What is wrong with the world and how to fix it: Moses put the ancient, primary and foundational Aramaic Theology in the front where it can't be missed!

Why is there pain and suffering and confusion in the world? What is the Abomination of Desolation and the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? While I was listening to Neville Goddard's "Unless I Go Away" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sux5iWH-Vmk) for the umpteenth time, I realized that the vision he described clearly answers these questions.

Neville saw an enormous field full of very large and lovely sunflowers. Each sunflower had a human face, and they all moved together "in rhythm to God's command: if one swayed, they all swayed; if one smiled, they all smiled; if one frowned, they all frowned." Neville knew he could not compare to the majesty of any one of these flowers, but he, at least, was free, while every one of them was fixed in the ground. "I was more free than all of them put together, and millions more, times any number." Next to the field of sunflowers was an ugly dump where they throw all the garbage of the world, and, seeing a rat, Neville tried to catch it. He caught the rat, and he put it into a cage. Then the vision faded.

Yes, that explains why there is pain and suffering and confusion in the world, as well as what the Abomination of Desolation and the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit are. Here is how:

The whole thing is an illustration of God. YHWH, the creator God, is ONE conscious awareness of being made up of myriad such conscious awarenesses, each awareness an individual "child" of the Father (Heb. e'had: one made up of many). As the Most High God "moves" by desiring, the myriad individual awarenesses follow like sunflowers tracking the life-giving light of the sun. In perfect agreement, their vivid, believing imagining of his desires manifest dimensionally, creating and directing the universe. The faces on the sunflowers are our awarenesses, yet we are as little children in that while the Father is free and self-developed, we are not. We are God . . . and yet not like him! What has the Most High Father desired? That we be mature like him, including being independent, individual, and free.

"Onward and upward to becoming more like the Most High," said we in agreement. "Let us make man in our image: the Eternal Life-giver, independent and free, in control, self-directed and self-developed." A tall order that takes a lot of time to mature and the generation of consciousness, awareness and character FROM SCRATCH. We imagined and created the END of what he desired for us to be in the future, and we are becoming it.

To become THAT, both God and free, we had to forget all that we are as God and go back to square one--to complete ignorance--and develop from there. We are still in heaven as awarenesses of being, but we have completely scrubbed it from our consciousness and have hid from ourselves, dwelling in our dream of generating unto the freedom of God's son, the Son of Man.

Welcome to the dump. The field and the dump are not separate places, but one. We are awarenesses in the field dreaming our conception of self as humans in the dump. We are altogether forgetful of our true nature. To propel our dream along in regenerating consciousness of that nature, we put ourselves into these "cages"--the five bodily senses whose limiting we experience as humans. We have become like immoral, greedy rats to push us to become more like the Most High who is holy, independent, individual and self-generated—and utterly free. However, the complete ignorance we have been born into is a problem.

Limits to propel us? Surprisingly like marriage. As unconscionable humans with the eternal awareness that we are hidden inside (see Ecclesiastes 3: 17), boy, what a mess we make of things, and how we want relief from it! But this is our wisdom: trapped "naked and unashamed" (ignorant in our cages), the light that lighteth every man (read--the divine life, "Adam") is us, and we desire (read--with intense longing, imagination, "rib") to give birth to (read--"Eve") expression (read--'Cain, Abel").

Yes, it is all spiritual--God and us as one. It is our higher consciousness, the Shining One (read--"Jesus Christ, Serpent/YHWH*")—the awareness within us who attacks our independent self-lordship--the idea of our being separate from God--which was born of complete ignorance. We foolishly resist ("Thou shalt not eat" isn't a commandment; it is a lament!) until the love and wisdom of God win out and we see Jesus Christ for what he really is, the brilliant effulgence of God's Glory, the divine awareness of being we are within us. When we submit to God we "eat" of the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil and gain conscience. Finally, we are on the road to fulfilling God's will for our lives. If you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, Halleluiah!

As human conscience, our awareness of being goes upon its “belly,” humbly eating the dust of human life until it leads our conception of self to the resurrection from the dead, which is the state of ignorance we are in in the forgetting of our divinity. In the final Resurrection, memory will return, and we will again be alive as God and free.

No, they didn't teach me this in Sunday School, either (but they should have!). Who could imagine that the Bible actually means what it says?

