There is nothing about me that you cannot attain - Jesus

There is nothing about me that you cannot attain. I have nothing that does not come
from God. The main difference between us as yet is that I have NOTHING ELSE. This
leaves me in a state of true holiness, which is only a POTENTIAL in you.
“No man cometh to the Father but by me” is among the most misunderstood
statements in the Bible. It DOES NOT mean that I am in anyway separate (or different)
from you, EXCEPT IN TIME. Now, we know that time does not exist. Actually, the statement
is much more meaningful if it is considered on a vertical rather than a horizontal axis.
Regarded along the vertical, man stands below me, and I stand below God. In the process
of “rising up”, I AM higher. This is because without me the distance between God and
man is too great for man to encompass. I bridge the distance as an Elder Brother to man,
on the one hand, and a Son of God on the other. My devotion to my brothers has placed
me in charge of the Sonship, which I can render complete only to the extent I can SHARE
it.
This appears to contradict another statement: “I and my Father are one.” It doesn’t.
There are still separate parts in the statement, in recognition of the fact that the Father is
GREATER. Actually, the original statement was “are of one KIND.”
The Holy Spirit is the Bringer of Revelations, not miracles. Revelations are INDIRECTLY
inspired by me, because I am close to the Holy Spirit, and alert to revelation-readiness in
my brothers. I can thus BRING DOWN to them more than they can DRAW down to
themselves. Jean Dixon’s description is perhaps a better statement of my position. Because
my feet are on the ground and my hands are in heaven, I can bring down the glories of
Heaven to my brothers on earth.
The Holy Spirit is the Highest Communication Medium. Miracles do not involve this
type of communication, because they are TEMPORARY communicative devices. When
man can return to his original form of communication with God by direct REVELATION,
the need for miracles is over. The Holy Spirit mediates higher to lower order
communication, keeping the direct channel from God to man open for revelation.
Revelation is NOT reciprocal. It is always FROM God TO man. This is because God and
man are NOT equal. The miracle is reciprocal because it ALWAYS involves equality.
In the longitudinal (or horizontal) plane, the true equality of all men in the Sonship
appears to involve almost endless time. But we know that time is only an artifact introduced
as a learning aid.
41.The miracle is a learning device which lessens the need for time. The sudden
shifts from horizontal to vertical perception which the miracle entails introduces an interval
from which the doer and the receiver both emerge much farther along in time than they
would otherwise have been.
A miracle has thus the uique property of abolishing time by rendering the space of
time it occupies unnecessary. There is NO relation between the time a miracle TAKES
and the time it COVERS. It substitutes FOR learning that might have taken thousands of years. It does this by the underlying recognition of perfect equality and holiness between
doer and receiver on which the miracle rests.
It is unstable, but perfectly consistent, i.e., it does not occur predictably across time,
and it rarely occurs in comparable forms. But within ITSELF it is perfectly consistent.
Since it contains NOTHING BUT an acknowledgment of equality and worth, all parts
ARE equal. This establishes the prerequisite for validity.
We said before that the miracle abolishes time. It does this by a process of
COLLAPSING it. It thus abolishes certain INTERVALS within it. It does this, however,
WITHIN the larger temporal sequence.
The validity of the miracle, then, is PREDICTIVE, not logical, within the temporal
schema. It establishes an out-of-pattern time interval, which is NOT under the usual laws
of time. Only in this sense is it timeless. By collapsing time, it literally saves time, much
the way “daylight saving time” does. It rearranges the distribution of light.
The miracle is the only device which man has at his immediate disposal for controlling
time. Only the Revelation TRANSCENDS it, having nothing to do with time at all. The
miracle is much like the body, in that both are learning aids which aim at facilitating a
state in which they are unnecessary. When the Soul is finally in the original state of direct
communication, neither the body nor the miracle serves any purpose.
While he is IN the body, however, man can choose between loveless and miraculous
channels of creativity. He can create an empty shell (see previous reference), but he
DOESNOT create nothing at all. He can wait, delay, paralyze himself, reduce his creativity
almost to nothing, and even introduce a real developmental arrest or regression. But he
CANNOT abolish his creativity. He CAN destroy his medium of communication, but NOT
his potential.
He was NOT created by his own free will. Only what HE creates is his to decide. The
basic decision of the miracle-minded is NOT to wait on time any longer than is necessary.
Time can waste, as well as be wasted. The miracle-worker, therefore, accepts the timecontrol
factor of the miracle gladly, because he knows that every collapse of time brings
all men closer to the ultimate RELEASE from time, in which the Son and the Father ARE
one.
The real meaning “are of one kind” is “of one mind or will.” When the will of the
Sonship and the Father are one, their perfect accord IS Heaven.
