EMISSARY OF LIGHT, BY JAMES TWYMAN (1996, Alsan Publishing)
This is not something you’ll learn. It’s something you’ll remember. That’s true for all of us. Extending Divine Light is something we already do because everyone in the world is what the Divine Light is. But if we forget what we are, then our extension of light becomes muddled and unclear. p84
A dreaming mind can create whatever world it wants, but it cant make it real. It can create entire worlds that run by completely different laws, but when the mind wakes up it finds that reality has never changed. Everything is the same as it was before the dream. p93
What is the truth? Simply this: humanity has chosen its own isolation, imposed its own exile. The pain, suffering and loneliness of the world is born from the idea that humanity can be separate from God, or creation, or however you want to express the divine. But once again, this is an idea, an attempt to make possible what is impossible. This is why it will inevitably fail. p 94
But humanity has forgotten that it chose this isolation freely. Because it has the power of free will, it has the ability to experience anything it wishes. But it cant make the impossible real, and separation from source is impossible. It can only make it seem real. The awakening we speak of is really a “Declaration of Dependence”. It is the willingness to accept the role of being a co-creator with God. By becoming completely dependent we experience power, a belief totally foreign to the ego, which believes the opposite. By declaring your dependence on God you release the illusion of separation and reassume your place in the Divine drama. p 95
Form is the result of energy, the result of thought. Without thought form would not exist. When we change the way we think, form changes. This is the essential teaching. Our task is not to change the world, but to change our thoughts about the world… And what is the truth? Love is real because it is whole. Peace is real because it is sound. God is real because it is eternal. What is not eternal, whole and sound is not real. It doesn’t exist and has no consequence. Our task is to reveal what is real. As we do this, we reveal the nature of what isn’t. It is that simple. p 105/6
Fear is nothing more than the self-imposed block to the experience of love. Why is it self-imposed? Because we have chosen to see ourselves contrary to how we truly are. It’s that simple. In truth, we are the experience of love itself… What God has created has remained as God created it, in the image and likeness of God. what was created whole cannot be divided, but it can be falsely perceived. And this is the role of fear: to perceive perfection as imperfect, and to see what is true as false. p 106/7.
The ego uses the body to prove you are a separate being that is vulnerable and easily conquered. When you are aware of your natural state, or spirit, you know this is not true. You cannot be attacked because you are not separate from anything. Therefore, there is nothing for you to fear. There is nothing outside or beyond you to attack or hurt the real you. The reason you are afraid is because you have forgotten this fact. You have identified with your body instead of your spirit. The goal of releasing fear is to remember your essential self and your spiritual union with all creation. p109
Your job will be to help people identify those blocks so they can remember who they are. You can do this in two ways. The first is to identify each manifestation of fear, each instance and situation in which fear presents itself, then use a tool or technique to dissolve it. The problem with this method is that it takes a great deal of time to identify each and every fearful thought lurking in each of the dark corners of the mind. The second method is to release the foundation of fear, or in other words, your first fearful thought. This is the thought upon which each subsequent fearful thought is based. This first thought marks the beginning of delusion, the foundation of an illusory thought system that has influenced and controlled your perception of the world, yourself, each brother and sister and God. The first fearful, untrue and illusory thought on which every other thought is based is simply this: You are separate from God. In perceiving yourself as separate from God, you have created a world where you are separate from and threatened by everything… Take away this belief and everything above it crumbles… There is no need to release all surrounding blocks of fearful beliefs you have. Simply release the idea that you are separate from God and the dream of separation ends on its own. p 109/10
Your thoughts about an emotion are like a veil which helps you identify and define what that emotion means to you. Your interpretation of whether a feeling is good or bad, happy or sad, is a covering that shows your attitude about yourself. But behind each of these veils, each of these coverings, is energy itself. Releasing your thoughts about the emotion lets you experience the undefined, formless energy of which all creation is based. p 112
The way you interpret energy is always related to what you value. When you release your values you are able to use all your emotions, all your feelings, to extend energy, or Divine Light. Without value judgements your fearful thoughts are no different than your joyful thoughts. The reason for pulling them into your chest [heart centre] is to balance and purify the light. The heart is the centre of compassion and love. The extension of Divine Light is first and foremost a work of love, an extension of the intellect. Releasing judgement means setting your thoughts aside and trusting your feelings. They are the dynamite that ignites Divine Light. When your mind is clear they become a laser beam that cuts through illusion and deception to the truth of creation. p 113
Why is it necessary to teach these things? For two reasons. The first is that people need to release their fear in order to take the next step in this global awakening. The second is that the energy that will be generated by massive numbers of people learning to channel Divine Light will enable humanity to step past the appearance of change, to the changeless within them. p 121
Your job is not to wake up anyone else, but to open your own eyes to the truth that has always been in front of you. You cannot truly heal until you wake up and realize that there is nothing to heal. You will heal by seeing behind the masks the ego uses to hide the truth. p124
Extending Divine light is the culmination of 3 things – simplicity, patience and compassion. You must begin to embody them yourself if you are to learn these lessons. p127 The Light is within you, it is not out there somewhere. You’re being led back to yourself. The world is within you as well.
