Buy The Truth & Sell It Not

Jane Woodard

Today I watched a boy skipping stones across the water. Watching him I realized that he is the Child of all of us, the wonderful place that we think of as childhood, where there are no regrets about a past and no worries about a future. This is the place of JUST BEING. I watched his earnest intent to find just the right shape for skipping. I watched his joyous response when the chosen stone skimmed the waves. I watched as he turned time and again in search of yet another stone. I noted his total emersion in this pursuit, unaware that anyone was watching him. He was absolutely centered, focused and having fun, enjoying life! But in that simple picture of a young boy skipping stones, I saw something of much greater value. Not only did I enjoy watching him, sharing his childhood pleasure, but through him I was reminded of the simplicity of Life, joyous, innocent and carefree. This is why Jesus said that we must become like a little child – not childish, not even child-like, but trusting, open, expectant, willing and free in order to come to where we belong: a place called HOME. We must return to The Innocence, The Untainted, Uneducated, and Undefiled by the cares of this world – BEING THAT WE ARE. We must go back to that moment of AWARENESS before we thought we were born, and realize WE ARE LIFE ITSELF!

We appear on the screen of Life, a Visible Expression of the Invisible ONE we call God. We come into a world of beauty with clarity of mind, purity of heart, that LIFE might have a face. All of us have the childhood experience that GOD might experience it. We do not have to go back to being a child. We’ve done that now. But we can once again return to the MIND that is pure, innocent, and whole – this time knowing about it all. We can, like a child, begin to see a new world before us with new eyes. We can once again experience LIFE at the level of newness. That long lost feeling of fascination with such things as butterflies and fireflies, sunny days and snowflakes. We can begin to realize a world within us, a world which we bring into visibility simply for our good pleasure! Paradise regained in the realization of our True I-dentity. With this realization we see that Paradise was never lost, except in our thinking.

Consider, with me, the simplicity of a child’s life. Recall, if you will, the joy of JUST BEING, in the MOMENT, in the HERE and NOW – LIFE as just an exciting adventure. The thrill of just being alive! Recall that time before you began to take life so seriously, before responsibilities drained the joy of life out of you, before the world’s affairs laid heavy on your mind, and the daily grind ground you to dust. Go again to that innocent beautiful time of being freshly aware. That innocent, lovely ALIVENESS is yours once again to enjoy when you begin to AWAKEN to TRUTH. That wonderful place where you do not worry about anything, where you trusted Life to provide for you, protect you, and love you. Love was all you knew. You were unaware of a world of trouble, loved everyone and believed everyone loved you. Don’t you wish to return to that state of mind, that un-intimidated, uninhibited, unafraid and unlimited ALIVENESS and AWARENESS? Well, my friend, IT awaits your turning from this world once again to the TRUTH of your BEING! This time, however, you will understand it all as it is. You will appreciate LIFE in all its glory, but from a different perspective because you have walked through the valley of the shadow of death and are returned to the Secret Place of the MOST HIGH, realizing it all within your SELF.

Once again the world becomes a playground. What I am going to share with you will take you there if you will let it. I have stepped through a doorway, an entrance into a happy place. I am experiencing something that I can only attempt to tell you about. If you know me only as Jane, you may not at first recognize anything particularly different about me. But if you will hang around close for a while you will see some things about my life that you will want to experience yourself. You will hear some things you have not heard before, if you will allow me to be real with you. If you are willing to listen, and really consider what I am saying to you, you too will begin to realize LIFE, and see that IT is something quite different from what you have thought it to be. Things that are otherwise impossible will begin to be possible. Doors will open that you could not open with a crowbar by the little personality person you have thought yourself to be. You will begin to realize the TRUE SELF YOU ARE doing all, as you ride the bow of the ship and watch, and yet know that YOU are indeed the Captain of your Salvation as well. If you are unafraid and can become again like the child, you will slip away with me into a place you have been before but seem to have forgotten exists.

Driven by circumstances to be still and quiet, I began to see something totally remarkable to the one who has lost sight of his original and only TRUE STATE of BEING, the one who has been caught up in business as usual, the one walking around calling himself human, the one who has been working at trying to make a living, trying to make life work. In the stillness and quietness of my heart I found LIFE, and in finding LIFE I have realized something incredible: that we are all ONE BEING! WE are ALL ONE and that ONE is LIFE. WE are GOD being, which is LIFE, LOVE, SPIRIT, PERFECTION, REALITY, LIGHT, TRUTH appearing as different expressions; ONE GARDEN, but many varieties of plants, herbs and blossoms, colors, shapes and sizes, all just BEING, each contributing to the beauty of the WHOLE.

