MJ Deconstruction Class 2 Notes #8

Selected Excerpts from The God Behind The God

I cheerfully sat in this state for a number of hours. As I sat there, every particle in my entire

physical body was filled with glee. I was crying tears of joy which I felt from the very depths

of my soul.

This beating heart was pouring out unconditional love like a flow of rushing water. While in

this absolute state of pure bliss, I could hear a beautiful melody.

Like an orchestra, everything in the universe was playing one tune; all coming together to play

one beautiful song. I saw all of the past, present, and future as one simultaneous event

happening in the now.

Morgan O. Smith

Whatever it was, something extraordinary remained, which I cannot put into words. What did

linger was a sense of a presence that was always there; an existence before my birth, my

parent's birth, and even before what we call the beginning of time.

I wish to make this clear: there is no difference between God, Consciousness, Existence, the

Absolute, the Source, the Most High, the All, the Void, the Nothingness, Perfection, Oneness,

Reality, Self, True Nature, Tao, Essence, Brahman, Para Brahman, or any other label that can

possibly be bestowed.

In this book, I will probably use most of these terms. It may appear that I am speaking about

completely different things, but I am only speaking of one thing. This one thing about which I

am speaking can never be encapsulated by the word that is given to it.

Comments on the above quote from my Awakening Community onFacebook

Joey Lott:Add to that list: you, your life, this, stuff happening, thoughts, feelings, experiencing,

others, body, me, mine, self (lowercase), stuff I like, stuff I don't like, preferences, spiritual stuff,

unspiritual stuff, and so on. Basically, all of this.

Michael Jeffreys: Thanks Joey for adding what I was thinking as I finished reading the quote. ALL

leaves nothing out and voila!, wholeness is seen to already be the case!! (Even the mind's "yeah,

buts..." and "I don't get it" are included in all that IS.) I remember Adyashanti saying that the first time

you look at a twinkie wrapper and you realize that that's god too, you can get a bit misty eyed.

Vince Sergino:Im trying to keep it as simple as i can for others to understand. I notice myself

continuously using a quote by Mooji. "When attention is one with IS-ness, all your life flowers" .

Concentrate and contemplate that statement until you understand it at the very core of your being.

How will you know if you understand this deeply? Because you will notice that the attention and IS-

ness merge into one... because they've always been one. There's only ONE thing going on!

What is perceived in the outside world is just a reflection of what is found within. With that

realization, both the inner and the outer will merge into one Essence.

3/3

Hopefully you will come to know that the God were talking about in this book is neither an

external God nor an internal one; it is neither a personal God nor the god of the multitude. Yet

these concepts are included within The All.

Were not speaking about an ideal god. The concept of an ideal god is a part of the

imagination that rests within the mind, which some believe resides in our physical vessel. The

God were speaking of simply is, and youre that very thing whether you choose to believe it

or not.

Arian Herbert

COMMENTARY: The God being spoken of here is not a god of imagination... it's literally everything

and nothing. -Michael
