T – ake responsibility for your own actions, so that you never allow yourself to feel victimized by anything outside of yourself… “He who is loose and slack in his work is brother to him who is a destroyer and he who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide.” (Proverbs 18:9 – AMPC)

__________________________

R – elinquish the responsibility of trying to control everything… “Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” ― Steve Maraboli

_________________________

U – nderstand that you don’t have to understand everything that’s happening right now… “You don’t have to understand the world. You just have to find your own way around in it.” ― Albert Einstein

___________________________

S – ee the big picture at all times… “Nothing is coincidence in strategical perception.” ― Toba Beta

___________________________

T – alk up the good things that are happening… “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.” (Philippians 4:8 – The message)

_____________________________________

T – rust your instincts… “Don’t second guess yourself. You know the right answer and what’s best for you. Life is so much easier once you realize this.” ― Brittany Burgunder

___________________________________

H – ave confidence in your ability to figure it out when you need to… “You’ll eventually figure it all out, and everything will make perfect sense. Every experience will get you to where you are supposed to be. Every loss, every heartbreak, and every mistake. Don’t be afraid to mess up, and don’t expect success overnight. Get lost; get so damn lost and find yourself over and over again. Believe in yourself, forget about what other people think, and trust your journey.” ― Charlotte Freeman

___________________________

E – xpect the best to happen, no matter what it currently looks like… “For Abraham, human reason for hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So numberless shall your descendants be.” (Romans 4:18 – AMPC)

R – emain flexible and receptive to new ideas, and unexpected opportunities… “If you believe it will work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you believe it won’t, you will see obstacles.” ― Wayne W. Dyer

____________________________________

O – pen your heart without fear of failure or rejection… “Healing and a reunification with our unblemished Soul, occur by the hand of grace. There is nothing to integrate nor to understand. Wholeness was gifted to us at birth and is never truly taken away. The power of the present, prayerful moment- within the stillness of your open heart, will know when it is time. Open the heart and the Soul to the energy of miracles.” ― Ulonda Faye

_____________________________________

C – reate a mindset and lifestyle that allows for best-case scenario to happen… “Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears.” -Richard Wilkins

________________________________________

E – volve with the world around you by accepting change… “Blessed are the flexible, for change is inevitable. To fulfill our true destiny as spiritual beings we must trust in our divine power to adapt.” ― Anthon St. Maarten

_______________________________________

S – ay out loud what you want to happen, while at the same detaching from outcomes…(it sounds like a contradiction in terms, but the process unfolds in the space between those two concepts)… “If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.” (Daniel 3:17, 18 – Berean Bible)

I – “I can’t believe how you waver—how easily you have turned traitor to him who called you by the grace of Christ by embracing an alternative message! It is not a minor variation, you know; it is completely other, an alien message, a no-message, a lie about God. Those who are provoking this agitation among you are turning the Message of Christ on its head. Let me be blunt: If one of us—even if an angel from heaven!—were to preach something other than what we preached originally, let him be cursed. I said it once; I’ll say it again: If anyone, regardless of reputation or credentials, preaches something other than what you received originally, let him be cursed.” (Galatians 1:8, 9 – The Message)

VII – “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t handle them now. But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is.” (John 16:12 – The Message)

I – ‘In A beginning, created by the Alueim were the heavens and the earth. Yet the earth became a chaos and vacant, and darkness was on the surface of the submerged chaos. Yet the spirit of the Alueim IS VIBRATING over the surface of the water. And saying is the Alueim, “Become light!” And it is becoming light.’ (Genesis 1:1-3 – The Concordant Literal Old Testament)

II – “Within A beginning…there was the Logos (the Word; the Thought; the collection of thoughts; the Idea; the Reason; the discourse; the communication; the verbal expression)…. (John 1:1 – JMNT)

III – “That which is now already has been, and that which is to be already has been; and God seeks that which has passed by [so that history repeats itself].” (Ecclesiastes 3:15 – AMPC)

