Introduction
THE CLAIM OF DOMINION
DAY ONE
We ask you questions now about what you believe, and who you believe yourselves to be. The identity you hold that has been claimed by you has been claimed in several ways—through your upbringing, yes, indeed your culture, but primarily through history, that which you have acclimated to without knowing it. You walk into a world with a sky and an earth and a sea. Everything has been named by those who came before you. And you acclimate to what you see, including systems of agreement, how things should be, based upon what they were. And you assume these things to be real. You go into accord with them, which means you align to them and know yourself in regard to their presence.
Each of you who comes before us has had a name given to them by a parent, by an authority, by an occupation, by a way of being seen in the world. And while this is not who you are, you appropriate the meanings of these names to be real. “This is what a banker is.” “This is who I am supposed to be, given the names I have carried.” And you acquiesce to the meanings of the names, the articulation of the name, the merit or mis-merit of the name, that you have been claimed by.
Now, the idea of identification also claims what you see. “I know a mountain by the name mountain.” “I know an evil man by the name evil and all that it conjures.” And you are in commerce with the self and with the landscape you express in through the language of history, which has been endowed with meaning. Your idea of evil, your idea of benefit, even your idea of God, is weighted with meaning, and, indeed, doctrine, that tells you what to feel and how you should respond and claim an identity with. And with is a word that we speak intentionally. When you are with something, you are in accord to it and in alignment with its meaning. The idea of who you are, the subjective self known by name—“I am Arthur,” “I am Alice,” “I come from this place,” “I am this of that many children,” “I do this for a living,” “These are my beliefs,” “These are my aspirations,” “These are the things I know to be true”—would be claimed by you separately. It is not a collective inheritance. It’s a collective idea of what you are, in agreement to a world, through the language that you’ve assumed and been in agreement with.
The teaching of today is, indeed, freedom. And with freedom comes faith. But when you know yourself as free, you are not denying what was. You are moving beyond it. You are lifting in strata and vibration beyond the codification of identity that you have utilized to get what you think you should have through the mask that you have worn that you believe to be real. The idea of who you are, identity, persona, is, indeed, useful. But you are not what you think. In fact, you never have been. The small self, who has aged, who has gone into agreement with things at different ages, has understanding born through experience and commonality through the collective agreements that she was born into. “In my home, we did this.” “In my country, we do that.” “In my religion, we believe this or that.” And your agreements to these things, in density, claim value, and value is meaning, what you give credibility to, credence to, meaning to, and what you see is always predicated on what you were taught to believe.
Now, our agreement to you, and our students as a whole, is to reclaim you beyond the persona or small self’s idea. But this cannot be done without permission. And if you wish to engage with us at this level of agreement, you will go on a voyage to the Upper Room, or to a new sense of self that is not predicated upon the ideas of history, which is always should—who you think you are and should be, based on prior agreement born in historical data. This is not a comfortable journey. Because you seek comfort, you want to bring your easy chair up to the Upper Room, and your television, and all the food in the refrigerator. You want the comfort of the old, when what is being asked of you now is to release an idea of who you have been so you may fully claim who you are.
Now, he1 interrupts the teaching. “What is wrong with who we are?” There is nothing wrong at all, but you mistake the mask you wear for the truth of the being you are. You mistake the landscape that was claimed in history, and endowed with meaning in truth. You believe yourself to be lifting through a spiritual practice, when, in many cases, you are acting pro forma, speaking nothing and deciding what should be, based on what you were taught and have not experienced.
This is, indeed, an experiential teaching. We will not tell you what to believe. We will invite you to claim it, and then know it for yourself. To know is to realize, and when you are truly in your knowing, you express in the Kingdom, which is, indeed, the awareness of the True Self in expression, and the realization of the Divine in the manifest world.
We say these words to some of you and you invent a fairy tale. “Oh, how lovely to be in the Kingdom, where everything happens my way.” In fact, the Kingdom is the knowing of the Divine where it has been denied. It is an acclimation to the vibration of God that is, indeed, in all things, but has been denied in almost all things. You are not walking around watching the flowers bloom. In fact, what you are doing is operating as a doorway to a higher octave, the Upper Room, to call what you experience to it through your faith, through your knowing, and through your acclimation to what is always true, and must always be true.
