Highlights From the Q & A Service

First "Thank you" for being courageous enough to ask your questions. And Donna, a particular thanks to you for getting the ball rolling. I was thrown by one question and another haunted me on my drive home. The question that haunted me was Roslyn's: "How come we don't see anyone doing the works of Christ Jesus?" Don't be fooled. People are doing some amazing things, but what happens is that they begin to retreat from society. Why? Because when they share their stories, no one believes them. As the so-called supernormal become more normal for these people, they find it more difficult to share what is most meaningful in their lives, and usually retreat to a monastic lifestyle. But Roslyn didn't ask the Ultimate question which is, "Why is it that it seems no one is as dedicated to Truth as Christ Jesus?" It was C.J.'s unwavering devotion to knowing and Being Truth that showed forth as superhuman ability. People seem to want the ability without the devotion. Won't happen! The other question was Terri's: "What does that look like?" Although a good question it caught me by surprise. The practice of Truth is nothing more than the acknowledgment of God as the only Presence, Power, Mind, Life, Substance and Activity. Have you ever complemented a woman on the pretty dress she was wearing? The complement was not to change the attire, it was simply an acknowledgment of what IS (was). Truth acknowledged cannot be to change what appears to be. It must be to merely acknowledge what IS according to God's absolute Allness. The Mind of God only acknowledges God.
