The experience of "Oneness"

In this place within myself, I am caught away and I lose consciousness of time.   I am so connected to the vastness of my being which is Christ.   I KNOW that there is only ONE.  I am ONE with all things created in pure LOVE.  I see that when we come to this place within our self, we are weaving threads of gold in our heavens and earth and this is the STREETS OF GOLD that the Bible speaks of.  These golden streets are within us.   We walk these streets of gold in ourselves by being the fullness of the Christ manifested.  

I am being the fullness of the Christ manifested when I am:  ALLOWING the Christ to lead in spite of what my mind thinks that I should or should not be doing; BELIEVING that Christ is having IT'S own way in me regardless of what it may appear; KNOWING that without the life of Christ manifesting Itself through me I will never be whole; SURRENDING to the Christ mind until I feel like liquid moving around with no substance, patiently waiting for the call from Spirit to take substance.

When I come back to the consciousness of TIME, I find myself writing my experience.  I desire that everyone experience this place within himself or herself.   I can tell you about this experience, and you can bear witness with the truth of it, but to truly KNOW it you must experience it for yourself. 

Some would ask, then:  “How do I have this experience?”   The only real insight I can give is to BELIEVE, TRUST, AND RELY ON SPIRIT TO GUIDE YOU TO THE TRUTH OF ONENESS WITHIN YOUR OWN BEING. 

This one thing I do know, I must first experience my ONENESS with the Creator as myself, only then can I really KNOW that I am truly ONE with ALL things created. 

Stilling the mind in the midst of activity

The word that I am hearing for now is to be conscious of and listen for the Voice of God, no matter what I am doing.  I was telling myself that I needed to be still so that I could hear from the Father.  My thought was that I needed to go sit on the couch, get still and let the Spirit speak.   

As I sat there waiting, my Lord said: 

“Why do you think that you need to come in here and sit down in order to hear My Voice?  Your mind is already on Me.  You are not resting in this moment, but you’re projecting to another time when your thoughts are that you need to sit down in order to hear me. Listen for my voice in whatever you are doing.  I tell you that you can hear My Voice in the midst of a storm, whatever that storm might be in your life.  

 If I were calling you to be still, you would know that drawing.  But if I am not calling you to be still, you will not find My Voice by stopping the flow of activity and trying to sit down and be still.  The place of stillness is in your thoughts.  When you are dwelling in thoughts of fear, doubt or unbelief, then you may well need to sit down and get still in order to hear My Voice.  But when you are dwelling in the mind of love and trusting that I will work in your behalf as you are taking care of the actions at hand, you will hear Me when I speak.”

 

You need only to stay conscious of My Spirit and keep your mind in the present moment.  In this awareness I can lead you in every activity that you are doing.    

When you start to look at all the items you have on your to do list and your thoughts start to become overwhelmed, remember to come back to the truth and re-affirm the faith you have in Me to accomplish through you all that needs to be accomplished.  Surely I will perform through you all that truly matters for that day.”    

It is easy for me to tell when my mind is dwelling in the truth.  I need only look at the thoughts I am thinking.  When I am moaning and groaning in my mind regardless of what the situation is about, I can safely bet that I am not living in the Christ mind.  Once I realize this, if I choose to stay in those thoughts then I am only prolonging my own exit from the hell I am creating in my mind.   

However, when I stop those negative thoughts and refuse to allow my mind to focus on hate, jealousy, envy, strife, judgments, and condemnation toward others; then I am releasing myself to live in a totally different state of mind.  The truth then returns and my whole attitude towards myself, and all of humanity, is transformed.   

I know the power of this truth because it is my experience in my life.  My thoughts have been in a state where I was hardly able to love my own family, let alone other people. However, when I rose up and stopped those thoughts, I was able to experience the love that flows to all of creation.  In my own strength I cannot stop the thoughts. But by giving myself to the truth of my being and allowing that Spirit to live and move and have Its being through me, to me and as me; then I am instantly set free to soar on thoughts of truth and love. Hallelujah!

