Thought Pollution

The following was written in response to a friend of mine:

Dear Ron, I feel one of those 'tangents' of mine coming on again...hopefully into the essential. Seems like the slightest phrase sets me off these days. LOL Your comment here did it: "Abba...keep us friendly to ourselves...keep us gentle in disappointments..... not afraid of changes..... not thinking of a name change....like Judas maybe....Thomas is a given name to all true honest seekers..." end quote

But as an aside, before getting into that I recently heard the following acronym for S-I-N: Self-Inflicted-Nonsense. :-) Thought that was a good one too. Most all of us are aware of the message of the Reconciliation of All, but I want to share a thought about the 'ministry' of reconciliation, first of all to ourselves and how its truth truly does, I believe, touch all.

We were shown how through our Pattern, Jesus. Remember the scripture that says "If one died for all then all have died." And of course the converse of that is true as well, If one has resurrected, then all have resurrection life. The problem lies not in the veracity of this fact, but in our realization and manifestaion of it.

You said "Keep us friendly to ourselves"....and yes I, too, agree for I believe that the reason some of our Thomases and Judases are surfacing is that they at last feel free to come out of their hiding places in our psyche. They are drawn to the light like moths to the flame. The light and the love that we are has reached an intensity that beckons them to their death and rebirth. Just as the Lighthouse announces to the weary sailor that land is near, the Light of God in our inner being is calling all the weary pathologies of man up from the sea of humanity for healing and wholeness.

It makes me think of the prophets of old who told us that ALL the nations would say, "Come and let us go to the mountain of the Lord, for he will teach of his ways and the law shall go forth from Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." These nations may have the archetypal name of Judas or Thomas, but their actual names are doubt, unbelief, fear, suicide, addictions, lust, hopelessness, low self esteem, pride, jealousy, etc.

Some of these thoughts that assail us can be some of our own stuff coming up for healing, but I think many times it is coming out of the collective consciousness of man, that sea of humanity. Thoughts that are sent out that are negative, I believe, create a miasma or clouds around this planet. They are what I think the scriptures mean by the prince and power of the air.

If everything is to be reconciled, then all these thoughts which really represent people for they are manifestations from them, then these "thoughts" are a negative looking for a positive. So we do need to be kind to ourselves and realize that the darkness is trying to find a remedy in the only Light that it sees in this world....and we are that Light. We are those Saviors standing on Mt. Zion judging the House of Esau. And guess what, the only judgment we have to offer is NOT GUILTY!!! God is not imputing your tresspasses. But as Jesus told the "woman" or the soul caught in adultery , "Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more." When you stand in the presence of pure Love, it has the power to impart Itself. It has the power to strip away all your coverings, so much so that you will stand naked and humbled in It's Presence. You will be left standing in your pure Essence or Truth. With this realization of who you really are, you will have had a genuine repentance or turn around. This is what enabled the woman to "go and sin no more".

So, when these (thoughts) come before us, we see the blood applied to the lintel...or we see the life of God that lights every man who comes into this world. What other judgment could we give them and be truthful.

So, yes, Dear God, what else can we offer but mercy. If the kingdom is within, then we are the Great White Throne Judgement Seat of Christ. Aren't you glad its a "white" throne...no darkness here. That makes us the Lake of Fire too, and isn't God a consuming fire. So we've got fire in our belly too, a veritible furnace of love. And wow, if Mt. Sinai was a fearsome sight, just imagine what kind of Light all the Love in the universe must be displaying to all life's weary inner travelers.

And this Light, this Love does not repel, it attracts just like we mentioned before...these conditions in man are like moths that cannot resist the pull of the Light. For it is there that they become one with the Fire and the Light and their misdirected energy is not destroyed but transmuted into higher life!

Praise God, yes, lets let every "thought" out of its prison house of consciousness and into the Light and Love of God to be reconciled and find wholeness. So pat yourself on the back a little if you are being assailed with 'thoughts'. Your Light has attracted them.

