Book of Innocence

The Manifestation trilogy; book II, Channeled by Paul Selig (a summary by Pat Evert)

• Introduction: Presence and Being

The True Self manifest as you, knows itself beyond time, beyond all those things you thought were insurmountable. This is the time humanity chose to reclaim its true nature. You have all been reared in fear, and the Christed Self does not hold fear. It is innocent. Everything will be remade in the higher template of the Upper Room. The realization that you are one with God, is a completely different level of vibrational accord. This is done through accord—not through proselytizing, not through writing pamphlets and handing them out on street corners. It is presence and being that will do the work. The Book of Innocence is a reclamation of the truth of yourselves in its most pure state, your being without fear, in love. All are going to be fully realized. This is not done with speech, but through presence and being. What we ask of you is an offering of the self that says — “Give me what I want, and now,” to release the need for desire. And your innocence, your true beauty in restoration, is the gift you will receive.

PART I – IDENTITY

• I Am Known

We suggest that you move to allowance, to the state of being, in the Upper Room, where all is met by you in agreement to its Source. Any true need will be met by Source. You are moving to a level of alignment, where your requirements are met by presence and being. When you are openhearted, when you are willing to know yourself as worthy of what you desire, love will find you, yes, because it is you that is present for it. Please stop seeking and begin allowing. You are not allowing God to be God because you are so busy telling God what it should be. When one denies the Divine in herself, she has immediately denied the Divine in all things. You assume the Divine does not know you, does not know your heart’s desire, and does not wish what you wish. Your relationship with Source must be predicated on an agreement that God knows who you are. You are always in God because you cannot not be. What is served in the Upper Room is always in agreement to your true needs. Being made new means re-known in God, of God, and as God. You have returned to innocence. The innocent heart does not seek to punish, does not seek to rule, does not seek to gain at the cost of another’s loss. To make a new agreement that God knows you as you are, with your shame, with your courage, with your predilection for this or that, with the habit you can’t seem to break, with the difficulty that you address your relationships. Let all things be known. The claim is: “I Am Known. I Am Known. I Am Known.” If you cannot allow the Divine to know you, and we suggest it already does, you will continue to seek to meet your needs. When you offer your shame to the Divine, it is transformed. When you offer your longing to God, it is known anew.  

The Divine will not lie. It will not exclude. It cannot. This means you have claimed the Kingdom, and indeed are the expression of it, and your presence and being will be available to all. Today is opportunity to release and to recognize your participation in the ideas that have held you in separation. The higher alignment will guarantee one thing—that you are no longer choosing in fear. When the True Self claims things, it is operating from a different sphere, a recognition of Source and abundance in Source. The one who feels denied in love may know love in a new way. We do not intervene in your personal lives as much as remind you who you are and what you may claim therein. The truth of your being is transmitted by being. So you no longer are required to state it. Your field is a blessing to all you encounter. You are the presence of God upon this thing seen. You are no longer trying to fix people. You claim the presence of the Divine upon what you see. You are aligning what you see, to the truth that is infinite, that is ever-present. Heresy is not claiming you are Christ. Heresy is claiming you are the only one. Now, many of you say, “Can this happen in my lifetime?” It is now. It is now. It is now. And presence and being is the expression of now. You learn through your experiences and you learn by your choices. Your liberation is here, and for one reason: You have said yes. Each of you are present for a re-knowing of self beyond the structure of personality. When you claim, “I am Word” through this or that, you claim the action of the Divine upon this thing or that. “I am Word through that memory of my pain” is actually far more effective than what happened. 

I am ready now to forsake the idea of self that was so indoctrinated by fear. The gift you each bring to this world is the identity you have reclaimed in the Upper Room as the True Self. This is not a structure of identity that has been manufactured. It is the essence of yourself, the true nature of your being. To assume that your True Self is polite, is nice, does what she’s expected to do, would be confused. The great “I Am,” yes, but not “I am Sheila” or “I am Roger.” The manifestations of this world, without fear, will align you to your true natures – the Word, the true nature of all things. The defilement of the manifest world is sown in greed and denial of the Divine. Heresy, in fact, is the innate denial of divinity in what you see and experience. You contaminate the world with more and more fear. The Christ expression is pure, untainted by fear. It’s a reclaiming of what was once laid in waste, what was once defiled, what was once left in ruin, to be re-known in love, and consequently resurrected. When memory itself is reclaimed as the Monad, the fear that memory has held, may be known anew. All memory is based on a false premise, born in identity that has been manifested in a fearful realm. 

