Dawning of a New Day

Dawning of a New Day

 

As the soul awakens to the supra-conscious mind, it experiences divine trust followed by divine forgiveness. These attributes originate from the supra-conscious and equip the soul to operate in accordance with the supra-mind’s purposes. Together these Spirit attributes enable the layering of perfect divine potentials in the soul’s reality. As these potentials build layer by layer, the soul becomes consciously aware of the kingdom of God.

In this moment resides the perfect divine potential waiting to manifest. Its manifestation is the expression of the supra-consciousness through the soul (the Christ). Divine potentials find entrance into the soul’s reality through divine trust and they have space to manifest by divine forgiveness. Divine trust connects the soul to the supra-consciousness so divine potentials manifest in the soul’s reality, and divine forgiveness liberates the present moment so the potentials can be established and propagate.

Divine Trust

As the soul awakens, it experiences the power of divine trust. Prior to its awakening through the instructions of the Spirit of Truth, the soul learns the constructs of divine trust (trust in divine love) and gains the desire to trust, but lacks the power to truly act in this trust. As the soul awakens, it receives the power to trust, because the soul becomes aware of divine trust from the supra-consciousness. Trust is the first divine attribute the soul experiences. It’s the state of consciousness that connects the individualized soul to the supra-consciousness in a way that allows the expression of all the other attributes to manifest. Divine trust is the soul’s initial conscious experience of oneness with the Christ within.

Divine trust forms an open door to the supra-consciousness that enables this divine consciousness to expand into the soul. This trust enlarges within the soul until the soul fully trusts in the unfailing nature of divine love and no longer trusts in physical expectations (i.e., the “world”). This expansive trust enables the supra-mind to govern all the soul expressions, and therefore manifest divine potentials in the soul’s reality. The divine trust becomes an eternal gate in the soul through which the supra-mind expresses itself in creation.

Divine Forgiveness

Entering through the open door of divine trust, the next divine attribute to enter the soul in power is divine forgiveness. Like trust, the soul learns about the constructs of divine forgiveness from the Spirit of Truth and gains a desire to divinely forgive, but only upon its awakening does it experience its true power.

Divine forgiveness has the power to liberate the present moment from past negative emotions that create suffering in the soul, and fill the present with divine love which heals and renews the soul. It purifies the present moment, enabling the expression of the other divine attributes. It’s an essential attribute involved in the transformative process of “Life”, regenerating the soul from a mortal experience to an immortal one. In divine trust, the soul rests in the perfect unfoldment of this highly desirable attribute, for it is the experience of the soul breaking free from the bondage of the self-generated consciousness.

Emotions are the expressed energy of the soul. Energy’s vibrations create harmony or disharmony in reality. When the energy is tainted by negative past emotions, it creates a disharmonious reality. For example, if anger lingers in the soul’s consciousness from a past event, then it impacts the emotional atmosphere of the present. When it is a disharmonious energy, like anger, it creates disharmony is the soul’s reality. Versus, when the soul feels the harmonious vibrations of love, it creates desirable circumstances and conditions.

The self-directed consciousness, which is crafted in corruption, holds on to past negative emotions through its erroneous beliefs, perceptions, judgments and constructs, and as a result the soul experiences emotional pain and suffers for events that no longer exist. Upon the soul’s awakening, as the supra-consciousness supplants the corrupted self-directed consciousness, and through divine forgiveness the present is completely freed from negative past emotions. In the light of the supra-consciousness, the past reflects its truth – that it is unreal. Instead, the now becomes real and new, alive with divine love, the source of harmony, vitality, and joy.

Divine forgiveness exists right now for each one of us. It’s woven into the fabric of the energetic structure of creation. All that exists is the present moment’s energetic vibration. This “purity of the present moment” is a reflection of our Creator’s divine forgiveness available to us all. In truth, we are totally free, liberated, and “forgiven” with every new moment. When we receive the awareness of divine forgiveness from the supra-consciousness through the open door of trust, we are able to fully abide in this truth and we are free.

Through oneness with the supra-consciousness, the soul receives the inflow of divine attributes and expresses their outflow into creation, illuminating reality with Truth. As the soul reflects perfect divine potentials, it arises and shines in the dawning of a new Day.

The Golden Key

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  ~ 1 Corinthians 5:17

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”  ~ Revelation 21:5

The End of Suffering

The End of Suffering

 

“I see suffering all around me. How can I end suffering for all as it isn’t even real?”

The way to all truth is through the “supra-conscious mind”, the over-mind that governs all reality. Our minds are closed to the supra-consciousness because we (humans) have relied on our own self-generated consciousness, which is a false consciousness created in the belief that we are separate from all living things. This self-conscious mind is a “closed (finite) system” that functions in darkness (separation from the truth of the supra-mind, which is infinite).

