Journal Tending

Why keep a journal? It can become one of the most important activities in our life. There is a synergistic power in writing. For instance, twenty-five years ago [1955] I began talking about awareness, using that very word in my small experience. Now my external world hangs on “awareness” as if it were a flagword to all wisdom in the human sphere of things. That word and its significance arrived in my experience as I wrote in my journal. I began using it in conversation—and eventually wrote a book about it. Now, many years later, the ideas in that book are becoming common knowledge in the world, and it all started as I sat with pencil in hand.
One will notice that a Glimpse comes and, if we COMPLETE the transaction, that Glimpse enters our world to enlighten it. That is how it works—as it has been proven to me time and time again. Our world is SUBJECTIVE. It is in our hands. If anything is to happen to help our view of the world, it begins right here with us. How? As we complete the INTERFACE. We get the Glimpse. We live it, tell it, give it, share it as quickly as seems sensible, and in the doing, we put ourselves in the position to RECEIVE more Glimpses to give—and our world is steadily “improved”—awakened—seen as it really is—as Life confirms our Glimpses.
I don't think one even begins to realize how much he can do for his world until the subjective nature of things is comprehended at least in part. This knowledge arrives slowly, “line upon line...” but now it rushes in as if a floodgate has been lifted, acknowledging and confirming my willingness to give what I have been given. Throughout the day—and at every turn—there is an event, a “happening,” that proves once again that “my” world is here in my hands, and if the Light of Life is to be seen in it, I am to BE the Light of Life for my world. It isn't false Light we try to be, as a satanic influence in the world trying to emulate the works of God, the action that brought the Angel of Light to be cast down. Rather, we await the Glimpses and tell of THEM. I let the human experience of years count as nothing, and tell only of the Glimpses, the REAL and the GOOD and the TRUE. That is, I'm GIVING my light, my Glimpses and Glimmers, to “my” world and watching the world take that Light and start LISTENING TO GOD! THIS is what journal tending is all about.
“Listening to God” is the MODE that writing in the journal puts one into! Therein lies the value of writing and journal tending. WHAT we write isn't half as important as the MODE which writing puts us into. In those moments we are not caught up in the world, but are quiet and receptive. In those moments we aren't frantically reacting to the scenes, but sitting still, expectantly anticipating Good even as we write a simple statement of tenderness or beauty we have already seen. THAT is the mood of the writing mode.

Seminar William Samuel - DVD 1993 -



The following is transcribed from the William Samuel Seminar in White, Georgia. Seeing this video, seeing and hearing William speak, adds some deeper dimension, adds layers to his message. Like a song, hearing music, a synergy happens. 

 However, I think the simplicity and Light in the following excerpt will be very touching to most of you. 

 There is so much more in this talk, it's quite a divine gift that will bring you great joy and happiness. I recommend you watch and listen to the entire talk. The DVD is available on Amazon. You'll come away with something marvelous and liberating, you will - I know you will. Sandy Jones -- Literary Executor -  

Transcribed from DVD  Seminar With William Samuel - White, Georgia May 1993

There is a presence in this room right now and its here. It’s completely here, totally here, fully here, not partially here, its fully here, a presence, and its here. 

You can flee to the hinter most parts of the world, you can make your bed in hell. You can do anything like that you want to do, but the presence is still present.

I went to the mall recently, and I saw a little boy just at the moment he realized he was lost. His mother and father weren’t there. All of a sudden he was by himself and he was frightened, just as I happened upon him, and so immediately I picked him up and I said  “everything is alright, everything is alright, we’ll find momma and daddy”  and I held him up so his head was up here and he could see over the crowd and he saw his mother and father on the other side of the room.  They hadn’t seen him yet, but he saw that his mother and father were present, were present. And immediately began laughing and clapping his hands. Then his mother and father saw him, and came over and announced there presence and said “everything is alright” and thanked me for doing what I did.

I just wanted to tell you that there is a presence, right here, right now, that is just like that. Fully here, totally here, and doesn’t care what we do as human beings, doesn’t care how sinful we be, how fallen we seem to be -- doesn’t care. It is taking care of us, just as we are, just as we are and happy to get us through the human experience, to climb Da Shan {this time-space world} to stand with our foot above the earth -- and by the way, the little boy just had to know that the presence was present-- the presence didn’t have to come and do anything, didn’t have to bring him an ice cream cone, didn’t have to do anything, except be there.

