Chapter 1 Page 6 : Two Covenants

Page 6.

The moment you start living your life not in the world, but in the invisible, in the reality, in your understanding of the presence of God where you stand, you will discover that a new substance is forming in you, Christ forming in you is the new substance. ( cf. Galatians 4:19 ;  My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,)

Now there are various techniques that are used to live this life of reality, as contrasted to the make believe life of material form in appearances and when you have not mastered the art of the new kind of silence that we are coming to, then you find even though the heart is willing and you give the time and the devotion to the task, you still can fail, you can still put in the hours without the harvest.

To stop dying, you must see that all dying is done in time, you will never hear a more important lesson, than the lesson about living in eternity and dying in time, because that is the absolute clue, to the illusion of life and the reality of life. When you find possessions in time, that is exactly where you will lose them, in time. Now Ishmael was born into time, when you're born into flesh you're born into time and that's where you die, in time. When you're born in the Spirit, you're born in eternity and you cannot die in eternity, it is impossible to die except in time and when you have mastered not living in time, you cannot die, you really can stop dying.

Living in time, is the natural endowment of every child born in the mother's womb, it is born in time, it grows up in time, it has its experience in time and all of these are world thought forms, having no relationship to God, no divine law to sustain them, they are the outer appearances and they die.

When Jesus stepped out of time, into Spirit it was impossible for death to ever come to his door and also it was impossible to those lacks and limitations that occur only in time to touch him. When you take advantage of your options which say you have a choice, you can elect to be reborn out of time, then you're catching the idea that we who are born in time are here for a purpose and it is to be reborn in eternity. We have never been given that opportunity as clearly as it is given to us when we see the full picture of reality.

Born into time, we can elect Grace, we can literally decide to accept divinity and be reborn out of time and while we are living out of time, we also have the privilege of watching the fruits, of what we're doing out of time, move into appearances in time, to show us what we are doing out of time. The world becomes our vast television set, on which we can see exactly what we're doing in the invisible, while it appears in the visible as a perfect chart or gage or index, and that is the reason there is a world in time, not for to live in it, but for you to use it as a chart, to show you the progress you're making in the spiritual universe.
