Sown Oats: the Rebellion of God -- It's a Revolution!

Premise:

We are the conscious part of man "breathed" by 

God to make mud-men a living beings. But the
transition process calls for us to identify with
the unconscious part. In doing so, we utterly
forget that we are the consciousness part that
enlivened. I call this the "flip" -- the result

is we think we are the mud-men.

The flip is essential to cultivating God's like-
ness into us "breaths" of God, for the Most High
ineffable God is independent, free, and creative

within the bounds of his holiness. As his images,

though, we were not: as he turned, we turned. The

Most High is not a slave -- he is a freedom freak.

Do you see the inconsistency here? Though God by

nature, we were unlike the Most High.

What to do? What to do?

Ah-ha!

Being self-ignoranced in our descent into man, we

gained the freedom to turn every direction
independently. Though rebels in our ignorance,
we get corrected by our afflictions in this
world and, returned to consciousness of holiness
in the baptism -- the quickening of awareness -

- we wind up more like the ineffable Most High

than ever before.

------------------------------------------------

I believe that you and I are animated mud -- mud
which has been made alive by the indwelling
spirit/consciousness of God. We are the

animators of the mud: we are not the mud.

I remember animating the man who I now am. The
event was shown to me in a vision when I was
baptized in the Holy Spirit back in 1975, though
I did not understand it then. Below, I describe
as well as I can what happened in that vision.

I didn't know it was an ecstasy

I attended the presentation of a Gaither's

musical at Grace Bible Church in Honolulu,
Hawaii. I think it was "When I met Jesus" (or
something like that -- a lot of singing and
testimonials). The friend I had gone with,
Raphael, sought the baptism in the Holy Spirit,
and being invited to do the same by a young
minister, I found myself kneeling at a folding
chair in the Fellowship Center asking Jesus to
give me the gift of tongues.

Nothing happened, and after all the requisite
humility, submissions, groveling and imploring,
I realized that Jesus was actively rejecting me.
As I thoroughly believed in Jesus Christ, that
what the Bible says about him is true -- that
he is the Son of God risen from the dead, that
he is lord over heaven and earth and is our only
hope of salvation, I sought to find out why he
was rejecting me.

Believing isn't about something "over there"

I had been waiting for something to happen from
some external source, something to take over me.

I moved from being conscious of body sensations
to a more trance-like vision in my imagination.
I walked along a riverbed channel and found that
my progress was blocked by a large white-grey
cube that filled a narrow passage in its wall.

I couldn't get a handle on the cube to move it
and couldn't get around it, so I thought of
doubling back to go up, around and over it. I
realized, though, that the path I was following
did not go past the cube but dropped, rather,
down to a lower level through a hole which was
beneath the cube. Taking another route would

be of no avail. I had no other way to get down

to where I could become acceptable to Jesus.

Pigs are unclean

I knew that the cube was some characteristic of
my personality that was unacceptable to Jesus,
and that it was even blocking my becoming
acceptable to him. I'll say that again: my
characteristic was unacceptable, and it kept me
from becoming acceptable. What the heck? How do
you win here?

Talk about a quandary! I didn't know what the
block was, I didn't know how to get rid of it,
and I didn't know what would make me acceptable
to Jesus because that was on the deeper level
that I couldn't get to because of the block! I
had already given to Jesus my mouth and breath
and larynx and body and mind, my volition to

speak, my life, my destiny and any children I

might have in the future. I had nothing left to

give -- and Jesus still wouldn't touch me!

This is "blind faith"

. . . except maybe whatever it was about me that
he rejected. I did not know what it was, and I

did not know if I would still like my life if
I gave it up, but I did know that it separated
me from him and that it was the one thing I
had not yet submitted. Seeing as I could not do

anything about it by myself anyway, I gave it to

him.

I cried, “I don’t know what it is, but whatever
it is, I give it to you." I was "all in" in the
most literal of senses. Almost.

Who was that masked man?

I saw a flat, muddy plain of the earth stretching
out before me. The figure of a man was scooped up
out of the mud and stood in front of me. As I
watched, the mud was transformed into a human
body and became a person, a human being.

