Hummm . . . Edwin,

I beg your indulgence, as this may be somewhat lengthy, although I thank for your honesty and for stimulating the Inward Spirit.  Therefore I will share, as I am able, with you my spiritual journey and such revelations of Spirit I have received.  Which has since been the Changing and Transforming Light that has Inspired my heart, my  mind, and filled my very Life,even in this world of shadows, with Joy!  For I SEE.  Amen 

For though I have been inspired and have drawn upon the Light of many Spirited works, ancient and modern, it has never been my intention to preach, as of a sermon.  It has only been my wish to share freely, what has been freely  given unto me, intuitively, to Understand.  I represent no particular, creed or tradition, nor denomination, though I am a Christ-Man, accepting all the names of and for God known and unknown, for His only name in the world is represented in Peace and Love.  The Christian Bible is my first Love but Love all of Gods various bibicial works, no matter the tradition, if they teach of Peace the Father and Love the Son.   

Therefore though I read books,  I hear the Spirit of my brothers residing in such books so full of Spirit.  Thus by such Spiritual Understanding, does God give anyone - so called to hear - the authority of Spirit.   Therefore by such understanding are the true men or seekers  given the Keys to His Divine Mysteries (Subjective, Intuitive).  Thus are they  privy to Gods wisdom, embodied in the Spiritual Riddles or Formulas.  Such parables have been given to sift out the profane and are thus reserved for the true seekers, the true men of God.  For wide is the road and narrow is the Gate, and there be few that enter in    

Spiritual, is not of "things," such as have names in the literal world of men.  Spiritual will ever remain a riddle to such men; to the mortal mind, the brainy grey matter worldly men erroneously call the mind.   Such men will ever consider them a foolishness, for they transcend mere words..  Never for a moment will the personality; the Pretender accept that there is something greater than itself.  The  Mind of Spirit alone is the Consciousness, Reality, transcending, the ignorance or darkness of worldly men.

Therefore there are no proofs of such "Spirituality," worldly Men could accept, though they ever cry out for proofs of God, how could they receive it their minds have been closed by dogmatism since day one, of their births.  Even if one should raise those literally dead, yet they would not believe,  The walking dead are those yet ignorant of God within.

God need not prove Himself to any man.  It is men who must prove thrmselves to God, yet few can hear Intuitively or preceive Subjectively, so caught up in an objective physical world.  Yet God is ever evident, by all "things" objective or material..  Indeed His  "proofs" are all around evident in all that is and is not. 

Therefore it is by my God given Understanding, that I may search the deeper mystery of God that  I might preceive and hear as I am able the inspirited voices of all such works, Spiritual things are Spiritually descerned, not as of men of the world who are blind to anything beyond the mere, but demanding senses of the world.  It is therefore I am never offended of worldly judgements nor the profane guffaws of Parrots, nor of death itself, for indeed I have already been there and even it is a lie.  Life is Everlasting in God alone and God is indeed the All.

Heh, Heh yet even after all the former, it couldn't have been better expressed but by our beloved brother Paul, to him I indeed acquiesce (let them hear it who can), though we choose not drag, copy and drop nor proudly pound our chest that we know the numbers of Chapters and verses, as do the profane.  Athough we will encourage you to look up the following; take time each day to "ponder and listen" a little at a time; continue to think about it during your day, (this is the work and the Journey to and of the Intuitive Mind). And may you be received in the Spirit of his words so Godly inspired:  - I Cor. 2:10-16.   For it is thus we are fulfilled in God in the knowinhg.  Amen      

. . . and to continue . . .Indeed the material world is another dimension; the realm of Illusion, for all things that end are but a dream, it is the valley of the shadow of death, an ending.  Yet it is also the beginning; an awakening to the reality of the Everlastingness of Life.   The body is the shadow; which is but the container of the true Light, LIFE, SPIRIT = GOD.

To be truly Human is to be Divine.  to be truly Human is to be Spiritually Strong. The expression to be "Humane" describes this Divinity most beautifully, most simply and clearly.  If one is not Humane, one is not Human, just simply the "man" kind of animal without grace.  Yet the worst, for he is the only animal that has been given freewill.   It is thus lessor beings, true animals, are perfect and full of grace, for they can do no wrong.

 To be truly Human is to have a "Conscience" and to act upon it, for this is the inner voice of the Spirit; the True Self not the pretender; the ego of personality..  No Conscience, no Humanity, it isn't human.  The word "Humanity" refers to the Greater Spiritualized body of mankind as a whole.  .Just as the "Celestial" Universe is the Spiritual aspect of the Cosmic or manifest Universe. 

The Human aspect of man is only limited by his ignorance of God within, which demon-strates ones lack of Human-ness, which is Impiety.  Let them receive it who can, let them hear it who can, now in this time and in this place wherein the shadoows seek for Light, that the mystery of God may be made plain. Amen.

I Q is a measurement of the world; the world of men.  It falls very neetly into the catagory of "the doctrines and commandments of men" and the world.  Godly consciousness transcends such menial Objective conceptions, for it is Subjectve guided by an Intuitive Mind which is the Mind of Spirit.  This is the Mystery of God that transcends worldy measures,.therefore we may fathom or Know Him personally in depth.  God Bless your question. 

