Father McKenzie led me here – The 3 Principles, Spirituality & Creative Writing

The first thing I heard this man say was about a world where people were all hypnotised and they were following the ideas of other people that bordered on the behaviour of brain washing. His message was to be able to accept that you need to be willing to change from what ever you had become to something new but unknown. So, far so good, BUT if we all follow his ideas then we have just changed our programming and that is the very thing that he is warning us about. A real clash of notions this!! Think about it though. Some of the beliefs and standards that you almost religiously observe were inherited from your ancestors that you know absolutely sod all about. WHY? Same as if you read the contents of this website and decide to change yourself to a new way of thinking then that is following the ideas of Mr Sydney Banks esq.

Syd always told people though “never a follower be.” He also told people to ignore his words and just seek a feeling. Perhaps that is what this guy is saying as well. Look for a feeling that is right!!

Just a couple off very short sound clips from this guy who started of his public life as a jesuit priest and then walked a very different path.You hear things here that strike a chord with you? I do and he requires a lot more further investigation.

BE WILLING TO CHANGE

STOP FIXING YOURSELF

I had this good news. I was supposed to tell others about this great change in man’s relationship with God. Father McKenzie had given me the basics and now it was up to me to investigate his groundwork on my own. LEARNING! That is what I needed so I did courses. More Input. I got a certificate saying I was baptised as an adult. I had another saying I was a Baptist lay preacher. I had the trust of a Baptist Pastor, under his mentorship I led Pound Lane Mission through a six-month interregnum. I conducted a wedding. I presided at four funerals. I shared laughter and tears with people. Life was full of purpose and interest and YET, something was NOT right. The more I tried to grasp what was wrong the more it alluded me. In my mind, I knew that ‘THINGS’ were not all they should be. It took a while but more and more each day I just became more and more aware of what it was.

The good news I had was different from other people’s.

I found there were members of the congregation who thought they owned God’s house. Others were keen on people who didn’t see things their way burning in eternal hellfire. The intellectual Christians who were ‘top of the class’ in their heads and way, way, above other members of the flock. I noted we spent 30 minutes discussing a new bit of flooring in the kitchen and 2 begrudged minutes discussing the content and suitability of the Sunday service content.

I left that church only to discover the next one was much worse. So was the next one. AND the one after that. I decided not to bother with churches anymore. With friends like some of these people, one certainly did not need enemies, because you already had them.

The A is for St Aiden and the H is for St. Hilda

So I stayed away. All was well for a long while, and then THAT VOICE said, “You selfish git! I showed you the good news, and you have got it, but you will not tell anyone else what it is. With disciples like you, I will never get anywhere in the world. Why will you not do your bit? Why not get off your butt and tell someone else what you know? Eh. Eh, Eh?” I became a Celtic Explorer, and finally, I found Anamcara. A soulmate who actually encourages people to find God, know about God, connect with God, and have a personal relationship with Him. Let me tell you about Anamacara (an update on 19 April 2021 – I now have been allocated an Anamacara. A soul friend who will mentor and guide me on my pilgrim journey. He is Ash Barker and lives in Birmingham. Before our first meeting on Zoom. I wondered what we would have in common. What a stupid person I am. Ash spotted my Essex accent straight away and said “Well, you are not from Yorkshire, are you? I told him I was born in Forest Gate Hospital in London’s East End. He told me that members of his family ran services at Bonnie Downs church in East Ham. I could not believe it. I came to Christ at East Ham Baptist Church and it provided all the leadership at Bonnie Downs Church. The Rev. Humphrey Vellacott told the BU that the church would be under his mentorship and they would close it over his dead body. Hence Ash and I had heaps in common. He knew nothing of this ancient history as I was talking about events in the mid-’70s. He is going to ask about the revivalist Pastor Alan Griffiths, his sister Angela, and his Brother who later became the Pastor of Hackey Baptist Church in Mare Street. We had 45 minutes of very animated excited conversation. How was it that someone who knew neither of us very well had allocated us to be fellow travellers? Two people who had so much in common it beggars belief. ) and perhaps together we can set up a monastic church that actually is positive in helping others to find Him, and not fill their head with reasons why they cannot? Disciples who treat others as fellow travellers, rather than lesser beings who are needy and require help from super servers like them. A place where all equally succeed or equally fail and share that? A church, based on simplicity, obedience to God, and Purity. A church that promotes & supports everyone to be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.

