Havingness

Lewis S. Bostwick (1918-1995), Founder of BPI:

I want to talk a little bit about invalidation and havingness. The bounty of earth is great: but only a few people can have it. I find this an amazing phenomenon. One of the reasons for this lack of havingness is that men, under the guise of religion, created rules and regulations to stop people from gaining their awareness and ability to learn. You can’t learn freedom if the rules say you can’t dance, or you can’t talk with God (that’s reserved for holy men), or you can’t have an alcoholic drink. Being aware of God in His infinite creation of this planet, and all of the space in this planet, should make one aware that since we are made in His likeness, we should have all of what he created.

We should be able to use the abilities to have, to experience, to take, to leave and to move in and out of our families, our circle of friends, our educational institution and the government levels without fear of being invalidated. By the way, we become invalidated by those who take their rules out of a book. Invalidation through judgment—you blew it because you didn’t follow the rules—affects your soul personality in which lies real freedom. Bodies operate on emotion, hunger, fear, apathy, threat of death, threat of happiness, amusement and the highest level: enthusiasm. Now, from enthusiasm up to your beingness is where the invalidation takes place. Invalidation drives you out of your creative space.

When you allow the authority figure who goes by the book to drive you out, you become confused. You give up your seniority over your body. Then the bodies around you who are using the greater amount of energy begin to exercise control over you.

Isn’t it amazing that the “powers that be” never passed any laws against dying? As I am writing this, one of my good friends decided to change the game and offed the body. All of us psychics were in amusement, but not so her family. Because they are controlled by the book. And by punishment. The only punishment there is, is man-made on this planet. But there is none in the spirit world. So what I’m saying is that not until you gain your full awareness as a being, can you gain havingness in a body. To have and to be mobile in all situations without guilt and intimidation. Money, love, learning, and knowing one’s self gives spirit in a body mobility. And it cannot be overwhelmed with invalidation. These are the rules.
