A White Stone               By Sandy Jones

Revelation 2:17

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

What is this hidden manna and what is the white stone?

In ancient days the white stone signified acquittal by a jury, as over against a black stone that pointed to the guilt of the defendant.

"Not guilty"--- That is the Truth. We are not guilty by virtue of the fact that God is not guilty and God is All that is going Here.

We cannot know our guiltlessness until we know who we really are. That is the white stone with our new name on it.

Do we have to repent, return to God in order to be given the white stone? Yes, yes we do. We have to turn around and acknowledge God as The Highest. We have to let go and let God be God and we must stop trying to usurp His Power and His Light.

We have to realize our Real Identity as the Child of God and Trust in God in all things and in all ways.

God is All, that is true---However, we must Live It and Know It, and that takes the sacrifice of the 'belief' that matter has power over God, and the belief that there is some one or something that is separate and apart from God and that 'entity' is guilty and needs to be fixed, changed, helped, altered, saved, made better in some way.

The Real Self of us is The Child of God and This One needs for naught; It is fulfilled, complete, whole, liberated and free and this Holy Child I am is given the verdict and stands already "not guilty"! There is nothing real that is real, other than God. We must be willing to let go the "old illusion" of a person apart from God that thinks it is superior to God or knows better than God. God and God's Presence as Awareness needs nothing more than to see your heart your soul your spirit return to God---Like the Prodigal Son. God will set a feast for you.

Turn around and be lifted up in the faith of God's Love .

God is Life, right here, right now, immediate, immanate; Life is Awareness and This Awareness right here, and this sense of being belongs to God, while it is also being my identity---This makes me the Child of God---Just as it does you.

This is Who I Am.

God and me are joined together in Eternal Life. I and my Father are One and My Father is Greater than I. That says it all, perfectly. My me is God's and no other me do I see--- I trust God and no other. God is The One and Only Ego I ever can be. There is only one Ego-Awareness, Identity Here and It is God Alone, Single, All and Only and in the recognition of this I am given the white stone.

The Savior is the Child I Am, the Messiah is Here within me and the second coming of Christ happens when we "look again" and see for the third time, that the Savoir is not 'out there' but is Already Here As the Child I Am. And we accept Christ as redeemer and come Home. It is true, through the Christ Child I am redeemed.

You are given a new name written on a white stone; you know who you really are. You know. You are protected and exalted because of your divine name, your divine DNA.

The white stone is also known to be the ticket for admisson or a token of membership. Now you are among those who are 'let in' to Secret Place. We are given permission to enter the bridal chamber.

Eating of the hidden manna because we are embued and abiding in Heaven while here on earth--we are being fed the continuing Grace of God as Love and Light pour into your life.

----"in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." Meaning this relationship is between you and God alone; only God knows your new name because this 'realization' of God's Allness comes to you from deep within you, intimate, personal, individual, one to one, heart to heart, in the sacred Love that is only between you and God.

Now we are clothed in fine linen, bright and pure and the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints as those who recognize they are Children of God.

We live the Divine Equation; Give to God what is God's, giving any spiritual insights we might be able to share with others who also long to come Home--- And giving to Caesar what is Caesar's by taking care of our world and others in the necessary material ways.