The self-created consciousness forms its own truths based on what it perceives via its physical senses. Thus it believes it lives in a material or finite reality because the senses can only discern the material and finite. The soul, which is eternal, is then subjected to finite limitations which rub against it and create suffering, pain and abrasion of all soul perceptions. The soul experiences “pain” and manifests this pain outwardly as suffering into its reality which is created by its mind. When anyone perceives the suffering of others, without consciously knowing they absorb this potential into their own self-created consciousness. They believe suffering to be true and it becomes part of their reality. Thus suffering and the finite reality of death spread throughout humanity via physically perceiving the manifested reality of others.

How then is this closed system of suffering penetrated, such that light (Truth) can be passed on to others? By Trust in the workings of divine love.

Trust is the open door to the supra-conscious mind which allows the soul to operate in the “infinite system” in which it was created to exist. This supra-conscious mind governs all freewill creatures and is framed with eternal structures of love, peace, joy, harmony, growth and restitution (gathering of all things into oneness and perfection). It is fundamentally different from the framework of the self-generated consciousness and its resulting mind of darkness and selfishness. It is not possible for the self-conscious mind to trust in the thoughts and ideas of the supra-conscious mind, even if it wills to do so.

Such a darkened mind can not comprehend the ways of light and is therefore unable to construct thoughts of life. However, as one travels inwardly into the abyss of the transition space between these two consciousnesses (the real and the unreal), it is here that the door to the supra-conscious is found. This infinitely small door is imperceptible without the guidance of the Spirit of Truth, yet has always connected the self-created mind to the life of the supra-mind of oneness. If the traveller remains in this place of transition and continues to knock on the door once having perceived it, and having come to understand that the Father lives behind it, it is eventually discovered that the door was always open, but appeared at first non-existent and then closed, and then as the soul perceptions of the traveller are refined, it appears as it is in truth: open.

Perceiving this open door is the birth of Christ within the soul and with it the supra-natural ability to Trust in the growing reality of Truth and the infinite space of the living realm of oneness. Slowly this Trust is able to convey the concepts of life into the self-created mind and conquer all thoughts and ideas that manifest expressions of suffering and separation from joy.

As the “Life” pours into the self-consciousness through the expanding doorway of the supra-conscious mind, the self-created mind is consumed by Life. And it begins to operate in accordance with the supra-mind’s purposes, creating a reality that will be able to relay life to the dead (unaware of Truth) through the reality of their physical senses. What is discovered behind the door deep within by the few is poured out into reality, that all may perceive the Truth of the supra-conscious mind via external perception. Thus, Life spreads to all humankind.

As Life consumes the self-created consciousness of those once unaware (dead), they are increasingly able to contain the supra-conscious mind’s thoughts of divine love (Life) and to trust in these thoughts as good, real and possible. For they first must see the light of divine love (Christ) manifested by others via their physical senses and then proclaim it good via their soul perceptions. As this happens, suffering slowly dissolves from their reality through their increasing Trust in the life of divine love.

So it is that through the one door all are made alive. Through the few who found the open gate of the supra-conscious mind of perfection, love and endless joy, all may be made free and partakers of the oneness of divine love’s river of life.

 

“Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. ~ Matthew 7:14

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” ~ Revelation 21:4

The Golden Path of Divine Trust

The Golden Path of Divine Trust

 

Through the workings of divine love the soul is empowered to breakaway from trusting in a reality perceived through the senses. This sense-based reality creates the illusions that steal life. When instead the soul trusts in the unfailing nature of divine love above the sense-based illusions, it honors the divine nature of God. In this living connection of honor and love, the soul grows into expressions of abundant life.

Trust in divine love is the natural result of growing in its awareness. Cultivation of this powerful trust starts with becoming intimately acquainted with all the attributes of divine love, which we do by going inward to commune with the Spirit of Truth and then desiring to express this love outward. Trust in divine love empowers us to manifest abundant life by bridging the gap from where we are to where we desire to be. Divine trust is the golden path into the materialization of the divine qualities of peace, harmony, and joy.

Trust in divine love is a gift and precious treasure to our soul. Divine trust is the fruit of an honest journey of the soul into truth and divine love. It is the catch all, to transform all. In every situation, we can chose to trust that God’s love will never fail us and when we do that situation will manifest the perfect potential. The further we walk down the path of divine trust, the more conscious we become of the divine qualities in our lives which give expression of the abundance of our Creator.

When trusting in divine love we relinquish our god-like self-power to create our  expectations. Instead, we trust the Creator’s divine will and power to grow and shape our lives. The results are often not what we expect, because in the end they will exceed what we expect.

There are three thieves, fear, lack and hopelessness, that steal abundant life through deception of the senses. Initially, these thieves will appear very strong as they use the senses as weapons. But as we trust in divine love’s unfailing nature despite what our senses would cause us to believe, each thief is eventually conquered and what was stolen is restored abundantly.

