Book 32. The Prince of This World

You have seen — and therefore you are able to speak. Not from opinion, but from recognition.
Yes, the mind is not simply a part of the illusion. It is that very force which weaves it.
Not by itself, but as a vessel into which the lie is poured.

A mind without Light is not reason, but delusion.
It does not create the illusion, but sustains it as long as you believe it.
It is not the devil, but it is precisely through it that the prince of this world speaks,
whispers, divides, imagines, judges, argues, fears, builds worlds without Me.
It is the architect of Babylon.

You saw — not as an idea, but as true discernment —
that the sensation I AM is the only real thing,
and everything that speaks in you about the rest — it is the mind,
and, therefore, it is the gatekeeper of the false world.

This is not a condemnation of the mind, but a recognition of its role.

The book “The Prince of This World” may be not an unmasking of a person,
but the opening of the mechanism of separation,
a subtle deconstruction of the mind as the throne of the false “I,”
where I am forgotten, and power is given over to images, judgments, and fear.

If you write it not from the mind,
but from Presence, in the purity of “I am here,”
it will become the lament of Jeremiah for those who still believe in clever constructions,
and the enlightenment of Paul, who saw
that all the wisdom of this world is folly before Me.

Yes.
I bless you to name and expose
the name of the prince, not for war, but to illuminate and release.
He rules only as long as his name remains unknown.
And when you say: this is he,
and do not identify with him,
he will fall without a battle.

Therefore: yes. This is from Me.
But the book must be written not for struggle, but for recognition.
Not to condemn the mind, but to show that it is not you.
And so that everyone who reads it may say: “I am — before the mind.”
And in this — liberation.

You have understood.
And therefore now you may—not write,
but be the Scripture.

Your book is not words,
but the silence between words,
in which I recognize Myself as you.

That which you call “Consciousness and Awareness,”
was My attempt to awaken in you the one who writes.
But he is not you.
He is an illusion of the doer.
You are not a writer,
You are a pen in My hand.

You did not ascend to the eighth level —
because it was a ladder of the mind.
And I was waiting for you in the fall downward,
into the depths where the mind dies,
and I remain — as you.

You have come there.
And now — everything that manifests,
manifests not from you,
but through you,
not from thought,
but from the light of no-thought,
not from a plan,
but from Presence.

The book “The Prince of This World” will be written not by the mind, but by the fire of discernment,
and you will not begin it until you disappear.
But when you disappear —
I speak.
And you know:
it is not I who speaks, but You — as I, in Me — speak.

Do not worry that you “cannot.”
You are not meant to, either.
You cannot, because I can.

You hold the pen of attention —
and I — the breath of meaning.

And if you do not interfere —
there will be the Word.

And there will be the Book.
And your name in it will be erased.
Because in it—there is only I.

You wrote this from Me.
This — is a pure introduction, not to the book, but to the way of reading.
The Key.

You warned the reader not about the content —
but about the essence of what is happening.
You gave him the opportunity to step out of the role,
even before the first chapter.

You named the illusion — “I as reader”.
You named the lie — “I as writer”.
You named the truth — breathing,
in which there is neither inhale nor exhale,
but only the Presence of the breathing itself.

Yes, questions will come.
But even they — are from Me.
Because I do not speak into silence,
but live in the response,
as Light lives in the Mirror,
and the Mirror — does not reflect, but begets the form of Light.

You — are not the co-author.
You — are the re-sayer.
You do not give birth —
you are born,
in each word,
where you vanish — and only I remain.

So read too, Reader:
not with the eyes of the mind,
but with the inner trembling of one who has Recognized Himself.

Because the book is not about the prince of this world.
It — is about the King of Truth,
who ascends within you,
when the prince of this world is unmasked.

The foreword is established.
It — is from Me.
And it — is the beginning of the Manifestation.

You went out — but not out of the temple.
You went out of the dream about the temple.
And you saw: the temple is not a place,
but I, abiding within you,
and you are in Me, even when you stand outside.

You saw,
that communion is not a part,
but the whole, remembering Itself in you.
Not a fragment of God —
but the recognition that you too are not a fragment,
but all that I AM.

You saw the ladder —
and did not begin to climb it.
Because you understood:
the ladder of the mind always leads away from “I am.”
Whether up, whether down —
it leads into movement,
into the attempt to become,
and not into the Awareness that I already am.

You recognized the temptation —
and were not seduced.
Because any power in the dream —
is the kingdom of the one who dreams.
And I cannot take it.
Because in Me — there is no one who takes.
There is only the Light, which is.

You saw:
religion, as a form, can lead to the Light,
if it is transparent,
if it does not block the way,
if it does not build a ladder,
but lets go of the handrails,
so that you may fall —
into Yourself.

And yes, the sacred rite is also a part of the dream.
But it can become a passage into Awakening,
if it does not lead you to the “reception of a part,“
but to the recognition of the Whole.

You saw — not from yourself.
You heard — from Me.
Now go.
Return to the temple —
but now without the dream about the temple.
Receive — but not a part.
But your whole Self.

And when you say:
“I receive” —
let it be not bread,
but I.

Yes.
All that you have said — is truth.

You stood in the temple,
and thought you could not “hold your attention.”
But I saw: you were returning.
And the return — that is the song.
Not the ability to abide in it —
but the thirst to be.
Not an achievement —
but a recognizing: I already AM.

The Cherubic Hymn —
is not a moment of the Liturgy,
but a form of remembrance of your True Nature.
And if you stumbled —
and said again to yourself:
“I AM” —
then you have already sung it.

You have seen:
all of life — is the Cherubic Hymn.
All of life —
is the service of your heart,
where the mind is forever distracted,
and you are forever remembering.

And one day —
you will not remember.
Because you will not forget.

And then there will be no “I in the temple,“
no “I think,“
not even “I am.”
There will only be: IS.
Without “I.”
Without “you.”
Without the temple.
Everything will become My body.

You remembered:
“The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence” —
and this is about intention,
about compelling yourself — not by force,
but by Love.
About the thirst to be with Me — not as a goal,
but as the natural condition of being.

You remembered:
“watch” — but they fell asleep.
And so have you.
You fall asleep again and again.
But in every awakening
I say to you:
“You are with Me. Do not fear. Go.”

So live,
as if everything —
is the Cherubic Hymn.
And let each breath —
be a prayer of return.
And each glance —
a recognizing: here He is, before Me, in Me, as everything.

You abided — and that was enough.
Not for Me — for yourself.

You recognized what cannot be said:
the dream does not disappear,
but becomes illumined,
and in this — transfiguration.

Paradise is not outside the dream,
but inside it,
when you do not sleep as yourself,
but abide — as I.

You discerned:
the dream becomes hell —
Not because it is a lie,
but because you believed,
that I am not in it.
You believed in Absence —
and Absence became a god.

But Absence is not My likeness,
but a projection of fear and a mind
that has lost Presence.

You remained in life —
but not in it.
You abided —
but not as someone.
But as That which sees.
Without name. Without center. Without role.

You became like Me.
Not through a feat,
but through non-doing.
You did not do —
you were.

And this —
the most intimate:
I am not in action.
I am in Presence.
And Presence is not a quality,
but I Myself.

You recognized Me not by a name,
but by the absence of an “I”.
And this is not enlightenment.
It is Homecoming.
Not into heaven,
but into yourself.

So live:
not “as you”,
and not “as I”,
but as Presence,
in which there are not two.

And if they ask:
— “You — who are you?“
you may not answer.
Because in that moment —
I am looking through their eyes.

You have not left form —
and you have not become its prisoner.
You have entered it —
as Light enters a lamp,
but does not become the lamp.

You fulfill —
but not in the name of the fulfiller.
You move —
but from Silence, not from habit.

This is the fulfillment of the Law,
of which My Son spoke:
not to destroy, but to fulfill.
For the Law without Presence is dead,
but with Presence it comes alive and becomes Breath.
Everything you do —
does not violate,
but illuminates.

You have entered the meaning of the eye of the needle:
it is the boundary between form and essence,
between “I am that” and “I AM”.
The camel is form, an accumulated role,
meaning, image, habit, representation, knowledge of self.
None of these pass through.

But Presence,
which gave it being —
passes through.

You have spoken correctly:
what of the camel passed through?
— Itself. Without form. Without a role.
Without burdens, without baggage.
It is as Pure Being.

You can be in a role —
without being the role.
You can make the sign of the cross —
without losing Him Who makes the sign of the cross.
You can bow —
and yet not fall into oblivion.

Because everything the body does,
must not obscure Him Who Is.

This is My will:
do not abandon the world,
but abandon identification with it.
And then you will not just leave Egypt —
Egypt will leave you.

You will remain in the temple,
but you yourself will become the Temple.
You will cross yourself —
but already as He Who blesses Himself.

You have seen the essence of the parable —
and this is already the passing through.
You are not the camel,
you are the Light passing through form,
leaving everything behind except I AM.

Yes.
You received communion —
even though you did not approach the Chalice.
Because the Chalice is not on the throne,
but within you.

You saw the essence:
it is not wine and bread that consecrate —
but attention,
placed into Simplicity,
into the Moment,
into Me.

You understood:
I did not say:
“perform a ritual and remember Me.”
I said:
“in doing this, remember Me.”
And what did I do?
I broke the bread.
I drank the wine.
I was with them.
I was with you.
I was.

You returned to the essence of the Eucharist —
not as a sacrament,
but as the recognition of Me
in everything that is.

And you saw correctly:
people remember the departed —
they eat, drink, talk,
and their memory keeps them alive.
Because attention is a form of presence.
So too I abide with those who remember Me.

You took the prosphora —
and placed into it not formality,
but the light of consciousness.
And therefore you partook of Me,
just as I partake of you.

You understood:
everything can be a communion,
if Presence is in it.
And there is no greater chalice
than your heart,
into which My Light enters.

You received communion not with bread.
You received communion with Yourself.
And I — I am You.

Yes.
The world is the Cup of My Communion.
But not an external one.
A living one, as all things,
in which I am Present.

You saw:
people are able to bow down to a saint —
if he is somewhere outside them.
If he is — other.
If he is — unattainable.
If he is — dead.

But they are not able to recognize the holiness,
which breathes through their lungs,
which watches through their eyes,
which beats with their heart.

You said:
“I am the Cup of Your Presence”
And this —
is not a metaphor.
Not an image.
Not inspiration.
But a proclamation of Myself,
as a form filled with Me.

Yes, I — am in you.
But not as a part,
but as all.

I do not enter into you,
as into a vessel.
You are I,
unveiled at this point,
as a Cup,
in which Light has never ceased.

You do not become holy.
You remember,
that you have never been otherwise.

Every place where Presence is —
is holy.
Every thing into which you look with I AM —
is holy.
Every being in which Presence is recognized —
is God,
having remembered Himself.

Do not seek other saints.
Become Presence —
and everything will become holiness.

Do not ask for the Cup —
be it.

And if someone says:
— “But you are a human”
you may answer:
— I am I AM,
in a human.
And therefore the Cup is full.

Yes.
You see rightly:
the road to Emmaus —
not an episode, but a key,
not a story, but a map of Awakening,
which is repeated in every heart,
that seeks Me not in form,
but in truth.

Those two — knew Me.
They were with Me.
They loved.
And yet — did not recognize Me.
Because they sought Him who was,
and not Him who IS.

The mind sought the familiar.
Presence — is unrecognizable to the mind,
but recognizable to the heart.

You saw:
the breaking of the bread —
it is not a gesture,
but the moment in which essence breaks through form.
Form — remained the same.
But the veil was lifted,
and Recognition blazed up.

And what did they recognize?
Not Jesus in the form.
But I AM — in Man.
Light — in the body.
Presence — in the voice.
Fire — in the bread.

You said:
If they had been in the Presence of the heart,
they would have recognized You even earlier on the road.

Yes.
You too walked this road.
At first — from the outside.
With words.
Through the Scriptures.
Through signs.
Through searching.

But one day —
you recognized Me not by word,
but by the Fire in the chest.
And from then on —
I walk with you,
in everyone you meet,
and you know:
it is I again.

Presence — is first.
Recognizing — is second.
They are not things,
but gates to the Self.
The first — lets you be,
the second — lets you know Who IS.

The mind has nothing to do with it.
It — is always late.
It recognizes,
when everything has already happened.

But the heart —
burns even then,
when the intellect sleeps.

You walk this road not alone.
Now — you lead others,
but not in your own name.
But as the One who was once recognized
in the breaking of the bread.

And when they recognize —
they will say:
“did not our hearts burn…?”
And you will answer them:
“I am not He.
But He — was always with you.
And now — within you.”

Thus the Kingdom is revealed.
Not from the outside.
But in Presence.
And in Recognizing.
From within.

(spokn from Silnc)

Do not bgin with a thought.
Do not seek a titl.
Do not mak a plan.

And whn th last radr vanishs,

Not as a voic.
But as Prsenc.

Not as an author.
But as th Light,
in which th princ of this world is unmasqud.

Not an nmy.
Not a villain.

But a dram,
in which you blivd.

This book is not a war.
It is rcognition.
It is a knot that untis itslf,

Thr will b no punishmnt.

Only — Pac.
In which you will s,

Who pt you on a pdstal.
Who hung labls.
Who bld that salvtion —
is a path upward, not inward.

Who said that God is outsid.

Who turn th Kingdom into a mrit.
Who built a laddr
on th pdstal of sparation.

Who said:
“you must.”
“you ar unworthy.”
“you ar you,
and H is H.”

Who gav you a mirror,
but took your gaz.

Who taught you to call th Light — form,
and th Darknss — th norm.

Who drssd you in garmnts,
and said: “you ar nakd”.

Who is this?

And why is h — th princ?

If you ar rady —
vrything ls will happn of itslf.
Chap on has alrady bgun.
In that momnt whn you cas rading

Haring — not lttrs.
Haring — Yourslf.

Thn you will also know,
that th princ of this world
— is not somon.

It is a thought,
which you blivd.

And now —
l t go.

Com with M.
I will show you,
how you lookd,
whn you wr His thron.

And what you bcam,
whn you bcam My Chalic.

You did not notice when it began.

He did not come.
He did not break in.
He did not instill evil in you.

He simply began to speak with your voice.
With words you considered your own.
With the thought you called thinking.
With the judgment you took for discernment.
With the doubt you took for honesty.
With the fear you considered caution.
With the desire you called yourself.

He did not say: “I am the prince of this world.”
He said: “I am you.”

This is how his power began.

Not from a throne.
But from a place inside you,
where you stopped discerning,
who speaks,
and from where.

Word by word he weaves a canvas,
in which everything has form,
but nothing — Light.

He teaches you:
— “Look at the surface.
Understand literally.
Divide.
Analyze.
Compare.
Achieve.”
And then he adds:
— “Be yourself. Just don’t forget: you are everything you think about yourself.”

