I've been hanging out with some Advaita people lately. I don't much about Advaita, but I do know the teaching or philosophy is based on Non-duality. Now I like to use the God when I write and talk about Non-duality. However, among these folks that I have been communicating with, the word God seems to be something they do not like much.

If you are coming from the Advaita non-dual studies, please take note that William Samuel is not opposed to using the word God (if you want a full explanation and brilliant definition of exactly how William uses the word "God" please see the free downloadable book "Two Plus Two Equals Reality". )

I always loved William's work just because he does include God in 'non-duality'. He bridges the Western-Judeo-Christian mind with Eastern non-duality teachings and he has a real gift for being able to do so.

Now, saying this, I want to point out something marvelous and often unheard of in both the metaphysical sciences and Advaita Vedanta.

William speaks of The Child.

And he tells us about The Child and It's importance to our own Self-discovery.

"Show Me the stone which the builders have rejected. It is the cornerstone." Gospel According to Thomas

William tells us that this cornerstone that was rejected is what he calls The Child. The Child is the omnipresent, quantum Self of every one of us. Sort of like 'the one you were before the world was.' Or perhaps more like the photon; everywhere at once.

The Child assists our journey, our learning, and leads us into and out of experiences in order that we may more fully comprehend the nature of Reality.

I know now that we can't make the whole climb to the top without The Child. The discovery of The Child is essential.

The Child, The Genuine Original Self of us; it is so marvelous and so important, but, except for Jesus, it goes unmentioned by 'traditional' non-duality and metaphysical teachers, preachers, gurus, and lights of this world, that I know of.

I know that this Child-I Am is Real and It is an essential part of our finding the final answers. Without this cornerstone, we can become lost in intellectual concepts about 'non-duality' and the 'absolute'; mesmerized and stuck in words pertaining to separation, ego, dream, illusion, nothingness, unreal and on and on, fostering a subsequent denying of the heart and spirit which knows the Joy of Life and the Grace of Living a Full and Genuine Selfhood... a Real Self that can acknowledge and understand God to be This, The One and Only Living Presence of All That Is.

Its seems sometimes that the most arrogant of us are the ones steeped in the metaphysics of Non-duality and the Absolute. This arrogance in the name of 'egoless-ness' holds the heart hostage and the spirit withers from thirst as many are depriving themselves of their Genuine Self and Its connection to The Eternal Well Spring of Life....Life, real and here and now, just as it is.

These that are unwilling to see beyond 'non-duality' are those who miss out on the Real Living Joy of This Divine Presence which is Here and Now Already the One 'we' are.

When you find The Child then you no longer have to call anything or everything illusion or dream. The Child Heart will make it all become very clear. You do live again. You are born again. You begin to understand in ways that only the very Heart of you can.

This Living Light, Divine Intelligence, The Child, The Holy Grail knows exactly what 'illusion and dream' is really all about and It understands exactly why those word are used.

This Child Light, Christ Light, is available to anyone, no need to study any particular religion, no need to know anything about Advaita or Non-duality, or the Absolute Metaphysics of any kind (maybe it helps, but I am not so sure anymore, that it's necessary).…It seems to me it is more often those simple and humbled folks who 'just love God' that are the ones who find the Child. Whether they know it or not, they are the ones who are living The Child's Loving Light right here in this world; giving and receiving and doing for others what they can, as best they can.

So, I know that my mention here of this Child Heart is a leap……one that often 'turns off' many a non-dualist/absolute 'student' as none of this sounds very 'non-dualistic'....but indeed it actually very much is.

I speak from my own discovery, or I should say I speak because of my Gratitude that This Child has come to me, or been uncovered. And I know that I am to share my discovery with you and I am not to be shy with this information any longer.

This Child, this Inner Guide now holds my hand and shows me the way through this mythical world story. Making it so that I am capable of living honestly in this world. Making it so that I can negotiate, navigate and walk through the challenging events with more ease and grace and love and integrity and character. I know now the 'why and wherefore' of Life's challenges.

This Child is within Everyone. Find It and It will confirm for you Who and What you are and why the need for this mythical world experience.

From what I discovered in my own personal journey, just as William said, This Child of Light and Love is the pathfinder, the guide, the way shower …The Child takes us to Dominion.

Dominion is the Peace, Balance, and Understanding within ourselves that remains immutable and uninterrupted despite the situations and circumstances in our lives.

It is the absolutely essential key, and time is running out, so I share here with you.

Finding the Child is our next step beyond, over and above all the Non-Duality/Absolute rhetoric and still including it all. . The Child transcends it all and The Child will, slowly but surely, gently and personally, unloosen the binds.... and we become new and see the world in an entirely new light.

….And Love enters the scene and we find that we know exactly what to do, and how to do it.

Upon finding our Real Self we find our God given gifts and we share those gifts with our world. Now free from restricting dogma and rhetoric of all kinds. Free from that crazy battle of trying to rid ourselves of 'ego' when in truth there never was anything to be rid of, in truth it was our 'ego' that made us able to and brought us to receive the gift of The Child.

We are free to do for our world all the good things we had pushed away in the name of 'egoless-ness' or 'enlightenment'. We are freed from the confines where in we can only use particular words and certain terminology and we are free from restrictive teachers and teachings limited to self-inquiry and negating. By the Light of Love we find our very own direct and very Real Source of Wisdom and Intelligence that never leaves us, as long we are faithful to It.

This Light is yours, It is within you right here and now, search your heart, look for It, find It…It is the Self of you and It is honest and true and leads us aright.

If you feel any interest in this, it would be very helpful to you to read William's book "The Child Within Us Lives! A Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Metaphysics" ...He wrote a masterpiece, a genuine treasure trove of Light and Brilliance. Here is a marvelous guide, honest and clear, written for you so that you too can understand and find again your Self, This Living Light, The Child of you.

Much Love to All, Sandy
