When you sow to the Spirit, to the Christ, that Consciousness of the Christ becomes your harvest. And this is why famine rides this horse. The mind of man is separated from the mind of the Father. This Spiritual bankruptcy is the famine that rides the black horse, the absence of Light.

And it says there in that same one, and hurt not the oil and the wine. You remember the five wise virgins were oiling their lamps. They were in a state of oneness with Christ within. They were receiving Divine lubrication. The oil always refers to those who are anointed by the Spirit. And the wine is the same. The Wine of Spirit. To show you that the Letter of Truth must become the Living waters; the Spirit of Truth which is called the wine. And so if you are watching within, resting in the knowledge of Christ within, then you are in the wine of Spirit.

That is the fruit of resting within. Anointed by the oil, you receive the wine of Spirit and you are not hurt by lack, by famine, by war, by the things of this world. You are immune to the law of karma. All of that is being revealed in these symbols of the Soul. And the fourth beast, the fourth horse, is this Death itself. He went out to conquer, conquering, and to conquer. What was he going to conquer? Who was he going to conquer? He taught there is only Light. Now what are you going to conquer? What is a do-gooder going to do if there is no evil out there to do good to? God is the Father of every individual on this earth, of every beast of the field.

God is the Father of all that is living. Now the moment we turn around and deny the Fatherhood of God for any individual on this earth, we have stepped off the white horse. And if God is not your Father in my Consciousness, then that judgment which I measure out to you, is meted back unto me. The moment I have found a place where God is not, I am on one of the other three horses and I will experience war, famine, or death. Unto the least of these, my brethren. I must see that God is the Father of All. And why is God the Father of All? Because the only Son of God is the Infinite Christ that walks the earth now.

I perpetuate my own suffering; I condemn me, not you. And as you condemn another, you are condemning yourself, literally.

You are breaking yourself right out of the circle of Christ. And of course, the Lamb, which is the Christ of you, you are again slaying, crucifying as of old as everyone in the world has been doing every day until the moment of realization, that the Father within me is the very Christ of my own being. Now when the purification takes foot, takes a hold within you, you realize why it was necessary to walk in the identity of Spirit, in the acceptance that perfection is Omnipresent, that love is Omnipresent, that beauty and harmony are Omnipresent, that Grace is Omnipresent, because only now do you realize that you are receiving and accepting the impartations from those who have gone before you into a higher state of Consciousness.

Only now do you begin to be aware that a force has been exerted to synchronize the Invisible kingdom with the visible. The overflowing of that Invisible kingdom on earth into your Consciousness is the receiving of the Word of the angels; of those souls that have departed into a higher state of Consciousness whom John now describes as ever working to lift us into their kingdom on earth. And this is the beginning of the fifth seal then. Dying to personal will. Dying to personal ambition. Dying to personal desire. Becoming one with the Will of the Father, they were slain. They entered the state of transition.

They died to the false sense of self and were born of the Spirit and made their transition walking through the experience of death without being touched. And they in the higher Consciousness of those who are now, beheld by John as the souls at the altar. They want to know why there is still hate and violence and war and famine and death on this earth. If they died to their personal selfhood, why? And if they strived so hard to bring us this intelligence of a higher life, why do we still continue in ignorance?

And that is the meaning. And the voice responds: In other words, the higher impartation, Divine Revelation cannot come to you until you have aligned your will with the Father within. When you have aligned your will with the Father, you are said to be killed. You are slain of personal will and then in the one Will, the higher impartations of Revelation move through you from those who have gone before us into higher Consciousness. Always remember then that the killing and the slaying is a symbolic term for the dying daily to personal will, personal sense of self, a separated me who walks the earth separate and apart from a separated someone else.

All of us walking apart from a God. Now up to this point of the fifth seal, those of us on earth have not fully lined our will up with the Father, so we have not slain personal self. And so the sixth seal cannot be opened. The Invisible kingdom cannot be synchronized with the visible.

The blessings of those in higher Consciousness cannot overflow into our consciousness. But as we learn to do this, the sixth seal is opened. The sun became black, as sackcloth of hair, the moon became as blood.

Now before all this violence begins, you must see the symbology of the Soul very clearly here. When the Will of the Father and you are one, when the personal self is relinquished, when the purification has taken effect so that no longer are you a pawn for the world mind, which pushes emotions through you, sense beliefs, concepts, appearances, images which you think must be changed; when you are, to that extent redeemed from the false beliefs of the senses, when Divine Blood is flowing through you as the living Will of the Father, opening the sixth seal, then the greatest shock of your experience occurs.

