I
read an article by a man who is also a believer, KNOWER, of Who and What
we are, our True Identity. So I added his words to my words. There are a
couple of things that we are on different pages about, BUT, on one thing
we both agree, our True I dentity.
What could we have been ~ were it not for our ignorance
pertaining to what
manner of beings we are ~ and our 'ego's? God could not have made us in
His
mage and likeness ~ without giving us an ego! For He gave being to us by
becoming us! Each of us is God individualized ! We are miniscule, like
as in school, we
manifest more of Him who is ALL and IN ALL , as we pass from grade to
grade. Like children, learning more and more of our True Identity.
Not only is He the 'sole' presence in the Universe ~ He is also 'our'
reality, He is us, we are Him! ( As well as the reality of every other
'thing' in the Universe!)
And we read in Isaiah 42-8 ~ "I" am the Lord. (Lord=, Eloheim=plural
God, the same meaning for the word "God" in Genesis chapter 1) That is
my name ~ and my glory
will I not give to another ~ neither my praise to graven images'! Our
God ~
is a jealous God! For in reality ~ there is NO ONE ELSE! This is
emphasized
in Exodus 34-14 ~ 'for thou shalt worship no other god ~ for the Lord
whose
name is jealous ~ is a jealous God'! When He brought us forth, out of
Himself, in His image and likeness ~ He shared His 'ego' with us! Not
only with 'us' so called 'human
beings' ~ but with every other living 'thing' He 'became'!
In chapter 3 in the book of Jasher we read where Enoch taught the
"children of God" the way in which they should go and the work which
they must accomplish in order to enter into the ways of God'! .And for
two hundred and 40 years he taught them the ways of God ~ followed by
several hundred more years of like instruction by His son Methuselah.
Then an Angel of the Lord called Him to heaven ~ 'that He should reign
over the sons of God in heaven
as He had reigned over the sons of men on Earth'! But in the latter days
of Methuselah they rebelled against what Enoch and Methuselah had taught
them ~and robbed and plundered each other, and corrupted their ways. And
all because of their 'ego's' ~ their 'me first' mentality! .But also,
this was all for the lessons they, like us, had to experience in or to
BE Who we truely are. It was during the Life of Enoch and His son
Methuselah that there was Peace on Earth..
Enoch was the seventh (?) generation from Adam! What if His followers
had carried on teaching the ways of God as did he and His son
Methuselah? It was what Enoch taught ~ that Jesus taught! 'Man' is God
individualized ~ God embodied ~ but the World failed to get the message!
Why ~ because 'Jesus' message ~ was not what the 'religious' elite of
the day wanted 'their followers to hear! Other wise ~ they could no
longer count on their 'followers' to cater to 'their' needs and desires!
(They could not keep 'enlightened' people enslaved!) They were driven by
their ego's! Is it any different today? (I know that this is not true of
every Minister ~ but they dare not stray from their ancestral
teachings!) Those that do are looked
upon as heretics! But, as I said, we must keep in mind that this is
GOD'S PLAN. He knew every move we would make; every lesson we must
experience; every hard time we must learn to indure, in order to
manifest our True Identity--Elohiem, God.
Adam's protégé were not aware of the fact that man and God were one.
(none of us did, until NOW) They no doubt believed in God ~ but thought
that God simply worked 'through' them.Because this is what we were
taught to believe, by religion. Religion has been fearful of being
called a heretic. AND FEAR IS NOT OF GOD!
They were oblivious of the fact that Enoch knew that he and God were
One!. In like manner the religious of the day thought that it was God
who 'used' Moses to free His people from enslavement from the Egyptians.
They thought it was God speaking through 'Moses' when he commanded the
waters to part in the Red Sea. It never dawned upon them that 'Moses'
knew that the I Am within him ( and every one else) was God ! (Read
Exodus 34-through 35) He
had the same problem "Jesus", Who was God, had ~ He could not get His
people to see that
they too were children of the Most High! (children=being the level of
understanding that they were in). God is not a "children". Neither is He
our "Father", for His understanding is COMPETE. He is God. He is Spirit.
