"The Child Within Us Lives! A Synthesis of Science, Religion and Metaphysics"
By William Samuel
THERE ARE SUBJECTIVISTS and SUBJECTIVISTS
There are those who make a start in religion and metaphysics and then there are the really earnest people who don't stop overlong in the comfortable corners but keep going. The religious subjectivist—the metaphysician and the philosopher—who doesn't complete the interface from Mind to tangibility, and from tangibility back to Mind, is walking in a void of voids, allowing judgmentalism to destroy his inmost happiness while disclaiming the reality of matter. Moreover, he finds himself unable to do anything about the inescapable “unreality” that sticks to him like glue. These are the good but misled people who have stopped in Absoluty. In the absolute mode, one wears blinders to his knees. The disclaimer of matters reality is not the final subjectivism we are called to understand and live. Matter is not what it seems, but what it is, is to be understood and not denied.
The real subjectivists are those who have found the simple Child of themselves. These are the metaphysicians who enjoy the inclusive vistas of Metadelphia but aren't trapped there. The Child with his journal leads us straight through the heart of Calvinopolis, St. Doxy and Metadelphia—even through the prisons of absoluteness itself—through every closed door and through the thick walls of religion and metaphysics. The Child within takes us on to a BALANCE which we maintain as we hurry up the mountain, LIVING our subjectivism objectively in the world.
That balanced walk takes us along the narrow pathway of confirmation where we see the high ideal beginning to be perceived and lived in the world of men.
Somewhere near the peak, we and the Child become one in actual living fact, not just in metaphysical profession. We are given CONFIRMATION. In a new name, we reign over the All in all that exists within. That reign isn't a passive sitting back to enjoy the “fruits” of nirvanic bliss or subjective joy, but an active WORK in the world that elevates, heals, cleanses, inspires, and dissipates guilt, and in so doing, explains and answers the paradoxes of life. More, it puts wings on our feet and on the feet of those who see our Light. Atop Da Shan, one looks at the world and sees it again as did the Zen master who beheld the mountain “again” from the perspective of no mountain. This time we stop our endless denial of matter's reality or existence and see matter for the confirmation of God it represents. We stop chattering like monkeys about the inability of words to speak of Wordless Ineffability and begin saying it. We begin to understand the paradoxes of human living and, perhaps for the first time in our experience, we know what to do about them. More, we find ourselves with the ability and means to do something for our entire world—and we get off our butts and begin DOING it.
The journal we tend may seem to be only the smallest stirring in the cathedral. After all, how many mice scramble at the wiggle of a pencil? But soon we are drumming our fingers on the arm rail. Soon the sounds of our feet are rhyming the rhythm of the Child's celestial sounds and are doing something in the Cathedral and its gardens of Mind. We are in this world to do something good for all mankind.
The Child of us holds the hand of all mankind, and as the world responds, the Child knows it. The Child, as you surely know by now, holds the hand of Godhead—and God knows exactly what we have perceived in the Cathedral. The flow of the Child's Light pours from God through the tips of our fingers and from the words we speak. That flow is reflected back to us, delayed by time it seems, thence to return to Source, bearing evidence of our effort. Either we live this Equation or we don't. If we live it, we are alive. If we don't, we we are yet sleeping in the Light and little time is left for us to awaken.
The journal has been the means by which the me-sense of me has been aligned with the Child of Self, thence to be displaced by it. My journal has been my interface with God and man. Even now, those words are these words—and it can be exactly the same for the reader. All you must do is begin. See for yourself whether or not your own inmost thoughts don't begin to do wonderful things in your affairs.
They will. They will. No longer must the scholar, the psychologist, the minister or the practitioner do the stirring vicariously for you. You will do it for yourself. This matter of our saving grace is not up to the government or the church, the philosophy or system. It is a matter that takes place between ourself alone and God.

Sandy, thank you so much for helping me discover the CHILD. I wanted to share a little something that came to me since it has helped me so much. It is about the experience of life the CHILD has vs the experience of "the old man".
ReplyDeleteHow the CHILD sees things vs the old man.
When an eighteen wheeler truck goes by the house,
The Child sees:
a truck.
The old man sees:
“That thing is going to ruin our roads, they are way too loud. I wonder if breathing those fumes is going to harm my lungs? It’s getting harder and harder to find a peaceful place to live. Those truckers are going to cause an accident on these small country roads. I wish they would pass a law against them driving in these areas where I live.”
When the news is on tv
The Child sees:
A man sitting at a desk talking.
The old man sees:
“There are so many terrible things going on. My country is in ruins. I’m so angry at this government. What’s WRONG WITH PEOPLE?? The world is in a terrible shape and people are so evil.”
When the sun is shining the child sees:
The sun shining.
The old mean sees:
“I think the world is getting way too warm. How are we going to survive this global warming?
How long has it been since it rained? Shouldn’t we be having more rain? What are we going to do about the climate? Pretty soon there will not be enough food because of all of this global warming! I’m really worried about it.”
Oh thank you too Sweet Child Heart. This is a simple and brilliant Glimpse you had. I love the easy clarity of it. Yes, the Child sees the big truck and claps her hands in a thrill of joy! Wow big truck! The old man grumps and complains. That is it-- You got it! It has been such joy to see all the Beauty of you shining so bright in our world. That William and I have been here for you is wonderful to hear. I love you
