Many of the stories that are shared are about abortion are deeply felt by all, whatever your view, but spiritual abortion has been far more prevalent and sinister. When religion thrusts in the long knife of condemnation and judgment into the life of the Christ that is trying to be formed, they are those that become the real personification of what an abortionist is.
When any of us cuts into another one to tear down or destroy, we are the spiritual abortionists.
I would like to expand on a thought that is not on the abortion subject exactly, but is how I view how we may be fulfilling, at least at one level, the scripture about the manifestation of the sons of God.
I know many in the past, and perhaps some still do now, believe that as the sons of God are to rule and reign, they see that being fulfilled in the literal. Such as - we literally become governors, and presidents and kings, etc. But how I see that at one level is we are that "critical mass" that Collective Christ that is arising - we are the Rising Son and this Son/Sun DOES NOT TO NEED TO FIGHT THE DARKNESS to dispel it. The suns very presence is what dispels darkness and without a battle.
If we truly believe we are who we say we are, don't you think that this Light of the World will at some time begin to have some bearing, some effect upon the darkness around us? All systems...political, religious, economical, educational?
We need not focus on what is breaking down, but on what is breaking through - We are what is breaking through!!! and its first effect is to cause a breaking down. A breaking down, a failure in the plans and schemes of Adamic man. This is Our Day, we are The Day of the Lord. We are the Light that is breaking through. ALL of creation will have to begin to align themselves with what is breaking through.
These breakthroughs may at first light show themselves in a way such as we saw on inauguration day - people letting go of racial or ethnic boundaries, willing to be gathered together in unity and love because at everyones core they long for a better world, and at the moment they are needing to see an outer sign or manifestation to fasten this inner truth upon. So let us not join the religious spiritual abortionists and thrust in the long knife of condemnation and be found trying to destroy the Life and the Light that is trying to break through in the only way they know how at this time.
I praise God for every glimmer of light that I see in creation as they are being lifted up in Him.
Love and Light,
Karen

Resonance: A Generation's Opportunity
by Ken Carey
The Word that is spoken by God resounds in our mutual hearing simultaneously. This eternal, creative moment opens the arms of her potential inviting harmony and grace. In a linear sense, each moment becomes more welcoming. As each additional human being enters a state of healthy attunement, it becomes easier for others to enter into harmony with them. Though the opportunity to experience a fundamental spiritual healing has always been present, it has never been so easy. It is becoming easier day by day.
It has been said that every Christian generation has had among its numbers those who supposed they were to see the Second Coming, we at this time are merely echoing the hope that springs fresh in every age. Yet even without taking into account the prophecies which point to modern times, there is a profound reason why you and I are living in the generation that shall see the restored dominion of God's creative purposes upon the earth. This reason can be summed up in four words: the power of attunement.
Putting all other factors aside for a moment, the laws of probability suggest that as the earth's population continues to increase, each given moment will find more people than ever before in a state of harmonious function. Every human being who begins to function in a healthy way enters “the Holy Place” of the Most High”, a state of attunement with the full spectrum of vibrational frequencies that dance throughout the universal order. Each individual who restores trust in God sounds a note in harmonic resonance with the entire cosmos. This magnifies the vibrations of the Holy Place.
Presently, each human being on earth is sounding a note or tone of sorts, but for the most part these notes are not in any kind of harmony. Just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two discordant notes are ever similar enough to build upon one another's harmonics. Consequently, their destructive effects on the surrounding environment are arithmetically cumulative, but far from exponential. If it were possible for dissonance to become amplified through resonance, the earth would have long since perished.
Many a bridge collapsed beneath the coordinataed step of marching soldiers before the awesome power of resonance was recognized. Physicists call this curious amplification of harmonics “rhythmic entrainment.” Perhaps the best example of it was discovered by the proprietors of 19th century clock shops who repeatedly observed that all their clocks with pendulums of the same length would sooner or later end up with their pendulums swinging in harmony. Experiments showed that no matter how randomly the pendulums were set in motion, sooner or later, they would all begin swinging together. Moreover, it was found that the length of time that it took for all the pendulums to begin swinging in harmony (after they were set in motion randomly) decreased exponentially in direct proportion to the number of clocks that had begun to move together. In other words, it would take a while for the first two clocks out of a roomful of forth-five clocks to begin to swing together once the pendulums of all forty-five had been randomly set in motion. It would not take quite so long for the third clock to join the first two. The fourth would come in with much less hesitation and so on, until by the time there were (say) a dozen clocks with pendulums swinging side by side, it would seem that the rest would join them almost instantaneously. The number that it takes to cause this almost instantaneous shift of the whole is called a “resonate minority.”