I figured it must be quite a shock for the man
to find itself suddenly existing, thinking, but
not knowing squat. What does such a thing think?
I supposed the man's mind, being freshly created,
must be as blank as a clean sheet of paper, like
a newborn child's. Every thing he sensed must be
new and puzzling: Surprise! Existence! What's
this?

I wondered what his thoughts and perceptions
were. What was his perspective, his references,
his actual experience in mind?

I ignoranced myself to a blank-slate mind

I put myself in the man's "shoes", so to speak,
and tried to look at the world as he, a freshly-
created mud-man, saw it -- conscious and aware
and receiving sensory input, yet essentially
mentally blank.

(Note: I wonder if these "shoes" of imagined
experience are what we are to take off to
experience God's holy ground, this physical realm
being our "feet", and God's holy ground being the
divine body we really are: unaffected imagination
-- the trance state I had just entered!) 

 Not one, but not two ,either

I imagined myself to be the man, and I saw the
earth before me as through his eyes -- as if his
were my sense of sight. I saw the mud before me
as if I were him, and in my mind, I was. I felt
the breeze on my skin, the light and warmth of
the sun above me, the coolness of the mud under
my feet.

The words "I am alive" came to mind. "I exist. I
am a man. I am on the earth." Subjectively, I
experienced his objective, physical reality and
his subjective thought processes. I am not sure

there was a difference between us. I perceived

his life -- where he was, I was. I had faith to

be him, and as far as I knew, I was.

What was this a vision of?

The mud-man who stood before me in my vision was
alive, and I, at least in my imagination, was
him. Was it just imagination? I was alternately
looking at the man in my imagination and
looking out through his eyes and thinking in
his imagination. I was thinking both of him and
as him. I guess I was "double dipping" -- two
experiences at once.

What I saw in my imagination responded to my
thoughts, and, from the outside, I controlled
him. Yet my self-limited lowered-to-his-level-
consciousness, he controlled. I had annexed the
mud-man's brain and was off on one hell of a
wild, out-of-control ride.

Where my mind goes, I go

While I had been initially conscious that I was
imagining the man's experience as if I were he,
as I continued to think of myself as the man in
his world, I began to have concerns about "my"
life.

I (as he) saw hills beyond the muddy plain, and
I said to myself, "This is earth. This is day.
It will get dark and cold. I need to find
shelter, a cave maybe, and I'd better do it
quickly!" I felt excitement, apprehension, maybe

even fear. I didn't know what else was out there.

"I will need to make a fire, and I must find
enough firewood to last through the night. I
have to find food. How can I identify what is
edible? What do people eat in the wild? Should I
look for food first, before I find a cave? Or
should I find a cave first? Perhaps I should
plant seeds while I gather food so I'll have food
in the future. Can I afford to take time to do it
now? Will tomorrow be soon enough? How much time
do I have before it gets too dark?"

I had all these concerns and pressing issues,
and my newly-created mud-man mind was filled
with concerns of all I had to take care of.

From behind the man, I watched "me" scurry
along the side of the hills looking for a cave,
gathering food and firewood. "I" had a lot of
important things to take care of. I was on my
way.

Whose life is this, anyway?

As I watched the mud-man me scramble off to take
care of all these important, time and mind
consuming matters, I was reminded, "just a few
moments ago, he was nothing but mud." The man
I now was, who was scrambling off to take care
of all his pressing concerns, was just mud which
had been formed into a body and made to live by
God.

Uh-oh

Hey, wait. Then who was I to take off with God's
life to take care of my pressing issues? Mud
doesn't have issues -- mud doesn't really even
have needs. What was my big hurry? What the heck
was I doing? God had been able to make me live,
and anything that I needed God could take care
of. This was his project, and he could chose to
run it any way he wanted. What did I need to
worry about? After all, I was HIS mud. He owned
me; it was his responsibility.

Not even an "Excuse me"

I realized that from my birth I had used God's
life to take care of whatever concerns I had. I
lived life as I saw fit. I had never -- not even
once -- thought about what purpose God had in his
mind for me when he created me. His creation of
me, after all, hadn't been for me, it had been
for him! And his purpose waited, unfulfilled.

I have life-jacked God and am facing the Judge

I had never asked God, "What did you create me
for? What do you want me to do?" Nor had I ever
said, "Thank you for making me to live." No, I
had just mindlessly presumed to take his life
as my own possession and done whatever I wanted
with it. And that not very successfully, either.

