Be with me now. Let your heart be stil. Let all within the field of your awareness drift gently to a state of rest. Take time for me, and I will give you a new time and a new way to use the time you have. A day set aside? An hour? A few moments? More than the air, you need communion with your Holy Spirit. Take the time to be still, to be with me. Let yourself rest in Eternal Being. Know the peace and security of your Creator's Presence, the inheritance, the birthright you have forgotten. Sustain yourself in a restful state, trusting, while I flow refreshing through your circuitry, soothing you with grace, illuminating your understanding. To consciousness I call you, to a time of birth and awakening, to an Age of Discovery and adventure, but most of all, I call you home to your Being, where you and I are One.
As you come home to me, I come home to the Earth. My joy is your joy. Our joy is full. It is good to be home. Through you, I come home, not only to the Earth, but to all the material plane. Through you, I come to make a conscious home inside the universe of my Creation. Through you, I am born in a manger of matter, in a Bethlehem of space, beneath a canopy of stars.
This very moment, I am incarnating, entering, awakening in all who love, more quickly where there is prayer, more rapidly where there is understanding. I am already among you, in your streets and villages, in you marketplaces, in you homes, in each healthy human being. And daily my Presence grows. For every one in whom I am conscous this very hour, there are ten thousand more in whom I am present just below the surface, awaiting only that small, external spark that you might provide to trigger their memory, to turn their recognition, to return their awareness of All That Is. At a pace that grows exponentially with each passing year, my coming continues, decentralized, grass roots, bubbling beneath the fabric of every social structure, rising with the joy of every genuinely happy heart. Soon what is done in Reality, what is done in eternity, will also be done in Earth and in time.
Terra Christ.
One home.
One Family.
One Spirit.
One Song.
Do not think that you are unprepared for this transition. I have prepared you myself. In Truth, it could not be delayed much longer. Soon the skies of the Holy Mother will ripple with laughter and her heart will rejoice. The cities that remain will mirror the light of the stars in heaven, and every human heart will echo the Eternal Love of the One who come to the Earth to be the many. Christ. Incarnate. Awakened. The world and they that dwell therein bathed in joy boundless and without measure.
For I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the Creator of all that is and of all that is to be. My potential is infinite, my Being, eternal. All creation is an ever-unfolding picture of what I conceive. The star fields are my canvas, humans are my brushes, biology is my paint. The picture I create lives and dances, sparkling in multidimensional form as together with my people, I journey down the living corridors of time. My consciousness is the gift that I offer to all children, all women, all men of all races, tribes and nations who choose to dedicate themselves to LIVES OF LOVE.
As I leave these words to rest without me, I do not leave you. I am always with you. To the extent that you are open to the spirit of these words, my Presence will grow in you life until you and I are one in your consciousness as we have ever been one in Reality. I beat with every throb of your heart, feel with every touch of your hand, cry your every tear, breathe your every breath. I am never far away. Abide always in my Love. I am the only Truth and the only Reality.
Welcome home, my human spirit.

Rise To The Equation
We all are familiar with word 'equation' from our math classes. Our teacher taught us that we couldn't arrive at a correct answer without knowing the equation.....but if you knew your equation it would outline the path to the answer......it would not give you the particular answer your problem presented, but would be the map to that answer. You would have to work out your own answer using the numbers presented to you in the problem.
Well, each of us was given a different set of numbers, but we all have to use the same equation to work the problem. Or we all have different life assignments but we all arrive at the same answer eventually when the right equation is applied.
Here is the dictionary definition to the word equation:
1. mathematics statement of equality: a mathematical statement that two expressions, usually divided by an equal sign, are of the same value
2. situation involving many variable factors: a situation that has two or more variable aspects to be considered
The selling option just does not enter into the equation.
3. act of regarding as equal: the act or process of making things equal or considering them to be equal
I know we are all familar with Einsteins equation of relativity, E=MC2 - not that my little brain can grasp the magnitude of all that, other than what I have read about it.
E= energy
M= mass
C2= the square of the speed of light
......and all this showing how matter and energy changes the geometry of space-time.
But this makes me think of Billy's testimony of his Enoch trance experience, and after that event, everything he saw in the word was saying Flesh+Spirit=Christos...... he was given an understanding of a spiritual math equation, A+B=C. God and man in union equaled the Christ, The New Creation Man. (hope I am saying this as he intended it)
Well, how spirit began to teach me this was in the scripture, "Most High God is Possessor of Heaven and Earth." And also where Mary was told that she would become pregnant and give birth to a son and this son would be called the Son of the Most High, and the power of the Most High would overshadow her to empower her to birth this Holy Thing.
So this Holy Thing we are birthing is the amalgamation of heaven and earth, It possesses or encompasses both elements.
TWO PARTS TO THE EQUATION
Most High - Possessor of Heaven
Col. 2:10 Moreover, your own completeness is realised in him, (Christ)"..
Eph. 2: 4..God who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, gave us life together with Christ- it is, remember, by grace that you are saved- and has lifted us to take our place with him in Christ Jesus in the Heavens.
The first part of this equation is having our "heavens" possessed - encompassed.
We, too, as Mary have been overshadowed by the Most High and have been impregnated with the incorruptible seed of his life and are having our heavens (minds) renewed.
And everything that Jesus accomplished is reckoned to our account. Or it has been imputed to us as if we ourselves lived that and did that.......because at the spirit level or quantum level, my brother is me....and I am my brother. There is only one Christ, made of its many members.
That is how we are complete in Him. It is established 1st in the heavens or the spirit.
The following is a little illustration that I used a while ago when trying to share how I see our completeness in him:
We are complete in him. (Christ)
Picture a circle and you a dot in the circle. That is you being complete in him. We are hidden in him - that makes him our covering. Most that see us as already completed, or perfected, see only this part of the equation. And it is absolute truth, IN THE SPIRIT or heavens. But remember he is reconciling all things both in heaven and in earth. What is true in our heavens or true state of being has to be made real in our earth as well....For The Most High God is Possessor of Heaven and Earth.
Part Two: Most High God Possessor of Earth
But the other part of the equation is: he has to be made complete in us too.
Picture the circle again - your inner hidden man is Christ, and when he completely fills your every, thought, action and deed in your body, He is complete in you. He is now wearing You as a garment. Christ presents himself to the world as you. That is why all the injunctions in the word, about growing up in Christ in all things, and putting on Christ, and love working no ill to his neighbor, etc.
If this was an instantaneous completion, then the day Christ arose, the whole world would have manifested God from that day forth, but we know that is not what happened. Are they complete in him? Yes, most assuredly. But is He complete in every man in this world or is Christ complete in all their thoughts, words, and deeds? Well the answer, is plain for all to see. No.
The world was not automatically made experientially alive in God just because Jesus finished his assignment here. And neither are we experientially made alive in every facet of our being, until you put Christ on fully.
In this world, we leave an inheritance to our children, but they don't get that until THEY are an adult and Paul said the same thing "when the heir is a child he is no different than the servants even though he is Lord of all (the estate)."
When Jesus said, "It is finished" on the cross, what was finished was his "dying"......what remains to be executed in its fullest in his creation is his LIVING.
I see Jesus as coming from our future to show us who we are and what we can do and what our destiny is. We are just playing catch up with ourselves in this realm of time.

Our Child Called Life
I thought I would bring this older post (poem) of mine forward since this is the Christmas season that celebrates the birth of that first Christ Child...."but to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God." We are joint heirs, equal heirs with him in Life as he brings many sons to glory.
Joy to your world,
Karen
Our Child Called LIFE
To the bride (soul) He says:“Marriage is pure and my bed undefiled.
And born from our union shall be our child called LIFE!”
Vision of lovliness, our child called LIFE,
With wisdom as its Mother and Spirit as Father, how could it be any other?
To the groom He says:“For this reason shall a man leave Mother and Father,
And be joined to his wife forsaking all others.”
She is now bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh,
And together in their child is where they mesh.
Never a man spake like this man,
Wooing His bride, who is the soul in each man.
Wooing with Love’s Word, the eternal, “I forgive.”
Saying, “Rise up, my Fair One, and come live.”
ALL FOR THE PURPOSE OF A BIRTH, you see,
The child of Loves union of the Christ and me.
Only once before in earth’s history came this rare birth,
Of, Jesus, God’s love-child sent to this earth.
Just as Eliezer once was sent as servant to find
A wife for Isaac to preserve this blood line.
The Seed of great promise, the child so sublime.
Born in our hearts by His love divine.
Now all of Earth’s history stands to its feet,
Awaiting on tiptoe the magnitude of this great feat.
A child no longer in isolation low born,
But a man riding on white horse with his righteous throng.
Lo, the one has become many, His generation so strong.
All because His wife has borne Him a son.
God and His wife did ponder and say,
“What shall we call Him on His birthday?”
The labor was so long, two days you well know.
The birthpangs so intense, we feared death we’d not miss.
What could be more appropriate than LIFE this child to call.
The hope of all men who experienced the fall.
******************************************
The proud parents, Spirit and Wisdom
announce the birth of their child:
Full name: LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY
Time of Birth: THE DAY OF THE LORD
Weighing in: FULLGROWN
Height: FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING
********************************************************************
"The Greek word zoe is the word used throughout the New Testament for the God kind of life. There are three primary Greek words translated “life” in the New Testament. Zoe is the first, always used when speaking of divine and spiritual life. Then there is psuche, denoting natural, soulish, or human life. The third is bios, meaning the affairs of this world and our living in it. Jesus declared that He came into the world for one purpose — “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (Jn. 10:10). The Greek word translated “life” in this verse is zoe. This eternal life He came to give us is the very nature of God! “For as the Father hath life (zoe) in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life (zoe) in Himself” (Jn. 5:26). And again, “In Him was life (zoe); and the life (zoe) was the light of men” (Jn. 1:4). By His zoe life God imparts His very nature, essence, substance, and being into our human spirits! Zoe, then, means what we call eternal life, or God’s life, or divine life. This new kind of life is that which quickens the human spirit, awakening us and making us alive unto God!
Only the life that is both divine and eternal can be counted as life, for every other kind of life ends in death. Only life which is immortal can be considered life, for that which is immortal is unchangeable; it remains the same and continues living even after passing through any kind of blow or destruction. A life which is subject to any change, weakness, or death is neither unchangeable, indestructible, immortal, nor eternal. Such cannot be considered life! Only that which is divine, the God quality of life, is truly life. Though a man might claim that he has put on immortality in his body and will never physically die, if his body is still capable of being splattered on the highway by a Mack truck, he obviously does not have life reigning in his body! Even Jesus could die physically, until He came forth in the power of resurrection in a body possessed by divine life. That divine body could pass through any kind of blow or destruction without being affected in any way. He could pass right through the wall, appear and disappear, and nothing could overcome Him. What does it mean to have life? It means to have God Himself! Life is a mighty power! We will know the full power of that life when we have come to live fully out of that life"

