Illumination...

Illumination is the attainment of the fourth-dimensional consciousness in which we no longer see materially, hear materially, or believed materially, but in which we see through the appearance, just as we would see through the appearance of a mirage on a desert.

The human being, living in the third dimension, sees an ailing body or a disturbed mind, and longs to do something about it, whereas the fourth-dimensional consciousness sees through it. This does not mean that this higher consciousness has no awareness of the existence of such things, but to the fourth-dimensional consciousness they do not have existence as reality. That is the difference. Even Jesus saw the crippled man, but while his physical eye took cognizance of this condition, his inner eye saw through the appearance to the man's Christhood.

The fourth-dimensional consciousness sees the discords as well as the beauties of this world, but when it sees these, it does not become hypnotized, enthralled, or excited by them. This enlightened consciousness sees both abundance and lack as but temporary phases of human existence~ here today, and perhaps gone tomorrow~ full well realizing that it makes little difference what the appearance is because the reality is still there. And what is reality? The reality is consciousness. If through our consciousness we manifest a certain amount of supply or abundance, and if for some reason it is wiped away, what difference does that make, if we still have the consciousness that brought it forth?

Illumination frees us from the fear, hate, or love of any form in the external world.

"I" live by the Spirit of God, not by external things, thoughts, or persons, but by the Spirit of God.
