"Christ transforms what is seen by the power of spirit. An invisible wind passes through him, called feeling. To the man who feels he is strong, though he is weak, will be consumed in fire, revealing a strong man. This is the mystery of the gospels: That a worldly man could call what is unseen as though it were seen, and see it come to pass.

Thereby, he would transcend the world of physical limitation, activating the substance of things hoped for, calling forth the evidence of things unseen. Christ is the worldly man consumed by an ecstatic faith. If in his feeling, he desires what to the worldly man seems impossible, he will make the impossible possible. Feeling of the answered prayer is to accept a desire as true, believing it is already received. This is the work of God: To believe in the one whom He sent. [John 6:29]

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PREFACE

This book comes in response to witnessing the crippling effects of sin in my life and the life of those around me. I was taught sin was an act against God. The desires of the flesh should be denied. Accepting Jesus Christ into the heart was the only way to Salvation. At the time I did not know the words I was using were the key to my former bondage and present liberation. I was raised in Spanish Pentecostal and Protestant churches. Later I attended English modern mega churches. I witnessed the laying of hands, speaking in tongues, and always felt the spirit moving strongly in those places. But when I stepped outside the church, I felt a terrible loneliness. We were told that we are not alone, but loneliness walked with me like a shadow. I felt as though I was alone in the midst of billions of people, and none of them knew my thoughts or could understand how I felt. I longed to find a way to feel loved, wanted, at peace.

The traditional theological practices I was taught led me to believe I could earn salvation through denying myself. I was also taught that if I didn’t obey, I wouldn’t gain acceptance into the Kingdom of Heaven when I die. I tried the methods, but did not understand how the human tendency to err kept us from Salvation. It seemed that too many suffered, and often unnecessarily. Most of that suffering seemed to come from our own perception of what we should and should not be doing. 

I attended the United States Military Academy at West Point for four years. My experience there was often exciting and fulfilling but whenever I returned to my living quarters, I condemned God as the cause of my trouble. I moved to my parents’ home in September 2012. The years to follow would serve as the foundational experience for this book. Years passed as I lived to excess, numbing myself from past memories. I had grown up in church so the preferred method of redemption was prayer, studying a bible that did not make any sense to me, and volunteering my time. That’s what I did, to no avail. I tried group sessions, I tried one-on-one counseling. Every avenue always led me back to myself.

Until one night I felt a true change, a change that would remain indelibly impressed upon every atom of my being.  Shortly thereafter, I encountered a series of events that led me to you today.

My journey began when I noticed interesting consistencies between the bibles characters and the scientific aspects of our body, mind, psychology, emotion, and spirit.

I read as many books as I could get my hands on. Most of the books were centered in a radically different direction than what I was raised to believe. It’s these books that fed the catalyst to that change.

As taught in the books, I learned how to stop begging when I pray, and start appropriating. I practiced an imaginal act, where I  felt as though I received what I asked for. I decided to ask for guidance from the universe, and to bring it to me in the best way possible. In a child-like way, I asked, knowing that it would happen. It didn’t quite make sense, but it felt right. In a few weeks, a strange sequence of events unfolded leading me to exactly what I had imagined.  Based on my background, I had met and witnessed many healings in the church, and radical alterations of a person’s mind, body and spirit. So I wasn’t opposed to the idea of experiencing more than meets the eye.

I was prompted to learn the deeper mystical meanings of the bible, its coded language. I learned how the bible would only reveal itself to earnest seekers of truth. Those who wanted a true experience of God would receive it. Upon re-discovering that God is consciousness, the aperture through which the universe is viewing itself, I felt my life began again. That’s when I decided I had to share with others what I had come to understand.

Jesus is the little child within man, the second man, who is constantly becoming what the first or worldly man is envisioning. God is simple. What you are praying for is already here. The trouble we encounter as humans is that we are limited in our perception. Acknowledging the presence of something outside our perception becomes possible when we open ourselves to the feeling of possibility. In the years to follow I abandoned every pretense I was given or taught. I sought to know the truth as the writers of Scripture intended to tell us. I often felt uncomfortable visiting church or having discussions with friends about Christ because the words I heard in my spirit were contrary to the predominant universal belief.

At the time I began writing The Christ Effect, I was cutting diamonds with a Master diamond cutter in a small facility located in Northeast Georgia. I had practiced the art of concentration, sitting for hours on end staring at one point of a diamond, while maintaining awareness of time as it passed. Stillness became a key habit. I carried this practice into meditation. What I thought was a bogus practice turned out to be the doorway to new life. I knew that when I prayed, I was asking God for something. But, I learned that unless we still ourselves long enough to receive inspiration, the answer often gets muddled in the conversations and broadcasts of the world at large. At times I went overboard--I’m just that way. I’m intense about everything I do. But I always returned to searching scripture, to recognizing the beauty and peace of all things around me. 

After a year of practicing meditation, and applying what I was learning, I began to have visions. Strong desires preceded the vision. I knew that a dream had concealed meaning. It was a symbolic language with a hidden meaning. Desire led me to ask God questions. I learned if