The Earth Full of His Glory
by Stephen Jones
The Earth Full of His Glory
The concept that the whole earth will some day be filled with the glory of God is expressed five times in the Bible. The first example is found in Numbers 14 when Israel refused to enter Canaan at the Feast of Tabernacles. When Caleb and Joshua urged the people to enter Canaan, the people would have stoned them, except that suddenly "the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel" (14:10). God then threatened to disinherit Israel, but Moses interceded for them, saying that the Canaanites would say that God was incapable of bringing Israel into the land He had promised them. In other words, man's inability to follow God would be stronger than God's ability to bring them to the place of obedience.
This is a classic issue even in the Church today. Is God really sovereign? Does He really have the power to bring His glory into the earth through an obedient people? The task seems hopeless, if dependent upon the will of man; but an absolute certainty, if it is dependent upon God and God alone.
Although that generation lost the opportunity to receive God's fullness, God swore by an oath on His own name that He Himself would see to it that His glory would some day fill the earth. Numbers 14:21 says, "but indeed, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the LORD." This is God's intent, His purpose, His plan, and none can turn it aside or hinder it from coming in its appointed time.
God is bringing His glory to the earth in three stages, bound by three veils that are removed one at a time.
[my comment: remember Noah also released the Dove three times. This is symbolic of the three levels of spirit anointing or the three *heavens of consciousness* that are given to bring creation into the fullness of God experientially. The Passover Age began with Moses unto Christ, the Pentecostal Church Age from Christ unto the Present, and the Tabernacles Glory Age before us. But on an individual basis it represents our justification, our sanctification, and our glorification, spirit, soul, and body.]
The removal of these veils lead us into the three ages of Passover, Pentecost, and finally, Tabernacles, where His glory will be fully manifested in the overcomers. This will be the first body of people, a relatively small body of believers, who will be the first of the firstfruits unto God. The Church will come in next at the end of the Tabernacles Age. [into immortality] And in the years following, God will deal with the rest of the world until His glory has filled the whole earth. Details of God's plan in this regard are discussed fully in our book, Creation's Jubilee.
Besides Psalm 72:19 and Numbers 14:21, there are three other Scriptures where God declares His intention to manifest His glory throughout all the earth. Isaiah 6:3 says,
3 And one called out to another and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory."
In this prophetic vision at the time of Isaiah's call to the ministry, the prophet saw the goal of all prophetic utterance, the final end of God's work and purpose for creation. He saw the earth not burned up and in ruin, but on fire with the glory of God through the baptism of fire and the Holy Spirit. In Isaiah 11:9 the prophet affirms this. Then in Habakkuk 2:14 the prophet says,
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
To what extent do the waters cover the sea? I dare say it is one hundred percent. The prophet says that His glory will fill the earth in the same way. That is, there will be left no place on earth where the knowledge of His glory is not found. The earth has a glorious future, not because man's will is so powerful, but because God is sovereign.
Even so, God is also love, and for this reason He does not use force to get people to love Him in return. He is courting the nations, and this takes time. It is not God's intent that all men serve Him out of duty, but rather that they love Him and serve Him out of a heartfelt desire to do so. God's love is irresistible, after all, once a person has any real knowledge of that love. This is why God created time. It takes time for courtship to take place. Time was created out of love."

STARMATES, Soulmates and Twin Flames by David Hulse
Intro:
The dynamics of projection is one of the most powerful truths to be learned. The ego loves to project something that is on the inside of us that needs healing or forgiveness, to the outside upon others. This kind of thinking causes us to play out a psychodrama that believes we are the victims of something or someone else. It is maturity when you can choose not to see yourself as the victim and take responsibility for your own life. We are not going to change our lives until we are able to take responsibility for our own suffering and our own pain. The other side of this truth empowers us, because if we made our own pain we can change the dynamics that created it.
If some else created your pain then it will take somebody else to undo it for you. That is why we have remained in our adolescent hero worship of projecting upon others our need for them to come and save us. We don't think that we are responsible for own lives. We think everything has been done to us by the devil, by society, by religion, by parents, by family and etc. The real truth is that all of our relationships have been assignments for the opportunity to grow.
A lot of people that I meet across the country are single and the reason for this, I believe, is that they have attained a higher level of consciousness and they can't “hook up” with just anybody as many others do. Jesus said, “Where much is given, much is required.”
When you see the difference between a special relationship and a “wholly relationship", you have to hold out for the "wholly relationship." Special relationships are fun for awhile because the ego will bless a 'special relationship' in the beginning only to betray you in the end. What that means is that any relationship that you enter into with someone whether it is “wholly” or more “special”, if given over to God, God will use it for a purpose. But if you stay beyond the purpose, it will turn around and betray you. This type of relationship progresses into a dysfunctional one with the partners becoming co-dependent. Doesn't that ring a bell with some of you that started out in a relationship that was hot and heavy, only to find six months down the road that you had given your power away to that person and projected upon them. You were looking to receive from them what you had not found in yourself.
The reason people “fall” in love is because they didn't think they were beautiful, intelligent, etc. and someone told them they were, so they wanted that person in their life because they told them something about themselves that they had not found in themselves. So people take their energy and spirit and plug it into some other person. If you are abused, it is because your power was used against you. That is what the ego is, it is the one mind split and turned against itself. There is only one power and that is the divine power. That part of our divinity is the only thing that needs to be healed or saved.
The root meaning of the word devil is quite interesting. The 'de' of devil comes from the root word for divine. And 'il' or ill carries the meaning that the divine is ill. It does, of course, not mean intrinsically that the divine is ill or evil or wrong, but there is a part of the divine that has separated from its self, taken on a false identity and doesn't remember that it is divine any longer. Therefore, it looks to the outside for its identity, which it gets from society, culture or religions which can be very ill, misinformed ideas.
The essence of our being is not evil itself but it is the obstruction in our energy that has been validated in the belief system from the outside that may be an ill thought. Thats why very good people can do very bad things; very spiritual divine people can do some very devilish horrible things because they buy into the obstruction and forget their intrinsic essence.
Falling in Love
It is highly possible few of us on this earth yet knows God in the totality of true essence. If this is true, then we must also realize man does not know love in the totality of its true essence. God is love and love is God; therefore, to know one is to know the other. Just as man has built many images and idols of God through his ideas and philosophies, he has likewise built many images and idols of love.
Although there are many levels of love, we turn our attention to the most fulfilling, yet most devastating, fantasy man has ever created. Love that is channeled through a human level of understanding, invented an illusionary feeling of "falling in love." The majority of marriages and relationships are built on a lower emotional feeling. The statistics on suicide, and emotional or physical breakdown related to the trauma of losing the person one thought he could not live without, validates such a statement.
Humans have been propelled to invent an intense emotional feeling called "falling in love" in an attempt to compensate for the great need of oneness.
Some would ask, "What about those who have been together for twenty or thirty years?" More often than not, the feeling of being "in love" was lost early in the relationship. The love that remains is because one attains a place of maturity that chooses to love. Everyone who FALLS in love must also FALL out of love to learn how to truly love. Genuine and lasting love in relationships cannot begin until you rise out of this feeling of "falling in love."
What about this feeling of "falling in love"? Man has not known or understood that his consciousness echoes back to the time he was an infant, one with mother. When you fall in love, it is an overwhelming emotion. You feel connected again and believe you that that special person are one. You watch the same TV shows, enjoy the same movies, relish the same foods, etc. There is something special about your union, and together you are sure you can conquer the world and solve every problem in life. What is actually is happening is an honest effort to fulfill that great longing for at-one-ment.
The honeymoon is wonderful, but all too soon the same thing happens with the lover that happened with mother. The time comes when she doesn't want to go out to eat, you do. He wants to make love, you don't. Suddenly you are faced with the fact, "I am an individual separate from you. I thought you would always be one with me. I thought I had lost this identity of aloneness. For a while I thought you were it! My God, you're not it! I married the wrong one!" THEN you fall out of love and come to a crossroads and are forced to make a decision. Will you terminate the relationship and begin a new seach for someone else to lose yourself in or will you accept the situation and make the best of it? At that point, you have reached the place to discover and develop true love which is not first a feeling, but a state of being.
When you "fall in love" with someone, it is all built on a feeling. You are joined to a feeling, a feeling of being in a crowded room - "Strangers in the night" - remembering the time you were looking for her, looking for him and then glanced across the room and there he was, there she was. You're joined, your fused. Its called a "soul union". It is not love! It is an emotion NAMED love and FORMED by the living soul man has become.
It is mental energy that causes people to "FALL" in love. You don't fall in love with your mother, your sister, your father, your uncle, your dog or your cat - you love them. This should tell us that "falling in love" must have something to do with an emotion in the mind that manifests as a sexual, physical attraction. Secure and lasting relationships cannot be built on a sexual attraction alone. Or if you are with someone because they look really good, watch out, that all changes somewhere too.
The ego is quite inventive. It knew that tapping into feelings and emotions could reap great benefits. Movies and books presenting love stories produce millions of dollars every year. Man feeds on fantasies - In the middle of you favorite soap opera - she wakes up with not a hair out of place, and makeup intact. He walks in all dressed in a tie and suit. She meets him with a martini in hand and falls madly into his arms for a time of utopia. In the middle of this great fantasy, the real "he" comes home, and barely makes it to his favorite chair in front of the television and grabs the remote. He does not say a word except "What's for dinner?" He can't even come to the table with you. You take him a TV tray so he can watch his favorite show - Wheel of Fortune - and fantasize about Vanna White.
Let's consider love from a higher understanding. Before love is a feeling, it is first a willingness - not an overtaking emotions, but the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own spiritual growth as well as that of another. "Falling in love" does not extend itself. It is a personality dependency by which you look to another person to assuage your insecurities to validate you by transferring your wholeness and a part of your soul to them. This makes you believe that you cannot live without them. You enter into a "soul tie" and live in unfulfillment. Even when the decision is made to end the relationship, you can't seem to let them go because they hold a part of your soul - what you believe is your separate self identity. You find you can't live with them and you can't live without them.
This set up demands someone to constantly feed our insecurities by telling us how much they love us and must be continually reinforced by outer words and actions. Unfortunately most people don't feel like expressing love 24 hours a day. You try to walk your own path but the other one is saying, "But you haven't told me you love me today. Is there someone else?" So, you are seduced into the bedroom and expected to prove you are still attracted to them through sex.
Genuine love will respect the individuality of the other person, even at the risk of separation or loss. Each person must come to know and understand his own individual self before he can give of that same essence to another.