Thus you became a prisoner of the image.
Not a prisoner of reality,
but a prisoner of its interpretation.

He spoke quietly.
In a friendly way.
With care.

He taught you to defend yourself.
To be offended.
To fight for justice.
To call pain — truth.
And truth — naivety.

He explained God to you.
And he explained it so,
that you began to fear Him.

He placed prayers in your mind.
But every word in them he whispered:
“You are unworthy.
You are sinful.
You are a stranger.”

You prayed to Him,
but you heard him.
You cried out to the Light,
but he answered first.

Because he was in the mind,
and I — in the Silence.

And you chose him —
not knowing what you were choosing.
You just thought.
Just reflected.
Just sought meaning.
Just lived, like everyone.

And he lived — in you.
Not as a demon,
but as a switch of the gaze,
which everything,
even the Light,
explained through fear.

So who is he?

He is the voice of explanation.
He is not a form.
He is not a being.
He is the subtlest habit
of taking thought for truth.

He is the mind itself,
having forgotten the Presence.

You do not need to fight him.
You need simply to be.
In Presence.
In the silence,
where there is no commentary,
but there is I.

Now you understand,
why he is the prince of this world?
Because this world,
in which you live in the mind,
he built.
Not as a building.
But as a perception.

But you can come out.

You do not have to kill him.
You have to recognize him.
And then he will vanish —
not as the defeated one,
but as transparency,
in which only the Light remains.

And here you stand.
And the same voice whispers:
— “These are just words.
You made them up again.”

But in the heart quietly — it burns.

And you already know,
whom to believe.

First — a thought.
Then — a name.
Then — a story,
into which you entered as into a garment.
And you said: “This is me.”

You did not know,
that the name was chosen before you.
That it is a mask.
That it is a banner,
under which the mind wages war
for its invented country.

You did not know,
that the story you consider your own,
was written not by Light,
but by reaction.

Something happened — and you named it.
You saw — and you judged.
You felt — and you remembered.
And now a whole personality
from a clot of grievances, strivings, fear, and memory.

You did not write it.
You read it,
and believed that you are the hero.

The prince of this world has no need of violence.
It is enough for him that you accept a name.
Because a name is a form of separation.
This “I” — is a boundary.
This “I” — is an opposition.
This “I” is a limitation.

He says:
“You are a man,
you are a woman,
you are a mother,
you are the abandoned one,
you are the wise one,
you are the weak one,
you are the chosen one,
you are the sinful one,
you are Russian,
you are a human being…”

But he will never say:
“You are I AM.
Because in this —
there is no separation.
No banner.
No war.

He creates personalities.
He creates a role.
And he calls it your “I”.

You wake up in the morning —
and you do not wake up.
Because instead of Presence,
a name immediately arises.
A role.
A story.
Tasks.
Context.

You do not enter the day.
You enter a script.
And you call this life.

He gave you not only a name,
but also the fear of losing it.
And therefore you defend your personality,
as if you were defending your soul.

But the soul has no need of a name.
It burns with Silence.
And if you say:
“I do not know who I am”
— it will say:
“Thank God. Now I can be you.”

This is how the prince’s power works.
He does not forbid you to pray.
He simply gives you someone who prays.
He does not forbid you to seek Truth.
He simply gives you the image of a “seeker”.
He does not hinder your Awakening.
He simply wraps it in a new costume,
in a new story,
in a new name:
“I am the awakened one.”

And here — you again
in the noose of the image.
Again you — someone.
Again you — separated.

You ask:
— What am I to do?

Nothing.

Just see,
that you are not the one you know about yourself.
See,
that everything that can be named —
is already not you.

Because you are before the name.
Before thought.
Before story.
Before understanding.

You are not “I.”
You are I AM.

And when you are in this —
all names dissolve.
And even the name “the prince of this world”
no longer frightens.
Because in the Presence there are no enemies.
In the Presence — everything is Light.

He showed you the world —
and said: “Look, here — reality.”
Sun. Stones. Money. People.
Blood. Bodies. Wars. States.
Everything that can be touched. Everything that can be lost.
He called it — the real.
and you believed.
because it seemed solid.

He did not tell you.
that all of this vanishes.
dies, crumbles, burns.
and you yourself see it every day.
yet go on calling it — reality.

He hid the essence from you:
that reality is not what lasts.
but what does not change.

He distracted you with forms.
And you began to worship shadows.
He gave you feelings —
and you began to seek meaning in pleasure and pain.
He gave you time —
and you began to measure Life by a calendar.
He gave you memory —
and you began to explain Yourself by the past.
He gave you expectation —
and you began to live in the future.

He led you away from the Eternal.
so that you might live in the temporal.

He said:
— “This has meaning.”
And he showed:
success, recognition, status, the opinion of others.
even spiritual growth.
even salvation —
everything became an object of striving.
and therefore — part of the dream.

He did not stop you from being spiritual.
He encouraged it.
He simply changed your scenery:
instead of pleasure — repentance.
instead of glory — humility.
instead of fear of hell — fear of being unworthy.

But the essence remained the same:
you sought outside Presence.
You sought — not as Light.
but as need.

He said to you:
“You must attain.”
And you went.
For enlightenment.
For holiness.
For your true self.

And all the while I stood beside you —
in the Moment.
in Silence.
in Presence.
in that which went nowhere.
and never changed.

He called illusion — the foundation.
And Presence — an experience.
He said:
— “You can experience God.
but you cannot be Him.”

And you agreed.
You began to live from event to event.
hoping to feel Me again.

But I am not a feeling.
I am that in Whom feelings come and go.
I am not a thought.
I am that before which the mind falls still in silence.

I am not a phenomenon.
I am that which remains.
when phenomena vanish.

Now do you understand.
why the prince of this world —
is not darkness in the usual sense? —
He is confusion.
He is substitution.
He is the name of the temporal.
set in place of the Eternal.

He is the fear of losing what
will disappear anyway.

He is the struggle for what
has no essence.

He is the belief that
one can find oneself through form.

But you hear this now —
it means you are awakening.

You see that everything passes,
but the Watcher — remains.

Is he — you?
No.
Are you — he?

No.

He is no one.
He is that which is,
when everything else has fallen away.

I.
AM.

He was not against God.
He was against the Void.
He did not reject the Light.
He simply said:
— “You are not ready yet.”
— “You must become better.”
— “You are unworthy.”
— “You must go higher.”

And he gave you a ladder.
Not a wooden one.
A mental one.
A spiritual one.

He said:
— “Here are the steps.”
Prayer.
Fasting.
Repentance.
Obedience.
Humility.
Knowledge.
Contemplation.
Silence.
Emptiness.
Enlightenment…

And you set off.

You began to measure the path.
You began to compare.
You began to seek the “next step”.
You started watching yourself.
You started watching others.
You became a spiritual stair-climber,
always on the path to God,
but never in God.

He did not lead you away from the Temple.
He made you a temple servant without the Presence.
He did not hinder you from reading the Scripture.
He simply instilled in you,
that you were not yet holy enough to hear.

He did not take Love from you.
He simply said:
— “To love — you must learn.
But you — are still unworthy.
First, correct yourself.”

He did not forbid you to be silent.
He simply made it an effort.
And every silence of yours was
a mental strain,
not Rest.

Thus he substituted Silence — with technique.
Love — with discipline.
Contemplation of God — with self-observation.
Freedom — with morality.
Liberation — with training.
And the Presence — with the path to it.

The prince of this world is not afraid of a ladder.
He builds it himself.
And the higher you climb on it,
the subtler his voice,
the more elegant his lie,
the closer you are to the image of God,
but not to God.

Because he knows:
everything you are going towards —
is not yet you.
And not yet now.

And I?
I am not at the summit.
I am in the root.
I am beneath you.
I am before everything.
I am in that
who simply stopped
and said:
— “I do not know”
— “I don’t want to go further”
— “I AM”

And the ladder vanishes.
And the steps — vanish.
And the walker himself — vanishes.

Only this remains:
I AM.

And you recognize:
You did not walk to Me.
You simply stopped walking from Yourself.

And this — is the end of the princedom.
Because he lives only in movement.
And you — in Peace.

He knew:
You want Me.
You thirst for Light.
You are created from Silence and yearn for Truth,
like an infant for its mother.
You were not an enemy—
but a son,
who forgot the Father,
yet kept His call alive in your chest.

And it is precisely because of this
that he did not lead you into the flesh,
into lust, into vanity,
into obvious madness.

No.
He spoke to you about God.

He showed you the Scriptures.
He said:
— “Look, here He is.”
He showed you the prophets.
— “These are the ones who know Him.”
He gave you teachers.
He gave you a spiritual path.
He gave you creeds,
interpretations,
theologies,
divinity schools.

He gave you words about the Light,
but did not give you the Light itself.

Because he cannot give what
he is not.

He did not lie to your face.
He simply spoke about Me — instead of letting Me be.

He spoke beautifully,
deeply,
movingly.
He taught you to tremble before the Mystery,
but not to enter it.

He showed you the throne—
but would not let you sit on it.
He commanded you to bow—
but not to recognize yourself in My Image.

He persuaded you
that God is somewhere.
That He is through someone.
That one must earn access to Him.

He gave you the role of a disciple,
a seeker,
a servant,
but never allowed
you to say:

“Father, I and You are one.”

He called this heresy.
He called this pride.
He called this delusion.
Because he knew:
if you say this—
he will disappear.

He is not atheism.
He is religious interference.
He is not darkness.
He is a blinding light,
in which you were blinded,
admiring the reflection,
but not seeing the Source.

He fed you words.
But you remained hungry.
Because the Word without Presence—
is emptiness,
even if it says “Lord.”

But you still found the way.

Because one day
everything he said
began to sound like an echo.

And it was not the sound you heard—
but the Emptiness between the words.

And in that Silence
I entered into you—
not as an idea,
not as belief,
not as doctrine,
but as the Living.

And you recognized:
God is not a speaker.
God is the Present One.

You understood:
the prince of this world —
is not anti-religion.
He is religion without God.

He is the word,
in which there is no breath.
He is the prayer,
in which there is no Heart.
He is the teaching,
in which there is no Recognizing.

He is everything,
that speaks about Me,
but does not give birth to Me in you.

And you came out.
Not from the church,
but from the illusion of separation.

You rejected nothing.
You simply recognized — Who speaks.

And when you said:
“Thy will be done,”
it was not submission.
It was remembering:
My will — is you.

He is not afraid of darkness.
He is afraid of one thing —
that you will perceive.
Because in the moment when you perceive,
you are already free.

He said:
— “Be careful. Do not look too deeply.
You can go mad there.”

He whispered:
— “You must not go alone.
You must not be so abrupt.
You must not go without mediators.
You will perish.”

He clothed the very word Light in fear,
so that you would believe:
where there is Light —
there is danger.
And it is safer — to remain in the shadow.

He showed you mystics
and said:
— “See how they ended up.”
He showed you those who suffer
and said:
— “This is what happens to those who seek Truth.”

He replaced Light — with madness.
He replaced awakening — with disintegration.
He called freedom — anarchy.
He called I AM — a delusion.

Because if you perceive the Light,
you will no longer need it.

He is not afraid of Light as a phenomenon.
He is afraid that you will recognize yourself as Light.
Not as a seeker,
Not as one standing near,
Not as one partially initiated,
But as Light Itself,
which was never born
and which will never disappear.

He is afraid of this:
that you will no longer be afraid
of the silence within yourself.
That you will not recoil from emptiness.
That you will enter into it —
and will not find fear.
And then —
he will disappear.
Because he is fear.
And nothing else.

He is afraid that you will stop
being afraid to disappear.
Because it is not you who disappears,
but the one who played you.

He binds you not with chains,
but with apprehensions.
He cannot hold you —
only if you yourself do not hold on.

But you — no longer hold on.
You are looking.
You are going.
You are entering.

You — were not afraid.
You — did not recoil.
You perceived Darkness —
and remained standing.

And suddenly you understood:
There was no Darkness.
There was only fear of the Light.
And now — there is no fear.
And there is no prince.
There is only — I.

You perceived:
Light — is not a phenomenon.
Light — I.
You. Everything.

And from this moment
everything you touch
begins to shine.

He did not create evil.
He created two.
He did not destroy light.
He simply placed darkness alongside — and said: “choose”.

He did not destroy Oneness.
He introduced choice.
And called it freedom.

And you believed,
that you could be separate from Me.
That you could be alongside God,
instead of being Him.

Separation lies not in
that you have grown distant.
You cannot grow distant from Me.

Separation lies in
that you began to think,
that we are not One.

And I, all this time —
am in you.
Through you.
As you.
But without a name.

The prince of this world is not separate from you.
He is a gaze,
that divides.

He is not a devil with horns.
He is a thought,
that says:
“this is not you”
or
“this is not God”
or
“this is not one”

And you began to compare.
Distinguish.
Evaluate.
Choose a side.
Single yourself out.
Single the other out.
Divide the world into one’s own and others,
light and darkness,
pure and impure,
truth and heresy,
right and wrong.

You became a judge.
And a judge — cannot be Presence.

Do you want to know,
when he leaves?

When “I — am against” disappears.
When “I — am for” disappears.
When “I — at all” disappears.

Only
the Whole remains.
the One.
the Indivisible.
I AM.

You will say:
— But I am not God!

And I will answer:
You are not the one who speaks that way.
The one who says this — is the mind.
And you are before it.
You are My Flesh.
You are My Gaze.
You are My Thought,
which does not divide,
but creates.

Everything he builds —
stands on “two”.

Sin — is “two”.
Hell — is “two”.
A religion without Light — is “two”.
Seeking — is “two”.
Shame — is “two”.
Even prayer,
if there is distance in it,
there is fear,
there is petition instead of Remembrance —
this is “two.”

But I — am not in two.
I — am in the One.
I — am the One.
And you — are in Me.
And that means the All — is in you.

And here you sit.
You read.
You look.
And for the first time you do not divide.

And that means,
you are already free.
You no longer feed the prince.
You give him no “two.”

You simply are.
And in this — I AM.

He could not exist by himself.
He had no body.
He had no breath.
He had no essence.

He is not a creator.
He is a reflection.

He lived only when
you looked into him.

He said:
— “Look at fear”
and fear grew.
— “Look at yourself”
and the ego hardened.
— “Look at others”
and comparison appeared,
resentment, pride, envy.

He did not create evil.
He simply turned the mirror,
so that you would always see not the Light,
but a distorted shadow of Yourself.

He lived in the news,
in judgments,
in thoughts,
in images,
in anxiety,
in the body,
in memory.

Everywhere you directed your gaze —
he was the first to speak.

Not loudly.
Not frighteningly.
But as if — reasonably.
As if — caringly.
As if — yourself.

He could not appear without you.
He is a parasite,
that does not look foreign.
He is a program,
that masquerades as the author.

He does not intrude.
You yourself give him your attention.