I had stolen God's life -- and wasted it! He had
made me to live by his grace and for his purpose,
whatever that might be, and I had turned my back
on him and lived "my" life under my own lordship.

And now, here he is. The vision I was having was

proof to me that God was present and aware,

because I certainly wasn't the one showing this

stuff to me.

Talk about uncomfortable.

Suddenly sober

I stopped cold. "My life? My lordship? I don't
have any life! No wonder Jesus won't accept me -
- I'm a rebel!" I still considered "my" life
to be my life. What I had really been saying to
Jesus was, "I 'give' my life to you -- sort of,
on an experimental and conditional basis -- 'I'
will still be under my control, but I will
'submit' to you as long as I like what is
happening; and if I do not like what you do with
me, I am going to take 'me' back!"

I had "given" myself to Jesus as his peer, as his
equal, and, in my mind, I was still the ultimate
lord of my life.

Rebellion as witchcraft

By believing myself to be separate and
independent of God and his equal, I was in
rebellion against his lordship. I made myself
to be God: a separate God. I even had the
audacity to offer to God his own life as if it
were mine to give! And I expected gifts! "Wahoo,
God, jump for joy! Here I am acknowledging you."

I not only had no life to offer God, I had
NOTHING to offer God. I was his; everything
was his. I was just mud in ignorant rebellion
against him, as naked as could be and guilty as
charged.

Pre-forgiven

I had absolutely no justification for what I had
done except my complete ignorance of what I was
doing. When I had self-ignoranced myself to the
level of mud-man consciousness, I had no memory
of the consciousness I had been, of God, of his
intentions or of his purposes. I would have to
learn all of that during this life, and I was
just now starting school. I thought I was 

separate.

And God knew that: for God's sake, he was the
one doing it! This was his purpose, and for this
he says, "Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do." I sure didn't. My freedom was

his gig.

There was nothing I could do but acknowledge
with all my heart God's absolute lordship and
cast myself upon his mercy -- and divest myself
of all self-control and self-lordship! Talk
about having to get rid of a bad habit! I had to
"un" all of my self-control completely.

I didn't know what might happen to me when I
did, but I had to stop all self-lordship. I
might fall flat on my face like a spineless
blob, but that would be all right. If God
caught me (and I believed he could), I would
stay up; but if he didn't, oh well.

I figured that I couldn't fall further than the
floor anyway, and not knowing what else to do,
I cast self-control out of myself: I totally
suspended and relinquished every vestige of it.
I went into "float".

And God caught me. I made absolutely no effort
to hold myself up, and I found that God was
strong to hold me up. I liked where I must be.

I stop here

In my mind, mud-man me knelt at a fallen tree.
As him I could sense the rosy glow of God's glory
filling the sky above me. I listened intently -
- I didn't want blow this opportunity -- whatever
God said, I would do! (This, by the way, is the
meaning of the Biblical name 'Simon': to hear
with intent to obey. "Upon this rock . . .")

The contrast between the God's glory and my own
worthlessness struck me. I said, "You are
glorious God. I am mud. You own me." I completely
and absolutely submitted to his lordship. Now I

was really "all in".

In that moment of absolute submission I heard a
soft voice within me say, "Remember this, and
it is all right."

I replayed the words in my mind, "all right?"

I am accepted? Hallelujah!"

I went into ecstasy and rivers of living waters
(the consciousness of holiness) began to well up

in my bowels. As they did, my jaw started to

quiver of its own accord. The minister next to

me said, "Don't try to control it; just let it

go."

Free wheeling

I guess he had "been there and done that"
himself. I wasn't about to start taking control
of anything, anyway. In my mind, I sat back
and just observed -- my mouth moved on its own
to form words which grew into a most beautiful
Oriental dialect. I let it go.

The minister's comment reminded me that I was
amongst people in a room on earth and probably
making a spectacle of myself. Raphael was slack-
jawed when I "landed" and opened my eyes. He
hadn't yet found the path.

Did you see my mistake?

I belabor this whole account to show you my
mistake. Did you see it? It is on either side
of Uh-oh, above. In my vision, I began as
imagination, consciousness. By the end of the
vision, my perspective had changed and I
believed that I was the mud-man who had been
animated by God. I recently realized that, in
reality, I was the consciousness sent by God to
animate the mud which I, at the end, believed
myself to be. And now am.

