Great Is The Reward- By William Samuel

A Little Excerpt From Essays By William Samuel

"... great will be (the Child's) reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets before you."

Then, somewhere along the line--precept upon precept, here a little, there a little, one awakens to the middle ground. That middle ground is still as AWARENESS (which the subjective "level" made such a to do about) but this time it is realized to be GOD'S Awareness and not "mine."

This is the dawning of the Portal state. This is the true Christ state, it seems to me. It is where the Light of this day puts me. Not as me, or by me, but as God's Self-awareness, inside out and outside in, above as below and below as above. And at this time one is able to exclaim as did Isaiah did, "How fallen art thou, oh Lucifer!" The metaphysical level where one believes himself to be the Christ of his own world is the truly dangerous time. It is the avenue of the most violent anti-Christ of them all: humanistic metaphysics, claiming the abilities of God in the name of the unsurrendered human mind--and calling that mind divine. It is the tripping ground for many an earnest practitioner and minister of metaphysics. Most of them.

The subjective view is like another world. It speaks of Already. It speaks to an all-pervading Godhead which is pure and perfect. It speaks to the "real" state of Life and to the "true Identity" of man as already made in the image and likeness of Perfection, having its true being within and as the Mind of God. It speaks of the illusory nature of the objective scene "out there" as the projection of mortal mind--the belief of life apart from God. The subjective state views objectivism as its own unevolved seeing, to be "put off" if not understood--or, at the least, sees objects as illusion to be given neither power nor "reality." Generally speaking, in its most absolute statements, subjectivism speaks of "matter" as incapable of disclosing ultimate Reality--or even leading the way toward that discovery. It makes as strong a distinction between Truth and error as objectivism makes of good and evil--and in that sense subjectivism (non-duality) remains dualistic even while denying the reality or possibility of "dualism."

When the Child in us comes alive again, we are led to a synergistic view greater than either objective or subjective. It is a New View, a balanced View, infinitely more simple than my words are capable of. I know the time for that New View is at hand.

Awareness limited to "subjective" or" objective" is limited awareness--hence not Awareness at all.

The simple fact that the Ineffable is BOTH immanent and transcendent simultaneously doesn't seem to dawn quickly, if at all, in closed circles.

Is Subjectivism necessary? Can one stand atop Da Shan without the subjective Idea? I don't see how. I really don't. But, in the days ahead, when the flowering begins, those who run with the Child will be part of the flower and seed--and that's what matters.

My cry for 30 years has been for the TEACHERS to get ready--and the teachers who know their subjectivism via the Experience of It will be the true teachers this side of the Child within.

Now, the knowledge of the Child doesn't mean that we-as the rediscovered Child-don't vote or support our church and country. We don't withdraw from anything. It means more nearly that we are viewed as a peculiar people, not quite so governable by external authorities and their institutions. We will be taken to task by everyone who hears and fears our Self-discovery.

The prophets saw this coming-as did Jesus. "Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsely" (for the Child's sake).