• Memory 

The strata of vibration that has been the lower realm has been your schoolhouse. When the Upper Room becomes your schoolhouse, you are given new lessons, new ways in which to learn. By lifting to the Upper Room you become participatory to the reclamation of the very things that have hindered the collective. You are not your history. You are not what happened to you. Separation is a vast lie. True knowing, true expression, and true being has been prohibited by a lie. The collective memory of separation is a radical one. Realization is knowing. In other words, you are not excluding the Divine from any fabric of your expression. You must move towards these things in receptivity. The personality self, is reinterpreted, re-known, in the Upper Room. As the collective lifts, as this is recognized, new choices can be made. You cannot do this work and blame your brother or sister for your misfortune. To do so is to enable separation. These are opportunities to learn. “I am willing to absolve myself for the memories I hold that have incorporated as personality that deny my True Self.” The memory is faulty. The idea of identity, informed by memory, can indeed be reclaimed beyond the old. Your ideas of who you are, are in most ways relational, obstructions to realization. We are re-identifying you each beyond the ideas of self, and reclaiming you each in a new way. All that stands in the way of the present moment is your memory. The one who believes he cannot be loved holds his history of lovelessness and his memory of it as a shield that would stop him from receiving the love that is already present. You are not releasing what happened. You are releasing the misidentification. When you release the need to claim identity through past ideas, you move fully into the present moment, where indeed all things may be made new. It’s about re-comprehending the essence of your being, and aligning to the higher. When the costume is discarded and the mask is released, when the masquerade is ended, what is there in truth is resplendent—the Divine Self, who doesn’t require a mask, allows her full expression to be claimed. The embellishment of memory disfigures identity. The Divine Self operating as this being will seek to reclaim every aspect of her, and in doing so must release the belief that she is known through shadow only. It is not that it did not happen. It is true that it is not who you are. “On this day I choose to allow all aspects of self to be re-known, and I comprehend myself beyond any memory. I am free.” 

It is so easy to deny the body its true nature when it doesn’t do what you want, look as you wish it to look, etc. You will not align in the Upper Room in a new state of comprehension if memory itself seeks to block the divinity that is always yours. Your realization of divinity is in fact a restorative act. Many of you would rather invest in a lie than be reclaimed, this separate self will always have a thousand examples of why God cannot be. The claim “God Is,” is the antidote to the denial of the Divine. To be free of sin is to be free of the denial of the Divine. The reclamation of memory is not denying what happened. It is knowing what happened in a true way. The body itself, is primed for the present moment. It was created for this. You are also being claimed by us as a wave of vibration—that reclaims memory. Allow the idea of self to be reclaimed in the high octave that is the Upper Room. When you are the light, you don’t have to walk around announcing it. You simply are. When you are the light, you do not seek to illumine things. Things are illumined by your presence in a tangible way. All things are reclaimed to Source through your presence and being. Now, your form is altered, through your recognition of your inherent divinity. When you stop aligning to an idea that was claimed in separation, you are no longer supporting it with a sense of identity, you lift beyond it. The demands that things be as they should be is released, the aspect of self that has been born through history. This is less about comfort than receptivity. You are being at a level of tone where all things are made new, and your recognition of this is not much different than your awareness of the color of your eyes. 

Every choice you make becomes the opportunity for a higher degree of presence. We have attempted to make this very simple for all of you. This is not theology. This is an agreement. The choice you make in this alignment is to become the doorway for others. Now, this is again not done through proselytizing. It is done through presence and being. The Upper Room is the divine gift of experiencing God as the beings they are. The gift of the kingdom is not deciding what must be so. It is knowing what is. You must be here without the mask. You don’t need the mask. You need to allow the truth of your expression, the True Self, the Christ that is resurrected as you. Sin is not bad behavior. Sin is simply the denial of the Divine. All Gods are one God. You are reborn, and what reborn is, is re-known in a state of innocence, which has been interpreted to mean without blemish and without sin. The denial of the Divine, which is indeed the source of lack, is not present at this level of tone, so what is claimed here is already yours. God cannot hold a grudge, nor deny you entry to the Upper Room. This is mostly unfathomable for most of you, because you still hold a God that is wagging its finger and saying, “Do it my way, or else.” The small self is vindictive, and vindictiveness masks itself in self-righteousness. A loving God must be released from your prescriptions of what a loving God is. “A loving God is gentle, merciful as I say it should be. It is a gentle breeze. It is a loving whisper.” God is also thunder. God is all things, not what you wish. You are claiming a realization of what God is through the direct experience of it. Not only are you known. You are loved. When we speak to you about God, we speak of infinite presence, that which has no beginning and no end. Each of you are part of this, the Eternal Self that is the Christ. 

