Who Touched Me?

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing that you are the deep object of my affection, let us become deeply involved in much contemplation of INTENTION of relationship. It is indeed to be the touchstone or point of contact for your/my faith.....remember the promise, "if two of you agree as [ONE] touching"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Was reading Charles' post on "intention"and this all too familiar passage seemed to pop for me with a greater clarity: "If two of you agree as TOUCHING.." [ and I very much appreciate the point that Charles was making about agreeing as One, too]

What is the spiritual significance of 'touching'?

But I began to think about the many passages that speak about how Jesus touched someone and in every case it brought about life changing experiences for the one touched. And, also, how he made a big deal about how someone in the throng touched him.

What kind of touching was Jesus actually doing? Was he just touching someones flesh or was something else going on? He said, "That if two of you agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

We have talked about on here before how that the void is not really 'void' or a vacuum but is a plenum of all possibility and how God moved or vibrated upon the face of this deep to create. This is the place of everything and nothing or it is a place of all possibilities and potentials prior to form.

If faith is the substance of things hoped for, then faith is the ability to reach into the void and call forth those things that are not as though they were.

When two can agree they are, in fact, God once again vibrating over his deep in creative movment, don't you think?

I guess we haven't done as much real touching as we give claim to. We all have had 'what' down pretty good, but spirit is teaching us 'how', Now.

Blessings and love,
Karen

When I am asked to pray for anyone, all I can ever do is speak to their Christ to arise, "Let God arise and his enemies be scattered." Now God really has no enemies, in the sense that there could possibly be anything that could oppose the Omnipotent, but when someones God power or Essence is invested wrongfully it can create havoc in their lives. We are very powerful beings. But like any adolescent, he often does not use his energy and abilities wisely until a little more maturing. I still believe in the growing principle along with the re-membering one.

I think the growing principle locks in the re-membering one. We have to be able to 'hold that note' to break the dark glass....sustain the higher vibration.

I have known a lot of people that can sing this song beautifully, but they aren't able to hold the high notes for long. I have some friends that sang beautifully at one time but have hung up their harps.....so it is,

By His Grace Only,
Karen

Terrestial Terminal

I think many people are afraid of showing any humanity. They have been taught how bad it is or how illusionary it is. And we hear it over and over. How bad thought is, how incapable of expressions of love we are. This makes us more unreal than real, imo. I can't see the world ever accepting this non-loving, non-living gospel.

We are meant to live LIFE more abundantly. We are to have good works - eeks, anathema, 'Works' you say? That dirty word?

People who are happy, approachable, fun and joyous and yes, loving are a lot more aligned with what God is than people who can't translate their heavens into real live earth experiences. "The heavens declare his glory, and the firmament showeth it", tells me that their needs to be some showing of it as well. It involves more than just declaring.

We are the terrestial terminal for the Divine's experience of himself. The Divine does not experience ItSelf except through its creation. Spirit just Is. But for it to experience Love, it must be lov-ing through a means to do so. And we are That - we become the EX-Pressed image of that reality when we are loving or any other action.

And I like the twin flame analogy too, Charles. I helped David Hulse put his little booklet together on "Starmates, Soulmates, and Twin Flames" which was just a way to express the different kinds of relationships people may have and the twin flames was a glorious way, I think, to show how two people can come together and burn as one for the good of all. - Those who have worked out all those 'soul' issues and can now live out of a higher purpose than their 'own stuff'. A light that serves as a mirror for others to see themselves in, was a wonderful thought too, which is what I think you were saying.

Joy to your world,
Karen


I see us in our human expression, a Ron, a Karen or a Mary, etc, as the 'focus personality' of the divine in a three dimensional world. But I don't think that we exist just in a three dimensional world. We are multidimensional beings.

If you picture a cone shape or a inverted pyramid, at the very bottom of the point would be the focus personality that we are here. God as Karen or God as Ron, Charles, Mary, etc. But because we are spirit, we are really unlimited to just that.

At the top of this pyramid would be our broader unlimited aspect. Even science calls it the 'unified field' - a unified field of energy. As Fran so often says, "We are here, there, and everywhere." Why wouldn't spirit be so? That is why prayer is so powerful. Wherever you focus, you are there. There is no travel time involved. No time lag. That is not the realm of time.

So, as I see it, we hold a 5th dimensional awareness in spirit, but to operate it in this realm of matter (a 3rd and 4th dimension), our energy is coalesced into a focus point, a terrestial terminal for expression. That would be us in the here and now. We are how heaven comes into earth.

Just some of my ponderings.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let Earth receive her King,
Karen

Ananais and Sapphira

"We used to know and fellowship with a brother Ronnie H about 20 years ago when we were still rather new in the kingdom word and he used to make this statement quite often; “The old man is dead, but before he died, he got “her”, his wife pregnant and she has been bearing children ever since her husbands death from that seed. They are little girls that look just like their daddy.”

Well, for just a little explanation of this, I believe that we all know who the old man or the Adam nature is and we know that the word tells us the old man is crucified with him. But somehow, we forgot about his wife. How typical, huh, girls? Well, maybe last, but not least. What has Eve been doing for the last two days? You know, the one who is the Mother of all Living. Not the Mother of all made Alive, but just of all who are still living in their carnal minds or understandings. Her children are her thoughts. She has perpetuated the carnal lineage of Adam, through the mind realm. You know there is a DNA that is called the mitrochondrial DNA and is only carried through the woman. That is why it says in Gen. 3 “that the seed or offspring of the woman would bruise the serpents head”.

Eve listened to the serpent, and Mary , the redeemed Eve, listened to the angel ( her spirit, the higher sound) and heard a word that what she would bring forth this time would be a “holy thing” called the Son Of the Highest.

Well, I was lying in the recliner one day a few years ago, pondering on this word “that the old man is dead, but before he died, he got her pregnant”, when these words walked through me: “But the feet of them that carried out your husband is even at the door”. Well Glory!! I thought to myself, “well, I recall vaguely that that comes from the story about Ananais and Sapphira in Acts.” I hadn’t ever even considered that account as anything other than a historical happening in the early church. Dummy me! Let me quote it here for you:

Acts 5:

But a CERTAIN MAN named Ananias with HIS WIFE (a certain woman too , there go those “certains” again) sold a piece of property. (sold their spiritual birthright, these two speak to me of Adam and Eve )
And with his wife’s knowledge and connivance he kept back and wrongfully appropriated some of the proceeds, bringing a part only and putting it at the feet of the apostles.
But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to and attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and should (in violation of your promise) withdraw secretly an appropriate to your own use part of the price from the sale of the land? ( what made you think, Adam and Eve that you could continue to hold back and live off of what was bought and paid for by the blood of Christ)
As long as it remained unsold, was it not still your own? ( when you are “dead” in your trespasses and sins or dead in your understanding, you are not held liable, but once you have entered into contract with the spirit, you have been bought with a price, therefore we are to glorify God in our body.)
As long as it remained unsold, was it not still your own? And (even) after it was sold, was not (the money) at your disposal and under your control? Why then, is it that you have proposed and purposed in your heart to do this thing? – How could you have the heart to do such a deed? You have not ( simply) lied to men – playing false and showing yourself utterly deceitful - but to God.
Upon hearing these words, Ananais fell down and died. (the old man crucified with Christ) And great dread and terror took possession of all who heard it.
And the young men arose and wrapped up (the body) ( could this be the flesh of
Jesus),and carried it out (and) buried it.
Now after an interval of about three hours ( it is now, in this day about three days since Adams death blow) his wife came in, not having learned of what had happened. ( the carnal mind has continued to believe that the old man is still alive, although he was destroyed at the cross. The works of the flesh are perpetuated as long as the lie is continued to be believed)
And Peter said to her, Tell me, did you sell the land for so much? Yes, she said, for so much.
Then Peter said to her, How could you two have agreed and conspired together to try to deceive the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! THE FEET (the feet company of the enchristed ones) OF THOSE WHO HAVE BURIED YOUR HUSBAND ARE AT THE DOOR, AND THEY WILL CARRY YOU OUT (ALSO) ( freedom to walk in the full mind of Christ, when “she, the Old Woman is buried beside her husband)
And instantly she fell down at his feet and died, and the young men entering found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
(complete deliverance from Adam and Eve)

A nature change from Adam and Eve to Mary and Christ Jesus – new heavens, Mary and a new earth, Christ Jesus.

I believe, like Paul said of the old testament, that these things happened to them as examples unto us upon whom have come the end of the ages. Many things that played out in the New Testament and in the life and happenings of Jesus are to speak to us as examples unto us who are not just at the end of the ages of man but the New Day of God and what will transpire in this Glorious New Day of the Reign of God.

My love to all,
Karen

No Longer in Part

"So, everything at the quantum level is bursts of light, bundled consciousness in the form of light units called quanta. And, when we get into those levels, truly reality for us changes. Our world is so rapid that the eyes, through the brain do not discern individual bursts but instead the pulses are averaged together into what appears as a continuous event. Quantum physics is the study of minute unities of radiating waves, non-physical force whose movement creates our physical world. You and I live in such an advanced time that even this information is not up to date. Everything is moving so fast, that now they have found a more subtle world than the quantum, called biophotons. Which are invisible impulses silently orchestrating us at the molecular level." quote by David Hulse

We have read how the scientific principle of wave and particle reality and how light exists as a wave while unobserved and as a particle while being observed. This gives rise to the truth that what we focus on or observe is our consciousness in motion. It is our energy or spirit setting an intention. And the purer the intent, from deep within the heart, the more precise its manifestation.