What is true is always true. You think your opinions are truth. They are, indeed, your opinions. You may have them. But what we will say is true is that the self that you truly are exists beyond the monikers, the descriptors, the emblemizations that you have utilized to accrue a sense of self. “I am the one who is never loved,” “who always has more than enough,” “who never has anything.” “I am the one who must be better than others,” “who must refute desire,” “who must give in to the crowd.” These are ways of being known. You act upon them, believe them to be real. They are attributes, yes, ways of being known, but they have never been who you truly are.
Now, the True Self expresses in the body you sit in, and beyond the body as well. The misnomer has been, the confusion has been, is that you await the Kingdom in heaven when you release the form you have taken. You believe all things are of God, but nothing can be when you deny God in form. Indeed, your experience of God or divinity is increased in a higher octave, beyond the density of manifestation that you have accrued in this form and through collective agreement in this shared landscape. But the antidote to this is really a very simple one. Release the density. Release the fear that is the basis of the density. And be lifted, one and all, to your true natures—beyond the masks worn, beyond the identifiers or emblems that would decrease you or diminish you, because the true value of who you are bears no weight upon your profession, your special gifts or your lack thereof. The True Self you are knows itself beyond history, beyond subjugation by others, beyond the fear that the collective has used to manifest control.
The times you sit in are fraught with fear, and also with great potential. How you identify through these times will support, not only you, but all you encounter in a much higher way than you can imagine. To become the doorway to what we call the Upper Room is to be assumed by it, by the True Self who expresses in manifestation, and through vibrational accord lifts all things she encounters to a higher strata—beyond fear, beyond claims of separation, and beyond the reliance of historical data to tell you what you see and what it means.
This is a teaching of assumption. And the text we will write next will be the text of assumption, the true assumption of the Monad in expression that manifests the Kingdom. And the title of the next text, The Kingdom, will be sung by us as we direct the dictation and teach the Kingdom to those who will abide there.
Now, realization, as you have understood it, has been codified by manifestation. “That is a teacup,” “that is a doorway,” “that is a hinge,” and “that is a good man” or “a bad man.” The names things have been used to, have taken, are occupiers of space and identity. Everything you see in form is in space and holds identity, inclusive of the self you know yourself as. And the realization of the True Self is in some ways the dissolution of the idea of who you are, and the reclamation of who you have always been, beyond the idea of doorway or hinge or any name given. If you can understand that there is indeed one note, one tone sung in the universe that you can call God, and God is in manifestation as everything you see—the door, the doorway, the hinge itself—you can begin to walk through what you thought was a closed door into a realm of magnificence.
“What does that mean,” he asks, “a realm of magnificence?” You equate magnificence, Paul, with splendor, as it has been described through history. The magnificence we speak to is the manifestation of the Divine. Imagine stepping through a doorway and what you experience is that one note, sung in infinite ways And the claim of the Kingdom, and the manifestation of the one who has come to it—“Behold, I make all things new,” the alchemical claim of assumption, the Divine assuming the material realm—is known by you, not only in experience, but in a new tongue, a new way of speaking, of invocation that actually reclaims the manifest world in the high octave that exists simultaneously with the one you have understood yourself in.
Now, the trajectory of this teaching that we will be giving for several months is not a solitary teaching. It will be a collective act. And the students that are present for this, and for these dictations, will reach a level of vibrational agreement that they have not known thus far. And this may not be an easy passage, because the new comes at the cost of the old, and the idea of who you have been has been held sacred by you, but at the cost of your true divinity. So you must become willing, if you wish to share this journey, to undergo this passage of reclamation. To be assumed by the Divine does not mean you forget your old name, don’t know the occupation you’ve had for years. It really simply means You Have Come, You Have Come, You Have Come as the expressed Divine that may, indeed, know itself in all things.
This is not to dissuade you from accompanying us. It is to create the invitation in honor. We only teach those who wish to hear our words. The manifestation of the Monad, the Divine Spark, the Christed Self, in form and field, is a level of alignment and nothing more. You are not re-created as much as transposed from one octave to another. And the music of your expression may be sung by you in significance that will actually alter the vibrational realm that you have occupied in density.
To become the doorway to the Upper Room, where we will soon take you, is to claim authority over the manifest world. This is not to control, not to get what you think you should have, but to know true dominion. And the claim of dominion, which will be the title of this chapter, must be understood by each of you. Your level of realization that you have claimed thus far is, in fact, an invocation to a reality that you are in conference to. To be in conference to means to contribute to through your consciousness. How you hold anything in consciousness is how you are met by what you see. This is the law of energetic accord.