No one who has lived the two millennia since the life of Jesus Christ has been denied an opportunity of resonating with divine frequencies. It has always been the case that, “Where two or three of you are gathered together in my name there I am in your midst.” But because of the increased population of the earth and because of the changing subconscious climate, there are more human beings resonating today with frequencies of love and truth than ever before.
This epoch is one of those rare times in the slow rolling eons when lightening is able to jump down from the heavens, when the myriad and forever-turning creative cycles are all about to roll over in a row of metaphorical zeros. We are very close to the optimal moment in which a fundamental human transformation might occur, when the consciousness of eternity can wake up and come to dwell among the forms that inhabit time. You and I, our brothers and sisters, our parents, friends, and co-workers are living in a moment of unprecedented historical opportunity.

Completeness
Completeness to me means that I know everything that God knows and can do everything that God can do [and in heels] .....just kidding....about the heels that is....well, maybe not
I, for one, cannot find any other prototype to be a valid one other that Jesus Christ, the firstborn from among the dead....the one whose body did not see decay.
He said that all power had been given to him both in heaven and in earth.....so whatever he knew to be truth in his heavens [the Father realm] he was able to manifest in his earth [the son realm].
Although he said that he and his Father were one, he did not hesitate to say that his Father was greater than he. For it takes more than just one 3rd dimensional body to be the only expression of God's great vast heavens. That's why Jesus represents just the first coming of a man in the full recognition and abilities of the Father.
When God said in Genesis "let us make Man", He, in my understanding was talking about making every individual man to be an atom in the body of this Man who would look like, talk like, think like, and act like their Dad in every way... His image.
That is how God is All [everything] in all [everyone].
Right now, I see God as IN all, but I do not think that we see God manifested as Everything in Everybody....there is still too many that are yet unconsciousness or as the bible says it, dead in their trespasses and sins.......BUT WE SEE JESUS! Jesus who has been made both Christ and Lord and while beholding Him, we are being changed from glory to glory......BECAUSE...
Jesus is who I am outside of time, but "in the fullness of time, God brought forth his son", we are to bring who and what we are in our heavens, which is Christ Jesus, into time...or into manifestation. Perhaps this is a little different than the way Barbara expressed it, but I'm sure she will grant me that space.
"When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." Jesus represented that which was perfect (mature) in spirit, soul and body. He interjected into the consciousness of man the possibility of perfection (maturity) ......only this time the birth is many membered......that to me is what the second coming of Christ is.
"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."
The coming of the Lord, to me, is being fulfilled in us on an individual spiritual basis, and is also to be fulfulled in a historical corporate basis.
Just as the individual cells of a fetus are growing and forming while in Mother's womb, but there comes a time when all the cells have together been formed into something called a child and they are birthed all together as one thing.....that, to me, is the collective New Creation Man.
This is just my present understanding and by Grace will yet be expanded as we continue to Behold Him.

In the Same Manner
"When He comes to be glorified IN HIS SAINTS.......with this in view, we constantly pray for you." ! 2 Thess.1:10
"This same Jesus"....the one made a Life-Giving Spirit....the glorified one, not the man Jesus before his resurrection.
"In the same manner that He went away."
The manner in which Jesus went away, was from the visible into the invisible....from matter to spirit....he dematerialized and he will re-materialize IN HIS SAINTS. He already did that on the day of Pentecost as someone just mentioned and that "coming" of the Lord is intensifying and will culminate in what some are seeing as this Quantum Leap for a collective whole.
"This event, anticipated by Christians as the second Coming of Christ, is in fact the first fully conscious incarnation of the Eternal One in the collective consciousness of a world's biosphere. Jesus came to help prepare human understanding for this event, to herald it as the morning star heralds the dawn."
He was the Seed and we are the Harvest.
Unless the seed dies or gives up its seed-ness, it abides alone, but if it relenquishes itself to death, it resurrests as a new plant.
Jesus Christ, a man anointed of God.....died to that identity to become
Christ Jesus, a Life-Giving Spirit. And we have been baptized in this same Spirit.
There is a pattern laid out in the Zadok priesthood in Eze 44. It is symbolic of the Melchi-zadok or Melchizedek priesthood of Christ Jesus. They are "dressed" in their linen (robes of righteousness, your spiritual body) to go in unto the Lord/invisible realms of spirit, but when they come out unto the people, they take off those spiritual robes (and put on their woolen garments or material bodies to appear among the rest of the 'sheep')
This is a pattern of those who can come and go between realms as Jesus did. Jesus fully intended to "dress" himself as us in this realm....we are his body....he presents himself to the world as us.
