Thy will be done
DELETED SESSION 1\9/78:
Christ dealt with myths, once again--potent ones that stood for inner
realities. Christ clothed those realities in colorful stories geared to
people's
understanding. I am using the name here, Christ, as one person for the
sake of
discussion, for that entity touched many lives, each leaping into a kind
of super-
reality as it joyfully played its part in the religious drama.
(Just as I was about to ask....)
The message was "Do not condemn yourself or others," for Christ well
knew that self-righteous condemnation of the self or of one's neighbors
served
to darken the door through which man might view his own potential and its
greater source.
The Christian concept of heaven with its riches, God and his bounty, the
source of nature itself--all of this in our terms was a symbolic
structure
describ-
ing storybook terms the attributes and characteristics of Framework 2.
In our terms, All That Is exists in Framework 2 as elsewhere, but
Framework 2 represents the source of your known physical reality. From it
flow
all of the known facts of your world. Christ hoped to show that you
survived
death psychically and spiritually--that you "returned" to the father in
heaven.
Literal minds, looking for evidential proof would insist that the
physical body
itself must rise, ascending, hence the related stories, the
misinterpretation of
data. ''Ask, and you shall receive." Christ well knew that that statement
was
indeed true, but men who condemned themselves, who considered themselves
sinners, would not know what to ask for, except punishment to relieve
their
guilt. Hence he stressed time and time again that each person was a child
of
God.
He also stressed the importance of a childlike belief, knowing that the
adult mind was apt to question "How, and when, and in what manner can my
request be granted?"
The words "Let thy will be done," represented excellent psychological
understanding, for according to Christ's teachings as originally given,
God
the father
represented the source or parent of the self, who was by nature free from
the self's ignorance or lack of understanding at any given time, and who
would
know better than the known self those experiences that would fulfill the
self's hopes,
dreams, and potentials.
In this way, with the words spoken "Let thy will be done," the self could
free itself from its own misconceptions, and attract from Framework 2
benefits
that it might otherwise not be knowledgeable enough to request. A portion
of
each person dwells in Framework 1 and Framework 2. Understand that
Framework 2 is a psychic or spiritual or mental structure. In deepest
terms, of
course, it is not a place. It is, if you prefer, a spiritual landscape of
far
greater
resources than the one you know. It brings forth the world of your
experience
in that world, and so it is your source also.
"Let thy will be done" meant "Let me follow those greater dictates of my
results.
inner nature." Even without all of the distortions, that formula worked
for cen-
turies in large measure. The God, the source, was put outside of nature,
however, finally becoming at last too remote, and the story itself became
frayed at the the
edges as man tried to tie intuitive truths to objective fact.
(10:06) Give us a moment.... To be a child of God was to trust in your
own worth. You could admit failings, transgressions of one kind or
another
without identifying yourself, say, with failure. The child of God would
auto-
matically find salvation, and everyone was a child of God. When Christ
said
"Believe in me, and you will be saved," he meant "Believe in your
relationship
to God, in that you are his son, as I am, and you will surely be saved."
Again,
he spoke in religious terms, for those were the terms of the times. This
know-
edge, however, of the innate goodness of the self literally gives
the individual the inner support necessary for the exercise of man's
fullest potentials.
In civil and governmental terms, such a policy could not be tolerated--
nor has man yet learned how to deal with that basic principal [sic]. It
is
almost auto-
matic, for example, to label a man a murderer, and identify him with his
crime.
The society never came to terms with the vast complications inherent with
Christ's teachings, and so it abandoned them. Man's great exuberant
spontane-
ity has never been allowed its full sweep as a result.
Do you want to rest your fingers?
('No.')
You both chafed against the belief of your times, that man was a natural
aggressor, tainted from birth, that he was damned by his very nature,
con-
demned by his early childhood background, by original sin, or by his
genes. At
the same time you were also tainted by those beliefs, and seemed to see
evidence
for them whenever you looked into your selves, or outward to the world of
your
fellows. Each person carried the brunt of that self-condemnation. Ruburt
is
hardly outstanding in having physical difficulties, and overall your
lives and the
work speak for more of the potential of personality than of personality's
lacks.
You set for yourselves a goal of shoving aside all of the beliefs and
distortions for yourselves and for others.
Now: you went beyond your family's beliefs individually, searching for
yourselves and trying various roads. You accomplished the quite difficult
feat, in certain terms, of finding each other, so that you each had a
mate who
would aid you in your pursuits--and you tried as best you knew to
encourage each
other.
You were still plagued by remnants of self-disapproval and
self-condemnation, however, yet the spontaneous self in each of you
managed to push here and
there
and blaze forth whenever you gave it a chance, with some quite
outstanding
results.
I always have to couch my material for you personally, just ahead
(emphat-
ically) of where you are at any given time. Overall, however, the main
thrust
of the
material of course has always been way ahead of where you are,
practically
speaking, at any given time.
In terms of your lives, you are able to use certain portions of the
material
at different times. No one could put it all into working order at once in
a
given life.
Ruburt then used and enjoyed his spontaneity, and has been developing it
along the lines of his understanding. It is not, as it may seem, that he
had
something of spontaneity and lost it.
(1U28.) Give us a moment.... Spontaneity knows its own order; and freely
comes into order. Years ago, before the psychic experience, he was not
for
example psychically spontaneous to any great degree. He used his writing
to hold
back and yet contain his innate psychic knowledge. He disapproved of his
own
dancing, sometimes even of his sexual yearnings. Now those disapprovals
sim-
ply piled up, with resulting physical difficulties. He would through the
years begin to approve of spontaneity in one more area--spontaneity in
class, for
example--or with Sumari poetry, or in finally approving his own psychic
writ-
ings. The disapproval was still present, however; yet now and then
through
the years would come a period of release, of sudden ease and sudden
physical
improvement--each time when he suspended self-disapproval, and when for
your reasons you begani to suspend your own.
The situation and the faith that you managed to build up in Framework
2 have come to your aid. The ommm exercises and the rune exercises are
showing results because some of the material has come through again to
you from
the sessions, and you are jointly suspending your self-disapproval. In
religious
terms, you
would realize you were saved, or a child of God. You have stopped to a
degree identifring yourselves with any limitations.
When this happens you actually symbolically say "Let thy will be done,"
meaning let my greater nature, my spontaneous nature, flow through me
without impediment, and without quibbling." Then the benefits from
Framework 2 can begin to flow without impediment. The body can right
itself,
and the methods that you use work.
Do you want to rest your hand?
('No, I'm OK.')
Ruburt's eyes are definitely improving these last few days, as the strain
is
being relieved from the rest of the body--the neck area particularly, the
jaws
and muscles of the brow....
