I Am Priceless

I Am Priceless

 

Years ago the awareness of my inability to truly love reached an all time high, which brought me to one of my all time lows until I realized it birthed the consuming desire to divinely love all always, which is the key to eternal life. Upon the wings of that desire, the instructions of how I could love this way began to flow from the Spirit and into my soul in a perfect orchestration that constructed new thought-forms within my soul consciousness. Ultimately, my soul needed to possess a consummate oneness with the divine consciousness, for only the divine consciousness produces divine love.

Since then, I’ve been in pursuit of the manifestation of this sublime oneness on all levels of consciousness. What I’ve perceived within my soul is the unfoldment of the most beautiful living love story that extends back to Genesis, which almost daily grows more beautiful.

We love our Creator, yet he loves us far more. The Supreme Divine Spirit continually leads us home (into his divine consciousness) until all are home.

My pursuit creates a humbling and enlightened path. It exposes every nook and cranny of my soul to the purest light, which burns away all that hinders divine love’s expression. This desire leads me deep into the planes of divine truth where divine love is revealed and defined. Consequently my inner awareness continually expands in truth and life, creating new thought-forms and birthing the divine consciousness in my conscious awareness.

In the past, I’ve written about how an inherent “lack of value” sits at the root of our self. (Our Core Issue Affecting All Else). Possessing this characteristic prohibits divine love because to manifest divine love is to act out of an infinite value for all, including yourself. Possessing infinite value is the result of giving and receiving divine love.

Infinite value is created by ever-expanding growth (life), which comes from the energetic vibrations of divine love flowing through us. Lack of value is created by the lack of growth (death); which also is doing the same thing over and over. If something is dead it produces no true growth, thus no true value. If something is continually growing then it produces ever-expanding or infinite value.

The Divine Self (manifestation of the Christ consciousness) is life. It continually gives and receives divine love. This love is the essence of its being, and what makes it grow and eternally alive. Therefore, inherent to the Divine Self is infinite value. Our shadow-self is unreal (dead). Its able only to imitate what it believes divine love to be – it can do no other.

Our shadow-self is formed out of the illusionary perception that we are separated from divine love. This forms a core belief that we are unworthy, rejected, unlovable, or somehow less than perfect. It is a state of consciousness we pass through, like a dream, in order to shape our conscious understanding of divine love. Therefore, inherent to the shadow-self is a lack of value and its corresponding lack of life (death). So, infinite value is an inherent quality of the Divine Self and a lack of value is an inherent quality of our shadow-selves.

Everything that our Creator does is purposeful and perfect and of infinite value. Though our shadow-self doesn’t create infinite value, its purpose is infinitely valuable. It allows our soul to learn the many characteristics of divine love that are revealed to our consciousness through our perceived imperfections.

When we are bound to the shadow-self in our mind, we are unable to manifest divine love, thus we experience an inherent lack of value. We can desire divine love, and learn about this love from the Spirit, but as long as we are unconsciously cloaked in the garments of our shadow-self we can’t manifest it. Therefore, it is only when we become conscious of the Divine Self that we can manifest divine love and possess infinite value.

Once our soul is prepared for this transformation (by obtaining the necessary thought-forms to manifest the divine consciousness), then our mind begins a monumental shift from serving the shadow-self to serving the Divine Self; which I’ve been talking about in my previous posts. The mind gains a new master, the Christ consciousness and the self-directed consciousness is dissolved. When this transmutation is complete, then infinite value and divine love are experienced and expressed through the soul, mind and body. The I Am is out-manifested on the plane of the senses bringing the divine consciousness to all realms of consciousness, thus into Creation.

Though I’ve struggled with my inability to love as I desire, it is what motivates me to pursue what my soul knows is true but what my flesh eyes don’t yet perceive. As each contrary thought is brought into my awareness and cast aside for the divine thought (our conscious part in our metamorphosis), an eternal light fills my eyes. This internal light awakens my soul to who I Am and that I Am an expression of the divine consciousness. It’s an awakening to what has always been (“the kingdom is at hand“). In the light, I Am divine love. I can be no other, for this divine love is all that truly exists. I perceive the Divine Self in all of creation. And in this light, the shadow-self and all the personalities and struggles it manifested fade as a dream in the morning light.

My contentment resides in the truth that my expanding awareness into the divine is our Creator’s workmanship in me, which end was accomplished at his first thought of it. His process of enlightening my mind is perfect. And as infinite value surmounts my thoughts, all of creation is lifted up in divine love.

There is only one Consciousness, one Mind, one Divine Self of which we are all a part. When this truth is our truth, this singleness of Mind is out-manifested into our mind, body and all that we perceive. These new garments cloak us in boundless joy; the reflection of our Creator’s out-manifested form.

Draped in the Divine Consciousness

Draped in the Divine Consciousness

 

We are each a phase of our Creator’s consciousness, thus a phase of each others’ consciousness.

Each aspect of “our world” (each living his/her simulated reality of his/her consciousness), every detail, situation, relationship, and personality is being used to create divine love in creation, thus making creation an expression of our Creator, who is love. In other words, our Creator is working through our consciousnesses to create divine love; thus integrate himself as the underling nature and power of Creation.

Divine love consists of many attributes. Some of its most beautifully profound characteristics are those that can not be understood except through the perspective of a perceived separation; divine love is merciful, transformative, unchanging, consistent, unwavering, constant, healing, regenerative, redemptive, uplifting, honoring, gentle, kind, giving, abundant, faithful, nurturing, comforting, unfailing, holy, and humble.

A perceived state of separation manifests a lower state of consciousness, which is initially unaware of divine love. This state enables an understanding of these attributes of divine love. Thus, this “lower” consciousness is used by our Creator, thus a phase of his consciousness, to manifest the fullness of divine love in Creation.