These all ‘fit’ well with me on how this journey to find a relationship with God should go. I “feel’ at home with every single one of them. Ten pearls of wisdom that shine out like a great beacon of hope for all humanity. They shout unity instead of division. Promote brotherhood and acceptance of all and everything. We made none of this world and yet we love to carp and criticise the way that it is and that is NOT why we are here. If any of this strikes a cord with you then in the first instance go to the website and sign up. You may then like to join the local group which has one member at present. Yes me. My email is admin@writingthoughts.co.uk so feel free, to let me know about boundless enthusiasm and unrestrained love for the world and your fellow beings. Be so good to hear that.

I am on probation for 6 months AND I will keep you posted about how my time with The Celtic Church pans out. Who knows they may kick me out or I might just do what I always have done… Go look somewhere else. We will see.

From The Lost Esoterical Teachings of Jesus – Remember Who You Are – If you like this short excerpt then please by the book.

JESUS: TIMELESS LORD

Over 2000 years ago, one of the most excellent metaphysical teachers of all time came with an outstanding mission to set mankind free from the greatest lie ever. The lie that man believed about himself. That man believed he was the negative ego imprisoned by negative thoughts and a negative mindset causing him stress, illness, depression, lack of confidence, self-acceptance, inner happiness, inner peace, awareness, self-expression and rise to an understanding of destructive circumstances. And to wake their faith. As King Solomon said in the Old Testament: “Above all things, get understanding.”

No longer were the people to be led astray by putting their faith in their leaders. Jesus called this Blind Faith the blind leading the blind. At various times, throughout his mission, he often accused the leaders of being blind guides who used the emotion of fear as a weapon to have power over the masses, making people conform to their will, but calling it “The Will of God”.

His fearless rebuke towards the leaders and his popularity among the people made him extremely unpopular among the religious authorities. Yet, here was a dynamic man who was not afraid to speak up for the people and spoke with unwavering authority words. Jesus came with revolutionary teachings that attracted the crowds in their thousands. His teachings were simple: He exposed the human condition without condemnation and was able to show humanity the way forward. He taught the masses deliverance from the Kingdom of Hell within themselves to the kingdom of Heaven within themselves. Releasing those who were living in the misery of the negative mindset into truth, the reality of living in the Light. He taught people how to use the power of positive thinking (which was called healing thinking in those days), words, feeling and being. To bring life to their souls and healing to their minds. Bringing humanity back to the Garden of Eden, when man functioned in the higher consciousness of knowing who he was in his true identity. Therefore living in the fourth dimension (The Single Eye of Focus) of ultimate fulfilment where needs and desires are fully met through the right vision, actions, inspiration, intuition, revelation, attraction and right decision making.

“The Tree of Life”

Proverbs 13v 12 states, “Hope deferred makes the heart grow sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life”.

Jesus came not to create a new religion but a way of life that mankind had experienced before the fall from higher consciousness – positive thinking to negativity. He revealed that mankind was operating under the law of negativity, the law of death in human consciousness, producing negative thoughts, feelings, decisions, and states of being. He told them to crush the enemy of negativity under their feet. Feet being the symbol of understanding. In other words, he told them to crush their negative thoughts – man’s enemy within – with understanding. For, as we know, understanding something is having knowledge, and knowledge is power. Once you know something, you can see, for you are no longer in blind ignorance. You will no longer be led astray.

The Negative Thoughts

Jesus told the masses that negativity uncontested was like a robber, a liar and a thief to man’s soul and mind. He explained that guilt made it impossible for them to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and to attain success for themselves. Thus robbing them of their inner joy and direction. Doubt would rob you of the ability to make the right decision. The decision you know you should take. Thus forcing you to miss your goal in life. Uncontrolled anger. It can scream at you to kill, maim, frighten, and hurt. It is consuming your heart with emotional pain. You forget who you are about yourself. The circle represents the law called karma, and if it’s negative, it will have its own law of destruction and illusion. This brings about conflict within man. This has resulted in humanity experiencing the terrors and contradictions inherent in himself and others, causing wars and destruction. Humanity has stepped outside of the bliss that is inherent within itself. Leaving mankind hungry for the fulfilment that it once had. (The Tree of Life the right self-image).

Jesus taught in whatever way he could to reach the people. He used stories and surroundings that people could relate to. Like Shakespeare, his teachings were timeless. But unfortunately, a lot of the teachings of Jesus have been hijacked for the church’s prosperity instead of the prosperity of man’s soul.