"Calling those things that are not" (are not yet in manifestaion, does not mean that they do not exist as elements of potentiality). Okay again, "Calling those things that are not as though they were" (because they are there waiting for us to call them forth from their graves, (the realm of the unseen).

Let me quote the whole verse and its setting: Rom. 4:17
"(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God."

We, too, are called to be a "father of many nations" as creators. I am not talking about nations of people, in this case, but nations as in the building codes of life and life more abuntantly that Jesus said was our inheritance. - How we as creators together in the grace of life will do the greater works. We are challenged to connect with our inherant creator codes that were ours before the foundations of this world, so that together we might rewrite this earth's script from one of death and hell to life and heaven wherein dwelleth righteousness.

W/holistic Creators

Deep calleth unto your deep
Let me take you to the places
That your heart
So longingly seeks.

Deeper than you have ever gone
Into places that you thought
Were, most likely, to your memory
Long gone.

Whole reality-scapes to know
In this sea of my vast consciousness
Quietly await your focused intention
To bring them up from the deep for full manifestation.

Impulses of truth
To be holographically imprinted
Giving rise to streams of reality
That language would only bind and limit.

Bundles of truth, love and wisdom
W/holistically transmitted
Will enlarge the border of your reality
To embrace whole systems of new energy.

No more line upon on line
Just bits and pieces of truth
Now you realize you are connected energetically
To all of this vast Truth.

Whatever you choose to observe
In this vast field of reality
Will rise up and meet you
In equal materiality.

So feel free to play and create
With Love as your medium
Paint with your heart new worlds
For yourself and creation to live in.

Co-creators with Me
You've been destined to be
Heaven-born creatures, sent to this earth
As Saviors to be

Much love,
Karen

Making Of A Man

"Let us make man in Our image and likeness and let them have dominion...."

God is not making God.

God is making a MAN.

I believe the brother is right when he says the words in Gen 1 and 2 are prophetic.

I think where we fall into division is we think that the natural man, the first man is the one that God was speaking of when he declared this. The natural man was a step in the process of the making of a God Man, the Second Man, the Lord from heaven. He was not the finished product and I agree with one that said it is only a temporary change of clothing. It is our tabernacle of David, our temporary movable dwelling, but we have a Temple of Solomon, our Promised Land where the glory of the sun glinted upon the outer walls of this gold covered dwelling and could be seen afar, and upon its dedication the glory so filled this temple that no 'man' - that's man with a little 'm' could stand because the MAN, that's man with a big 'M" was now filling the temple.


And yes, of course, God said in Gen. that what he created was good! He calls those things that are not as though they are!....are not what?....are not yet manifested in this realm.....because in the realm of the Eternal all things coexist simultaneously but in this realm they are "testified of in due time".

But we are bringing the ordinances, and the oracles of God into the Earth through God's MAN. Jesus was the express image of the invisible God. God is God whether he is ex-pressed or not, but when he wishes to reveal his Invisible Self, he needs a vehicle for ex-pression. And that was his purpose in making a MAN.

We know that natural man has been more of a caricature of God than an exact image of the Father. So we are still a work of God's Art in progress. 


Just as Jesus our Pattern demonstrated. He was made perfect by the things he suffered. He grew in grace and knowledge. We live and move and have our being in Him (heaven) and He lives and moves and has his being in Us (Earth).

But I love the scripture that says, "While beholding him, we are made into his same image from glory to glory."....or from one understanding to another. Because Jesus came to show us what we are and what we can become, so, in beholding him I am looking at myself as a glorified son. So I do hear where those who declare they are finished and need no perfecting are coming from. When I behold him I am looking at my future self and declaring him glorious and beautiful. I don't think we can build our house aright without looking at the blueprint and following the pattern shown us in the "Mount". And you know we were instructed to be careful how we build.

It requires two or three witnesses for every word to be establised. Some are satisfied with just spirit and soul - they don't see that God still needs a Body in which to manifest as the third witness.

We are to see that we do not forsake the assembling of ourselves together.......our spirit, soul and body.

1. Spirit (heavens)

2. Soul (the bridge or interface between spirit and body, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (Soul)...our mind, will, emotions, and desire aligned with spirit provides streets of gold, a highway of wholeness for the spirit to walk into our Earth)

3. Body (earth)

Love and Grace to all,
Karen
***********************************************************************************
I know that we each hear the other from where we are in consciousness and wherever we each are is the only place we can be until we are moved into another glory. I am thankful for every level of glory that has been revealed in me. Remember when Paul said, "that it pleased the Father to reaveal his son in me". Well, it could not have been revealed in him if it wasn't there all the time. And like Leela was saying, our immortal, perfect self, called the Christ was there all the time, but I believe it was just still wrapped in the grave clothes of our old understandings until the word, "loose him and let him go" was inacted in our lives. \o/

Not long ago this understanding was given me:

I am/ we are first a child of God by CREATION.

But we are a mature God by FORMATION.

Everybody is a child of God, but not all are behaving as mature Gods. That is where Jesus our Pattern comes in. It calls him our Forerunner in Hebrews. That means we have had the path marked out well for us. We, too, have had to take up our cross and follow on to become what we already are. One of those enigmas again.

Paul, remarked that "he was travailing in birth until Christ was FORMED in them." And it is always the feminine that takes the seed and forms it for the man. Without having "the eyes of our understanding enlightened" or without having our mind penetrated by the spirit word or the man, we cannot FORM the CHRIST a body in which to manifest his nature, or we cannot be the express image of the invisible God.

Creative formation to all you lords,
Karen

Rise Up Peter, Kill and Eat

Acts 10: 9… “Peter went up to the roof of the house to pray, about the sixth hour (noon). But he became very hungry and wanted something to eat; and while the meal was being prepared a trance came over him, And he saw the sky opened and something like a great sheet lowered by the four corners, descending to the earth. It contained all kinds of quadrupeds (four-footed) and wild beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the air, And there came a voice to him saying, Rise up, Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said, No, by no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unhallowed or (ceremonially) unclean. And the voice came to him again a second time, What God has cleansed and pronounced clean, do not you defile and profane by regarding and calling common and unhallowed or unclean. This occurred three times, then immediately the sheet was taken up to heaven.”

Peter went up to the roof of the house to pray. This is when you rise up in consciousness into the Christ mind.
Matt. 24: 17 “Let him who is on the housetop not come down and go into the house to take anything.”
When you come down from the “housetop”, so to speak, you are coming back down into your natural mind or reasoning and that is where all the “stuff” is. That is where all the doubts and fears and unbelief lives.

Peter went up on the roof of the house the sixth hour. If I am not mistaken that is 12 noon, just when the Sun is the highest and brightest. And six is the number of man, so this was an experience in God for Peter to come to the end of his natural mind and to experience the mind of God; the Christ mind.

He saw the heavens opened. Peter’s mind was opened to see as God sees.

He was shown a sheet full of beasts, creeping things and birds of the air that, to Peter’s old mind meant what was unclean and unacceptable to eat according to the law of the OT.

Because we know the ending of this story, we know that these beasts represented people because God was going to send Peter to minister to Cornelius, a gentile who was a Roman, and to a house full of his friends and relatives who would be waiting. (these scriptures can, of course, be taken in the house or within and seen from that level too)

Lets look at a few more scriptures about the beasts:
Gen. 1:26 “Let us make Man in our image after our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.”
Gen. 7: 13 –16 All of the beasts clean and unclean, and of the birds and fowls, and every thing that creeps on the ground. They went in two and two with Noah into the ark. And the Lord shut him in.”

Let me add a few words here about Noah to show how all these beasts are pictures of humanity still living in their carnality or if taken within, areas of our mind that are unenlightened. When God gave Noah a word to build an ark and Noah fulfilled and obeyed that word, that ark became a visible representation or manifestation of the Word of God.

When all the beasts and Noah and his family entered that ark, they were in effect entering into the WORD. It says in 1 Peter 3: 18-20 that eight were saved by the water and word. So the Ark is the Word and the flood was the water or spirit. These eight and all of the rest of God’s creation represented by the beasts were a picture of the full and complete redemption of all. Not all had to be in the ark literally, for God to show this, but just a representation of all of creation in whatever state it was in –hence, clean and unclean beasts were taken into the ark.

Eight is a number of new beginnings so Noah and his family and all of the beasts were going to step out in God’s appointed time to start life in a new world or a new dimension of life. This is a picture of complete deliverance for all.

Okay, back to Peter. “Rise up, Peter, kill and eat.” To fulfill this word requires a rising up or an ascension in consciousness. But don’t miss the injunction to “kill” first. As I pondered on this word to Peter, I asked spirit what “kill” meant if this was a picture of people that Peter was being shown and what in the world would it mean if we were to kill them first before we could eat them. Spirit gave me the word from 2 Cor. 5:14 “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead.” Paul said in another place about presenting all men perfect in Christ. So, we have to see all men dead in Christ and resurrected in him and that is how we “kill” them in the sense of this word being shown to Peter.