Love and Life to all,

Fayrene

The Mind Of Christ

As I sat in communion with the Father I hear this truth for life:

"I have not given you a Spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.   Let this mind be in you that is in Christ Jesus.  There is no fear in perfect love  because perfect love casts out all fear.  Fear torments, love does not."

When we are dwelling in the mind of Christ there is no fear.  

So what is the mind of Christ and where is it?  It is that place within us that gives us the knowing that everything will be alright.  In that awareness, there is perfect peace.  We are assured that there is a purpose for all things; and we know what this purpose is.  We realize that all of life's experiences have been orchestrated to take us into our innermost being, which is the Christ of God.   When we have connected to our innermost being, we truly know and experience the truth that "in God we do live and move and have our being. "

Believe

I have been looking at the word coming to me from every direction and it is BELIEVE.

It is impossible to please God without believing. Why? We are made in God's image and what we believe, we think; what we think about, we say--thus creating our life to walk in.

What did God ask us to believe in? He asks us to believe that Jesus came to show us the true and living God, the LIFE that is in everything created, "LOVE." Jesus broke every law that man had set up as the way to God and showed man the real way; demonstrating it by being LOVE to all of humanity. He is my ensign to KNOW that this Love, which is the Christ that dwelt in Jesus, will resurrect through us all in all.

How can I say "In Christ, I do live and move and have my being", without truly believing? Believing what? That it is possible to be led by total LOVE that comes from the Spirit of Christ to me and then through me to be Love to all of Humanity. Whatever we believe will manifest in our world.

I believe that every atom and cell within our being will be changed as we have FAITH in TRUTH, LOVE, CHRIST to awaken us to KNOW the Truth of our very own being.

Jesus said, "Believe in me believe also in the Father that sent me." His prayer is that we be ONE with the Father as He and the Father are ONE. We are all sent into this earth walk to remember our true source of LIFE, the CHRIST. When we do remember this, we will all be the LOVE, LIFE, CHRIST in this earth and in these earthen vessels. All Glory and Honor unto God the creator of all Living things.

There are many great prophets and teachers but JESUS is the ONE that laid down His life by being nailed to the cross to demonstrate what the Father through Him said He would do. This LIFE will resurrect through us to heal us Spirit, Soul, and Body just as it did Jesus. I believe that all will come to this place but with believing it makes it possible for us to receive the power He has through us.

Be Still

As I meditate upon the Lord and all of the Spirit’s goodness unto the earth, I ask, “What are you saying to us at this time?”  My answer comes, “Be still.”   

To be still is to quiet the mind of all its clutter.  This clutter comes from the thousands and thousands of thoughts that run through it continuously.  The Spirit of Christ from within is always speaking.  We may even heard the message that the Spirit is speaking in our mind, but in all the other clatter it gets lost. 

 Have you ever just listened to all the thoughts that go through your mind to see how many there are?  I have a friend that calls that “rabbit tracking.”  When it is scared, a rabbit will dart one way and then turn another way and then another not knowing which way to go.  That is the way the mind does.  It will start one way on a thought and then before you know it that thought changes and the mind will take off on a completely different subject.  In order to hear from the depths of our being, we must be able to stop the “rabbit tracking” and focus on being still and having no thought.  

Once our mind is still and we do hear from the Spirit, it will bring peace.  The Spirit only desires to lift us up and doesn’t ever seek to condemn us. If there is something in our life that Spirit wants to show us that is in need of change, it will not condemn.  It will very gently show us a higher way to a more joyful life.  This enlightenment reveals the darker area within us that it can be transformed because it goes against the nature of Christ, which is also our true nature.  Seeing this lower nature within us, we then feel bad.  But our Lord will always remind us that this bad feeling we are having is taking away our joy.  There is no condemnation from our Lord.  We will hear, “It is okay, just go and sin no more."   

An example of this would be if we tell a lie.  The Spirit comes and reveals the higher way of truth. We then feel bad about the lie and we start condemning ourselves for lying. The Christ that lives within will say, “Go on with your life.  Should you start to lie again, just remember not to do that to yourself.  That nature of lying cannot enter into peace, which is the kingdom of God.” 