So it is that there is a presence here and we don’t have to do anything to bring it.

I mentioned the photon that we have gotten ourselves down to in our quest for the big bang  This photon is vastless and spaceless and it moves at astounding speeds and it carries information.  Well, everything, it has been discovered  seems to have an opposite particle, what would be the opposite particle of the photon?-- and this is what science is working on at the moment. They have done everything but find the opposite of or the equivalent of all photons, to infinity and infinite, so what would be the opposite of this little creature that is zipping around here at the speed of light?   What would be the god particle? It is the photon that is already present, that doesn’t have to move because it is everywhere present and nowhere absent. That is the presence that is here this moment, attending all of us perfectly, from which we can’t escape. 

So there is a photon that moves and if it has an opposite, like everything else, there must be a photon that doesn’t move, that’s still, that’s at rest.  

Jesus said “I come from the Light, and I’m going back to the Light” Lao Tse said that, Buddha said that. 

Science is discovering the photon that is everywhere present and nowhere absent. Yet, we can’t prove it. At the tail end of everything, we can only admit that its here, present, and that’s all we’re required here to do.

 Is God here here or not? We accept, rather than reject. We  can’t prove the presence of God, but we certainly can accept the presence of God. 

When we accept the presence of God, it is amazing at the little things that happen that prove, that prove the presence is here. The little boy didn’t have to do anything for the little boy to be relieved, the little boy just had to know his parents were present. 

We don’t have to do anything, we just have to know there is presence present, that’s all we are required to do. 

And listen, for those of you are wondering why should I throw away the old man and put on the new -- well, miracles start happening when you do. You find yourself writing books and you find yourself talking where you had never talked before and you find people smiling at you that had never smiled at you before. And the presence proves that it’s present. You fly airplanes and you clap hands with glee. And you realize all beauty is within myself, all Truth is within my self, not out there a measurable distance away, not out there with a preacher, a minister, or a holy book or anything else that I must follow its directives --- Its here already as I -- and then we live the equation, we live It.

I want to talk just a little about the equation .........

Self Discovery


Artwork "Library" by Sandy Jones

Celestial Song

Excerpt from
The Child Within Us Lives! A Synthesis of Science, Religion and Metaphysics 
by William Samuel 

THE CHILD MESSIAH ARRIVES AS WE GET SUBJECTIVISM STRAIGHT
Certainly Isaiah foresaw the Child of God. Certainly Jesus identified as that Child. It fits metaphysically that the discovery of the Child within will very well represent Messiah to Judaism when the Child within Everyman is found—and may even be found by the Christian community as well. But more likely, Jewish and Christian churchdom will fear for their dogmas, buildings and numbers—especially worry about deceivers—and refuse to listen to the Child Itself right in the heart of them. If so, the ministry of Jesus would be confirmed positively and subjectively. The prophets, including the confirming Christ of history, could be right once more. The Child IS the savior. A child shall lead a remnant of “children” to New Jerusalem, a new dimension.
I state as a fact of my own Self-discovery, I walked the objective ground first; I walked the subjective discovery second; I lived my subjectivism in the world, discovering the remarkable Balance about which I've written. Then I was pushed into total willingness of self-surrender. That surrender wasn't finished until I was willing to give up my most cherished self-beliefs, even the teaching of Jesus seen to be subservient before Godhead. Then I was given the keys to the Kingdom, the Secrets of the Child and the Equation with which I proved the truth of the Self-revelations and the teachings of the historic Christ.
The point here (and I repeat it endlessly) is I was given nothing of the Child and the Child's Equation until I was proven willing, after many years, to surrender even my joys of subjectivism—everything—even God, in obeisance to Godhead. What I have been shown since has been lived and proven, every step of the Equation confirmed—attesting the primacy of GOD first, not the messenger of God, even when that messenger is the Son of God Himself. I was finally made WILLING to surrender the Christ Idea for God, perhaps a little like Abraham—and then the Secret was given to me so that rather than lose that Christly Ideal I could become it.
Since those days, all but a few things I was shown have come to pass—and what has not happened, will, if the pattern remains as certain at its conclusion as it has been thus far in time. I see no reason it won't.
In the world, resistance to Truth is individual, then group wide, then nation wide, then worldwide. Objectively, the groups will be shattered and shaken as the individual has been—then the nation, then the world.
One does not have to be shaken if he moves ON with God—but he will be destroyed if he doesn't.
These words do not sound very metaphysical, but why do they have to? The Truth isn't bound to meet human expectations. God is still a mystery to me, but the Self-I-am, made in the perfect IMAGE of God, grows clearer every day—and those who heed these words will find what I have found. We become like the fountains we drink from. Religionists and metaphysicians drink from many fountains and have become a dilute nothing. There is a single Fountainhead, God, for whom Jesus speaks. The words of Jesus (in Thomas and elsewhere) are true and faithful. Whatever I have had to say can be found in those words or in the words of LaoTse who addressed nature as himself. The man Jesus drank from the Prophet's fountain and I drink from His. Jesus came as the historic, linear confirmation of the Child within—the first willing to BE that Child of God. I announce the Same Child of God, present in the hearts of Everyman. I hail Godhead first; I hail God's Original Image—the Child within the Elect of God.