After the flesh has been inactivated through the atoning work of Christ, then and only then, can you “eat” of it. As an illustration: if you eat an apple, you don’t become an apple, the apple becomes you through transmutation. All the elements in the apple, the vitamins and minerals are changed into a form by digestion that the body can assimilate, all the way into the cells of your body. What was once in the plant kingdom has been raised into the animal kingdom by transmutation. In the same way, when you take creation unto yourself, you don’t become what they are, they become what you are in Christ. Remember what is put into fire, becomes fire.

“Don’t call common or unclean what I have cleansed”, God told him. Whosever sins you remit are remitted and whosever sins you retain are retained. And anything you retain in another, I might add, you are retaining in yourself, because you are the one holding on to it.

We are to know no man after the flesh. But the hardest thing is to not know yourself after the flesh. We are to retain no one, not even ourselves after an earthly carnal knowing, because we are denying the Lord when we do so, for He that is joined to the Lord is One Spirit.

But you ask, “Isn’t that going to give all kinds of liberty to the flesh to manifest?” Until you can know and see yourself as God created you and that you are hidden with Christ in God and center yourself in that knowing, you will be believing the lies and condemnation of the carnal mind. It is in actuality, the act of denying the Lord, when we deny what we are in Christ and believe the old man. This centering yourself in Christ does not produce more of the works of the flesh, it in fact, does the exact opposite. You so fall in love with Love that your desire is toward Him.

This sheet was let down three times and shown to Peter. Three is the number of resurrection. I see this as a picture of: once for the spirit, once for the soul, and once for the body, showing complete resurrection and deliverance for us and all mankind.

We each as parts of humanity carry creation in us written in all of our genes. We stand for untold thousands that have come before us and even for all possible future generations for that matter as well. Each of us represent the “tribes of humanity” just as the High Priest took all of Israel behind the veil into the Holy of Holies on the day of atonement because of the 12 stones on his ephod that represented each of the tribes, we have the privilege of taking all our tribes behind the veil of our flesh and presenting them perfect in Christ Jesus.

So the next time the spirit calls you to “Rise up, kill and eat” let us not be afraid to eat what God has cleansed. It is our privilege and joy to be Saviors upon Mt. Zion, the high place of God.

The Very Certainty of the Presence

Let's look at the words, it is finished , or the word finished for a moment.

John 17:4
I have glorified You down here on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do. Or by finishing the work.

I'm not much for word studies, but I wanted to check on this word finished. This passage comes from the Greek in Strongs 5048- means to complete, accomplish, consumate, fulfill, make perfect

John 19:30 When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished! and He bowed His head and gave up his spirit.

this is # 5055 which means complete, execute, conclude, discharge a debt, make an end, expire and it is from #5056 which means to set out for a definite point or goal.

Jesus prayed in John 17 "I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil [one].

and Heb. 6:19 [Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul - it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it - [a hope] that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the the Presence] within the veil.
Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

If Jesus is our Pattern Elder Brother, these passages mean to me that He completed HIS assignment. He did not complete our assignment for us. He went ahead for us. He was the break through Pioneer. He blazed a trail - He marked the path- but that does not exempt us from walking the same trail. We have our assignment in this earth realm as well as he. He patterned our assignment. In fact he said "Just as you have sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

I believe the certainty of obtaining the promise of our completion lies in entering into this place within the veil where it is already finished or completed. "Without a vision, the people perish". We have not caught the vison of Ourselves looking like a finished Christ being. We still have had a concept that it is not finished and I can some day be finished. This is the view point when you look from time, but from behind the veil, we are most magnificent creatures. When we come out from behind the veil, for we still do go in and out, we are able to "loose him (the Christ that we are that is still wrapped with some of the old wrappings) and let him (Christ) go.) I just answered a question that I have had about that. For once I see myself in the True Light I can't abide the false image that ego has wrapped me in this realm.

Enoch you said something in one of your former posts ( I don't know where it is to quote you exactly now) but it really put the pieces together for me about how to enter or live in the Now. Okay, let me say it in my own words how I interpreted you: Today is always the day of salvation or that is a way of saying that Now is always just a freeze-framed bit of eternity and time is made up of all these framed bits that we call linear time. We have not really known how to escape time or "this world" because we have not known how to slip between the cracks of time and space to the broad expanses of No Time where all is completed.

I don't think that we are literally, or physically to leave this world until our assignments as Saviors on Mt. Zion are finished, but we can leave this world in our consciousness or awareness. When we slip through this narrow way that Jesus referred to, we have escaped the ravages of time and death and hell. And when we behold him there, we actually are beholding OURSELVES in finished form.

O Glory Be To our Most High Father, it is while "Beholding Him we are changed into the very same image." While Beholding Him, we are actually beholding Ourselves. This is why I asked you about meditation. I don't think the western mind is very good at knowing how to Be Still and Know I am God. I want to know more how to enter this place of No Time and Behold My True Self.

Much love, peace, blessing and strength to you all in fulfilling your own assignments here. We are workers together, co-creators together with Him.

Kabbalistic View of Creation

Years ago before I gave much thought to the subject of 'oneness', the following statement seemed to grab my attention and I jotted it down.

I Am
I Am Conscious
I Appear

Mind
Idea
& Expression

Thinker
Thought
Action

Spirit relates to I Am
Soul relates to I Am Conscious
Body relates to manifestation or I Appear

or Father, Son and Holy Spirit

I will attempt to share some interesting thoughts I recently came across that tries to break down in as simple a manner as possible the Jewish Kabbalistic view of creation which contains this thought of Oneness:

"Now since I am ONE and absolute, it follows that ONE is the only real number - the only legitimate reality. As the Deity, I think I would be quite happy in my condition of oneness, and leave it at that, but something clearly happened to induce me to create. In order for me to create the many things in the universe, I would need to create more numbers.

I was alone and bored, and began to ponder the nature of myself. "What Am I?" This was difficult because I was the only ONE. I had nothing else with which to compare myself. I wasn't a "this" or a "that" because I had not yet created "thises" or "thats". I was the absolute, there was no "outside" of me. I could not hold a mirror and look at my image and say, "Oh, look! I'm one of those!" I could, however, with great stillness and concentration, turn the focus of my attention inward and, observe my perfect reflection at the very center of my being. I would then for the first time be conscious of myself. "I am this!" I would shout.

Even instantly, as these words echoed in my absoluteness, I would fall from my pristine state of singularity, for I would now have to admit the concept of TWO.

Myself ("I am...")
(1)
and my reflection ("...this")
(2)

Oh! Curse the moment I ever brought TWO into existence, because the moment my Self became conscious of my reflection (Not-Self), a third concept was created, that is....the 'knowledge' of the 'difference' between Self and Not-Self. "I am 'this' but 'that'is not I.

conclusion: I assert that creation commenced when the Deity stirred from undistracted ecstasy and became self-conscious, an act which transformed Its self-existence (as the inscrutable Divine Unity) into Its self-image (as the Deity of creation). Therefore, I suggest that we consider the number THREE as one of our primary holy numbers.

Since TWO and THREE are merely attributes of ONE, (it takes 2 ones to make a two and 3 ones to make a three) they should be considered along with the number ONE as a Trinity Unit.

(Picture a pyramid with the number (1) at the top and the number (2) on the bottom left and the number (3) on the bottom right) - The Superal Triad

Now the Trinity Unit behaves in precisely the same manner as the original ONE did when it reflected itself to become TWO. It reflects itself to create a second Trinity Unit.

(this time picture an inverted pyramid with the number (4) on the upper right and the number (5) on the upper left and the number (6) on the bottom....remember this is created by reflecting the first pyramid.

(The Third Trinity Unit is another inverted pyramid of 7, 8 and 9 a third condition created simultaneouly with the second)...remember with Self consciousness comes the 'knowledge' that I am conscious and this is the third condition.

So creation commences when the Deity defines itself and becomes self-conscious - a three-part act which defines ONE as an abstract and unmanifested Trinity (the Supernal Traid) But Deity cannot stop at self-knowledge. Momemtum has been established which will result in a further series of six (a 4,5 an6) and &(a 7,8 and 9)

The Divine Light first projects from the Superal Triad.

Then shatters like sunlight through a prism and filters through the next six descending emanations...

Until it finally manifests (through our point of view) on the material plane - Earth - which is the number 10.

I believe that the Ten hangs like a cosmic berry and provides enviornment - a Kingdom - that traps the different fused and crystallized divine light inside a prison of matter. We live in this Kingdom. It is the lowest of the emanations. It is where the Divine Light vibrates at its lowest frequency. It is where the invisible becomes visible." end quote

Well, I know you probably wonder why I shared this but I find sometimes we have to get out of our scripture comfort zones for they hold us in certain patterns that we have been taught to believe and what is most familiar to our ego or outer consciousness. If there is anything that our ego minds hate and that is to be left out of the loop and have nothing in its data bank to compare a new thought with or against. That's why I like the word contemplation. If we can put information that may be new to us in a neutral zone and not judge it this or that, right or wrong, good or evil and just contemplate it, I think that is a more conducive atmosphere for spirit to teach us.