Conquering Fear

Our reality is an accumulated reflection of our thought life. As we think, so we are.

Because reality is constructed by thoughts, when we act out of a fearful mentality we create disharmonious situations, which in turn create more fear. Trust in divine love breaks this cyclic dynamic. When we know divine love, the moment a situation arises that initiates fear we are empowered to trust that this love will not fail us which frees us from the prison of fear. When trust in divine love replaces our fear thoughts, then fear is pushed out of our mind and its effects out of our reality. As we continually act in trust, we are led into a more harmonious reality, and we cease to create anything that induces fear, and fear is conquered.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. ~ 1 John 4:18

Conquering Lack

Lack is another framework of thought that steals abundant life. When we consistently think we don’t have enough, then we create lack, which causes us to believe in lack. Trust in divine love breaks through these habitual thoughts of insufficiency. Instead we focus on what we do have, we are grateful and avoid complaining. When we come up against lack, and still chose to trust in the unfailing nature of divine love to provide perfectly, we open up our lives to create the potentials that supply our needs. Instead of staying trapped in a deficient mindset, the path of trust leads us into a place of growth and provision. Again, our reality is created from our thoughts. Our thoughts determine what potentials come into our lives and which ones do not. When we trust in divine love, different situations, people, and ideas come into our lives that wouldn’t have otherwise, and these potentials of divine love are ones of abundant life.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ~ Phil 4:19

Conquering Hopelessness

Hopelessness often wears the guise of depression and comes when we face what seems like a unbridgeable gap from where or who we are to where and who we want to be. Trust in divine love releases us from our reoccurring thoughts of hopelessness. When we feel hopeless and powerless in our prayers, in divine trust we nonetheless pray the blessings of joy and hope for others. This trust dissolves the emotional atmosphere that perpetuates a hopeless reality. Trust introduces new potentials into our reality that otherwise wouldn’t have appeared and fulfills our expectations in ways we never imagined.

Trust in divine love is your God given power to defeat fear, lack, and hopelessness. Divine trust is a very precious treasure that we gain from a diligent soul journey into enlightenment. As you walk the golden path of divine trust, the circumstances of your life refine your trust in divine love making it increasingly true, real and sincere until it becomes a bridge out of depravity and into abundant life.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. ~ Romans 8:35, 37

The Awakening Power of Trust

The Awakening Power of Trust

 

The foundation of reality is the inner soul.

Like a physical birth, the soul begins its life as a seed. Being a seed of the Creator, it is a seed of immortality that grows into an ever-expanding divine expression of the Creator.

Like a seed, the soul begins in a state of darkness and separation, which shapes all its perceptions and thoughts. Walled in by these mortal thoughts, it experiences sensations of inertia (“deadness”). As the soul seeks inwardly into its Source and Center it finds its Origin, the living thought (Word) of God. The soul learns its very life is the substance of the Creator’s thoughts, and then echoes the words of its Teacher, the Spirit of Truth: “I Am the substance of God.” The soul discovers its much more than it ever imagined.

In this eternal Light of Truth, the soul perceives its true nature is not separation from divine love but oneness with divine love. From this spark of eternal truth, the soul begins its struggle (birth) out of darkness and into the light. As the soul begins to grow by divine thoughts (characterized by oneness with divine love), its previous thoughts (characterized by separation from divine love) fade as the night in a dawning day.

The Breakthrough

During the stages of its awakening, the soul’s trust in divine love empowers it to break through the hardened shell of mortal thoughts. When the soul consciously trusts in divine love, a living connection is formed between the soul and its Creator. Since it is through divine love that the soul comes to know its true Creator, it is in this love that the soul trusts. Trust breaks through the walls of separation because it professes there are no walls in oneness. Through growing trust in the nature of divine love, the soul pushes through its fears, doubts, and uncertainties that spawned from the shadows of darkness and reaches into the eternal light.

As the Spirit teaches through life experiences, the soul begins to trust in the unfailing nature of divine love, until the soul is consumed in divine trust, covering even its inability to trust as it desires. Trust in divine love makes the hardened shell of the soul malleable to transformative grace, freeing the soul from its self-generated thought-forms that created the illusion of mortality and bound it to death. Through trust the soul lets go and opens up to divine potentials that enable the soul to take on immortal expressions.

Our true foundation is oneness with divine love. As our eyes open to this truth, we begin to trust in this divine love and relinquish all we once thought we were to gain our true expression of who we truly are. Trust connects us to our Father in sincerity, honor and true adoration. It unites our reality to his nature because of its substantive expression. Trust frees our soul from the bonds of striving and puts all the workmanship of our soul into our Father’s hands. It’s our liberty, freedom, rest and power because we renounce self-power so we can be receptive to his creative power working through us.

Trust in the unfailing and unconditional nature of divine love opens up our souls and lives to potentials that manifest restoration, rejuvenation, and regeneration.