Once again I am beginning to view my world from a child’s innocent perspective, believing anything is possible, and realizing it is so. I feel like the little one who stands before an aquarium turning his head from side to side observing. He does not judge or criticize what is going on in that watery world, unless he falls into it. He simply enjoys watching it. The difference is that as I unlock the secrets of LIFE I realize I rule over my world calling those things that are not as though they were and they are!

There is a sense of realizing myself as the Observer, rather than, like a fish in a goldfish bowl, the observed. Rather than trying to fit into a world that never could contain ME, I have begun to realize that the world has actually always been within me. The kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU. You are not in it, in REALITY, but it is all within You! As you begin to realize this and many other things that will come to you, you will see how you can rule and reign in a world where every wish is granted, every desire realized. No this is not a fairy tale, any more than any of the promises in the Bible are fairy tales. While You appear to be in and of the world for awhile, in order to experience things you would not otherwise, the moment of great expectation finally arrives and you burst through, so to speak, into another place where the visible and invisible are realized as ONE, and all is realized as Spirit, GOD BEING ALL.

So I feel compelled to write, because no matter where you are now, and how you see life at this moment, you will at some time, find yourself seeking something higher, farther, and greater than life as you have known it. The clichés of the past will not suffice at some point. All the rhetoric will simply fall at your feet as autumn leaves: dead words, void of life. You will find yourself at some point asking the big questions, the ones regarding Truth. The thorn in your flesh, whatever that irritant might be, is the very thing that will eventually be the catalyst to propel you out of your complacency and satisfaction with the lie into TRUTH. Your thorny encounters will last only so long as you need them. Just as the tiny grain of sand which somehow gets trapped in the oyster shell causes such irritation to the oyster that he has to begin something NEW: a secretion that creates the pearl. Just so the difficulties in your experience will at sometime cause you to realize the pearl of great price, something beautiful stirring WITHIN as an awareness: YOUR TRUE SELF.

Remember as you read, that all of us write from the place we are at this moment. I write with the understanding I have right NOW, but I realize that my right now is ever revealing and thus by the end of this I will have seen more than I see at the beginning. The latter house (understanding) will be greater than the former. The next writing I write will have expanded even more because the increase of our understanding has no end. I share only what is LIFE to me, what I have seen thus far, and am walking through. All is always only in the NOW, so though it seems as though time is what has taught me, in Reality, TRUTH is simply bringing to my remembrance that which for a moment I seem to have forgotten.

Please understand, this is not written to tell you TRUTH. No one can tell you TRUTH. You have to find that out for yourself, because TRUTH is not something you know, but WHAT you BE. What you will find here is a door standing open to you. You may step through if you wish. If you read this only once you may be mildly entertained or perhaps even find confirmation of what you are already realizing. You may be lifted into a higher understanding or you may awaken to something you have not even dreamed was there as you read. If you will read it more than once, every time you read it you will find between and behind the lines things you will not see at first read. But know this, what you are seeking you will find. And when you find IT, you will realize IT was here all the time. When you see IT – YOU ARE IT! IT is the reason you have never quite been completely satisfied. IT is that mild undertone that causes one to wake up one morning with everything going well to say, I feel depressed and with no good reason. Or when everything is at its absolute best there still seems to be something missing. Or when everything is the pits, you wonder why and what it’s all about. If all were always bliss, completely perfect in your dream-world you would never wish to awaken.

The IT spoken of is the heaven you don’t want to die to get to, but you sure want to enjoy HERE and NOW! IT is the absolute peace that nothing otherwise earth shaking can affect. IT is the answer to every question, and yet it has virtually nothing to do with education or religion. In fact, TRUTH, has nothing to do with how much one knows. Isn’t that a relief?! IT is the sudden stillness and silence you experience when you come out of the world! The calm after the storm. IT is the Oh this is IT that you have wondered about for what seems like ages. IT is what Jesus Christ really meant when he spoke about being born again, nothing like what the world believes.

So long as we think we are in the world, as well as of it, everything is thought to be made up of parts and pieces, segregated and separated. We think we instead of I. We think many instead of ONE. We think we are separate identities, separated beings from each other and certainly separate beings from God. We think in terms of separate people living separate lives, in separate bodies, with separate names, having separate problems, separate families, separate nationalities, separate minds, etc. We are not viewing life from the perspective of the Observer at that point, rather we think we are the observed: observed by others and even religiously speaking, observed by a God who is watching over us.

TRUTH is so SIMPLE that even a child KNOWS it until he is educated to forget it. Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. The this world" he was speaking of is actually a belief system. It becomes more and more complicated the more