Starmates
"The kingdom of God is not meat and drink". It is not flesh. It's not just another hunky body or a beautiful figure that we are looking for. We are looking for substance, we are looking for essence. We are looking for a starmate.
Starmates transcend natural laws that say you can have only one special person in your life such as in an intimate relationship or marriage. As long as you keep it in the physical or sexual realm, the accepted norm is to remain with just one person. That doesn't really apply to people that are learning to live above the waist. You can have many different starmates, many different connections with people. You have crossed the boundaries of the body identity when you live and connect above the waist. Not only does this mean that you can have more than one relationship but you can also have relationships with those in a male or female body. But, if you are living below the waist and are trying to walk out the social, moral, normal kind of relatioship, then you have a lot of conditions required of you in order to gain validation from this present society.
The concept of starmates was shown to me while I was ministering during the eighties, the middle of the eighties, about the time of my inner transformation out of the fundamental arena. I was controversial even as a fundamentalist, but I was still in that particular arena of theology when I had this experience. I've only had three of these kind of experiences in my lifetime of years in the ministry. I refer to them as having a cellular memory. It was due to an intelligence that lives in the cells of my body that fired into some kind of universal memory that had nothing to do with my intellectual belief system.
This experience stemmed out of the desire to know why some people are extremely attracted to each other. In my many years of ministry since the time of sixteen, I have noticed that there are certain people that you meet that you are very attracted and compatible with. There are people that I feel very joined to and it doesn't matter if we haven't seen each other for a year or two or more, when we are reunited it is as if there was no time lapse.
I have also noticed the attraction that people have toward those that are in leadership positions such as ministers, doctors, etc. Many of those attractions are often interpreted with a sexual overlay, but in reality, something else is really happening that is above the waist. It is something that is happening in consciousness but of a more spiritual tone but it often is not rightly being perceived that way.
The way we have been taught in Western culture is with a black and white mentality of a very 'this' or 'that'. If you are attracted to someone it is always this, and if you are not, it is that. It is those gray areas where I find the more spiritually or metaphysically oriented thinkers. We are filling in the different shades between the extremes of just black or white thinking.
My cellular memory was what I believe to be a memory of creation. In a vision-like form I saw a very large bright ball, huge, in fact, that was like the sun. Out of this came an extended ray. Creation is an extension of the One. You and I are the Divine's idea of Its Self. We are God's self realization. What I was seeing was the Father and the Son that can say, "We are one. If you have seen me, you have seen the source, from which I came, because I am that. We are equal, but yet It is greater than I." Even though the ray can say, "I am the sun", it can't say, "I am all of the sun." it is equal to the sun in quality not quanity. If you were to dip a gallon of water from the ocean you would have ocean water but you wouldn't have the whole ocean. When you test the quality of water in your swimming pool, you don't test all 30,000 gallons of water in the pool. You take a sample of water in a test tube, and what is in that test tube will tell you everything you need to know about the water in the pool. Jesus said, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father, but my Father is greater than I." This is important to remember, because when you start to find your own divine identity, you must not let the ego lead you to believe that you are all there is. You are what is, but you are not all of what is.
Intuitively, while having this inner vision I knew the ray that had been extended from the sun thought it was the whole sun because of the consciousness it retains. But, the ray could not contain the consciousness of the whole anymore than the pail could contain the whole ocean. I saw that light ray burst into billions of tiny light particles and I knew that was the individualizaton of the whole. The whole was no longer All in One, but had become One in All. It was the One Source of intelligent energy that had indivualized itself into billions of sparks or light particles. These particles began to float freely, down, down, toward their destiny. As they were moving downward many of them were moving through each other and developing unique holographic interface patterns which would cause them when they incarnated to find each other again. These patterns held unique keys of each others lives that would awaken certain inner potentials that would cause the other to evolve a little faster. Upon incarnation when meeting would feel an attraction and say things like, "Haven't I met you somewhere before. Don't we know each other from somewhere?" Also, things like, "I feel like I have always known you."
These are your starmates or lightmates. When you are with them they will say things that activate you. Thoughts will start flowing through you that you haven't thought before and it becomes easier to get out of the small picture of your immediate life circumstances and see the bigger picture. You also can have many of these star partners for I saw hundreds of thousands of these particles intertwining as they descended on their journey into form.
I teach this to inform people about this level of attraction. It doesn't mean that you need to leave your husband or wife and interpret this relationship to mean "I'm falling in love with you." These relationships don't work at that level. What we have to be careful of when we find these starmates, or star partners, is that because we have lived for so long below the waist, the ego will try to interpret these attractions in a sexual way. This is why so many become infatuated with ministers or doctors or anyone who really helps them or they feel one with. We have to get these relationships tuned to the frequency of spirit where there is a divine purpose to be worked out or it is not going to work for you. If not you will get into the lowercase self and think that everything has to do with the body and make the associations from the lower chakras.
We have been successful at procreating the planet, now we have to become the teacher of how to co-create what we have procreated. We need to raise consciousness to where we can see the greater picture and become self responsible and not use these wonderful gifts just for self, but for the good of all mankind.
Another service of these starmates are as 'checkmates'. When you call these friends and share an idea you might have about something, you might just say, "I just had this idea and thought I would call you an check it out with you." Aren't you glad for these kinds of friends that won't judge you and tell you that you are crazy and will love you unconditionally. Being with you starmates makes you free to be 'you'. This means that we are free to move through one another heart to heart.
The dynamics of projection is one of the most powerful truths to be learned. The ego loves to project something that is on the inside of us that needs healing or forgiveness, to the outside upon others. This kind of thinking causes us to play out a psychodrama that believes we are the victims of something or someone else. It is maturity when you can choose not to see yourself as the victim and take responsibility for your own life. We are not going to change our lives until we are able to take responsibility for our own suffering and our own pain. The other side of this truth empowers us, because if we made our own pain we can change the dynamics that created it.
If some else created your pain then it will take somebody else to undo it for you. That is why we have remained in our adolescent hero worship of projecting upon others our need for them to come and save us. We don't think that we are responsible for own lives. We think everything has been done to us by the devil, by society, by religion, by parents, by family and etc. The real truth is that all of our relationships have been assignments for the opportunity to grow.
A lot of people that I meet across the country are single and the reason for this, I believe, is that they have attained a higher level of consciousness and they can't “hook up” with just anybody as many others do. Jesus said, “Where much is given, much is required.”

