This is the gold, and this is the Way. Because when Christ in you lives your life, all that we had sought in our material consciousness turns out to be the added things that automatically show forth when we have found Christ, the kingdom of God within. In Christ you are in the kingdom of God.
Instead of seeking so many of the outer things, we find, Christ embodies all of the Father.

And you have ever had this Infinite storehouse of the Father embodied in the seed of your being. Now it must become real to you, so real, that everything in the outer to you now becomes a mere added something without effort. I go before you, I in the mist of you, I become your house, your companion, I become the cement of your human relationships. I become all the added things. I Am life itself. And so we are turning, turning from that world consciousness which has had us up to now, seek a limited life, within a time span, with all the human appendages that make for a comfortable material life.
And this we renounce, for we do not have to go out to possess anything when we have all that Christ is, embodied in our very being. And we are free in Christ. We are without fear. We are without needs to fulfill. We have left the struggle and the strife. We are without the consciousness of evil. For we know that that which is not the Will of God has no place where it can exist. One of the most important religious leaders in the world recently announced that evil is the Will of God.
He said, probably all these terrible things that happen to us, happen to us because God wants us to know that we have to come to His house. God alone exists as Infinite Being, and there is no evil in God. And there is no evil in the Will of God. And what is not in the Will of God cannot exist.
And the Christ of you knows that. The Christ of you knows there is no evil. The Christ of you does not resist it. And that means that all that you are to be, you already are in Christ. The moment you touch that Christ in you, and five hundred thousand years from now are touched in that moment… And you are insuring not just the next twenty or thirty years, but the eternality of your Being.
This is the pearl for which we sell all, that we may live in Reality instead of under the hypnosis of mortal beliefs. There is no life in this material form. There is no life in any material form. Life is one indivisible Infinite Being. That Life that you are, seems to be confined to this form, and that is the hypnosis under which we live until we touch Christ within. You cannot with your human mind fully accept the truth that your Life is not confined to a form and is not even in the form. The form is in the Life.
Books by Bill Skiles
Your Life is not in your heart and does not depend on your heart. Your Life does not depend on your body.
Your heart and your body depend on your Life. We learn that we are Life, and the more you can identify as Life — the only Life there is, Divine Life, Life that is never separated from its Infinite Self -, the more you can identify as it, the more you will learn how to relax and depend upon Life to maintain its perfect Self, no matter what appearances may come. Yes, the seventh letter is Divine righteousness. And you cannot judge righteous judgment with a human mind. The Christ mind in you judges righteous judgment.
And it will tell you that I Am the life and there is no other. The only life there is, is Christ Life, Divine Life. And in the seventh letter, the seventh key to I Am, you are walking in the knowledge that I Am the Life that is Divine. And I Am not the form. I Am the Christ realized. And that I Am-Christ looks at its mother, and the world has been shocked.
It was I, the Christ saying to a material person, what have I, Spirit to do with flesh? Spirit was teaching us that Spirit does not turn to flesh and let flesh be the authority. He was saying that all authority is in the Spirit. Because he was the Christ showing eternal Life, and if he had accepted birth in the womb as a material being, he would have to undergo physical death. And there would be no Christ teaching on this earth, because the Christ teaching is, that you did not come into life when you appeared as a child, you came into form.
Life was and is your name. What has Life got to do with form? And then the water was transformed to wine. Again, showing that matter can be changed, matter being a belief of the mind made visible, the power to change matter, indicates that matter is not of God. That which is of God cannot be changed. The transformation further symbolized the transformation in Consciousness that we are going through. And you will go through that transformation successfully, more quickly, when you know I, Spirit, am Life itself, and I was never born.
I am not the form.
I in the midst of you am the way.
I am the Life. And you will discover quickly that your Soul has sent forth a form to do its will, its bidding, to be its instrument. This is a surrender of all your human concepts of self. And it is best exemplified in the second chapter of John, when I Am, appears in Jerusalem. I want you to remember that I Am is the name of Christ Jesus. I Am the Spirit of God, and I Am appears there in Jerusalem at the temple; where just to enter, you had to pay an outrageous fee, where the poor worshiper was forced to buy on a black market, was forced to pay a discount rate for coins to pay his entrance fee, where the spirit of irreverence and mockery of the god they allegedly worshiped was so great, that even the priests were involved in the black market thievery.
Even the priest, the high priest countenanced commercializing religion, so much so that their income came from this commercialization of it. But it was the God of love. He even overthrew a table. He is talking about a revolution overthrowing your material consciousness.