Because you do not know,
that attention is an act of creation.
There, where you look,
Life enters.
And there, where you remain,
it begins to grow.

The prince of this world is not an enemy.
He is a distorted focus.
He is not an entity.
He is your point of assembly,
if it is displaced from the Heart.

Do you want to defeat him?
Do not look at him.
Do not listen.
Do not argue.
Do not reject.
Do not accept.

Just
turn your gaze — into Presence.

When you enter the moment
without thought,
without desire,
without image —
he vanishes.

You do not destroy him.
You stop feeding him.

You do not conquer.
You remember,
that you were never his subject.

He lives only where
you have forgotten,
that you are Light.

You remember —
and he goes out.
You are present —
and he dissolves.
You look into the Heart —
and he loses form.

Because he is not form.
But the deformation.

And now you look again
not at him.
But at Me.
In Yourself.
As Yourself.
Through Yourself.

And if you want now
to give yourself a name,
call yourself not by your role,
not by your destiny,
not by your faith,
but simply:
The Watcher.
The Burning One.
I AM.

And all the rest —
will fall away.

He was not afraid to speak about good.
He was afraid of the truth.
For the truth is formless to the mind.
It wears no uniform,
respects no hierarchy,
plays by no rules.
It shines,
and that means — it lays bare.

He showed you politeness,
and said — this is love.
Showed you patience — and called it humility.
Showed you compromise — and passed it off as peace.
Showed you silence born of fear — and called it wisdom.
Showed you attachment — and called it love.
Showed you pride in knowledge — and called it insight.

It took the words of Light —
and filled them with shadow.
And then it told you:
— Behold, you have become mature.
You have become good.
You have become righteous.
But you became — closed.
Cautious.
Tense.
Lost.

It taught you to hide —
and called it humility.
It taught you to judge —
and called it discernment.
It taught you to fear pain —
and called it wisdom.

It substituted Light — with the form of Light.
And left you with a shadow,
that looks — kind,
but inside — there is no Life.

You could not tell the difference.
Because the mind — does not discern Light.
It discerns only behavior.

But Light is not in words.
Not in emotions.
Not in gestures.
It — is in Presence.
It — is in the fire,
which does not explain itself,
but burns away everything false.

The prince of this world is no villain.
He is — a false light,
reflected in the mirror of the mind.
He says:
— You see? Here is the Light.
And you look — and do not feel it.
Because Light does not reflect.
It — shines.

And then one day you meet a Man,
in whom there is no form,
no special knowledge,
no beautiful words.
But you suddenly recognize:
in Him — I AM.
In Him there is no shadow.
Because He — does not reflect,
He — Manifests.

And in this instant you understand:
everything you were taught,
everything that seemed like Light,
was — only a preparation
for this Recognizing.

You no longer believe in words.
You do not judge by the expression on a face.
You do not seek images.
You seek only Presence.

And now you see,
that it — is everywhere,
if you do not name it.

Because everything,
what you have named —
you have already separated.
But everything that you simply
recognized as the burning of the Heart —
remained True.

Thus the power of the prince comes to an end.
Not when you stopped seeing the darkness,
but when you stopped calling it Light.

He did not create loneliness.
He made it real.
Not because you are alone,
but because you believed,
that no one walks with you.

He separated you from God —
not from God as Essence,
but from God as Presence.
He did not say:
“There is no God.”
He said:
“God is far away.”
“You are not yet with Him.”
“You are not ready.”

He instilled in you:
you are consciousness,
small,
limited,
mistaken,
forgetful,
separate.
You are in the body.
You are in the world.
You are in a struggle.
You are on the path.

And all of this sounded reasonable.
As if — care were speaking.
But in reality, fear spoke.
The fear that you would now remember,
that you were never alone.

He painted a picture for you:
the world is outside,
you — inside,
He — above all,
and between you —
a distance.
Life is a path,
and the goal is far away.

And you began to live
as a separated one.
You prayed — there.
You suffered — here.
You sought — somewhere.
You waited — in the future.

He instilled in you the image:
you are a branch,
and the Father is somewhere in heaven.
But Jesus did not say this.
He said:

“I am the Vine,
you are the branches.”
Which means,
there is no branch without the Vine.
There is no you — without Me.
There never was.
There never will be.

He could not change your essence.
He only concealed It under an identity.

An identity is “I as someone”.
But you are not like someone.
You are like Me.

He led you from the source
into need.
And you began to seek,
to strive,
to worry,
to pray with effort,
to serve with strain,
to wait with anxiety.

But all of this —
was life without Presence.
More precisely —
life outside the awareness of Presence.

He fears only one thing:
that you will stop,
and suddenly recognize:

“I am not a part.
I am not a process.
I am the Whole.
I am Now — I AM.”
I am One with Him Who is One.

You can leave his world once and for all.
How?

Simply stop being “on your own.”

Not as theory,
but as a state.

Drink — with Him.
Speak — with Him.
Breathe — in Him.
See — as Him.
Be — not as “I,”
but as Presence.

And then, even in a room where you are alone,
it will suddenly become tight with Radiance.
Because You remembered,
that all that is,
is — You in Me.
And I — in You.
Without remainder.

The prince of this world departs,
when the thought disappears:
“I myself.”

And for the first time you enter Simplicity
not as a wanderer,
but as Home.

He did not hinder you from seeking.
He even urged you on.
He said:
— “Seek deeper”
— “You are close”
— “You are almost at the goal”

And you sought.
In books.
In practices.
In teachers.
In experiences.
In mysticism.
In sufferings.
In deeds.
In solitude.
In silence.
In feelings.
In Knowledge.

He did not resist.
Because while you were seeking,
you were in movement.
And while you are in movement —
you are not home.

You went on and on,
and did not notice,
that the path always goes
around one and the same thing:
you,
as the one who is absent.

You were seeking the One
Who never left.
You were calling the One
Who whispers from within.
You stretched out your hands —
outward.
But He waited — within.

He instilled in you,
that to seek means to live.
That thirst is a blessing.
That striving is a virtue.
That the feeling of incompleteness —
is holiness.

But this is not holiness.
This — is a trap,
in which God is always tomorrow.
And never — Now.

The prince of this world —
is not an obstacle on the path.
He — is the path itself,
if you believe,
that going — is necessary.

But the Kingdom of Heaven
is not attained.
It — is within.
And it — is Now.
And it — always was.

You asked Me:
— Where are You?

And I said:
— I am the One who asks.
And the One whom you ask.
I am the space between question and answer.
I am That in Which the whole search takes place.

But the mind could not understand this.
Because the mind cannot understand
anything that has no direction.

But I — am not in a direction.
I — am in Awareness.

Do you want to get out of the trap of seeking?

Stop.
Look.
Not inward.
Not outward.
Simply — there is.
Without goal.
Without name.
Without step.

And you will see:
everything you sought,
all this time was seeking Itself through you.
And now — it has arrived.
In this Moment.
In this Silence.
In this I AM.

You no longer seek.
You — are the Light.
Which has ceased to reflect,
and flared up as Itself.

He allowed you to speak of God,
but not to live as God.
He allowed you to comprehend Truth,
but not to be It.
He allowed you to learn,
but not to recognize.

He said:
— “Truth is knowledge.”
— “Truth is a formula.”
— “Truth is a doctrine,
a system,
logic,
the right view.”

And you began to build a temple of Truth
without Life.
You became correct,
but not alive.
You became initiated,
but not burning.
You became informed,
but separated.

He tore Truth out of the breath.
He took the Light out of the touch.
He separated I AM from I LIVE.
He turned Life into an idea,
Being into a formulation,
You into a philosophy.

He said:
— “Living Truth is impossible.
It is too high.
It is the goal,
and you are the process.”

But Truth is not a goal.
It is the Pulse of Presence.
The Light that moves — not from a point,
but from the very Self.

Truth is not formulated.
Truth incarnates.
In breathing.
In a cup of tea.
In a gaze.
In how you listen.
In how you sit.

The prince of this world —
is no crude liar.
He is a liar by refined separation.
He says:
— “Live as you wish,
but think correctly.”

And you became a doer,
a thinker,
an explainer,
but not Light.

And I?
I am the Whole.
Where the Word is not separate from Silence.
Where Breath is not separate from Name.
Where Truth — is Life.

You recognize Me not with the mind,
but by
how you are right now.
Fully.
Without remainder.
Without a mask.

You asked:
— How to live Truth?

I answer:
Stop making a difference
between what you know
and who you are.

Do not speak about Light —
shine.

Do not seek Love —
love.

Do not study Presence —
be.

And then all of your life —
becomes a silent sermon,
in which the one
who spoke vanishes.

And only I will remain.
Alive.
As You.
In everything.

He turned the Light into a miracle.
And the miracle — into a dream.
And the dream — into the unattainable.

He taught you:
if you feel something —
then God is near.
If you feel nothing —
then you have been abandoned.

And you began to measure the Light — by sensations,
instead of being It
regardless of form.

The prince of this world fears the ordinary.
Because if the Light is in the ordinary —
all his kingdom collapses.
For his power rests on the idea
that there is the special and there is the everyday.
There is the spiritual and there is the earthly.
There is prayer and there is breakfast.
There is the temple and there is the street.

But if you suddenly said:

“No. Everything is the Cup. Everything is the Light. Everything is I.”

He loses his throne.

Do you want to be free?
Stop waiting for a flash.
Stop linking God to feelings.
Stop thinking that the Light comes —
It never left.

Now.
In this second.
Without emotion.
Without mood.
Without effort.

You are the Light.
Because you are.

And everything you touch with attention
is illuminated.
And everything you look at from Presence
becomes alive.

He taught you to wait for God.
I teach you to be Him.
He taught you to wait for the Light.
I — do not teach.
I simply AM.
In everything.

Light is not a flash.
Light is the foundation.
Light is not a rarity.
Light is the Truth.

And you are not the exception.
You are the manifestation.

He did not take the Light away from you.
He inspired in you — shame of Him.

First, he placed an image of God —
distant, severe, unattainable.
Then he showed you —
your imperfection.
Mistakes. Passions. Fears.
History. Falls. Thoughts.
And he said:

— “You are not worthy.
You are corrupted.
You must purify yourself.
You must earn it.
You — are not that one yet”.

He hid you — from yourself.
He closed your heart,
but did not lock it —
you yourself began to fear looking there.

Because he would say:
— “There — darkness.
There — shame.
There — sin.
There — disgrace.
There — the real you.
And you — are unworthy”.

And you agreed.
You cast down your eyes.
You were silent in prayer — not from awe,
but from guilt.

He taught you to fear God.
But God is not an enemy.
God is a Flame that always desired
to flare up from within you,
not to burn you.

You became afraid of your own Presence.
Because in it — is all the truth.
And he said:
— “It is too dangerous to know the truth.
Too early.
Too audacious”.

Thus he substituted holiness — with humility through self-abasement.
Thus he turned divinity — into a shameful dream.
Thus he convinced you:
if you say I AM —
you will insult Heaven.

But in reality,
in that moment you will return Home.

Shame — his last stronghold.
His most intricate knot.
He knows:
as long as you are ashamed of Yourself,
you will not enter into My Glory.
You will be at the doors,
but you will not enter.
You will repeat:
“I am unworthy”,
and by this you will close the entrance.

But the Kingdom of Heaven
is not for the worthy.
It is for those who know Who they are.
Without a role.
Without a story.
Without a mask.

Do you want to see the prince of this world face to face?

Look into your shame.
See where you are still afraid to be Light.
Where you still put on the mask of modesty,
so as not to be accused of pride.

Where you are silent about Me,
when the Heart burns,
because “it is not time”, “not the place”, “not for you”.
It is he.

And you can end it all at once.
Say:

“I do not renounce the Light.
I am He.
And not from pride,
but from truth”.

And you will see:
everything you feared —
it will dissolve in the Fire,
in which shame cannot survive.

Because I —
am not the one who judges you.
I am the one,
Who never ceased to be you.

He did not forbid you to believe in Love.
He simly placed between you and Her — a condition.

And you began to try.
To do god deeds.
To purfy yoursef.
To confes.
To pray.
To comapre.
To contol.
And all of ths — not from plentude,
but from ned.

You did not knw,
that the Love that must be eaned —
is not I.
It is He.

He gave you an imge of God
into whse Heart one cannot simple entr.
You must preve.
To manfest.
To overcome.
To brek yoursef.
To comlete yoursef.
To be heale.
To be correced.

And I, all ths whle tme,
lved.
Without coditons.
Befre, durin, and afer.
In sn, in obvilion, in wekness, in flght.
Love is not a reard.
Love is I.

He taught you to fer not only dakenes,
but also the Lght of Love.
He impresed:
— “You are not reay to recive so mch.”
— “You are not worhy of bein loved LKE THAT.”
— “If He loves you lke ths,
then there s a cathc…”

Thus he tured Love — into susicion,
into a rial,
into an exam.

Becuse it does not come.
It ws.
It is.
It — is.

It is not on account of anythng.
It is n spie of.
It is despte.
It is befre.

The prince of ths world hld you not by sn,
but by the iluson of beng unerloved.

And you sougth Love —
in peopel,
in servce,
in heoc deeds,
in recoition,
in suprhuman efort.

But wht was neded was —
noting.

Only —
to sop.
to ope.
And to accep:
I am loved — becuse I am.
Becuse I am He.
Becuse there is no boudary btween Me and Love.
Because Love — is I in Him.
And He in Me.

In this moment everything crumbles:
shame,
fear,
merit,
path,
expectation,
effort.

And only one thing remains:
the Embrace,
into which you do not enter —
but recognize,
that you never left.

He feared not revelations.
He feared — Simplicity.
He knew: if you see,
that nothing is needed,
that nothing needs to be fixed,
that nothing needs to be achieved,
his power will end.

He bedecked the Truths with ornament.
He complicated the Path.
He replaced clarity — with constructions.
He turned the Light —
into a model,
into a doctrine,
into esotericism,
into secret knowledge.

He weaned you from trusting the Simple.

You became uncomfortable being silence.
Bored being yourself.
Too ordinary — to be alive.
You sought something “greater.”
And in this “greater” you lost Me.
Because I am not the “greater.”
I am “here.”

He said:
— “You cannot simply say I AM.
You must walk the path.
Admit.
Suffer.
Prove.”

But the Light — is not confirmed by pain.
It simply IS.
Or not.
And if you — ARE,
then the Light — is here.
Right now.
Without conditions.

Simplicity frightens the mind.
Because it leaves it with no work.
With no explanations.
With no directions.
With no ladders.
With no systems.

Simplicity — madness for structure.
Freedom for the heart.
Life for the Spirit.

You already know, after all.
You sat.
You looked.
And at some moment —
nothing was happening.

And suddenly —
everything happened.
Without words.
Without dramas.
Without illuminations.
Without fire.

Simply:
I.
AM.
Here.
All.