The Invitation
Mary, He spoke as only her Lord could
"Master", she replied as now her heart full understood.
"Do not now touch Me, for I must first ascend."
Showing us that if ever you would touch Him
It must be by spirit and never that flesh again.
If ever you would see Jesus
You'll have to look beyond the form
For He may appear
As any man, woman or child ever born.
He continues to say,
"I must ascend to my Father and your Father,
To my God and your God."
Showing us ever more clearly this 'way'.
So, back into spirit
He disappeared from earthly view
And is now seated beside His Father
That dwells in the heart of me and you.
He assured His first disciples
That upon His earthly departure day
He would surely come again
Driving their sorrows all away.
When on that day of Pentecost
He came again this time as flames of fire
Igniting in them all
A passion for God much higher.
This sacred fire has continued to burn
Consuming all our tin and dross
Leaving behind only the purest gold
Through the work of His holy cross.
For He said, "Where I Am there you may be too."
So, from His glorified heights within my spirit new
He extends an invitation
So my soul can come there too.
And through their perfect union
My earthly house is not left out
But it, too, will display a God renewal
During Tabernacles' trumpet shout.
With Love,
Karen

Resurrection Alarm Clock
Creation could not awaken itself - that is why Jesus came to be a Life-Giving spirit, not just a lovely picture about it....Our alarm clock, our resurrection alarm clock in "that great gettin' up mornin'." He interjected, imparted into the collective consciousness resurrection reality. All men since then have that inherent truth hidden away in their subconscious being. But until you have a real-time experience with it consciously, it lies in dormancy and death within you. Christ is crucified unto you.
"He that possesses the Son has life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life." 1 John 5
"But if anyone does not possses the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His - he does not belong to Christ [is not truly a son of God]" Rom. 8
I had a problem with these statements for a while, because I had been teaching as most do that Christ is in all men. I pondered on this for a while, and spirit showed me that as long as you live from your own mind or ego, you are living as a single woman, unmarried. You do what is right in your own eyes and are completely unconscious - "dead man/woman walking". The 'woman' cannot bring forth life apart from a union with the Spirit Man. Unfertilized spiritual eggs will die short of their glory, just as they do monthly in a woman's cycle if not fertilized.
But we all have an appointment with Life! Hallelujah! \o/ Resurrection life.
Whole bunches of Life and blessings to each,
Karen

Passports and Portals
Quoting a brother: "This blood is a "passport" with our true identity written on it...it brings us to our new home within us,"
Pass-port.......Amen! I like that or when turned around - the PORT WE PASS THROUGH!
"I have set before thee an open door."
We know that Jesus proclaimed in first person:
"I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door for the sheep.
All others who came [AS SUCH] before me are thieves and robbers; but the true sheep did not listen and obey them.
I am the Door. Any one who enters in through me will be saved - will live; he will come in and he will go out freely, and will find pasture." John 10
I want to make a comment about the "all others who came before me" statement. That has many times been taken to mean that Jesus was referring to all the prophets and others in the OT who came before him. I do not see that as what Jesus is saying at all!!
He was saying that all those who have come before him proclaiming themselves to BE THE DOOR and God did not send them as such, is who the thief and robbers were. Jesus was not bashing the faithful witnesses who predated him and actually were foretelling his coming.
Now lest all think that I am fixated on the Door and do not realize that we are to be EQUAL HEIRS with him, let me add that if Jesus said he is a door, that makes me a door too, a portal to pass through. We are what he is when we walk in our Christ anointing. I have had nations pass through my door into Christ.
Our heart cry is as his: "Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Christ speaks as us. That is why they hated Jesus so much, they thought he was making himself out to be God. They just didn't realize that it was really the other way around....God was making himself out to be Man.
In our fully-realized union with him, you will not be able to tell where you leave off and where God begins. This is the New Creation Man.....Divine Fusion!
Jesus was the both the Old or first creation and is also the The New Creation:
1. Jesus was the beginning of the creation of God which makes him the firstborn of the Old Creation, what we all were in our first estate as spirit beings...prior to form.
and
2. Jesus was the firstborn from the dead [adamic man] which makes him the firstborn of THE NEW CREATION MAN, the brand new species.
The New Creation Man, by divine alchemy, is not just to be an unclothed spirit or without a body nor is it to be just flesh but A NEW KIND OF CREATION.
You won't be able to tell where you leave off nor where God begins.
