Dearly Beloved,

​

Today I would like to address why I go by the name Isaiah Kenney. Sometimes people ask “Who is Isaiah Kenney really? The Answer. Well, nobody really. Do you think you are? Who is the somebody?

 

The spiritual malady we are facing is “the person”, the false personality who thinks. A self who seems to have a personal history. The “me” and the “not me” who believes in autonomous entities in the process of becominh someone. That is the great illusion.  The collection of memories you call yourself. So again, who are you? Are you going to think about it? Can that answer the question of who you are? Do you believe you are the described or the formless, the named or nameless One? Are you a body?

 

If we are going to find out who and what we really are we are going to have to learn to put spiritual principles before personalities so the Light can shine away the darkness and free us. That is what the name Isaiah Kenney or  Yeshayahu, essentially means and is used for that purpose.

 

Kenny or Kenney is a name I know well. I grew up as Kenneth from New Jersey, USA. These days for convenience, legally, in some business circles, and in the company of those I grew up with I go by Kenny, Kenneth, or Ken Zimbleman.  They know me as a “person” who thinks separate from them, a white man who works as a Solutions Engineer/Architect, Sales Coach, Financial Assets Trader, and Spiritualist who lives in the Philadelphia area. I don’t want you to make the same mistake! 

 

Always remember, "as you see me you see yourself. As you treat me, you will treat yourself. As you think about me, you will think about yourself." This is the Golden Rule.

 

All those labels attach to a body and any others which includes Christian Mystic, Sufi, or Vedantist have nothing to do with who or what I truly am. They simply speak to roles I have played and versions of the Universal Curriculum I teach certain people in langue they can understand. Labels and divisions have absolutely nothing do with my identity, nor does the name Isaiah Kenney. All words are merely pointers at best to what I truly am which includes angel, soul, light, or christ-child

 

I discovered something many years ago. A mentally conditioned entity, a parasite that was thinking for me and caught in the process of trying to become someone, was running my life and I thought I was a body and so where you. I had no idea I was possessed by self-centered thought to the extent I was, always busy trying to achieve or win something from this world. Always thinking about myself or someone else who wasn't Kenny, so Kenny had to be real, right? Wrong!

 

I was on the road to Damascus, in self-ruin when I asked for help and Jesus confronted me in all my grievances and hatred for the Now who is Self. By the Grace of God, in a Holy Instant, I had a profound insight in which “right living” meant uncompromising honesty and dying to that conditioning, no longer wanting to become anything and live identified as any sect, difference, or as a body form. I learned I was longer a man but I had male body. I was no longer an American, nor was it my home, but lived there. I saw the war in mind between democrat and republican, Christian and Islam. I went beyond gender to one Self who identity we share.

 

A powerful purple Light flooded my mind covering the whole field of experience in which I felt a deep fear. This beautiful Light wiped away a big chunk of the synapse structure in brain, a memory self-called  Kenny. Felling renewed many mystical events took place as kundalin arose in me and a Spiritual Eye unknown by many if the world awoke. Several months later I saw a Holy Perception of my Self.  A Halo of Golden Light surrounded the heads and body of those around me, the Face of Christ. Thy Eye became Single and thy whole body became full of Light. In an instant I remembered I am one Self with a shared Mind of formless Immortal Light.

 

For those of you who think Isaiah Kenney is my new alter or spiritual ego, stop thinking. It is a healing principle that dissolves them and ensures that a person's name, "Isaiah Kenney" or “Kenneth Zimbleman”, is nothing more than teaching aid used for and by minds that are caught in a private mind and out of harmonious Governance. Minds that are trying to be somebody and lost in descriptions having forgotten their native language of silence, theirs soul, and our Self.

 

The name Isaiah Kenney doesn’t point to a human face except for practical purposes, or to someone seemingly special. Specialness that excludes is the problem. Instead, it points a willingness to hear the quite Voice of the Holy Spirit and to do what is required of a seeker to accept His gift of Christ or Illumination Vision to achieve the Golden State, see the Face of Christ, and remember God whom is your Self.