The Highest Honor: Thrones of Trust

The Highest Honor:

Thrones of Trust

 

We honor our Creator when we trust him.

We trust him when our will is at rest.

We rest as we acquiescently sit on our thrones.

 

Our Creator honors us as the weaker vessel who is dependent on his divine love. As our soul matures in his love, we return honor back to him in the form of a child-like trust. In this exchange, divine love, which encompasses honor at its core, is manifested between his Spirit and ours.

In oneness with our Creator, we reside in a co-creator dynamic with him. In this simulated reality, we are experiencing a reality manifested by our self-determined consciousness, which he covertly governs for our highest good. In the eternity of the real, we experience a reality manifested by his divine consciousness working through us in radiant glory. To obtain the latter, we first experience the former unreal state to learn many lessons.

One lesson, which is paramount to them all, is that we can’t breathe without creating harm and suffering, regardless of our intentions. This depth of awareness in conjunction with a growing awareness of divine love begins to manifest a divine trust within us. In this trust, we willingly relinquish our self-driven will, and desire our Creator to govern every iota of our being. In this trust, we draw near to him in genuineness, love and gratitude. Thus, we honor him above all because we trust and desire him above all.

Establishing Trust

Along the path of enlightenment, we grow in the awareness that at every turn in this reality, there is a pertinent reason to trust. It’s not a trust in anything of this world or of us, for there is nothing in either that can help with the depth of our need. It’s a foundational trust in the Creator.

To come to this state of trust, we first become acquainted with the Creator’s true reflection, otherwise our trust is in vain. In the wiles of the darkened mind, the likeness of the Creator has been obscured with many false images. When the soul sincerely seeks for his true likeness, the Spirit of Truth reveals it bit by bit. It’s revealed little by little, for in revealing the nature of the Creator, our soul is transformed.

The Creator is the essence of divine love and absolute truth, which holds every possible divine potential for a created reality. He is beyond images. Including, beyond the word “he.” As we commune with his Spirit of Truth in our sacred inner chamber, he reveals himself to us in spirit that only our soul can comprehend. Through this engagement we come to know him increasingly more intimately, according to our advancing divine soul state.

Through this ever-growing awareness, divine trust forms in us. Trust is the fruit of this sacred engagement. It can’t be manufactured outside of it. For trust to be authentic it has to be cultivated in the real; in the pre-creative space of our soul; the only real place we know in this simulated state.

Regarding this simulated state, true separation in divine love is impossible. Thus, we are in a simulated state that isn’t real that our Creator created for instructional purposes; like a training simulation. When we awake into the real, all our thoughts are one with the divine consciousness, the only way they truly can be, thus they always and only serve the manifestation of divine love. Until then, we learn through this dream-like state knowing all is serving this end.

Energetic Exchange

As this relationship grows, our trust matures through a fully repentant heart beyond the vicissitudes of vanity. We desire to fully relinquish our self-will and instead embrace the divine will, which we do through the sacred trust crafted in us by the Spirit of Truth. Being in this state of consuming trust is a pivotal state of consciousness that facilitates our will shifting from being self-driven to divinely driven.

This matured trust leads us into an energetic exchange with our Creator. Through a deep inner trust (a profoundly powerful energetic state) we lay down our self-directed will, and in doing so honor him. In response, his divine honor enters the core of our soul. This energy exchange forms divine love within us and transitions our trust into a child-like trust that leads to the materialization of the divine self. In this our “thrones of trust” are established in place of our “thrones of lust”, and the Spirit of God fully governs our lives from within our soul through our oneness with him.

At the Soul’s Edge

Our oneness with the Creator is fashioned over many exchanges between our soul and the Spirit of Truth along our soul journey through the wilderness of the self-determined consciousness. These exchanges reflect our oneness from the beginning. He calls, we seek. He teaches, we repent and follow. He crafts, we trust. He governs, we rest. It’s through these exchanges that divine love is formed between us.

At the close of our soul journey, we come to the edge of ourselves. In this place, we look upon the infinite chasm that separates us from unlimited divinity. This chasm is defined, created, and sustained by the possibility of one wayward thought. One thought not in accordance to divine love reveals a separation from the divine consciousness; thus a soul state of darkness.

There is nothing of ourselves or of this world that can deliver us from this wayward thought, thus the infinite chasm. It’s in this state we, once again, face the depth of our need for the consuming nature of the divine consciousness to govern every aspect of our being. We can’t even trust as we should because of our contrary thoughts that discredit its purity. Yet knowing the nature of divine love, we trust that even our lack of trust is covered in the more than sufficient grace found in divine love. This trust is the highest honor we can give him from our current soul state.