Once these qualities of divine love are received into the soul, then the consciousness of separation (which creates a separate “self”) is no longer necessary and can no longer exist.  In the consummation of this love, the soul awakens, as if from a dream, to its oneness with the Creator that has always been. It recognizes the divine consciousness within that has been manifesting itself through the use of the “lower” consciousness by creating an awareness of divine love. As this awareness grows in the soul, the soul methodically begins to express the divine consciousness by reflecting the Divine Self through its individuality. The divine love, now consciously known in the soul, removes all aspects of separation and brings the soul into a conscious state of oneness. In this awareness, the Creator manifests an expressed created form of his uncreated form.

The formation of divine love in creation is the Christ consciousness; a consciousness that manifests divine love and truth in a myriad of expressions. It’s the connection between the created and the uncreated (God’s infinite potential).

We are all a part of the divine consciousness, and always have been as divine love is manifested through our “lower” consciousness. It’s imperfection served to create a perfection beyond perfection or an ever-expansive perfection. Our soul’s journey serves to teach us of the many characteristics of divine love and then to awaken us to what has always been. We awaken as we perceive divine love and as our thoughts are renewed by this love (through the instruction of the Teacher within, prayer, meditation, and other spiritual practices that lift our consciousness into the Christ consciousness), which create this love in our experiential reality. Thus, we transition into a substantive oneness with the Divine Consciousness.

Our concept of a separate self shadows (hides) the open door to the Christ consciousness; the door which resides in the inner chamber of our soul. As we awaken to divine love, our lower self, which is created by the lower consciousness, dissolves to reveal the eternally open door (oneness) to the Christ consciousness. In this awareness, the Divine Self expands. Through the transformation of our mind (as it begins to serve the Divine consciousness), we experience the expression of the Divine Self or oneness. We perceive we are a phase or expression of the Divine Self, an expression of the Christ consciousness where all are united as one. I am a phase of you and you are are phase of me because we are all expressions of the divine consciousness.

In this dissolution of self; separation ends. Our eye becomes singular as his eye. It becomes full of light thus manifests the light.

In every phase of consciousness we experience, our Creator is working to manifest a reflection of himself; divine love. This understanding brings reconciliation, purpose, peace and meaning to all our phases of awareness. 

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Phil 2:13

The more we perceive of truth the more beautiful it becomes to us (one way we know we are aligning to truth). I see this expanding beauty in all that I’m perceiving and it drapes me in garments of praise. How grateful I am for the teachings of the Teacher within.

Mistaken Identity

Mistaken Identity:

The End of Separation

 

Space

Before I begin, I want to clarify a particular truth because the truths that this post references are very powerful when received into our soul. When we converse with our heavenly Father in a true communion, we encounter him soul to soul, for he is soul and without physical form. In this kind of communion, his soul impresses spiritual truths and his divine love directly onto our soul bypassing our personality housed in this flesh and all its limitations. Thus, we are able to receive deep understandings that surpass a limited human mind and language. Then later we attempt to put words to what we know. Thus, to truly grasp these truths, we must each connect to the Source of us, our Father, and receive them soul-to-soul. If you learn in this way, you know exactly what I mean. Further, you will understand I’m only touching the surface of many more beautiful truths that take our understanding much deeper.

As our soul perceptions awaken to the divine love of our heavenly Father, we accept that his love has always been with us. A separation between him and us never existed, only a perceived separation caused by the process of the formation of our individuality, which was needed for us to be able to receive and give love. As we reflect upon our memories and see them within the framework of his love, we realize he was always there hidden beneath our misunderstandings of who he is and who we are in relation to him.

The action or cause that created our soul into an individual soul expression, making you you and me me, originated with our Father. Thus, he is the first cause of our existence that led to a vast chain of cause and effects bringing us up to this present moment. But as it’s a chain and he the originator, his ultimate effect will be fulfilled, which is our being in a bond of immortal love with him and all of his creation. He is the beginning and the end of us and will fill all in all. His plans never fail, for he is the Creator.

Prior to our existence in this physical form, our soul was without individuality inhabited in the soul of God. He is the Creator of all, thus all originates and comes from him. This is why a longing for a connection to our Creator is so strong among humankind, and we all try in a myriad of ways and expressions to have that connection with him, which is truly beautiful when you think about it and in itself an expression of our individuality.

As we expand in divine love, we realize our connection with our Father was never severed or lost. In the formation of our individuality, thus a uniqueness of our own, we mistook our individuality as separation from Him. In this erroneousness belief, we acted as if we were separate, though it was always and only a perceived separation and not a true reality, but a reality of our crafting. Further, the erroneous teachings throughout history about who we are and who our Father is have kept us blinded to his true nature and thus his deep eternal love for us; a love that not even death can separate us from. True death is the belief in a separation from the love of our Father, yet that belief is only an illusion, for his love never fails. This is why death can be overcome and defeated; it’s not real.

Divine love never forsakes, never fails. It’s constant and immutable. It doesn’t wax and wane. It simply is. We took what we didn’t understand and made it into something it wasn’t – our individuality formation as a separation from our Father. Our forming individuality that occurs in this earth life and beyond is a required component for us to be able to truly love, for love is always voluntary.

Encapsulated in the reality of this physical environment, our souls are able to have a free will, thus individualization, that doesn’t disrupt all of the spiritual realms. It’s here that we grow like an embryo being fashioned in the enclosed watery darkness of the womb. Since love is completely voluntary, we started the beginning of our individualization with a point of “non-existence” in that we have no prior memory of being a part of God. Without individualization, we didn’t have the facilities of memory to contain that truth. This is how we were able to believe in a separation though one didn’t exist. And the belief in separation led to acting in error because of the inherent fear in separation, and so the cycle begins; a cycle that only an acceptance of divine love can deliver us from. Christ Jesus came to break this cycle, for he knows the perfection of divine love.

If humankind understood the purpose and nature of this existence, we would cease to spread our lack of awareness and perpetuate this perceived separation throughout the generations. But this seemingly erratic chain of events is purposefully worked into the design of our Creator. The original cause of us all comes from our heavenly Father, thus his intended effect will manifest, for his love never fails.