Every barrier in your human sense of things must be overthrown. All the sheep, all the oxen, all the doves, all the money changers must be cast from your human consciousness. And you know what those money changers are. Every concept you have that you are not Spirit, is a money changer. And you are paying a high price for that money. Every concept that says you are form, you are matter, you are human, you are under the law of weather, climate, illness, disease, germs, these are the money changers in the temple.
And you must vigorously expel them from your House. And would we call that anger? This is the love of God expressing you, calling to Spiritual Identity. He was opening them to Spiritual Identity. Destroy this body, this temple, and in three days I Am, Life itself, will raise this body. And so, when you have taken the whip to your material consciousness, when you have crossed out form, matter, age, sickness, change, limitation, lack, failure, distress, unhappiness, when you have crossed out everything that is not Spirit, then your House is not a house of merchandise.
I Am indestructible Life itself. Until you wear white raiment, you are naked. Until you walk in the Consciousness of Spiritual form, you are not your Self and your House is still a house of merchandise. That is the Christ message to us, and it is the message that, although we read it in the book, it has another place where it lives, it lives now in your Soul. It has ever resided in your Soul awaiting recognition. As you come up to it, you will hear it. It will impart itself to you as a voice, as an expression. One way or another you will know, every Word spoken by I Am is timeless, never goes away.
It is a permanent dispensation in which we are all joint heirs. Soul perception is anointing your eye with eye salve. Christ will not come until you have cast out the material man. As you reject that which is not, that which is enters in. As you step away from Omnipresence, denying it, as you miss Omnipresence in your Consciousness, that missing of Omnipresence in you, must show forth in your experience as something missing there. When you miss the realization of I Am, the omnipresent Spirit, then in your living experience something will be missed.
It will be a thing or a person or a condition. It must appear as missing because you are missing it in your Spiritual awareness. When you depart from I Am, then the qualities of I Am cannot manifest, they must depart from you. Whatever you are missing, you first missed in your realization of truth.
When you will not depart from I Am Spirit, and therefore all of the Father is included in my Being, you will find you have invoked the law of Spirit and nothing will be withheld from your outer experience. But when you are not doing this, the Father within cannot function and so there appears to be a lack or a limitation. And Love brings you back home again.
Never take a chastening or a rebuke as punishment, because the only reason it appears there is that you have departed from Love, from the all and all of God as your Being. And that very Love, at that moment that you are being chastened and rebuked, is waiting to take you back home. Every rebuke, every chastening is the act of Love advising you that somewhere you have departed from the realization of your Identity, and with that beautiful signal you can turn and come home.
Turn and come home. That same I that speaks this bible to you, stands at the door of your Consciousness constantly. But if you walk away from it, I still stand at the door of your Consciousness. There is no time when I am not there waiting for you to accept I as your name, I as your Identity.
Your identity is ever waiting at the door of your Consciousness for you to say I am I. I Am Divine Substance. I Am Divine Life. This is ever awaiting your acceptance. Nothing can remove it. Never can you accept, without I coming into your Consciousness and bringing to you the fullness of Being. I asks no favors, no persuasion, no pleading, nothing but the acceptance by the rejection of all that is not I. The emptying of the house of the human concept is the invitation to I to come in.
This is your Infinite communion with the Father. I supping with you is Christ realized. I supping with you are the angels of the Father ascending and descending as your living Consciousness, prospering every deed by ordaining those deeds. Low to High Price: High to Low Avg.

Steps to Mystical Experience: The Revelation Of St. John The Divine - Volume 1: Interpreted by Herb Fitch Nov 28, Provide feedback about this page. They are the vision of Christ in John.
Is the Word of God mocked? Or perhaps, the four horsemen have been like the tree out in the yard, barren all winter and then suddenly in bloom. We are in the age when the four horsemen are about to bloom and we can understand their power within us; their meaning. We see them now through the eyes of John in a different way. Not the way men have written about them, but through the eyes of Spirit.
We know the first one is going to be this white horse. Now this is what you must learn right at the outset: You are the four horsemen and you will see why. He was at that level that saw the same vision that had been seen before by others. Much that you hear and read in the Revelation of John occurs at a certain level of Consciousness and so Zachariah saw things that John saw. Ezekiel saw some and they represent the assurance to you that there is a place in Consciousness where you, too, will see the four horsemen. The visions, the Lamb, the Golden Halo, the Throne.