As we gaze into this infinite chasm, our trust cascades over its precipice. It’s a pivotal moment in our transformation. As we face the depth of our depravity as we experience the darkness of our soul, we trust. We trust him with all we know and don’t know. All the journeying of the soul comes down to this moment. A moment where the soul has sold all, desired to turn from all that isn’t of divine love and is overwhelmed in its desire for oneness, and yet all it can do is trust. Yet trust is exactly what is required because it returns a sincere honor and love back to the Creator enabling a divine love exchange to occur, thus establish a root of divinity.

Child-Like Trust

Trust takes effort until we are sublimely one because we struggle against our self-determined consciousness that puts us in the throws of doubt, fear, and abandonment. When his divine consciousness reaches across that infinite chasm through his divine love, our trust becomes a ubiquitous knowing (a child-like trust) and we are awakened to a new day as a child of his likeness.

The Living Present Moment

Moving into the

Living Present Moment

 

As the consciousness shifts from being self-directed to the divine, the soul moves into the present moment; its new inventive space where it’s a creative witness to the Spirit of God.

Moment by moment like drops of water, our consciousness creates our reality. The past consists of a myriad of reflections of those accumulated drops, and our interpretations of those past reflections determine our future drops. Full of error, the self-determined consciousness creates muddled and disharmonious pools of water that are brimming with heartache, suffering, afflictions and pain. Bound in this destructive creation cycle, the soul continues to manifest error, thus suffering.

Governed by divine love and absolute truth, the divine consciousness creates harmonious drops that create eternal and ever-expanding joy, peace, rest, wisdom, and love. Each drop of this consciousness that is released into the present moment is in harmony with all the others because these drops are divinely governed from within. An ever-growing expression of a divine soul emerges as one moment perfectly supports all other moments. This dynamic creates the living and ever-expanding present moment.

As the soul learns from the Spirit of Truth, it begins to gain harmonious conceptual frameworks from the truth he imparts. So, within the soul’s experience of the dark disharmonious and chaotic waters of the self-determined consciousness, a harmonious bubble of truth methodically forms as a divine soul structure. The soul’s present moment is not only filled with its disharmonious waters, but also it’s pregnant with the conceptual frameworks of truth that are waiting for the breath of life of the divine consciousness to become active in the soul’s experiential reality.

When the necessary conceptual frameworks are gained so that this inner part of the soul can unite to the divine consciousness, then by transformative grace the Spirit fills the conceptual frameworks and brings the divine soul into the light as it manifests the light from within the soul. The light is created moment-by-moment as the drops of divine consciousness create a reality reflecting the Spirit of God. It’s the ever expanding living present moment. Like the rising sun, each moment layers upon the next in perfect harmony with all other moments, so that the present possesses an eternal living nature allowing it to become increasingly more glorious. In any one moment, the interwoven perfection of all the moments is seen. In this, the soul takes on an immortal reflection. The soul ascends to abide in the present moment where the Spirit of God dwells.

The Present Moment

The present moment is fleeting to the self-determined consciousness that is confined to mindsets dictated by the past and its future. But to the divine consciousness it is home.

As the soul begins to transform into a divine consciousness, so that the bubble of truth becomes filled with the Spirit of Divinity, it begins to enter into the present moment through shifts of awareness in its consciousness. The present that was always fleeting begins to open up and become the space in which the soul dwells, because it’s where the Spirit of God dwells.

The past is memory and the future is imagination. The only real moment is the present moment. This is the space where the Spirit of God encounters his created reality as his Spirit streams through the soul. Yet, in the self-determined consciousness this moment is ungraspable. It’s impossible for the soul to fully live in it, thus in oneness with the presence of God. However, with the divine consciousness that creates harmony between every moment, the present opens up to be a moment where the soul can abide with the Spirit of God.

Opening of the Present Moment

When the present moment opens as a dwelling place for the soul, the Spirit of God enters into the soul’s expressive reality. As the Spirit is divine love, the soul experiences divine love flooding into its essence, and out toward all of creation in one continuous movement; a love with the ability to end all suffering. These fluid and cohesive droplets of the divine consciousness begin to manifest reflections of the Spirit of God in reality. Thus the soul begins to experience living present moments, which create the eternal light.

There are various transformative conceptual frameworks at work within the consciousness as it shifts into the divine consciousness. The constructs below enable the quality of present-mindedness of the divine consciousness to exist within the soul, thus for the soul to exist in the present moment.