Free will gives us the ability to choose. Choice is what creates our uniqueness, thus individuality, thus our ability to know and give love. However, as we developed in our individuality through our free will choices and unique experiences, and believed in this perceived separation, we created all kinds of havoc; lies, fears, unworthiness, ugliness, and so on all manifesting from perceived separation. We weren’t aware of our true Source and the purpose of our physical reality – to shape our individuality through free-will and choice so that we could abide for eternity in a bond of true love. But our Father in his amazing faithfulness and perfection of original causality takes all our mishaps and creates something beautiful from them by a restructuring of our memories.

In a perceived separation and the following creation of temporary error, disharmony and harm that came from our free-will, we judged ourselves unworthy, unlovable and rejected by our heavenly Father. This was our judgment of ourselves in our lack of understanding of his love for us, a love we only realize when we accept that his love is here and always has been for each one of us. And when we extend our soul to that love by finding harmony with the truths of our Father, we realize separation was only an illusion of a developing personality.

It’s our memories fashioned in lies, which we held as true, that bind us to a perceived separation, for in this belief, we create the ramification of this belief (fear, pain, ugliness, rejection, lack of love) that strengths that belief. But as divine love fills our soul it dissolves all these effects, and emanates a light of truth instead of the darkness of separation, and our memories are cleansed. Our Father reshapes our understandings so that the hurts of the past that came from our perceived separation are dissolved. All that lingers is the beauty that came from them; understanding, compassion, humility, harmony with his will, and above all a knowing and abiding in his love, for now we are able to love.

Divine love gives us the knowing that we are and always have been our Father’s beloved child and that everyone is. But in creating the beauty of a sincere and true love, we needed our own individuality, thus, our journey into soul development, which began at our physical birth, and will continue to expand into eternity.

May we all realize we are and always have been adored children of our Father and know our true identity. In this knowing, we enter deeper into his love that is always there for us, and that love makes everything beautiful in its time.

Incense of the Heart

Incense of the Heart

A Prayer of Healing

space

A prayer for all the souls who have ever crossed by my path and who ever will.

May every person I’ve ever interacted with look back on the memories of me with them and feel a true care that I had for them, though at the time I may have had an inability to express it. Looking back to those interactions, may they fully realize and experience their own significance, an unchangeable inherent value. May they know the truth, that their soul essence is significant, valuable, and greatly loved by You, My Heavenly Father, for You have shown, taught, and opened me to this love to share. May they know they are a soul to be cherished, nurtured, honored, and protected. May this regenerated memory realign all other memories with all other people to the truth that they truly do have significance. May this penetrate their deepest awareness of their self. May they realize that people treated them the best they knew how from their own perception of their significance or lack of it. You, My heavenly Father, always gave me significance in my life that I only recently realized as I was blinded by the lie that I lacked this value. I give that same gift to every soul I have known, know and will know. Let this bring forth great healing by realigning their memories to this truth.
 
Now, I see the significance we hold. It has always been there, but it is we who lacked awareness of it. I had to first see my significance, before I could fully see others’. You opened my eyes, I pray their eyes are open as well. The fact that I see it in understanding and truth means it is real in them as it is in me. May they come to this deep awareness in the very core of their soul where the contrary lie abides. A lie formed by misinterpreting others’ projected insignificance onto themselves, and so it spreads through the generations. 
 
May we see each other in all clarity of divine love and realize a true care for each other. Lies manifesting fears are all that block us from this beautiful connection. May Your light dissolve every lie, and instill this beautiful truth in us.
space
The power and depth of this truth is beyond my ability to express, so may You translate this prayer’s deepest meaning to their hearts in the perfect way for their souls.

My Journey into Divine Love

My Journey into Divine Love

Space

I’ve sought truth for a long time and my journey into the ways of truth has led me into divine love. In this upside down world, this love is rare and a magnificent treasure. Diving into it has consumed me lately, for it’s part of the divinity of God that we receive and give. The more I learn of it and experience it; the more I desire it with every fiber of my being and for it to consume everything.

This weekend, it will be a year since I became a vegetarian, and in February of next year, a vegan.

Becoming a vegetarian bloomed out of the Holy Spirit’s instruction. Very briefly, I learned that to ascend to the realm of divine love, which is life-giving and contains no death, I couldn’t be a soul feasting on death, thus full of death, thus tied to the death realm. But a spirit feasting on life, thus full of life, thus connected to the realm of life.

As for becoming a vegan, I saw a documentary on the meat and dairy industry. It’s an industry full of cruelty with no care for the animals; an industry totally void of any kind of love. At that moment, in seeing images that still haunt me, I became a vegan. My spirit fully rejected the hell I was witnessing. And that spilled over into no leather, products tested on animals, and so on. Being a vegan, from the heart, is about love. It’s choosing love over convenience, habit, culture, tradition, or for a lustful taste that lasts a moment (which actually wasn’t the meat and dairy in itself, but all that was added to it, one of many lies.)

Since my awakening to divine love, I’ve stood amazed at my prior blindness and lack of love. I also am a bit amazed that the “religious” nation isn’t mostly vegan. If God is love, and they “serve” and “love” God, wouldn’t such clear acts of cruelty be absent from their lives, lives dedicated to a God of love? I’m amazed because so many profess to know God, yet don’t seem to know divine love. But this is what I’ve learned about divine love, we can only grasp it, if we allow it to become a part of us, that means a change from the inside out.

Since my exchange to feasting on life and not death, my understanding of divine love has exploded because I’m allowing divine love to move into my life. The understanding and experience of it is transforming my thoughts, desires, behaviors, words, and actions. It’s a whole new reality in which to dwell. It’s moving into the higher realm of the spirit where God abides and no longer of the lower realm of the carnal mind of mankind lost in darkness.

