Because This is God

I am not anxious for much. I do not worry, because this is God. This existence/experience is, in fact, the Ineffable: the Ineffable pushed out. Not this, the stuff out in front of me, but this, all stuff all around INCLUDING me, my existence and experience. And you. (Hi.) All things at all times everywhere in all forms and dimensions are God, the consciousness of the Ineffable, imagining. He is Eil, the Shaddai, the Almighty Provider, and YHWH, He Who Causes To Be. So why should I worry? He is causing THIS to be, HIMSELF!

I have many times referred to the meaning of the name Israel as explained by Ethelbert Bullinger in The Companion Bible, in his note on Genesis 32:28 (page 59 of the Genesis pdf). The head-knocker element in his explanation is that God, Eil, is the DOER of the verb/action part of the name, isra. Jacob, the inner spirit man of the carnal body Esau had been sent by his father Isaac, "Laughter," to become enlightened in imagination. It is graduation time, and the carnal body is being reunited with the powers of the spirit. In SLEEPLESS, EMOTIONAL DESPERATION Jacob puts all he knows in grappling for change. "Your name will not be called again Jacob, except Israel, because you have been validated with the angel and with man and you could strength" (Genesis 32:28 Alexander's note).

This was a real change of state for what had been Jacob, the Contender. He had "strengthed." That was his sleepless night of intense wrestling with God. Yes, the word isra may mean to struggle or wrestle, but its primary meaning is to become fully upright of what had been liquid. Huh? Think of a drooping flower, bush, or tree. It needs water, for it is dying of thirst. Now think of it well watered, full, upright, and flourishing. GOD DID THAT IN JACOB, and made Jacob's stuff Eil Commanding. I.e., God DID it. I like that place; this place. This is God. This is God DID it.