These are symbols, not of the Earth, but of the Soul. Think back a moment when Truth first came to you in a strong way. You had the crown of victory going for you. You were exalted beyond the power of your imagination. You were Lady Guinevere or king Galahad himself dashing off into the horizon because you had the new Truth.
The awareness of a certain power within you. And this is what happens to everyone at this point, when Truth first enters in and lifts us out of the prison of the human mind. What a glorious feeling it is. And as he previously said we have the feeling that we shall reign and be kings of the Earth and priests of the Father. And this is how we feel at this point. This is every person who begins to love the Bible, wants to go out and be a missionary, wants to spread the word, the good news. Then lo, and behold right outside of you, from within you, you find another horse emerging.
And then a fourth one, a pale one, or gray one. You started out on a white horse of Truth, with a bow ready to hit any target, a bullseye, a perfect bullseye. You had the crown of victory. You, on the white horse, against your own will, with no purpose in mind, you were lifted right off of it and you found yourself riding a red one. Again you were lifted off of it and found yourself riding a black one and then a pale one.
The war is only the war that takes place within you. The famine is only the famine within you. The death is only the death within you. Each of us has a war going on, a turmoil, an inner unrest. The rider on the red horse, the war, is the unrest within you. And this takes place because of the nature of human emotions.
The rider on the black horse is your intellect, your sense of reason and logic, your five sense world. It is black because it is not in the Light. It is not in the Christ, which is the Light. And the rider on the pale horse is your belief in matter. Your consciousness of body, of form. And so you find that although you have been given the Word and have accepted it, believe in it and worship God and move out on your white horse, a power unknown to you, moves through you and it is the world mind and it takes you right off your white horse into a bed of emotions.
This is your red horse. It is the world mind functioning through and as your mind. Something out there you must condemn. Oh, but God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all. That was true on the white horse, but not right now. Along comes a wave of world thought. Whereas you started out with the pure light of truth, now you are reasoning your way. With your mind, you can come through this problem. With your mind, you can solve anything. And the fourth horse, the pale horse, the gray horse is even harder to overcome.
For that is your acceptance of the physical world.

You start out with the idea of following the message of Jesus Christ, but the world mind comes to you as beliefs which come as horses. The red horse of emotion, the black horse of intellect, the pale horse of the belief in matter. And these are your four horsemen. Which do you ride?
It was at this place that a fifth horseman appeared. It was at this place that Jesus Christ moves forward through your being. That the Christ of your being reveals a new you, a new Self, a new Identity. The white horse is eventually going to overcome the other three as your Spiritual Identity, but first you must go through the acts of purification. You must overcome the red horse, the emotions. You must overcome the black horse, the intellect, the human mind, the five sense beliefs.
You must overcome the pale horse, the belief in matter. You must be purified of every belief that says God is not all and then you are ready for the fifth seal — not before. You are the Christ, but the false world consciousness forces you to react emotionally, intellectually, and physically. I Am the Way.
Not by might, not by power, not by mental might, not by physical might, not by mental power, not by physical power, but by my Spirit, saith the Christ. And your purification then is to rely on the Invisible Christ of being. To know the allness of the Father where the appearances seem to be. To take every form of emotional reaction you have and to look at it as a denial of the all presence of the Spirit of God. Our fidelity is to Christ, not to my emotions. And what are some of these emotional, intellectual and physical requirements?
Emotionally, we have our ambition and you know if not for a physical consciousness what would you ever fear? Fear is born of the fact that you think someone can destroy or hurt that which you entertain in your physical consciousness, which in itself is a denial of Spiritual Identity. So while you are riding either the red, the black or the pale horse, you are building your own barriers to the pure Christ message. Preventing yourself from moving up to the Throne of the Father to receive from the power of His Will, the perfect Truth of your own Self and the universe around you.
You break the law of karma. Now just as you have inner unrest and others do, this inner turmoil becomes the outer war that the world experiences. Just as we are bankrupt spiritually and starving our own Souls, this inner starvation becomes the famine that the world experiences outside. Just as we are dead to Christ within, so this inner deadness becomes the actual outer death. War, famine and death, death due to violence, death due to lack, and death due to death, itself are all a part of the inner consciousness of man externalized.
If it is purified, it will externalize as the fruitage of Spirit. To go to the fifth, sixth and seventh seals, you must see that you must take yourself to task and analyze the degree to which you have been obedient to the commandment: Alas, you cannot do it for you, you must acknowledge Christ in all. And you cannot be resentful to Christ, you cannot envy Christ, you cannot be indignant to Christ or vengeful to Christ.