With the peeking of divine love into my life, this year has been one of significant purging of my mind and soul.  Divine love is the fire of God. It purifies us as we start to live by it because we can’t love and abide in blindness, suffering, cruelty, and death. There was grit and grim lining my soul I was unaware of, but when I choose to love God’s living creation with my life, I started a transformation that has blessed every aspect of my life. Divine love in a marriage is miraculous and beyond beautiful. Now, almost a year later of purging and renewal, it seems a new connection is being made by this divine love, a living connection in which I sense living waters can flow.

Divine love is love with a part of divinity. This love is received from the One who is truly divine, the heavenly Father. It’s a love that reflects the characteristics of His divinity.

To move into divine love, we have to desire it. It’s gentle. Divine love is like a dance between two entities. It’s a give and take of a fluid movement. It never forces itself upon another, but is given as it is received, and received as it is given.

Divine love is holy. Thus to be able to receive it and give it, we have to be purified in our souls that we may be connected to it. A corrupt mind can’t produce loving thoughts, thus actions. A corrupt soul can’t hold purity, thus give it.

Divine love is life. In it there is no death, because it creates perfect righteousness.

It’s liquid light.

It’s like liquid because it’s like water, which is like spirit. Spirit is contained within the human soul, like water is contained in a body. Like water, when we possess this divine love we can give it to another, it’s a cup of living water to another soul. It’s living because it is coming from God’s divinity, which is life. But like a cup of water, it must be received and taken in. As a cup of water can be rejected, so can divine love. We have to desire it to receive it. That means we have to be willing to be changed by it. This means making changes in our lives, lifestyle, and choices.

It’s light because it’s a reflection of the character of God; pure, undefiled, holy, righteous, perfect, and of spirit and truth. By it, we have eyes of light and see with the right perspective, thus respond with a higher love to situations and people. It contains no darkness, no emptiness, and no lack, thus no fear. Love of the human realm is full of fear because it’s full of lack; lack of true care. Divine love is the only love that fully drives out fear in every area, because it contains no lack as it cares perfectly.

This type of love only comes from our perfect heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit. It comes through the Holy Spirit, for He is the spirit that purifies our souls by truth. The Holy Spirit is a spirit that if we desire truth, will come to us and instruct us. And because truth is grounded in divine love, we learn about love.

In this purification by the truth, we are able to connect to this divine love; to give and receive it. With a pure mind and soul, we can be connected to the Holy Heavenly Father in divine love.  We receive as a part of our soul, His perfect love for us. And we love Him with all our mind, soul, heart, and strength as our lives are changed in accordance with His love, our minds function by this love, and all we do serves this love.

Once purified, we fully receive the love that God desires to give us. In this we are completed, filled, and never lacking, thus without fear.

In this connection, we can truly confess to the Most High that “we love each other” in all sincerity and truth. There is nothing more powerful than when we can say these four words to another out of divine love, especially God. It is the fluid connection expressed in the infinity symbol; two spheres (spirits) coming together at a point of perfection, divine love, between each other. In this connection, eternal life exists.

In this joining, we truly become children of the Most High. We receive a connection to the fount of living waters, liquid light. And, we become of the light to give the light.

I have much to learn, but is there any way better that to receive and give divine love?

How do you “see” God?

How do you “see” God?

Space 

Do you “see” the true God? How do you know? He is invisible and spirit, so what we “see” and experience is actually our understanding of His nature. We see His reflection, in our lives and in creation, and that reflection is based on our particular and individual understanding. Our understanding makes up our image of Him. Our image in turn defines what we see. Do you see the circular effect of this and the problem it holds? Our image determines what we see, thus how we believe Him to be, which comes from our original understanding. And the question is where did that original understanding come from? So, how do we know we have the right understanding, thus the right image? Especially in a world of many people holding many different images?

The pure in heart will see God. Matthew 5:8 The pure in heart have the right understanding of the nature of God because their path to purity taught them to “see” Him correctly. Understanding and obtaining true purity only comes from One more pure.

This truth that the pure in heart will see God is why religions and religious people seek to portray an outward pure or holy persona. Many dress up the outward to fool others and even themselves of their piety, but it’s the purity of the heart that allows us to “see” God. If we are drawing near to the true God, we are growing more and more pure from the inside out.

The pure in heart is one who seeks, practices, abides and gives divine love. God is perfect love. Only by living by and for divine love do we know what it is. Thus it must be lived, not just talked about. When we start living it we start “seeing” the true nature of God, for God is love.

Becoming Pure in Heart

We come to this purity through grace and wisdom by being faithful disciples of Truth, the Word, our internal counselor, shepherd, and overseer of our soul. To become pure in heart is a very personal journey, this is why we can’t learn about God from another. If we do, we will hold a false image instead of a true image. We learn about love from within. Someone can describe love, but to truly know love, we have to become an expression of it in truth and sincerity. Within our soul is where we learn about divine love and how to live in it. The only Teacher who can penetrate those depths is the spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit. Love is only known when it is lived.

The path of purification is a long, winding and arduous road, because this world is corrupt and we are born with corrupt natures. Matthew 7:14 If we truly hunger for the true God and truth, His spirit of truth takes us on an intense schooling through our life situations that purify, purge, and change us in many ways before we can give anything close to this divine love. In this love there is no resentment, bitterness, envy, jealously, contentions, pride, backbiting, judging, self-pity, lusts, vengeance, cares for this world’s ways, or temptations counter to the nature of divine love. It’s full of mercy, forgiveness, beauty, true wisdom, understanding, long suffering, patience, compassion, care, kindness, gentleness, humility, meekness, peace, which extends far beyond our personal cares to the care of others. To go through this exchange in our soul is becoming a new creation altogether. Nothing stays the same. We have to be remade and re-born of a different spirit. Until, we are no longer an offspring of corruption, but an offspring of purity.

If we start to seek and engage this divine love, we learn it requires a great purity of mind, heart, soul and life, for it’s of holy ground, for it’s the nature of the heavenly Father. This is why few find this path; it’s a very pure path, thus contrary to most of the world’s ways. As we journey this purification path, the understanding that comes from growing in this love creates the right understanding thus “image” of God, His nature and ways.