You should be prepared for it. It is described here as an earthquake. Everything up to this point has been the acceptance of a material world in some way. Oh yes, we could try to believe that we are not physical being but Spirit, but we still depend on the sun for heat, for warmth, the stars for light at night. There are certain things about the physical world so deeply implanted in us that, now, when we come into true illumination, we discover that there is no reality in the physical world whatsoever.

And you ll notice that everything in the world that we think is permanent, safe, secure, we see through it now. We see through them. And our seeing through them, we recognize the lie of their being. And the lie that we recognize is described here. That is the reason with the sixth seal there was a great earthquake. This is a complete overthrowing of your material consciousness. We are the Light. You know how precision and order is the rule of the heavens. The stars move in just a certain way. Not just one star out of the Big Dipper, but the whole Dipper moves.

The astrologer can tell you within an instant what will be where and when, but now the stars are falling out of the sky like unripe figs in the wind. Everything that had seemed so constant, so stable, so secure, so safe, to you is seen as a myth. You no longer seek to find your security in the material world.

You have found a better security. You have found there is safety in Identity. There is stability in Christhood. There is security only in being Spiritual Self. And you find why a simple little sunbeam can never be killed, although a person can. It is upheld by the fullness of the sun and as you are in Spiritual Identity, you are upheld by the fullness of the Spirit. You walk in the third dimension untouched by it because you are really in the fourth. You push the mountains of matter into the sea, out of your Consciousness.

All of this is the disappearance of the belief, the concept of materiality from your Consciousness. It is not the end of the physical world, it is not violence, it is not hate, it is not these things that men have thought. It is the purification of your Consciousness into the realization that Spirit is all that is here. That happens as you go through these steps of reaching the inner Christ. You see every human authority is destroyed for you.

There are no human authorities in Spirit. And these kings and the rulers and the great men and the rich men, they all represent the false beliefs in the powers of this world, which have no power whatsoever over your Spiritual Identity. They are all trying to hide from the wrath of God. You know what wrath means?

The Wrath of God is Divine Love. The love of Truth to those who are not in Truth seems like wrath. The love of Truth of God is so perfect that all that is unlike Truth must hide under rocks, must fear. It s hiding from the Love, which is called the wrath because Love is wrath to those who are in untruth. And they are being freed from their untruth. Christ in you releases Divine Love and every belief unlike the Father begins to move out of your Consciousness. I want you to spend some time preparing for the seventh seal by carefully taking inventory.

And as a result, we may make every sincere effort to do so, but we still get off the white horse onto the gray one, the pale one and we still have a human me here in a physical form. Do you remember that wind that nobody knows about? Where it came from, it listeth and whence it comes nobody knows. That was how Jesus explained to Nicodemus about Spirit. You see the effects of the wind. Now this invisible Spirit is all there is and it is God and it is Light and it is perfection and it is here. And even though you may feel that you are riding the white horse of truth and purity and have conquered the pale horse, the red horse, and the black horse, the mind, the body, the emotions, this must now extend to all who walk the earth.

You see those three horses were not your mind, your body, your emotions at all. How could they be, if your name is Spirit. The invisible adversary that we must agree with is the world mind. We have all thought we are going through an initiation and we are, but not the way we think. Your Soul is going through the initiation. Your Soul passing through the world mind is being initiated and what happens here in form is only the shadow of that initiation.

Even the material self in which we walk is but the shadow cast by the Soul as it goes through the world mind. The shadow of the valley of death is where the image walks. But with that fifth seal, you began to feel Soul Consciousness. You were being redeemed from it and brought to reconciliation with the Soul and now you have turned the tables. You have turned within. That is the initiation your Soul is going through. It must take dominion over your form. It must take dominion over this world. And when you Soul takes dominion over your form, you will open the seventh seal. Then the Christ of you will open the seventh seal and you will stand on the throne with him who ascended to the throne before you.

Matter has been very carefully pointed out, even by the physicist, as nothing more than energy. It is not a substance. And more specifically, it is electrical energy. And the images you are looking at are made of electrical energy. You are looking at electrical energy in the form of images called things, persons, conditions, forms, and these electrical energy images are nothing more than mortal mind appearing as.

All matter in the universe is slowly decomposing, the moment it is born. Because it is not of God. There is no life in it. It is not a living substance. It is an electrical image. You have to live with that a while until matter does not fool you and you cannot do that while you are still in the emotions, or the mind.

All matter vibrates, and all motion in matter is caused by your reaction to those vibrations. Now when you look at an object, you think it has color, but it has no color whatsoever. Your reaction to its vibrations give it its color. Your reactions to its vibrations give it its length, its depth, and its width. The qualities of matter are your reaction to the vibrations of that matter and those vibrations are electrical impulses.

