Jesus said that Two = One
Since my present perspective has been born out of my experience with Christ Jesus and the infilling of the Holy Ghost Baptism which, by the way, is not a tell all, end all experience in my view, but is merely an initiation ceremony into Christ mindedness. It is not a graduation ceremony, in other words....so from that center and development or place in spirit I share the following:
The school of Christ is an ongoing education in the ways of the Spirit, for it is not the man (the spirit) that was in the transgression but the woman (soul) who was deceived as shown to us by all the ways that Jesus ministered to women. So as our souls or woman is being transformed our "day" or consciousness becomes brighter and brighter as it arises to full noon Day where complete union with the Sun/Son Light occurs for she is now of marrying age and maturity.
That is when the mind and the spirit can produce a full-grown Manchild for they are now in a union or marriage and have ceased just dating and fooling around to be graphic. The two have become One just as in the natural when a man and woman come together and produce a child. The child is the Two (mother and father) in One.
I said all that to preference the following teaching by Jesus to demonstrate that he had no problem referring to himself and then his Father all in same breath without it indicating that he was promoting some kind of carnal separation. He used the "Me" word and he used the "And" word quite freely because it teaches us what real union means which is:
[ act of joining together: the act of joining TOGETHER people or things to form a whole]
You can't unify a singularity, but you can unify dualities through amalgamation.
The following is how he answered the Pharisees (everything in us which denies Christ) which had a real problem with his teachings: [seems that there are still a few around that have that same problem]
"Whereupon the Pharisees told Him, You are testifying on Your own behalf; Your testimony is not valid and is worthless.
Jesus answered, Even if I do testify on My own behalf, My testimony is true and valid; for I know where I came from and where I am going....
You set yourself up to judge according to the flesh- by what you see....I do not set Myself up to judge or sentence anyone.
Yet if I do judge, My judgement is true; FOR I AM NOT ALONE [in making it], but [THERE ARE TWO OF US],
I "and" the Father Who sent me.
I am one [of the Two] bearing testimony concerning Myself, and My Father Who sent Me, He also testifies about Me"
+++++++++++++++.
Jesus was God's personality and attributes manifested in a form. They were ONE IN SPIRIT but differing in manifestation. They were one in spirit but two by manifestation. One invisible, the other visible.
That is why Jesus could say that He AND His father were one.- they were One, One in spirit. It is the same way that we can say we are one - it is in spirit but not in form where our oneness lies.
The name and personality of Jesus was SO IMPORTANT that the angel instructed that his name shall be called "Jesus". His name was indicitive of his natue and reason for being here.
To arrive at such a place in consciousness that he could confess and actually know that he and his father were one, required some growing up into that truth as well as the experience of the anointing and quickening of that in him. "the child grew and became strong in spirit, wisdom and grace" "God does not give him His spirit sparingly or by measure"
He didn't go around pretending he had no personality or was fearful of expressing any or afraid to use his name, for as he grew in grace and wisdom he knew that the Father was as much him[Jesus] as he[Jesus] was the Father.
Each individualized aspect of God provides opportunity for the invisible to be actualized and to experience Itself as us. And Christ Jesus provides for us That Way, if we we follow in it and That Truth as our minds are renewed, and That Quality of Life as we appropriate it.
Here's some more illus. of Me AND My Father.
John 17:
When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father...glorify and magnify your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and magnify You.
There is a Me and a You that Jesus was not afraid of speaking of.
I have glorified YOU..
now glorify ME
Now glorify ME along with YOURSELF
I have manifested YOUR name
to the people YOU have given ME
All you have given ME belongs to YOU
the words that you gave ME, I have given them
so they would know that I came forth from YOU
Most High is possessor of heaven and earth....and the divine atomic fusion of those TWO is what creates THE "ONE" NEW CREATION MAN.
The One, that was God's declared intention from the beginning when he said "Let us make Man."
That which is neither just a spirit (a heaven)
or
a just a body (earth)
but
the union of star and stone, heaven and earth which lives at the interface of both but is neither. These are they who come in and go out as the wind of spirit blows them.
Praise His Name!!