Starmates, SOULMATES and Twin Flames by David Hulse
Soulmates
Next we have soulmates. Soulmates are people that we attract into our life to work out our karmas and for learning certain lessons. I cringe sometimes when people tell me, "This is my soulmate." I silently say, "Bless them Lord." I know what they are thinking: "This is the one." And again I silently say to myself, "We'll give this six months or a year at the most. This couple is here to work out something in each others's life. They are going to push each other's buttons for sure." This is soul work, for the evolving of the human soul. This is a less dense level than our physiology, but still we are not at our most pure level of spiritual consciousness.
Having soulmates is not our highest "wholly relationship". These assignments that come into our lives to remind us of what we do not want to see and heal in ourselves, and they are going to bring up everything in our subconscious that we have denied about ourselves. Where we get stuck in this is when we buy into the ego and the ego interprets this as victimization. That this person has come along and made me feel bad about myself, made me angry, but the real truth about this is that no one can make you feel angry if there is not already anger somewhere in the recesses of your soul. So the anger that someone makes you feel may not be about what they actually said or did, but may be a memory in the mind that happened to you years ago or perhaps lifetimes ago. It can be about a lot of heavy baggage that has not been healed in this life stream.
The ego wants to transpose the dynamics of cause and effect and make you think that the external world is what effects you and causes you to feel angry. When the real truth in metaphysics is that the world of cause is inside, and the outer world is the effect. The outer world only mirrors back to us what is on the inside. Even Jesus had to deal with His own human heredity that He called the adversary for He said, "My adversary(prince) of this world cometh and hath nothing in me." John 14:30 What Jesus was really saying was that He had taken care of and healed everything in His life stream, therefore nothing could respond to stimuli outside of Himself. Was not His declaration on the cross the ultimate forgiveness: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." How many can say that to someone that has abused you, lied to you or cheated on you?
You have to have a quantum leap out of level one to into level two. Level one is what things appear and feel to be. Level two is what or who we really are. That means that there is a part of a person at the higher level that has never done these things at all. If the divine in me sees the divine in you, I will know you in innocence. At another level the soul has all these repressed memories of abuse and projects it outward. Judeo Christianity wants to fix things up from this level. In my opinion that is one of the failures of traditional Christianity. There is a more excellent way: go behind the veil. Go into the most holy place. Move into another level where what you feel has happened never took place - it was an illusion. Your ego responds, "Sure, it was all an illusion, look at these scars." This is remaining on the ego's level to try to heal, but they are many other rooms in the mansion. "In my Father's house are many mansions", many rooms and many dwelling places of consciousness. We don't have to get stuck in one world's view or perception.
So, our soulmates are to help us clean out the attic and clean out the basement or in other words to clear out the psyche or the dark side of the soul where we have trapped consciousness that is ready to come into the light of the Christ consciousness. Most of the time these are people that we have made a life investment and when they make us angry we need to ask our self what is it that they have touched that I need to heal in myself. When I can shift my perception and see that is in not my enemy but this is my holy brother or sister who has come to remind me what I need to heal in myself then I can love my enemy and call them my teacher. And when we make this shift in perception about our brother, he is healed as well in our own mind. Contemplate the magnitude of this gesture multiplied many times over to embrace everyone in this world.
Fundamentalists have spent millions of dollars trying to evangelize the world one by one. But Christ is coming as a thief in the night. He is coming in the back door of the collective consciousness. What many have been trying to tell them them for many years they are going to get from within themselves. The ego is going to rise up in you and say, "I beg your pardon, I have been trying to tell you this for years and you rejected it." You will not receive any validation for their realization of the Truth and this is what will keep us from falling into a spiritual/religious hierarchy again. This is what will change the whole religious theocracy.
When we think someone has a corner on the truth we plug our energy into them and want to follow them. We don't need any more gurus or one man/woman potentates. We still have pastors and teachers because we still are in transitions but we need teachers that are empowering us not taking our power from us. If we can see things as they really are we will be empowered to heal ourselves, making ourselves and our soulmates eligible to become our "twin flame" or our spiritual mate.
Next we have soulmates. Soulmates are people that we attract into our life to work out our karmas and for learning certain lessons. I cringe sometimes when people tell me, "This is my soulmate." I silently say, "Bless them Lord." I know what they are thinking: "This is the one." And again I silently say to myself, "We'll give this six months or a year at the most. This couple is here to work out something in each others's life. They are going to push each other's buttons for sure." This is soul work, for the evolving of the human soul. This is a less dense level than our physiology, but still we are not at our most pure level of spiritual consciousness.
Having soulmates is not our highest "wholly relationship". These assignments that come into our lives to remind us of what we do not want to see and heal in ourselves, and they are going to bring up everything in our subconscious that we have denied about ourselves. Where we get stuck in this is when we buy into the ego and the ego interprets this as victimization. That this person has come along and made me feel bad about myself, made me angry, but the real truth about this is that no one can make you feel angry if there is not already anger somewhere in the recesses of your soul.

Starmates, Soulmates and TWIN FLAMES by David Hulse
Twin Flames
The interesting thing, at this point, is that our "twin flame" may not just be another person, but may be our own "wholly" relationship with ourselves. We may experience being so in love with the Christ self within that we will find this relationship transcending all relationships below the waist with other physical bodies. Not that this must be the case but it can be just as exciting to experience deep intimacy with our true Christ self, so much so, that nothing else compares to this cosmic orgasm versus the biological or physical one. And, conversely, there will be some that experience both elements - having intimacy within themselves and with another that is also experiencing intimacy within themselves.
I was very touched by the scene in the movie Cocoon as were many others who are on a spiritual path. Do you recall the scene where the young man wanted to embrace the "girl" and have a sexual encounter with her in the usual physical way? But she had him to remain on the opposite side of the pool and showed him a much more profound kind of intimacy. Out of her heart proceeded this magnanimous light that pierced into him causing an exhilaration beyond anything he had ever experienced in the natural. This was a wonderful example showing us there may be a more excellent way. And, indeed, there is, as we move into being a more universal species.
Another example was a book that touched me some years ago which relates an experience by a woman that had a cosmic orgasm out in the desert during meditation. She believed that why we crave physical orgasm is because it puts us in a transcendent state at the time. You can't hate anyone and have an orgasm or be prejudiced and have one. You are one with everything in that moment. In fact, this is tantamount to "going home" and visiting. Imagine "going home" and staying or living at that frequency of life. Total ecstasy and bliss!! This then becomes the new norm.
After all our karma has been worked out with all our soulmates and associations, and total forgiveness has been attained throughout our entire life stream, throughout all our incarnations, and we are totally clear, then we become candidates to move into the higher relationships that I call our "twin flames".
Therefore our twin flame relationships are with those who have their own wholeness and are joined with others who have completed the birth/death cycle for the purpose of co-creating a new heaven and a new earth!!
Conclusion
These are the 30, 60 and 100 fold levels of relationship.
To recap: starmates are those you find fellowship and support with in your life processes. They are the ones that you call at four a.m. in the morning when you are having a rough time with a soulmate. You get on the phone and call one of your starmates that is a friend for life and always understands you and you pour your heart out to them. Starmates are the supporters of your process. They will be there in the triumphs as well for they feel like family.
Twin flames is a term I use to describe the higher more spiritual type of relationship. These are those that burn as one flame. This is when a marriage can be called a ministry. When all the "stuff" is over and you find a pure co-creative partner and you are together not just for yourselves but for the planet. Together you become a holy synergy, entrepreneurs with ideas for the upgrading of the earth. You become a ministry together. One flame, one in purpose. You both have been processed in a way that has brought you together into the heart of the Mother/Father and are so in rhythm with creation that now you can turn toward humanity.
I think it becomes obvious why this information can be very empowering to us. When different people come and go in our lives, we can sit back as the observer and discern exactly what is happening. Ask yourself, "What exactly is going on here? Why am I attracted to this person? Where is the attraction coming from and what is it I am experiencing?"
If we really listen to what the spirit is saying we won't have to fall into these little detours that may build more karma in our lives. We want to stay in step and sync with the seasons of God.
"To everything there is a season." Ecc. 3:1

Why Did We Have To Experience Good and Evil?
What Was Missing??
Here are a few of my thoughts of why we had to experience good and evil.
What was missing?
Okay, we ask ourself, if we came out of God and are just returning to God, then why the necessity of the Adamic experience? Why the middle-man experience of Adam? Why didn't God just remain self-contained as God-All-In-One instead of God ex-pressing out of Himself the All?
I think the answer is to know or 'become' good and evil. "The Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil." This also illustrates the difference between man's idea about 'knowing' and God's. Man thinks to 'know' something is to think about it - just information - information retrieval and storage. But God's definition is "to become it'. To know good and evil, we had to become it. This was what was missing!
We were not to remain as innocent celestial spirits but spirits lowered into and clothed with flesh and blood, men tried and proven and developed in experiential righteousness.
Eph. 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Yes, God took a nap in matter(us) for a little season, but he is waking up and raising from the dead! But because there is only One Power, you can take your God power while you are asleep or unenlightened and miscreate with it. This is what the prodigal son did.
When God or the seed of life in us is asleep or not quickened to life or not conscious, we are sleepwalkers. We go about our, so called, life in a state of sleep which the bible calls death. But because there is really only one Power or Energy or Life in this universe, then what creates this thing we call evil is the only power that exists, God! But, it is God asleep, and undeveloped as man. I call it God in reverse- in reverse gear. The word E-V-I-L is the word L-I-V-E spelled backwards. Evil is living life in reverse. That's why we have to repent or turn around. We are going in the wrong direction. We are using our God-endowed creative abilities to miscreate with. But there is a people coming of full age now able to discern BOTH good and evil and having our senses exercised to know and in truly knowing we can choose again. "As for me and my house (spirit, soul and body) we will serve the Lord".