If this analogy is true, there are truly "superal" re-memberances for us to partake of as our minds are re-newed!

Love and communion
remembrance and Unity,

The Ugly Duckling


I think we are at the closing of an age whose manna no longer feeds and sustains our growing consciousness'. What can appear and even feel to be our death throes may really in fact be our birth pains. Ask most mothers - I know that I wondered if birthing a child was as close as you can get to death while helping to bring life into this world. But that was just my 25 hour experience.

A great shift in consciousness is happening in those who would dare to want more than where they have been.

In all births, the placenta is discarded - what had been so vital to the child's growth in his dark watery world no longer serves him in his new world of light and air. This new world is one where he discovers his own identity and grows into his own new self.

For me, this question of our True Identity is paramount. If we never know who we really are, we forever wrestle with what we are not.

What about the UNspiritual? Those who have not the slightest confidence that they will successfully do "their part" so that God will succeed in doing "his part"?

What if you thought you were the Ugly Duckling and lived as if you believed this and all along you were a beautiful grace-full swan? Doesn't the story tell of this Ugly Duckling, getting a glimpse of himself in the water (spirit) and seeing his True Self?

I am going to take the liberty to post a few paragraphs of Han Christian Anderson's, "The Ugly Duckling". Okay, I know, this probably sounds like such a foolish and childish thing to share, but some of these little stories were born out of the collective consciouness of man and are archetypes and higher truths told so simply. Hey, at least its not Bible again, huh. :) Here goes:

“Yes, do,” said the hen. So the duckling left the cottage, and soon found water on which it could swim and dive, but was avoided by all other animals, because of its ugly appearance. Autumn came, and the leaves in the forest turned to orange and gold. then, as winter approached, the wind caught them as they fell and whirled them in the cold air. The clouds, heavy with hail and snow-flakes, hung low in the sky, and the raven stood on the ferns crying, “Croak, croak.” It made one shiver with cold to look at him. All this was very sad for the poor little duckling. One evening, just as the sun set amid radiant clouds, there came a large flock of beautiful birds out of the bushes. The duckling had never seen any like them before. They were swans, and they curved their graceful necks, while their soft plumage shown with dazzling whiteness. They uttered a singular cry, as they spread their glorious wings and flew away from those cold regions to warmer countries across the sea. As they mounted higher and higher in the air, the ugly little duckling felt quite a strange sensation as he watched them. He whirled himself in the water like a wheel, stretched out his neck towards them, and uttered a cry so strange that it frightened himself. Could he ever forget those beautiful, happy birds; and when at last they were out of his sight, he dived under the water, and rose again almost beside himself with excitement. He knew not the names of these birds, nor where they had flown, but he felt towards them as he had never felt for any other bird in the world. He was not envious of these beautiful creatures, but wished to be as lovely as they. Poor ugly creature, how gladly he would have lived even with the ducks had they only given him encouragement. The winter grew colder and colder; he was obliged to swim about on the water to keep it from freezing, but every night the space on which he swam became smaller and smaller. At length it froze so hard that the ice in the water crackled as he moved, and the duckling had to paddle with his legs as well as he could, to keep the space from closing up. He became exhausted at last, and lay still and helpless, frozen fast in the ice.

Early in the morning, a peasant, who was passing by, saw what had happened. He broke the ice in pieces with his wooden shoe, and carried the duckling home to his wife. The warmth revived the poor little creature; but when the children wanted to play with him, the duckling thought they would do him some harm; so he started up in terror, fluttered into the milk-pan, and splashed the milk about the room. Then the woman clapped her hands, which frightened him still more. He flew first into the butter-cask, then into the meal-tub, and out again. What a condition he was in! The woman screamed, and struck at him with the tongs; the children laughed and screamed, and tumbled over each other, in their efforts to catch him; but luckily he escaped. The door stood open; the poor creature could just manage to slip out among the bushes, and lie down quite exhausted in the newly fallen snow.

It would be very sad, were I to relate all the misery and privations which the poor little duckling endured during the hard winter; but when it had passed, he found himself lying one morning in a moor, amongst the rushes. He felt the warm sun shining, and heard the lark singing, and saw that all around was beautiful spring. Then the young bird felt that his wings were strong, as he flapped them against his sides, and rose high into the air. They bore him onwards, until he found himself in a large garden, before he well knew how it had happened. The apple-trees were in full blossom, and the fragrant elders bent their long green branches down to the stream which wound round a smooth lawn. Everything looked beautiful, in the freshness of early spring. From a thicket close by came three beautiful white swans, rustling their feathers, and swimming lightly over the smooth water. The duckling remembered the lovely birds, and felt more strangely unhappy than ever.

“I will fly to those royal birds,” he exclaimed, “and they will kill me, because I am so ugly, and dare to approach them; but it does not matter: better be killed by them than pecked by the ducks, beaten by the hens, pushed about by the maiden who feeds the poultry, or starved with hunger in the winter.”

Then he flew to the water, and swam towards the beautiful swans. The moment they espied the stranger, they rushed to meet him with outstretched wings.

“Kill me,” said the poor bird; and he bent his head down to the surface of the water, and awaited death.

But what did he see in the clear stream below? His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck’s nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan’s egg. He now felt glad at having suffered sorrow and trouble, because it enabled him to enjoy so much better all the pleasure and happiness around him; for the great swans swam round the new-comer, and stroked his neck with their beaks, as a welcome.

Into the garden presently came some little children, and threw bread and cake into the water.

“See,” cried the youngest, “there is a new one;” and the rest were delighted, and ran to their father and mother, dancing and clapping their hands, and shouting joyously, “There is another swan come; a new one has arrived.”

Then they threw more bread and cake into the water, and said, “The new one is the most beautiful of all; he is so young and pretty.” And the old swans bowed their heads before him.

Then he felt quite ashamed, and hid his head under his wing; for he did not know what to do, he was so happy, and yet not at all proud. He had been persecuted and despised for his ugliness, and now he heard them say he was the most beautiful of all the birds. Even the elder-tree bent down its bows into the water before him, and the sun shone warm and bright. Then he rustled his feathers, curved his slender neck, and cried joyfully, from the depths of his heart, “I never dreamed of such happiness as this, while I was an ugly duckling.”
***************************************

So, "To be born in a duck’s nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan’s egg."

We are spirit and have always been spirit and I believe just because this spirit or energy has been slowed down as Bro. Einstein tells (Apostle Paul said we were lowered) to appear as solid matter in this 3D world and experience all the privations that is created from the 'duck consciousness' does not change its swanlike origins. I acted like a duck, thought I was a duck, and did 'duck' things until, I found out I have never really been a duck at all. But because I have lived a duck's life, I now am not just a baby spirit or in this case "swan" but I have grown in consciousness and experience to have mercy on all the other swans who think they too are just a duck.

We all really are connected at the spirit level or as new science calls it, the quantum level, so that when one of us suffers, we all suffer. And when one rejoices, we do so rejoice with you.

Grace-full wishes to all beautiful swans pretending they are a duck :)

Our Inheritance This Side of the Jordan

There was a popular word shared by Bro. Bill Britton many years ago that he entitled “The 42nd Generation”. I will share some quotes from this in this writing as a foundation for the direction I want to go here and will indicate his words in quotation marks when I do.

“The Sons of God are all numbered! The Bible says so…”He telleth the number of the stars, He calleth them all by their names.” (Psa. 147:4) Now surely you don’t think he was just talking about those bright lights you see up in the sky at night? Beloved, the stars that God is interested in enough to name and number are the stars referred to in Daniel 12:3 and Rev. 1:20, The Sons of God that shall turn many to righteousness, and shall be found in His right hand at His coming! The prophet Isaiah cried out in Isa. 40:26, “Lift up you eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number…”

There is a strange verse in Matthew 1, dealing with numbers that can only be understood by seeing the full revelation of the corporate Christ that is coming forth in His image:
“So all the generations from Abraham to David are FOURTEEN generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are FOURTEEN generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon into CHRIST are FOURTEEN generations.”

THE MISSING GENERATION

“Now get your Bibles out and you will discover by reading the first sixteen verses of the book of Matthew that sure enough David was number 14 of the generations listed, and Jeconias ( the king who went into Babylon) was number 28, or 14 in the second list, but then you find that Joseph the husband of Mary was number 40 in the list, making him the 12th generation from the carrying away into Babylon. This makes Jesus, according to law, the 41st generation, or the 13th one on the 3rd list. Why? Where is the 42nd generation? Why did it seemingly leave the list incomplete with Jesus who left no son to carry on his name or bring in the next final generation?

I propose to show you that the 42nd generation referred to as Christ in Matt. 1:17 refers to the Christ in 1 Cor. 12:12, 27. The 42nd generation is not Jesus alone, but it is His son, the overcomer of Rev. 21:7. It is that company of people spoken of by Isa. 8:12 and Heb. 2:13 as “the children God hath given me.” …This is the generation of Jesus Christ, an “ecclesia” called out of all ages and all generations, those who are the true seed of Abraham, who are “joint heirs with Christ,” who rule and reign with Him on the throne of their father David!