"Let us make Man"
Pass-port.......Amen! I like that or when turned around - the PORT WE PASS THROUGH!

BOTH Lord and Christ
"King of kings and Lord of lords"
We do, indeed, have to know or be awakened to that place in the spirit where we realize that we are a lord or a king as, I believe, that this brother is trying to share. And we all know that Jesus is also our Elder Brother, which makes us and him have the same Father God. God's children could only be gods....for it is kind after kind.
How can Jesus be Lord of lords, if we have not found our own lordship....or be King of kings, if we have not found our authority or kingship with him? We are the lords and kings he is the Lord and King of.
BUT
We also need to be mindful that we are not The Lord or The God unto our self alone. This is where I think some of the teaching on this subject may seem to go astray.
Jesus was made BOTH Lord and Christ.
Acts 2:36
"Let the whole house of Israel recognize beyond all doubt and acknowledge assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, the Messiah, this Jesus Whom you have crucified."
God has made him. There is a making process involved to realize this by experience, not just intellectually, in us as well... our soul and our body.
Many, it seems to me, are trying to divorce Jesus from that highly exalted place that God brought him to.
1. He is LORD as the Son of God. He is LORD in his deity, His oneness with the Everlasting Father, The Mighty God.
2. He is Christ in his relationship with humanity, a Son of Man....not ashamed to call us brothers, the Chief Cornerstone of a living temple.
I was drawn to the Lord as a child and baptized in the Holy Ghost at 16 and it was not just a nebulous something that quickened me to life and baztized me in the Spirit, but it was Jesus, who was made both Christ and Lord. He has been given an exalted place, in order to bring many sons to glory, the same kind of glory he was glorified with. In other words, as Lord or in His Deity He fathers a people. Jesus as Lord fathered me.
Jesus prayed Father:
"Just as You have granted Him [your Son] power and authority over all flesh (all human kind), so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.
And this is eternal life; [it means] to know ( to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah, Whom You have sent."
And as the Christ, (the anointed One) he is in relationship with us as His Body. He is the Son of man, the firstborn of many brothers, the chief cornerstone of this temple not made with hands.
So, for me, this all means that he is one with the Father as LORD .
and
He is one with us as CHRIST, for the Church or His Body is the fullness of Him.
"He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the new life with which He quickened Him." Eph:2:5
and
with this Christ IN US we have the same hope of the same kind of glory being realized in us that Jesus was glorifed with.
"All power, both in heaven [as Lord]
and
in earth [as Christ] is given me", Jesus said.
We do, indeed, have to know or be awakened to that place in the spirit where we realize that we are a lord or a king as, I believe, that this brother is trying to share. And we all know that Jesus is also our Elder Brother, which makes us and him have the same Father God. God's children could only be gods....for it is kind after kind.
How can Jesus be Lord of lords, if we have not found our own lordship....or be King of kings, if we have not found our authority or kingship with him? We are the lords and kings he is the Lord and King of.
BUT
We also need to be mindful that we are not The Lord or The God unto our self alone. This is where I think some of the teaching on this subject may seem to go astray.
Jesus was made BOTH Lord and Christ.
Acts 2:36
"Let the whole house of Israel recognize beyond all doubt and acknowledge assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, the Messiah, this Jesus Whom you have crucified."
God has made him. There is a making process involved to realize this by experience, not just intellectually, in us as well... our soul and our body.
Many, it seems to me, are trying to divorce Jesus from that highly exalted place that God brought him to.
1. He is LORD as the Son of God. He is LORD in his deity, His oneness with the Everlasting Father, The Mighty God.
2. He is Christ in his relationship with humanity, a Son of Man....not ashamed to call us brothers, the Chief Cornerstone of a living temple.
I was drawn to the Lord as a child and baptized in the Holy Ghost at 16 and it was not just a nebulous something that quickened me to life and baztized me in the Spirit, but it was Jesus, who was made both Christ and Lord. He has been given an exalted place, in order to bring many sons to glory, the same kind of glory he was glorified with. In other words, as Lord or in His Deity He fathers a people. Jesus as Lord fathered me.
Jesus prayed Father:
"Just as You have granted Him [your Son] power and authority over all flesh (all human kind), so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.
And this is eternal life; [it means] to know ( to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah, Whom You have sent."
And as the Christ, (the anointed One) he is in relationship with us as His Body. He is the Son of man, the firstborn of many brothers, the chief cornerstone of this temple not made with hands.
So, for me, this all means that he is one with the Father as LORD .
and
He is one with us as CHRIST, for the Church or His Body is the fullness of Him.