• The Truth of Being 

What humanity requires now is a transition to a level of tone where it will stop replicating fear. The transition beyond this fear requires that you agree to something other. You are divine. You are all divine. You cannot aspire to divinity. It is your true state of expression.

Anything that you hate you are denying the Divine in, be it the body you hold, the behavior of another. And the gift you are truly offering the other is the release of an expectation of who and what they should be. Then there is nothing to hate. Now, the gifts of the Kingdom may not be what you wish, but they will always be what you require to support you in the movement towards unification. The challenges you face is the agreement to truth where truth is not convenient. Almost all of you deny what is offered to you, because you have an idea of what it should look like. Forgive yourselves for not being where you think you should be. Stop denying what you can have because it doesn’t resemble your idea of what it should be. 

Your idea of who you are, operating in distortion, placates the small-self structure, but requires it to operate within the confines of a false kingdom. You may meet your four o’clock appointment, but be in eternity in the same time. The senses operate differently in the Upper Room. They are no longer held in abeyance by should, or the prior expectations. What you don’t understand now is that you are already in infinity, and the illusion is time, the illusion is the manifest world. It is all God. 

The big change that is upon you now is a reclamation of presence and being as the expression that you identify through. You believe yourselves stuck. You have never been stuck. You believe yourselves limited. You have never been limited. But you have agreed to limitation, and predetermined outcome through it. Not only do you illumine the world, but everything that you encounter is illumined by presence and being. We quite simply mean you are not trying to fix anything. There are levels of alignment you will not attain until you move beyond the lies that you have partaken in. Go back to what you had? It will not happen. Claim what you would desire in the old way? It cannot occur. What occurs in its place is a reconciliation of all that the Divine has been denied in. You will not claim another in darkness because there comes a point when you simply cannot. It is a simple state of expression, presence and being. 

This world is being made new in a high way and can never be the same. When you move to the Upper Room in vibration, you have begun a journey, and a great journey, in a consciousness that has not been born and raised in limitation. Indeed, you like being right—not nearly as much as you like making another wrong. We intend to take you on a return to innocence or to your own Christed nature. Permission is necessary. When the lens of separation is not present, what is expressed is everything that exists beyond it. The only rules that you will abide by are the rules born in truth, and you must become liberated from the old evidence, or the old systems, that would bind or tether you to the low field. Separation is only an idea, and its dissolution in the Upper Room is the promise of this teaching. Reality itself being assumed in a higher octave of experience wherein all things are made new. The restoration to a state of innocence—to the garden, if you wish—is a process, yes. If you sit and you allow the body to reclaim its essence—“I know what I am in truth”—and allow this essence, the body as sound and tone in vibration, not solid, you would begin to experience the body itself beyond the separation you have known it through. The energetic field is simply another expression of vibration. And the Monad in vibration as the highest articulation that one may know while maintaining form. We trust now that as humanity is restored to its innate nature — that which has denied your innocence is being moved, claimed in a higher way.

• Reconciliation 

You can’t think of it as something to be achieved, but as agreed to. Our intention for you is to have an experience of your own divinity. You say you want union, but you fight what you don’t like, damn who you disagree with. To be redeemed is not to be better than another. It is to be re-known as you truly are. To fully agree to something is simply to allow it to be. The intellect cannot contain this because the intellect is so informed by the ideas of the times that you sit in, that it would deny what it cannot fathom. You sit today at the beginning of a passage towards innocence. When memory is reclaimed and no longer tainted by the obstruction of fear, when desire is met in God and offered to God to be in high service, when you say, “I am willing,” you actually give permission for the process to continue in the most perfect way. You’ll be a little less protective of what it should be, because you may begin to trust what is. If you wish to rush the Kingdom, we guarantee you will have a very difficult time. To be reclaimed by the Divine Self that is already manifest is to move into an agreement with what you are already in this high octave of expression and experience. The affect of this agreement, is the release of separation. This grants you the agreement to know the self beyond the separate self, because the Manifest Self is what you have now aligned to. Allow the self that you have known, to be in an encounter with the aspect of self that is fully realized here, that does not doubt, does not fear, no longer experiences itself in separation. As I say yes to this, I say yes to God as all that is and can be. The Manifest Divine, already in its perfected state, is now assuming you. You are abiding in the presence of God. Presence and being. 