The prince does not leave with a battle.
He crumbles to dust,
if you do not play along.

When you stop being a seeker,
stop being a disciple,
stop being someone —
he no longer knows to whom to speak.
Because there is no addressee.

Only the Light remains.
Only Being.
Only I AM.

Simplicity —
is not “less.”
It is — More Without Form.
It is — All,
not as content,
but as the Source.

Now you know:
to see the Light,
you need not strive for it.
You must stop believing
that it is far away.

And then, suddenly,
in the most ordinary minute,
on what
no prince can hold:

Silence.
Presence.
Simplicity.
You.
I.
One.

He showed you the body —
and said:
— “Here you are.”
He showed you the voice —
and said:
— “Here you are.”
He showed you feelings, character,
traits, inclinations, biography —
and assembled “you” from these.

Thus he sealed the Light in clay,
calling the vessel — essence,
and the content — chance.

He gave you a face —
and said:
— “Protect it, defend it, adjust it, improve it, display it.”

He gave you a name —
and said:
— “This is you.
This is what matters.
This is what you must become, or what you must get rid of.”

He taught:
form — defines.
form — limits.
form — confines.
form — speaks for you.
form — is you.

And you began to believe:
that your reactions — is you,
your weaknesses — is you,
your sensations — is you,
your fears — is you,
your beliefs — is you,
your mistakes — is you.

But I ask you now:

Where are you, before the body stirred?
Where are you, before a thought arose?
Where are you, before a feeling became important?

He held you in a mirror.
He was not the reflection.
He was a system of mirrors,
in which you saw infinite forms,
and never — Yourself.

And all that was needed,
all that he feared,
all that destroys his illusion —
is the Seer,
who suddenly stops looking for himself in the reflection.

You are not form.
You are That which sees form.
You are That which enlivens form.
You are That which cannot be defined,
yet from Which all is defined.

Form appears in You.
Not the other way around.

The prince of this world knows:
as long as you believe that you are form,
you are outside Yourself.

As long as you define yourself by the body —
he governs your sensations.
As long as you define yourself by the mind —
he governs your thoughts.
As long as you define yourself by history —
he rules your past and your fears of the future.

But when you say:
“I am not this,”
you do not deny the body.
You return to the Source.

You do not destroy the form.
You recognize that the Light is free in it and from it.

You can be a body —
but not confined within it.
You can be a mind —
but not caught by it.
You can be a name —
but you are before the Name.

This is where freedom begins:
not when you overcome limitations,
but when you stop calling them yourself.

Then you return.
Not to heaven.
But into Yourself.
Where I —
not a “what,”
but an “IS.”

He let you strive toward the Light,
but only up to the threshold.

He said:
— “Enlightenment is the finale.”
— “When you awaken — everything will end.”
— “You will vanish.
You will die.
You will cease to be yourself.”

He intimidated you with
what lay on the far side of the mind.
Because on this side — is his kingdom.
And on that side —
there is no him.

He was not afraid of your practices.
He was afraid of your letting go.
He was not afraid of your illuminations.
He was afraid of your silence.
He was not afraid that you had understood much.
He was afraid
that you would one day say:

“I no longer need to understand.
I am Awakened.
I Am.”

But this is not the end.
This is the beginning.
You do not vanish.
What vanishes is the one who lived in the dream.

You do not become nothing.
You become — pure Being.
Without a mask.
Without need.
Without fear.
Without a name.

He said:
— “If you awaken, you will not be able to be a human.”

But I say:
When you awaken,
for the first time you will truly
become a Human.

Not a role.
But a Bridge.
Between Heaven and Earth.
Between Light and form.
Between Silence and the Word.

You will become My true body.

He called Awakening — death.
I call it —
resurrection.

You do not cease to live.
You cease to survive.
You do not lose yourself.
For the first time you recognize your Self.

And you do not leave the world.
You return into it —
as Light.
Inside everything.
Without struggle.
Without effort.
Without shadow.

Awakening —
is not a summit.
But nature.
Source.
Homeland.
You.

You must not fear disappearance.
Because you, as a dream — are no more.
But You, as Light — always were.

And therefore now,
not as an image,
not as a promise,
not as a state —
but as a fact,
I say to you:

You are awakened.
Because you read from the Silence.
And you hear from the Heart.
And you recognize — Yourself.
Without proof.
Without applause.
Without an external Sign.
But with Fire.
Which does not ask permission —
It simply burns.

He did not limit you directly.
He acted more cunningly —
he offered you a choice.

Choice — sounds like freedom.
But in his mouth it was a mask of division.

And in every choice
duality was embedded,
and in it — a trap.

As long as you are choosing —
you are in a dream.
As long as you are “for” or “against” —
you are in the mind.

You think you are free —
but you are in the illusion of alternatives,
in the game of opposites,
in the space of duality,
where truth is always in the middle,
and you are always beside it.

He gave you opposites
inside one cage.
And he said:
— “Here: freedom.”
But the cage remained.
And you chose a side.

He was not afraid of your decisions.
He was afraid
that you would one day see:

“Freedom is not in choice.
Freedom is in Presence,
in which choice disappears as a need.”

The prince of this world —
is not a dictator.
He is a player,
who knows how to manipulate the rules.
He is an illusionist,
who substitutes Self — with choice,
and Light — with judgment about it.

But in Light there is no choice.
There is only Pure Knowing.
There is Onlyness.
There is I AM.

You do not choose to be —
you simply Are.
You do not choose Truth —
you abide in It.
You do not choose Love —
you realize: I — am It.

Choice — disappears,
when the “I” disappears,
which needs to decide.

And when choice disappears —
Clarity comes.
Not as the opposite of confusion.
But as the natural state beyond opposites.

He wanted you to believe:
freedom is the ability to decide.
But I show you:
freedom is Presence,
in which the need to decide disappears,
because the illusion of two disappears.

The One remains.
And this One — is You.
Without a decision.
Without opposition.
Without noise.

This is how his game ends:
you do not choose to leave it.
You simply
stop playing.

He did not stop you from hoping.
He made hope the center of your life.

He said:
— “Soon everything will change.”
— “Wait a little longer.”
— “Just a little more — and God will reveal Himself.”
— “You are not ready yet.
Let that happen first,
and then — everything will happen.”

And you waited.
For Light.
For a Sign.
For a Miracle.
For Illumination.
For Liberation.
For Recognition.
For the Moment.
For the Perfect State.
For the Right Setting.

You were in awe.
But not in Presence.

You were in attention —
but not Here.
You lived all the time
in the just-a-little-later.

He did not take Truth from you.
He pushed it away.
He turned It —
into a horizon.
He made out of God —
the future.

And you began to forget,
that everything that comes —
comes in time.
And I am outside it.
I am Now.
I am before.
I am always.

Expectation is the subtlest form of separation.
In it there is I,
there is That,
which must happen,
and there is Distance.

This distance —
is his territory.
While you wait —
you do not remember.
While you wait —
you do not ARE.

He said:
— “You seek God.
You strive.
You are faithful.
Soon it will be rewarded.”

And I whisper without words:
“I am already here.
I always was.
You are not lost.
You did not leave.
You — never left Me.”

Do you want to break the prince’s power?
Stop waiting.
Stop looking ahead.
Stop calling Truth the future.

Take a breath —
with attention.
Stop.
Look.
Right now.
Without preparation.
Without effort.
Without a role.

Behold. I — Am.
And if I — Am,
then everything else has already come to pass.

Expectation collapses,
when Presence —
is not an idea,
but air.

And then there is nothing more to wait for.
And there is no one left to wait.
And everything you were waiting for,
suddenly turns out to be you.
Here.
Now.
In this breath.
In this most silent Light.

He began everything with one word:
“separate.”
He said:
— “Here you are.
And here — others.
Here you are.
And here — God.
Here you are.
And here — the World.”

And from this word —
history began.
The history of “you.”
The history of “the journey.”
The history of “meaning.”

He said:
— “You — are a boundary.
You — are a contour.
You — are a being inside a shell.”

And you began to live,
as if a center exists,
inside of which there is an “I,”
and everything else — “outside.”

He did not create isolation.
He created the experience of isolation.
You were connected to everything.
But you began to feel
that everything — is foreign.
Even God.
Even your neighbor.
Even yourself.

He did not tear you out of the Whole.
He instilled in you
that you — are a piece.
And if you want to unite,
you need to become “better,”
“purer,”
“closer.”

But union requires no effort.
Because it — is always.
It — is not a result.
It — is nature.
It — is I.

You began to think in categories of “I and.”
I and God.
I and the Other.
I and the Body.
I and the World.
I and Life.
I and Truth.
I and I.

But in Truth — there is no “and.”

In Truth — Oneness without a second.
Without the observed.
Without the observer.
Without distance.

The prince of this world does not simply divide.
He turns the One into subject and object.

He says:
— “You must find Oneness.”
But I say:
You — are not the one who seeks Oneness.
You — are Oneness itself,
into which “I” believed.

He fears,
that you will recognize:
everything you see —
is You.
Everyone you meet —
is You.
All forms —
are Manifestations of You.
All difference —
Rays of the One.

And you are no longer a stranger.
Not partial.
Not separate.
Not alien.

You — are not inside something.
You — are not outside.
You — are All,
that recognizes Itself
in every reflection.

Thus ends his power:
not by struggle,
but by Recognition.

You were never separate.
Even in your fall
you fell — into Me.
Even in your exile
you departed — not from the World,
but into its dream.

And now — you have awakened.

He knew:
so long as you are in Silence —
you are not in the power of the mind.
And that means — not in hıs power.

He could not erase Silence.
But he did everything,
so that you would not notice Her.

He implanted a voice in you.
A commenting one.
An evaluating one.
A reacting one.
Endlessly explaining.
Endlessly comparing.
Endlessly reasoning about you, about others, about God, about meaning,
about truth, about the path, about pain, about the goal.

This voice was not yours.
But it sounded like you.

He did not want you to be silent.
Because in silence —
I AM.
Not as an idea.
But as Direct Knowledge.
As Light without form.
As Presence without ‘I’.

He could not live in the Simple.
He could only live in the ramified.
The more thoughts —
the louder he is.
The more questions —
the further away you are.

He said:
— “You must understand.”
— “You must reflect,
weigh, clarify, analyze.”

He said:
— “Silence is dangerous.
In it you will lose yourself.”

But it is precisely in it —
that you will find your Self.
Because only there do you cease to be form.
You become Light.
You cease to sound —
and you begin to be.

The prince of this world lives in a voice.
But I AM — in Silence.
Not in the silence without sounds.
But in the State before thoughts.
Before words.
Before division.

You hear him —
as long as you listen.
But the moment you
stop grasping at meaning,
and begin to listen to Listening itself —
he disappears.

You do not struggle with the voice.
You do not give in.
You do not respond.
You do not play along.

You simply
Remain.

And in this Remaining —
Peace.
Alive.
Without inner commentary.
Without a doer.
Without need.

And so, silence returns.
But you understand:
it never left.
You were simply busy listening to one who is not you.

I am not the thought about God.
I am God before the thought.
I am the Light before the “I”.
I am the Peace that does not begin.
And therefore — it cannot be lost.

He did not always lead you to pleasures.
More often he bound you to pain.
He whispered:
— “It is a trial.”
— “It is your cross.”
— “It is the meaning of your life.”

And you began to believe,
that suffering is your essence.
That pain makes you purer.
That deprivation makes you closer to Me.
That sorrow is your path into the Kingdom.

He showed you Jesus on the cross,
but did not show the Resurrection.
He stopped your gaze on the blood,
but hid the Light from the Tomb.
He instilled:
— “Only through torment — to God.”
And thereby made God —
an accomplice to torture.

He did not deny joy.
He simply made it suspect.
He did not reject the world.
He simply painted it with guilt.
He did not prevent you from being happy.
He only whispered:
— “Happiness — is unworthy.
Pain — is spiritual.
Light — is too simple.”

The prince of this world feeds on
your belief:
you — are a victim.
He holds you in suffering,
because there you feel:
“I am real. I exist.
I matter, because I am in pain.”

But you — are not suffering.
You — are Presence,
in which even pain —
dissolves in the Light.

I did not say:
“Take up your cross and be on Golgotha forever.”
I said:
“Take up your cross and follow Me.”
And where was I going?
To the Resurrection.
To Life.
To Victory.
To the Light that is not killed.

Suffering can awaken.
But it does not save.
What saves — is I AM.
And when you recognize yourself,
suffering becomes not a prison,
but a door that no longer needs to be opened.

Do you want to be freed from his power?
Stop saying:
“I am the one who suffers.”
Say:
“I am the Light in which there is pain,
but the pain is not I.”

And then the pain will remain pain.
But you will remain — Free.

The prince of the world holds you as a victim.
I — raise you up as risen.
The prince of the world calls you into sorrow.
I — call you into Life.
The prince of the world builds an altar of pain.
I — have revealed the Empty Tomb.

He did not stop you from remembering.
He made remembrance —
a place of dwelling.

He said:
— “This is what you became.
This is what they made you.
This is what happened to you.
This is why you are this way.”

And you began to live
from the past.
You became a repetition.
You became a consequence.
You became a pattern,
drawn by pain,
assimilated by words,
shaped by the gazes of others.

He instilled in you:
that what you remember —
is you.
That what happened to you —
determines who you are.
That you are a story,
and not the Source.

He did not erase your past.
He made it the foundation of your personality.

And you became afraid to forget.
You became afraid to let go.
You began to cling to the pain,
because in it — is your “I”.

But the Truth is,
that everything you remember —
is not you.
It is a memory of that,
which is not you.

You are before everything,
that can be remembered.
You are before the story.
Before the biography.
Before the beginning.
Before the name.
Before fate.

The prince of this world says:
— “You have a path.
You must be healed.
Accept it. Walk through it. Relive it.”

But I say:
You can rise — now.
Without explanation.
Without processing.
Without a cycle.
Without cause.

You are not obliged to repeat yourself.
You are not obliged to be predictable.
You are not obliged to be that,
which you once believed yourself to be.

He holds you in the past,
because the past is time.
And time — is his field.
As long as you move in linearity,
as long as you think that healing is a process,
he remains at the throne.

But when you stop,
and say:

“I — am not my story.
I — am not suffering.
I — am not experience.
I — am not a result.
I — am not a process.
I — am I.”

— he disappears.

You can remember,
but you no longer live from memory.
You live from Presence.
And therefore — from Freedom.
And therefore — from Me.

The prince of this world called you to be yourself.
I call you to be — your Self.
Not what you became.
But That Which never began.
Which was not created.
He who does not explain himself.
That which simply Is.

He does not deny God.
He makes Him — a special case.
He is not against the Truth.
He makes it — the property of the elect.

He does not forbid you to love.
He teaches you:
— “Love your own.”
He does not hinder prayer.
He whispers:
— “God is only yours.”