Turn with me and now and read the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, that precious messianic prophecy referring to our lovely Saviour, written some 700 years before His birth. Notice verses 8 – 10..
“He was taken from prison and from judgment: and WHO SHALL DECLARE HIS GENERATIION? For He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken. And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him, He hath put Him to grief; when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, HE SHALL SEE HIS SEED, HE SHALL PROLONG HIS DAYS, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.”

Now it is easy to see what this scripture is speaking of. The prophecy says that he would be stricken and cut off from the land of the living before he had brought forth any children to carry on his name or “prolong his days.”…..

Then seemingly the prophet is amazed as the revelation that is coming forth through him, for he starts verse 10 with “yet..” And though this One he prophesied about has been cut off with evidently no one to “declare his generation” yet, we find the Word of the Lord saying “HE SHALL SEE HIS SEED HE SHALL PROLONG HIS DAYS…” But I declare to you today that it is not natural children after the flesh that it is talking about…it is a clear and definite reference to the “missing generation” of Matthew, chapter one.

Psalms 22:30-31 “ A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for A GENERATION. They shall come, and shall DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this.” I don’t care how many times the agnostics, unbelievers, and lukewarm Christians, say that it can’t be done, I declare to you that God’s Word says a generation shall come forth and walk in His righteousness upon this earth. Praise God! Aren’t you glad that you are a part of this “chosen generation”.

Isaiah 61: 9 says it all: “All that see them shall acknowledge them, THAT THEY ARE THE SEED WHICH THE LORD HATH BLESSED.”

If Jesus has brethren, then He is an elder brother. If he has children, as seed to declare His generation, then He must be a father. Lets look at Isaiah again chapter 9, verse 6…
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, the prince of Peace.

The prophet does not apologize, he simply states that a child is born, that this child is a Son, that he shall rule and reign…..He could be speaking of no one other than our Lord Jesus. Now, if He Jesus, is the everlasting Father, then who is His Son. If he is the 41st generation from Abraham, then who is the 42nd? The number 42 is 6 times 7. Six being the number of man, seven divine perfection. It is this 42nd generation, by receiving the life of the Son born from above by the seed of God, not Adam, who finally in the last days brings man to the state of perfection.” End of quote by Bill Britton

*****************************************
It is Christ in you that is the hope of glory…not Christ in heaven , but IN YOU. And I might add that it is Christ AS YOU THAT IS THE GLORY. We have to move beyond just a hope. Christ wants to come out of his hidden place from within that we might be clothed upon and that He might be manifested to the world.

I first came into this word back in the late 70’s and was an avid reader of Bro. Bill Britton’s and, Bro.George Hawtin’s material, for I was so hungry for deeper truth and had just left organized religion. Their writings helped to establish me in the message of Sonship (growing up into the full stature of Christ) and in the word of reconciliation (the salvation of all).

While reading the bible one day about the conquests of the children of Israel, I was struck with three particular tribes and their request for their inheritance on the East side of the Jordanor before all Israel had crossed the Jordan. I always thought that Israel didn't come into the Promised Land until they crossed the Jordan. And I have always heard these three tribes preached in a disparaging way. But spirit, was giving me, I believe, a totally different picture of them and, for me, they were outer pictures of an inner truth that was being made real in me. And that truth was that there would be a people stand on this earth demonstrating the fullness of Christ, the perfection of Christ while yet in a body. They would come into full salvation demonstrating spirit, soul and body salvation without tasting death. Or in other words, they would inherit this side of Jordan, Jordan being a symbol for death.

These three tribes were Reuben, Gad and Manasseh. Reuben’s name means: (Heb) “to behold or see a son.” This son is manifested or seen is the emphasis being made here.

Gad’s name means: (Heb) “fortune (in the sense of distributing) and a troop who invades or overcomes.

And Manasseh who is the grandson of Jacob and son of Joseph and his name means “causing to forget”. After Joseph came to the throne, and had his firstborn son he named him Manasseh because he said God had caused him to forget all he had endured before coming to the throne.

In these three names I see the presenting of the overcomer spoken of in Revelation. God is saying “ I have a tried and tested Son here, he has overcome and I have caused him to forget all the former things he has endured: I have wiped away all tears.” And in these three I also see a picture of the spirit, soul and body that receives its full inheritance.

These three tribes (actually it was two and half tribes because only half the tribe of Manasseh asked for their inheritance which says to me that this blessing of having all tears wiped away is not just for the first-fruit company of enchristed ones but for the rest of creation as they too come into their inheritance) requested from Moses that they receive their inheritance in the land that the Israelites had just conquered which was the land of Heshbon whose king was Sihon, and the land of Bashan ruled by the last of the giants, king Og.

All of the men of war in Israel had died by the 38th year before they came to this hill country ( higher, more elevated dimensions) on the eastern side of the Jordan as God told them they would. Only those who were born in the wilderness were allowed to take the new land. All those old warring concepts, which come from the tree of good and evil, and keep you in duality thinking and separation from God, will have to be exterminated from our thinking to be able to take this land. You will have to be of single eye, purpose and vision. ( Deut. 2:14-16)

Before we proceed any further, I would like to point out something I don’t think that many realize and that is that the land that God promised to Abraham was not just over on the western side of the Jordan, but this is the promise he made to him:

“..To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates…” (Gen 15:18) That would be the Nile River of today all the way back to the Euphrates which today is part of Iraq. I am not interested in getting into any present day natural discussion of these facts, but am desirous to see what their spiritual application is to us within the promised land that we are.

The king of Heshbon was Sihon.

Heshbon means: (Heb) power of thinking; reason; understanding; intelligence; purposing; inventing; arts; devises

Sihon means: (Heb) wiping out; uprooting; eradicating; exterminating; sweeping away, ie., as a warrior sweeping all before him; great; extreme boldness.

This is a king and his land that must be conquered. It speaks of the carnal mind and our need to “Refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the (true) knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One.” (I Cor. 10:5)

The king of Bashan was the giant Og.

Bashan means: (Heb) light sandy soil; smooth fertile field; fruitful.

This is a desirous place to be but there were squatters in that land promised to the Israelites that had to be routed.

In this case it was Og which means: (Heb) long-necked giant.

I believe that this means this king, or thought realm has had a very powerful hold in the consciousness of man that keeps him from coming into a fertile, fruitful place in God.

But God told Moses that the Israelites were to begin to possess these lands for he had given it unto them. They took all the cities and it says these were high walled cities fortified with haughty walls, gates and bars, but God gave it all to them. This speaks of a complete deliverance for us: that no weapon formed against us shall prosper.

After the full and complete routing of all from the land, Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh found this land to be very desirous and requested from Moses their inheritance. Moses chided them for wanting their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan saying it would dissuade the rest of the children of Israel from rising up and taking the rest of the promised land on the west of the Jordan. But they pledged their fidelity to Moses and their brothers telling them:

“But we will be ready armed to go before the Israelites, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified settlements because of the people of the land. We will not return to our homes until the Israelites have inherited every man his inheritance. For we will not inherit with them on the (west) side of Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.” ( Amp. Num 32:17)

It says in Numbers 34:15 “The two and one-half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan at Jericho, toward the SUNRISE."

The ‘sunrise/SONrise' speaks to me of a people coming into their inheritance at the dawning of the Day. Are we not His Day and is this not The Day of the Lord? I have a copy of the book of Jasher, which is mentioned in in the Bible in the book of Chronicles and it says that they led their brethren into battle and were the first to cross the Jordan and they stayed with them for seven years until the rest of their brethren conquered the land and came into their rest or inheritance too.

The prevailing thought in religion today is that you get your inheritance in the by and by after you die and go to heaven, or metaphorically speaking, cross the Jordan. They can’t see that the word always says Today is the day of salvation. It is always Now with spirit. God is always present tense, I AM. When we walk in the light, [or when we walk in His present Presence] we are one with The Day.

Well, as I was saying I felt back then (70’s) that I was being shown through this example a people that represent the firstfruits or the 144,000 that Revelation speaks of. So, excitedly I turned to Numbers where the tribes are all numbered and felt for sure when I added up the total of them all it just had to come out to 144,000 . Well, it didn’t. I was confident that in time I would receive an answer about this so just moved on to other things as we all do.

Just a few years ago I finally received an answer to this question that I held before the spirit. In numerology, numbers are reduced down to their lowest value. Let me illustate:

Reuben numbered 43,730 which equals 4+3+7+3+0= 17
Gad numbered 40,500 which equals 4+0+5+0+0= 9
½ Manasseh numbered 26,350 which equals 2+6+3+5+0= 16

17 + 9 + 16 = 42

Here we are at the number 42 again, the missing generation. If there is truth in anything, you should be able to find it duplicated in our Pattern, Jesus. I found references where he would resort beyond the Jordan (east) several times.

In John 1:28-29 “These things occurred in Bethany across the Jordan (at the Jordan crossing) where John was baptizing. The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world!”

