God as Reality
Reality is All the God there Is
“If we will awaken to the Truth, then this world or manifest life is inherently transcended. We need not account for it in any complex, philosophical way if we simply Awaken to the Truth, if we will simply observe the mechanics of our participation in karmic existence and Realize What is prior to it.
In that Condition, in the state of the Adept, it becomes clear how exactly the cosmos itself comes into being. The process of manifestation is tacitly obvious in the Awakened state. The appearing world is simply mind. It is nothing but mind, nothing at all but thought, nothing at all but a modification of Consciousness. This present moment is not a play of material forces in which Consciousness is somehow a secondary event. This moment is Consciousness. Mind is built upon Consciousness, and objects, elements, materiality, and cosmic form all precipitate from or in mind.
The simple Truth is that people do not realize that the universe is arising as Consciousness. They think that Consciousness is somehow inside themselves or inside the universe, that it is a small point of awareness within matter. They think the universe somehow stands in a great material space. They cannot account for the universe, they cannot account for themselves. They do not realize the seniority of Consciousness and the mechanical nature of mind, and they do not account for the universe on the basis of mind.
There are taboos against accounting for things in this way. These taboos are created by the karmic collective of humanity, which does not want attention to resort to its Root-Source or Condition, but rather wants to keep attention present in the mechanics of Nature so as to keep life in-order and keep it reproducing itself. To support these taboos, God-ideas are created: "God is creating this world," "God is in charge of this world," "God wants us all to be born," "God wants us all to live," God wants us to be limited or egoic beings, at least for now." All of these God ideas are produced by the ego to account for egoic suffering.
The un-illumined God-traditions conceive of God as Creator, but the high God-traditions conceive of God as Reality. Only those traditions that most directly emanate from the Adepts see God as Reality rather then merely as the Creator. To see God as Reality you must understand the karmic nature of manifestation and not make it so holy that it cannot be inspected and transcended. People are suffering from this holy egoity, in which the world is holy in its own right, in which Nature is holy, necessary, God-made, God-chosen. Therefore, such people are not Realizing God, and they are not moving beyond the lower stages of life“.

Force of Being
Absolute Bliss
“Most people hardly even feel the great Force of Being that pervades this Universe. If you could Locate It, you would Locate Absolute Bliss. It would make you into a mystic Siddha, just as It has made me. Since endless time, I have always been Blissful. I have always received the Divine Spirit. I have always loved It. I have no resistance to God. But you do. And I am trying to Teach you out of that resistance, the mechanism that shuts down the openness to the sublime Force of God. It is the only thing in you that is making you un-Happy. It is not the fact that you are born and living as a human being, that makes you un-Happy, but just this simple activity of self-contraction that is reflected throughout your body-mind.
Thus, the first form of my manifestation to you is this understanding, this consideration, this Argument relative to the knot, the effort, the mechanism of withdrawal, the self contraction. And you must become responsible for this self contraction. Otherwise it makes no difference how much I give you of the Intoxicating Force of God. It makes no difference how much of It I am. Until you are responsible for the mechanism of separation from the Spirit-Presence, you cannot taste It, you cannot love It, you cannot know It, you cannot be swooned by It. And we should exist in a swoon of Intoxication. To do this really is our nature“.

What Is to Be Realized?
God is Alive as Everyone and Everything
“Only God is Alive as everyone and everything. All beings and things and worlds are arising as spontaneous transformations and modifications of That One. God eternally Transcends the world and all beings and yet the world and all beings are nothing but God. Is is a Great and Passionate Mystery.
The individual being, manifest as the body-mind, is only a transformation or modification of the Radiant Transcendental Being or Divine Person. Wherever or whenever there is a psycho-physical being, the Radiant Transcendental Being is conscious as that limitation and feels Itself to be a particular being.
There is no internal self or soul within and independent of the body-mind. The individual body-mind is a modification or Play upon the Infinite, All-Pervading, Transcendental Being. The body-mind itself, in its contraction or recoil from the universal pattern of relations, suggests or implies the subjective internal self or independent soul idea. And once the body-mind or self pattern arises, it tends to persist, as a process of transformation, lifetime after lifetime, until there is Awakening to the Truth, or Translation into the Divine Domain -- the Condition of Radiant Transcendental Bliss.
As the being adapts and evolves and achieves Ecstasy in the Divine, it Realizes its eternal inherence in That One and, ultimately, its Identity as That One. Such is Enlightenment, Liberation, Salvation, or That which is to be Realized, is not a form of "status" or egoic achievement in this world, the after-death world, or the next lifetime, but it is the Condition of Love and Happiness, which transcends the body-mind, its experiences, its relations, and the world, even as the world continues. This is my Testimony and Confession. And it is the same testimony and Confession proclaimed by all the Free Adepts who have appeared to serve mankind on Earth“.