Your experience of all things is what is changed. In fact, what you are seeing is what has always been so, but was denied. God is knowing itself through the experience of being you. It is seeing all things, both as itself and through you. Now, when you lift to a science that is not born in fixing things, you have moved to a science that is operating in alchemy. Restoration, reconciliation, is not invention. It’s the reclamation of what is true as who you are, as what you experience, as all things are made new. The state of innocence must be understood as without the idea of separation, because your idea of sin, or what we call the denial of the Divine, is separation, and abiding in the illusion of it. Your idea of fun in most ways is based in the idea of forgetting the self. The sacred and the profane are actually the same thing. But the sacred knows God. The profane denies it. The moment you sit in is always the moment of receipt. The portal we speak to now is the awareness of being and presence in a unified state. The very purpose of this text, is a reclamation of innocence. Innocence does not hold deceit. It does not deny God. It doesn’t even need a God that it can describe. To step through this portal in a unified state is to enter the Kingdom. You have not lost will. You have reclaimed will to its true purpose: to be in awareness of all things of God. You are actually supporting a new mandate—that man will not war, that the end of war is here, fear, will be re-known. 

The species that you are of is embarking on a new way of being— without separation. The True Self will claim what you require. You are no longer scavenging, pleading, or demanding. The teaching of being is reception and allowing the Divine to know itself through you. “Behold, I make all things new. It will be so. God Is. God Is. God Is.” Give permission for the manifest world that is God in tone to say yes in response to the claim. And allow the echo of the claim to assume you in union. You are invoking presence through being. The great lie is that you are separate from your Source, separate from the one beside you, separate from all things that can be known. The recognition of unity is born in an agreement to truth. The realization that “God Is” in the fiber of your being and in every thought. And what is a lie, but that another is unworthy. 

Change is before you. When humanity says yes to a new potential, that which has been claimed in fear is re-seen in what we call the Upper Room for the benefit of all. It is not codified in fear. It is born in the release of fear. Humanity is undergoing such a change, and it’s going to be quite clumsy for some time. Your realization of union at a higher level than you can fathom through the personality structure is the gift of this time. This is already so. What is actually happening is a return to your rightful identity—as and of God, not separate from it. Innocence is the true state of expression that the Divine Self aligns and holds, and, indeed, manifests. Innocence lacks prescription, lacks your idea of what should be. None of you are without God, but most of you believe yourselves to be. None of you are sinful. All of you believe yourselves to be. Separation and the denial of the Divine is the illusion that humanity is now removing. Your true nature is innocence. You are being restored to your true nature. You are going to work, you are feeding your child, you are reading a book, and you are always doing this at the level of tone that you may claim in the Upper Room. The Upper Room is not an escape from reality. It is a reclamation of reality. The days of learning through separation are ending. Be present. For indeed, the time is now for all things to be made new.

PART II – INNOCENCE

• Beyond Sin

To trust the Divine Self is to simply trust your own knowing. You are not denying God in self or in others. You are not deciding what God should be through prior prescription. You are aligning to God. You cannot be deceived at this level. The Monad can only know. It does not presume or expect. It simply knows. And to act upon it for the benefit of all. To operate from knowing ennobles others to operate at the same level. The one who knows herself in union with Source is not rushing, is not cutting to the front of the line, is not demanding who others be. You just begin to trust that your needs are being met in high and perfect ways. Knowing is an act of receptivity. In the Upper Room, there are no landmines. You are moving to a landscape where all things are indeed made new. Every time you decide that an act that was done in fear can be re-known and reclaimed, you are lifting in vibration. 