Along this narrow path of ever-increasing purity through purging and renewing, we are brought to a point of having sold all (all that is contrary to divine love) in order to obtain the pearl of infinite worth, entrance into the kingdom of God. We sell (abandon) all the lusts, cares, and temptations of the world as we learn the superiority, beauty and perfection of the ways of God and the absolute joy they bring. The pure words of our Teacher and High Priest, Christ, replace the lies that once governed our beliefs, thoughts and actions, and we are now governed by the truths of God. Thus, our minds and spirits are cleansed exuding the likeness of a beautiful pearl. John 17:17 This purity allows us to slip through the very narrow gate to the realm of the divine. Purity opens the gate at the end of the narrow path to “see” God. And it is through this gate that prayers ascend to the ears of God and are most powerful. 1 Peter 3:12

The pure in heart are the ones who “see” God. These, who once lived as children of disobedience as all of mankind, are the ones who are purified by the fire (the truth). They are free from corrupt desire, sin, and guilt. 1 John 3:9 They are blameless and holy in conduct. Ephesians 1:4-5 Above all they abide in divine love. 1 John 4:7

Suppose you learn and start to live according to this divine love. What you realize is that God is not here in the earth, because if He was this would be a very pure and holy place. There would be no suffering, cruelty, pain or sorrow. There would be healing, beauty, and eternal life. God not being here is why so many images of God exist in the minds of people. There is nothing to tell the masses what He is or isn’t. We individually can know His divine love, but having an understanding versus abiding in His fullness thus power are two very different realties. Though I believe the former precedes the latter.

This is why we yearn for the coming of His spirit. Divine love is real, we can taste its goodness in our lives by understanding. This is a love not of our own making, but something much higher and pure than mere human nature. It goes against our basic primal nature we are born with, yet it is the supreme desire of our soul. It’s our desire, because we are made with a desire for our Creator, for love wants to abide in love with all of His creation. His love beckons us to draw near to be a part of His nature, and if we answer the call then our spirits ascend to places we never knew we could go, and eventually unto eternal life. If we were all pure, we would hold one image, and the right one. This is the work that Christ came to do and will finish; it is His glory to behold, and gift to the Father of All. Hebrews 12:2 

You become pure in heart.

Come Up Here: A Self-Perfecting Mind

Come Up Here: A Self-Perfecting Mind

Space

The earth is knocking on the doors of a universal shift. This shift takes us from one age into the next by the awakening of the human mind to a higher level of consciousness or awareness. Awareness is understanding. The awareness is heightened as souls are drawn into the vortex of the Creator’s loving presence. This “drawing in” is a choice for each soul, which arouses from a living faith. Faith is choosing to act on particular beliefs because we trust they will lead to our desires, which when in truth is living. A choice based on our understanding not our current state (sight).

Awakening to this higher frequency of thought means our perceptions are dramatically altered. We begin to see through the spirits of God. (Rev 4:5)

We are not bystanders in this cosmic event. Instead, we affect the timing of our transforming mind by choosing to posses a self-perfecting mind. It’s a mind that prepares and brings us gracefully into the next age. Our mind is a myriad of interworking networks and frameworks determining how we perceive the world and respond, like a collage of algorithms. All our behaviors follow a set of processes and systems determined by how our thoughts are networked together. Our current functions are marred and dysfunctional, thus the need for a renewal. Much like an algorithm that doesn’t produce the right results, our current consciousness doesn’t produce the right results. Therefore, we must choose to have a mind of self-perfecting algorithms. This simply means we choose to grow in goodness, in doing the “right” thing, and in emanating loving kindness to all creation. We choose to love at all times in all situations. If this is our path, our Creator, who has the capability to re-wire our mind, will individually lead us in this endeavor by teaching us through our mistakes thus ever expanding our understanding and awareness, thus self-perfecting.

This governing desire over all our actions opens up our mind to increase in understanding and expand into an abundant reality, for this is the result of acting in truth/love. It’s a mind that allows God’s power to manifest within it because we seek to align to His perfect spirit. Seeking creates upward movement in our thoughts and pulls us out of pre-defined “boxes” of thinking that blind us to a downward path instead of upward. Boxes formed by tradition, religion, culture, societal ways, and convenience. A mind fixed upon seeking truth/love leads the soul out of the “boxes” that keep it from ascending.

In this transforming mind, new perceptions feed new choices that feed further new perceptions. It’s a winding staircase upward.

In the awakening mind, one of the first perceptions to change is how we perceive all living creatures. We start to see them from a perception crafted by a Creator who designed them in perfection. Thus, creations to be loved.

In this understanding, we choose to love them at all times. Souls choose love when they have the faith that if they act in loving ways it will produce good results as well as the fulfillment of their desires.

A fundamental characteristic of love is that is voluntary for the giver and receiver. It isn’t forced upon either, but something that must be willingly given and received. The nature of this tender affection is that it’s gentle, meek, and patient, and in its fullness there is nothing more powerful. (The power comes from Truth, which it is tightly intertwined with. Truth consists of the spiritual laws that create a harmonious interacting reality.) This is why “come up here” is an appropriate description, for we must choose to ascend to this new level of comprehension, for to love is a choice.

This call to “come up here” has been heavy on my soul; to let go of the world systems sown by mindsets counter to love and to arise to a superior level of human existence and experience. This ascension comes by a deeper and more full-body understanding of the characteristics of a reality derived from truth and love. Basically, it’s an increased desire to abide in loving kindness toward all of creation all the time because you see the superiority of it in every way. To abide in love is to abide in the loving Creator’s wisdom. Again a choice is made to traverse a path of this infinite wisdom and leave the limited and self-serving imaginations of mankind behind.

Consider all the ways you act, decide, chose, and respond to life’s situations. Now consider choosing to do all these in a way that is most caring for all involved.  How would that change your choices, reactions, words, and persona?

