The Threshing Floor Radio Show-December 3, 2011-Randy Maugans
"When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty." -The Gospel of Thomas
NOW-ness is the stage…the PERFECT PRESENT where the infinite and finite merge. Now, all of that sounds mystical and very ephemeral…but, in fact, it is both PRACTICAL, and very lasting. We DO change, in some respects, “in the twinkling of an EYE…” and this is the mystery. Change means we BECOME…we move from one stage to another stage…a HIGHER stage, wherein we are transformed. BUT---as humans creations with FREE WILL, we very much do have the choice to MAKE the change. Yet, like the chrysalis, we also face certain death. Because choosing to NOT make the ordained changes, in the ordered time, means we deny our soul development and begin a DOWNWARD shift that freezes us in that state, and denies the invitation to BECOME…to transform into the Higher Calling. KNOWING yourself means you manifest that which is WITHIN---you are known as you KNOW, and thus present the INNER to the OUTER…children of the living God, the Father of Lights…who are heirs to the kingdom. Heirs are not in poverty. Those who fail to respond to the “window of time”…this present great quickening…both live IN poverty, but become a poverty to others.
