DeBorah and Simon Peter
Dan,
Thanks for clearing up and helping me understand the whole Black Irish situation, because I'd never heard that before now. No idea about what you're helping me to understand regarding the Bible. It is very disappointing because that means I have pretty much wasted time on all of the different versions of the Bible I have read as well as the eight to ten different denominations I have tried wow. Right now I just feel overwhelmed and confused, but in a good way I think.

DeBorah,
You are doing fine. All that reading and studying stoked your mind full of scriptures that will make more sense when they come to remembrance. There will be a lot of "Ah-ha." I was in seminary and church for nearly forty years before caught on to what God meant when he showed me how I became this man. I thought I was a man who was thinking. I realize now that I was God's thinking that became a man.
God is an intelligence. We are bits of that same intelligence without division from the whole. The church says we are wholly other than God. God says we wholly are God. We are here to fulfill the scriptures. We fulfill them by learning to be the man. The man is the manifestation of all God's attributes and characteristics. This is the "high calling." Big characteristics are faith, hope and love. My wife and I were reading 1st Corinthians 13 today (she uses it to point out my shortcomings). We don't see clearly now, but when that which is perfect has come -- when we have become the Man -- we shall know as we are known.
This is from "The Twelve Disciples" (http://realneville.com/txt/the_twelve_disciples.htm)
"The first quality to be called and disciplined is Simon or the attribute of hearing. This faculty, when lifted to the level of a disciple, permits only such impressions to reach consciousness as those which his hearing has commanded him to let enter. No matter what the wisdom of man might suggest or the evidence of his senses convey, if such suggestions and ideas are not in keeping with that which he hears, he remains unmoved. This one has been instructed by his Lord and made to understand that every suggestion he permits to pass his gate will, on reaching his Lord and Master (his consciousness), leave its impression there, which impression must in time become an expression.
"The instruction to Simon is that he should permit only dignified and honorable visitors or impressions to enter the house (consciousness) of his Lord. No mistake can be covered up or hidden from his Master, for every expression of life tells his Lord whom he consciously or unconsciously entertained.
"When Simon by his works proves himself to be a true and faithful disciple, then he receives the surname of Peter or the rock, the unmoved disciple, the one who cannot be bribed or coerced by any visitor. He is called by his Lord Simon Peter, the one who faithfully hears the commands of his Lord and besides which commands he hears not.
"It is this Simon Peter who discovers the I AM to be Christ, and for his discovery is given the keys to heaven, and is made the foundation stone upon which the Temple of God rests. Buildings must have firm foundations and only the disciplined hearing can, on learning that the I AM is Christ, remain firm and unmoved in the knowledge that I AM Christ and beside ME there is no savior."
The scriptures we have in faulty Bibles are not that far off. Mostly it has been our misreading what they do say that has confused us. You have seen those switch arms in railroad tracks? At that point the train can go onto either track. At the beginning of our Bibles we were going onto one set of tracks -- God was separate, created the physical universe, Devil deceived us, a lone man was going to come to save us, you get heaven or hell. Switch at the beginning to the other track -- God is the Ineffable's imagining, he has a plan to become fully manifest, he dives into this sphere becoming us becoming his manifestation. On track one we are to overcome the powerful archangel Devil and his hoards of demons. On track two we overcome our amnesia-caused ignorance and its bothersome thoughts and influences. Track one doesn't really exist, so let's switch to track two!
Come on, Lord, it is time for DeBorah to get up and get to work. Let's get her up!
