"Yes... you are correct... the double mind comes after we are declared sons... or maybe it is just OUR AWARENESS of our double mindedness that comes after our epiphany in Jesus? We may have always been double minded, AND JUST NOT REALIZED IT!" Quote
Yes, I agree, we just functioned as the natural man before being awakened in God, living without an awareness of the difference of the mind of the spirit from the mind of the flesh.
Everything about us is in 2's in this realm......we have 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 distinct sides of our brain......because everything about us was designed to testify that we are where both realms meet....where heaven and earth comes together.
"Duality and the world go hand in hand..because it takes two hands to climb the ladder of consciousness. It takes two feet to walk the path of righteousness. It takes two eyes to be able to have depth perception lest we dash our foot against a stone.
Who created duality? Was it not God who separated the light from the darkness? Was it not God who put two trees in the garden (our mind).....all a part of the will and purpose of God in the training and outfitting of a grown up Son. Or we can instead play "dress up" and pretend that we already know everything that God knows and can do everything that God can do in the here and now.
Yes, we have to know how to go within to that Most Holy Place of Oneness (the spirit) where all things are finished and at rest, but we have to know how to bring that truth out, first into Our Holy Place (our soul or mind) and then outside into the field of this world where the work of our Father is done. Didn't Jesus the Shepherd go and seek the lost sheep. How will we find them in the Most Holy Place if they are in the outer court yard?
Yes, this world of duality will surely pass away, but I AM still in the world to save (awaken) them.
If Jesus believed as some do that this world isn't real, just an illusion to be dismissed nor considered, then why would he have bothered healing bodies that weren't really ill? Why feed bread to the hungry who just imagine that they are hungry? After all they don't have any real bodies to feed.
Obviously Jesus believed they were real and treated them as so....God meets us where we are. So perhaps it would be better to think of this world as a lower world that is serving a purpose in the plan of God.
Duality is not an enemy, but a tool...like a ladder that consciousness uses to climb." And as we ascend this ladder, we don't take the rung that we just left with us, its already served its purpose, but we leave it for the next guy coming along.
It's possible to try and cut short or truncate anothers steps by insisting they be where we are on the ladder but perhaps they haven't yet made all the steps in consciousness to arrive there yet......they may have to yet have a little more room made in their inn in order to birth higher truths.
"My prayer is that you not take them out of the world, but protect them from the evil one."
"In the world you shall tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