 

To accept the goal of this Holy Perception as your top priority and learn of it through miracle forgiveness of  God is in the message of Isaiah Kenney.  A miracle shift of identity from self to Self sameness, from body identification to soul identification, from density to Light, and with a willingness to make Christ Vision constant and see the Christ’s Face reflected in everyone as perfect innocence and peace. A Love that looks on it’s Self as the Knower and Known, the Lover and Beloved.  This is a message of harmony, beauty, and liberty given to me from the Sufi's and Order of Melchizedek, the High Priest of Jesus Christ, the Atonement, whom overseas all versions the Universal Curriculum.

 

As part of my own journey into Christian & Sufi Mysticism, as a Melchizedek priest, and as writer and spiritual teacher, I was given the name, Isaiah(Yeshayahu in Hebrew) Kenney, just like when Saul became Paul or when Jesus named many of his disciples. It's nothing abnormal for mystics of "the people of the book". It is an initiation name called “Sifat” by the Sufi, when the seeker becomes a teacher. Wha does one teach? You are not a body! This is the “baptism name” in mystical Christian tradition, which has nothing to do with water but being born again in Spirit. Spirit meaning to leave the “form identity” and renounce personhood. In Jewish mysticism it is called the “Shem Ha-Kodesh”, meaning the Holy Name, which we have been discussing is always pointer to our nameless name, of which Yeshua or Jesus name is no exception. Yeshua  translates to “Yahweh or God Saves” and  Yeshayahu, “Salvation is of God”.

The person who believed he had a separate mind named Kenneth Zimbleman with personal history and personal interest began to die that day when one’s mind illuminated in 2013 having found the Stillness, God.  You, “your name”, the person, doesn’t exist either. I you start dying now, the only thing we lose is the idea of loss itself.

 

The goal of the name is to be an aid to the teacher and his students in dissolving the false identity. The name reminds and points to the truth that we were never born, and so we cannot die. We have no personal history of which to define ourselves and no separate identity or intelligence to call our own. I was created just like everyone was, as if I have always existed and always will. What a miracle of God the soul is!

 

The only difference between me and you is, I started waking up from dream of separation, fully believing I was body, and discovered another world beyond the physical where angels fly.  I am not kidding. That is who and what you really are. The “good news” is you can know too! I would love to show you how! You may not have to take on a teaching name but you will have to give up “the me” and “not me”.

 

I would like to offer you my name as teaching aide as long as we work together. Isaiah Kenney conveys various spiritual principles and themes that will aide your own healing process and as a pointer to our true shared nature, if you are willing to use it. A nature that has no “form identity" devoid of all labels, opposites, divisions, and is essentially nameless in this shared identity of Christ or one Self.  A name that can never really be spoken because it can only be understood in the language of heaven, which is Silence, as immeasurable as the Light of our Being.

 

As Isaiah means “Salvation is of God”. That means you have to get you out of the way so God can do His job, not you. We have to learn we can’t fix ourselves. We can only let Truth correct and instruct us. You can’t fix self-centered thought with self-centered thought. Which means you have to stop running your own life. You have stop allowing the past, you illusion of mature judgment to guide your present course. Believing your prized intellectual prowess of self-development is going to make you secure is nothing more than false pride. You are lying to yourself. It’s vanity isn’t it?  As long as you live from your “name”, the person, choosing this or that, trying to select or judge believing you can know the outcome of anything that will make happy, you will suffer. This is where the meaning of Kenney is useful.

 

Kenney means honesty in Gaelic. Place this principle before your personality.  We have to be honest that we can’t be the judge of anything at all. We must learn to let go of judgement, which is what honesty is. The truly honest know they have no need of it. Their minds are Silent allowing the Stillness or God to Think through them, for them, and as them. This is how it saves them by liberating them from the idea of choice and personal interest, which is conflict or a divided mind.

 

Isaiah Kenney is a call to the Truth of the Now and Stillness. “To be Still, and know I am God”. Psalm 46:10. That I am the Now behind the forms who is my Self. It is the Silence and Stillness in the Now that frees our minds. One could also say Salvation is of Silence, is of Awareness. Honestly teaches us there is no other way out!  Whenever Kenney comes to mind stop for moment and allow a moment of Silence, a shift in perception into Stillness free of judgement rooted in the Now. That is what forgiveness lives. That is what Isaiah Kenney stand for.  A miracle in which we find our shared identity as one Self. I will meet you there. My name is yours.