IV – “If the multiverse turns out to be the best explanation of the fundamental physical constants, it would not be the first time we have been flabbergasted by worlds beyond our noses. Our ancestors had to swallow the discovery of the Western Hemisphere, eight other planets, a hundred billion stars in our galaxy (many with planets), and a hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe. If reason contradicts intuition once again, so much the worse for intuition. Another advocate of the multiverse, Brian Greene, reminds us: “From a quaint, small, earth-centered universe to one filled with billions of galaxies, the journey has been both thrilling and humbling. We’ve been compelled to relinquish sacred belief in our own centrality, but with such cosmic demotion we’ve demonstrated the capacity of the human intellect to reach far beyond the confines of ordinary experience to reveal extraordinary truth.” ― Steven Pinker

V – #jimswilleyart “This is why I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer…whatever you decree…BELIEVE…accept the reality that it exists in another, unseen dimension, simply because you say it. Don’t suspend or delay belief until you see it manifested in the physical realm, because what is unseen is more real than what is seen. Be confident that your request is granted to you, and you will get it…your own irresistible faith will attract it to you.” (Mark 11:24 – Mark In The Now/Gospels In The Now)

Then the Word was Being directed toward God. And yet the Word was Being God)…” (John 1:1 – JMNT)

III(a) – “Each person that you see is their own unique universe, their own unique reality. Even though you all appear to be in the same room, on the same world, you’re not. You’re all in your own unique realities. You’re just matching one another’s frequencies sufficiently enough to create the illusion of all being on the same planet, but that’s not the case. It’s a shared consensus reality experience that you’re all giving rise to.” – Ryo

______________________________________

IV – “It’s like a human body is the animated reality of a parallel dimension, so where you see a body, you see a different dimension. We all are in the same space, sharing the same moment.. but we’re all perceiving a different world. We’re not all in the same world at all, we just share space thinking we are. We’re literally all in our own world.” – Matt Kahn

_______________________________________

VI – Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place!This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” (Genesis 28:10-12; 16, 17 – NIV)

________________________________________

VII – “Time and space are illusions. Everything exists at the same time. We only see what we are tuned to the vibration of to see. As we change our ideas, we change our vibrations, we start to see a different world, literally. Because we have shifted our consciousness, our focus, to a different version of Earth that exists simultaneously with the version we were on a moment ago. And we are experiencing literally, bit by bit, whether fast or slow, a progression through different versions of Earth. So the change has to be made within the person. They may for a while still be able to see and observe the version of Earth that they are no longer really strongly connected to, but that will change over time. It’s not that the world they were on changes, it’s that what changes is their ability to still perceive that world as opposed to perceiving one that’s now more in alignment with the vibrational frequencies they have changed within themselves.” ― Darryl Anka

Bishop Jim Swilley teaches that breakthrough starts by acknowledging your current reality—“Here I am”—and meeting the Divine “I AM” on the holy ground beneath your feet. Using Exodus 3, he reframes the miracle of the burning bush as its persistence, urging us to attend to long-running signals in our lives. He widens God-language to the “I-AM-verse,” calls for discerning (“rightly dividing”) Scripture, interprets John 14:6 as a path mirrored in us rather than a weapon of exclusion, and invites “yes/and” faith that holds paradox (Acts 2) while speaking creative words over our world. The practice: identify your ongoing “burning bush,” honor your present as sacred, and move forward in blessedness even in the presence of enemies (Ps 23; Deut 28).

“Here I am” → Meet the “I AM” on holy ground (right where you are). Jim teaches that transformation begins by acknowledging your current reality (“Here I am”) and recognizing the Divine Presence (“I AM”) right there. Contentment and awareness precede change; you don’t wait for the desert to change—you realize the ground under your feet is holy now. (Ex 3:1–6, 14–15)

The Burning Bush’s miracle was continuance, not combustion. Brush fires in the ancient Near East were common; what drew Moses was that the bush kept burning. Likewise, pay attention to the issues or signals that persist in your life—they may be your “burning bush” calling you to a new path. (Ex 3:2–4)

Take off your sandals: recognize holiness in your present place. “Holy ground” was the same spot Moses had stood many times. Jim applies this: stop postponing life for a different season/location; claim sacredness in the present. (Ex 3:5)

From “the universe” to the “I-AM-verse.” God self-identifies as “I AM”—a reality larger than any label or image. Jim’s language widens the frame: the Divine is bigger than a single tradition or depiction. (Ex 3:14–15; Elohim/plural nuance; Gen 1:1 “in a beginning”)

