"We, who know God in us, are desirous of illumining the path for you to find that Light of inner knowing - and when you do find it, you will then be able to say - with deep knowing - I and my Father are ONE - and you will know all things." [Atomic Suicide, page 191]
KNOWING VERSUS SENSING
"I shall read to you from The Divine Iliad.
"See thou no more with outer eyes alone, for thou hast knowing eyes to void the illusions of thy sensing.
"Throughout long aeons man has walked his earth with eyes of outer seeing, giving belief to that earth
of his body's sensing. Throughout his new aeons he must walk with eyes of inner seeing and know Me
in it as but visioning it in Light of Me and Light of him.
"For I am a patient God. I patiently await awaking men.
"Awakening man is he who knows the Light of Me in him. Man may choose his own aeons for his
awakening, but know Me he must. Until that day man's agony of unknowing shall be man's alone. His
knowing must be his own desiring.
"Why fore be thou slave to thy sensing. Rise thou above thy sensing. Be Me in thy knowing."
We live in two universes--the universe of sensing and the universe of knowing. The universe of sensing
is the visible material electric universe of motion with which we are familiar. The universe of knowing
is the invisible universe which we cannot sense. Man begins his existence upon this earth with sensing
only. He has no knowledge whatsoever when he begins. He lives entirely in the instinctive electric
universe of sensing.
The nerves of his body are what make him aware of his material existence. Sensation is what he feels
with his body. He is electrically aware that he has a body. Electrical awareness of his body does not
mean that he knows anything because of that awareness of his body.
Sensing and knowing have no relation to each other. Sensing consists of vibrating waves of two lights
of matter in motion. Knowing consists of the One Light of spirit which is still. The one still Light of
knowing centers all motion, just as the still fulcrum centers the moving lever.
There is no motion in a fulcrum. All motion is in the moving lever which extends from the fulcrum.
Likewise, there is no power in the moving lever which extends from the fulcrum. The power which is
manifested by the lever is in the fulcrum upon which the lever oscillates.
Those who manifest god's knowing are moving levers which oscillate upon the still fulcrum of God's
One Light of knowing. They first manifest Him through the senses as motion. They then become Him
through conscious knowing." [Russell, The Message of the Divine Iliad]