Did you follow that? It is kind of convoluted,
but the upshot is that I am not the animated,
I am the animator! There is a difference. For
one thing, the "rebel" . . . is God!

"This" was what?

I had been accepted by God on the condition
that I remember "this". What was the "this"
that makes everything all right between him
and me?

Basically, it is that I belong to God -- that
EVERYTHING belongs to God -- because he has
become everything. I am him -- we all are --
He is playing all the parts!

"Jesus Christ is the only true God, and so am I,
and so are you." -- William Blake

What God had shown me in the vision was that I
had so identified with the mud-man's ignorance
that I had come to believe that I actually was
mud, separate from God and animated by him by
some kind of remote control that left me on my
own, which is impossible because I am him: I am
his consciousness which was given to animate
the mud.

Were there a divide, I would be found on God's
side of the divide. But there is no divide.

There is just One.

 Isn't the mud separate?

As imagination, we all flipped from being God's
consciousness to being man's consciousness. It
is all imagination.

God is imagination: "Before/As the beginning,

(the Ineffable, Most High God) created . . .

his own imagination! "God" -- in the heavens

(our brains), and in the earth (our mud bodies)"

(Genesis 1: 1). There is nothing in the whole

world but God, and he is the Ineffable's

imagination. And us.

The biblical character Jesus Christ is that
imagination in us speaking to us from within us

because he is us.

'In' means is

What we perceive as "concrete reality" is really
God's imagination. Note this for your own sake:
the Most High imagines to concreteness. I cannot
imagine a clearer example of how to imagine for
the work of God we are called to do: he so

imagines that if we fall down, we go splat.

It hurts, yet "things seen were not made of

things which do appear" (Hebrews 11: 3). Because

they are imagined to the state of concreteness 

we call "existence".

(Bullinger holds that the above verse refers to
dispensational ages and not creation. I hold
that it refers to both, the dispensations being
illustrative -- imagic -- of the nature of

creation.)

We have lived under the illusion that we are
nothing but mud enlivened in God's grace by his
spirit. But we, of course, are the spirit. We are

the consciousness God sent into the mud to

enliven it. We are not the animated; we are the 

animators.

God is the original "package deal"

When God sends, he is the sent, for God does not
divide and separate, he emanates. The "package"
of God arrives, and all of God is inside! All of

his presence and potential he has hid in us,

because he is us. (Proverbs ch. 8; Ecclesiastes

3:11 -- our fulfilled destiny is to be the little

child who was before him from the get-go. All of

this is to get to that!)

We have life-jacked the mud

The so-called solar, sun-sprouted person who lived

on this earth, I joined and became. I, as the

spirit of God, did so so that he might become

God. Not that he wasn't already, but he didn't

know it. I have come alongside of him to lift him

up to conscious awareness of what he actually is:

the divine Ineffable in individuality.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know: I don't even know it

myself, so how can I lift him up? Well, I have

faith because I know him in whom I have believed,

and faith is the belief in things which are not

seen. The mud-man and I have become one flesh,

and as I learn the truth, I am his shield. I

descended to become him, and when I ascend again

to our father, I am taking him with me! I have
gotten him mind and speech. I'm also working on

character, integrity, fidelity to God's word, and

perhaps oddly, independence, too.

You also are God, imagination crucified on the

"cross" of your flesh and the person you believe

yourself to be in this world of affliction -

- hell -- saving your solar man's life. You became 

one with him and quickened him with the divine 

life of God's consciousness, which you are. And

just as you impregnated this spirit with the

divine seed of your awareness, your words and

thoughts are divine seeds that impregnate the

world you are in, and they return their fruit unto

you. You are a life-giving spirit -

- THE life-giving spirit. Begin to wake up now.

The mud stays here. 

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest,

and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day

and night shall not cease" (Genesis 8: 22).

An open letter to Vic Alexander (v-a.com/bible), regarding Proverbs ch. 8; 30: 1; and Ecc. 3:11

I have to admit, I am delighted with 
Victor Alexander's choices of books to
translate (Proverbs next), because
recently I have been thinking much on
the "Son" in Proverbs chapter 8. This
Son is the key to all God's works,
God's design and the goal God is
accomplishing through us.