Rightly divide the Word (crab-legs metaphor). Scripture is inspired yet humanly written; it requires discernment. Not every ancient instruction carries the same weight; learn to “crack the shell” and get to the meat. (2 Tim 2:15 implied; discussion of Mosaic laws/abominations)

Jesus as Way = a mirrored path, not a narrow gatekeeping slogan. John 14:6, in Jim’s reading (incl. Mirror paraphrase), means Jesus’ I-AM way is mirrored in us: we too must walk the surrendered path that reveals the Father—not weaponize the verse to exclude others. (Jn 14:6; Mirror paraphrase)

Inclusion over exclusion. If someone isn’t “against us, they’re for us.” Jim affirms namaste-style mutual honor of the sacred in one another and notes proliferating denominations as proof that absolutism divides. (Mk 9:38–40; cultural “namaste” reference; mention of many denominations) Paradox is part of faith (“yes/and,” not “either/or”). Peter says Jesus’ death was both a human wrong and within God’s plan. Hold tensions. The sweet spot for change lives between desperate striving and apathy—faith and patience inherit promises. (Acts 2:23/3:15; Heb 6:12)

Speak to your world. “The world is at your command” (Beatles lyric sparks the point): words carry creative force. Jim shares simple testimonies (commanding a phone transfer to work; others speaking to pain) to model practical, faith-filled speech. (Ps 33:6; Prov 18:21 implied; Beatles “Nowhere Man” lyric)

On hell & alternate realities. Jim refuses fruitless fights; if someone’s reality needs a literal hell to live rightly, he lets them have it—while he chooses a different reality. (His “multiverse/I-AM-verse” lens.)

Blessing in the presence of enemies. Expect goodness in the struggle, not only after it ends: table set before enemies; live blessed coming/going while the bush still burns. (Ps 23:5; Deut 28:1–14)

Identify your long-running “burning bush,” stare into it without denial, say “Here I am,” and honor your present ground as holy. Then move from that consciousness.

Scriptures & Sources

Exodus 3:1–6, 13–15 — Burning bush; “I AM”; holy ground.

Genesis 1:1 (Hebrew nuance) — “In a beginning.”

Psalm 19:1 — “The heavens declare the glory of God.”

John 14:1–6 — “I am the way…” (with Mirror paraphrase emphasis).

Mark 9:38–40 — “If he is not against us, he is for us.”

Acts 2:23; 3:15 — You killed Jesus / according to God’s plan (paradox).

Daniel 3:17–18 — “Even if He doesn’t…” (faith’s “yes/and”).

Hebrews 6:12; 11:6 — Faith & patience; “must believe that He is.”

Deuteronomy 28:3–13 — Blessings (head, not tail, etc.).

Psalm 23:5 — Table in the presence of enemies.

Romans 4:17 (implied) — “Call those things which be not…”

Hymn: How Great Thou Art (“I see the stars…”) as extra-biblical wonder.

Cultural refs: “Namaste” (honoring the sacred in the other); Beatles “Nowhere Man” lyric (“the world is at your command”).

I – ‘In A beginning, created by the Alueim were the heavens and the earth. Yet the earth became a chaos and vacant, and darkness was on the surface of the submerged chaos. Yet the spirit of the Alueim IS VIBRATING over the surface of the water. And saying is the Alueim, “Become light!” And it is becoming light.’ (Genesis 1:1-3 – The Concordant Literal Old Testament)