Because our loving all-knowing Creator creates love and truth as an inseparable unit, the kindness we give is established on understanding. We elect to respond a certain way because we’ve learned it is truly good. As we learn to respond in loving-kindness from our mistakes, our understanding of how to be kind and caring in all sincerity increases. This is possessing a self-perfecting mind, a mind that learns and grows from its mistakes guided by the inner counsel of the Spirit of Truth.

If we seek to abide in increasing love and truth, God will guide us faithfully. To encounter God, who is spirit, is to encounter an intimate instructor in your thoughts, penetrating to your most hidden thoughts, on how to be a creation that gives and receives divine love.

The desire to love rightly to all, in all situations, and all the time propels a mind into a self-perfecting mind. Below are three interwoven fundamentals to the algorithms of an ascending mind:

  1. You choose to do what is kind and caring to all creation at all times in all situations. You aren’t bound by tradition, habits, and convenience. The question always lingers; how would you want to be treated?
  2. You “see” every living creation as significant. You lift none above the other. You honor all equally. There is no self-exalting (pride, arrogance, haughtiness) over another based on gender, race, income, culture, family, heritage, status, vocation, appearance, type of creation (animal, etc), religion, etc. You honor all. Especially the weak the meek who need it most of all.
  3. You love beyond yourself.  An inferior love cares for only what it is affected by, but divine love cares for all, whether one is deemed personally affected or not by that entity. True understanding is realizing we are all effected by what is done to any part of creation. We are all connected. Thus we never treat another poorly even though we “think” we aren’t directly affected.

Love is a choice. For those who make this choice and learn of divine love, they are awakening in their understanding to new realities far superior in every way.

Numbering Our Days

Numbering Our Days

Seeking after the Heart of God

 

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 

Psalm 90:12

During our lifespan on earth, a segment of our eternity, we each have a very significant purpose, but the question is do we fully understand what that purpose is? Or how to achieve it?

Everything we sow of the physical reality of life perishes, but what we sow of the spiritual reality moves with us into eternity AND it is what moves us into eternity. There is no greater purpose than to seek after the eternal in the fabric of our lives, which when all characteristics and ways are combined can be articulated in one word, God, the eternal Father/Maker of us all. Proverbs 23:17-21

It’s our highest purpose to seek to bear the image of the heavenly man crafted by the hand of God, verses the image of the man of dust crafted by our own hand.  1 Corinthians 15:4

God is love. His presence is veiled from this earth because the vessels to hold His spirit have yet to be cleansed, purified and prepared to hold a holy, pure and loving spirit, though Christ came to bring us behind the veil. His home in this world is in us. Thus, we must be made ready to contain such a spirit. The minds and ways of many souls are contrary to His righteousness care, some unknowingly and some willingly, therefore unable to unite to Him.

The worlds’ web of lies has blinded us to what true loving kindness is and its supremacy in the nature of God. It has corrupted our vessels by corrupting our minds so we don’t know or recognize this love. This is why we must seek for it. To find love or any attribute of God, we have to become a part of it – that is the only way we know it. This is how it is with spiritual realities. The knowing is in the becoming. Otherwise they remain hidden and we exist outside of them in darkness and coldness.

If we choose to seek to learn and grow by spiritual understanding and by the attainment of divine characteristics, then we begin our journey to be joined to Him. If we remain in our contrary ways, we remain distant from Him, thus from love itself. Understanding our role as a loving caretaker of the animal kingdom is an essential key to unlocking the love of God in our lives, because it is how He is with us. Because we affect the animals daily with our choices and actions, our care for them begins a daily ripple effect of the love of God in our reality. This truth is key to becoming love. When we begin to possess the spirit of the Eternal, we live in love. Our ability to love in righteousness is a testimony of our connection to God, thus eternity. So how we spend our limited time on earth is very significant.

Time is constant, unchanging, beyond our control, and simply is as long as the earth spins as it does. Our belief in time doesn’t make it exist or not. Time is a reflection of the sovereignty of God, for He created time.

If we put our time in His hands we do well, if we try to control and manipulate it ourselves, we cause much harm.

As the foundations of the earth shift with the incoming righteous reign, our perception of time will change. In trying to control time, we haven’t trusted the Creator, and as a result we have created destruction and made this earth desolate. As wickedness loses its prosperity, we won’t be able to control our future like we have done in our self-will and this will turn many lives upside down. Right now the present moment is fleeting as most dwell in the past or the future.  But, God abides in the present and when we fully trust Him so do we.

The past no longer exists and the future grows out of the present. However, most try to re-live the past and try to control their future. The two main reasons for this are fear and lust, both of which I’m finding are the undercurrent to most our actions and choices, however small or large those fears and lusts may be. In trying to protect ourselves from harm, a mindset driven by fear, we propagate the very harm we don’t desire as we try to create a future without fear. In this, we cease to love. In trying to fulfill our desires, through lusts and not kindness, we cease to love.

To change the future to something desirable, we must change what we are doing in the present. But, to change the present without the wisdom of eternity of God who knows every ripple effect to every action is to create a future that hurts and harms instead of loves.

A key to coming to know God is seeking to stop manipulating time; specifically the past and the future, which we do in many ways, and seek to know Him in our present moment and learn to abide there. Further, we come to know the heart of God, who is love, when we are set on seeking and abiding in His perfect love for all of His creation today, in our present moment.

1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done with love.

To seek God is to seek what it means to truly abide in loving kindness in all areas of our life. Without this perspective, we’ll never find the heart of God but empty realities that leave us alone, afflicted and broken. If we seek Him with all our heart, soul and mind, loving kindness is where He leads us. Until we set our hearts on knowing true kindness and acting according to its ways and not our fears and lusts, we’ll know endless repeating days in the shadow of death. May we not forget our first love, love itself, for God is love. Jesus came to remind us that love is supreme.

Let love be the qualifier for all you do. May our purpose be to seek God who is the unity of truth and love and live in Him in today.

Proverbs 23:12 Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. 

Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding. 

Proverbs 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If you have found it, there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off.

