But before I could have a private session with him, I attended the class he gave called, "Healing Outside of Time". Essentially it had to do with stepping outside of time during meditation to be able to let go of any problem, difficulty, or false belief you might be entertaining. During the class I had my eyes closed and I went deeply into the Silence of my Being. While sitting there, I suddenly felt lifted up above my physical body. I was on a higher plane, another level of Consciousness. The experience was intense. Thank goodness Herb called for a fifteen minute recess and when I went outside what I saw absolutely amazed me. In every direction I looked I saw and felt my own Infinite Presence, yet I also still felt my individual self. I looked at the ocean and felt myself in the ocean and the ocean in Me. I looked at the trees and felt myself in the trees and the trees in Me. I looked at the sky and could feel the sky within My Being and my being in the sky. Now I looked upon the people standing around me and I felt My face on theirs and their faces on mine. It was impossible to tell where they left off and I began. The hard lines were no longer there. I felt a Oneness with all Life. I suddenly knew without a shadow of a doubt, God Is, I AM, God Is. The next day I met with Herb and we talked for quite a while about the experience and the principles behind it. Soon after that, I flew to Hawaii and spent some time at his home. Over the years we had many phone conversations, many meditations, more classes and much correspondence. Herb Fitch represents what can be attained when we give up all belief in personal sense; he is one of the most advanced Mystics the world has ever known. His love and dedication for helping us to step into the Kingdom here and now are unparalleled. His understanding of scripture through revelation is phenomenal. He still works behind the scenes in the Invisible for all of us, this I know. This book contains the precise instructions on how to commit spiritual suicide, that is, how to die daily to a belief in a selfhood apart from God and to awaken into the finished Kingdom in our midst. When Joel wrote 'The Thunder of Silence', he said that people would not be able to understand its Truth for years to come. Before you now is the interpretation given to Herb so that we might all 'see'. Blessings to you who sell all that you have and purchase this 'pearl of great price'.

We must do this, by beginning our study of “The Thunder Of Silence”, with the realization that is quite unique, different than any book we have ever begun, different than any thing we have ever said or thought at the beginning of a series. We’re going to start with the knowledge, that what we are doing on this earth now, should be the first resurrection, that is our purpose here, we are here to reveal that which is invisible to the sense of man, we are here to find a way, in which we may unite our will, with the will of the Father, so that there is one will with substance, with essence, a will that can walk forward in the divine light, bringing into visibility that which surrounds us, unknown to the mind of man. And so for the year 1970 we have a challenge facing us, which we propose to accept and that challenge is this, in this year we hope to join, with those of you who are ready, capable, willing, committed to take dominion over form. That is the challenge we set for this year, and remembering the two thieves on the cross, one on each side of the Christ, we know that to take dominion over form involves taking dominion over mind, so that we must conquer, the individual mind of man, and that world mind which is the individual mind of man. If we learn to conquer mind, we conquer form, and in the overcoming of both mind and form we take dominion over the world that is not the Fathers kingdom. This may seem to be an ambitious project, but it's really what we all have been trying to do, and now in the first resurrection we are building that body called the Christ body, the body which knows no second death. The body which at the time of the second death continues to live, continues to express all that is of God. No longer is this something we think of as in the far future, no longer are we going to have a God in the sky, but rather we are going to find the God who is on the earth, the God who is present, the God who is alive, the God who is doing all things now and here, and learn to live in that God, bearing witness to what that God is doing, where we stand. And for this we need the silence, for the silence is the womb where truth is born, the silence is the place where we learn to subjugate our human sense of will, our human sense of desire, our human sense of direction and say, “Father speak,” tell me what you had in mind before the foundations of the world. Not what I will, not what I seek, not what I want, but show me reality,” and in this silence, it is our function to express that which is called the finished kingdom. There is a place in your consciousness, where your will walks away from God and as you do that you enter a state of separation, in that separation unconsciously seeking the very thing you have left behind you, and then spending all your time reaching out to find it. This we all know, what we may not realize is this: At this very instance we are dying, each of us, we die every minute, I don’t mean die daily in a sense that we should die to the flesh, I mean that we literally are dying daily even though we don’t want to. Every instant becomes a yesterday and we give each instant into the past, finally there’s no more, all of those instances that we have given away into the past mount up and become, the final death. 6 Return Herb Fitch - 1974 Thunder Of Silence Series We’re going to learn how to stop dying, literally, how not to die, how to live and how to live beyond the grave. We’re going to learn about a place where there is no infirmity, no sin, no lack, no bad health, no sorrow, no hate. We’re going to find that place if we are dedicated to one word, Truth. And in that dedication, we have one great ally and that is our true self, the spirit of God which is our substance is the only ally we have, and we find, that the distinction we have between living and dying, the distinction between the truth and the lie between light and darkness, between law and Grace, between reality and unreality are all part of the fiber of this book, The Thunder Of Silence.