The Word

He exposed the human condition so that humanity could know its enemy’s thoughts and know-how to deal with them. All the lies, destruction and negative thinking adversely affect health, life and circumstances. Apart from releasing mankind from the law of Karma to a life in the spirit (The Way) with positive thinking, feeling and being, he also taught them the power of The Word, which he called the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Key Words that resonate with your soul and unlock your mind to truth and the realization of who you are in the Light. The very same Key Words automatically lock away illusionist thoughts (Negative thoughts). Thus a man could enter through the door of higher consciousness of knowing who he was with positive thinking and Being. Thereby re-entering the Garden of Eden within. Here man could eat of the Tree of Life again and be filled with joy knowing his Godself within as a provider of goodwill towards him. Jesus taught that God was the giver and the gift. And man, the receiver. Man did not have to earn God’s approval by the sweat of the brow. It was a gift. But Jesus taught a method. A law which was a spiritual law of awareness working with higher consciousness. Allowing positive healing ideas to flood conscious thinking and to eliminate all negative thoughts with the Word. The Key Words of Jesus that he called the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.

THE KEY TO YOU

You have forgotten who you are. You have lower thinking when you think negatively. Eliminate your low self-esteem, your negative ego, your procrastination, your inability to respond to opportunities, and your own denial of your Divine ego and potential.

Remember who you are.

You are wonderful, sensational, dynamic, magnificent, and talented. I dare you to say these things about yourself. Raise yourself up from seeing yourself in the lower self-image to seeing yourself in the higher self-image—the real you.

BEFORE THE FALL OF CONSCIOUSNESS

There were two trees in the garden. As the story goes, one tree was called the tree of life, and the other tree was called the tree of illusion. The trees represented the self-image. So the tree of life represented the Divine image, the true identity of man, the Divine ego, man-made in the image of God. And the other tree represented the false image, the negative illusion – the negative ego. Man was tempted to see himself negatively and when he did, negativity blinded him to his truth about his right Divine self-image. As man’s eyes were opened to the negative belief about himself, he found he was naked. No longer clothed in the truth of who he really was.

Before the fall of mankind into negative thinking, Adam (meaning the mind) and Eve (meaning emotion) functioned only in The One Power, the joyous vibration of knowing who they were in right self-image, positive thinking and Being. Otherwise known as the Superconscious Mind, Higher Consciousness, The Light, The Divine Mind, the realm of perfect ideas, the source of all life and Infinite Intelligence – in a word – God.

Humanity knew only the bliss and ecstasy of living in this positive vibration called the Tree of Life, knowing who they were. Whatever man desired or required was made manifest by the divine provision. The divine provision worked by the spiritual law of awareness working with the Law of Addition – Attraction. Knowing their true identity, the image of the Godself within, or the Light within, as the giver and the gift. And man as the receiver.

The ultimate joy was to know that God was dedicated to fulfilling all of man’s needs and desires. So in the Garden, there were no weeds of negative thinking to tend to. However, man was warned that if he ate of the tree of illusion, he would fall and create for himself a false negative image within him. Causing him to see himself negatively, believing he was no good. So he would die within from fear and the self-destruction of wrong thinking.

Why would he die?

Was it a punishment as recorded?

No, it was not a punishment. Once he ate of the tree of illusion, man bit into the belief of seeing himself negatively, causing him to have a negative image of himself. The dark thoughts would then convince him that he was not worthy. That he should fear God (The Light). Doubt would be sown into the mind of man about himself and God within. Thoughts, such as you have done wrong, you are bad, you are guilty, shame on you, God doesn’t love you, no one loves you, and God will punish you prevailed, and created in man an I AM bad image. Like the opening of Pandora’s box, negative words flooded man’s mind like an unwanted torrent holding him captive to their lies and false self-image of himself.

God knew the downward pull of negative thinking and negative self-belief and that if humanity believed in it or bit into it, lies would become truth. Then man would be blinded and cut off from seeing his true state of Being his God-self within – alienating himself from the knowledge of the Supreme Being. Thus causing a void within his soul and cutting himself off from his Divine provision, positive healing thoughts, feelings, being, ideas, Divine guidance, revelation, inspiration, Divine love, intuition and perfect alignment with the Law of the Universe- the Law of Attraction. God, without, manifests himself as the Gift of positive events, circumstances and material provision.

But as the story goes. Adam ate of the tree of illusion of seeing himself as the negative self-image instead of seeing he was the image of the Divine. Adam then fell into a deep sleep dreaming about his wrong self-image as reality. So man fell into a negative nightmare, and stress, conflict and fear became his God. Fear became a veil within to hide the Light within man of his true identity.

Through the fall man and womankind forgot they were sons and daughters of the Light. Fear blinded humanity, and feelings of despair, murder, homelessness, lack, depression, fulfilment, emotional pain, guilt, shame, self-hate and self-harm were born and cursed mankind ever since. And most importantly, fear of themselves, each other and God.

Live your truth, and you will find your life.

Don’t just talk about your truth. Live it, be it.

Your truth begins with you.

To yourself, then be true.

Live your truth