There is no sin in the Upper Room. The new world, is without the old bias and the need for retribution that you have rested so heavily upon. You are not improved in the Upper Room. You are, in fact, made new there. Nobody is good enough, and everybody is good enough. Nobody is pure enough, and everybody is pure at the level of Monad, which is in fact innocence. The denial of the Divine is the only issue you contend with, and you will not face this by pretending you are worthy, but by allowing for the Divine to reclaim any aspect of self that is operating in fear or choosing denial. The action of the Divine upon the thing held in darkness is what reclaims it, not the work of your hands, but your agreement to the action of the Source of all things. A belief in a sense of separation must be released in order for the True Self to manifest. Too many of you suffer needlessly. Too many of you deny the self the good that is already yours. The evolution of the species is the restoration of innocence, or humanity’s true nature, beyond the idea of separation, which has always been a lie. How the world appeared through the distortion of separation will soon be replaced by a higher awareness, that the action of the Divine is upon what you see. Because the Monad exists in eternity, it is not hindered by the rules of time or space. The great obstacles that have been faced by those who have been reared through the idea of fear or separation will not be so in coming generations. The agreement to partake in this realization is made at the level of the soul.

Nothing is outside of God. The claim “God Is, God Is, God Is,” in realization, transmutes matter, lifts the veil of separation. When the world does this, when humanity has lifted to the Upper Room, the idea of borders as you have known them that must be protected with arms will indeed fall away. You give others permission to be themselves, and you know them as they truly are, beyond the old evidence of separation or your belief in right and wrong. To know the one who committed the worst crime as worthy of love. To reclaim the one who has been put in darkness is to know them beyond sin. You do not deny the pain. You do not deny the Christ in the one who harmed you. You realize the Divine as them, through the act of the Creator serving as you. To forgive the one who has done the most harm, is to bring something to the light that will heal the world. War is not ended by a great battle. War is ended when the consciousness that has claimed war is transformed to one of peace. The calamity that you have known, the only real calamity—which has been separation—is ended, not for one, but for all. The only challenge humanity faces is the claim of separation from its Source. Lest you brace yourself for a battle when what is needed is love. And the old template will one day be forgotten because all of the evidence it once accrued, in the denial of the Divine, will have been re-known. The Kingdom is present. It is here. And your agreement to this is what claims it into being. 

All choice has ramification. And any choice may be lifted to the higher octave, and a new world may be claimed. The operation that you are undergoing now in restoration claims all that you encounter to the Upper Room in an experiential way. Now, when we say experiential, this simply means you are no longer telling yourself what is. You are experiencing what is. You are not defining what is. You are knowing what is. There will be a period of confusion, because what you expected to be will not be, and the new is not fully formed. The resolution that things should be as they were—again, an act of choice—must now be released. Each of you who says yes to this is operating in an altered field, is agreeing to a higher potential. To be in co-resonance with the higher is to make it so. What you have chosen to reclaim is the Divine as all things. It is the expectation you may hold. The one who perceives the view from the twentieth floor perceives far more than the one in the cellar. You are doing this now. To wait for God in a cloud to save you is to deny that you are the emissary, to deny that you are the activation of the Divine Spark expressed as presence and being. This experience will come in stages. You are still polluting. You are still damning the environment by ignoring the Divine in the environment. You have been granted the gift of co-creation. The higher will always reclaim the lower, because the consciousness that holds the choice is re-knowing all things as of God. 

Sin is an agreement to fear. The realization of the Divine as your neighbor reclaims the neighbor beyond the idea of sin. You know yourself as known, and consequently know all things. In your restoration to your own innocence, you are received by the great Source in an awareness of the innocence of all. The change that comes is of God. This is done through you. You are not striving for this. You are reciting a claim that has great power. You are invoking the amplitude of the Creator through experience—not through conjecture, supposition, or wishful thinking. You are participatory to the action of God. 

• A World Made New 

True innocence is a restored state of knowing and being. And to operate as the innocent is to move to the idea that all things are Source. The idea of what it means to be a man, the idea of what God is, the idea of being a father or child, history itself is re-known. It is now being replaced by an awareness of the whole. So what is re-created here will not hold the seed of the old. You are no longer replicating the idea of necessity, because necessity has been altered because you have moved to the Source of supply, which is the Upper Room.   

“How I identify myself, has its moorings in a belief in separation.” Your idea of self, born through the template of separation, is about to be re-known in a coherence to Source—that cannot be abandoned or ignored. To realize the Monad as self is to agree to it in expression, expressed as Monad, because it is the truth of your being. When one is made new, one experiences the world anew. What is perfect is for you to know, the experience of God as All That Is. Every idea you’ve ever held was known through separation. And denial of the Divine which humanity has chosen to learn through, is indeed now moving beyond separation.  