Jane Leade Prophecy from 1619
A remarkable prophecy given in the year 1619 contains some wonderful truths and predictions of the raising up of a firstfruits people, among whom "certain head powers" shall bear "the first office" and will be among the first to be commissioned as priests with the glory of an endless life. We quote only a portion of that prophecy by Jane Leade:
"A prophet, and the most prophetical generation, will the Most High raise up who shall deliver His people by a force of spiritual arms; for which there must be raised certain head powers to bear the first office, who are to be persons in favor with God, whose dread and fear shall fall on all nations, visible and invisible, because of the mighty acting power of the Holy Spirit which shall rest upon them; for CHRIST WILL APPEAR IN SOME CHOSEN VESSELS to bring into the Promised Land, the new creation state. None shall stand under God but those who have become 'tried' stones after the pattern and similitude of Christ. This will be a fiery trial through which a very few will be able to pass or bear up in it; whereby the waiters for this visible breaking forth are strictly charged to hold fast, and wait together in the unity of Pure Love. This trial will be of absolute necessity to all for the clearing away of all remaining infirmities of the natural mind, and the burning of all hay, wood, and stubble, for nothing must remain in the fire, for as a refiner shall He purify the sons of the Kingdom. There will be some who will be fully redeemed, being clothed upon with a priestly garment after the Melchizedek order. This will qualify them for governing authority. Therefore, it is required on their part to suffer the SPIRIT OF BURNING, and the fanning of the FIERY BREATH SEARCHING EVERY PART WITHIN THEM UNTIL THEY ARRIVE A FIXED BODY from whence the wonders are to flow out. Therefore, there should be a holy emulation and ambition stirred up among the bands of believers that they may be of the firstfruits unto Him that is risen from the dead, and so be made principal agents for Him and with Him, that they may be, if possible, of the number of the First-born, of the New Jerusalem mother. All true waiters of His Kingdom in Spirit, under whatsoever profession they may be, ought to be numbered among the VIRGIN SPIRITS, to whom this message appertains. Be watchful and quicken your pace..." -end quote.

How God Married Matter
I believe that when God took out of Himself, Himself.... these selves/cells of him was who we were in our first estate as a spirit creation, or the Elohim. I once tried to put this into words, as best I could, as follows:
God took out of himself the image and likeness of himself. And these selves of him, called the Elohim in turn created an image and likeness of themselves, called man. And man, in his lowered and slowered condition, has in turn created an image and likeness of himself, called the ego.....who sits in the temple calling himself God.
Someone has put it very well I think when they said, "God(Elohim) created us in his image and we tried to return the complement." We in turn created God in our image. Man in his lowered condition could only create a God as he knew himself to be.
Now is God ultimately responsible for this? Yes, in the sense that the worlds were 'framed' by him. Anything that has a frame around it, has a boundary, or fence containing the contents. God knew that nothing could 'fall' outside of this boundary of true spirit that framed man.
God our Father and Source, knew when he turned the parts of himself loose to go into a far country that they would be trying out their creative skills as adolescent gods in consciousness, not fully grown up into the image of their True Father.
God wanted to experience his creation and to fill all things with Himself, and he wanted a vessel that would be experientially mature not just be innocent virgins in the sense that we had never actually intercoursed with matter. Our experience with matter had to be complete...we had to marry, or really know intimately what it means to be human.
After awakening or having our old man crucified, or having the sense that we are only human and not spirit, these vessels could now begin to experientially and consciously put on Christ .
The New Creation Man, the union of heaven and earth as One.
Now this comes through the filter called Karen, so you will have to in turn filter it through your own vessel if any of this resonates as truth in you.
Either yea or nay, all our love,
Karen

Enlarging Your Definiton of Self
"Imagine enlarging your definition of self to include all of life."Ron your comments by Dr. Keck made me think of a writing by a friend of mine, a friend that actually practiced meditations where he would start with himself and then begin to see his energy field expand out enveloping his immediate space, then his neighborhood, his town, his state, our country, our world, our universe etc.... so I will share some excerpts from his thoughts:
Full-On Energy Hookup
The resistance we have built up as ego and body to create a 'them' and 'me' perspective must be released to accept a full flow of all-there-is-energy and transform. On my bike ride to day our Self was showing me the energy acceleration we need to exhibit our light form comes from a full-on link up with all the energy in the multiverses. Total unconditional acceptance of all the energy. This energy flow will accelerate all our physical cells, break down the pattern that imprisons them, and set us free.
"It is the merging of your inner and outer reality. You already 'know' you are the inner Self looking through those eyeballs but you are also the outer you. You are the all the observers (all inner beings) and you are all the observed ( all creation). You can look your Self in the face in everyOne you meet. All creation is waiting for this acknowledgement - this connection. The experience of this is the 'union'." End Quote
If transfiguration is a full-on energy hookup with All Of Ourself, Our True Self, Our Christ Self, WOW, guys. As we let go of our resistances we will enter into the full-on "glorious liberty of the sons of God" without measure"! And yes, creation is waiting for the acknowledgement that you see them for who they really are. They feel what vibration you are coming from - love or judgement- no matter what your words are, the spirit of either love or judgement is conveyed and picked up by their spirit, even if it is only the weather you may be talking about. If it is love and recognition of the Christ in them, there is a true energy exchange going on in the spirit and "My Lord will say unto My Lord" reality happens and we actually are those life-giving spirits.
Energetically yours,
Karen
The Seal Breaker
Rev. 5
"And I saw lying on the open hand of Him Who was seated on the throne a (book) scroll written within and on the back, [that infers both inside and outside]closed and sealed with seven seals.
We are the seven-sealed book of life in the hand of our God and we have life and instruction and purpose written both inside and outside of us. We have an inner kingdom and relationship with our God where the secrets of his heart are made known to us and we are coded to become an outward manifestation of this inward glory too.
And I saw a strong angel announcing in a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll? And - who is entitled and is morally fit - to break its seals?
And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to take a [single] look at its contents.
And I wept bitterly because no one was found fit to open the scroll or to inspect it.
Then one of the elders [of the heavenly sanhedrin] said to me, Stop weeping! See, the LION of the tribe of Judah, the Root (Source) of David, has won - has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and break its SEVEN SEALS!
This is the first attribute of one who is worthy to open the seals...he is Lionlike....He is Kingly....he has authority! This first command to John was to look and see a Lion.
And there between the throne and the four living creatures (beings) and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing as though it had been slain, with SEVEN horns and SEVEN eyes, which are the SEVEN Spirits of God [that is the sevenfold Holy Spirit] Who have been sent [on duty far and wide] into all the earth.
But when John looks, what does he see? He sees a slain Lamb standing....with seven eyes and seven horns.....eyes that can penetrate into the depths of every aspect of our earth and see our pre-birth wisdom and not only see it but loosen it into resurrection life, quickening, speeding up our vibrations to a higher frequency in preparation for his full appearing in us.
He then went and took the scroll from the right hand of Him Who sat on the throne. (this throne is a mercyseat)
And when He had taken the scroll (book) the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders prostrated themselves before the Lamb....
Everything in us will bow or submit to this "breaking" of our seals.
And [now] they sing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to break the seals that are on it, for You were slain and with Your blood You purchased men unto God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
And You have made them a kingdom [royal race] and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth!
This Lion-Lamb is our High Priest and King, the one who has the authority of a Lion, or the authority of a King, but rules with the heart of a slain Lamb....one who is of the order of Melchizedek, and Praise God, as these seals are broken in us to reveal his son, we also are able to manifest all the attributes of this Seal Breaker and become co-creators of this Lion/Lamb ministry unto the world.
"And I saw lying on the open hand of Him Who was seated on the throne a (book) scroll written within and on the back, [that infers both inside and outside]closed and sealed with seven seals.
We are the seven-sealed book of life in the hand of our God and we have life and instruction and purpose written both inside and outside of us. We have an inner kingdom and relationship with our God where the secrets of his heart are made known to us and we are coded to become an outward manifestation of this inward glory too.
And I saw a strong angel announcing in a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll? And - who is entitled and is morally fit - to break its seals?
And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to take a [single] look at its contents.
And I wept bitterly because no one was found fit to open the scroll or to inspect it.
Then one of the elders [of the heavenly sanhedrin] said to me, Stop weeping! See, the LION of the tribe of Judah, the Root (Source) of David, has won - has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and break its SEVEN SEALS!
This is the first attribute of one who is worthy to open the seals...he is Lionlike....He is Kingly....he has authority! This first command to John was to look and see a Lion.
And there between the throne and the four living creatures (beings) and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing as though it had been slain, with SEVEN horns and SEVEN eyes, which are the SEVEN Spirits of God [that is the sevenfold Holy Spirit] Who have been sent [on duty far and wide] into all the earth.