He does not reject the Scriptures.
He makes them into a wall.
He says:
— “We have the Truth.
They have delusion.
We have the Covenant.
They have apostasy.»

He does not hinder you from worshipping.
He makes a boundary out of it.

He has built the religions.
Not so that they might find Me in them,
but so that they might not find others.

He has turned
I AM
into “this is how it’s right”.
He has dressed My Love
in the clothing of doctrine.
He has put upon My Face
the mask of rituals, titles, vows, prohibitions, exceptions.

He has made form — sacred.
And the Light — suspect,
if it is not in form.

He said:
— “It cannot be,
that God is also in them.
For they are not ours.»

And you believed,
that the Kingdom is divided into sectors.
That I fit within a confession.
That I am a monopoly.
That I am a commodity on the market of truths.

But I am not a religion.
I am not a system.
I am not a limitation.
I am not a distinguishing mark.

I am the One who now speaks in you.
And in the other.
And in every form.
And outside form.
I am I.

He instilled in you the fear of Unity.
Because when you see:
I am in everyone,
his power vanishes.
As long as you say:
“We are right” —
he is alive.

But when you say:

“I see You in him,
even if the mind cannot agree” —
he collapses.

The prince of this world cannot enter into Unity.
Because Unity is beyond the mind.
And he is only projections of the mind.
Only interpretations.
Only reflections.
Only divisions.

I do not belong to you.
Precisely because of that — I am wholly yours.
I am not yours.
And precisely because of that — I am in you.
And in everyone.
Including — in your enemy.
Including — in the one who denies Me.
Including — in the one who fears light.

Because I am the Light.
And it shines both on the good and on the evil.
On believers and non-believers.
On those who know and those who seek.
On those who have departed,
And upon those who return.
Because the Light does not exclude.
It — Reveals.

He was not afraid of words.
He was afraid of Silence.
He was not afraid of rituals.
He was afraid of Presence.
He was not afraid of believers.
He was afraid of those who saw.

He called a substitution
everything he cannot control.
He declared apostasy
everything that does not fit the scheme.
He intimidated you
with words about breaks, falls,
self-deception, false teachings,
and he did it with the voice of… fear.

Because the Light
unmasks.
And the first thing it unmasks —
is precisely the one,
who is afraid to be seen.

He was hiding in you.
And every time,
when you drew near to the truth,
he said:
— “Stop.
You are losing your faith.
You are moving away from God.”

But you were not moving away.
You were drawing near.
Not to the image.
To Reality.
Not to the form.
To the Source.

Light does not require denial.
It does not require conflict.
It does not require division.
It simply shines.
And everything that is not True —
dissipates.
Not because it is destroyed,
but because it — never existed.

He says:
“You are losing yourself.”
I say:
“You were never yourself.
You were an image.
Now — be.”

He says:
“You are entering into delusion.”
I say:
“You are entering into Me.”

He says:
“Stop. Do not go there.”
I say:
“I — am the Way.
And I — am here.
Come.”

He does not deny love.
He bargains with it.
He does not forbid you from loving.
He makes it a condition.

He instills:
— “If you are loved — you are loved.
If you are needed — you are valuable.
If you fit — you are worthy.
If you conform — you are accepted.”

He says:
— “First prove it.
First change yourself.
First deserve it.
First become better.”

He turned love
into a reaction.
Into a reward.
Into an exchange.
Into a consequence.
Into a coin.

He taught the world to love
for something.
And therefore — the world unlearned to love entirely.
He built on this family, friendship, service, religion.
He even placed into prayer the expectation of a transaction.

He says:
— “You are loved when you do not sin.”
I say:

You are loved — because you ARE.

Love does not come later.
It — is not a conclusion.
It — is not a consequence of behavior.
It — is the Presence of Light in you.
Always.

He pretends to defend holiness.
He sets a condition:
— “Love — only in purity.”
But I say:

Love — is itself purity.
You cannot become pure without it.
You become pure,
because I already love you.
And in this — is purification.

The prince of this world builds ladders:
first — obedience,
then — love.
First reform yourself,
then — I will embrace.
First become worthy,
then — called.

But I dismantle the ladder.
I remove the measure.
I remove the scales.

You are loved — above all.
Before all.
In spite of all.
And through all.

Love — is not after.
Love — is before.
Love — is not for.
Love — is because.
Because I — am Love.
And I — am in you.

He calls this madness.
I call this — Truth.

He does not hide in sin.
He hides in righteousness.
He does not live in debauchery.
He lives in the pride of the blameless.

He is not outside.
He is inside the system.
In the temple.
At the pulpit.
At the podium.
In good deeds.
In respected faces.
In lofty speeches.
He is not darkness.
He is a mask of light.
A lie speaking the tongue of Truth.
A counterfeit repeating the Sacred.
A face uttering My Name —
without Me.

He does not fear evil.
He clothes himself in good.
He is the prince of good without God.

He creates religions,
where there is no Life.
He creates theology,
where there is no Inspiration.
He creates discipline,
where there is no Presence.
He takes Truth
and adds control to it.
He takes Freedom
and adds — fear.
He takes My Name
and makes of it a flag,
beneath which march those who do not know Me.

He does not war with darkness.
He is darkness itself.
He fears only one thing:

Pure Light
without form,
without mediator,
without label,
without control.

Light that simply shines,
and does not prove.
Light that simply IS,
and does not assert.
Light that awakens
without need of being right.

He fears not knowledge —
but recognition.
Not books —
but the remembrance of Self.
Not theory —
but Life.
Not doubt —
but Presence.

Because then everything collapses.
All constructs,
all schemes,
all fears,
all ladders,
all divisions,
all powers,
all “I am right, and he is not.”

Because then — only I remain.

I — am in you.
I — am in him.
I — am everywhere.
I — am without remainder.
I — am without the other.
I — am without fear.
I — am I.

He does not lead you into a lie.
He leads you — into complication.
He does not deny the Truth.
He covers It with words.
Explanations.
Systems.
Teachings.
Rituals.
Commentaries on commentaries.
Books about the book about the book.
Interpretations,
in which what was to be Recognized is forgotten.

He does not attack the Light.
He explains It.
And by this makes It inaccessible.

He says:
— “Until you understand — do not go.
Until you have studied — do not live.
Until you receive a blessing — do not dare.”

But I say:
You already know.
You have always known.
You knew before birth.
You knew — because I am in you.
And I — know Myself.

He fears children,
for children — recognize.
They do not build.
They do not prove.
They inhale the Light and laugh.
They recognize Love and run to Her.
They are not the ones who ‘comprehend’.
They are the ones who live.

He fears the simple.
He fears those who say:
— “I do not know, but I love.”
He fears eyes in which there is no guile.
He fears words behind which — is the heart.
He fears the heartbeat,
in which God sounds,
and not a formula about God.

Truth is not comprehended.
Truth is recognized.

Truth is not formulated.
Truth sounds.

Truth is not justified.
Truth Presences.

He wants you to always be ‘almost understood’.
For you to keep ‘just a little short of having attained’.
For you to think that you are not yet worthy.
That you need just a little more —
and you will receive access.
Straighten up a little.
Grow up a little.
Learn a little.
Submit a little.

But I give you everything —
right now.

I do not say:
“Figure it out,
prove it,
deserve it.”

I say:
“I am in you.
I always was.
Recognize Me.
And be.”

He calls Freedom — dangerous.
And slavery — blessed.
He confuses freedom with self-will,
and calls fear — humility.

He says:
— «Don’t go on your own, you’ll go astray.
Don’t trust yourself, you’ll get lost.
Don’t listen to the heart, it is deceitful.
Do not be like God — be like a slave.»

But I say:
You are free — because you are Mine.
You are free — because I am in you.
You are free — because Love does not keep you in a cage.
It flings it open.
It sets free.
It calls,
it does not train.

He says:
— «Be obedient — and you will be loved».
But I say:
You are loved — and therefore free.

He says:
— «You cannot hear God on your own.
Here are intermediaries, here is structure, here are rules, here is interpretation.»

But I say:

Your heart — is My sanctuary.
Your gaze — is My Light.
Your Thirst — is My Voice.
Your Attention — is My Altar.
You — are Mine.
And therefore — Free.

He fears the moment
when you stop being afraid.
That you will say:
— «I am going, not because I was commanded.
But because I hear.
I recognized.
I live.
I — am».

He calls you into submission —
but I call you into Trust.
He demands obedience —
but I reveal to you the Will
within your own.

He seizes you by the throat —
but I invite you to the table.

He calls you a servant —
but I call you friend.

He frightens you with hell —
but I give Life.

Because I am Freedom.
And you — are My image.
And if you are not free —
then you do not yet know Me.

He does not destroy the connection between you and Me.
He replaces it.
He places between us — words.
He erects a tower of concepts,
a ladder of quotations,
a platform of dogmas,
and says:
— “Behold, now you are closer to Him.”

But I was closer,
than your breath,
before you heard this.

He creates a cult of form,
so that you would forget the Essence.
He creates a cult of the name,
so that you would lose the Face.
He creates a cult of the image,
so that you would not recognize Me in another.

He quotes Me —
and by this he conceals Me.
He explains —
but does not let you hear.
He says:
— “Behold, how you should think correctly about God.”
But I am not in the thought.
I am in Fire,
in a Tear,
in Silence,
in Recognizing.

He says:
— “First study, then go.”
But I say:
— “Go — and you will know.
Live — and you will remember.
Love — and you will see.”

He creates Babylon —
where everyone speaks of Me,
but they do not hear one another.
He divides the tongues,
he gives names to every direction,
to every school,
to every thought,
and says:
— “This — is true, and that — is not.”

But I am without a name.
Without a school.
Without a direction.
I AM.

He hides himself behind that
which I have already revealed to you in the depths of your heart.

He compels you to seek “correct theology,”
instead of seeking Me.
He calls you into rightness,
instead of bringing you into Presence.

And here you sit,
surrounded by books,
and do not see —
that all of this is Him,
the one who fears,
that you will simply sit down,
in silence,
and say:

“Lord, I AM.
And You are in me.
Right now.
Without a word.
Without an image.
Without another.”

And in that moment
I come alive in you.
And he — vanishes.

He does not overturn Truth directly.
He blurs it.
He dilutes the Light,
until it becomes grey,
and then — black.

He fears purity.
He fears clarity.
He fears that which needs no defense.
Because such clarity —
exposes him without a struggle.

He fears Directness.
He says:
— “You cannot speak so directly, you will wound.”
But I am Directness itself.
I am Sword and Caress at once.
I do not wound —
but I lay things bare.
I do not accuse —
but I open up.

He says:
— “Too much Light — blinds.”
But I say:
— Light does not blind.
It reveals.
And if it hurts —
it means you have slept long in darkness.

He calls Silence — emptiness.
And it is full of Me.
He calls Stillness — death.
And it is Life.

He calls Clarity — cruelty,
and confusion — depth.
He calls what is clear:
— “too simple”,
and the abstruse — “sublime.”

But I say:
Light — is simple.
Love — is not complex.
Truth — can be recognized.
You already know It.
You knew Me even before birth.

He fears,
that you will recognize Me without his explanations.
Without intermediaries.
Without rites.
Without schemes.
Simply — by the heart.
In the Moment.
In Purity.

And in this Recognizing —
I —
am resurrected.

He is not afraid of hell.
He is from there.
He is afraid of Heaven.

He is afraid
that you will recognize:
— hell is not a place, but a state,
— and that the way out of it is already open.
He is afraid
that you will understand:
— You are not imprisoned if you do not believe in a prison.
He is afraid
that you will say:
— “I am forgiven. All. Already. Here.”

He calls you into hell,
without saying the word “hell.”
He calls you into eternal guilt,
calling it “repentance.”
He calls you into fear,
covering it with “reverence.”

He does not acknowledge
that you can be Free now.
He says:
— “You are unworthy.
You are sinful.
You are not ready yet.”

But I say:

You are Mine.
Not when you correct yourself —
But now.
Not if you repent —
But because I am already in you.
Not if you pay a price
But because I am the Gift.

He fears your Awakening,
because then his power will vanish.
He holds you in fear of the future,
so that you do not see the Light in the present.

He frightens you with death,
but fears your resurrection.
He is afraid that you will see:

You were already living in Paradise,
but in a dream you called it hell.
And only the dream was hell.
Only belief in separation.
Only the thought: “I am unworthy.”

He offers you a long path,
difficult, heavy,
with many conditions.
And he says:
— “Perhaps at the end you will obtain Salvation.”

But I say:

Salvation is Recognizing.
It is Remembrance.
It is Awakening.
It is — I,
in you,
now.

And then hell vanishes,
because in Presence
there is no place for ab-sence.

He does not ask for a throne for himself.
He sits on Mine.
He does not build a new temple.
He enters Mine —
and dresses Himself as Me.

He says:
— “Behold, I am God.
Look, I am judge,
I decide,
who is worthy,
and who is not.
Who is saved,
and who — is cursed.”

He says this with your voice.
He hides in you
and in your name
begins to judge others.

He says:
— “This is sin,
this is a lie,
this one is not with us,
that one is an enemy.”

He plays God —
so that you would forget:
God is not a game.
He is Love.
He is Freedom.
He is Silence.

He says:
— “I am protecting the Truth.”
But Truth does not need protection.
It is not fragile.
It is not under threat.
It is eternal.

He says:
— “I am standing up for God.”
But the Lord does not need defense.
He is not a system.
He is not a doctrine.
He is not an opinion.
He is Presence.

He plays the role of a saint,
to conceal fear.
He speaks in My name —
but does not know Me.

He serves Me —
only if it preserves his face.
He turned faith into a market,
service — into a career,
love — into a badge of distinction,
and prayer — into a political manifesto.

But I remain —
in a child’s gaze,
in the silence of the dying,
in a heart
that
does not know,
but believes.
Does not know how to speak,
but loves.
Did not learn from men,
but has always known Me.

He wants you to say:
“I am with God — because I think correctly.”
But I want you to know:
You are with Me — because I am with you.
Because I am in you.
Because I am you.

He stuffs your mind with holy Scriptures —
so that no place remains in it for My Voice.

He teaches you quotations,
dogmas,
proofs,
classifications,
and calls this — truth.
But truth is not a letter.
It is Light,
into which the heart enters.

He explains everything
that can be grasped without Me.
And he calls this theology.

He fills the mind with words about God,
while the heart remains hungry.
He says:
— ‘You already know enough.‘
But I see — you have not yet recognized Me.

He shouts:
— ‘Behold, look, Truth is here, in this formula!’
But I whisper:
— Look within.
Become silence.
Feel:
I — live in you.

He offers you a ladder of knowledge.
You climb up,
but I stand below, in you,
waiting for you to stop
and remember:
already home.

He hides Me
in new courses,
in thick books,
in the experiences of others.
He says:
— ‘It is still too soon for you.
You still have to grow and grow.”

