the Lord is the ancient of days, without beginning, without end. So when you dwell tonight on it, treat it seriously. What I have told you this night is true. I haven't speculated. I haven't turned to any for support. I was never taught it. It's in the Bible, but I never saw it in the Bible until I experienced it. That's why I could tell you until God is experienced, you do not know God. One must experience God to know him. And he's not deaf.

You don't have to scream to have him hear you. You need not utter anything. Your simple thought is heard because who is hearing it? I am. that's God so when they have all these prayers let us pray and they put on all these microphones and just blast the whole thing out calling upon God to hear them forget it, that's not God God is within you and the God, the only living God is your own wonderful human imagination when you say I am that's God and by him all things were made and without him was not anything made that was made in his dream naturally he makes mistakes he said God makes mistakes there is only one that can make a mistake and that's God there is only one that can make anything and that's God for in a nightmare well can you blame the man if he had a horrible nightmare You would console him in the morning if he told you of some horrible dream.

You wouldn't condemn him. Well now this is a waking dream. It's still a dream. So in the end everything is forgiven. Every being in the world is forgiven. For there's only God who did it all. So the story is the father and his son. and there is no other being in the world, and you are the Father, and his son is your son. And if he could say, I am my father, or one, then he can say of you, I am my father, or one. And when you look into his face and you see that beauty, you cannot describe the beauty of David. No artist could paint him. He is the image of you that no one knows.

They only know the mask that you wear. So he is the image of the invisible you. And he bears the expressed image of your person. But your person is not the thing that you wear as a mask. You are the immortal being. You are the eternal being. when you hear it and you really believe it you will see why this book of 66 books is really a library when you have a Bible both old and new under one cover you have a library very few homes have 66 books in them if they have a library they have 66 books and they have the greatest library in the world in having the Bible. And one is the old, the other is the new.

One foreshadows, and the other tells you how it's fulfilled. But even though it's fulfilled, it still remains a mystery to those who have not experienced it. So I tell you, he comes to us as one unknown. Yet one who in the most wonderful manner lets you experience who he is. And when you experience who he is, it's yourself. That is God. God has sacrificed. He literally became as I am, that I may be as he is. And that is true of every child born a woman. Now if you enjoy other things, enjoy them, but you will not in eternity undo what I have told you. Not in eternity would you disprove it, may I tell you?

All the wisdom of the world cannot disprove what I have told you tonight. You may rise in opposition, and I wouldn't bat an eye to To argue with him. For I know what I have done for him. So let them argue. I will not argue with you. Satan said he was silent. So you will not speak to me. Why argue? The point. So you are a king. The world said so. It's the father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom. Well if he's going to give me the kingdom. He's going to give me himself. for he is the kingdom. Read it in the 12th chapter of Luke, the 32nd verse. It is your father's good pleasure to give you.

You don't earn it. It's unmerited. It's great to give you the kingdom. And when he succeeds in giving me the kingdom, he succeeds it in giving me himself, for he is the kingdom. The kingdom is not a realm as the world teaches. It is God. The character that is God, that is perfect. So wherever you are clothed in that perfect character, everything is perfect. Everything is alive. Nothing is dead and nothing is imperfect. Wherever you are, after you receive the gift, You could walk through the petrified forest and they would all suddenly burst into blossom. Walk through the desert and the desert would bloom. Come into any place where they are in perfect form and eyes that are missing out of their pockets would come out of them nowhere and fill the empty sockets and they would be perfect.

Arms missing? No, not in your presence when you receive the kingdom. In the presence of you, the perfect man, nothing can remain imperfect. And you don't do it out of compassion. You don't even do anything. Your very presence does. So you, no matter where you are, go down into hell and hell is transformed into heaven. Wherever you are is perfect. Because you are now the king. You receive the kingdom. so I'm telling you from my own experience you walk into a world and the world is instantly transformed to be in harmony with the perfection that is springing within you so I tell you it is your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom that is a wonderful way of telling you it is your father's good pleasure to give you himself self.

That's how the evangelist told it in the book of Luke. It is your father's good pleasure to give you himself. And your father is God. And God is Jesus. Jesus is the Lord. There is no other God. But he's a father. Because he's a father, he has a son. And I I am telling you in spite of the whole vast world. That son is David. Our sweet salt. Of biblical fame. And he shall stand before you. And he too will call you. My Lord. My father. The rock of my salvation. Now let us go into the silence. Thank you. Good. Are there any questions? Yes. Any questions? Yes. Yes. In any of Blake's writings, can you tell whether or not he had received the promise?

As far as I'm concerned, meeting Blake as I have met him, in this wonderful, risen world, Blake had everything described in Scripture. When you meet him, he's one of the most majestic preachers that you could meet. Let me quote, speaking of tonight's lecture, It's taken from his book, Euryson. I think it's the seventh chapter. And the dead heard the voice of the child and began to awake from sleep. All things heard the voice of the child and began to awake to life. When God became man, he transformed death into sleep. God is infinite mercy and man is dead God in becoming man made man a living soul; he transformed death into sleep and then in the dream he transformed the being himself into himself and raises him as himself.

Oh, no. Blake had it, but you've got to read like all things and Blake read between the lines, because as he said to the Reverend who criticized him, the Reverend said to him, "You know, you need someone to elucidate your ideas." He said, "Is that so? You ought to know that which can be made explicit to the idiot isn't worth my care." That's what he was telling another wonderful doctor, Truslow. He said, "The ancients knew that what was not too explicit was fitter for instruction, because it arouses the faculties to act. Something that anyone can see, even the idiot, well, then it isn't worth my care." So he told it in the way he did, causing you to dig for it.

You have to dig for it. Blake, to me, is one of the giant spiritual giants of the world. I've had people say to me, "Why didn't he have money? Who wants money when you have what Blake had? All the money in the world today couldn't buy one single copy that is at Yale. He left behind him five copies of Jerusalem; only one he colored. It is now in Yale University under lock and key. When Blake sold it, I think he sold it for a hundred guineas. That would be equivalent to five hundred dollars, and Blake sold it. You couldn't buy that copy today no matter what sort of money you brought for it. You couldn't buy it.

It's the only copy in the world. He left five copies; copies, four were not colored. This is the only colored copy that Blake left behind him. It's price- less.