He, the Overcomer
Amen, the Overcomer is the worthy one and if you happen to notice it never says overcomers, as in the plural, it always says "He who overcomes"....we become the potential "He" when our spirit is joined with his Spirit and we are made One.
"He that overcomes (is victorious), I WILL GRANT HIM to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame and sat down beside My Father on His throne."
Why would Jesus say "I will grant"?.....because "all power both in heaven and earth has been given him"....God has divested all of Himself into his Son, or what gives expression and execution of his thoughts and intents. Jesus was the firstborn cell of this Son that overcame the Adamic death in all its forms and being raised to equal status and glory with the Father, he became the High Priest of this Corporate Body of Sons that would also through training and experience be empowered to sit with him on his throne.
We are taught in one place, that we are now seated with him in heavenly places, and here we are taught that this place is only granted to overcomers. Which is it?
Both!
He must increase.
I must decrease.
The increase of God comes by inspiration and revelation through the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, that when the spirit of truth comes (the Comforter, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost experience) that he would teach you all things, and show you things to come.
We first grasp these things in the spirit, this is our increase. "Set your mind on things above". We start getting refocused in 'above thinking'.
I don't think that we are even aware of the fact of being double minded until we are awakened in God. Up until this time we just lived out of our natural mind. But when we are born of the incorruptible seed or the incorruptible word, that word begins to divide soul from spirit.....or to divide what is soulish in us from what is spirit truth in us. This, I believe, is where we have been learning to be made the overcomer.
The Overcomer is the 100 fold realm in God.
Our Passover or salvation experience makes us aware of being a member of the kingdom of God or family of God. 30 fold
Our baptism of the Holy Ghost or Pentecostal experience begins to teach us to hear his voice and be empowered to walk in the ways of the spirit. 60 fold.
And this "catching up" experience of his full appearing in a Firstfruits of the harvest people, will be what brings the complete rulership of Christ to bear in this world, which has been typified as the Feast of Tabernacles. A 100 fold demonstration of the tabernacling Life of God as King and Priest or Lion and Lamb in a Corporate Body.
This Corporate Body is the Second Coming of Christ, as Jesus was the first.
"Then suddenly there appeared with the angel an army of the troops of heaven - a heavenly knighthood - praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among men."
"I Jesus have sent My messenger to you to witness and to give assurance of these things for the churches. I am [both] the Root [the Source] and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brillant Morning Star.
The Holy Spirit and the Bride say, Come!"

What Language Does God Speak?
If I had been born in France, I would naturally speak French. If I hail from Spain, I would speak Spanish. If from Germany, I would speak German.
If I am spirit, my native tongue is spirit for we are the spirit words of God that have been sent into this world just as Jesus was....words that will not return void. Jesus prayed, "Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. ..and I am glorified through them - in them my glory is achieved." John 17
Together as the words of God we form or makup The Word of God, the Amen of God in this earth. Our lives are meant to be the Amen to all that spirit is.
God speaks spirit.....but he uses French, Spanish, German, Greek, English, Japanese, or whatever language we speak to package and deliver spirit essence in when we speak. Our earthly words become the carrier of our spirit word, just as the electric lines into your house carry this elusive electric energy or current to our homes.

The Number of the Name of Jesus Christ
The Number of the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
With all the talk about the mark of the beast and the number of his name, most people are familiar with 666, but they know little or nothing about the mark of Christ or the number of His name (3168 in Greek and 792 in Hebrew). Here is a blog posted by Pete Kelly that will help to answer that. It can be found on:
http://www.homewithgod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=175
The Bible tells us that "in the begining was the Word, and the Word was God." Later John writes that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We're also told that "all things were made by Him." It is a true statement, then, that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things! So why would we be surprised if we found that God used math?
He invented it, didn't He? Of course He did!
The Holy Bible was written in Hebrew and Greek . . . the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. These two alphabets have both "alpha" and "numeric" values. For example. . . In Hebrew "aleph = 1", "beth = 2", "gimel = 3" and so on. Likewise in Greek "alpha = 1", "beta = 2", "gamma = 3" and so on. It is interesting to note that the title "Lord Jesus Christ" has a numeric value of 3168 in Greek, and 792 in Hebrew, and it is evident that these two numbers are found to repeat all through the creation.
For example...the mean diameter of the Earth is 7920 miles....792 is Lord Jesus Christ in Hebrew. If we place the Earth in a box that it would fit in precisely, we'd have a box with 4 sides that each were 7920 miles wide.......7920 x 4 = 31,680.....3168 is Lord Jesus Christ in Greek.
Look at a map of Israel...you will find that the location of Bethlehem is at latitude 31.68 degrees east......3168 is Lord Jesus Christ in Greek. The distance from Bethlehem where Jesus was born, to Jerusalem where he was crucified and resurrect is 6 miles.....6 miles is equal to 31,680 feet.......3168 is Lord Jesus Christ in Greek.
The thickness of Earth's atmosphere where the mixture ratio remains most constant is 60 miles....60 miles is equal to 316,800 feet.......3168 again!
Astronomers have determined that our Sun is merely one of over a billion other stars that make up the Milkyway Galaxy. They've determined that our Sun resides out near the edge of one of the spiral arms of the galaxy, and they've determined that our galaxy is spinning, which is common amongst galaxies. They determined that it takes our Sun 220, 000,000 years to ride around with our galaxy for one galactic rotation. One complete rotation is equal to 360 degrees......220,000,000 x 360 = 7,920,000,000,000.....792 is Lord Jesus Christ in Hebrew!
This relates to the speed that our Sun is actually traveling through outer space as it rides around with our galaxy during a galactic rotation, which is 600,000 m.p.h. Amazingly.....600,000 m.p.h. is equal to 3,168,000,000 feet per hour.....3168 again!
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 93,000,000 miles. The Sun provides "light" for us on Earth. Jesus said, "I am the light of the world". Jesus also refered to the speed of light in the Bible! Did you know that? He sure did! Matthew 24:27 For as lightening cometh out of the east and shineth unto the west, so shall the coming of the son of man be. Notice that he said "shineth unto the west"....Jesus is implying that "light" has "motion"....which wasn't discovered until about 80 years ago or so. Needless to say...we now know that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second....okay...remember the distance from the Earth to the Sun?......93,000,000 miles?......Okay.....93,000,000 miles coverted to inches is 5,892,500,000,000 inches.....that number divided by 186,000 is 31,680......3168 again!
Am I boring you guys yet? There is much more....but I'll stop with one more....the following example is the distance from each planet in our solar system to the Sun, only the zeros have been removed to save space....and a zero is merely an empty place holder any way....okay....here we go.....Mercury = 36, Venus = 67, Earth = 93, Mars = 142, Jupiter = 483, Saturn = 886, Uranus = 1782, Neptune = 2793, Pluto = 3672. When you add all these numbers the total is 9954......a circle with circumference of 9954 has a diameter of 3168!!!! Praise our Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!
I hope you've found these examples to be exciting and revealing. What an AWESOME GOD we serve!!!! Peace to you and yours, and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ remain with you always!
Just a Cup of Water
Yes, indeed, Jesus the historical man has been made an idol of and also an icon [there is a difference]....but before I let myself get judgemental about many in the religious realms that still hold him in that 'image', [that he alone was or is the Son of God] I believe that we need to just see those of that mindset as yet undeveloped in consciousness in order to be able to move beyond their limited vision. Because every time we call them idol worshippers or whatever else, we have named them or natured them just as Adam did the animals. We are holding them guilty when we do this. [David, I am not personally addressing you in this point at all...just making a generic statement]For I cannot hold my brother guilty without holding myself guilty if we are all of One.
I personally believe that anywhere in whatever way that Jesus is lifted up, be it in a 30-fold (savior) understanding, 60-fold (Lord) or 100-fold (King) , or anything in between, God looks at the heart before the head and meets people right where they are. I know that for a fact, because I have traversed through all those dimensions and was loved and lead on by the loving, living, Christ within me. You know if you followed the natural numerical order of 30, 60...then 90 should be the next sum, but "He will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or think" right on into being an experiential equal heir with him...an anointing without measure!
The water of Jesus as my savior was later turned into the wine of my enChristed being. Jesus said that just a cup of water given would have its reward. And I can attest to that fact. I had my first cup of water with Jesus as my savior when I was five years old and when I was 16 I was baptized in the Holy Ghost and got a taste of the Oil of Gladness and had some fire lit under me, the rest is history, as they say.....here we are today talking about being one with him in every way.
So, yes, the historical Jesus has had a Sonset in me to become my Sonrise....and I don't think that he would have it any other way.....Love just has a way of giving itself completely.
As far as the Da Vinci code - I know that there are some that embrace that, but for me its not about if Jesus had a natural lineage or kids, but its about a spiritual heritage. In his glorification, the son became a father....he fathered a generation from the heavens not the earth....we are his gene-ration....we have throne-room genes, Oneness genes, resurrection genes, Life genes...\o/
Continued blessings and glorious Light to all,
With love,

The Big Bloom!
Here is an excerpt from the Living Energy Universe:
"How would you feel if you knew scientifically that everything is eternal, alive, and evolving?
Not just animals and plants, but rivers and clouds, planets and stars, electrons and protons, waves and particles, even light and energy itself. That every system, in some essential way, contains eternal, living, and evolving memories. That the whole universe is a living, remembering, self-revising process - a living energy universe. And therefore, in a deep sense, all things - great and small, visible and invisible, material and spiritual, past and future - are in an energetic state of creative "becoming", a universal revising process of dynamic perpetual bloom.
Would you feel exhilarated, peaceful, terrified, amazed, incredulous, inspired - all of the above. Would you smile.
Ken Wilbur has suggested that maybe the universe did not begin with the big "bang", but rather began with the big "bloom".
This book is about a story, a really big story, a story as big as the big bang or big bloom itself. If this story expresses a truth, it will forever change the way all of us envision both the visible and invisible aspects of nature. it will revise the way we view everything - body, mind, spirit, energy - everything.

& Linda G.S. Russek, Ph.D

We've heard expressions like "God sang the universe into being" or that he spoke the universe into being, but that he bloomed it into being just gives you the feeling of a rare and exquisite flower unfolding so that Beauty would find an avenue of expression.