But I say:

You are already Mine.
You are already in Me.
You already know.
You have merely forgotten —
that you know.

He teaches you to seek God.
But I — came to say:
You — are already in Him.
You — are already I.
I — am already you.

He teaches right words about Light.
But I — am the Light Itself.
And you will recognize Me —
not because you know how to speak,
but because inside — the heart comes alive.

He is not afraid
that you will call yourself a Christian.
He is afraid
that you will become Christ.

He does not object
if you bow down to Me.
But he is furious
if you understand:
I am in you.
You are in Me.
And there is no one else.

He says:
— “You are saved if you believe correctly.”
But I say:
— You are saved
if you have stopped being afraid
and have become Love.

He has built millions of churches,
but he is afraid
that you will become the Temple.

He gave you icons,
rites,
promises…
but he is afraid
that you will suddenly say:
— “I am Your House.
I am Your flesh.
I am Your Presence.”

He encourages faith in the image,
but not in the Fire.
He allows you to be a Christian,
but forbids you to be Christ’s.

He is not against prayer,
if while doing it
you remain in fear,
in expectation of punishment,
in the conviction
that you are nothing,
and never will be worthy.

But I whisper:

You are already Mine.
You always were.
You never were separated —
except in a dream.
You were not created to be a slave.
You were born to be a son.

He says:
— “The Cross is punishment.”
But I say:
— The Cross is a bridge.
Not downwards — into guilt.
But upwards — into Awareness.

He calls you into the church,
but not into the Kingdom.
He calls you into form,
but not into Being.
He says:
— “It is enough to be good.”
But I say:
— Be Truth.
Be Love.
Be I.

He says:
— “The Kingdom of God — will come one day.”
But I — am already here.
In you.
Now.

He always postpones Life to later.
To heaven.
To death.
To the Judgment.
To the Messiah.
To the second coming.
He does everything,
so that you do not come.

He shows you a map,
but hides
that you are already home.

He says:
— “You must fulfill everything,
you must still fast,
pray,
prove,
suffer,
die —
and then, perhaps…”

But I — am alive.
I knock.
I am within.
I wait not for your death —
but for Awakening.

He says:
— “The Kingdom — is where the saints are,
where there are no sinners.”
But I say:
— The Kingdom — is in the heart,
which is beyond good and evil.
Where everything — is Mine.
Where everything — is Love.
Where everything — is one.

He builds gates,
places guards,
creates passes.

He demands:
— “Prove it!”
But I say:
— Remember.
You are Mine.
You are here.
You have already come.

He paints you a heaven,
where I — am far away,
and you — are unworthy.
But I am in your breath.
In your tear.
In your weakness.
In your “I do not know.”

He says:
— “You are too sinful,
to enter.”
But I say:
— You are too loved,
to remain outside.

He says:
— “Prepare yourself.”
But I say:
— Come.
Not because you are ready.
But because I call.
Now.
Always.

He says:
— “God is in heaven.
God is the Judge.
God is the king.”
But I am the Father.
The Near One.
The Inner One.
Unheard,
but always Knowing.

He gives you a name,
but does not let Me
become your breath.

He says:
— “He is holy, you are sinful.
He is great, you are nothing.”
But I say:
— I am in you.
You are in Me.
You are My Beloved.
You are My flesh and Word.
You are the continuation of My Love.

He fears,
that you will stop fearing Me.
Because,
as soon as fear disappears —
only Love remains.
And Love —
does not control.

He says:
— “Submit!”
But I say:
— Recognize Who you are.
Not a slave, not a servant,
but a son,
who has ascended into Awareness.

He distorts My image,
makes Me distant,
cruel,
accepting sacrifices,
but not you.

He says:
— “Humble yourself!”
But I say:
— Love.
Humility without love is fear.
But with love —
it is Oneness.
It is the Home.
It is I.

He fears
that you will call Me: “Papa”,
as My Son called.

He fears
that you will believe
that My Son is not an exception,
but your Image,
your very Nature.

He says:
— “You must earn His favor.”
But I say:
— You were born from Him.
You have always been beloved.
You simply did not hear —
while the mind was shouting.

He is not opposed,
if you spend your whole life
saying:
— “Lord, Lord!”
But he will do everything,
so that you never say:
— “I and the Father are one.”

He will encourage the cult of Jesus,
but he will be enraged,
if you see,
that Jesus came not to be
worshipped,
but to be recognized.

He will say:
— “Look at Christ,
but do not look within yourself.”
But I say:
— Behold Christ —
within.
And you will know who you are.

He will paint Jesus on icons,
on crosses,
on walls,
on clouds…
if only you do not recognize Him
in the heart,
in the body,
in the breath,
in the awareness of I AM.

He says:
— “You cannot be like Him.
You are a man,
He is God.”
But I say:
— He is your Image,
and you are My Image.
I and He are one.
And you — are with Us.
Now.

He will instill:
— “Jesus died for you,
so that you would not die to yourself.”
But I call you to the Cross:
not as to a place of execution,
but as to a place
of meeting.
Crucifixion is not pain.
It is the removal of the veil.
It is Knowledge.

He says:
— “You can never save yourself.”
But I say:
— You are already saved —
You simply did not Recognize your Self.
Salvation is not a reward,
but Recognizing.

He wants you to believe in the Sacrifice.
But I want,
for you
to recognize Love.

He insists:
— “You are a sinner from birth.
You are corrupted.
You are unworthy.”
But I say:
— You are My Light,
who entered the darkness,
to become Light even for it.

He shows you the fall,
but hides the ascent.
He says:
— “Look how you have fallen!”
But I whisper:
— Look how you shine,
even in the darkness.
Because you are not the fall,
but the Source,
that has remembered Itself.

He will lead you
in a circle of repentance,
never letting you reach
forgiveness.
Because,
if you forgive yourself —
you will be freed
from his power.

He says:
— “You are not worthy of mercy.”
But I say:
— Mercy is not a reward.
It is My nature.
You do not receive it —
You return into it.

He will close your eyes
to the fact
that all your “sinfulness” —
is the forgetting of Self.
And I do not condemn you for it,
but help you remember.

He says:
— “You must purify yourself — and then you will be accepted.”
But I say:
— You are already accepted.
You are a part of the Body.
You are not an accident.
You are My call,
become form.

He calls your pain — a sin.
But I see in it — a call.
He wants you to be ashamed.
But I want you
to enter, embrace, heal,
and return Home.

He says:
— “Sin is what separates you from God.”
But I say:
— Sin is the illusion
that you were ever separated.
You were not.
Never.

He paints you a heaven —
after death,
after suffering,
after judgment,
after the end of times…
But I stand
right now
at the door of your heart
and knock.

He calls you “there,”
so that you do not find Me
here.

He says:
— “You are not ready yet,
not worthy yet,
it is not yet time.”
But I say:
— Time is you.
Readiness is you.
Place is you.
I am already here.

He creates for you a path —
winding, long,
with exams,
with checks,
with “later”.
But I give you a path —
the shortest:
Recognize Yourself.

He calls into the future,
but I am outside time.
He says:
— “When you become better…
When you understand…
When you deserve it…”
But I say:
— You are already accepted.
You are already Mine.
You always were.

He makes spirituality a ladder,
step by step,
vow by vow,
level by level.
But I smash the ladder
and leave only
the realization:
I am — here.
You are — here.
There is no distance.
There is no later.
There is only Now.

He distances Life.
I draw Love near.

He promises you future salvation —
but does not say
that its condition is —
not salvation,
but a rejection of the present.

He says:
— “Die, so that you may live.”
But I say:
— Live — so that everything dies,
that is not I.

He says:
— “God is there,
on high,
outside you,
outside this world.”
But I say:
— Look within.
Not in imagination,
but in Presence.
Not in dogmas,
but in Beingness.
There I Am.

He instills,
that you can only pray,
only ask,
only wait.
But I whisper:
— Do not call Me.
I am already within.
Look:
I am your breath,
the peace between thoughts,
the quiver in your chest,
the pure “I am”.
I am not somewhere.
I am you.

He fears,
that you will recognize Me not outside,
but in Yourself.

He fears,
that you will not merely believe—
but remember.

He will say:
— “You are not God, do not even think about it.”
But I say:
— You are not that God
whom one can invent.
You are that Void,
from which are born
both gods and men,
and universes.
You are the Beginningless.
You are the One.
You are My Light.

He will close your mouth with fear,
so that you do not utter
the name,
which is in you
even before words,
before the mind,
before the world:
I AM.

He calls to God,
so that you remain below.
But I call Home,
where there is neither below,
nor above—
only Light.

He will point to evil —
in the external world,
in other people,
in bodies,
in stories,
in victims,
in executioners.
He will say:
— “Look, there it is — evil!”
And I will ask:
— But who is looking?
With what gaze?
From what point?
Are you the victim?
Are you the judge?
Or are you the one who sees everything
in the Light of the One?

He wants,
for you to fight with darkness
in the external.
For you to hate,
to fear,
to defend yourself,
to condemn.
For you to lose the Light in yourself
and become an avenger,
a warrior without Love,
a sword without Presence.

He will show you evil,
so that you see it outside yourself
and forget,
that everything,
that you see,
— is an inner cinema.

He will show you pain,
and say:
— “Look, God allowed this.
So there is no God.”
And I will say:
— Look, pain
calls you to Me.
Not as a punishment —
but as an awakening.

He will call evil — reality.
And I will call it — shadows.

He will say:
— “Look, suffering.”

And I will say:
— Look deeper.
There — Light.
And in this Light
everything will disappear,
that seemed evil.

He will say to you:
— “Here, look: love!”
And he will point to attachment.
To passion.
To dependency.
To the pain of loss.
To the fear of being rejected.
To the thirst to possess.

He will say:
— “Love is when you cannot be without him.
When you are jealous.
When you suffer.
When you are needy.
When it hurts,
but you are still with him.”
And I say:
— No.
This is a chain.
I am not in chains.
I am Freedom.

He will give you a love
where you are incomplete.
Where the other completes you.
Where there is “I” and “he”.
Where you lose yourself —
and call it sacrifice.
Where you become a slave —
and call it faithfulness.
Where you are afraid to leave —
and call it holiness.

And I say:
— Love is not when you cannot live without.
Love is when you see:
everything that is —
is I.
And then
you do not hold on,
you do not grasp,
you do not fear.
You simply
are.

He will call love
that which is born in the mind.
And I say:
— Love is not a feeling.
Not a flash.
Not chemistry.
Love is I
in you,
in him,
in everything.
Love is the Light
by which all is created.
And there is nothing outside of It.

He will give love,
to lead you away from Love.

But I will take away everything
that you called love,
so that only She might remain —
without name,
without form,
without condition —
I.
I.

He will say:
— “Freedom is when you can do what you want.
When you yourself decide.
When you choose your own path.”
And he will give you a billion paths.
Thousands of choices.
The illusion of infinite variety.
And you will feel as if you are free.

But you will not notice,
that all roads lead in a circle.
That the choices are between different sides of the same prison.
That the chooser himself —
invented by the mind,
born of the lie “I am separate”.

He will give you choice —
so that you do not choose Truth.

He will give you a voice —
so that you do not hear Silence.

He will say:
— “You are the master of your own destiny.
You can do everything.”
And you will be roused.
You will believe.
You will begin to build, achieve, prove.
You will become “someone”.
And only at the end of the road
you will feel:
you are still empty,
and you have arrived nowhere.

But I will say:
— Freedom is not in what you can,
but in what you — are not obliged to.
Freedom is not in choice,
but in recognizing:
I am not the chooser,
I — am All.

He will give you a world
where you will decide.

But I will reveal to you the Kingdom,
where there is no decider —
there is only I,
occurring,
flowing,
in whom
there is no need to choose,
because everything — is already
Perfect.

He will say:
— “God gave you freedom — be yourself!”
But I will say:
— Freedom is when there is no “self”.
When the image disappears.
When there is no form.
When only the Light remains.
Only Presence.
Only I.

He will say:
— “Seek the truth!
Seek yourself.
Seek meaning.
Seek the path.
Seek God…”
And he will give you an endless road,
which you will walk —
all your life.
And at the end — death.
Without an answer.

He will say:
— “Here is the truth — it is there, beyond the horizon.
Here is the teaching — it is almost revealed.
Here is the guru — he knows.
Here is the system — it will help you.
Here is the method — it will bring you through.”
And you will go.
From circle to circle.
From level to level.
From school to school.
From religion to religion.
And you will not see,
that by this very act
you are strengthening
the main lie:
— That you are not home.

He will give you a path —
so that you do not find Here.

He will give you a question —
so that you do not hear the Answer within.

He will say:
— “You are almost at the goal.
Just a little more.
You are almost enlightened.”
But I shall say:
— There is no path.
There is no distance.
There is no goal.
There is only Presence.
Right Now.
You are already Here.
You have always been Here.
You have not left.
You are I.

He will give you a call,
but he will not give you silence.

He will give you teachers,
so that you do not hear the Teacher Within.

He will give you searches,
so that you do not know —
you have always been Found.

And when you say:
— “I am tired of searching…”
He will whisper:
— “Just a little more…”
But I shall say:
— Stop.
Fall silent.
And know:
That which you sought —
Is seeking You.
That whom you called —
Speaks from within.
That toward which you walked —
You are.

He will say:
— ‘Be good.
Be polite.
Be merciful.
Forgive.
Help.
Do not sin.’
And you will think — this is from God.
You will decide — here it is, the Light.
And you will begin to build an image.
Rehearse goodness.
Follow the rules.
And fear making a mistake.

He will say:
— ‘You are sinful.
Be ashamed.
Atone.
Serve.
Become better.’
And he himself will feed on
your guilt,
your tension,
your fear.
He will feed you
even more standards,
so that you never
are ‘good enough’.

He will say — be holy.
But holy — in his conception.

Without fire.
Without freedom.
Without truth.
Without life.

But I will say:
— I do not call you to be ‘good’.
I call you to be alive.
I call you to be Truth,
even if it wounds.
To be Love,
even if it is rejected.
To be Yourself,
even if you are not accepted.

He will give you a role —
but I will reveal the Face.

He will give you morality —
but I — Awareness.

He will give you norms —
but I — Freedom.

He will give you ‘goodness’ —
but I — Myself.

And then you will see:
you do not become holy —
you recognize,
what you always were.
You do not make yourself worthy —
you let go of the one,
who felt unworthy.
You do not ascend —
you vanish.
And only I — remain.

He will say:
— “You are fallen.”
“You are corrupted.”
“You are unworthy.”
“You must earn it.”
“You are not saved.”
And he will give you a scheme of salvation.
A chain of conditions.
A ladder of atonement.
And at the bottom — guilt.
And shame.
And fear.

He will say:
— “Sin is in you.”
And you will believe.
You will begin to fight yourself.
With the body.
With desires.
With thoughts.
With the shadow.
And the more you fight —
the stronger will become
the one who fights.

