God's Nature and Healing

This is a work in progress, but you might enjoy a look over my

shoulder.

I believe the answer to all our problems is the nature of God.

God cannot but act according to his nature. If we can figure

out how to get into accord with God's nature, then our problems

will be addressed.

The Hebrew word shem is translated as 'name'. It actually means

nature, as in the nature of a thing. Proper names in scripture

really refer to natures and states of consciousness.

There are a bunch of names for God in the Bible. Each refers to

a particular nature or state OF THE SAME GOD. There is only one

God, of course, and the various natures of the one God are

revealed to us through the names used for him in scripture. The

whole Bible is considered by some to be the "name" of God -- the

whole thing being a summation of his overall nature. It is by

these natures of God that we may have relationship with him and

the expectation of healing.

El means strength, power. God has the nature of energy. God is

a lot more than just energy, of course, but whatever else he

may be, he has the nature of energy, power, and strength.

Shad means breast. El Shaddai means the Many-Breasted One, as

he is the Provider of Strength. God is the energy that provides

nourishment and sustenance to all. From him, good things come

our way.

Echad means compound unity. Compound unity like the many granules

of a stone, or as an ocean made up of many droplets or atoms of

water, EXCEPT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. That is, the granules are of

the stone and droplets are of the sea. God is not a unified one

"made up of others," as though he were made up of something else.

The Infinite is primary, the source of creation, as the stone is

the source of the granules and the ocean is the source the

droplets. Existence is descended from God and is of God: He is

the No-Thing, the "nihilo" that everything is made of.

The oneness of God is a big, capital idea. Be a witness to this

important fact and mark it well: THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD -- there

cannot be two. Despite the many names used to represent the

natures of God and our relationship with him, they are all

talking about the one true God. He is the one No-Thing who is

everything.

I probably should mention the unspoken name of God. The God we

know, we do know and can only know because of his actions. He is

our creator; he is doing things. There is a state of this same

God which was before any action or thought to act by It: "It" was

(and is) before any thought or action related to what we now know

as "God." This is the eternal, the "wholly other" we are from and

of.

"It" is incomprehensible: there is really no form or thing there,

yet all comes from it. We can imagine that something existed

before everything we know, but we cannot imagine what it might be,

because everything we know is derived from some thing, and It is

a step above the state of being anything. 

We cannot say a single thing to describe this, well, whatever It

is (already, It is beyond the constraints of "is-dom"), so we call

It "the Ineffable": "that which we are unable to speak of." Even

"the Most High God" as a term does not approach the elevation due

the Ineffable.

While there cannot be two Gods, conceptually this state is the

"Father" of the God we know. In fact, it is the Father of

everything. The natures of God descend and are derived from It,

as ours are of him. How did the Ineffable give birth to God?

He thought of him! Our God is the child in Proverbs chapter 8

who is the wisdom and the strength of the Ineffable. 

"Before beginning, (the Ineffable [unspoken!!!]) created (as a

state of thought) God, the Heavens and the Earth" (Genesis 1: 1;

per my understanding). This creation was the Ineffable's intent

for Man, Its own manifestation, into which manifestation Its

nature is presently descending.

Yes, that is us. We are in the process of God. In us, Its nature

is ascending.

Elohim, according to Victor Alexander (find him at v-a.com/bible),

means "Over the Flames." The One, the source energy which is both

El and the Glory of God, is manifest as many bits of that same

energy, as "flames" of it. There is only one Glorious One, but

there are many facets of that Glory.

God is also Light, the nature of being luminous and luminary.

"Light" is energy to understand, consciousness, "mind."

God is Life, and we have life. The bits of Life we each have

are manifestation of the Big Guy. They -- we -- not separate or

divided from him, for there cannot be two Gods. We're just little

emanations of his energy; that is, manifestations of him sent to

be here.

Ein Sof is one of my favorite designations for God. It is God's

nature of being without end. Beyond anything and everything in

the universe, beyond past and future, beyond every limit imaginable -

- God is. He is unconstrainable bounty. "Ein Sof," I think, is

about as close conceptually as we can get to "It."

YHWH, or "Jehovah" as we imagine it being pronounced, I do not

think was ever a word. It is never pronounced in Hebrew, and it

has never been given vowel points. I think this is because it is

rather a picture, an illustration of God.

YHWH is the pattern of God's nature: it is the pattern of the

Ineffable's manifesting here. "Call upon the name of the LORD"

means to assume the nature of YHWH, not to cry out in despair.

"The LORD (YHWH) possessed me at the beginning of his way; before

his works of old" (Proverbs 8: 22). This is the pattern of the

Infinite's out-flow, of increase and expansion. God's nature is

one of perpetual expansion, that is why he took upon himself the
limits of contraction -- our sphere of earthliness and death -

- from which to have limitless expansion and increase.

Jethro means "his jutting over or exceeding; his excellence." This

is what Moses noticed about the nature of YHWH. There is a flow,

a current of increase and expansion which runs from the intention

of the source of Life to experience in our sphere of existence.

From this Moses deduced that he also was expansion of the Ineffable

and so had Its nature, proclaiming, "AHYH! -- I become what I

become!"

"AHYH! -- I become what I become!" requires a little explanation.