Jesus began his ministry, and was baptized by John, east of the Jordan. If this is true for Him, would it not also be true for those who are in His full image? Will we come into the full-measure anointing this side of Jordan?

Jesus was also transfigured on Mt. Hermon, which was land that was allotted to these tribes originally. The glory and light of his inner being outrayed him to the outside showing us his glory and giving us a glimpse of the glory that, too, is ours in him. We pray that these few thoughts prove to be a blessing and encourage us to believe for the fullness of him, body, soul and spirit in ourselves. How can the head be all-glorious and the body be any less?

Abundant blessings to all,
Karen

Quantum Awakening

I feel like we have once again crossed a new threshold in consciousness. I know I am not the only one feeling this newness of being. We are in the dawning of our new day and when I say ‘our’, I am finding that that ‘our’, at least in my understanding, is being expanded in me in ways that I would not have thought possible a few years ago. I believe we are on the brink of a quantum awakening for all mankind, a crossing over in consciousness for all, not just a selected few. But I do believe that the few have become a collective whole, or a key that opens a door for the all that they too may cross over.

This morning upon awakening, I was cognizant of the fact that as soon as I was conscious, I commented to myself, that just a moment ago I was dreaming, but I was now awake. I began to ponder on the reality of this phenomenon, that one moment you can be in the altered state of consciousness called sleep and a moment later, be quite awake. But before coming out of your altered state of consciousness there are many stages of sleep you have come through to bring you up to a fully awakened state.

The deepest sleep is called the delta state in which the brain waves are at their slowest. The next stage is the theta state, which is still a deeper state but not quite as deep or as slow as the delta. Coming up a little higher you approach the alpha state, which is just below the beta, which is being fully conscious.

When Jesus came two days ago (2000 years) or the day before yesterday he declared that he would do cures and cast out devils (our misperceptions), but on the third day he would be perfected or finish his course. He also said “Destroy this body and in three days he would raise it up.” Jesus came at a time when man was deeply asleep. He entered into the dream (or more correctly, the nightmare) that Adam or mankind was having, but he entered and became the first one to be fully awake here. He came to get his voice into our dream or nightmare and by his death, burial and resurrection, he spoke quite loudly to us in our delta (deep) sleep mode. He came into our dream to show us who we really are by demonstrating what a fully awake son of God is. Regardless of appearances, mankind has been awakening from his dream world within ever since. There is more truth coming out from every corner and sector of society than there ever has. We see it in movies, spiritual books of all kinds, self-help books of all kinds, science is discovering spiritual truth, many more programs on T.V. where truth is breaking through, etc. Even though all are not fully awake, they are coming up out of their deep sleep states and even approaching consciousness, all because Jesus came into our dream . It is called lucid dreaming when you become conscious and realize you are dreaming in the middle of your dream and then you can consciously direct your dreams outcome.

The past two days, God has awakened some of us in the midst of our dream. Yes, we are still here in Adam’s dream, but we are awake in the midst of it to direct it to a new outcome that is in alignment with the purposes of God for this earth. Jesus prayed, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. We are not going anywhere or getting out of here, until that prayer is fulfilled on earth. I know that all truth can be spiritualized and brought into the ‘house’, but I believe that this truth is going to be a ‘without’ reality as much as it is a ‘within’ reality. Jesus said, “When you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” In other words, he could say , “Touch me, feel me, everything about me is manifesting God. My hands are God, my heart is God, my organs are God. I have brought God all the way to the physical level. I am the word made flesh.” We have conversely said, “Don’t look at me, don’t see my flesh, just know me by the spirit. We have had to do that, because we know that our outer man is aging and dying and getting sick and it has not demonstrated the life of God in the flesh. We have not brought God all the way to the flesh level so much so, that you can say that when you see this flesh and the state that it is in you are seeing the life of God.” God doesn’t get sick, age or die. The word has been made flesh and now it is time for the flesh to be made word. Out of the twain, one New Man. We have discredited the body and been quite willing to discard it as worthless, but it has a spiritual destiny as well. I have no controversy with those who are called to cross over and lay their bodies down… all before us have and many yet will, but just like Moses was told that he must build the tabernacle exactly to the pattern he was shown in the mount, so too must we build our tabernacle exactly according the pattern (Jesus) shown us at Mount Calvary.

He demonstrated how transformation works. We know an airplane is so designed that once it achieves a certain speed on the runway, it lifts into the air, defying common sense as tons of steel rise into the thin air. How? By obeying the invisible laws of aerodynamics, which govern the flow of invisible air. Jesus represented an analogous, extraordinary moment of lift from Earthbound to airborne.

We had to see one airplane fly only one time to know that it was possible, and eventually to fill the air with flying objects obeying this law.

Likewise, we only require one person to lift beyond involuntary death to know it is possible and eventually to fill the future with people who can lift from corruptible to incorruptible bodies, doing as Jesus did, and even more.

To do as he did we must be as he is. The seven spirits of God, must be ours as well as his, if we are to be like him. Jesus personified these seven spirits of God. He combined them all in one person.

All the saints and seers taught the same lessons as Jesus – to love God above all else and your neighbor as your self. Jesus added one essential awareness: that the individual has a personal future in a transformed body to continue the work of the Creator, evolving the Creation, until all creatures are in the image of God.

Jesus fulfills the lives and works of other saints and seers of the human race by carrying godliness to its natural next step: the empowerment of the individual to be like God. He died and then rebuilt his body, and ascended to the next plane, leaving no corpse to disintegrate and return, recycled, to live again. He broke the wheel of birth, death and rebirth ad infinitum for all those that believe in reincarnation. Those who follow his path need never be reborn in a creature-human body. Nor need they linger, souls-in-waiting, like the elders in the book of Revelation. They can act on behalf of the Creator, forever. They can get on with the task of creation. Thank God that at last the next phase has begun. “Thou hast made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth” say the elders while they have patiently endured while awaiting the fullness of time.

All before us, have lived in the two day interim, that part where Jesus said, “I do cures and cast out devils”, but we have not entered experientially into the third day rising of his body because we were not fully awake enough to appropriate its truth. The dawning of that day in our consciousness is here now. We know that there is no time in God or in eternity, but we have elected to live in a 3rd dimensional planet whereby it operates by height, width, breath (3 dimensions) plus the added factor of time making it a 3rd and 4th dimensional time-space continuum. This next awareness is bringing us into a whole new consciousness that many call 5th dimensional awareness. This is where whatever you think, manifests without a time lag. It is the realm of manifestation. We have mercifully not had every thought that we think, manifest instantly in this slower dimension, for our minds were not renewed enough to maintain God’s thoughts at all times. But I am digressing from what I wanted to originally talk about – Quantum Awakening.

********************************

“At moments of Quantum Transformation, when a system is preparing to ‘leap’ from one order to the new order, God’s communication signals are intensified to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

We are in such a period now.

These signals are now intensifying to those electing to hear the inner voice for God.

“Out of the throne proceed lightnings and thunderings and voices.” God communication system is light and sound. God flashes messages thru light and sound waves that carry coherent information, which can be received and understood by properly attuned beings - by those who have chosen to listen and to follow the signals they receive in perfect faith that they are real.

Your mind-body system is a magnificent receiving/conceiving set. As your intention focuses on the aspiration to be godly, your receiving/conceiving set turns on. The signals begin to flow in. To the degree that you follow the signals, you will be guided to purify your system from the static of ego - and to join with others doing the same – until you discover a group of individuals each capable of receiving/conceiving the same information.

The Holy Spirit intensifies its actions at times of quantum transformation, pinpointing its messages precisely to those who are moving toward higher inner order amid increasing external disorder.

The elders, the lamps of fire, the seven Spirits of God, are a glimpse caught by John, of God communication system. “And out of the throne proceed lightnings and thunderings and voices. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.” Rev. 4:5

John saw because he desired to see. He saw in images his mind could formulate. You will see the communication system of God in other images because you, dearly beloved, live two thousand years later. Your intellects have been developed by science, which discovers more of God’s processes of creation. Your powers of conception have increased. You will see differently, in new images and in new words, but the actual events that you will see are same as what John divined.

Jesus Christ developed a mind-body system capable of knowing the universal language of evolution. One person was all that was needed to decipher the Book of Life and begin the decoding process that shall, in the fullness of time, be the God-given capacity of all humans who choose to go on to the next stage of evolution.

Jesus Christ was a new template, an individual quantum transformation that was as great a step from the creature-human (Adam) condition, as was the first Homo sapiens from earlier hominids. Jesus Christ, a future human, was capable of learning the language of God and teaching in parables and imprinting the memory of his words upon the minds of his disciples who wrote them down in an extremely limited form. The desire to transform was thereby awakened in those humans with an innate tendency to evolve Christ-capacities. In the fullness of these times, we will be able to manifest the same capabilities as Jesus did.

Our power will eventually be immeasurable greater, Jesus was alone, as a single co-creative human. In the future, after the moment of quantum transformation, everyone who survives will also be a co-creator. The New Jerusalem is a community of co-creative humans, a collective of natural Christs.

Proto-mutants like you, dearly beloved, are scattered across the face of the thinking globe, ready at any instant to go the Whole Way to become godlike beings in the image of God, joint heirs with Christ.