______________________________

II – Trust the Word that is written on your heart today…”In A beginning, God (Elohim) created”…(Genesis 1:1)…”In A beginning was the Word…” (John 1:1)…”Within A beginning…there was the Logos (the Word; the Thought; the collection of thoughts; the Idea; the Reason; the discourse; the communication; the verbal expression). And the Logos (the idea; the thought; the expression; the Word) was facing, [directed, and moving] toward, (or: continued being face to face with) God. And the Logos (the Word; the thought; the idea; the reason; the expression) continued being God…(or: In beginning, the collected and put side by side Thoughts continued in progressive existence, and the collected and put side by side Thoughts continued being a progression to God)…(or: In beginning, the Word continued Being. Then the Word was Being directed toward God. And yet the Word was Being God)…” (John 1:1 – JMNT)…Observe these very telling and descriptive words and phrases implied from the original language in this famous passage about the “Word” which became flesh…”the Thought”, “the collection of thoughts”, “the Idea”, “the Reason”, “the discourse”, “the communication”, “the verbal expression”, “the continued existence of the Idea”, etc…whatever that “Word” was that John’s Gospel was trying to describe in human language existed long before there was any concept of a collection of books that we now call The Bible…In A beginning, the “Theo-logic” that was defined as the Thought/Reason/Idea/Logic/Willed Action existed, and eventually became a person in the physical dimension for approximately 33 revolutions around the sun, who then declared that “He” had to go away, so that another Helper could come who would lead us into all Truth…not into a collection of books written by 40 Jewish authors over a span of 1,500 hundred years, but into ALL TRUTH…The Bible contains it and connects to it, but is not by any means ALL of it…the Word became a human being, not a library of books, and then that person said that He had to go, so that Something/Someone else could come…”man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that PROCEEDS (present-tense) out of the mouth of God”…That person was called “The Firstborn among MANY brethren…”…Embrace your I Am-ness today, and trust the eternal Word written on your timeless heart…you are the Word made flesh, too…don’t waste a minute in regret over the past, or anxiety about the future, or misperceptions about yourself…shake off whatever happened yesterday or last night that is creating a spirit of heaviness, and recognize that you are already seated in heavenly places, JUST AS YOU ARE…anything else is a smokescreen…the real you is what is real and eternal and holy, and the Word you know is forever settled in heaven…the spirit of the Aluem IS VIBRATING, and creation continues…You don’t have to “get in the NOW”… YOU’RE ALREADY THERE… #JESmeditations

I – ‘In A beginning, created by the Alueim were the heavens and the earth. Yet the earth became a chaos and vacant, and darkness was on the surface of the submerged chaos. Yet the spirit of the Alueim IS VIBRATING over the surface of the water. And saying is the Alueim, “Become light!” And it is becoming light.’ (Genesis 1:1-3 – The Concordant Literal Old Testament)

______________________________  II – Raise your vibration today…it’s never too late for a new beginning…The Spirit “IS VIBRATING over the submerged chaos”…”is”, not “was”…creation is still in progress (“In A beginning”, not “In THE beginning”)…the relationship between the Holy Spirit and quantum physics is a topic explored in both religious and scientific contexts, often leading to discussions about the nature of reality, consciousness, and the connection between the spiritual and material realms…some interpretations suggest that the Spirit’s role in creation, as described in religious texts, resonates with the foundational principles and phenomena observed in quantum physics, such as the interconnectedness of particles, and the role of observation in defining reality…some interpretations of Genesis 1:1 suggest that the Hebrew phrase “b’reshit” is better translated as “in A beginning” rather than “in THE beginning,” implying a broader concept of beginnings…this interpretation suggests the possibility of other beginnings before or after the one described in Genesis…some interpretations of the biblical creation story, particularly Genesis 1:2, where the Spirit of God moves upon the waters, are seen as analogous to the “shaking” or “fluttering” energy fields observed in quantum physics…concepts like quantum entanglement (where particles are linked regardless of distance), and the idea that particles exist in a superposition of states until observed (as in the double-slit experiment) are sometimes used to draw parallels to spiritual concepts like interconnectedness, Divine Presence, and the nature of consciousness…some theologians and scientists have explored whether the concept of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit can be understood through the lens of quantum mechanics, particularly the idea of something being “one and many at the same time”…the role of the observer in quantum mechanics, where observation can affect the state of a particle, is sometimes linked to the idea of human consciousness, and its potential influence on reality, drawing parallels with spiritual practices focused on intention and belief… #JESmeditations

_________________________

III – “In THE beginning” and “In A beginning” are both valid phrases, but they have different nuances…”In THE beginning” typically refers to the start of a specific, known period or event, often implying a contrast with a later state…”In A beginning” is more general, suggesting the start of any event or story, and can sometimes imply a more open-ended or multiple possibilities for beginnings…the often-quoted, much-misunderstood words of Jesus, “I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life” is better translated, (in my opinion) this way: “Jesus said, ‘My I am-ness mirrored in you is your way, this is your truth and also your life! Every single person can now come face to face with the Father entirely because of my doing.'” (John 14:6 – The Mirror Translation)…when you focus obsessively on the “THE” of it all, you miss the context of what He was actually saying…words matter…”…the written text brings death, but the Spirit gives life.” #JESmeditations

