Mediums and Mediators (Ch. 14 of 'The Impersonal Life')

The Impersonal Life, Chapter XIV
MEDIUMS AND MEDIATORS

From the book, with my response:
....

Know likewise that I provide all minds with all their experiences of life, which I utilize solely to prepare the body, quicken the heart and develop the consciousness, so that they can comprehend Me, and so that  I can express through them My Idea.

{Whether O.B. has ideas or not, that is the question. Does the One Being of pure consciousness at the core of everything have ideas? Or, is O.B. primarily the activator and energizer of Nature — whose job is to design for the expansion and sustainability (homeostasis) of the multiverse, the vehicle of O.B.'s self-expression — and has ideas?}

....

Many of those whose minds I thus inspire with glimpses of Me and My Idea I cause to become teachers and leaders, organizing churches and societies and cults, drawing seekers and followers to them, that I, through the words I thus speak through them, can quicken the hearts and consciousness of those that are ready to recognize Me. 

I, the Impersonal One within, do all this, and the teachers and leaders personally do nothing, only serving as channels through which My Idea can express to the consciousness of those I draw to them for that purpose. 

For the mind is only a channel and the intellect an instrument, which I use Impersonally wherever and whenever necessary to express My Idea. Not until the heart has been quickened and has opened wide to contain Me can man, with his mortal mind and intellect, consciously comprehend My Meaning, when I express through him My Idea.

{Again this feels to me more a function of Nature's design, with all its laws and forces and mysteries — which serves O.B., the eternal fountain. But maybe they're in cahoots.}

....

Now, if you have had enough of teachings and teachers, and are sure that within you lies the Source of all Wisdom, these words will bring joy unspeakable to your heart. For do they not confirm that which you already have felt within to be true?

For you who cannot yet see this and still need a Mediator, I have provided the story of The Christ crucified for your redemption, picturing how I desire you to live  that, through the crucifixion of your personality, you may rise in consciousness to Oneness with Me. 

But to you who are strong enough to bear it, I say you need no mediator between you and Me, for we are One already. If you can but know it, you can come direct and at once to Me in consciousness....

To you who wonder how and why I say such beautiful and such spiritual things through personalities who fail to live up to the teachings they apparently of themselves give out, I say: 

I use all avenues Impersonally to express My Meaning.

{Amen, O.B.}

....

But whether I speak through Priest, Prophets or Messiah, or through a little child, or through your worst enemy, all words that appeal vitally to you are the word the I AM of You speaks through the organism of such medium to your Soul consciousness. 

{Organism as one focus, orgasm as another. The high frequency emissions of O.B. emanating itself are as a universal orgasm of Life.}}