"I was set up from everlasting, from
(before?) the beginning . . . Then I
was by him as a little child, and I was
daily his delight, rejoicing always
before him" (Proverbs 8: 30).

This Son is the determined end of us,
the Son whom, in Ecclesiastes 3:11,
God has "hid" in our hearts. He is our
destiny, and bringing him out clearly
in our consciousness is the work that
God is doing. This "second" Son must
increase, and the first son -- the
life of flesh-consciousness (Cain,
Ishmael, Esau, etc.) -- must cease.

Sorry, hard to resist preaching.
Anyway, Alexander's announcement of
translating Proverbs next now made me 
remember a interesting note about the
Son in Bullinger's Companion Bible. I
found it in his notes on Proverbs 30: 
4: "Who hath ascended up into heaven
or descended? Who hath gathered the
wind in his fists? Who hath bound the
waters in a garment? Who hath estab-
lished all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his
Son's name, if you canst tell?"

Notes Bullinger: "Who . . . ? Can it
mean that the speaker here is the
speaker of ch. 8? viz. the "son" of
the last clause of this verse?"

I thought I might share with you
my personal translation of Proverbs
30: 1, which uses Chuck Missler's
interpretation of the words Agur,
Jakeh, Ithiel and Ucal: 

"I, the son of the pious one (i.e.,
Solomon, the son of David), collect
the "words" (dark sayings, wisdom,
and understanding), even the oracle: 
the Mighty Man said, "God is with me.
God arrives with me to be consumed"
(parentheses mine).

I believe the "Mighty Man" mentioned
here is the Son, pattern God has
determined to be our "end", whose 
manifestation speaks to us in the
form of Jesus Christ. The Son spoke
to Solomon, or at least Solomon got
the message about the Son loud and 
clear. Thus Solomon says in Proverbs,
"Surely I am more natural than a
learned man, and have not the
discernment of a commoner. I was 
not taught (this) wisdom, (except) I
have knowledge of the Most Holy."

Of course, eating the Eucharist is
just a sign and a symbol of the real
consuming of God who arrives as the
son. The real consuming of God via
the Son . . . how very interesting
an idea. What is consuming God? No,
I don't know where to go with this,
either, though I think it has to do
with the Life-force -- the Life-
giving, Living Branch that is Jesus
Christ -- and imagination and faith.
 
Proverbs 30:1 does point up the
problem of translating messages,
phrases and concepts as the proper 
names of literal, historical people
when they actually refer to
principles. Agur, Jakeh, Ithiel and
Ucal -- if I may assume that Chuck
Missler is correct -- not a single
one is a person's personal name,
and the very important message of
Solomon's -- this fantastic oracle -
- has been lost to the greater apart
of mankind for nearly thirty
centuries.

On the behalf of mankind, thank you,
Victor Alexander, for the work you
are doing.

The Faith of a Mustard Seed is NOT Small.

PLEASE, CHRISTIAN PASTORS, please,
please stop saying that the faith of a mustard
seed is small. It is the seed that is small. That 
is why it is used as an example of us. We are
very little seeds of God -- little like the mustard
seed.

The mustard seed only knows that it is a
mustard. It has no larger or smaller size of
faith than any other living thing. It simply
knows that it is a mustard, and it grows into
a relatively large bush for such a small seed,
BECAUSE IT IS MUSTARD.

Thus it is a fitting example of us: we are small
seeds of God. That is all we have to know. We
are going to grow into something really big. 

Why the Person Who Says There is no God is a Fool

Consider the irony in Psalm 14: 1: 

The fool hath said in his heart,
"There is no God."

What he is, he says is not!

We are each God -- can't help it; we just are.
The power of life which is our consciousness,
the spirit that animates the bodies we are in,
is the "portrait" of God. So if you want to find
God or know God, there he is, your life.
For one to say that God is not
 is to say that the speaker is not.
Yes, these are certainly the words of a fool. 
Or to say that God cannot be known --
What ? You can't know yourself? 
The life-power / life-force animates everyone.
That "stuff" is God.  
He is your "me".  

Moses' Secret of Positive and Effective Praying: the Perspective of Being, Being from, and Being of God.

