In order to discover the Truth about One's soul and spirit, One must
start/proceed from the present moment. One needs to go backward toward the
future, and forward to reach the past. "One must follow the Light that God
gives from inside of His location the in the Human Heart." "For, if we cannot
find Him there we cannot find Him anywhere." "The Self know itself, when it
is in ItSelf." "And, when It is in Itself, then It knows Itself." As regards
the Truth we are looking for: to find It we must first find its place inside
of God. Two steps of meditation/prayer denial/prayer affirmation that
represents our location inside of God's name are" 1) "I am not, but I know
that I AM." And, therefore 2) "Wherever I AM, that's where I am supporsed to
be." Andrew

The following meditation on how faith develops and grows in our souls and our
selves while they live eternally inside of God's name can be added to the
ones above:

round 3 of meditations on how to discover ourselves (our souls and spirits)
dwelling inside of God's name*:

Meditation on our self's faith in itself established inside of God's name: "I
am not, but I know I
AM." "I believe (know that I AM become the substance of what I have hoped
for) I AM who I AM."

* the interval between these three sets of New Age Christian Science denials
and affirmations about ourselves can be a day or two...a year or two...or
even longer.

It is also an interesting meditation on how these three series of meditation
steps correspond to the stand Methodist theologies's 10 doctrines of
prevenient grace and four steps in the soul's salvation during a lifetime:

Confession of sinful human nature

Realization of God's unconditional love

belief in Jesus Christ's accomplishments

belief in the Holy Spirit's (God dwelling in us)
mission to make us aware of our need to repent
further of our missing the mark of understanding
how God dwells in us and enlighten us on a path forward


1) justification

2) regeneration in the new life

3) adoption (as a child of God)

witness of the Spirit

assurance of salvation

4) final eternal salvation of the soul and spirt
before the judgement throne of God

Subject: knowing ourself in God
Author: Andrew W. Harrell

It is not possible to prove that God exists. However, it is possible to
reason about his nature. And, this has some value in itself. We could not
make the first statement in this paragraph if this wasn't so. And, it is
possible to find hints and clues about his existence by such logical
reasoning with respect to our own individual experiences. The wondelful thing
is that sometimes, if we listen and observe things carefully, what we know
from these small hints and clues about his existence can be much more
valuable to us. It is more valuable than a lot of other knowledge we have
about the World or ourselves. Although it is important to have knowledge
about ourselves and the World, often the small hints and clues we learn by
participating in discusions[about/with]...prayer [to] God can be much more
precious to us that what we can learn by participating in
discussions...prayer [about/with/to ourselves only].

Apostles: here are your meditations that go with the above teachings:
1) Petros...you are number one faith...the light of the One increasing...
God's Light of creation coming into our World/Worlds.
2) Andros..you are the light of the one without a second. God's all
pervading, expanding Divine Light moving both inward and outward.
3) Johannanan..You are God's Divine Light that transforms us and supports us
as His truth develops in and through us.
4) Mik..hael..You are God's Divine Light that judges/discriminates between
the human and the divine in us. As we are still and know that I AM God, this
is the meditative source of all our powers.