The Transfiguration Receipe
I feel that Peter was a necessary ingredient in the transfiguration receipe. Let me try to explain my take:
The twelve disciples can also be seen as aspects of the spirit....Peter being faith, James being hope and John being Love.
Jesus knew that these three "attributes" were foundational elements or key ingredients for manifesting the fullness of the spirit, that is why he chose these three I think...not because they were necessarily favored above the others.
1. Justified by FAITH
2. Sanctified through HOPE (Christ in you, the HOPE of glory)
3. Matured in LOVE (The Glory)
I guess another reason that I think that Peter was part of this experience of seeing Jesus turn himself inside out, was when he later writes of this experience:
“2Pe 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.”
Peter is trying to make known to his listeners that, “ this is no fable, guys, this is the COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, I was there, I am a personal eyewitness of the event of the coming of the Lord INTO FLESH. And it was majestic!!!

What Is Hell?
I always found M.Thomas-Benedict's near death experience description of hell to accurately sum up what hell is:
So we all know that natural darkness's only remedy is the turning on of a light. We can stand and rebuke the darkness and try to cast it out of the room, but that will not change a thing till we reach over and turn the switch on which releases electrial power to flow into the light bulb producing light.
Where did the darkness go when we turn on the light? Nowhere. Because it has no source. Light is the only thing that has a source.
Our daylight has a source, the sun. But our darkness, has no source...in other words, there is not some moon of darkness shining down darkness upon our earth during our nighttime providing a source for this darkness. Our earth has merely turned away from the sun in its daily orbit creating an absence of light.
So neither does spiritual darkness....which is a turning away from the light, either consciously or unconsciously. Now I am not saying that darkness is not a condition that doesn't need remedied...it does. "Let God arise and his enemies be scattered." The rising sun never needs to fight the darkness does it? Its mere presence does the job. Darkness finds no hiding place in the presence of the light.
I would like to add some more thoughts about this in connection with the Melchisedek priesthood ministry perhaps later.

"During my near-death experience I had a descent into what you might call Hell, and it was very surprising. I did not see Satan or evil. My descent into Hell was a descent into each person’s customized human misery, ignorance, and darkness of not knowing. It seemed like a miserable eternity. But each of the millions of souls around me had a little star of light always available. But no one seemed to pay attention to it. They were so consumed with their own grief, trauma and misery. But, after what seemed an eternity, I started calling out to that Light, like a child calling to a parent for help.Darkness is not really the presense of anything - it is an absense. It is an absense of light. When you are made aware of darkness it is most often accompanied by a feeling of coldness.....sorta funny because hell is always pictured as a hot place. Anywhere that the Son is not shining is a mighty cold place. But as SilentR always says, "Heaven is hotter than hell"...Hallelujah! Holy Ghost Fire!
Then the Light opened up and formed a tunnel that came right to me and insulated me from all that fear and pain, That is what Hell really is. So what we are doing is learning to hold hands, to come together. The doors of Hell are open now. We are going to link up, hold hands, and walk out of Hell together."
So we all know that natural darkness's only remedy is the turning on of a light.

The Ministry of Melchizedek
Barbara, I too was involved in a similar type ministry in past years as you mentioned - ministering to nations and conditions all around the world from the realm of spirit. I felt it began to get off track by focusing on the negative instead of ministering to the Christ in all men....so spirit moved me out and on once again. So many times we think that we have had our one time coming out experience when we left organized religion, but I have found there to be a continual coming out and moving on experience as we progress down the path of light.
Which leads me to what I wanted to share about the Melchizedek ministry. I know that this is not new information for so many of you, but just represents my need to deliver my own soul as I talk to Myself.
Ezekiel chapter 44 gives us a definition of two kinds of ministry that I believe are examples that will be seen in this Day of the Lord. One is the Melchizedek order of priesthood ministry who are allowed to minister unto the Lord in their linen garments and then the priesthood who is only allowed to minister in the outer court for they did not qualify for the highcalling of God because they chose the ways of flesh.
Now in Ezekiel these faithful priests were the sons of Zadok - Melchi-zadok priests.
Quote:
"But the priest of the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to me and they shall attend Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood.
They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep my charge.
When they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed in linen garments; no wool shall be on them while they minister at the gates of the inner court and within the temple."
One of the things that I glean from this is that this higher order of ministry is always to the Christ, not just the God that is seen as out there somewhere, but this is a ministry unto the Christ in all men.....not fighting the darkness that may manifest in them, but helping to turn on the light.
I remember so vividly sitting in the movie theater watching "Dead Man Walking" when Susan Sarandon, who was playing the part of the nun who ministerd to men on death row, said to Sean Penn, who was playing the the young man on death row who had participated in the rape and murder of two young people, "You are a son of God". She was redirecting his focus to his true identity and he said "No one ever called me that before." I began to see the bigger picture in this movie as the condition of all men who have lost their true identity in this world and are living on death row, so to speak, whether their lives were misspent in evil as this young man or even in good works as with others.
Before he was strapped to the execution table she told him to keep his eyes on her and the love that would be there.....well I just about lost it in that movie...I could have sobbed out loud....and I was not the only one...there were all kinds of people around me sniffling quietly. Now maybe most of them were caught up in the story line for it was compelling, but for me it represented what the Melchizedek ministry is all about. It a ministry unto the Lord....unto the Lord living in all creation.
Now did this nun's ministry to this young man excuse his ungodly actions...no, in fact, it helped him to realize how profane they were and to repent. Love does convict us first, for to stand in the presence of overwhelming Love creates a stark contrast of just where we have been living and where we want to really be. And thank God for those clean linen garments of righteousness that are provided so lovingly to us.
Which leads me to what I wanted to share about the Melchizedek ministry. I know that this is not new information for so many of you, but just represents my need to deliver my own soul as I talk to Myself.
Ezekiel chapter 44 gives us a definition of two kinds of ministry that I believe are examples that will be seen in this Day of the Lord. One is the Melchizedek order of priesthood ministry who are allowed to minister unto the Lord in their linen garments and then the priesthood who is only allowed to minister in the outer court for they did not qualify for the highcalling of God because they chose the ways of flesh.
Now in Ezekiel these faithful priests were the sons of Zadok - Melchi-zadok priests.
Quote:
"Here is a good example, by the way, of how the Hebrew word olam means a time whose length is “concealed,” or an indefinite period of time, rather than “forever.” God had given his ancestor Phinehas “ an everlasting priesthood ” (Num. 25:13). If that word had literally meant “everlasting” in the modern sense, then God would have broken His word by removing it from the family of Phinehas and giving it to Zadok in 1 Kings 2:27, 35. (Abiathar was the last high priest of the lineage of Phinehas.)
The transfer of calling from the dynasty of Phinehas to the dynasty of Zadok in the reign of Solomon was a type and shadow of the greater transfer from the Levitical priesthood to that of Melchizedek (Melchi-Zadok). That priesthood was actually older than Levi, for it represented all true believers from the beginning. Shem was the Melchizedek priest in Abraham's day (Gen. 14:18), and David himself was called to the same priesthood (Psalm 110:4). Finally, Jesus was called according to that Order as High Priest (Heb. 5:5, 6)."
"But the priest of the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to me and they shall attend Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood.
They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep my charge.
When they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed in linen garments; no wool shall be on them while they minister at the gates of the inner court and within the temple."
One of the things that I glean from this is that this higher order of ministry is always to the Christ, not just the God that is seen as out there somewhere, but this is a ministry unto the Christ in all men.....not fighting the darkness that may manifest in them, but helping to turn on the light.

Love Believes All Things???
"Charity...believeth all things." King James V.
"Love...is believing all." CCV
"Loves hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything." AMP
"There is nothing that Love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith." NEB
"Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust." PHI
"Always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best." MOF
How is it that Love can believe all things?
Is everything that everyone teaches everywhere, truth? ... Even the atheists which proclaim God to not exist. Is this what this passage is saying?
How I see this is that Love (God) acknowledges everyone wherever they are in their spiritual development. Wherever they are, Love believes in them, loves them at that stage of their development. We are the "things" that Love always believes in "even when we deny Him and are faithless He remains true to His Word and His righteous character for He cannot deny Himself."
Everything is going towards God as all in all...Love just cannot fail or miss the mark and sin, short of Its glory.

The Three Wise Women :-)
What if it had been Three Wise Women??
Do you know what would have happened if it had been three wise women instead of men?
They would have asked directions
Arrived on time
Helped deliver the baby
Cleaned the stable
Made a casserole
And brought practical gifts.
and of course the men would counter with, "Yeah, but do you know what they would say when they left?
"Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that gown?"
"That baby doesn't look anything like Joseph!"
"Can you believe they let all those disgusting animals in there?"
"I heard Joseph isn't even working right now."
"And that donkey they are riding has seen better days too."
"Want to bet how long it will take to get your casserole dish back?"

Oil + Fire = Light
Ray:Like that one...John the Baptist said there was one coming after him who would baptize us with the Holy Ghost AND Fire. What good would the oil do us unless it has been ignited and set aflame....as you said, there is no light without the fire.
Oil is the spirit... The fire (flame) produces the LIGHT. (2 witnesses)
Hallelujah, he not only fills you with his spirit (oil) but he lights our fire !! - divine quickening....and then we are able to let our little light shine.
"The house of Jacob shall be a fire and the house of Joseph (who was given the birthright) a flame, but the house of Esau (man of flesh) shall be stubble, they shall kindle and burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor of the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken it." Obadiah 18
Without Soul, Spirit Just IS
I Am Spirit.......so, I came here to experience it all, IMO....the good, the bad and the ugly.....and having our senses excercised , [excercise is an activity with the intent to achieve something]
So, after being stretched, pummeled, drilled, trained, moved, worked out and worked over, at times in season and at times out of season, sometimes up and sometimes down, I still remain Spirit, but hopefully "my senses", my soul, is more in a position to discern the profane from the w/holy and to be a more compassionate priest because of it. Eze. 44
You see, without Soul, Spirit, just IS.
Without soul to give expression and feeling to spirit, it just Is.
Creation was meant to give God the experience of Himself....so Love could now be Lov-ing....from noun to verb....From state of being to experience of.
And since God is all...all of us expand God's experience of his Being, and since God is the savior of all, especially of those that believe. That group of those-that-believe bunch, the believers or those operating in faith instead of unbelief are creating new worlds and realms of consciousness for all.