We start with the nature of the Ineffable, who created God/Man as

a state of thought and then became them. Creation is three-

dimensional imagining. God imagined the END that he wanted in the

future THREE-DIMENSIONALLY. He imagined it so clearly that he

could look upon it and see that it was very beautiful. God became

the desired end three-dimensionally in his imagination, and now he
is becoming the end he predestined in reality. He is becoming

what he became. This life is the process.

Because YHWH (He is becoming), AHYH (I am becoming). We are

manifestations of this nature, of increase and expansion. "With my

staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands

(Genesis 32: 10). Jethro is a part of life: it is Adam and Eve -

- what we (Adam) imagine/respond to emotionally (Rib), we give

life to (Eve's birth of Cain and Abel) -- our manifest world. We

become manifestly what we became mentally. This is why each of

our world's reflect or "mirror" each of us -- we each create it

of ourselves.

At this pattern, one's jaw drops. It is too astounding. It is so

astounding that Bible translators have no choice but to conceptualize

scripture as a linear, secular and literal historical record. They

have to transliterate what they perceive to be the proper names of

historical people instead of translating them as the natures and the

states of consciousness of God and Man, for if YHWH is truly the

pattern of the Ineffable's nature and not his self-elected name,

then everything they know of the world, of life and our place and

work in it is wrong.

This is the chief cornerstone, the stone (fact) that the builders

have rejected, for if they were to alight upon this truth their

world-view would be broken, and they cannot allow that. (Not yet,

anyway, but they will. We all will.) This is YHWH's doing, and

it is marvelous: God's destined end of being all-in-all shall be.

Qadosh means holy, the nature of being for him. Everything is for

him. How has your holiness been? Whatever we place toward ourselves

in life is rebellion against him, rebellion as witchcraft. We owe

God a complete, perfect life as he has given to us, and we come up

short. How shall we pay him perfection, when our past life has

already gone by soiled with corruption? God without limits can

correct the past by Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ means the Anointed Life-Giver. Jesus is the provider

of life, as Abraham said, "YHWH JIREH" -- "Jehovah will provide"

(Genesis 22: 14). God provided our lives to us when he became each

of us. We may have made a  mess of it, but will God forgive his

son (each of us) whom he has made subject to futility? I know he

will. He has.

Christ is an especially interesting word. They will tell you it

means the same as Messiah, "Anointed." Why on earth would the

Greeks have an equivalent word for the Jewish concept of Messiah?

I am sort of alone on this (though I got it from Gerald Massey),

but I believe that Christ is from the Egyptian word KRST, which

means coffin. The anointing or "oil" of the spirit of God, who we
are, is imparted into the coffin -- the "Mount of YHWH" Abraham

spoke of -- which tomb is our skulls. There is the imagination,

the vestige of the Power and the Wisdom of the Infinite who

became "ignoranced" in order to dwell in and experience this

sphere of death: Jesus Christ.

This is our nature: YHWH (he becomes) in the coffin. And with this

nature is the responsibility to fulfill the Law of the Infinite's

character by AHYH (I become). No wonder the translators refuse to
eat the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil:

because it will crush the slacking conscience. It is challenging to

be responsible to not only outwardly perform the Law, but to

inwardly, actually and faithfully fulfill the Law in personal
character "24/7."

It is the Glorious One who bids us to eat. Nachash means to hiss,

which serpents do, but in ancient Chaldee, from which the Hebrew

Nachash comes, the word meant copper -- from which mirrors were

made. Copper, brass, and mirrors, like serpents in the desert sun,

shine. The petro-glyph symbol for YHWH in ancient Palestine was

a serpent -- because it SHINES. The Glorious One is not a talking

serpent with horns -- the "horns" are rays of the light of

understanding which shine from the head, and this understanding,

the flow of YHWH personified, tells us the truth: we shall not die,

but shall be as God, because we already are God. The Shining One

laid down his life to become us, to animate us by his spirit, for

which he eats dust all the days of our lives . . . in us and as us.

Understand, reader, that they are all One: God, Adam, the rib, Eve,

the Glorious/Shining One, Cain and Abel, the Garden, Nod, them, us -

- the story is all about the Ineffable -- nothing else. The Bible

is God's biography and ours. If we can get going on allowing His

nature to shine through us in this world, we will find healing.

God's nature: he thinks of what he wants in the future and creates

it in his mind as though it were his current existence. He raises

it to the level of 3D vision. And then the Sabbath. It becomes.

Our nature: same-same, except we were "ignoranced" to be able to

experience contraction, doubt and death and evolve back to

God-consciousness AS INDIVIDUALS. The Infinite really has this

all figured out. Un-ignorancing ourselves by learning God's moral

and ethical character by studying the Bible, let's, like him, choose

Good, noble goals and seed the future with good visions.

When God forgives our past by Jesus Christ, those things that caused

sin, unlikeness to him -- sickness, poverty, perversity -- NO LONGER

EXIST. I mean, they don't even exist in the past anymore: your sin,

"though it be as crimson, shall be white as wool." That means gone.

And if they are gone from the past, their effects disappear from the

present.

It is God's nature and our nature to excel and ascend, to increase

and expand towards a goal. All of this is heading for the achievement

of the six day creation. Believe you have received the beautiful,

and you will have.