Do you see how your emotions fool you? Raising you into resistance to what? The very quality in you which alone can unlock the secrets of life. And as these are finally accepted to a great degree within you, you find the Lamb in you rising to open that fifth seal. Suppose we clarify a few of the finer points here before we move ahead on the second seal. And this conflict of will within you sets up this inner turmoil which happens in everyone and you can see why war finally does appear and why peace is taken from the earth.
We take it from ourself. We cannot externalize peace because we do not have it within us. And this is how the peace is taken from the earth. And I heard of voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Now on the black horse, we see that this rider, this intellect, this human mind carries a pair of scales or balances.
The balance from within is the same thing that occurs in the without. That which appears outside of you is that which happens inside of you. And if you re not sowing to the Spirit, you cannot reap Spiritual fruitage out there. You are making your own balance. A measure of wheat for a penny, three measures of barley for a penny. That which you reap is exactly what you have sown. You get what you pay for. If the price of wheat is so much and you pay so much, you get so much wheat for that price.
You cannot receive more than you give. The law of karma makes the perfect adjustment so that what you are being told here is, whatever you experience in your life is exactly what you have paid for. And your paying is done through your consciousness because it is your consciousness that becomes your experience. You harvest your own consciousness.
When you sow to the Spirit, to the Christ, that Consciousness of the Christ becomes your harvest. And this is why famine rides this horse. The mind of man is separated from the mind of the Father. This Spiritual bankruptcy is the famine that rides the black horse, the absence of Light. And it says there in that same one, and hurt not the oil and the wine.
You remember the five wise virgins were oiling their lamps. They were in a state of oneness with Christ within. They were receiving Divine lubrication. The oil always refers to those who are anointed by the Spirit. And the wine is the same. The Wine of Spirit. To show you that the Letter of Truth must become the Living waters; the Spirit of Truth which is called the wine. And so if you are watching within, resting in the knowledge of Christ within, then you are in the wine of Spirit.
That is the fruit of resting within. Anointed by the oil, you receive the wine of Spirit and you are not hurt by lack, by famine, by war, by the things of this world. You are immune to the law of karma. All of that is being revealed in these symbols of the Soul. And the fourth beast, the fourth horse, is this Death itself. He went out to conquer, conquering, and to conquer. What was he going to conquer? Who was he going to conquer? He taught there is only Light. Now what are you going to conquer? What is a do-gooder going to do if there is no evil out there to do good to?
God is the Father of every individual on this earth, of every beast of the field. God is the Father of all that is living. Now the moment we turn around and deny the Fatherhood of God for any individual on this earth, we have stepped off the white horse. And if God is not your Father in my Consciousness, then that judgment which I measure out to you, is meted back unto me. The moment I have found a place where God is not, I am on one of the other three horses and I will experience war, famine, or death. Unto the least of these, my brethren.
I must see that God is the Father of All. And why is God the Father of All? Because the only Son of God is the Infinite Christ that walks the earth now. I perpetuate my own suffering; I condemn me, not you.
Books by Bill Skiles (Author of Steps To Mystical Experience)
And as you condemn another, you are condemning yourself, literally. You are breaking yourself right out of the circle of Christ. And of course, the Lamb, which is the Christ of you, you are again slaying, crucifying as of old as everyone in the world has been doing every day until the moment of realization, that the Father within me is the very Christ of my own being. Now when the purification takes foot, takes a hold within you, you realize why it was necessary to walk in the identity of Spirit, in the acceptance that perfection is Omnipresent, that love is Omnipresent, that beauty and harmony are Omnipresent, that Grace is Omnipresent, because only now do you realize that you are receiving and accepting the impartations from those who have gone before you into a higher state of Consciousness.
Only now do you begin to be aware that a force has been exerted to synchronize the Invisible kingdom with the visible. The overflowing of that Invisible kingdom on earth into your Consciousness is the receiving of the Word of the angels; of those souls that have departed into a higher state of Consciousness whom John now describes as ever working to lift us into their kingdom on earth. And this is the beginning of the fifth seal then. Dying to personal will. Dying to personal ambition.
Dying to personal desire. Becoming one with the Will of the Father, they were slain. They entered the state of transition. They died to the false sense of self and were born of the Spirit and made their transition walking through the experience of death without being touched. And they in the higher Consciousness of those who are now, beheld by John as the souls at the altar.
They want to know why there is still hate and violence and war and famine and death on this earth. If they died to their personal selfhood, why?