The only place He is "Father" is in this physical realm. We cannot see
our True Identity, as God, and be a child also. The more we awaken, the
more we realize this truth.
(Read Exodus 33-11) Joshua witnessed 'Moses' talking to the Spirit of
God ~ (to
himself) Which all of us do when we awaken and find that the Spirit of
God, is God. God is a Spirit, as are we and there is only one God, so
BEING that Spirit, we are what and who God is. No doubt it
was through his faith or his level of faith, at that time, in the
indwelling power of the Spirit of God that enabled him (Joshua) to drive
the unbelievers out of the promised land! This is what awakening is
doing within us, level by level, realm by realm. As a flesh and blood
being, this is what is happening "grade by grade", awakening and
awakening to the depth of awakening.
And Elijah also walked 'with' God ~ (as God). And the people of Jesus
day did not realize that they were talking to God when they were
speaking to Jesus.either. All they could see was the man they knew as
being "Jesus' of Nazareth!" So too is it with whoever walks As God!
People ~ cannot 'see' God ~ they can only see the
'person' they 'know'! Or the person that they THINK they know. For
virtually every individual on Earth believes they have being as the
person their parents created when they named them at their birth. But
God is the "I" within every one ~ the reality of every one!
Virtually every Christian on Earth ~ as well as every
Buddhist ~ Muslim ~Sikh or other seeker of Spiritual enlightenment ~
seeks to be 'filled' with the 'Holy Spirit'! But virtually every one
believes they are nothing more than a mortal 'man'! And that it is
blasphemy to even dare to 'think' you could be God! But Jesus saw that
it was not 'robbery' to be equal with God ~ for He KNEW that God was the
reality of every 'man / woman' on Earth!. He KNEW that we were ALL One ~
and that God, was that One! And it was His most avid prayer that we
might ALL come to that realization! (Read St. John 17) If God be the
Vine and each of us a 'branch'
(St. John 15) ~ why is everyone so reluctant to acknowledge Him as being
their reality? A branch of a tree comes from, and is what, the tree.
Because it means the death of their ego ~ 'their outer self', this
flesh and blood being that they and most of us dare not admit our True
Identity. For "man" loves darkness rather than light! To acknowledge Him
as being their reality requires the crucifixion of the "self" ~ the "ego
of flesh man"! For ~ who ever should choose to BE HIM, their True
Identity~ must deny their "self" ~ and "take up their cross (the cross
is a sword, upside down) and walk AS HIM'! For ONLY as we walk AS Him ~
can we BE Him!
And only AS Him , God, and as a Creator, can we attain the
transfiguration and the ascension! We must KNOW Who we are, to ascend to
the next dimension, the next step in our journey of learning and
experiencing, in order to come to the place of being all knowing, which
this knowing IS WITHIN US.
It is HE ~ that is the "I" within us! It is not a case of "us' becoming
Him". It's a case of realizing that HE IS US! There is no one else! No
'man' (male or female) has any 'being' apart from Him ~ or other than
Him! All that we require ~ is FAITH in this realization! UNWAVERING
FAITH! We are ALL ONE ~ and HE ~ the "I" within us ~ is that One!
He KNEW, (the man Jesus) that we were ALL One , why else would He have
said (Matthew 16-24) , "If any man will come after me let him (any man)
deny himself and take up his cross and follow me"?
Once a person awakens to THIS TRUTH, it is then that we
wonder, " I know all, now, about the flesh realm, so what's my next step
of learning?" It is here that most start the continuing of the
journey. And I am sure that most start out like the part we just left,
saying, "oh my can this be true? Us as Creators roaming the next
dimension of our journey, not on earth, but in "the heavens".?
to be continued.