Moses knew the secret of positive and effective

praying. It has to do with perspective. Moses

learned it while tending the “flocks of Jethro"

(Exodus 3:1). Who was Jethro? Perhaps Jethro was

not exactly a "who", but a "what".

Moses was genuinely spiritual, and God

was prodding his mind to maturity (Reuel, lit. God

associating to tend, to feed, to pasture). Moses

noticed that "Jethro" happened, and that it was

phenomenal. He understood that it was a real

demonstration of spiritual power. He had

discovered the law of increase, an aspect of the

Law of God (see Raymond Holliwell, Working With

the Law).

The root word behind Jethro means "to jut over

or exceed; to excel" (Strong's Hebrew and Chaldee

dictionary #3498). It is a surpassing abundance

of provision, where resource seems to exceed

capacity and needs are more than fully met.

Because the word Jethro also contains a pronoun

suffix, it is further "his jutting over" or "his

excellence" (emphasis mine).

"His" who? Moses saw that Jethro is a phenomenon

of increase, a principle of expansion that "works",

and if it works, then there must be someone, an

invisible agent of cause, who is making it work!

This really gave Moses something to think about,

a puzzlement (Zipporah, a little chirping bird).

For instance, Job had been the richest man around,

and though he had lost everything, he received back

double of what he had had. Isaac, in desperately

hard times, planted during a famine and still

received a hundredfold of what he had planted.

Jacob fled across the Jordan River with virtually

nothing but his staff, and after years of being

cheated he returned to the Jordan as two bands

of people -- with flocks and herds to spare. Who

was the invisible causer of these undeterable

benefits of increase, and why did they happen? They

certainly weren't happening by themselves.

Moses, being a spiritually-minded guy, realized

that this providing was revelatory. Whomever was

causing the provision was doing it because increase

and expansion was his nature. Jethro is something

that happens because of what the change agent is.

It is imagic of that certain somebody's inner being.

Was some overseeing god favoring these guys?

Let's take a trip to ancient Egypt. This little

segue will prove invaluable to understanding Moses'

secret of positive and effective praying, because

Moses' underlying philosophical background was

formed by the ancient Egyptian myths. The core of

these myths was the basis for his worldview. The

secret of positive and effective praying has to do 

with Moses’ perspective. (For a wild ride in

Egyptian myths, see Gerald Massey, The Exodus from

Egypt and the Desert of Amenta.)

The myths dealt with two different sources of

life which were the origins of two different

peoples -- the solar and the stellar.

Before I lose you, these were figurative images

of us. "Solar" means the sun-sprouted organic

life of the earth, i.e., the natural man. "Stellar"

means life from the heavens, the spiritual man.

These two different races of people refer actually

to the two facets of consciousness within each of us.

We each have, or rather are, a physical

consciousness -- a "solar-person" of the earth;

and we are a spiritual consciousness, a "stellar-

person" from heaven. These two consciousnesses are

the two "people" within each of us.

Let's review the count: one mind, two seemingly

separate consciousnesses, one of the flesh, and one

of the spirit (or if you would, one's individual

human mind and the original spiritual mind. Each of

us is this pair of consciousnesses. Not has, but is.

Moses greatly enlarged upon this basic Egyptian

concept (and it is all that he is talking about

throughout his gospel -- that the two "different"

minds within us are, in fact, one). 

He put the Jethro happenings and the two minds

together.

One night, or perhaps it was a chilly morning, Moses

burned the branches of a desert shrub and watched as

the branches burned . . . and burned . . . and burned.

"Hmm. Maybe there is a hidden source of oil within the

bush being forced out by the heat or somethin'."

Ah-ha! An epiphany! "Oh, oh, that is what is

happening in Jethro!" Moses exclaimed. "The

individual, fleshly mind desires, which is heat to

the imagination. And the spiritual mind -- which is

from and of the Creator -- expands like flame

creating the world according to the intensity of

the desires of the individual mind. Both minds are

. . . 'me'! I become what I desire. I become by my

imagination; I am the agent of my own increase!

"There is a pattern to it, a mechanism: YHWH -- the

ineffable, Creator God desired and became man – me.

I desire and become whatsoever I desire, because I

am also the stellar person -- the Creator God! I

am a package deal: the Infinite Spirit, the human

mind, and the world I create -- we are all one!

There is nothing but God in the world!"