Indeed, Benthere, for Spirit is Life, Life is the very Presence of God, whether realized or not.  The Spirit is His ever present Power; His Divine Will, freely given to  man, reflected in man in understanding or by his ignorance.  Indeed, God has given His children all power by thought, focused or idle.  The wayward,  possessed, haunted by the ego of personality, the pretender, this is Hell.  They have yet to come to the realization of this Divine Awareness found only with.  Let them receive it who can.  Amen 

It is the direct reflection of of ones own thought processes.  Man has all power by reason of Gods gift of Freewill.  Thus man creates his own fate and destiny, in all times and places.  By this gift does he generates his own influences, as he responds to any worldly or outward influences which are excerted upon him.  Joy or sorrow will reflect his understanding of the magnamus loving gift.  It is after all the power to create.   

All "things" end, even the universe of all universes, thus all material worlds, but Life Goes on, for Life is Spirit, Spirit is God.  God is the very presence of Life; thus so also is Life  Everlasting!   Therefore be of Good Cheer you are Everlasting Beings in God :-)  

An "Idea" in the mind of God.

Simple "definitions" of words or names, in a literal material world, are more or less literal or exoteric, whereas the "Spiritual or esoteric meaning' of a word, in this particular case, might be more appropriate.

Therefore regarding "Jesus," such views will depend upon ones level of consciousness; or understanding; where one is on the holy path, knowledge or understanding.  Jesus brought men the knowledge of Christ in his time.  Now in this present time men must be open to receive "Christ's gift of understanding.   Thus understanding, Jesus  means "Chosen;"  Christ means "Anointed" (fulfilled in The Spirit of Love)  By ones understanding, may one receive the Love Spirit.  Thus is one alinged with Jesus as a Brother chosen to understand the living Christ within as Lord.  Lord means "Law" these words are interchangable, therefore, Christ is the Lord, means Love is the Law. 

Fundamentally Knowledge without this understanding, one knows and sees literially a man of flesh, our brother Jesus, the son-of-man as God.  They have yet to understand Christ as the Living Spirit of Love within Him.  When received of this inward Understanding,  this is the awakening within one of "Love Conscious," the Presence of the living (activity) Christ, the Son-of God.  Let them hear it and receive it all who who can, now in this time and in this place.  Amen 

I would here like to add further thoughts upon my former comment, regarding ones circumstances and/or situations.  These are not caused other persons, but by ones own inner thought processes, which have attracted such persons into ones life.  The Greater Power of the worldly group consciousness, not withstanding, for we are here addressing “the individual,” only.

 For oft we find ourselves blaming others or the world for our unhappiness or situations, yet the key to change lies within our selves.  For what is in us is magnetic ever attracting its like, for the like is ever attracted unto its like.

 For Natural Law, Natures Laws are the perfection of Gods Laws, these laws were given or placed in mans “creative hands.”  All the laws of man from the beginning have in turn evolved from these first.  Although this when Inspired by Spirit through the Conscious Mind (Self-Awareness), is the Spiritual Intent in men to It’s the higher application, for the benefit of the all world.  Animals have not but the One Mind of Nature while men have both; Conscious and Subconscious Mind, the Consciousness being the Programmer, by thought, the Subconscious being the application, reflected in circumstances or conditions.

 Natural Law, the Mind of Nature perfect sets the magnetic pattern which is the cause; which can be seen in the Herding or Schooling and the conflicts of most all the Species of our Elemental Friends.  Thus Animals are the perfection of Gods Laws for even in the brutality they do not break them, they fulfill them; they are perfect.  These same laws are in men, but by the Inspirited Conscious Mind man may over come the brutality of his baser Nature; this is the Great Work.  

 The finally: Ones thoughts are as of herds, schools or flocks, gathering to one another, whether, positive or negative, good or evil they ever gather more of their like; worry begets more worry, anxiety more of the same etc and etc.   Even the quality of ones friends are a reflection of this, unbending, natural law, for they are ever a reflection of what is in one.  Thus they reflect our needs and our glories, our sorrows or joys.  For like or circumstances, they tell us what is in us.  These things these laws can be the measure for our own personal works.

 Thank you for your indulgence my friends and as always, let them that are able hear it, “who” can.  Amen                

One must ever seek for the Good, in spite of the chaos, for it is around us all, in this "Plane of existence," the lowest realm of all the realms and dimensions.  There is none deeper, this is the realm of the shadows; it is Hell .   "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall see no evil."Yet it is the greatest for in it only in and through its trials may the consciousness of God be found, not without but within, this is Light of this world.

This is the only realm wherein the great strides, may be made toward this Holy Conciousness.  Its is ever present to and in our awareness of the Good, this is the seeking and the journey.   This is God's image in the world of men, his image and shape is what is Good and holy and just and virtous and fair and last but not least, forgiving..   For only by forgiving may one realize the former; awareness of God within.

Jesus spake from the very cross, "Father forgive them they know not what they do."   For they were in ignorance having not the visage of God or the Good in their hearts.  Can we who love and seek the truth of this do less.   The trials, troubles and sorrows will soon begin to fade in the light of this understanding.  God Bless and Amen, I say unto you.