The Quantum Transformation will come when enough of you are ready. The purpose of this crossover generation, which is shifting from a living soul to a life-giving spirit, is to serve as links between those still in self-consciousness and those becoming God-conscious, natural Christs. This is the generation of the evolution of the self-centered into the God-centered. This is the generation of choice. Only the God-centered reach the Tree of Life.

Christ voice:
“Those who first experience the shift, not “in the spirit” as John did, but in the flesh, as I did, are to be guides during the tribulations. Their task is to help as many living souls as possible make the choice for God. Evangelists are proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is at hand. They are urging repentance and acceptance of Jesus as your personal savior. But they are not laying forth the image of the collective future of the human race as a generation of the saved. They have not yet envisioned what it well be like when everything works.

That is your task, dearly beloved, you of my New Order of the Future, who have eyes to see the reality and the beauty of my Design for you. It is you work to envision the New Jerusalem as the society of full humanity wherein each person is a co-creator. It is your blessed privilege to communicate this vision and to attract all with eyes to see and ears to hear, to participate in the creation.

YOU ARE TO PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE ALTERNATIVE TO ARMAGEDDON, WHICH IS THE PLANETARY PENTECOST, THE GREAT INSTANT OF CO-OPERATION. The day that the prophet Joel saw where his spirit would be poured out upon ALL flesh.

Those of you who hear these words now are to carry on the commandment given to John two thousand years ago: “Take it and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.” And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it up, and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and as soon a I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me “Thou must prophesy again before many peoples and nations, and tongues and kings.” Rev. 10: 8-11 You are not only to prophesy the end, the tribulations, and the New Jerusalem, you are to act it out. You are to discover the blueprint and become actual co-creators with God. You are to see the first fruits of the New Beginning.

Since you come two thousand years after I first spoke these words, your task is even greater. You are to do as I did and even greater. You are to do as I did and even more.

Dearly beloved, those of you who hold within you the code of life everlasting are now being awakened from within. It is I arising within you. I am now motivating each of you to move beyond your existing lives to your ever-evolving lives. You experience me from within as the fire in your heart to fulfill you destinies as natural Christs. You are the generation on the cusp between creature and co-creator. As you allow me to activate you from within I raise up your mind/body system so that you are capable of incorporating the “little book” into your very being.

This little book triggers the unused DNA with your genetic code. This is the information required for your transformation from separated self-consciousness to unified God-consciousness.

All of you who are now awakening to your own evolution are to gather. Find one another. Join spiritually. Through joining your genius will be revealed, your hearts, will be opened, your life partners attracted. You will be guided from within as to the design of the Planetary Birth and your roles in it. From every race, and nation you will prophesy that the transition from Homo sapiens to Homo universalis in now occurring. Your prophecy will call people to experience in you lifetime the Planetary Birth.”

THE NEW JERUSALEM IS THE SECOND GARDEN. It is humanity living at the next stage of evolution. It is us-in-the-future collectively, with all capabilities operating harmoniously – a community of natural Christs.

THE NEW JERUSALEM IS US IN CO-CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS, attuning to all life as Jesus did.

THE NEW JERUSALEM IS US IN AN EARTH/SPACE ENVIRONMENT, beginning a new technological revolution, restoring this Earth, and building new worlds, exploring our galaxy, and learning how God creates so we can co-create.

THE NEW JERUSALEM IS US IN SYNERGETIC, EMPATHIC ATTUNEMENT TO THE VOICE WITHIN. It is the genius of cluster of natural Christs cooperating with each other and God to meet the full range of needs of all humans who evolve through the Quantum Transformation. Self-government in the New Jerusalem will not depend on coercion or legislation to force obedience to the law. For it will be populated by those who have chosen to align their will with the will of God. There will be no lawyers of the old kind in the New Jerusalem, for everyone will be motivated, as Jesus was, not to destroy the law but to fulfill it.

THE NEW JERUSALEM IS US IN NEW, INCORRUPTIBLE BODIES capable of self healing, self-conception, self-regeneration, materialization and dematerialization, resurrection and ascension. In the second garden the Tree of Life grows. We are as the gods. We are created in the image of God and in the image of God we shall be.

THE NEW JERUSALEM IS US IN CONTACT WITH HIGHER BEINGS AS A SHARED EXPERIENCE. In new bodies, co-operating with each other in suprasexual attraction, in an Earth/space environment, each with the consciousness of a natural Christ, we encounter other life. What John saw “in the spirit” we shall know in actuality. Only higher beings can recognize higher beings. Just as a newborn babies cannot recognize their mothers, newborn planetary species cannot recognize the personifications of God who are more mature than they, until they themselves mature.

The scene John saw was the celebration of the birth of humanity now occurring in the universe beyond the doors of our five Earthwomb senses.

In the Quantum Instant, when the “trumpet” shall sound, awakening us from our Earthwomb slumber, hundreds of millions of human cells in the planetary body will open their inner eyes at once, in unison, and see together what John saw alone.

Seeing together after the birth, as we will do, will be different than seeing alone before the birth, as John did. Seeing alone, he was struck with awe until almost dead, and he arose to describe in prescientific, preuniversal images, a sight totally beyond human Earthwomb experience.

We who are in the generation experiencing the actual birth of Universal Humanity, will see clearly, face to face, what John say symbolically and intuitively.

Your current space program and genetic research are very early phases of new bodybuilding. Their purpose is to reveal to you how my invisible technologies of transformation and bodybuilding work, so that you may use them at will.

If you do not choose to have a new body to co-create with me, you will not have one. You may choose an impersonal future rather than the transpersonal future. The impersonal future is bodiless. You divest yourself of your personal memory and your DNA, and become an undifferentiated aspect of God.

The saints who are so impatient are those who believed in me and elected to follow my example, which is to have a new body in which to continue the work of creation. They shall be fulfilled in the fullness of time.

Those of you who happen to be alive at the time of the actual Quantum Instant, will be changed while still alive. You will not have to undergo physical death or the reconstitution process. Your co-creative system will turn on. It is being prepared now.

Do you desire regeneration? Do you feel an inner radiation? Do you sense a quantum change? Do you have a flame of expectation exciting you from within? If so, you are being prepared, or rather, you are preparing yourselves to be ready when the selection process comes.

Since no one knows exactly when that will be, you, must prepare for both eventualities: the possibility that you will die before the selection process; the possibility that you will be alive or “quick”, when it happens. In the first case you will be reconstituted. In the second case, you will be transformed

The critical mass represents those marked with the seal of the living God on their foreheads. They are all now sensing a total urgency to communicate the good news in every language, in all tongues, in a variety of symbols. They are impelled from within to link up with everyone who shares the same aspiration. Arise and alight and enflame your fellow humans with the expectation of life ever-evolving as co-creators of the future.”

These last entries are from the book "The Revelation our crisis is a birth" by Barbara Marx Hubbard.

We have been gestating in the womb of Mother earth and are now being born as a corporate Christ in the earth. The “heavens” have had to retain Him until the times of the restitution of all things. Now heaven and earth can come together as the New Creation Man not just as individuals, but as a corporate expression of the Christ. We can’t even imagine at this time what kind of world we will build with completely transformed minds. It will be as different as daylight and dark are. Whatever god can conceive of will be what manifests. This outer world will no longer be the manifestation of Adamic thinking, but will be manifested from the pure mind of God.

With all love,
Karen

Love Found A Way !!

The following is channeled information from a certain vessel that resonated deeply within me and I only share this because it spoke to me of the Matrix or Mother aspect of God that struggled to birth us into existence.

It also spoke truth to me that God also had to "lose" Its life to find it as us, making so true that scripture that says, "He that loses his life, shall find it."

"This absolute, ever-expanding, instantaneous psychic gestalt,

(definition of gestalt:)
set regarded as whole: a set of things such as a person's thoughts and experiences considered as a whole and regarded as amounting to more than the sum of its parts

which you may call God if you prefer, is so secure in its existence that it can constantly break itself down and rebuild itself. Its energy is so unbelievable that it does indeed form all universes; and because its energy is within and behind all universes, systems, and fields, it is indeed aware of each sparrow that falls, for it is each sparrow that falls.


There is being, as opposed to nonbeing. Now- and this will seem like a contradiction in terms- there is nonbeing. It is a state, not of nothingness, but a state in which probabilities and possibilities are known and anticipated but blocked from expression.

Dimly, through what you would call history, hardly remembered, there was such a state. It was a state of agony in which the powers of creativity and existence were known, but the ways to produce them were not known.This is the lesson that All That Is had to learn, and that could not be taught. This is the agony from which creativity originally was drawn, and its reflection is still seen.

Some of this discussion is bound to be distorted, because I must explain it to you in terms of time as you understand it. So I will speak of some indescribably distant past in which these events occurred. All That Is retains memory of that state, and it serves as a constant impetus toward renewed creativity. Each self, as a part of All that Is, therefore also retains memory of that state. It is for this reason that each minute consciousness is endowed with the impetus toward survival, change, development, and creativity. It is not enough that All That Is desires further being, but that each portion of It also carries this determination.Yet the agony itself was used as a means, and the agony itself served as an impetus, strong enough so the All That Is initiated within Itself the means to be.