You must remember you are made of electrical impulses, too. And the rate of your vibration in relationship to the rate of its vibration determines your experience. All motion, all time, all space, all material consciousness is the relationship of one set of vibrations to another set and that is not the world that Christ Jesus walked in. He discovered another world where there is no vibration. My Kingdom is not a world of vibration. And if you want to walk in My Kingdom, you must find a way to resist not evil and evil is resisted only in one way.

The vibrations of your electrical self respond to the vibrations of that which you think is evil.

Books by Bill Skiles

To resist not means to remove the vibration of your being, to come into a state of non-vibration. And so it s called non-reaction, non-resistance. And it means non-vibration. Non-vibration is the method, the Silence in the wilderness that takes you into the Invisible kingdom of non-vibration. It was I, the Christ saying to a material person, what have I, Spirit to do with flesh? Spirit was teaching us that Spirit does not turn to flesh and let flesh be the authority.

He was saying that all authority is in the Spirit. Because he was the Christ showing eternal Life, and if he had accepted birth in the womb as a material being, he would have to undergo physical death. And there would be no Christ teaching on this earth, because the Christ teaching is, that you did not come into life when you appeared as a child, you came into form. Life was and is your name. What has Life got to do with form? And then the water was transformed to wine.

Again, showing that matter can be changed, matter being a belief of the mind made visible, the power to change matter, indicates that matter is not of God. That which is of God cannot be changed. The transformation further symbolized the transformation in Consciousness that we are going through. And you will go through that transformation successfully, more quickly, when you know I, Spirit, am Life itself, and I was never born. I am not the form. I am the Life. And you will discover quickly that your Soul has sent forth a form to do its will, its bidding, to be its instrument.

This is a surrender of all your human concepts of self. And it is best exemplified in the second chapter of John, when I Am, appears in Jerusalem. I want you to remember that I Am is the name of Christ Jesus. I Am the Spirit of God, and I Am appears there in Jerusalem at the temple; where just to enter, you had to pay an outrageous fee, where the poor worshiper was forced to buy on a black market, was forced to pay a discount rate for coins to pay his entrance fee, where the spirit of irreverence and mockery of the god they allegedly worshiped was so great, that even the priests were involved in the black market thievery.

Even the priest, the high priest countenanced commercializing religion, so much so that their income came from this commercialization of it. But it was the God of love. He even overthrew a table. He is talking about a revolution overthrowing your material consciousness. Every barrier in your human sense of things must be overthrown. All the sheep, all the oxen, all the doves, all the money changers must be cast from your human consciousness. And you know what those money changers are. Every concept you have that you are not Spirit, is a money changer. And you are paying a high price for that money.

Every concept that says you are form, you are matter, you are human, you are under the law of weather, climate, illness, disease, germs, these are the money changers in the temple. And you must vigorously expel them from your House. And would we call that anger? This is the love of God expressing you, calling to Spiritual Identity. He was opening them to Spiritual Identity. Destroy this body, this temple, and in three days I Am, Life itself, will raise this body. And so, when you have taken the whip to your material consciousness, when you have crossed out form, matter, age, sickness, change, limitation, lack, failure, distress, unhappiness, when you have crossed out everything that is not Spirit, then your House is not a house of merchandise.

I Am indestructible Life itself. Until you wear white raiment, you are naked. Until you walk in the Consciousness of Spiritual form, you are not your Self and your House is still a house of merchandise.

That is the Christ message to us, and it is the message that, although we read it in the book, it has another place where it lives, it lives now in your Soul. It has ever resided in your Soul awaiting recognition. As you come up to it, you will hear it. It will impart itself to you as a voice, as an expression. One way or another you will know, every Word spoken by I Am is timeless, never goes away. It is a permanent dispensation in which we are all joint heirs. Soul perception is anointing your eye with eye salve.

Christ will not come until you have cast out the material man. As you reject that which is not, that which is enters in. As you step away from Omnipresence, denying it, as you miss Omnipresence in your Consciousness, that missing of Omnipresence in you, must show forth in your experience as something missing there. When you miss the realization of I Am, the omnipresent Spirit, then in your living experience something will be missed. It will be a thing or a person or a condition.

It must appear as missing because you are missing it in your Spiritual awareness. When you depart from I Am, then the qualities of I Am cannot manifest, they must depart from you. Whatever you are missing, you first missed in your realization of truth. When you will not depart from I Am Spirit, and therefore all of the Father is included in my Being, you will find you have invoked the law of Spirit and nothing will be withheld from your outer experience.

But when you are not doing this, the Father within cannot function and so there appears to be a lack or a limitation. And Love brings you back home again. Never take a chastening or a rebuke as punishment, because the only reason it appears there is that you have departed from Love, from the all and all of God as your Being.