We have total control over our lives. Everything that happens to us happens by our choice. p136
Admitting that you don’t know is the first step. The next is stepping back and giving control back to God or your higher power. How do you do this? Simply by surrendering, by giving up. This is where trust comes in. It’s now obvious that you don’t know what’s best, but now you have to trust that God does, and that God will guide you if you allow… When you release your fear and relax into this essential nature, miracles happen all around you. And this is how healing occurs as well. When you release fear you are automatically healed, since sickness is the product of a fearful mind… The more you step back, the more things flow. Conflict becomes your sign to relax and let go. The more you trust the easier it will be to release the fear that seems to control your life. p137/8
To surrender means to understand that you need help to escape from fear. You cannot do it on your own or you would have done it already. You must learn to step back and surrender to the One who can show you truth. You must let go of your ideas of how it should be done, and accept the vision of One who really knows… Once you have stepped back and surrendered, you must trust that you will be given an answer. The more you trust, the quicker you will discover peace. Finally, gratitude is to your awakening what plutonium is to a nuclear missile. It is the spark that ignites hidden sources of energy and Light, lifting you up to whole new levels of joy and peace. p155
You are the very essence of Love. This very moment, just as you are, in spite of all the preconceived ideas you have of yourself, love claims and accepts you. You have forgotten who you are because in your fear of losing love you have withheld that which is your foundation. Love by its very nature is a gift that is freely given. And yet this gift is known only as it is given again. Only when love is breathed from one heart to another is it fully experienced…. True, or unconditional love, is unaware of the strange demands you impose on your relationships. Love is the same for all. Your attempts to reserve love for specific relationships and then withhold it from others is the very thing that has blocked your vision of love’s presence…. when you judge some people as worthy of your giving and other people as undeserving, then it is you who is undeserving; not because you have been judged by love but because you have forgotten love’s law. You, in your essence, are the fountain of unconditional love… Love is a knowing; a pure understanding. It knows that all things are whole, regardless of their appearance or delusion, and it gives itself wholly, without judgement, without recognising the difference between this relationship or that. It understands that there is only one relationship and it is the one we all share, the Self that is beyond the thought or the idea of Love, the holy encounter of life with life. The secret of unconditional love is that we are all the same, holy beyond imagination. This is what the release of fear reveals. This is what you are looking for. This is what you will find when you open your heart to every element of creation. p180/1
You must step through the Door to Eternity, the door that leads away from time. This is the step that all other lessons have led to. It begins with the release of fear, then sees past the illusion of separation. Once you have allowed Divine Light to build within you and permeate your being, only then are you ready to see the Door. All it takes is a shift in perception to see it. Your desire will show it to you. Let your desire grow strong and and increase until you feel you must go to it. The Light will pull you. Let yourself be taken. Stepping through the Door is something that will happen on its own when you have completely released your fear. You will step out of time and experience eternity, then you will step back as an Emissary of Light. You must be diligent and focus your mind on one thing – stepping through the Door of Eternity. This must be your single goal. Nothing else matters but this. p252/4.