Why is there pain and suffering and confusion in the world? It is because we begin life in the ignorant state of forgetfulness, like reprobate rats--deficient and apostate--and think that we are a body separate from God. Our perceptual deficiency plays out in our doing everything stupidly: we imagine every bad thing that can happen, which imagining causes it to happen. What we fear manifests, because it is what we have imagined. We are--unbeknownst to ourselves--the creator God, creating our own ill "fate" by imagining it!

The Abomination of Desolation is our sense of separation and division from God. Our bodies and brains are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the sense of division from God has no place there! To believe that we are separate from God is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, whose witness is: "Listen! O Israel, YHWH your God, YHWH--who is the Most High AND you, is the ONE made up of many" (Deuteronomy 6: 4).

The grievous sin of thinking that we are separate from God we must adamantly refuse, for never in eternity will God ever accept even the notion of division between him and us. Is it your sin? If you believe that God, the Lord or Jesus Christ is some thing other than yourself, then yes, yes it is. How can a man be less than deficient if he doesn't believe that Jesus Christ--God Almighty--is in him (Second Corinthians 13: 4-5)? And "in" means IS! 

In heaven, the “field” where we are pure awareness of being, what we want is exactly what we imagine. What we want for ourselves is to develop--from scratch--the moral character to make free-will choices for the good of all. So, as humans our conceptions of self will continue to get slammed by all the bad things we ourselves freely think . . . until we learn to believe what the Bible teaches about our Source's nature—the nature of the Most High . . . which is the “Law” (Principle) we are supposed to be following and conforming to (see Raymond Holliwell, Working With the Law). Once we can perform even an iota the Law in our heart (it has to do with attitudes--the church is 180 degrees off on Adam’s “fall,” our final submission/humility before God), then we can receive the Promise.

Human need is replaced with surpassing abundance (jethro/shua--"salvation") by the expansion of God, Yah, whom we are, not just in the harvest season but also in the instantaneous and miraculous. Our awareness of being is within us, as us, becoming more and more like the Most High God. This is the Gospel Moses proclaimed: "Ahiyeh Ashur hiyeh"--"By bright, flaming creative imagining, I become his becoming" (Exodus 3: 14, my personal take on Victor Alexander's translation of the Aramaic).

Imagine well, my friend, for you are becoming free in maturity, an independent individual who also just happens to be the One True God.

* It should perplex that there is so much said about Satan in the New Testament and so little in the Old. The Hebrew word for serpent, nachash, means to hiss, mutter or whisper, and carries the sense of fascinate and enchant; whereas the Chaldean means brass, copper--from the idea "to be bright." Note that the ancient pictograph for YHWH was the combination of a ram's head AND A SNAKE (together representing strength and wisdom--power that is conscious--and reflective BRIGHTNESS in the light of the Sun). Obviously, the ancient Semites didn't associate shining serpents with an evil being, but with God their savior!

Simmer down, simmer down. The word Satan does mean opponent, its root "to attack, to accuse," but who is doing what to whom? Adam, the life-giving consciousness with complete amnesia (forgetting his divinity in the "flip" from--here you go: from being the consciousness of God in a "sunflower" to being the ignorant consciousness of a rat) thinks that he or she is a body and is completely separated from God. Whereas we should be completely aghast at our nakedness, in our ignorance we are completely unashamed.

Moses never entertained the notion of a Satan other than the ignorance and doubt our own darkened minds. That is why he never spoke of one--our ignorance is the anti-Christ! The "serpent" who was "more subtil than any beast of the field" was the one who had made them . . . the wisdom of God imagined through us! Even with a conscience, our immature attempts of religion "step" on Christ's headship whenever we think that we are in some way separate from him. Stop stepping on the Truth of God.

The strength and wisdom to overcome the ignorance of forgetfulness is within us. This is the inner war we wage--the humility of laying down our own self-lordship before God is our objective. "How fully can you surrender and not be afraid?" (Frank C. Laubach, Open Windows, Swinging Doors).

 
What good things you want, still your mind in prayer and go back to your "sunflower" awareness of being, the simple, floating consciousness who is creating the world, and create what you want in your imagination there. You ARE the life-giving spirit of God, so imagine the holy things you desire there as had--complete and possessed--for you become their fulfilled end. Create your plan's outcome like we did in Genesis, and trust the infinite and Almighty God to bring it to pass. When it works, you know that you have found him--Christ in you, the hope of Glory.