A Great Shout Arises

A Great Shout Throughout the Land:

Sounding  a Trumpet

A cry is going up to Almighty God. It’s so loud; it’s all I hear.

How can one have peace when others are in torment?

The heavenly Father’s love is rising in this earth, but it’s not appearing as most think … While it’s the morning star of the Creator’s spirit arising in those awake, it’s falling upon those asleep.

With a belly swelling with increasing wickedness, the earth has opened her mouth to her Creator pouring out a great smoke full of torments. Lifted to His ears are the cries of the innocent, poor in spirit, neglected, abused, forsaken, and of the silent sufferers. It’s now time for Him to act. Their Creator is arousing to heal and restore as the yelps of the tormented billow up to His ears.

A supernatural spiritual blindness hoovers over mankind. The dawning of the New Day will awaken the sleepers with a voice of a trumpet sounded in the midst of their souls. Awake for He arises from His Holy Habitation with healing in His wings expelling all wickedness.

The cries are the loudest from the voiceless. Those tormented day and night at the expense of the lusts of mankind and their merciless governance. They have been treated as insignificant and as objects to fulfill the lusts of the belly. They’ve been abused and counted as nothing for greedy gain. The abomination of the daily sacrifice of their lives at every meal has become full-grown. By His own hand, their Creator will release them from their prisons; the hands of cruelty.

Mankind is blind to what they create. They’ve created a tortuous place in which they torture those deemed less then themselves, and in doing so they perpetuate their own misery and suffering. Do to others as you desire to be done to you. Luke 12:35-48, Matthew 18:21-35 They cruelly treat others “lower” than themselves and forget that they too are beasts seeking for the mercies of God; One who tells us to treat others as we would want to be treated. Should we seek His mercy for our suffering, and yet not offer the same to those we have been given governance over, especially the animal kingdom? People forget the animal kingdom belongs to God and that He put us in a place to be faithful loving stewards of creations of His affections. But we have made them the object of our feasts, lusts, celebrations, greed, and slaves serving a very harsh and thoughtless master. Sound familiar? This is one HUGE area greatly dismissed by many when they consider the everlasting kingdom of heaven coming to earth, but God has not forgotten. Isaiah 65:25

God is not arousing with torments in His wings as we have done and imagined. His ways are far superior to our beastly ways. He does what we didn’t do, love. Anyone who knows the love of God knows it’s far greater and more powerful than force and brute strength. It’s a power that burns as a refining fire on the inside to create something truly new inside and out.  Those who know the heavenly Father also know His greatest power flows through weakness and love.

While perfect love drives out fear, its mirror reflection in an un-renewed heart is shame. Jeremiah 31:19 In the face of His love, sin feels like intolerable shame that we can’t escape from until we let go of what is causing the shame. His love serves a a mirror and exposes the cruelty of our own hearts, which creates an overwhelming shame thus a desire to “hide” ourselves. Yet, in these last days there will be nowhere to hide as all that is hidden is being brought into the light. To hide from our own flesh only causes the shame to intensify. Shame is what we experience that leads to repenting and turning to love. Our flesh will no longer hide the abominations within. Numbers 11:20, Revelation 16:2 Since it is our flesh we serve,  it will show the truth of our true nature. Jeremiah 31:9

In the lusts and vanities of the world, the animal kingdom is overlooked to such an extent that few consider their endless hell created and perpetuated by mankind. How can one expect mercy on his “beastliness” if he is unwilling to give it to another for a fleeting craving? This contradiction is one of the greatest delusions of our time. It’s a great abomination as it is the expression of hell, torments, and the beast nature of man, thus his “markings” that he is a beast verses a son of God, who is love. Removing this abomination of cruelty in our lives allows our spirits to ascend as sons/daughters of God, otherwise we remain as we are. Further, it’s a reflection of the abomination of desolation for we have attributed a horrific reality that we created as an acceptable reflection of and offering to a loving Creator, who knows every sparrow. Jeremiah 7:21-23

Our healing and renewal is deeply connected to creation’s healing. We are all intertwined as God’s creation. For the days that lay ahead, I believe this is one of our first signposts … will we treat the animal kingdom as we desire God, who is far superior, to treat us?  Jeremiah 31:21 In abundant mercy, loving-kindness and care? Will we cease to torment them for the vain lusts of our bellies and our greed for the money made by them? Will we show that we have learned what it is to love the weaker vessels as we desire God to love us? Or will be as the Israelites when they lusted for meat in the wilderness when headed to the promise land? Numbers 11:33-34 

God cares deeply for His creation. He will deliver all from those stronger then they. He gave us charge over it. How have we handled such an awesome responsibility and gift? He is coming to see how we have managed our house. Will He find mercy? Or mercilessness? During my time with Him this past month, He has taught me many layers of understanding in this area. Our healing is connected to a healing heart toward creation. We can’t continue to embrace cruelty and be freed from our own suffering. We can’t continue to feast on death, dead flesh, and what is sown in darkness and be transformed into spiritual living beings of light.

Arise my heavenly Father from Your Holy Habitation and let Your love and righteousness break forth in this earth, Your creation needs Your love, for it has not known the true nature of Your love.

The Shining

The Shining of the Saints

 

This post is a bit longer … but if you can receive the words, you are embarking upon great freedom and power that will enable you to shine.

In the coming days, those who have been uniting to the Father, thus partaking of the divine nature of the heavenly Father, will increase in their illumination; a radiance of the heavenly realm. Their shining is His spirit being made manifest in the earth.

Their light is the expression of the spirit of the Father flowing through their loving righteous words and actions. It’s the aura of the divine encircling their lives, and extending itself to others in sincere love and the establishment of harmony.