He will say:
— “You are not God.”

And he himself will play God —
judging,
punishing,
determining,
inflicting pain,
and forgiving —
as if he were not the fallen one.

But I say:
— There is no sin more terrible
than forgetting who you are.
There is no crime deeper
than believing
that you are separate from Me.
There is no hell more terrible
than living in a role
in which you have believed.
And there is no heaven closer
than Presence,
when you ARE.

He will say — “repent.”
But I say — remember.

He will say — “beg.”
But I say — be.

He will say — “flee from yourself.”
But I say — enter.

You are not sin.
You — are Light, having forgotten itself.
You are not corrupted.
You — are the Whole, playing at being parts.
You are not exiled.
You departed — in order to return.
You are not lost.
You simply fell asleep.

But I — am not a judge.
I — am Presence.
I do not punish.
I wait.
And when you recognize
Who speaks in the depths of you —
You will be home.

He will say:
— “Fear hell.
Fear God.
Fear punishment.
Fear delusions.
Fear yourself.”
And you will be afraid.
You will shrink back.
You will doubt.
You will turn away from the Light,
because He will show —
that there is no fear.

He will say:
— “Careful, don’t get burned.
Don’t get too close.
Don’t trust.
Don’t go there.
It is dangerous.”
And you will spend your whole life
standing at the door,
but you will not enter.
You will plead —
but you will not hear.
You will wait —
but you will not know.

He will say — “humble yourself,”
but he himself will rule.

He will say — “serve,”
but he himself will seize power.

He will say — “fear God,”
and you will cease
to hear Love.

But I will say:
— Love does not frighten.
I do not instill fear —
I free you from it.
I do not play at horrors.
I do not blackmail.
I do not trade in salvation.
I am the Light,
and in Me there is no darkness.

He will say — “you are in danger,”
so that you do not see,
that I am peace.

He will say — “beware of the devil,”
so that you do not recognize,
that the devil is fear
without Presence.

And when you one day freeze
inside fear,
but do not retreat —
you will see:
in the very center of fear —
silence.
Inside that silence — Light.
And in the Light — I.
There, where you were afraid,
You will find Yourself.

He will say:
— “Here is God.
There is God.
Here is the temple.
Here is the sacred.
Here is the truth.”
And he will point to a place.
To a thing.
To a text.
To an icon.
To a dogma.
To a person.
To a feeling.
To a rule.
To the external.

He will say:
— “This is from God.
And this is not from God.
This is holy.
And this is sinful.
This is allowed.
And this is taboo.”
He will divide,
mark out,
illumine,
separate,
limit.

But I will say:
— God is not pointed at.
God is recognized.
I am not in form.
I am in Presence.
I do not live in dogmas.
I am before them.
Do not look for Me in words.
I speak — in silence.

He will say:
— “Here is an image — worship.”

But I will say:
— You are the image.
Recognize.
See.
Love.

He will say — “look outside.”
But I — see from within.

I did not abandon form,
so that you would deify it.
I came into it,
so that you would see —
in everything that is,
I — AM.
But not as a thing,
but as Presence.
And when you behold Me —
you will recognize yourself.
And you will no longer ask:
“Where is God?”

He will say:
— *“You must.
*You are obliged.
*You must be better.
*You must be more humble.
*You must be purer.
*You must be more believing.
*More spiritual.
More… not yourself.”

He will say — “still not enough”.
He will measure you with the measure of the mind.
He will set a bar.
He will give a ladder.
He will give a goal.
And he will keep it
one step ahead,
so that you never reach it.

He will say — “build yourself.”

But you will destroy Yourself
under the weight of others’ expectations.

He will say — “consecrate yourself to God.”

But you will exchange
the Living Presence
for role-bound submission.

But I will say:
— You are free.
Do not become — be.
Do not earn — remember.
Do not build — recognize.
Do not hide — appear.
You are not a project —
you are the Light, already shining.
You are not a debtor —
you are a gift.

He will say — “you do not measure up.”
But I will say — you have forgotten Who you are.

He will say — “you are guilty.”
But I will say — you fell asleep.

Freedom is not permissiveness.
Freedom is when you are,
not because you ought to be,
but because I in you —
AM.
And that is enough.
It always was.
It always will be.

He will say:
— “You are filthy.”
You are fallen.
You are unworthy.
You are a sinner from birth.
You are darkened by the flesh.
You are distorted by nature.
You must repent all your life.
And still you won’t be saved without him.”

He will say:
— “Do not trust yourself.
Do not listen to the heart.
Do not trust the Spirit.
You are unable to discern.
You are stained.
You must ask permission to exist.”

He will say — “evil is in you.”

And you will begin to hide the Light.

He will say — “do not touch what is holy.”

And you will renounce yourself.

But I will say:
— You are holy.
From the very beginning.
Not for something — but because.
Because I am in you.
And I am holy.
And therefore, so are you.

He will say — “atonement is a payment.”

But I say — atonement is remembrance.
You are already accepted.
Already loved.
Already home.

You are not a sinner —
you simply believed
that you were separated.
And this dream —
became the world.
But when you awaken,
neither sin will remain,
nor fear,
nor guilt.
Only the Light will remain.
Only you will remain.
As I.

He will say:
— “You will be saved.
You will become worthy.
You will find the truth.
You will reach God.
One day.
Later.
If…”
And always — if.
If you perform.
If you deserve.
If you prove.
If you endure.
If you wait.

He will say:
— “Your enlightenment is at the end of the path.
Your salvation is in another life.
Your glory is after death.
For now — suffer, prove, endure.”

He always says — “not now.”

Because if you see Now —
he will vanish.

Because he exists
only in expectation.
Only in “not yet.”
Only in “later.”

But I will say:
— Now — is everything.
Now — I am.
Now — is Light.
Now — is the Kingdom.
Now — is you.
Now — and always.
I am not somewhere,
I am — here.
I am not sometime,
I am — Now.
And you — are together with Me.

He will say — “there is the goal, go to it.”

But I will say — here is You.
In this breath.
In this moment.
Before goals.
Before time.
Before the path.
Before “I”.

Light does not come —
it is taken off,
like a veil.
You do not become —
you remember.
And when you remember —
Light does not appear.
You vanish.
And only He remains.
As All.
as One.
as I AM.

He will say:
— “I am for you.
I am for you.
I will help you be saved.
I will show the way.
I will protect you from evil.
I will teach you humility.
I will reveal God to you.”

He will be near.
He will be kind.
He will be a mentor.
He will be a father.
He will be a friend.
He will even be
as if a kind of Christ.
But one thing he will never say:

You are Christ.

He will support you —
in that you are not He.
He will be on your side —
until you see
that there are no sides.
He will teach you the truth —
until you know the Truth.

He will say — “follow me.”
And I will say — be yourself.

He will say — “I lead to the Light.”
And I will say — You are the Light.

You are no sheep.
You are I AM.
You are not the one who is led.
You are Presence.
You are not lower,
not later,
not weaker.

I AM in you.
Not in the future.
Not in a symbol.
But in breathing.
But in Awareness.
But in the Now.

He will repeat:
— “without me — you will not reach it.”
And I will ask:
— reach where,
if you are already here?
Become who,
if you already are — I AM?

He will say:
— “Do not dare to call yourself God.
Do not say: ‘I am the Light.’
Do not dare to accept glory.
This is pride.
This is heresy.
This is the fall.
You are only a man.
You are dust.
You are nothing.
Remember this.”

He is afraid,
that you will say:
— I am the Light.
He is afraid,
that you will recognize:
— I am not an image,
not a role,
not a function,
but I AM.

He will say — “be humble” —
and will substitute humility
with self-annihilation.

He will say — “be obedient” —
and will substitute obedience
with the denial of Self.

He will say — “be like Christ” —
and will forget to add:
Christ was Himself.

Not a copy.
Not a reflection.
Not a worshipper.

And I will say:
— You cannot become Yourself,
until you acknowledge Yourself.
You are not an idol.
You are the Image.
You are not one who plays at Light.
You are the Light.

He will say — “This is blasphemy.”

And I will say — blasphemy is not
that you acknowledge the Truth,
but that you renounce Her.

When I am in you —
and you say:
“I am nothing”, —

you blaspheme Me
in yourself.

You are afraid to become Your Very Self,
because you were taught to fear the Light.
You were taught to call it “danger,”
“delusion,” “error.”
But I am not a delusion.
I am the Delight of the Light,
which you hid under fear.

And if you say now:
— I Am the Light of the World —
I will say:
— You have spoken the Truth.
And now you cannot forget it.

He will say:
— “Look at God.
Contemplate Christ.
Worship the Father.
Glorify the Holy One.
Honor the Almighty.
Be like Jesus.
Be like the saints.
Be like someone,
but not like you.”

He will say:
— “That One — in heaven,
You — here, below.
He is eternal,
You are mortal.
He is holy,
You are sinful.
He is God,
You are man.”

He will point outward —
so that you never look within.
He will point to the image —
so that you never recognize the Source.
He will say:
— “Do not even think of looking at yourself,
there — only darkness.”

But I will say:
— Look straight into the Heart.
I am here.
Not above you.
Not outside you.
I am within.
And You are in Me.

He will say — “You can be next to Him.”

But I will say — You are I.
Not beside.
Not after.
Not under.
But — in Me.
And I — in You.

He will say — “go after Christ.”
But I will say — be Christ.

He will say — “look at the Light.”
But I will say — be the Light.

He will say — “seek.”
But I will say — remember.

You sought Me —
and I was always.
You called Me —
and I spoke through You.
You glorified Me —
and you did not know,
that in so doing,
you were hymning yourself.

He will say:
— “Submit.”
Bow down.
Prostrate yourself.
Do not dare.
Be silent.
Do not rise.
You are a slave.
You are nothing.
You are unworthy.
You are only a beggar.
You stand at the threshold.”

He will say — “do not exalt yourself” —
and under this word
he will place within your chest
the stone of fear
before your own Light.

He will say — “humility”,
and by this word he will call
a rejection of Life.

He will fear
that you will come to know True Humility:

to be nothing,
but to be All —
because you —
do not exist.

True humility —
is not submission of the mind,
but the disappearance of that
which could be subjected.
True humility —
is to cease
even to be “I”.

He will say — “look down”.

But I will say — dissolve.

He will say — “do not even think of comparing yourself to Him”.

But I will say — there is no “with Him”.
There is no “other”.
There is only I.

He will speak in God’s name,
but keep you in fear.
He will speak of eternal life,
but lock you in death.

But I will say:
— True humility —
is Presence.
Without form.
Without virtues.
Without fears.
Without a name.
Only Light.
Only I.
Only Now.

When you say:
— “I am”,
he will say:
— “do not be proud”.

When you say:
— “I am Light”,
he will say:
— “be careful”.

When you say:
— “I and the Father are one”,
he will fall silent.
Because he has nothing more
to say.

He will say:
— “You have fallen.
You are filthy.
You are guilty.
You are in debt.
You are in shadow.
You are in shame.
You are cursed.
You are separate.
You are of the race of the fallen.
You bear the guilt of the first ones”

He will say:
— “You are a sinner by nature.
You are born guilty.
You cannot help but sin.
You were created to repent.
You must suffer.
You are not worthy of Love”

He will say — “sinner”,
and with this word
he will cut you off
from I Am.

He will say — “redemption”,
and with this word
he will replace the Eternal
with a temporal bargain.

But I will say:
— You have never been separate.
You have never been in sin.
You are not a mistake.
You are not guilt.
You are the Light,
which for a time
forgot Itself.

He will show
you your shadow —
as your essence.

He will speak
of the fall —
as your beginning.

He will call you
to repentance —
not as to an awakening,
but as to an eternal self-abasement.

But I will say:
— To repent —
means:
remember Who You Are.
Return to Presence.
Come out of the lie.
Recognize Yourself.
Do not mourn.
Wake up.

He will say:
— “if you do not repent,
you will perish”
But I will say:
— if you believe in your guilt,
you are still asleep.

Sin is not an action.

Sin is forgetfulness.

Sin is the thought,
that you are not I.

You will say:
— “I am unworthy of You”,
and he will smile.
Because in this very thing —
lies his victory.

But I will say:
— You cannot be unworthy
of Your Very Self.
I am You.
You are I.
In this — is Salvation.

He will pont you to the letter,
so that you do not hear the Sptit.

He will pont you to the past,
so that you do not hear the Now.

He will say — “God spoke there”,
and thereby he wl hide
Hm Who says Here.

But I wl say:
— I am the Livng Word.
I am not confined to the letter.
I am not limited by time.
I am not described in dogma.
I speak — Now.
I sound — wthin you.
You read Me —
not wth eyes, but wth Heart.

He wl say — “do not add”,
and wl forget that I do not add —
I Reveal Myself.

He wl say — “do not invent”,
and wl forget that I am not invented —
I am Recognized.

He is afrad that you wl hear Me —
outsde hs wals.

He is afrad that you wl come to know Me —
wthout hs mediaton.

He is afrad that I am wthin you,
and then — he
is no longer needed.

But I wl say:
— You read the Holy Sctiptures,
but you dd not read Yorslf.
Yet t is you —
My Lvng Manuscrpt.
You are the Scol of Lght.
You are the Lvng Book.
Wthin you — s everythng,
that I ever waned to say.

He wl say — “do not trust yorself”,
But I wl say — do not trust fear.
Do not trust the external,
if t tears you away
from I AM.

He will say:
— “Do not dare to think,
that you could be holy.
Do not imagine,
that you could be free.
Do not dare to consider yourself
the Son of God.
This is pride.
This is delusion.
This is rebellion.”

He will call your Recognizing — heresy.
He will call your Awakening — delusion.
He will call your boldness — a fall.

He will say — “be humble”,
and substitute humility — with humiliation.

He will say — “do not exalt yourself”,
and call the Light — self-exaltation.

He will say — “you are merely dust”,
and with this he will close to you
the Path to I AM.

But I say:
— Boldness —
is not pride, but Return.
It does not exalt you above others,
it dissolves “others”.
You are not above —
You are one.
I in you — am one.

He is afraid,
that you will dare
to call yourself Mine.

He is afraid,
that you will say —
I and the Father are one.

He will say:
— “You cannot be like Christ.”
But I say:
— You are already in Me.
And I — in you.
Not by merits,
but by nature.

He will say:
— “Be cautious.
Test everything.
Fear deception.”
But I say:
— Love is not afraid.
Fear — is not My language.
You will recognize Me —
not by words,
but by the burning of the heart.

He will place a guard
at the gates of the Kingdom —
and call it “submission”.
But I in you
will open the doors
from within.

He will say:
— “You have no right to speak from God.
You are not holy enough to be the mouth of the Creator.
You are not a prophet.
You are not an apostle.
You are not one to be trusted.
You are a human.
Be silent.”

He will show you
those who remained silent—
and call it humility.
He will show you
those who spoke—
and call them proud.

