Joy Is Our Heritage, Our Birthright
By William Samuel

Excerpt from The Child Within Us Lives!

We are the children of GOD, so joy is our heritage! Why should we deprive ourselves of the Inheritance by thinking one must perish in the flesh before God's Kingdom becomes God's Kingdom? "And God saw everything he had made and, behold, it was very good"! That good is right here, right now---Good is ours for the anticipation!

But that's not the end of the matter; the anticipation and receipt of Truth is only half the joy. There is much to be done with that Truth once we've received it. That is the subject we'll be into soon.

This experience "I" am living has grown into something quite beyond words. No hyperbole here. Exactly the way it is. Simply an explosion of inner Joy and a continuing confirmation of that Joy beyond anything I had ever known except for the briefest moments. Oh, how to say this? And why? I answer the "why" quickly: I write as a marker for my "others" who dream of such joy. It is true! It happens! It isn't just a "dream of desire along the way." I do not know how lasting in the world's time it will seem to be, but "my" life has been made full.

The other evening at a lovely lady's house one of the guests spoke of going to a concert and suddenly getting caught up in a glorious tingling thrill of joy and delight. Her eyes sparkled as she told of it. Everyone could see her tears of reminiscence and knew what a genuine joy she spoke of. Then she fell silent, her eyes closed, and I heard myself saying, "That's it! That is the joy of the experience everyone calls enlightenment." Some speak of it as illumination---sparks from the Child within. First we recognize those fleeting moments and acknowledge them for being the Light of Life they are. In so acknowledging them, we are faithful to the pennies of such moments and eventually find ourselves trusted with the dollars of them. Greater moments come. And greater. We look around one day to find we are living in the continual confirmation of Joy we have faithfully anticipated.
