The Enbloomed Anointing of the Original Mind Through Teaching

The Pentateuch, in the Book of Exodus (Liberation), opens with Moses. The Gospels of Jesus Christ start with John. These two were teachers. Let's throw in Paul and Peter, two other teachers, and the prophets. Teachers, specifically learning from teachers, is the way we get the anointing which opens us up to the fact that we are Jesus Christ, YHWH -- God the Father.

I take for my text the Season of Grace (the actual, historic event). Jeremiah and Daniel said it was coming, how long it would last, and when it would begin and end. And, for that matter, what it would accomplish. Cyrus was God's anointed to begin it. Seventy sevens (weeks of years) of grace would follow (and they did), culminating in an anointing, a Messiah. Many in early first century Palestine, knowing that the culmination was approaching, withdrew to serious study and discipline, to prepare themselves for what God was about to do.

Witness that we see and experience an old world, which is the basis of our worldview. Learning to read the Bible perceptively presents us with a radically different world. This old world is still working, we are in it, but we see that something else -- radically different-- is going on. We get the seeing from the teaching. And lo and behold, the "something else" that is going on becomes real and active to us. It did for them.

I believe in Jesus Christ, but I understand him differently than most. Jesus Christ is YHWH ("Jehovah") acting in man, perceptively and teaching (sorry about the grammar). Teaching, specifically learning from teaching, takes us higher. Moses and John were good teachers; God is, too.

But for all the teaching, God is after learners. God was presenting a sign during the Season of Grace; there was a special emphasis upon the learners. They became especially perceptive and good teachers. They performed miracles, prophesied, and countered the religious ritualists and hypocrites. They were "Jesus Christ." From a distance they appear to be just one man, but up close, "he" is multitudes. He is also a reality, a spiritual reality whose anointing can enbloom in us as we join him -- and them -- through learing what is taught in the scriptures, believing what it says, and receiving the "something else's" reality and activity.

That reality is the original mind within us. That is YHWH, or Elohim, or Ashur, the Imagination of the Ineffable, Allaha, or whatever else you want to call it. God. Consciousness. The Ineffable is dreaming each of us, and to become more like the dreamer (the Ineffable), the "Man" Jesus Christ -- all of us -- left the awareness that we had and became unaware, "crucified" upon these human bodies. The story in the Bible is the story about what had happened from the foundation of the world. Jesus Christ truly died for the sins of the world when we became us.

So we have the original mind within us, but we are unaware of it. Learning from good teachers enblooms the anointing God would have us have to open our awareness like the examples we have in the Season of Grace, to make us perceptive and good teachers ourselves. Noble, gracious, patient, benevolent, loving, kind, helpful -- all the good stuff. And teaching not history and ritual and dogma, but the "something else," and how to exercise faith in assumption as prayer. This is living "Aramaicly," according to the scriptures.

It is for this reason I consider myself to be a former Western Christian, and now a member of the Ancient Aramaic Church, the Church built not with hands. (Even in this I am on the heretical fringe, for Victor Alexander does not yet buy into my spread-out Jesus theory). Wherever and whatever you are, seek to learn to live "Aramaicly," and receive that anointing.