I will just share this one testimony before I wind this up. I have a friend, Ronnie H. in the ministry that told me one time that thoughts of suicide began to assail him so strongly that he almost got a gun and did himself in. If the spirit had not given him insight to where this was coming from, he might have killed himself. He said he stopped in his tracks as one of these onslaughts came on and he wrapped his arms around himself and said out loud "I don't know who you are, but I know that if it is yourself you want to get rid of, the only way to do that is to lose yourself in Christ and be swallowed up into Life. I love you and want you to know that God loves you." He said that thought lifted and never came back.

So, yes, Thomas is an experience of all true honest seekers as part of their journey.

With love,
Karen

Just to share an observation of mine that while it is important, and that's not even the right word, for us to know our Oneness and to know our self as I Am, I find that for many it seems to edit out for them any human experience of the divine. Many would not even want to admit that they ever have any of these thoughts to contend with because they are living in Oneness.

But divinity needs a place to lay its head. This mind of Christ needs us! We are where God happens or is actualized.

God doesn't give his glory to another, that it true, but we are not another. I don't believe at all that we are robot Gods. God took out of himself aspects of himself and we are that. These aspects of himself are endowed with the same creator powers for they are bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. God knew that these apects of himself would expand his experience of himself as they were actualized and set free. For they would be the son aspect of God and would grow up into full grown sons with the ability to Father or create as well!

When we were lowered here, we came with the seed of this creator life in us. As this life was watered and fed and fertilized we began to grow as an aspect or individualization of God. So many seem to discount and even deny their divinity, it appears to me, by not seeing that when they give their energy or spirit to something that it is God doing it as them. The resulting conditions tell us what kind of seed we were sowing. Life or death. We learn by doing. We understand by seeing.

Jesus only did what he saw his Father or Source doing. Seeing it in the spirit gave him the understanding, but doing it gave him the actualized experience. Jesus was a son of God by creation but he became a father by formation. Or we are all children of God, but we are being made perfect or mature by Christ being formed in us by experience just as Jesus was:

"For it was an act worthy [of God] and fitting [to the divine nature] that He, for whose sake and by whom all things have their existence, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect [that is should bring to maturity the human experience necessary for a perfect equipment for His office as High Priest], through suffering.

There is, I believe, the sovereignty of God or the predestination factor (the bounds of our habitation being set as Paul stated) but in order to be properly equipped as priests of God, we have to have our human experience brought into maturity as well. And we can't do that without being touched by the feelings of infirmity - ours and others.

The office of a priest is as a mediator - mediates between God and man.

Of course, this is a King/Priest ministry and the King would be another topic for discussion.

Thanks for letting me bend your ear again.
Love and communion, Karen

*************************************************************************************
I've believed for years that God has had a people from every tribe and tongue and nation that make up the collective Christ. And I believe there is a difference in the Body of Christ and the Body of God.

The Body of Christ, I see, as the firstfruit pickings unto God. They become the collective prototype to the world, just as Jesus was the individual prototype unto us.

It is when we each bring to the table what spirit makes real in us that all of these godly individuations are taken together by spirit and synergized to make something brand new. I think that is what it means when you see the following truism, "that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." God's cookin' up something that this world ain't never seen before and using us as his secret recipe ingredients.

And "little is much when God is in it", for "God does not save by many or few", he goes first for quality, knowing that with quality, he will reap quantity.

Jesus fathered us. The word says "who will declare his generation for he was cut off out of the land of the living?" And it goes on to say in Isa. 53 that "he shall see his spiritual offspring, he shall prolong his days and the will and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand."

We are his spiritual offspring that prolongs his days and is set to fulfill the will and pleasure of the Lord. And is it not his will that not any should perish, but that all would have eternal life? Well, many will say that they already have eternal life, and yes, that is true, but it is like saying that a man is alive that has no senses and is brain dead- no senses of taste, sight, hearing, smell or touch. Yes, he is alive, but completely devoid of knowing it. So God is after, alive and awakened vessels without any blind spots in consciousnes through which to be ongoingly creative.

I just want to add that I know that I have always been spirit and have never been born so how can I die as spirit? But the other part of this equation is that that spirit wanted to make a Man. So it is the intent of spirit to be Man.

Earth and Man is just Creation School 101. There are yet worlds without end. Realms and dimensions untold in Father's many-roomed universe mansion that we have yet to furnish and decorate.

With love,
Karen