And that very Love, at that moment that you are being chastened and rebuked, is waiting to take you back home. Every rebuke, every chastening is the act of Love advising you that somewhere you have departed from the realization of your Identity, and with that beautiful signal you can turn and come home.

Turn and come home. That same I that speaks this bible to you, stands at the door of your Consciousness constantly. But if you walk away from it, I still stand at the door of your Consciousness. There is no time when I am not there waiting for you to accept I as your name, I as your Identity.

Your identity is ever waiting at the door of your Consciousness for you to say I am I. I Am Divine Substance.

Books by Bill Skiles (Author of Steps To Mystical Experience)

I Am Divine Life. This is ever awaiting your acceptance. Nothing can remove it. Never can you accept, without I coming into your Consciousness and bringing to you the fullness of Being. I asks no favors, no persuasion, no pleading, nothing but the acceptance by the rejection of all that is not I. The emptying of the house of the human concept is the invitation to I to come in. This is your Infinite communion with the Father. I supping with you is Christ realized. I supping with you are the angels of the Father ascending and descending as your living Consciousness, prospering every deed by ordaining those deeds.

When you are on the throne of God, Grace liveth your life and is your sufficiency in all things. Whoever receives Spiritual Identity in Consciousness and becomes thereby Spiritually conscious, is living in Christ within. And Christ within is on the throne of the Father, in the Will of the Father, expressing the Grace of the Father in all things. The overcoming then, which enables you to experience the timeless Grace of the Father, is the emptying out of the false temple of material consciousness of the belief, that there is life in physical form.

There is no place where your Life is not. There is no quality of God that is not embodied in your Divine Life. And that Divine Life is now expressing and appearing to human sense as your form. As your awareness of that Divine Life increases, the form manifests more and more of that Divinity. And all of the functions of that form come under Divine Law until the form makes a transition into Spiritual form, here on this earth, so that it becomes timeless, Spiritual form, not subject to the laws of this world. That is why we must overcome the belief in a temporary, physical form.

In your overcoming you will be in the Christ mind which is the activity of God in you in all its fullness. As you dwell with these things, you may discover that you are becoming aware, that the greatest contribution which you can make to the world is to be your Spiritual Self. Whereas before you may have been content to do good to others, the greatest good you can do, is to be the living Spiritual child of God. Form was your name before you awakened to Life.

And then you know that it has never been taught, what the greatest contribution of Jesus was to this world. He discovered another world right where this world appears. But Jesus discovered the I-world here and now. Columbus discovered a country, Jesus discovered a universe. He discovered another world, and he named it the kingdom of God, and he said you can walk in it, It is here, and there is no death in it, and there is no sickness in it, and there is no famine in it, and no pollution in it, and no unemployment in it, no pain or suffering in it, no blindness and deafness in it, and It is here.

Form cannot walk in it, only Life can. And it is at hand. And so in the seventh letter Christ Jesus who had walked the earth in form and taught this truth, and to now tell the world through John that they were not following his teaching.

They were compromising and they were going to compromise further and ultimately accept a form of worship, which had nothing to do with the Living Christ on earth. And so now this message comes to us with renewed force. Apparently, this is the time for the world to learn that I Christ, who walked the earth in a form called Jesus, I Christ, who walked the earth in a form called Buddha, I Christ, who walked the earth in a form called Lao Tzu, I Christ, am now walking the earth where your form appears.

Will you be form, or will you be Divine Life?

I in the midst of you am the way.

Will you walk in the world of good and evil, or will you walk as I in the kingdom of God where that false world now appears? These are the seven letters. We will all walk in the kingdom as I. And as we go forth now into the fourth chapter, the next week, we will start to break the seven seals. The seventh letter is Divine righteousness. Not human righteousness, not human wisdom, not human judgment, Divine righteousness, which flows only through I, the Life which is Christ in you.

And now you have the seven keys, the seven unfulfilled stars of your Being. And you can let Christ in you, light those stars, bringing you to the throne of God. And this Revelation of St. John purports to do just that. There have been many times when we have felt frustrated by our progress, by our lack of understanding, by seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and yet everyone of these has been important.

You will never know how much they were needed until, because of these frustrations, you dig deeper and climb higher. But in the moment of self anger, when you rise above your own limited human capacities, you discover a new depth of your Self. And suddenly you see: But I was blind before. Now one of those revelations is the one you heard today, which is one of the most difficult to accept, and that is: There is no Life in form.

You will discover that you have never been confined to a place or a time. And then you will learn how not to confine others to a place and a time, malpracticing them into a form when they are Divine Life, not confined to time, place, to city or century — ever. Life without beginning or end. There is no possibility of the Life that you are to ever be less than perfect.