Realization comes, again, at the cost of the old, and the lifting to the true nature of the being you are disassembles aspects of self that seek to be known in a higher octave or new way. What is disassembled is what has been in compliance to doctrine, to agreement in fear, to control, and to the manifestation that fear has wrought in the manifest world.
“What does that mean?” he asks. Everything created in fear must now be re-known. The level of vibration invoked by fear, the claim of history in fear, the doctrines of fear that you have assumed in religion and in law and in bias, are all decrees of separation. The action of fear is to keep you separate from the Divine Self, or the Monad, and to relinquish the true authority that the Divine Self has in claiming a manifest world in a higher vibrational field than you would assume to be so. Our agreement to you is that this process of lifting beyond what was claimed in fear will be a pliant one, an agreeable one, because in fact the manifest world, through the claims we will offer you, will support you in releasing the reliance upon the old, and re-knowing who you are, and, consequently, who all are, in the higher octave that is, indeed, the Upper Room.
This is a teaching of truth, and what is true is always true. And our congratulation goes out to each of you who wish to attend to this class, to read these words, to know this being that you have always been and, in fact, denied, in agreement and coherence and compliance to the idea of fear that would tell you it is not allowed, can never be, and never could have been. The Divine Spark in its risen state is the resurrection, the Christ within, the Monad, the flame of the Source of all things that assumes the being you are and dismantles the old. The ability to know who one is and to claim a world through new eyes is the agreement of this class, and this class will not end when this teaching ceases. It will be the lives you live in accordance to a new way of being, if, indeed, you are willing and are agreeing to be on this journey.
We wish to take you now to what we call the Upper Room. The Monad, or the Divine Self, is the aspect of you that aligns you here—and the invocations we offer by way of attunement, and, again, attunement means vibrational accord—to a transmission of energy, the Divine as all things, that is present for you each. You may say these words, if you wish:
“I know who I am in truth. I know what I am in truth. I know how I serve in truth. I am free. I am free. I am free.”
And, now, if you wish to be lifted, to agree to be lifted, invite the Monad, or the Christed Self, to be the one who lifts. And you may say these words:
“I am in the Upper Room. I Have Come. I Have Come. I Have Come.”
The Upper Room, or Christ consciousness, is the level of vibration that you are assumed in. You become the flame. You become the expression of Source, beyond the old, beyond the known, beyond the stigma that you may attach to the idea. You are lifted beyond reason to the truth of your being, and you are released from your complicit nature to the creations of fear, the monikers, emblemizations that you have utilized to disown your true nature. Our requirement for you is only one thing, your agreement to be lifted and to be assumed.
The claim “I Have Come, I Have Come, I Have Come” is the Monad in articulation and manifestation. And when this claim is invoked, it seeks to re-identify itself through every aspect of you, which quite simply means that the idealization of the True Self re-creates itself at every impasse, in the face of every fear, in every obstacle it may encounter, the action of the Divine to assume itself in form and field and re-create itself in everything it witnesses. In the claim we will teach, “Behold, I make all things new,” a new world will be born, beyond fear, beyond acquiescence to fear, beyond the treason you have held against the Divine through your refuting of it. And the refusal to see the Divine in your fellow, in your world, in yourself, is the one pain that you continue to claim. And we will say the time has come to release the cause of suffering, which is the denial of the Divine in every aspect of self and in the world you see yourself in.
In the Upper Room, where we abide as we teach you, where we come to you to learn, to sing, and to be in an experience of you, is the place of knowing that you may now abide in. But to abide in the Upper Room indeed requires a transition of the vibrational field from lower to higher, and the body is included. The claim “I know what I am in truth,” the manifestation of the Divine as form, will be of benefit to you here. You do not exclude form. You do not exclude breath. You do not exclude anything you see from the tapestry of God that is unfolded before you and will be seen by you in the new eyes, in the new light, that you have come to see with.
We sing your songs for you so that you may know the words. We know who you are in truth. We know what you are in truth. We know how you serve in truth. You Have Come. You Have Come. You Have Come.
This is the introduction to the new text. We thank you for your presence. We will return after a pause for Paul. Period. Period. Period.