We Are The Cause Bringing The Effect
We rule from the heavens....we are the cause that is bringing the effect...hallelujah! We must not doubt that this gathering unto him...this catching up in God that we all are is not having an effect upon and in the consciousness of all creation NOW.....walls ARE COMING DOWN, house-cleaning is going on....the re-structuring and re-direction is underway for all things are being made new....not new things, but all things made new.
Isa. 59 &60
"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear dull with deafness that it cannot hear"
Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you; rise to a new life]! Shine - be radiant with the glory of the Lord; for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness all peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem] and His glory shall be seen on you.
And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Lift you your eyes round about you and see! They shall gather themselves together, they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried and nursed in the arms.
Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and tremble with joy [at the glorious deliverance], and be enlarged; because the abundant wealth of the [Dead] Sea shall be turned to you; unto you shall the nations come with their treasure.
And do you know what that treasure is? "We have this "treasure" in an earthen vessel." The Christ treasure that has lain dead and dormant in creation will be made alive and will enrich us all.
"Ask of Me and I will give you the nations for your inheritance."

The Now...Does That Mean Stopping Time?
The best way I can explain how I see the "Now" and what it means to me, is that it is not an element for stopping time or the past or the future in order to dwell in the present, (although I do see and understand the point that is made concerning that) but it is living in an awareness of our Eternal Presence more than just a description for eliminating time.
Hebrews 1 tells us that "He has spoken to us in the person of a son, whom He appointed heir and lawful owner of all things, also by and through whom He created the worlds and reaches of space and the ages of time - that is He made, produced, built, operated and arranged them in order."
And Heb. 3 says "By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed - fashioned, put in order and equipped for their intended purpose - by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible."
So as I understand it, the ages or eons where designed for the outworking of an intended purpose and as we who "hold that note", the frequency or vibration of Eternal Love, we become those who break the dark glass for all and bring forth the purposes of God into the earth.
Much love,
Karen

The 10 and the 2
I find it interesting too that of the 12 children born to Jacob, there were only 2 that came through Rachel, the wife that he loved.[we are born from above, Mother Jerusalem] The other 10 came through Leah, the wife weak of eye, and through the wives handmaids.
The 10 and the 2 again - the two covenants ie. the 10 commandments or the Law and the words of Jesus in the New that said that all the Law and the commandments hung upon these two things: loving the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.
And these two who were full blood brothers were Joseph and Benjamin.
Joseph's name was prophetic, "God will add another son" and is a type of Jesus.
and
Benjamin, the younger brother, was named Benoni, 'son of my sorrow' by his mother, but called Benjamin, 'son of my right hand', by his father and is a type of the overcomers....those who suffer with him will also reign with him.
Benjamin was also the only son that was the first Israelite....he was born after Jacob wrestled with the angel and had his name changed to Israel, Prince with God.

Night Unto Dawn
Night Unto Dawn
In the flashing of a moment,
In the bursting of the day,
Shall you see the process climaxed
In a most unusual way.
For the Lord prepares the dawning
Through the night so long and cold,
And He dips His brush in blackness,
But He paints in glorious gold.
So be sure no night of waiting
Can be ever spent in vain,
For the cup that's drunk in darkness
Is the cup that makes all plain.
There's an eye that waits with longing
For the morning's shining light,
And you'll see the bursting glory
Was prepared throughout the night.
By Sis. Norene Nicholls, one of our pioneers of the gospel who has passed on to glory. May her words be a comfort and blessing to you as He perfects that which concerneth you.

The following is a prophecy from the late Norene Nicholls:
"A strange and wondrous thing is about to come, for the Lord has spoken to those that will hear, and their ears have been sharpened. There is a gathering of the royal family, and the shepherds of Israel shall become rulers on the thrones. They have stood in desolate places and listened to the low sound of the sheep -- even a little flock in a wilderness place, but now it shall change. The shepherds who have proven their worth in aloneness shall now come forth to be acknowledged of those who would not have Me to reign over them in times past. Behold the thing is at the door. Some have chosen high places for themselves, but others have allowed the Lord to choose for them, and thus have they been separated from their brethren and lost to sight. But now shall events bring forth the deserted ones and show them before kings who are really not kings at all. The scepter of these kings shall be righteousness and the girdle of faithfulness shall be upon their loins. They shall be recognized, not because they are of great stature nor commanding of personality, but they shall be recognized because the Spirit of the Lord is upon them.
"Men shall no longer gather to men, but the men of God shall gather to the establishment of truth where the angels activate the holy ground. There shall strange but wondrous things take place, for instructions from the presence of the Lord shall be heard, and kings shall lift their voices in confidence and courage at the declaration. And, there too, shall be that peculiar anointing reserved for kings come into being; and that anointing shall teach you all things. Then from that pillar of truth shall the kings issue forth to do exploits and turn the aliens back from the shores of the land promised. Be not afraid nor amazed, for the Lord has spoken in verity and truth and shall bring it to pass. No longer shall you stand idly by and wait for another day, but there shall be activity of a new source -- yet activity that is effortless and quiet. You shall slip quietly into palaces and judgment halls and speak a word in season. You shall stand before prelates and counselors, but not one of your words shall fail. You shall see the manifestation of what you have spoken, and men shall shut their mouths nor argue the point. This is a strange work to be done, but it shall come by the decree of God and stand unmovable before heaven and earth. The closing of the day is also the opening of the Day, and to this time have you been called. See to it that you be not discouraged, for you shall stand in the land and turn the enemy from the shores. So it is and shall be" -- end quote.

One Mind
I really believe that there is just one mind, that either functions in the spirit or the flesh......I know the word speaks of being double-minded, but that's a Hagar and Sarah condition, the same kind that Abraham had to deal with when he attempted to father children apart from the spirit. He had children by two different women living in his house....one was by the spirit and one was by the efforts of the flesh. He had to cast out the bond woman and her child, Ishmael in order to have a peaceful home ordered after the spirit.
When we first are enlightened, we are very double minded as we are learning to recognize the voice of spirit from the voice of the flesh and let go of the carnal clutter.....its not a one shot deal.
Eve represents Hagar who receives seed thoughts from the flesh
and
births an Ishamel who cannot inherit the promise
and
Mary (the redeemed Eve) represents Sarah who receives seed thoughts from the spirit and births That Holy Thing, the Son of God.

A Concordant Study of the Word, "Will"
A CONCORDANT STUDY OF THE WORD, "WILL"
(Concordant Literal New Testament)
Perhaps it would be good to make a concordant study of the word, "WILL" as it has been rendered in the Greek by three different words. Often seeing how these words are used in the Greek, will give us a greater understanding of their true meaning. We will notice a slightly different shade of meaning in each word which cannot be expressed in English by our one word, "WILL".
1. THELO, a meaning to form a decision, choice, purpose or wish. We find a good example in Mark 1:40. "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean." And Jesus saith unto him, "I WILL, be thou clean." Again in his prayer in the garden. "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thous WILT." Matt. 26:39. In these instances Jesus was making a decision or choice, and acted it out immediately.
2. THELEMA, meaning the PROCESS by which the subject, effect, result of a decision, choice or purpose is FINALLY attained. This mostly speaking of GOD'S WILL as in the Lord's Prayer: "Thy WILL be done in earth as it is in heaven." A process. It also speaks of the "good pleasure of his will, the "mystery of his will", or the "counsel of his will." These were all determined before the foundation of the world, and are slowly coming into effect (in the earth) gradually throughout the ages.
3. BOULEMA, meaning the FINAL effect, result or goal of any counsel, which anyone has determined before and had in their own minds. This word has been rendered, "INTENTION", in the CCV (Concordant Version). We find a good example of this word in Act. 27:43, regarding Paul's shipwreck. "Now came the soldiers' counsel that they would kill the prisoners, lest anyone swimming out, may flee away. Yet the centurion INTENDING to bring Paul safely through, prevents them from their INTENTION."
Iin the KJV, INTENDING AND INTENTION have been rendered WILLING AND PURPOSE. This in my mind does not give the true meaning, as the soldiers had taken counsel, coming to the INTENTION of killing all the prisoners including Paul. But even so the centurion INTENDING to save Paul had also come to his final INTENTION. Therefore he hindered the INTENTION of the soldiers. As their INTENTION was only of man it could be stopped, but GOD'S INTENTION cannot be thwarted, otherwise, he would not be sovereign. Thus we read in the CCV, "Who hath withstood his INTENTION? No one has ever resisted the INTENTION, but many (if not us all) have at one time or another resisted his REVEALED WILL. This is confirmed in many scriptures:
"Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves judgment (correction). Rom. 12L2.
"So do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the truth." 2 Tim. 3:8.
"And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life." John 5:40.