To fully unite with the heavenly Father entails receiving His perfect love within us as a part of us to such a degree that we able to give it to others. Initially this may seem like a relatively simplistic task, because many falsely claim to possess it. But to hold and extend the pure perfect love of the heavenly Father; thus to receive the perfect love of the Father is a personal climb. It comes from an intimate communion with God, which allows Him to reconstruct our soul in holiness to embrace His spirit. It’s each individual’s pilgrimage out of the prison of lies and false images of God Himself to the ascension of the mind to a new frequency, a reality of which the only current to ride upon is His righteousness.

Binding Lies

In the depths of us are core lies we initially received as truth into our soul, thus they are very true and real to us. These core lies prohibit the full acceptance of the perfect love of God that we must receive from Him – to such a degree that we are able to give it others. Acting in accordance to His love isn’t just a concept in our minds, but a reality in our lives. This pouring out of love, established upon truth, is a significant aspect of the shining of the holy ones; the ones who have been purified by the refining fire of the heavenly Father.

There is one of two lies that reside in the depths of people’s souls:

1. They are worthless, of no value, and insignificant.

2. They are hated and unloved.

Both of these are grounded in rejection and intertwined with one another, though most have felt one stronger than the other. These lies, and their variations and cohorts, create a vast emptiness in the souls of mankind. These core lies spawn many allies that create a locked-down reality of destitute poverty in the soul. They keep us tied and bound to death. These lies destroy us inside out.

They manifest great torments, pain, and suffering to others and ourselves. Many have spent their lives, mostly unknowingly, trying to cover these lies by convincing themselves they are worthy and loved. They have gone to great lengths to serve (worship) “acceptable” images they deem worthy and deserving of love. The lies have manifested numerous damaging and hurtful behaviors and decisions. They’ve entrapped people to worldly idols, self-righteousness, hypocrisy, addictions, depression, false images of God, abusive conditions, self-hatred, cruelty to others, and the list goes on.

THEY ARE LIES.

Each one of us, where truth exists, is greatly loved and valued. However like a seed of a glorious flower buried in mud and slim, we’ve been covered by the actions and words those lies have created. In our belief of these lies, our unique and precious value has been hidden. The soil we abide in has to be “tilled”, so that seed can bud into what it was created to be.

Tilling the Soil

These lies are the heavenly Father’s deepest concern. It’s His utmost desire for them to be revealed and destroyed because they keep us from a deep pure connection with Him. The lies block our soul from becoming His home; thus from Him creating our reality as His reality. He is love. To be united to Him in a true oneness, we must always abide in His love. Though His love has been there, until we fully receive it into our soul in truth and understanding; it’s not fully our reality. Thus, we are not yet His home. When we are His home, we are His light.

Defeating Our Enemies

To defeat these enemies of our soul, first the heavenly Father teaches us that these are lies and not truth, in concept. However, as our lives continue to testify that the lies are real because of all the poor actions and treatments we experience, the path to defeat has only just begun. Because they are at our very core, plucking of them out of our soul for good comes through a spiritual battle.

God is love.  When He comes to put all things under Christ’s authority, He is coming in the weakest of vessels, us, for His strength is made perfect in weakness. He is coming with living light (refining fire), which is the flowing stream of His righteous love through His saints.  The fullness of His love is beyond this world and always has been until the end of days, when those capable of holding such light receive His fullness. His perfect love contains all that He is (just, holy, pure, righteous, long suffering, gentle, powerful, mighty, humble, gracious, merciful) and thus of the most potent perfect power.

As the heavenly Father comes to make His abiding place in us, before we receive His perfect love born out of His divine character, we will have to battle these lies and this is how.

The Support of Righteous Acts (Bona Fide Faith)

In seeking the truth, the Christ, the Teacher, instructs us how to live in righteousness in our individual lives. We follow His directives by the understanding we gain from our intimate conversations with Him. Those instructions create certain actions/words. Those actions reflect the truth learned and our reality shows the results, fruit. For example, we act in love without hypocrisy, thus our relationships are true and life-giving. We possess a giving mentality versus taking, thus we have abundance for every good work. We return good for evil, thus the harm intended is replaced with increased growth and blessing. We bless and not curse, thus we help others to see the truth. We honor ourselves and others, thus we cultivate trustworthy relationships. We cease to lust for the contrived images of the world, thus we love others and ourselves in honor and truth. We treat others and creation with kindness and respect, thus we have increasing health and peace in our reality. We trust God in all matters of justice and don’t seek personal vengeance (inc. unforgiveness, anger, bitterness, resentments, etc), thus we receive abundant mercy in our lives. All our acts are of sincerity flowing from our heart, which is being infused with His light/truth, versus trying to conform our lives to some godly or good image. Our lives are a true and real reflection of a heart being transformed by the handiwork of God’s truth within it. Our lives, full of His ways, are writing the Book of Life; a book of living, life-giving acts ordained and governed by our personal internal interaction with the heavenly Father.

Spiritual Battling of Victory

Then, comes the battle. From our depths those lies come against full force. In the midst of the battle as those lies are raging against us, we look to our lives, the Book of life, and it testifyies that those lies are indeed lies and not truth. Instead of seeing a witness to the lies in our lives, we see a witness to a heart growing in pure love as testified by the righteous fruit born out of sincere love. When the contrast of the lie and the reality are before us; the lie, though fighting for its existence, is consumed in truth.

The lies have to be exposed, and then they can be rooted out. They are rooted out by God’s word in us backed by the witness of the sincere acts of righteous love (faith) in our lives. If we had no witness in our lives to the contrary, how would we truly know the lies weren’t true? Our obedience to the whisperings of Christ provided the ammunition we needed for those lies to be destroyed. If our lives testify to a changed heart, the lies are destroyed in this battle. If our lives testify to those lies, then the lies continue to consume us, and the perfect love of the Father is blocked from entering into our soul. A lie is truly destroyed when it is no longer reflected in our reality.

Faith without works is dead, unable to help in this battle.

Our victory over the world of lies, thus death, is our faith.

The righteous loving acts, coming out of faith, swallow up the lies. When they are swallowed up, we are enable to receive the perfect indwelling love of the heavenly Father. This indwelling love is the source of the light that shines into the world.