Understanding Time


Now it is, in these late days in the ongoingness of mortal life, that the attention of the one who survives will be turned to the Child within himself. He will be comforted and profited in his worldly affairs, and in his heart he will grow wealthy. As this Child-consciousness grows in the world and as these renewing people communicate with one another around the earth, writing and telling their own glimpses and glimmers of the Child's joy—no longer reciting the words of others as proof of their own wisdom—there will be a remarkable synergistic assembly of feeling within humanity beyond the grandest hope of anyone. 

Out of this unexpected synergism of Light, like a plant sending up a tall stem with a great flower on it, so the world will send up a newness of Child-people, blooming as a flower of Renewed Life—just like a fall flower finally coming to bloom in the late days before the frost. 

After nearly eleven thousand years of human time, God's Tree of Life is coming into bloom. There will be a special Joy beyond joy felt by those who are part of this Flower of Life, the offspring of Godhead, seed from the Original Seed.

But listen, listen. It is the Tree that blooms, not we ourselves. Those who are led by the Child become the Living Blossom of Life here on earth—a new brotherhood, a new Community without leaders or temples, subservient to naught but the Child and its Source. 

This flower may be shaken by the laughter, envy and scorn of the incredulous, and assaulted by pseudo-authorities whose power appears to be threatened. But the Child is a threat to no one. 

Before us lies a brief and severe time when the flower is shaken by the wind and the petals seem to be scattered again and when those who are not holding fast to the inner Child's hand will wonder who the real prophets are. But from the Flower will come the Seed that will be taken up for the reseeding and ongoingness of tangible life. The tree will perish, but the seed will live. 

How do I know this is so? Because it has been shown to me by the Child I am—and I see confirmation of the Divine Process and Its Equation in all nature. All one must do to know these things are happening already, is to look and see that they are happening. Line upon line now, but soon precept upon precept, more than a little here and a little there, the New Community already begins to flower and be seen by Everyman, first fruits of the Tree of Life—from out of which comes the Seed eternal.
All tangibility, all Da Shan and the life teeming on its slopes, is the subjectivity of God, not man. The Life that reads these words is the Awareness of God, no man. 

The synergism we feel in the community of our families and most meaningful groups is only a fraction of the Divine Energy and Light of Godhead's Life soon to be felt by those who summon forth the Child within and dare to become that Child. 

The downward human spiral of energy that culminates in selfness and the reproduction of human life will turn around to spiral upward and out, bringing with it the incomparable Energy of Life in its wholeness, joined with the Groom—and this joy is yet to be experienced by men and women. 

It is reserved for the final flowering of Life. It begins with the Child within. We get busy and find It. We live the Equation, giving and receiving, receiving and giving to all mankind. 

We write and tell of the Child's Glimpses because we are ourselves the only ones who can tell our own Glimpses of Light—they come to us immaculately and individually and to no one else. We are charged to give them to our others. 

The Glimpse contains the pollen of Life and we give it freely. We accept it and pass it along. We live God's Equation with joy. 

As it might be said in the East, the night of Brahman falls as soon as the harvest of the Seed is accomplished. The Morning of the New Day comes quickly.
