If one is overly cautious and is not fully awake to himself, this may seem like laying hold of your Divinity by means of blind faith but that is not necessary.  But, if you take it wholly on blind faith, you have made a separation again and would never get to the goal.  It is far better to say I can and then go right on to I AM.  I can is the potential fact, but I am is its fulfillment in your consciousness.  Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life.  You can never be that which you are not nor can you be anything but what you ARE.  If you can become anything, as you put it, you ARE that.  It is really not a matter of becoming, it is a matter of Being.  Because you accept the I can't attitude in any condition or circumstance, you have accepted a division.  Jesus said you could not compromise with sin, you cannot deviate from the fact and express that fact. This body does not need to be spiritualized.  It is already spiritual but man's false beliefs about it have shut his mind to its radiance and limitlessness.  Spirit is always Spirit.  Man creates the materiality.  There is but one body and that body is Spiritual.  It is the Temple of the Living God and God is in the Temple; let all the earth rejoice before God.  If you call the body material, it is denying God and profaning the Temple.  If you call the body or any true condition material, you are denying God.  You are worshiping a material condition more than you are worshiping God.  That is how you get into hypnosis.  The moment that you deny God you are in a hypnotic influence and the moment you see the body as material you are in a hypnotic influence wherein you deny God. The body is an instrument through which to express God.  It is the greatest known instrument to express Spirit.  It is brought here definitely for you to present God every moment.  Not to present materiality, or hypnosis, or psychism; not to present phenomena, but to present Spirit.  We are God.  We cannot make a separation and, if we refuse completely all separation, we would be out of all material conditions and all psychic phenomena.  This is how man comes to know and understand the One Presence and One power.  It is all One, One Power, One Reality.  And everything works and operates under that One Power and One presence according to its own law.  It is not adulterated with any other notion but moves as Itself in its own complete field. Questioner: Third density, then, compared to the rest of the densities, all of them, is nothing but a uniquely short period of what we consider to be time and is for the purpose of this choice. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is precisely correct. The prelude to choice must encompass the laying of the foundation, the establishment of the illusion and the viability of that which can be made spiritually viable. The remainder of the densities is continuous refining of the choice. This also is greatly lengthened, as you would use the term. The choice is, as you put it, the work of a moment but is the axis upon which the creation turns. Ra: I am Ra. In the mind complex the matrix may be described as consciousness. It has been called the Magician. It is to be noted that of itself consciousness is unmoved. The potentiator of consciousness is the unconscious. This encompasses a vast realm of potential in the mind. In the body the matrix may be seen as Balanced Working or Even Functioning. Note that here the matrix is always active with no means of being inactive. The potentiator of the body complex, then, may be called Wisdom for it is only through judgment that the unceasing activities and proclivities of the body complex may be experienced in useful modes. The Matrix of the Spirit is what you may call the Night of the Soul or Primeval Darkness. Again we have that which is not capable of movement or work. The potential power of this extremely receptive matrix is such that the potentiator may be seen as Lightning. In your archetypical system called the tarot this has been refined into the concept complex of the Lightning Struck Tower. However, the original potentiator was light in its sudden and fiery form; that is, the lightning itself. The Divine self of each man is the Avatar, the Savior of his own being, but he must accept his Savior, be that SELF. The Life of the Masters is Life the way they live it.  They live life as it is.  Their attitude toward life is that it is the action of the One Principle, never divided or separated from its source.  They live life true to that Principle and thus, they show the way for all to live true to that Principle of Life.  To them life is not a theory of existence, it is an actual fact, a fact with no beginning and no ending.  The individual must come to this one attitude of living which comes through the one attitude of thought toward it.  They say that it is God expressing through the human individual, the highest and most select channel through which life manifests.  Thus life can manifest in a more select activity or complete form through the human individual. Paragraph 22.  It is not necessary to convert one form into another for the other is already there just as truly.  It is training the mind to know this, to work in the realm of reality, and not always to be trying to make something over into another form of reality.  Two plus two equals four, and three plus three equals six, and it is not necessary to try to make one over into the other.  They are both manifest facts already. Paragraph 24.  You are not making your body over or changing your world, you are only recognizing reality and discarding all false notions about everything. Paragraph 27.  The Master, the Genius, the God man are all one and the same thing and this is but man being MAN, being Himself, void of the opinions of race experience. The Life of the Masters is Life the way they live it.  They live life as it is.  Their attitude toward life is that it is the action of the One Principle, never divided or separated from its source.  They live life true to that Principle and thus, they show the way for all to live true to that Principle of Life.  To them life is not a theory of existence, it is an actual fact, a fact with no beginning and no ending.  The individual must come to this one attitude of living which comes through the one attitude of thought toward it.  They say that it is God expressing through the human individual, the highest and most select channel through which life manifests.  Thus life can manifest in a more select activity or complete form through the human individual. When Jesus said, In the midst of life ye are in death, he was not warning the people that they are always face to face with death.  He expressed astonishment at the condition of death among men when they lived in the midst of life continually.  Man only needs to live life as it is, accept it as it is, and not measure it by years and material standards.  You are eternal life right here and now if you would only recognize it.  But life is not something that is to come; it is here at this very moment in which you live.  People separate themselves from the life which IS by trying to live in the past or the future.  But the past is dead and the future is only born in the eternal now.  All the life of Infinite Space moves at this very moment and whosoever will may drink of that life freely.  You do not even need to try to live eternally for, if you are alive at all, you are in eternal life and all you need to do is to so live it.  Forget the past, do not try to project yourself into the future for NOW is the only acceptable time.  You are in eternity NOW. The life of the masters is not passed in what the world would call gainful occupations.  They have passed that.  Their life is of Service always, many of them going about from place to place assisting in what we would look upon as material ways, with material things.  We have never seen them accepting anything from anyone for themselves.  We have seen them give out food and clothing and supplies of all descriptions.  A Master is a servant.  If he is a Master, he is above the world and the world can give him nothing.  He must reverse the process and he in turn gives to the world. The statement that the servant is worthy of his hire does not mean that one may commercialize healing.  That means that the individual who thus serves is worthy of a higher life, worthy to become a Master and not a servant.  Of course the Master is the greatest servant, for his entire life is spent in service, for that is the field in which he works and expresses his mastership. In the matter of food, the Masters consume far less than we do.  We have known them to eat no more than three grains of rice a day but they take in enough pranic substance to support their bodies for long periods if necessary.  They masticate their food thoroughly.  They can chew these three grains of rice all day and, by the time they have finished, they have taken enough prana to last their bodies at least twenty-four hours.  They have no set time for eating for they do not work with time as men measure it.  They eat whenever they feel like it.  We have never known them to recognize meal hours as we recognize them.  They can go without food completely for hundreds of days.
