"In seeing they do not see."
This was said of the Pharisees and yet even the Pharisee is not external from us. We only feel it is separate, like the finger is pointing at someone separate from ourselves. That is what the word Pharisee means: Separated ones
We are all Pharisees when we are asleep and living literally.
Ah, the journey of the ego.
It is expanding to accept differing concepts and ideas continually. It is restrictive to think that one has it all "right". There will never be an end to experience. Jesus spoke of the necessity of the new wineskin. The old has stretched as far as it can and cannot contain the volatile expansion that comes with revelation.
The ONE has its place in our origin but is not the goal. How can it be? We are forever individuated having been replicated and primed for expansion. But recognizing that we share in union, that is, making the TWO ONE is the purpose for the Emanuel - where God has joined us and we have yielded in union. Now we conceive, again and again bringing forth from our own universal womb what is inherently both God and man. Christ. This is the stuff of Genius. That love found a way to explore and inhabit the material planes in and through a helpmate, the human being.
That said, there are those whose ultimate purpose is not to be Emanuel and those will return to blend with the ONE. It is our choice. Some purchase land. Some remove the rocks. Some till the soil. Some plant the seed. Some are the bounty. Some reap the harvest. It is not so important for the reaper to convince the tiller to be a reaper. We must appreciate all and recognize we are all, in all fulfilling the purpose for which genius is. Lol.
You create what you focus on.
What you give your attention to providing emotional currency with your thought, you create.
If you are upset about the candidates in our election, and you give your emotions to either side, you create more of what you are emoting.
If you are upset with a person for anything like ____________ (pick something!), your thought and emotion percolating in your awareness is sending a vibrational request from the universe and it, being under orders to fulfill your vibrational demand, sounds back to you the very frequency of your request, and it will rapidly create what you have emoted.
You must, now more than ever, learn to keep captive negative and unwanted scenarios (thoughts) at the non creative level. This level is a thought that does not anger you but rather is held in a "neutral position" much like pressing the pedal of the clutch - thereby disengaging the gear that drives this present world of conflict.
The conflict you see around you, the darkness, the depravity etc. - welcome to the world of unbridled thought mingled with emotion. YOURS.
Are you experiencing memory loss? Fuzzy thinking? Forgetfulness?
You may be operating out of your intuitive mind.
If you are operating out of your intuitive mind it may not be accessing the mind that holds memory.
There needs to be a bridge established between the intuitive mind and the mind of YOU, the personality.
Right now we are becoming more and more aware of both minds within as we float between the two.
The intuitive mind is quickly formed information that you "feel."
The personality mind has to think and process information gleaned through past experience. It is slower to percolate to the surface of your awareness than intuition.
For now, we are learning to navigate into, through and out of the intuitive mind.
The next step is to establish the link that allows both minds to work in tandem.
The unified mind has both components working through synergy. It is called the "Christ."
That, is called UNION. And the two shall become one. Two men walking, one is taken (in marriage) and ONE is left.
This is the marriage spoken of in scripture.
You mind is the helpmate of the Divine Nature.
Much of the Bible is figurative language that produces vivid imagery within the mind of man.
This imagery is supposed to help the mind that dwells within the material world understand the principles within the IMMATERIAL realms or consciousness if you will.
For example: SATAN.
Those within fundamentalism view Satan as a BEING that is at war with God. THE ADVERSARY. It is a BEING but it DOES NOT EXIST OUTSIDE of YOU.
There is a war with the SPIRITUAL MAN as it is opposed by the MATERIAL MIND within man. That adversary is none other than the intellect that uses the knowledge of good and evil to inhabit, understand and to manipulate the world of matter. Because we "eat" from this tree (consciousness) our lifespan is limited. We are MORTAL and limited to approximately 120 years of age (Genesis 6).
Divinity or Spirit continually offers to the human being signs, symbols and allegory (figurative offerings) to AWAKEN that latent part of us (Spirit) that does not dwell within the intellect.
Intellect (what the mind thinks it knows) - Discerns through the knowledge of good and evil; our serpent nature. This is our primary operating system.
However, we are being "courted" by the part of us that is Divine and Spirit, gently awakening within us, the spark that we have been impregnated, through the virgin soil of humanity and biology where the babe is cradled.
In order to awaken, we must begin to interpret the signs! Lift your eyes! How many times have we been told to do this??!
Sarah and Abram pregnant! Sarah/CERE Abram/BRUM. CEREBRUM! This babe is born within the constructs of the human mind.
ASK SEEK KNOCK to have the eyes and ears of SPIRIT opened. Its that simple. But the religious mind will resist, hanging onto its need to be right rather than righteous, grasping world of form, a FORM of godliness yet denying its power. Denying the Christ within becoming the ANTI-CHRIST.
The ANTI-CHRIST is within us all until we cease to deny that Christ has come in the flesh - OURS.