In order to live a more joyful life, we have to seize these natures and look at them as opportunities to remain focused upon the nature of Christ.  In this constant focus, we will become Christed.  To become Christed is to allow His nature to become our nature.   When His nature is revealed through us we live in peace and harmony inside ourselves and then in our interactions with others.

Fear Not

What do I hear in myself right now?  Sitting here at the computer what is my Spirit saying to me?  "Fear not for Lo I am with you even to the ends of the earth.  I will hold you up with my right hand and I will comfort you with my left and I will be your rear guard and I will send the angels out before you with my grace.  I will keep you in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on me."   

So I ask what does that really mean?  The answer to me is not to fear what man can do to you in anything that is in your life.  Trust the Creator that created all things for that life is able to control the energy coming from any of its creation.  Pray to God, God's energy is in all things created to resurrect.  When we ask and believe that God wants to work things to our good those whose minds are stayed on the Love of God toward His creation we need not fear anything. 

He will give authority over all thoughts that come out of the fear realm and He will comfort us and let us know that He is keeping us even in our lack of understanding on all things that we see.  Holy Spirit will over shadow the mind and bring us into perfect peace.  Holy Spirit will go before us with all the Holy Angels to prepare the way, meaning bringing us into contact with all those we are to meet in our earth walk. This is TRUE PEACE.  

“Lean Not To Your Understanding”

Lean NOT to your limited understanding.  What is happening on the Earth right now is BIGGER than what one or two minds can put together.  What is happening now is coming from a MUCH GREATER and UNLIMITED place and mind.  It is coming from the SOURCE of ALL LIFE!  Receive it and experience the JOY of it as it lifts our lives into a greater manifestation of THE RHYTHM OF LIFE!

“Rest”

Rest, Relax, and Trust in the process of life. Lean not to your own understanding and trust God. Remember to live in the moment that you're in to enjoy all that is before you. Remember that Love is the key to joy. Remember not to judge but let every moment be an opportunity to remain love. Remember that the love you are comes from within you and call upon the Holy Spirit.

 

Giving Way To Spirit

Today I just want to sit and write what I am feeling and hearing from within.  I feel the love of the Father unto me.  His love wants to flow like a river out of me.  He wants to flow from me out to all of creation to awaken the Spirit of this love that I feel and know that I am when I allow it to flow and have its way in me.  I then know that God is experiencing Himself in flesh.  To know that God is having His way with me to be in Spirit what I am called to do at this time and that is to awaken and stay awake to this truth--seeing and feeling my Spirit going out to all of creation, loving the all of creation and asking Christ to awaken in all things created. 

I am persuaded that there is no thing that can separate us from the love of Christ to us.  For it is the love of God that goes before us, and to receive that truth is to break the spell of something being wrong in our lives. All things are in order to bring us back to the remembrance of before we were formed in our mother’s womb Our God knew us and we knew Him.  That same God lives inside of us and is the very breath that we breathe. To know and experience that love flowing out of you to creation is ecstasy.   To walk in that at all times is my desire for myself and for all of creation.

I am very aware that the only way to experience that love that flows out from us like a mighty river is to give way to Spirit.  When, in our every day walk in life, we take every person, place, and thing that comes our way as an opportunity to remain love, the Spirit then has access over our minds of fear.  We then become that love and we are able to help change the course of the world. 

There is nothing grander than to let the Holy Spirit have access to our physical being to move through.  I know that I have been in that place of my body beginning to be stiff.  I know, by experience, that the only true healing comes when we can become one in ourselves Spirit, Soul, and Body.  Then great changes happen.  Our atoms and cells change as we sit in the oneness of our true being the Father of all things created.

In-Visible Man

Now hear the Spirit of the Lord say:

"Let me arise and stand, exposing all darkness inside each man,

that death be swallowed up in life, creating a visible God man

that all the world will know and see that I am in-visible man."

Prayer

It is very necessary at this time in this earth walk to pray. Prayer keeps us in touch with the truth of life. I am talking about praying for the presence of God for our lives.

I have, at one time in my life, prayed for things. However, I have learned that prayer of this kind can be, and most of the time is, disappointing. The things we are asking for seldom happen because we are asking from a material perspective on life. When things do happen, they are rarely as fulfilling as we thought they would be. The prayer that is necessary for now is the asking for the presence of the living God to be made known. In that presence we will hear answers for our lives.

