After navigating the deceptive noise and the weight of valuing the “voice of the great deceiver” in mind, Dylan experienced the profound Stillness and Love found only in one’s true Identity in Christ.
His materials are dedicated to identifying the mental strongholds that stand against your Identity in Christ and God’s Peace. Dylan offers his presence not as a source of peace itself, but as a joyful companion pointing you toward the tools of renewal—allowing the Holy Spirit to change your heart, renew the mind, and reveal the fullness of who you already are in Christ.
Dylan reminds everyone that the experience of God’s Peace and Love beyond intellectual understanding is what truly matters, rather than being caught up in the pointers to this Experience. He walks beside you into the Joyous Experience where it is “no longer I, but Christ that lives in me.”
Early Struggles and a Pivotal Decision
When I was inspired by the Holy Spirit to surrender myself fully, it was an invitation into allowing me to witness His Love and Care in an experiential way. It was an invitation into humility, to wash away the pride of the world’s thinking of how I have to provide for myself.
It was very practical. Go into town and walk around. Feed that ‘homeless’ man sitting on the side of the walkway. Listen to him and get to know him while you are eating with him. Share your experience with him.
As I listened and followed, the Joy and Love that bubbled from within was more meaningful than anything I had previously experienced, in regards to how my personal identity wanted to and would spend ‘its time’.
Prior to this, I was making money in a job. Was I consistently happy, consistently grateful, consistently experiencing this radiant love inside me? No. I was prideful in that identity that I had built apart from Him. I would walk past the homeless, and side with the devil’s thinking of judgement and how I am greater than thou for not being in your position.
Yet, truth be told, I was actually poorer in Spirit than they. I now know why they were placed there in that exact moment, by Him. Because every time I walked past ‘the homeless’, there was this self-reflection, this guilt, this conviction: Wow, I have all of this money and flashy worldly things, yet I have no love in my heart, I cannot even bring myself to give them food because of my prideful identity.
What a life I was living, not. I was dead inside, and all of Heaven knew it. Yet, there was no judgement, there was only an invitation to turn from my way of lack of love to His Way of Love. That is what repentance means: to know that your way is bearing no inward fruit, and therefore, to fully know in your heart that you need to change ways.
Therefore, this surrender that I was being invited into was all about how to experience every day life through His Singular Eye of Love, to experience every moment with Him, rather than apart from Him in my own built identity: my own preferences, desires, understanding and way of thinking and perceiving. I didn’t know where it was going to lead yet, but all that I knew was that it was either let Him lead the way or die a fruitless life in the world.
The main fear that arose for me, from this invitation, was around money. The Holy Spirit would remind me, “You have the intellectual understanding of the teachings of Jesus, now let’s go for the practical application, let’s really put this into practice, starting off with Matthew 6:25-34, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow”.
Day-by-day and moment-by-moment through prayer, I noticed everything I needed was provided in unexpected and synchronistic ways in the moment it was needed. This allowed me to witness His Power and practical nature of, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all else shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
During this humbling experience of leaning on Him for everything, I gave myself to a life of prayer and communion with the Holy Spirit, applying 2 Corinthians 10:5 which states, “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Although I experienced intense resistance and despair throughout this period, unwinding from the inner demons, with the Holy Spirit I began to see the inherent emptiness of “the voice of the adversary.” In a sacred moment of surrender, which I describe as “a lightning bolt moment of realisation,” the “inner thunderstorms” subsided revealing the Stillness and Love of the Self in Christ behind all thunderstorms; the personal identity built on fear fully dissolving into His Love, which was there all along, yet obscured in this personal identity built apart from Him.
From this experience, One Silent Mind was founded; a community in devotion to God, sharing experiences and pointers of unwinding from the voice of the great deceiver, in mind, and its fruits of spiritual death to know your Identity in Christ.
The Community of One Silent Mind
One Silent Mind is a community devoted to applying and living the teachings of Jesus Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to change your heart, renew the mind, and reveal everything that you already are in Christ. Together, with the Holy Spirit leading the way, we expose the influence of the devil or ego in our mind, so that you can withdraw your value in it and anchor into your Identity in Christ.
The inspirations, projects and collaborations that stem forth from being in the Spirit of God are then shared to everyone to Light the world in His Love.
Dylan shares that the root of all suffering is a misplaced devotion to the voice of the great deceiver and its unloving beliefs, thoughts and effectual emotions and perceptions. Through prayer and communion with the Holy Spirit, one learns to withdraw their value in the voice of the deceiver to place devotion correctly in God.
In devotion correctly placed in God, one recognises that their Identity in Christ remains untouched by the storms of the world, resting in the Peace of God. The tools provided are designed to guide one through vulnerability, to question the very foundations of their suffering with the Holy Spirit. Only through the Holy Spirit’s Discernment can one withdraw devotion to the voice that speaks against God, surrendering that self to accept one’s Identity in Christ, rooted in the Father. Out of this, the Fruits of the Spirit naturally shines forth as one’s very Being in God.
A New Way of Being
Dylan’s life is no longer a quest for consumption, but an outpouring of creative service, constant gratitude and devotion to God. He invites everyone to cease the restless seeking in the world for what is already available in Him.
Through online ministry, using movies, art, music and gaming, Dylan uses the fabric of daily life as tools to point to God and to connect with people of all ages in His purpose of forgiveness. He reminds everyone that the experience of peace and love beyond an intellectual understanding of psychological studies and spiritual teachings is what truly matters, rather than getting caught up in the pointers to this experience.
Someone who speaks about Christ and God seems crazy to the mind that has not been flooded by the Love of God in Heart. It is a Living Experience that the words point to. Let the mere words be turned into an actual experience today.
God,
I do not know if You are there or not.
If You are there, make Yourself known to me today.
I want to know You. I want to know Your Love today.
Amen.
