The Genuine Authority        By Sandy Jones

Many are beginning to understand that the Messiah, the Savior is never 'out there', is not someone or something external and never will be ---Jesus spoke of this in all his teachings.

The Messiah is within each and everyone of us; one to one, face to face, direct and personal---Here is the Real Authority within and as This Infinite Awareness-Self-I-Am.

I see that the answer to my fears is not found through human organizations, governments, and ideologies--- but through my own Divine Selfhood understood. I turn from the darkness of 'unbelief' that governments perpetuate---to find my very own inner Light of Truth/The God Self within My Self.

The Real Authority is Here and Now Who I Am.

My friend and Enlightened teacher William Samuel calls this Real Identity "The Child".

The Joy of finding This Inner Light and Living the Truth as best we can---The Joy of Life rings clear in My Heart.

The Joy of knowing that despite the scene 'out there' Awareness, Reality, Truth, Eternal Identity cannot ever be taken from Me, ever usurped or controlled by others---I know this and I will stay with It.

I Am the Ungovernable Child of God. This is our Real Identity.

William Samuel says it very beautifully and clearly:

"Only the Truth is true. Only the Real is real. Whatever the evidence of poverty, unemployment and fear, there is no reality to it. To the real of us, to the Truth of us, to the Child of us, Deific Allness-God-is still at the helm. In Truth our welfare does not lie in the hands of government and its people but lives securely, prosperously, harmoniously and fearlessly in the Truth of Being, in the Light of Life. The Lights of the world have told us this for generations and every student of Truth must admit it is true".

And My Heart Hears those Honest Words---Knows It is True--and as I am lifted Up--My world is lifted up.

We do not take the path assigned by 'others' we take our own way and stand in the Light of God, in The Meadow, Already Free.

Read these pages written by William Samuel and titled
"Human Government"   At the William Samuel website.

This piece he wrote is from his astoundingly wise, honest, visionary book "The Child Within Us Lives! A Synthesis of Science, Religion, And Metaphysics".

This book is written so that we might "turn from our self-limiting views, slough off the old sense of ignorance with its cherished notions, and awaken to the Child of Identity and Its birthright".

"We might note that the marvel of the American system is the citizen's right to challenge external authority when it seems wrong to him-and this right is guaranteed to him in writing by his government!"

"---unchallenged government, has led to racism, concentration camps and sycophantic, half-sleeping followers pushed into one holy war after another. Now, another Holy War looms, perhaps the last. Only the Child within us escapes the final oppression of exclusive externalism."

Knowing there is no power in the external false authority, the fog of confusion lifts and I stand in the Light Truth.

This is my Holy War--- That despite the appearances "out there" I will keep My Self in and as The Light of Truth which includes prosperity, abundance, limitless wonders and delights, material and spiritual wealth, eternal love and It includes fearlessness, independence, self-reliance, intelligence, wisdom, joy and action.

I stand knowing that there is no scarcity and no darkness in Truth---I Am Free, completely free already as the very Here and Now that cannot be contained.

Truth has no need of welfare plans or government intervention---I Am free from all that is 'not real' as Reality, Life, Truth stands alone without any organizations to back it up nor ideologies to uphold It---

I will Live as the unbound freedom that is God's, the One Truth Alone. My Beloved Faith is in Life Itself---My knowing that I am One with the Only Presence Here that Is Real, the One Thing that Really Matters; My Eternal Being and All That Is--

This understanding, along with finding This very special Child Messiah within- I Am- This Inner Light that knows how to live in the world, and what to do about it---

This Light, This vision of Truth that the Child holds, this brings me that sacred 'sigh of relief', rest and renewal.

And just as you, I am an Only Child of This Ineffable Unbound Isness of Being---

William wrote a wonderful verse all about this Only Child, the Real Identity and the True Authority; The Story of The Woodcutter and The King-- http://www.williamsamuel.com/booktitles.html

"In the days ahead, when the flowering begins, those who run with the Child will be part of the flower and the seed. As time goes, physical science will soon understand what time and space are actually about. In a very literal sense, we are approaching the end of human ignorance. If the prophets are right-and they have been remarkably right to date-our reach to the limits of light, human understanding, corresponds to a period of tumult in personal and world affairs. Therefore, we have only a short rime remaining to turn from our self-limiting views, slough off the old sense of ignorance with its cherished notions, and awaken to the Child of Identity and Its birthright. But that isn't the end of things either. Humanity is soon to make a spiritual and metaphysical breakout into a new day, a new time and space. Those who find the Child within, and listen to Its Covenant, are to DO what they have been intended to do from the beginning of linear history. Another "dimension" is to be added!

This book "The Child Within Us Lives! A Synthesis of Science, Religion and Metaphysics--by William Samuel--is about that.

The Angels are nudging me to add this, so I will: One of closest reflections "out there" of The Child lived, right now, is not a saint or a Guru, or some erudite philosopher---no--for me I see The Child Alive and Well in Glenn Beck--a delightful example of The Child Lived--- I see The Genuine Child being true to Its Self; It shows in his honesty, his willingness to be wrong, his lack of egotism and pride, his authentic integrity, brilliant mind, devotion to the United States' freedoms and Liberty, his obvious faith in God, his humor, the twinkle in his eye combined with the bravery to speak up and challenge the so called authorities. He may not know exactly what he has found, but I bet he knows "whatever it is" it is a gift from God---and I assume he knows nothing about the subjective-non-dual-metaphysical view of Life---But the marvel of Truth is that he doesn't have to. Thank you, Dear Glenn, for what you are doing.

Those who find the Child will will viewed as a peculiar people, not quite so governable by external authorities and their institutions. We will be taken to task by everyone who hears and fears our Self-discovery. The prophets saw this coming-as did Jesus. "Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsely" (for the Child's sake).