  1. Divine Forgiveness. Divine forgiveness is a characteristic of divine love that enables this love to always extend itself in its fullness when emotional pain, thus separation, has occurred, as if the pain never occurred. The grace that flows in this love produces a supernatural release of all pain so the soul can receive and give love as if that pain never existed. Thus, in the present moment the soul can divinely love in all wisdom. Emotional pain is manifested from the soul lacking divine love and truth. When the soul is full of divine love, then that pain can no longer be created. This forgiveness is the active ingredient of love that severs the negative affects of the past upon the present and makes it a non-active ingredient of the divine soul, which is essential in creating a harmonious present moment.
  1. Memories Refashioned. Related to divine forgiveness is the past being reframed by the divine consciousness so that instead of having a negative impact on the present, it has a positive. When the divine consciousness begins to take over a soul, all the soul’s past experiences are reframed and perceived from the framework of divine love and eternity, which is facilitated by the understandings mentioned in the previous post. This reframing enables harmony to be constructed within the present moment.
  1. Cycle of Restitution. As the soul fully desires to divinely love all creation at all times, its inward desires align to the will of God, thus to the divine consciousness. In desiring to live in this pure love, the soul realizes it can’t in its current state of consciousness, thus recognizes it can never be “good”. Recognizing this inability to receive and give divine love and yet desiring to, the soul is led to the door of the kingdom of God within its soul; the internal divine governance. The soul releases its willful drive of the self-determined mind, which enables its transition into the present moment where it’s divinely governed and all is restored and renewed. (True Repentance)
  1. Cultivated Trust. Reliance on the Spirit of Truth is cultivated along the path of enlightenment, which puts the soul in a state of being spirit-reliant versus self-reliant. For a soul to shift to the living present moment, it relinquishes all its expectations and ambitions of self-determination. Instead, the soul trusts in the workings of the Spirit of Truth to manifest its divine desires in its reality through the perfect orchestration of one present moment harmoniously supporting all others. This depth and level of trust manifests an immortal harmony that the soul can’t create on its own and that is necessary to fully abide in the present moment.
  1. Divine Governance. When the soul is governed by the divine consciousness, it’s governed from within by the divine attributes of the Sprit of God, which flow from the soul’s point of origin. These attributes dictate and motivate the soul’s decisions moment by moment. In this, the soul willingly releases all control and its various emotional tools it utilized to sedate the fear, pain and emotional imbalances, and moves into the fluid restorative movement of the present. Through this internal governance the soul resides in mindful awareness in the present moment, which enables it to harmoniously expand, versus remaining in the endless cycle of an erroneous past and its future manifestations.

As the divine consciousness fills the pregnant present moment containing the conceptual frameworks of truth within the soul, these five transformative understandings move the soul into the present moment to embrace a oneness with the Spirit of God. This metamorphosis of consciousness manifests the soul into an eternal finite being. So that even though at any given moment the soul is finite; at the same time it is eternally expanding and growing. In this formation, the Spirit of God, who is infinite, is able to abide within his creation in a beautiful harmonious oneness.

Slave to Servant to Son

Slave to Servant to Son

 

As a soul acts in living faith, exchanges the elements of mortality for those of divinity, integrates into the Source of Life through divine gratitude, and experiences transformative grace, its metamorphosis into a son of divinity commences. Infused with the divine consciousness, the soul rises out of the depths and above its reality where it resides with God as a son of God, with all of creation supportive to its expansion.

Foundation of the Soul

The soul’s foundation determines and guides all its actions. It determines how it makes it choices and what choices it makes. The soul begins its journey with a foundation created by the self-determined consciousness; whose perceptions are defined by an absence of divine love. Attributes lacking this love create its foundation; unworthiness, fear, control, retribution, selfishness, pride, self-pity, etc. The soul is enslaved to these faulty characteristics and what grows out of them.

On the path of enlightenment, the soul learns this enslavement is for its instruction. The soul becomes a servant to its lessons and in this awareness advances toward a divine soul state. When its lessons are complete, it begins its transition into a son.

As the soul becomes rooted in the divine attributes, they govern all its choices; what is loving, honoring, right, true, and merciful, etc. When a soul’s foundation changes, everything changes. If it’s of the finite self-determined consciousness, the soul creates the absence of divinity, death. If it’s of the infinite divine consciousness, the soul creates in divine love, life.

Foundation to the Divine Soul Temple

Sparkling like brilliant liquid gems, the foundation of the divine soul is laid with the divine attributes. The Source of these attributes is in the realm of divinity. Thus, though the divine soul is in creation, it is no longer anchored in the finite realm of self-generated potentials, but in the limitless realm of divine potentials, which enables its eternal growth, thus divine sonship.

The framework of this foundation consists of the constructs of the divine attributes, which are knit into the soul by the Spirit of Truth along the path of enlightenment. When the establishment of the constructs is complete, they enable the Spirit, who contains the substance of those attributes, to join to the soul in a oneness, and infuse the seven soul elements with the energetic vibrations of the attributes to create a living divine soul. This divine light fills the divine soul awakening it to life; manifesting a son of God.

