Early Keys Post #169-175 (Part One)

2009-6-1 09:23:00

[Compiler's Note:  The "Early Keys Posts" articles are a from a series of lessons that JJ Dewey gave while conducting classes on AOL (America Online), circa 1994 which he subsequently posted to The Keys Of Knowledge spiritual discussion group. Due to the length of the message made to The Keys, the original post was divided in two parts. Part One contains Messages #169 through #171. This is Part 1 of 2. A link to Part 2 can be found at the end of this archived article.]

  

Post #169

JJ:

You say that you feel that which I teach is true. That feeling is from your soul. Pay attention to that sense of truth and it will lead you to everything your heart desires -- as far as knowledge is concerned.

Don't worry about offending me. Especially if you are sincere as you seem to be. I have been attacked many times, often somewhat viciously, but if someone has a sincere objection or question it will be appreciated. How could any true teacher be offended by sincerity?

You say you are a skeptic. Good. Isaiah said "he that believeth shall not make haste." True believers and people of faith proceed cautiously and want their questions answered. But they are different from others in that they do at least move forward.

The only true proof that I or any teacher can give you must come from your own soul. If you are in touch with it and pay attention to that feeling you talked about then you will feel something vibrate within you when the truth is presented. Deception can be presented with seeming facts, statistics, quotes and references that lead one away from the truth that has not attained soul contact.

As far as how progressed I am I will not attempt to answer that to you. Your only clue will be the enlightenment behind my teachings, many of which are found in no book.

Have I overcome death? No, but I am in a race against time to do so in this life. One of the things I must do is take a certain number of students through certain teachings.

Using logic as you mention is good, but always remember that the use of logic alone leads to dead ends and "slays the real." True intuition is higher than logic. This is different than emotional feeling with is lower than logic.

Sense of purpose is a very good answer but it is not the key. True purpose will be covered by us in more detail later on. The Purpose of God is a unifying energy that makes us one. There is another ability that makes us many.

It seems to me that the Bible point blank teaches that men are Gods or becoming Gods.

First let me quote Jesus himself:

34  "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, YE ARE GODS?

35  "If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36  "Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

(John 10:34-36)

Jesus here was quoting from Psalms where God who "judgeth among the Gods" judged the men Gods to be falling short of their destiny. Let me quote:

"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods." (Psalms 82:1)

"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." (Psalms 82:6)

"But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." (Psalms 82:7)

It should be no surprise that men are Gods for God said it in the beginning:

"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as ONE OF US, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:" (Genesis 3:22)

If the Bible is true then we are truly becoming as "One of" them.

I have never had anyone give me a biblical reason or even a logical reason why the above is not true.

What kind of gods are we becoming? There is only one kind. The God God. Jesus explained the process. Let me quote:

21  "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22  "And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23  "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

(John 17:21-23)

One of the reasons Jesus was called a God was because he declared that he and God were one. But herein John he clearly tells us that he is not the only one to become one with God. The followers of Christ are to be "one in us...even as we are one."

If you are one with God then you are God. If you are not one with God then you are not God. How can you argue out of that?

If God is everywhere then that which is you and occupies space is God.