"He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the new life with which He quickened Him." Eph:2:5
and
with this Christ IN US we have the same hope of the same kind of glory being realized in us that Jesus was glorifed with.
"All power, both in heaven [as Lord]
and
in earth [as Christ] is given me", Jesus said.

Making "Her" Male
Simon Peter said to them, “Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life.” Jesus said, “I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Thomas 114)[1]
We all have 23 pairs of chromosomes which, of course, totals 46. The pairs in a female are known as XX and the pairs in a male are an XY. All cells have 46 chromosomes except the sexual chromosomes which only have 23. When the female's eggs are formed they take one chromosome from each of the 23 pairs. So the egg has only 23 chromosomes. And likewise when sperm is formed in a male, they do the same, except some of the sperm are X's and some are Y's.
When an X sperm of 23 chromosomes unites with the X egg of 23 chromosomes, a female is formed. XX
When a Y sperm of 23 chromosomes unites with the X egg of 23 chromosomes, a male is formed. XY
We are told that spiritual truths are pictured for us in nature. So if that is true with the above scenario, then everyone is not automatically born a son of God, but everyone IS a child of God, especially those that have experienced the new conception (we are first conceived of God before we are born of God). "...the Living God who is the savior of all men, especially of those who believe." 1 Tim. Until you are brought into belief, the truth of salvation is not realized for you even if it is in the bank, so to speak, for you to draw upon.
John 1:12
"But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority to become the children of God, that is to those who believe in and rely on His name.
Who owe their birth neither to bloods, nor to the will of the flesh, nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God."
If the portion of scripture I borrowed from the book of Thomas is true, and it is correlated with what science is saying, then it takes a special kind of union to form a son. Now we must not take this in the letter or in the natural. We are spiritually speaking here. In our earlier spiritual development, we behave much more soulishly or in the feminine until we learn to "put on Christ" or more Son-like qualities.
I was researching some of the information that I just shared above because I had always heard that all embryos are female until testoterone interrupted the cycle to form the male, but that has proved to be untrue with newer science. Gender is determined by either an X or Y sperm uniting with the egg. So, it is still testosterone that is neeeded to produce a male, which symbolizes for me that there must be a rendezvous with the Christ, the New Creation Man with our soul (the egg in this scenario) in order to be able to birth the mature Son of God.
"He who possesses the Son has life; he who does not possess the Son does not have life." 1 John 5:12
Everyone is the offspring or child of God as Paul was teaching on Mars Hill, but that does not mean you have put on Christ in His fullness and have taken your place as a mature Son.
God's intention which He declared from the beginning was "Let us make Man." God is not making God, but Man.[that does not mean just mankind in general, but the Man or the Son in his full image] We are not becoming God, but God is becoming Man.
And as Thomas quotes Jesus as saying, we must be led by Him in order for our feminine to become Male, or the Manchild. Remember "she is saved in childbearing" [bearing the Manchild].
Remember the first Adam became a living soul. S/he was feminine or soulish in character.
The Last Adam became a life-giving Spirit or the New Creation Man. The soul or feminine is once again integrated back into him and they become one New Flesh.

Until
It is in spirit that we all are one for we are first joined to Him in spirit:
1 Cor. 6:17
"But the person that is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him." This is the beginning of our "full" salvation, first spirit, then soul, then body:
Justified in spirit
Sanctified in soul (mind)
Glorified in body
1 Cor. 15:25
"Christ must be King and reign (within us) UNTIL He has put all [His] enemies under His feet. {this is a reference to Psa. 110:1 which says "The Lord said to my Lord [the Messiah], Sit You at my right hand, UNTIL I make Your adversaries Your footstool." We are assured of being complete in Him. This is our heavenly or spiritual position in Him, and as we rest assured in Him, there is an ongoing work that transpires in us where He is now being made complete in us. This I see as the joining of heaven and earth, Father and Son being made One.}
1 Cor. 15:28
...However, WHEN EVERYTHING is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also subject Himself to the Father Who put all things under Him, SO THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL - that is, be everything to everyone, supreme, the indwelling and controlling factor of life.
And as Ron said too, the truth that "He must increase and I must decrease" may get unintentionally inverted and we in self efforts try to decrease when it is impossible without the increase of Himself in us first. So thank you, Father, for each unveiling of Yourself in us....You are our Treasure we cling to trusting this unmeasurable Grace to do its perfect work in us all.
Much love and blessings to all with the full assurance that Love cannot fail to accomplish its 'All'.