Thus the law of increase is an equation: the power of

life times the "heat" of focused desire equals

creation: Adam x rib/Eve = Cain (and Abel). Adam is

the active power of divine life (which is the

"portrait" of God); the rib and Eve are the intensity

and focus of that force's desire; Cain is the acquired

manifestation of that desire, and Abel is the

transitoriness of the manifestation.

The pattern is Y-H-W-H (Y, the divine life; H, the

desire to expand/give; W, the power to transcendently

effect that expansion/giving into being; and H, the

the grateful, reciprocating reception of the expansion

and giving). The four facets of YHWH together are the

nature of God and the transcendental flow of his ever

expanding life-being, which is symbolized and manifested

in our lives as understanding, healing and success.

No wonder the Jews humbly bow when they come up to this

concept in their scriptures. It says emphatically (and

this should put you on your knees) "I, even I, am he."

We cannot be apart from YHWH, God's life and increase;

for we are his life and increase. We are channels of

his spiritual power and expansion, because we are YHWH.

We are in God and of God. We are verily attributes of

God himself.

The principle of Jethro, of increase and expansion,

is a feature of our nature, because God is IN us and

IS us. Moses' revelation is very clear that the

animating power which makes us living beings is God's

own consciousness, the very spirit of God, which was

imparted into us to make us us. Our consciousnesses,

which are to us "me", are really the Ineffable.

"And the LORD God (YHWH Elohim) formed man of the

dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils

the breath of Life (the Spirit, his own consciousness);

and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2: 7).

The consciousness imparted by God to make us

living beings did not and cannot become separate

from God who sent it. God's spirit does not piece,

it emanates. God goes with the sent, because he is

the sent. Each of us is an emanation of the divine

spirit, and there can be no separation or division

between him and us save in degree of awareness.

But why two minds (well, three, actually)? For God

to animate the "Lifeless" physical body of man into

a Living being, that spiritual "person" -- YHWH

Elohim, God -- has to join this physical "person"

(the  manifestation of flesh, i.e., the mud-man) by

dying to (forgetting) his elevated state of being and

humbly flipping into being the state of consciousness

of the flesh.

This "flipped" consciousness descends into and

annexes the brain of the human, and thus "crucified"

upon this stake of death, the mud-body of man, the

now individualized consciousness becomes a servant

to the body. In this new state, one mind from the

spirit is conscious ONLY of being flesh (but it is

still God), and the original mind of the spirit is

still conscious of being God, because God cannot

not be conscious of being God. There can be no real

separation from or division of God).

The individualized human mind we think with is

actually the dreaming "flipped" part of the spirit

original, and this flipped consciousness is our

conscious awareness of being.

And, of course, almost unnoticed and unaccounted for

is whatever consciousness might have existed in the

human brain that was annexed when we descended into

the primate skull as its consciousness and took over.

We were not originally the humans, but now we are.

So, three minds. One is actually of the flesh, one

is spirit in the skull laboring under the illusion

that it is the flesh, and one is God, the source of

the dreamer. This is Genesis 1: 1: the Elohim source;

the flipped dreamers in skulls, the Heavens; and the

fleshly mud-man -- the Earth. All this was created by

the ineffable, the Most High God via the desire for

form, the experience of the son.

It is like an alien abduction, but we are the

abductors. Our consciousnesses abducted the primates'

experience. Yikes. But they are getting their bennies:

"God became man that man might become God." The ape

gets to enjoy increase – nice houses, fast cars, TV,

high-fidelity audio and fine food – all on the way to

becoming aware of being God’s spirit.

Kind of makes you want to read the book to find out

what it really says, doesn't it?

The upshot is that, while our consciousnesses are

the dreaming, self-ignoranced part of God which

became us in grace to make these bodies living beings,

they are still God. One of the two consciousnesses that

are our imagination is the Lord Jesus Christ, the

living, life-giving branch of God; and inasmuch as he

is our imagination, we are -- and can talk to -- the 

Lord Jesus Christ in our imagination and create the

world we desire. We create according to his nature by

what we imagine. "Him who cometh to me I will in no

wise cast out" (John 6: 37).

You and I are both us and him.

