Chapter 26 ~  The Brick
 
What is the key brick to the Metanoic wall that will yield a major breakthrough?
 
Well, lets examine what that brick might be.
 
God is all there is. That means that you are God and that everything you experience is God without exception. That means that nothing ever happens except God. That means that you never do, think, feel or intend anything other than God.
 
"But," you say, "I don't experience myself as God." The key brick is to know that that is a lie and that you are lying when you say that. There can't be anything other than God, you can't be anything other than God, and hence there isn't anything for you to experience other than God. So the whole thing is a lie. And hence if you believe it, you are simply lying to yourself.
 
Who is this liar? Who is it that deliberately believes that which is not true? Who is lying, and why is he lying? It is not the self that you actually are that is lying. The self that you actually are is God absolutely aware of Himself as all there is. However, the self of you that believes he is a particular human being named Mr. Ben Gilberti, who has a family history and a life history, who is the central figure in a human drama story, who has a physical body that needs protection and all manner of supplies and services, who can own a back account and property and develop financial and/or political power, who can be wealthy or poor, hero or villain, success or failure, healthy or ill, alive or dead. That self. That's the self who would believe he had something to profit from believing the lie, "I don't experience myself as God."
 
Almost the entirety of the drama this self is playing out in the dream is predicated on the belief "I don't experience myself as God." Take that belief away and that whole self goes, lock, stock and barrel. If that self were to stop telling that lie, it would disappear instantly. It has no existence other than posing as though the lie were true. In so doing it is essential that you do not experience yourself as God or else you wouldn't be able to play the role in the dream at all. If you completely experienced yourself as God you would not be able to not experience yourself as God and act out the drama predicated on that premise. The local self would disappear instantly. The local self is only a lie. The local self IS the lie, "I don't experience myself as God, I experience myself as a local self, separate and apart from billions, maybe trillions, of other local selves, each of us with a limited amount of power, intelligence and ability."
 
But the answer is still very simple. Simply tell the truth. That's all. In so doing, the self that tells the lie disappears and you return to your true identity -- God. So simply tell the truth, which is: "I experience myself as God." Contemplate that in meditation. Then contemplate it all the time in a meditation that goes on within you no matter what you may be doing or saying. "I experience myself as God."
 
But don't say it as though it were an affirmation. You aren't trying to declare it into being. Say it as though you were simply telling the truth. Feel what it feels like to simply tell the truth. Feel the contrast between that and how it feels to be a liar who tells the lie, "I don't experience myself as God" in order to maintain his own imaginary existence.
 
Do you really feel like going back to pretending to be that lying self? Of course not! Are you pulled back into it against your will? Of course not. The local self has no power whatsoever except insofar as someone decides to lie in order to create the local self. Once you simply tell the truth, there is no longer any self that decides to lie instead. The local self comes and goes with the decision to tell the truth or tell a lie. All you have to do is simply tell the truth: "I experience myself as God."