When you decide another is worthy of your attention or love, the human being you see is actually transformed by that agreement. To know another in God does not necessarily require you to show up for them as they demand. But it does mean you love them, through the claim of love upon them: “God Is, God Is, God Is” in their presence and expression. Love reclaims what it encounters in the Source of all things. Wonderful actions have always occurred from the one who can hold love in spite of evidence to the contrary. True love requires no recompense. Anybody who tells you that you should love them back is operating in need. You decide that God should look pretty. God is all things. 

What is beginning to happen is that one, and then many, are taking the glasses off and re-seeing a world. It looks like the end of an era. There is often conflict, because those who wish to maintain the old status quo may do all in their power to stop change from occurring. The moment you take your glasses off, it is already there. “God Is. God Is. God Is.” You, all of you, are the one who is changing here. The glasses come off. The witness is present, the world is reclaimed. 

Any identity that operates in the negation of the Divine can and will be moved, to a level of vibration where they may be re-known. There is nothing more powerful than the true nature of the Divine, and as you escalate in vibrational expression, you will be reconciled in the high octave. Imagine now that you are in an elevator, going past many, many floors. You are moving beyond and above things, that now are being reclaimed, in the high order of the Upper Room. When one knows herself in innocence, beyond the idea of sin and separation, one moves mountains. There is nothing you could do, that could make us love you less.

Matter as being seen as God in expression, reclaims it beyond the old idealization. You may experience the self as the Divine in perception, you are also being altered by the recognition as the Divine sings back to you. All of those titles and all of those frames can be re-known through the singular thought and claim of truth: “God Is. God Is. God Is.” The one who sees God knows God. The manifestation of the claim will be known experientially, without judging what it sees. What has prohibited re-creation, which is the old idea of lack, born in fear and separation, is eradicated. We are not asking you to see the ghetto as palace. We are asking you to see God. You are perception. To reclaim anything in innocence is to know what it is beyond any name given to it. It simply is. “God Is. God Is. God Is.”

The Christ within you, in a realized state, is manifesting for the world. The idealization of who one should be in the manifest plane will be eradicated in time, as an eraser reclaims the old writing. And this must be done for you to move into receipt of your true gifts, your true agreements, beyond the personality’s desire to be what it thinks it should. You are here to be expressed as love.

You are here for service, for the awakening of others. It means you realize them beyond the constructs they have utilized to negotiate their own realities. You counter any evidence that would deny the Divine with the claim of truth—“God Is, God Is, God Is.” Now, to be restored to innocence does not mean you are uncorrupting something. It means you are reclaiming what has always been, at a level of vibration where it may be experienced. Not for a moment are you improving another. You are remembering what has been forgotten. Who you are seeing in truth is the Divine in form expressed as the one before you. To know the self in innocence is actually to be re-known, in the clarity and love that is the Upper Room. 

• True Mind 

The True Self, who indeed knows, will seek to claim what is highest. Imagine the machete in the shed was used for harm. When the machete is re-known as of God, it may be re-known in a high octave. Anything that has been damned holds the key to damnation. And the thing must be re-seen—not excused, not made well, but re-seen as of God so that the manifestation of it may be reclaimed. All ideas of self are born in separation. When the separation is released, the names are released, the idolatry that each has been given, how important they are, is also transformed. There will be no more victims and no more victors through the old idea. You don’t ignore the evidence. You see beyond the evidence that has been accrued. You must see what was done in harm and reclaim it. To reclaim the new, you will release the need to punish and harm the ones you claim in fear. What stands before you today, is a promise of the new— a guarantee of what will be made so at the higher level you may align to. The restatement of who and what you truly are in a pluralized state—of the whole, one of all. The lifting to the new requires that you release your old armor, drop the requirement for a battle that you have always expected. The gift of this teaching is re-articulation at a massive scale. Our claim for each of you, is that you be restored to your inherent divinity in your expression, presence and being.

The agreement to align to the high octave of the Upper Room, is claiming what you see, and how you may act upon what is seen. Our identity as True Self, as the Monad in expression, is for the benefit of all. Those of us who have known form, and transcended the idea of form, are able to claim a world that we express through. You are operating in two different strata simultaneously. The manifest world in an altered state is seen through the eyes and the level of consciousness that comprehend eternity. What you begin to experience in a manifestation is what can only be. The one whose life is translated in this way is claiming a new agreement for the world as a whole. You are moving now beyond the idea of memory and the meaning things have been endowed with. The agreement to love is made known to you. Your experience on this new shore is as the one who knows All That Is because it implies lack of separation. All That Is cannot hold separation because you are of All That Is. It is happening now and an accurate assessment of the experience of many. Your eyes will have been moved to a world made new, a claim upon the world in universal agreement to presence and being. The doubt that you have, Paul, is the idea of self that seeks to moor itself to an old post while the floodwaters are rising. Let go of the post. Allow the lifting to occur, and trust the process. But know that the world is made new through the realization of the omnipresent Divine upon what is seen. If you want a new world, let it be the world you cannot imagine. Let it be the world that seeks to be born.