 

This is where one goes for Strength. Is it where you for strength? Do you go to Silence or your conditioned intellect?  Do you pick up the phone and call mom or dad? A therapist or friend? Do you franticly worry and search your busy mind for a solution to "yourself"? I’m saying  not to call others. I’m asking you to get honest about what you believe is going to save you. If you want to save yourself, you must find your Self, because only your silent Self can save you.  Look how close God is to you. Your problems and their Solution were never separate and never will be.

 

 A question one should ask themselves is, “Is this all this true for me?”.  Can we agree we can’t solve our problem unless we are Aware we have one. Where is Awareness? What is Awareness? We may overlook the problem unless we take just a moment to be silent and listen, or better listen to the Voice of Silence and rest as Awareness as your Self, not the body-mind. Otherwise, we are caught listening to another voice, the noisy thoughts of the egoic mind that keep us up at night afraid to die. Thoughts that have us completely identified as this body who's name is yourself. A tyrannical voice that states the problem is always somewhere out there in the world where the solutions are. Am I right?  

​​

Perhaps it’s true that Silences answers all questions about life. Should it be placed before all else  you will find out the Answer to that question. If you stand in Silence and as Awareness as your Self, you will discover the ancient truth and know, that those who know the Silence know the Lord. A Lord who discloses all things to us in the quiet of our hearts making all things possible. And You will discover His gift of Christ Vision and your heart will fly again in heavenly realms.

​

For those of you who are interested in knowing more about how these names came about over the course of mystic journey I will be writing a separate letter. Taking on a new name is not always an easy process. It can be filled with guilt and shame of the opinions of others who are attached to their “name identity”. It’s been a process for me. When I was asked to begin using the name Isaiah Kenney, I was guided to only go by only “Kenney” and let Isaiah be silent. To place the healing principle before the personality so it can dissolve.  A reminder for me to identify with Silence every time some said the name Kenney. A reminder for me to ask for Guidance and let the Holy Spirit choose for me and speak through me. A reminder to more honest and stop running my life. This is still the case today but things are changing. I’m being asked to take on Isaiah and to move deeper into Silence away from Kenney. Honestly, a part of me doesn’t like it. It feels weird again. A voice says, "What are friends going to say?, you’re so weird.”  Here we go again! It’s time to let Kenny Zimbleman go deeper still step in Yeshayahu, as I move deeper into the heart of the Sufi and fly.

 

“A Special Message from the12 Step and 12 Tradition Mystical Tradition

This principle of placing or coming to believe in a Higher Principle above your little self has been taught widely in the miracle rooms of “12 Step Recovery”. One chiefly being the foundational spiritual principle of anonymity ever reminding us to place principles before personalities. Isaiah Kenney speaks to this principle and anonymity should never be misunderstood, as it is by many, as a rationale to maintain a private mind in fear of stigmatization of others. This only promotes the illusion that privacy is safety and protects the “person”. The truth of spiritual anonymity couldn’t be farther from that, for that's the problem itself. Instead, it points again to those who have discovered their names need not be uttered in favor of our shared unspoken Name, and that false identities need not be shielded.  We have no need for self-reference, self-promotion, gossip, and personal credit for anything. We need only live in the truths, “there but for the Grace of God go I” and "nothing real can threatened, nothing unreal exists".

​

In the rooms of the anonymous, we are all the same focusing only on similarities not differences, unified always in our common welfare and Singleness of purpose. In group consciousness, as it is the mystical Quaker tradition, we share One Mind and listen to the One Voice in silence of a loving Authority. A Stillness that speaks to us and who takes over our lives and delivers us salvation.

 

It’s my great hope that today you read this and it dawned on you that resting in silent awareness as your Self should be the focal point of your life and it’s become your life's mission to live in its limitless strength. Such is the strength of God! Place these principles before your own personality, discover Christ Vision, and renew your strength every moment of your life, until the past is gone and times becomes eternity. This is your holy instant of release as your escape from time. Do this and you will walk not grow weary, you will run and not be faint, you will fly again as the angel you are forever and ever! Break free from being on a desert island and leave your private mind and false identity behind.

​

Salvation is of God. God bless us everyone!

​

Yeshayahu Kenney