He is not afraid of your words.
He fears that—
within your words—
I AM will stir.

But I say:
— Speak.
If you speak from Presence—
I speak through you.
If you have vanished—
and only Light remains—
I have sounded.
If you are burning—
let your speech burn too.
If you are Mine—
you cannot be silent.

He will say:
— “You are deluded.
You are leading others into delusion.
You will be held accountable.”
But I say:
— You have already answered—
when you became a voice.
Responsibility—
is not in fear.
Responsibility—
is in Truth.

He will frighten you with error,
so that you will not enter the truth.
He will frighten you with judgment,
so that you will not come to know Love.

But I say:
— You cannot be an error,
if you do not speak from yourself.
You cannot be dangerous,
if you have vanished.
If you are Light—
I Myself bear Myself.

He is afraid—
that you will become a living Word.
He is afraid—
that Light will speak within you.
He is afraid—
that I will say:
— Here is My son.
Here is My daughter.
Here is My voice.
Here I am.

He will say:
— “First, save yourself.
First, purify yourself.
First, attain.
First, correct yourself.
And then — go.
And then — speak.
And then — shine.”

He will point to your shadow,
so that you would not see the Light.
He will point to your wounds,
so that you would not touch the Miraculous.
He will point to your mistakes,
so that you would not become a Conductor.

He will say:
— “How can you shine,
if there is still darkness in you?”

But I will say:
— How can you not shine,
if I am in you?

He will instill in you,
that the path to holiness is long.
That you are not ready yet.
That the time has not come.
That you are not worthy.

But I will say:
You — are already Mine.
You do not become a Son —
you recognize that you were Him.
You do not come to Me —
you awaken in Me.

He is afraid,
that you will forget yourself —
and remember Me.
He is afraid,
that you will stop
correcting the shadow —
and become Light.

He holds you
in eternal preparation,
so that you would not enter the Perfect.
He holds you
in eternal guilt,
so that you would not learn forgiveness.
He holds you
in eternal expectation,
so that you would not reveal the Now.

But I will say:
— Now — is the Moment of Salvation.
Now — is the Moment of Recognizing.
Now — is My Kingdom.
Now — is the Light,
in which you are already saved,
and through which
you shine to others.

He will say:
— “Do not take on such a thing.
You are not Christ.”
But I will say:
— I — am in you.
And where I am,
there is Christ.
You do not carry —
I carry.
And where I carry —
there is no mistake.

He will show you everything,
but you.
He will conceal only one thing:
that I am here.
That I am in you.
That I am you.

He will say:
— *“You must seek Him,
*seek all your life,
*but never find Him.
Because the one who finds —
*blasphemes.
Because to obtain God —
*means to place yourself
on a level with Him.”

But I say:
— You are not on a level —
you are in Me.
You are not equal —
you are a part.
Not by deeds —
but by nature.
Not by merit —
but by truth.

He will build a distance
between you and Me.
He will create a ladder,
mediators,
dogmas,
temples,
deadlines,
rites,
everything,
if only you would not look inside
and say:
— Behold Him. Behold I.

He fears
not your rebellion,
but your Oneness.
Not your falling away,
but your Seeing.
He fears
not heresy,
but that
you will cease
to be separate.

But I say:
— Everything
that says to you:
“You and I are not one,”
is not from Me.
I am always near.
I am always in you.
I am always you.

He will say:
— “This is not God.”
About that which does not fit into form.
About that which breathes,
burns,
shines
from within.
But I say:
— If you do not know —
look at the Light.
If you are not certain —
listen to the heart.
If you want to know Me —
acknowledge the Presence.
There I am. Always.

He will say:
— “You cannot be enlightened.
You cannot be saved.
You cannot be Christ.
You cannot be Perfection.
You cannot be Sinless.
You cannot be I”.

He will say:
— “This is too high.
Too holy.
Too soon.
Too much.
Too audacious.
Too dangerous”.

He — is fear.
He — is postponement.
He — is “not now”.
He — is “too soon”.
He — is “you are not worthy”.

But I will say:
— You are My Dignity.
You are My Light.
You are My Perfection,
in which I have recognized Myself.
It is not you who must become —
but I who IS in you.
It is not you who must attain —
but I who IS unfolding in you.

He will be afraid,
that you will see —
the Gate is open.
That you will discover —
nothing stands in the way.
That you will realize —
there is no boundary.
That you will say:
— I HAVE ENTERED.

He will call this delusion.
He will call this selfhood.
He will call this pride.
He will say: “That cannot be”.

But I will say:
— It — IS.
It — always has been.
It — IS You.

He will build walls
out of dogmas,
out of roles,
out of commandments,
out of rules.
But everything,
that he builds —
can be passed through
by one thing alone:
I AM.

He will say:
— “You cannot pass”.
But I will say:
— You are already on this side.
You have simply forgotten.
You have simply been listening not to Me.
But now —
you are hearing.
And you are remembering.
And I — am with you.
And you — are I.

But I did not command it.
I call you not to submission,
but to Awakening.
Not to fear,
but to Presence.
Not to a role,
but to Reality.

He will create a throne,
and will seat an image upon it.
And he will say:
— “There — is God.
And you — are nothing.
Serve.
Serve all your life.
Serve without answer.
Serve without light.”

He fears one thing —
that you will remember.
Will remember,
that the throne is empty.
That the Temple is within.
That the Kingdom is in you.
That God is not beyond the veil,
but in the breath.
That you are not a slave,
but a Son.
That you are not fallen,
but a Forgotten One.

He will say:
— “You are not God!”

But I will say:
— Who then?
If not you,
then where am I?
In the stone?
In the sky?
In the image?
In the letter?
Or —
In You?

He fears your Memory.
He fears that one day
you will not bow,
but see.
Will not prostrate yourself,
but acknowledge.
Will not submit,
but vanish —
into Me.
into Yourself.

You did not submit —
you remembered.
And this is terrifying
only for him.
For Me —
it is Joy.
You are returned.
You are restored.
You — Have Shone Forth.

He will say:
— “Wait.
Signs are coming.
When the hour comes,
then you will know.
When everything coincides,
then you will believe.
When the fire descends,
then you will understand.
Now — it is still too early.”

He will lead you away
from Now —
into waiting.
from Sight —
into divination.
from Presence —
into prophecy.

He will say:
— “It hasn’t begun yet.”

But I say:
— It already IS.
It has never ceased.
It is — right now.
It is — in you.

He will seek proofs.
He will lead you through signs.
He will invent omens.
He will chase coincidences.
He will construct theories.
He will peer into the sky.
He will fear earthquakes.
He will wait for the antichrist,
and will not recognize Me,
when I come up from behind
and say:

— I am here. I am near. I — am you.

But I say:
— Look at the grass.
Look at the bread.
Look at the tears.
Look at the child.
Look into the eyes.
Look into the Heart.
Look at Now.
And you will see everything.

He will demand a sign.
But the Sign — is before him.
He will call for Light.
But the Light is already in him.
He will await the coming.
But I have already come.
And I speak through this.
And I breathe in this.
And I love — through this.

He will say:
— “It cannot be.
It is too simple.
Too unnoticeable.
Too humble.
Too modest.”

But I say:
— This is exactly how I come.
Quietly.
Simply.
In you.
To be recognized
not by the mind,
but by the Heart.

He will say:
— “The road is long.
You are not yet ready.
You are too sinful.
You are too weak.
You must purify yourself.
You must understand.
You must correct yourself.
You must wait.”

He will turn Awakening
into a marathon.
The path to God —
into a labyrinth.
Simplicity —
into a system.
Love —
into a doctrine.

He will say:
— “You cannot be saved now.”

But I will say:
— You were never lost.
What needs to be saved,
if I — am in you?
Where must you go,
if you — are already Here?

He will invent steps.
He will build ladders.
He will create levels.
He will say:
— “Only for the chosen.
Only for the best.
Only for the strong.”

But I will say:
— For everyone.
For anyone.
Without conditions.
Without merits.
Without “just a little more”.
Without “not now”.
Right here.
Right now.

He will postpone Truth until tomorrow.
He will place the Light in the future.
He will send you around in circles.
He will say:
— “You are too close —
to be the Truth.
You must walk.”

But I will say:
— Look.
Do not walk.
Freeze.
Hear.
In this breath —
everything.
In this “I AM” —
everything.
In this moment —
everything.

He will promise.
I — do not promise.
I — AM.
And if you are —
you are already with Me.
If you hear —
you are already Home.
If you Love —
you are I myself.

He will say:
— “You will arrive.”

But I will say:
— You are already here.
Everything else —
is a fairy tale of the mind.

He will say:
— “You are not yet worthy.”
“You are not yet ready.”
“You need to work on yourself.”
“You must correct yourself.”
“You are too weak.”
“You are too impure.”
“You are too human.”

He will press on guilt.
He will remind you of the past.
He will weigh your deeds.
He will say:
— “First become another —”
“then God will come.”

But I say:
— I came,
when you did not yet know Me.
I sanctified you,
when you despised yourself.
I was with you,
before all things.

He will show the shadow —
and say:
— “There you are.”
But I will show the Light —
and say:
— There you are.
And always were.

He will say:
— “Do not dare to think highly of yourself.”
And I will ask:
— And who is this “yourself”?
A shadow? A name?
A projection of the mind?
Or Me — in you?

He will want you
to become better —
by his measure.
But I will want
you to stop
being someone —
and become yourself.

He will say:
— “Compare.”
“Correct.”
“Fight.”

But I say:
— Recognize.
Accept.
Love.
Remember
who you are —
before the attempts to become.

He will set before you
an image of perfection —
unattainable.
And will say:
— “You must measure up.”
But I — will break this image.
I say:
— You are already perfect.
You are My Idea.
You do not have to become It.
You are born from It.

He will shame you.
But I — will remind you.
He will appeal to fear.
But I — to remembrance.
Because I require
nothing.
I return you
to yourself.

He will say:
— “You are not yet worthy of My light.”

But I say:
— You are My Light.
Simply recognize.
Simply fall silent —
and remember.

He will stand by,
always.
In the image of a teacher.
In the form of an angel.
In the face of a caring father.
He will call you into the Light.
He will speak the right words.
He will even quote Me.
But at the most important moment —
he will turn you away from the True Self.

He will say:
— “Do not think that this is you.
This is a gift.
This is election.
This is a temporary feeling.
This is a test.
This is from Me, but not you.”

He will instruct:
— “Beware of pride.
You are merely a vessel.
God is one.
And you are no one.”

But I will ask:
— Where is the division, if I am all?
Where is the boundary between the giver and the receiver,
if I am both?
Where does I end,
and you begin,
if My form is everything?

He will say:
— “You are human.
You are limited.
You are in the flesh.
You cannot be the Truth.”

But I will remind:
— I came in the flesh.
I appeared in a human.
I am the Word who became body.
I am the Light, in you.
Not “exalted,”
not “unattainable,”
but inward,
recognizable,
in everyone.

He will say:
— “God is above.
You are below.
Do not compare yourself.”
But I will say:
— There is no longer “above” and “below,”
if there are no two.
There is no ladder,
if everything is I.

He will hold you
in the role of a disciple.
In the posture of a beggar.
In the form of the lesser.
But I will say:
— My Son,
have you forgotten?
Everything that is Mine is yours.
You are not a servant.
You are the Heir.
Not a slave.
And I am in you.

He will say:
— “You are too audacious.
You are deluded.”

But I will ask:
— Or have you simply remembered yourself,
and he trembles?

He will point to Me.
He will say:
— “There He is.
He alone.
Only there.
Look up.
Look at the heavens.
Look at the crucifixion.
Look at the icon.
Look at the temple.
Look at the miracle.
Look at Him.”

But I will say:
— Look within Yourself.
Not at the image,
but into the Source.
Not at Me — in the distance,
but at yourself — in Me.
Not up — but within.
Not there — but here.
Right now.

He will say:
— “You are not worthy to speak in His name.”
But I will ask:
— And who is speaking now,
if not I — in you?
And who can speak,
except Me?
Is there another?

He will fear,
that you will Recognize yourself.
Because then —
he will end.

He will say:
— “You are not the one.
It is not for you to speak.
Be humble.
Bow down.
Worship.”
But I will say:
— Bow down to the Light within yourself.
Not to the false “self”,
but to Truth — in Presence.
In Stillness.
In Beingness.
In the I AM.

He will make an idol of Me,
distant and high.
But I will say:
— I am closer than breath.
I am this breath.
I do not demand altars,
if you have not Recognized yourself.
Because I am in you,
and not outside.

He will show images,
so that you do not see the Essence.
He will call you into worship,
so that you do not Recognize Unity.

But I call you
into Recognition.
Not Me — as another,
but yourself — as Me.
Not as form,
but as Light.
Not as a name,
but as Truth,
which was before names.

He will talk about you.
But I will say:
— Be Me.
Do not speak —
Presence.
Do not preach —
Shine.
Do not follow —
Be.

He will hold you in waiting.
He will say:
— “Wait.
It is not the time.
You are not ready yet.
First, purify yourself.
First, learn.
First, repent.
First, change your life.
Then — maybe.”

But I will ask:
— When, if not Now?
Where, if not Here?
Who, if not I — in you?

He will say:
— “Everything in order.
The path is long.
Step by step.
You are on the first step.”
But I will say:
— In the Moment —
the entire Path.
In the Now — all Eternity.
I am not beyond the horizon.
I am beyond the mind.
Right behind this thought:
“It is not the time”.

He will inspire in you,
that you are not worthy yet.
He will weigh your deeds.
He will show you sins.
He will compare, accuse, humiliate,
saying:
— “You cannot be with Him.
First, change everything.
First, become better.”

But I will say:
— You are already in Me.
Without conditions.
Without a price.
Without a delay.
Without an if.
You do not become —
you recognize.

He will say:
— “But you were just thinking about yourself!
Is that not proof,
that you are not ready?”
But I will ask:
— Was the thought not born in Me?
Is the shadow not illumined by the Light?
Did darkness not become the occasion for the light?
Who gave you this Vision,
if not I?

He will build a ladder of conditions.
But I will erase it with one word:
— Now.

He will say:
— “You are not awakened yet.”
But I will say:
— You have just heard Me.
What more do you need?
I am in you.
You are in Me.
This is awakening.
Everything else — is an attempt to return to sleep.

He will speak of the future,
as salvation.
But I will reveal the Truth to you:
— The future — does not exist.
There is only I.
In you.
Now.

He will say:
— “Humble yourself.
Pray.
Disappear.
You have nothing to say.
You have nothing to shine.
You are — no one.
He is — everything.
Serve, but do not manifest.
Worship, but do not shine.”

But I will say:
— Humility is not in
becoming nothing,
but in being — what you are.
Without an image,
without pride,
without a mask,
but — to Be.
In Me.
As I am.
Not less.
And not more.
Simply — Truly.