Most of us have thought that the only time we are praying is when we consciously decide to pray. Of course that is directed prayer. The truth is that with our thoughts and words we are also praying. With our thoughts we gather energy and with our words we create.

The scripture tells us that "what ever you think on is what comes to you." That is how great companies get started. That is how everything in our lives is formed. It first is a thought. Next comes words to create it. This sets the principle of the universe in motion, "By our words we are justified and by our words we are condemned." (Matthew 12:37) We need to become aware that what we are thinking upon is gathering energy and creating something in our lives. Now, is that not exactly what prayer is? Or do we think the only time God hears us is when we say "Ok, now I'm going to pray."?

We must become aware that whenever we are speaking, it doesn't matter to whom we are speaking or where we are speaking it, the words are as a prayer to God. That is why I say that the directed prayer we should be praying is for the presence of the living God to be made known in our lives. In this way, the presence of God will make us aware of our every word and thought, that we might discipline our minds to speak and think only from the truth.

Holiness

"I am calling you to holiness,

NOT to the outward that man may see;

but to the inward that I may see --

a church stand before me without spot or wrinkle,

clear as the crystal sea

- that you might set the captives free!".

--word of the Lord through Fayrene

Reasoning

The creative word is now in force, to create your world by your own voice

The power of the tongue so misunderstood, most all create both bad and good

 

But if each would look inside their soul, they'd see the "Eve" from long ago

Yes, they would see the woman's nod, the one who chose to reason God

 

She chose to know both bad and good, from circumstances that she lived

The Father told her very strong, to leave this "reasoning" thing alone

 

But in her mind a "hiss" insist, "You'll be like God" This chance don't miss"

And so she questioned God's true word, and good and bad thoughts now she heard

 

Now is this true of you today?  Does good and bad thoughts your mind play?

Forgive "Eve" of her tragic ways, restore your life in God today

 

Whatever path your life may take, don't ever make this same mistake

Speak forth the life in all you see, don't reason God's authority

 

For you, too, are His holy son, sent to appear as Him in form

If you'll receive His word as true, you'll find His life in ALL you do!

-- Steve Fouty 7/89

Words

What prisons we create ourselves, what prison doors we close

Then from within these prison walls, we create such harmful foes

 

We battle foes both day and night, our words give them such power

Our mind is never found at ease, even in the midnight hour

 

But if we'd see the mystery, that Paul and Silas saw

We'd sing the song of the redeemed, and watch those prisons fall

 

For you see, we create the world in which we know, by the very words we speak

Every word expressed becomes some form, that we ourselves must meet

 

Do angels all around you dwell? or demonic forces hover?

If you'll look at the words you speak, you create one or the other

 

Jesus spoke of this reality, the power our voices send

"By your words you shall be justified, and by your words, condemned"

 

So may my words speak only truth, that truth my life will bring

And may the world I see reflect, the song of love I sing!

 

Acts 16:25, Matthew 5:44, 12:34-37

-- Steve Fouty 5/89

The Cosmic, Universal Dance of Life

I hear the Voice of Many Waters

waters running deep, waters running high

calling to me from a familiar, yet forgotten place

telling me not to lean on my own understanding...

 

Revealing a place of rest prepared for me

if I will lay down my beggars cup of earthly preoccupations

and turn once again to the reality 

of the cosmic, universal dance of life

of which I am a part of

and that we are all are a part of

 

Then I would realize that my destination is assured

assured by One who never, for one moment,

forgot the Truth that brought each one of us into existence

 

As I relinquish my temporal ways,

learned only recently in my eternal journey,

and hold fast to the first love that dawned in my heart

when I was given my initial breath of existence

and became a reflection of my Creators' divinity in individual expression;

I will usher in a way of living that is my true and natural birthright

 

Then I will offer up a song of gratitude to the Great Spirit

which brought me forth out of His Great Bosom

and gave me the opportunity to know and to be known

by Him and His living creation!

--Steve Fouty, August 10, 1992

Fayrene is putting together a book of her writings. Hopefully we will have the details on-line soon.
