`The Deep Pool Of Our Being' by Joel S Goldsmith
"Now, this, you see, separates us from any sense of reaching out to a God
somewhere. It prevents us from fearing powers out there somewhere. `Nothing
that defileth can enter to make a lie.' Doesn't make any difference whether
it's something physical, mental, moral, financial. Nothing can in any wise
enter. Enter what? God- Consciousness, which is my individual being.
So that it centers all attention on the kingdom of God within ourselves, and it
removes from us all fear. There's nothing within us that we have to fear, since
the kingdom of God is within us. There's nothing without that we have to fear
because, even in hell, this same divine consciousness or God is our healing
influence, protective influence, sustaining, maintaining influence.
Oh, we use terms like `protective', `healing'. They are not literally true
since in this realization there would be nothing to be healed of, and nothing
to be protected from. At most we would be protected from the erroneous belief
that we were human beings set off by ourselves, and some way out of contact
with God.
We can't be out of contact with the infinite nature of our own being. We all
agree that God is infinite power of good, but then we fail to agree that God is
our own being. Therefore, the infinite nature of God's being is the infinite
nature of our own individual being.
Now, this is absolute truth. This is complete truth. This is the real truth of
the universe. This is the truth that the saints and sages of all ages have
tried to reveal to human consciousness. And one thing has prevented the whole
world accepting and, by now, living this consciousness. And that is this point.
~Joel
Ps 139:7-10
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold,
thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the
sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
(All that God is, I am. There can be no sense of separation, because there is
no separation from us and our within... "I" and My father are One. ~Al)

THE DAILY LESSON – September 3, 2011
From the 1955 Kailua Study Group Series –
`The Deep Pool Of Our Being' by Joel S Goldsmith
"Now, when you understand that God is that `I', then you will understand that
God, the infinite intelligence of this universe, is your individual mind, life,
soul, being, spirit, truth, consciousness.
The importance of that must be clear. Because it is now revealed that, `No
longer shall you worship in a holy mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, that holy
city, that holy temple,' but in Spirit, in truth. Right where you are there is
the kingdom of God, right within you. No need to go some place; no need to seek
a holy place, or a holy man or a holy woman. `The place whereon thou standest is
holy ground.'
There is no place where you can escape from the arms of God, the consciousness
of God. The `everlasting arms' it's called. The rock, the fortress, the high
tower - all of this is where you are, where I am. Where I am is my high tower,
my fortress, my abiding place, my heaven." ~Joel
Luke 17:20,21
20 ¶ And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of
God is within you.
(The Presence of God is not here one moment and gone somewhere to help somebody
else the next or busy. We are never tested or judged or left to lack by God –
this is a perception created by man to try to explain why God does not "seem" to
be with us all the time. He does not come to US at a moment in meditation when
we think not… The Omnipresence is here (within) NOW AND ALWAYS. Remember what
God said to Moses at the burning bush? It is our awareness of what already IS
that seems to increase and decrease… ~Al)

MESSAGES FROM THE ANGE
Life is meant to be a dance of love and cooperation, dear ones, not a dance of
adversity. Your Mother Earth, even with her rumblings and storms is not "out to
get you" but rather she is simply stretching and releasing tensions. And when
she does so, she inadvertently causes her children to come together and realize
what is of the utmost importance, namely one another.
Life is a precious gift. It is in turbulent times that you realize this. It is
in times of movement upon your earth that you realize that this precious life
is not to be wasted or squandered in upset and survival. Life is meant to be
lived. With each breath you have an opportunity to look around and see the
miracles of life. With each breath you have an opportunity to be grateful for
life and all you do have. With each breath, you have the opportunity to check
in with your heart and say, "What's next?" "What is calling me now?" "Where is
my joy in this next moment." And while we in the heavens know it is not
realistic to think you would live that way all the time, if you were able to do
so, you would exist very much like the creatures on your planet who do not
worry about tomorrow, or even the next moment. They simply follow their
instincts and respond to the influences around them, trusting all is well. The
trees do not worry about losing their leaves in the fall, nor budding in the
spring. They simply exist in response to the cues inside and around them. If
you could exist this way,dear ones, you too would live in cooperation with one
another and the universe around you.
Time is wasted in wishful thinking. When something is one way and you wish it
to be another, that is fine to envision and create a new reality, but don't
waste time being upset about what is in front of you right now. You want the
weather to be clear, but a storm is coming. Get ready then, and look forward to
the calm after the storm. You want a person to be one way but they are not.
Deal with them as they are. Love them as they are. And then love yourself
enough to know if you want to spend time around them... as they are, and as you
are. In this fashion, you move through life with greater ease. You are not
resisting what IS right now. You can, by all means, envision happier futures!
We want you to envision happier futures! But you will get to these states of
joy more easily if you stop resisting what is right in front of you right now,
deal with life as it IS now, and then take the next step in your life that
calls unto your hearts.
There will continue to be much movement upon your planet earth both externally
and internally in the next several months. You will feel motivated to get going
on the things you want for your lives. Do you want more peace? Take time to
find it a little bit each day. Do you want more money? Take time to see how
you might change your gifts and talents into a little job on the side. Do you
want love? How can you be more loving and do the things you love right now, as
your life is? Do you want to be healthier? What small steps can you take? A
major life change begins with a change of attitude and one small step at a
time. The time to start taking these steps is now dear ones. Life is precious
and too short to waste in resistance to your own hearts.
God bless you! We love you so very much.
-- The Angels