The world is always given an opportunity to re-decide what this thing can and will mean. Anything that you witness, you are in accord to. The eyes that see beyond the eyes that knew the old are also operative, which is the mind beyond mind, or the plural expression of Divine Mind that is innocence. The innocent mind holds no dictate and no expectation, which is why what is simply is. The aspect of True Mind that is indeed eternal, does not negotiate anything. To be in innocence is to be in ceaseless truth. Because you are not assigning meaning, what you are beginning to do is restore to what always was. You are claiming the world made new as it already exists in True Mind. You are claiming what was, what is, and what will always be. Presence and being is the key to the entire teaching of this text. The perfect tone that is the Divine seeks itself in all things. The realization of the tone has absolutely nothing to do with your emotional state, or your intelligence, because it is the energetic body in a restored state that claims the sound, that joins others in like sound, a resounding yes.

Now, to be the Monad incarnate is in fact to be who you truly are. It is not a superhuman ideal. You are in a manifest state that can claim all things new. Now, in great loss, in very deep ways you unattach to what was, because you know what truly is, and because you abide in the presence of God. This does not necessarily mean that things would go as you would wish, you are not dictating outcome, because you trust the Creator. And as you meet God through God’s creations, all things are lifted by presence and being. True Mind is the moving beyond this idea of separation, at a level of agreement where you cannot agree to separation because you know it’s folly. To allow God to be God, to allow God to be visible, seen and expressed. And God will liberate you from a set of expectations. The Monad makes the claim “Behold, I make all things new” because it must by its nature of presence and being. The Manifest Divine, truth re-seen by the Monad in its restoration. It is only the idea of self as separate that stands in the way of union. Your idea of self does not preclude the Monad expressing as you. What is always true is that there is an aspect of you that is already in coherence with the True Self and the Manifest Divine that is all things. And True Self, we suggest, is the manifestation of the Monad at an individual level, because you are still operating as a self. When the Monad expresses as soul, you become a universal being, and the names you have given yourselves while maintaining form mean very little. In other words, the light that you are, in coherence with all the light there is, stops thinking of itself as singular because it knows it cannot be. You are being restored to a state beyond identity as a singular being, through the action of the Divine, without losing singularity. The Monad in the Upper Room, claims the individual beyond the idea of separation that has been the bane of existence. You become aware of what we call the mind beyond mind, or the self beyond self. It’s to understand what it means to be both singular and plural simultaneously. We have taken you to the twenty-fifth floor, invited you to see the view. We live beyond this. While we may know ourselves in individuated ways, we never know ourselves as separate from the others.  

Now, your part in this is much easier than you think. It’s the agreement to what is. Not summoning it, nor demanding it. Agreeing to it, just as you agree to the idea of sky and sea. Manifestation at this level is not to forget the idea of who you were. It’s to know who you are. This does not exclude old mind or old self. The old has moved because it is time and the new that is present now is becoming visible. You are being brought closer and closer to the new, resplendent in truth, and without the need for separation, which is all that has hindered the perception of what it has always been: God as… As this tone is sung, we are reclaiming all things. When we sing, we sing in reclamation and the restoration of each individual to her true innocence. We have sung, we have instructed, and we now say yes to the mission before each of you: To offer the self in your love, in your agreement to what is. 

• Epilogue

In a new awareness of who you are, the awareness which is the Divine operating through you. The alignment you hold is already in congruence with High Mind. It is accrued through experience—not discipline, not implementation, but simple experience. The new experience actually overrides desire that is born of fear, which is actually dissipating and realigning in this high octave. No one knows God in fullness because “God Is,” just as you will never know the ocean in its entirety, but you may know the joy of being immersed and floating in it. Any challenge you meet must be seen as opportunity. Our experience of you—you the student or the reader—is different than you may assume, because we actually understand you beyond any idea of self you could ever hold. Where you stand today— is in re-identification. The language the book is written in, is in the language of True Mind. You understand yourselves well beyond the old.