If – and this is impossible – all portions but the most minute last ‘unit’ of All That Is were destroyed, All That Is would continue, for within the smallest portion is the innate knowledge of the whole. All That Is protects Itself, therefore, and all that It has and is and will create.The first state of agonized search for expression may have represented the birth throes of All That Is as we know it.

Pretend, then, that you possessed within yourself the knowledge of all the world’s masterpieces in sculpture and art, that they pulsed as realities within you, but that you had not physical apparatus, no knowledge of how to achieve them and you ached with the yearning to produce them. This, on an infinitesimally small scale, will perhaps give some idea of the agony that was felt.

Within All That Is, the wish, desire, and expectation of creativity existed before all other actuality. The strength and vitality of these desires and expectations then became in your terms so insupportable that All That Is was driven to find the means to produce them.In other words, All That Is existed in a state of being, but without the means to find expression for Its being. This is the state of agony of which we spoke, yet it is doubtful that without this ‘period’ of contracted yearning, All That Is could concentrate Its energy sufficiently enough to create the realities that existed in probable suspension within It.The agony and the desire to create represented Its proof of Its own reality. The feelings, in other words, were adequate proof to All That Is that It was.

At first all of probable reality existed as nebulous dreams within the consciousness of All That Is. Later, the unspecific nature of these ‘dreams’ grew more particular and vivid. The dreams became recognizable one from the other until they drew the conscious notice of All That Is. And with curiosity and yearning, All That Is paid more attention to Its own dreams.

It then purposely gave them more and more detail, and yearned toward this diversity and grew to love that which was not yet separate from itself. It gave consciousness and imagination to personalities while they still were but within Its dreams. They also yearned to be actual.

Potential individuals, had consciousness before the beginning or any beginning as you know it then. They clamored to be released into actuality, and All That Is, in unspeakable sympathy, sought within Itself for the means.

In Its massive imagination, It understood that the cosmic multiplication of consciousness that could not occur within that framework. Actuality was necessary if these probabilities were to be given birth. All That Is saw, then, an infinity of probable, conscious individuals, and foresaw all possible developments, but they were locked within It until It found the means.

This was in your terms a primary cosmic dilemma, and one with which It wrestled until All That Is was completely involved and enveloped within that cosmic problem.Had it not solved it, All That Is would have faced insanity, and there would have been, literally, a reality without reason and a universe run wild.

The pressure came from two sources: from the conscious but still probable individual selves (us) who found themselves alive in a God’s dream, and from the God who yearned to release them.On the other hand, you could say that the pressure existed simply on the part of the God since the creation existed within Its dream, but such tremendous power resides in such primary pyramid gestalts that even their dreams are endowed with vitality and reality.

It also recognized within each consciousness the massive potential that existed. The means, then, came to It. It must release the creatures and probabilities from Its dream! To do so would give them actuality. However, it also meant ‘losing’ a portion of Its own consciousness, for it was within that portion that they were held in bondage.

All That Is had to let go. While It thought of these individuals as Its creations, It held them as a part of Itself and refused them actuality.To let them go was to ‘lose’ that portion of Itself that had created them.

Already It could scarcely keep up with the myriad probabilities that began to emerge from each separate consciousness. With love and longing It let go that portion of Itself, and they were free.

This energy exploded in a flash of creation. All That Is, therefore, ‘lost a portion of Itself in that creative endeavor. All That Is loves all that It has created down to the least, for It realized the dearness and uniqueness of each consciousness which has been wrest from such a state and at such a price. It is triumphant and joyful at each development taken by each consciousness, for this is an added triumph against that first state, and It revels and takes joy in the slightest creative act of each of Its issues.

It, of Itself and from that state, has given life to infinities of possibilities. From its agony, It found the way to burst forth in freedom, through expression, and in so doing gave existence to individualized consciousness. Therefore It is rightfully jubilant.

Yet all individuals remember their source, and now dream of All That Is as All That Is once dreamed of them. And they yearn toward that immense source….and yearn to set It free and give It actuality through their own creations.

The motivating force is still All That Is, but individuality is no illusion. And you create for the same reason, and within each of you is the memory of that primal agony – that urge to create and free all probable consciousness into actuality.

Many have been sent through the centuries of your time to help, for as you develop you also form new dimensions, and then you will help others.These connections between you and All That Is can never be severed, and Its awareness is so delicate and focused that Its attention is indeed directed with a prime creator’s love to each consciousness.

All portions of All That Is are constantly changing, enfolding, and unfolding. All That Is, seeking to know Itself, constantly creates new versions of Itself. For this seeking Itself is a creative activity and the core of all its action.There is a portion of All That Is directed and focused within each individual, residing within each consciousness. Each consciousness is, therefore, cherished and individually protected. This portion of overall consciousness is individualized within you.

The personality of God as generally conceived is a one-dimensional concept based upon man’s small knowledge of his own psychology. What you prefer to think of as God is, again, an energy gestalt or pyramid consciousness. It is aware of itself as being, for instance, you. It is also aware of itself as the smallest seed….This portion of All That Is that is aware of itself as you, that is focused with your existence, can be called upon for help when necessary.

This portion is also aware of itself as something more than you. This portion that knows itself as you, and as more than you, is the personal God, you see. Again: this gestalt, this portion of All That Is, looks out for your interest and may be called upon in a personal manner.

Prayer contains its own answer, and if there is no white-haired kind old father-God to hear, then there is instead the initial and ever-expanding energy that forms everything that is and of which each human being is a part.This psychic gestalt may sound impersonal to you, but since its energy forms your person, how can this be?

If you prefer to call this supreme psychic gestalt God, then you must not attempt to objectify him, for he is the nuclei of your cells and more intimate than your breath.What you call God is the sum of all consciousness, and yet the whole is more than the sum of Its parts. God is more than the sum of all personalities, and yet all personalities are what He is."

Re-membering

We always feel when God has unfolded something to us that it is in its last stages of development at the time we are getting it. We have it now, we feel, all sewed up in a neat little package of truth, but alas, I promise you by just the mere fact of living for the past 60 years, that God will continue to develop and unfold and expand that truth in us as we are able to digest it. So, if you would allow me the privilege, to suggest this: God often takes something that we felt was bedrock in our understanding and shakes our present understanding of it and unfolds, yet, a broader realizaton of it. But I am sure you have experienced that too. It has, at least, been my experience since passing through the different realms since my first experience with the Lord at six years old.

I would like to suggest this to you for contemplation as a response to what you said about God never evolving or discovering himself. (a response to someone) When God took out of Himself, Himself, and reproduced Himself in kind, in those "kinds" of Himself was the same creator powers. Just as when in the natural when you produce a child, inherent in that child is the power to also reproduce. Since God is the Father of spirits - this is who we were when in our first estate - we were a spirit creation. And since everything produces after its own kind, then the kind that God produced was a spirit-kind for God is spirit. This is the plural Elohim, or this is the God that said, "Let US make man."

We were a spirit creation before coming down into these lower, slower, colder realms. All matter is energy that has been slowed down to take on form or visibility. This is the lowering that creation was subjected to. That is why we have to experience the 'quickening' or re-generation, or we have to have a jump start to speed back up to a proper spirit frequency to function as spirit. And it is why it says "That same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, shall also QUICKEN your mortal bodies." Our bodies will be speeded back up to a LIGHT FREQUENCY equal unto his glorious body.

God knew that these emanations of Himself would continue to MAGNIFY HIM. "Oh, MAGNIFY the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together." One definition of the word 'magnify' is to make larger. We make larger the experience of God by becoming what he is and being a co-creator of the new heavens and the new earth and even what is beyond that we can only dream of those glories at this time.

I would like to also draw attention to the words "raise Christ from the dead". There is much more in that than first meets the eye. For one thing, Christ in not just the singular Jesus the man, but a many membered Body. Jesus the Pattern son demonstated victory over death in all of its forms, body, soul and spirit and was, in fact, a picture of our future Self, a mirror in which to see our true self. I think most of us quickened believers have the understanding that when sleep is talked about in the bible that it is talking about death many times. You are dead or asleep to something. Remember Jesus saying "Let the dead, bury the dead". Were these literally graveyard dead he was referring to? Well, we know it was not. It was people still dead or asleep in their understanding of truth.

Another illustation about the God part of us needing to awaken is pictured with the story of Jesus being asleep deep in the bowels of the ship. Your spirit man lies sleeping or dead or not resurrected within you until awakened. It was the disciples who awakened him, you recall. Those disciples represent attributes of the spirit. Peter is faith, John is Love, Andrew is Strength, etc. When aspects of the spirit wake us up that is when the storms of our life are calmed and we find peace.

Many years ago, I read the following words by William Law before I fully understood them and was quickened by them and wrote them down. "Christ is in all men, either crucified or resurrected." That means, either dead or alive. Either asleep or awake.


I know that "Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling, or slipping, or falling and to present you unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory - with unspeakable , ecstatic delight - in triumphant joy and exultation." will do just that.

Much love to each as you "apprehend that for which you have been apprehended." Karen