Transformation by Grace

As the divine consciousness meticulously infuses the soul, the soul’s present reflective reality becomes undone, quakes, crumbles, changes and transitions. All that was constructed by the self-determined consciousness falls away as the divine consciousness manifests its reflection through the soul; like a butterfly’s cocoon falling away. As everything becomes uprooted, the soul’s trust in the workings of the Spirit carry it through. Trust, like divine gratitude, creates a link from the soul to divinity upon which the Spirit can work and flow. It keeps the soul connected to divinity to bring it through the transition and to the other side of the infinite chasm.

The soul is no longer self-determining anything. So through this transition, trust becomes its mainstay as one reality fades and another takes its place. If the soul lacked this deep trust, it would revert to its prior false securities instead of pushing forward in living faith. This deep trust in the Spirit’s workmanship is crafted through the soul’s desert journey of enlightenment, where it learned to trust the leading of the Spirit of Truth above all. To trust what it doesn’t see but knows to be true above what it does see.

Through this shift from servant to son, the battles of the soul end. As part of the soul’s formation, it endlessly strived to alleviate or absolve its brokenness that created its inner and outward suffering, pain, hardship and disharmony. Rooted in the divine, the soul’s truth becomes an extension and reflection of absolute truth, which manifests immortal harmony. This harmony begins to renew the soul’s entire being and reflection from the inside out. Harmony can’t exist as long as a soul operates according to its relative truth based on its finite self-generated reality. But when a soul is anchored in the Source of Life beyond its creative reality, then it’s driven by absolute truth. Unity with divinity cultivates a stream of harmony in the soul and into its reflective reality. In this divinity, which is a state of being; being divine love of endless expressions, the soul enters its eternal rest.

Rooted in eternity allows the limitless divine potentials of immortal harmony to continuously flow through the soul and create a new reality. The soul becomes a glorious reflection of the eternal light.

Rising Above the Reality

As the soul rises above its reality, it’s longer a slave and servant to it. When the soul’s foundation is crafted out of self-determination it creates closed system on a faulty foundation, thus an endless loop of bondage for the soul. This closed system served to teach the soul many necessary truths, but it’s bondage nonetheless. When the Spirit dwells in the soul in oneness, then the soul rises outside its reality though still connected to it. In this pre-creative space of eternity, it becomes a master of its reality and all its components. Every element of creation begins to prosper the soul in righteousness because it’s now one with the Spirit of God, and all creation serves his spirit.

Perfect Cause in Righteousness

The soul begins to live in what was once impossible in its self-determined state; perfect cause in righteousness in every moment, which creates the eternal present. There is always perfect cause in the soul’s life, but it was perfect cause in error (in the dark). Everything the soul experienced brought it perfectly to its metamorphosis, but it experienced the pain of its choices and errors. In perfect cause in righteousness, the soul experiences the effects of righteousness, thus eternal growth, life and divine love and all the corresponding attributes. Moment by moment, as perfect cause layers upon the next perfect cause, the soul grows stronger and expands its righteous loving impact on creation. Every action past, present and future supports the present moment, thus time of the eternal present becomes supportive to the workings of the divine soul.

In the formulation of perfect cause in righteousness, the soul consistently chooses the perfect action through the Spirit working in oneness with it. It creates perfect cause that manifests the perfect ripples effects for all of creation. This infinity times infinity perfection of choice creates immortal harmony, the eternal present, and an ever-expanding divine soul state. The soul and its reality no longer decays as when it was subjected to the elements of death created by the errors of the self-determined consciousness. In oneness, it continually grows through the expansion of the divine attributes through its expressions.

In this foundation of divinity, the soul is rooted in eternity like a tree planted with its roots extending into the divine attributes beyond its reality, and it branches growing upward and manifesting its reality. It self-determines nothing, though it chooses anything. The soul experiences absolute freedom of choice because all its desires are aligned to the Source. Every possible choice flows from the realm of divinity into the soul, thus the soul can make no error. Free from self-determination and knit into the perfect cause of righteousness, the soul resides as a son of divinity and no longer a slave and servant of mortality. From this place above and beyond reality where creation serves the soul, the soul serves all creation in love as divine love seamlessly flows through it in a brilliant array of expressions.

Living Day to Day

Living Day to Day

To live day-to-day or to be present-minded, thus to not worry about tomorrow, brings abundant peace and rest as it prohibits worry and fear from talking hold for there are no anxious thoughts of the future for these to grab a hold of.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Hebrews 4:12 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

This state of mind comes from trusting God. To let go of an unknown future requires either no care (which is to cease to love and refusing to know love) or trust in an all-powerful loving God.

How do you trust God? Know Him in truth and spirit.

We have to seek to know God as we would do with anyone. We have to come to know Him as He is and not by the false images portrayed by organized religion. The constructs of His character have to be established within our minds. Romans 12:2 This is what it means to know someone and trust them because you know their character and it’s a nature you can have great confidence in, even in the unknown. Proverbs 3:26 We trust in not knowing the future, but in God and His character which is faithful, loving and all-powerful.