IV – “In A beginning” is perhaps a more accurate translation than the more familiar “In THE beginning”…it really opens up a lot to think about, especially when exploring the concepts of multiple realities (what some call “the multi-verse”), and the embracing of “Yes, and…”, instead of “Either, or…”…the best part of this Hebrew translation, however, is, in my opinion: “Yet the spirit of the Alueim is vibrating over the surface of the water…” …the Spirit IS vibrating!…not “was” vibrating…IS, IS, IS…now…present tense!…God is in the now…The Creator’s Universe is still expanding (still being created) faster than the speed of light…what if you’ve had and exercised the dominion that God (Elohim or “Alueim”) talks about in Genesis 1:26, 27 all along?…what if you’ve been calling the shots in life, and getting what you really, deeply wanted (or thought you deserved) more than you’ve realized, or can even admit to yourself?…what if the same Spirit that vibrated over the surface of the water in Creation is still vibrating over your spirit and your thoughts and your words and your intentions? #JESmeditations

I “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” (Genesis 1:1-3 – NKJV)

II – ‘In A beginning, created by the Alueim were the heavens and the earth. Yet the earth became a chaos and vacant, and darkness was on the surface of the submerged chaos. Yet the spirit of the Alueim IS VIBRATING over the surface of the water. And saying is the Alueim, “Become light!” And it is becoming light.’ (Genesis 1:1-3 – The Concordant Literal Old Testament)

III – “The subject of quantum physics is identifying the smallest parts of an entity and understanding its nature and its part in the whole of existence. In every case we come to the understanding that there is no objective world that we perceive, except for the conceptions inside of our minds. We are all collectively dreaming together the empirical realm. We collectively hold the fundamental energies in the frequencies of the electromagnetic wave patterns that we perceive. The quality of our experience is created in our consciousness.” ― Kenneth Schmitt

IV – “When faced with contrast, take nothing personally and don’t try to defend yourself. Defending one’s self is a vibrational relative of guilt. People will think what they like; do not feed fuel to the fire by reacting. Simply ask questions for clarity and in response say ‘Is that so?’ Take responsibility for the energy you brought to the situation, acknowledge the illusions without attachment, and move forward. Other people’s opinions are none of your business. Remember that each person is on their own unique path, and the mirror of contrast you hold up to them may be exactly what is necessary for their conscious growth at that time.” ― Alaric Hutchinson

V – “Everything That Is, is the result of vibration. And if you don’t like the result, change the vibration, that’s all! ‘How do I change a vibration?’ Think differently. ‘Well, how do I think differently? That’s the way I’ve always thought.’ Well, start paying attention to how the thoughts feel instead of the content of the thought.” ― Abraham Hicks

VI – “You are already a VIP – a vibrational interference pattern. Your vibration is as specific and unique to you as your fingerprint.” ― Catherine Carrigan

VII – “Here is the true secret of the Law of Attraction: You have a core vibrational frequency. It is purely uniquely you. It’s a beacon. It’s like a lighthouse. It shines. It radiates purely that signature frequency of your unique being. It never stops radiating that light, that frequency, that energy – never stops. Everything that is in alignment with that frequency is doing its utmost to come to you. Everything that is not aligned with that frequency is doing its utmost to get as far away from you as it possibly can. If the things that are aligned with that beacon aren’t reaching you, it’s not because “you’re not vibrating at the resonance that you need to attract it”. It’s because your definitions and beliefs are holding it away. If the things that are trying to get away from you can’t get away from you, it’s not because they’re not trying – it’s because you’re holding onto them. So the true Secret of the Law of Attraction is not “how to learn to attract what you prefer”, it’s how to learn to let go of what you don’t, so that you can let in what is trying to get to you automatically – by definition. That’s the true Secret and that’s why it’s effortless. It’s just about letting go and letting in. It’s not about having to learn to do something you’re not already doing.” ― Bashar
