Countdown to the 12th INSIGHT:
The Hour of Decision


http://www.thetwelfthinsight.com/

The whole world is discovering that all mankind is one and that the unity of man is real – not just an abstract idea.

Walter Russell (1871–1963) was an American polymath, known for his achievements in painting, sculpture, architecture, and for his unified theory in physics and cosmogony.
"...I always looked for the Cause behind things and didn't fritter away my time analyzing Effect. All knowledge exists as Cause. It is simple. It is limited to Light of Mind and the electric wave of motion which records God's thinking in matter."

"cosmic consciousness": the vivid sense of the universe as a living presence

Richard Maurice Bucke (1837 –1902), often called Maurice Bucke, was an important Canadian progressive psychiatrist in the late nineteenth century. An adventurer in his youth, he went on to study medicine, practice psychiatry in Ontario, and befriend a number of noted men of letters in Canada, the U.S., and England. In addition to writing and delivering professional papers, Bucke wrote three book-length studies: Man's Moral Nature, Walt Whitman, and – his best known work – Cosmic Consciousness, a classic in the modern study of mystical experience.

“There is Good for me and I ought to have it.”

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth."
Did you reject it as absurdity when you first heard it spoken that visible material objects have, indeed, no reality as matter, but that as spirit is omnipresent their only substance is spirit, and therefore there is no matter? But now you begin to understand it, do you not? This is Christ risen again in you, the hope of glory. Your hope begins to be quickened, does it not? You have an indefinable expectation of something good coming to you from seeing the point, do you not? This expectation will not fail you. Truth never fails to bring something good to the one who recognizes her. Christ is Truth. Did you feel exceeding indignation when the metaphysicians not only insisted upon the unreality of matter, but also declared that all evil performances are only a delusion of the mind?
If you put the idea away and refused positively to entertain it, or consider it at all, then you rolled the stone of unbelief against the place where you hid the idea in your mind.
But the mind is very mysteriously retentive where a truth is concerned. Some day you will find that that idea is as clear as crystal to you. It rises smiling and loving and living as ever. There is not a truth you have ever heard spoken but what it is now milling within you and preparing to appear to you again. This is the nature of Truth. Then there are more intense statements of Truth than that evil is a delusion and matter is non est.
Rev. Michael Terranova

All of Emma Curtis Hopkins’s teachings are presented in 12 chapters, or lessons. Her first six lessons always deal with the human personality or ego. The last six lessons always deal with expressing in the world. The first chapter is always “the thing itself,” or God as all there is. The second chapter has to do with denying anything that is not the Truth of God. The third is affirming the Truth. Each succeeding chapter expands on the Truth that God is all. Her progression in the lessons is designed to have us train our personal mind to be the one with the universal Mind of God. http://www.wisewomanpress.com/about_emma.htm Why I was drawn to her after studying ACIM and noticing the similarities.

"Acres of Diamonds"

Russell Herman Conwell (1843 –1925) was an American Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer.

He is best remembered as the founder and first president of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and for his inspirational lecture Acres of Diamonds. "Acres of Diamonds" originated as a speech which Conwell delivered over 6,000 times around the world. It was first published in 1890 by the John Y. Huber Company of Philadelphia.

The theme is developed by an introductory anecdote, told to Conwell by an Arab guide, about a man who wanted to find diamonds so badly that he sold his property and went off in futile search for them; the new owner of his home discovered that a rich diamond mine was located right there on the property.

Conwell elaborated on the theme through examples of success, genius, service, or other virtues involving ordinary Americans contemporary to his audience: "dig in your own back-yard!".

"You can change your life by altering your thoughts."

Eric Butterworth (1916-2003)
Popular "Unity" Minister, Author, Philosopher and Lecturer

He had the unique ability to simplify the most complex metaphysical teachings in simple terms of awareness. He was described as "The twentieth century Emerson."

"Go within in a time of silence and get a renewed awareness of God as your resource, and then go about your business affairs in the strong consciousness of the omnipresence of substance."
Born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1916, Eric attended Fresno State University and Capital University in Ohio, where he studied music. He began training for the ministry at Unity Village in Missouri during WWII. He left to join the army and as a lieutenant in the Medical Corps, trained medical personnel and also served as chaplain and counselor. After the war, he returned to his ministerial studies and graduated from Unity Ministerial School.
"Real life isn't made up of great success and great failure, but of an infinite number of levels of living in between. And true greatness depends more on inner overcomings than on outer achievements."
A scholar and educator, Eric established three powerful Unity ministries. Pittsburgh, Detroit and New York City.
"So, no matter what the difficulty, the loss, the financial adversity, if you are feeling negative, get busy pearling. By the "all things work together for good" principle, any experience of life can become the best thing that ever happened to you."
He wrote the book “Discover the Power Within You”. Eric Butterworth taught that God isn't "up there. He exists inside each one of us, and it's up to us to seek the divine within."
"When you begin to understand this life principle, you will know that there is a wellspring of life, substance, and intelligence within you, and that yours is the privilege at any time of giving way to its flow. This may lead to one of the most important realizations that will ever come to you: If ever there is a lack of any kind, whether it is a need for employment, or for money, or for guidance, or even for healing, something is blocking the flow. And the most effective remedy: Give!"

Autocoder

Went to the TechVibe Recruitment Event at the Waterloo Inn last night. Met knew people and someone I've talked to over the phone but never actually met. It was a nice event. I hope they have more of them.

I was reminded of an assignment years ago. I was working for a consulting firm and got an assignment at an insurance company to re-write a report program in PL1 that had been written in Autocoder. Of course I was their second choice. It seems the 1st choice walked in Monday, looked at the Autocoder manual and left. I went in Tuesday. Actually it was a subprogram called from another module.
There was a little concern as to whether I could do it, which was understandable considering the events from the previous day.




I read the manual, started falling asleep and asked for copies of the reports showing the control breaks. One Team Leader gave me two reports of about 500 pages to browse. The other gave me 4 pages. (She’s the one that became Project Manager when everyone jumped ship).
I verified the control breaks by the headings printed from Autocoder and checked the input file. It was sorted so it was merely writing a report and keeping track of totals. I had to run the missing report on my own but it was easy. So I coded it, tested it, tweaked the report format and implemented.

A few weeks later I got a call. The report wasn’t producing any output. So I went back. I checked the input files , yes there’s input. But no output. Well, after lunch I ran it again and there was output. Why, I didn’t know. The project leader wasn’t impressed. But since I had a few hours she asked me to help a co-op student. So I did. He’d inherited something and showed me what he was doing. I offered a few suggestions about corrections and asked for his specs. They were 1. Save this are. 2. Do this. 3. Restore this area.



Now the thing was he did 1. He did 2. But 3 was missing. And guess who’s program was called after that which ran with no data when 3 wasn’t done.
I was laughing. The project leader was relieved. He went into sales.