You have heard that God created the world by speaking

it into existence. THAT WAS US! Victor Alexander says

it so well in his translation of Genesis 1:1 from the

original Aramaic (v-a.com/bible): "As the beginning,

the Son of God creates the heavens and the earth."

This is so very true! The "mouth" of God is the mind

of man, and the world that now is we are creating by

thinking, desiring, and believing; that is, by

imagining. The beginning is right now. "As a man

thinketh, so is he (or she)."

God rules as man. This is the real meaning of Israel.

God is the doer of the verb part of such compound names

in Hebrew. God rules as you. What you think to do, God

is behind you 100%. This fact should make you want

to think good.

We operate on the principle of faith. Creating is

mentally determining a desired end. That is something

we do. Creation is a planned end coming into existence.

This takes time, but faith is believing that the

determined end is, and by 'is' I mean that the

determined end exists, even if it is as yet unseen.

Unseen does not mean unexperienced.

We determine the end that is our future. Nothing in

the universe -- not in a thousand universes -- could

ever deter what God has ordained from ultimately

manifesting in the flesh. Everything in the holy

Sabbath plays toward the foreordained end. Faith

trusts that the foreordained end already is, that is,

that it already exists in invisible reality.

This is the holy Sabbath: resting in faith until the

determined end -- which has already been created by

us --appears. But, of course, we first have to create

the end.

We sail as Noah in our arks. Just as Adam created

his "living" world by defining the nature of all

the living states brought mentally to him, and Noah

created the world he desired by receiving all the

living states brought mentally to him, we determine,

create and establish the world we desire by populating

it in our imaginations with received living states

and by believing that the world of those received

states exists. If God says they exist, they do.

Say it.

"Living" means a state that is real to us. A state

is "real" if we experience it. We experience states

mentally. We create the worlds we want in the future

by experiencing their states in the mental now.

And though the world all around us should flood with

facts contrary to our desired worlds' existence ever

coming to pass, if we persist in belief, the end we

have created will harden concretely into fact in our

living world, and we will plant our vineyards in it.

"The word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and

in thy heart, that thou mayest do it . . . that

thou mayest live and multiply, and YHWH thy

Elohim (-- our own imaginations!) shall bless thee

in the land whither thou goest to possess it"

(Deuteronomy 30: 14-16).

The word -- the authority to create the worlds

we desire -- is given unto us! What we "say",

that is, what we think and believe in our hearts,

proceeds into our FUTURE, which is the "land

whither we goest to possess". The "live and

multiply" is the abounding provision of Jethro,

which our imaginations by the spirit of God will

have created for us in that future (but we mentally

experience it as now).

We create whatsoever we believe in faith, SO DO

NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE in faith, else you

will possess exactly that in your future (does your

present world look anything like what you have been

thinking?). We have a lot of learning to do! Let's

wake up, translate, read and believe the Bible

properly; and let's think and confess mentally only

what good things we actually want to experience in

the future. Make good thoughts your mental diet.

Accentuate the positive, for we are creating our

own tomorrows which we will occupy. Forget holding

onto things -- having is a poor substitute for

creating. If we are sharp-tongued, critical and

judgmental all the time, that is exactly what we

are going to experience. What a hell we can create

for ourselves!

Is that really what we want? No, of course not.

So "say", that is, think and believe with faith . . .

ONLY those things that are true, honest, just, pure,

lovely, of good report and worthy of praise. Envision

the best, the most noble, the most excellent and

most perfect end to whatever you desire. Imagine,

and thus create, THAT. Give your host flesh the gift

of a good occupier.

Neville Goddard said it this way in his lecture,

"I am all imagination" (see same on youtube.com):

"Faith is subjectively appropriating your objective

hope."

That is, we hope for -- desire -- a certain objective

"end". By faith we create that objective end in our

subjective mind, the imagination, and make it our

living place. We populate this subjective place with

"living" states. We need to determine it so well in

the imagination that we can be there, have it, and

think from it as though it were concretely real as

our present reality. Once we make our objective hope

concrete and experiential in the subjective mind,

it will, in its time, become concretely real in our

objective reality (but it will still be transitory).

"Have faith in God. Whoever shall say . . . and

shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe

that those things which he saith shall come to

pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. . . .

What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,

believe ye receive, and ye shall have" (Mark 11:

22-24).

Talk to Jesus about whatever you want. He cannot not

hear you.