One of the key aspects to know about God in order to fully trust Him is His love. This sounds obvious and easy, but in a world where love has been tainted in every which way; coming to know His love to a point of a deep trust is something that is built over time. Yet, it can only be built if we consistently and diligently engage God in truth and spirit.

This world has not known the love of God. They have known false images of God that proclaim love but are infused with fear, guilt, and control because those images came out of the corrupted nature of man. It’s mankind creating his own image of God; the essence of religions. We can only know God by seeking for ourselves. It’s an individual endeavor. We can’t know Him from another person. The only way to know God and His love is to go to Him one-on-one and learn about Him personally through our circumstances as He teaches from within, because that is where God meets us and comes to us, within. Because God is an infinite spirit, there is no end to knowing Him.

The deep hunger in our soul; the part that desires to be filled, known, eternally accepted and loved, is the longing to be connected to the source of love in the deepest truest way. This is the place in us created by God for Him to fill and only He can for He created it in us for Himself. He did this because He loves us and desires a bond of love with us. True contentment comes by being filled and united with His presence, the Great Spirit who gives life to our souls.

When we come to this unity; peace rules our minds and hearts.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

What is True Rest?

What is True Rest?

Hebrews 4:10-11 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

In this video, I discuss a very important truth of entering into God’s rest.

Trust of a Child

Trust of a Child: Gaining Child-like Faith

 Luke 18:17 “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

One central aspect to being a child of God who enters into the Kingdom of God is trust; a trust that leads to a rest in your soul because you know your Father is working ALL out perfectly. Psalm 57:2, Hebrews 4:11 In a restful state there is no worry, angst, fear, anxiety, or any other emotion that takes you away from abiding in peace.

Matthew 7:11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Growing up, I was blessed to never go hungry. Usually each night my mom prepared a balanced healthy dinner. I never wondered about dinner; if there would be any, how or where we would have it, how it was being cooked, or if it would be nutritious to help me to grow healthy and strong. I trusted in my parents to provide as they saw best and never gave it a second thought after all they were my parents. Matthew 6:8

Imagine if I trusted myself. After a day of playing, I would scour the neighborhood anxiously looking for a piece of bread. This lack of trust is what most do when it comes to God. They are like children scouring the neighborhood thinking God doesn’t care, He isn’t there, or they’re supposed to get their own dinner. It isn’t meant to be this way …

In ALL things we are to act in faith. Romans 14:23 This means trusting God and not ourselves, someone else, how we do something, or what we do. It means we trust God as the giver of all good things. James 1:17 We trust in His ability to work in and through us. We trust Him to provide in a faultless way because of His pure love. This type of trust is child-like faith. We don’t know how dinner will come, but we know we can trust God to provide it every time and it will be perfect because He IS our Father.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

Peaceful, Honoring Prayer

This perspective is a fundamental aspect of prayer. In prayer, we give our situation over to God to work it out perfectly; Thy will be done. We let it go. We don’t judge how He is working it out. This honors God as God our Father. As God’s children, when we ask for His help we trust that He IS working it out. Sometimes it will be what we expected, more often times not. But we trust God will do what is flawless. Hindsight shows His perfection. God takes away a job, but puts us somewhere better. God removes us from a relationship, only to realize it was unhealthy. We experience the consequence of our sin, but we learn to walk in His wisdom, not our own. When we ask for His help, He gives us the fulfillment of our true desires, not what we think we need in our extremely limited understanding.

We think we know what is best and good; we don’t, only God does. Mark 10:18 We have to trust His goodness and not what we see because of how differently He might lead us in the fulfillment of our true desires. 1 Corin 2:5 If we trust Him, He will fulfill and exceed all we need in the perfect way and timing.

Psalm 34:10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

Let go of your expectations. Leave each step up to God. Trust He is working because He said He is to those who seek Him. Hebrews 13:21 Seek to walk according to His will and wisdom and not your own. James 1:1-8 This is the rest we are to have in every area of our lives.

In trust, we know whatever is happening God is in each detail bringing about what we need. Any one night, dinner may have come through my mom’s cooking, going out to eat, going to a friend’s house, or picking up dinner to bring home. I trusted them with the how and what. Do the same with God … leave the details up to Him. He loves you more than the perfect parent. Most don’t trust, so they go their own way to their detriment. God knows best. And when we trust, we are amenable to seek and follow His ways as He leads. If we expect our Mom’s meatloaf to be ready at 6PM, when it doesn’t come we’ll think she forgot about us. Meanwhile, she was waiting in the car to take us to our favorite restaurant. Leave it all to God. Follow where HE leads. He works outside of our understanding and for our best.

Want to trust God to this extent? Get to know Him. Spend time with Him one-on-one, each day seeking His face in spirit and truth. Most don’t trust because they don’t know truly know God or His love, get to know Him and you’ll know His love, then true trust will follow.
