It is all about what we think!
Theologians give much homage to
the Holy Trinity, especially Jesus and the Holy Spirit, but neglect the Mind of
God. The Body of God is material substance, or Jesus, and the Spirit of God the
non-material substance of God, but what is His Mind?
The Mind of God always existed
and was there before the foundation of anything, according to “In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). The “beginning” is literally rank
one from the Hebrew, or the first order of things. Following rank
comes order; the English version calls the order ‘days.’
In that there was no order before,
but afterwards there was, order means that there was a Supreme Intelligence
that resulted in order since for all effects there must be a cause.
Science dismisses the physics by saying
that the Big Bang was a ‘discontinuity;’ that it disobeyed the orders. Whose
orders? are not said because science investigates things that are sensed either
by man or instruments. The problem with science is that it neglects God even
though ‘god’ is in the ‘god equation’ — E=mc2 — noting that Energy
taken from the speed of light squared is the cause and ‘mass’ the effect.
Essentially, evolutionary science
is ‘alchemy,’ something from nothing, or an effect without a cause.
Early scientists scoffed at that idea.
Because there was nothing at
first, then there was order, means something organized things, but before there
were order, there must have been things to order.
Rank one was time (the beginning
as the starting point), heaven (space), and earth (matter). At the start, God
created space and then added atomic components that became matter. Since this
commentary is not about creation, but Mind, for the moment, the creation processes
will not be discussed. The point is that there was a scientific process in the
creation, or generation, of things. Time measured processes then as it does
now. Even such common processes as cooking a meal involves time and is itself a
process.
English translators called time, ‘days.’
It is written, “And in process of time it came to pass…” yada, yada, yada. (Gen
4:3). The root word for Hebrew ‘process’ is ‘to cut asunder.’ Asunder what?
Time and ‘hotness’
Einstein is still the synonym for
brilliance. He finally realized the truth; that there is no effect
without a cause. He was wise enough to give credit to God but only for the
cause. He never gave God the credit for either the effect nor the affect! Michao
Kaku, the most renowned astrophysicist today, made the same deduction because
for all things there must be a cause. Different religions call the ‘Cause’ by
different names, but the “Cause” named ‘Itself’ a very significant name, ‘Ya
Preserves’ which is the meaning of the Name, ‘Jesus.’
So not only does the True God Create,
He preserves as well. Preserving is a technique for maintaining
processes.
For instance, maintaining a car
extends its life. Genesis 1-2 is about creating all things and the rest
of the Bible is about preserving them. Intermingled among those things
is saving, or regenerating, the things that were made. All that takes much
thought and planning. The Big Bang was not God’s ‘First Thought’ but the ‘first
order’ of His Plan for us.
Whether the Big Bang was Higgs
Boson or not can never be proven beyond a doubt, but it indeed was God’s Glorious
Thought that caused the heavens and the Earth, or things unseen and things
seen. The Cosmos is the latter, but science ignores things beyond the Cosmos. It
was revealed to Enoch that the Holy Thing beyond the Cosmos and the Tenth
Heaven was God and that God is ‘Light’ (2 Enoch).
John wrote, “This then is the
message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is Light,
and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).
Phosphorus, of course, emits
light, but that is a synonym for ‘Lucifer.’ In the Greek, the Light of God would
be ‘Theophos,’ combining ‘God’ with ‘Light.”
The Greek word, ‘phos’
means different things; among them are, “that which is exposed to the view of
all, openly, publicly;” and secondly, “reason, mind” (ibid). That God is
‘Light,” therefore means that He has a brilliant Mind; one with reason.
Reason is “the power of
comprehending, inferring, or thinking especially, in orderly rational ways —
INTELLIGENCE”
Therefore, mythology is thinking
irrationally and theology rational thought because logically, “I think,
therefore I am” (Rene’ Discartes).
Because there was a plan, or process,
a grand one at that, by God, God is the ‘I AM’ (Exod 3-14) because He revealed
His Thoughts, or Light (Gen 1:3) at the beginning of the Creation.
(If you have failed to notice,
the first two chapters of Genesis reveal an orderly process that makes
sense. It is a very rational account of generating all things from the Thoughts
of God. It corresponds very well with quantum theory that can be studied in my
book, Adoil Come Down: Arkhas Came Undone.)
Christians are most familiar with
the material Substance of God, called ‘Jesus.’ He was not created but came To
Be, another way of saying ‘I AM.’ John revealed Jesus as the ‘Word’ of scripture.
The Hebrew root verb, ‘Dabar’ (the ‘Word’), means “to arrange.”
The Word is what Jesus Thought
before He was made flesh. Before Jesus came, He was the Mind of God and His
Thoughts the plan that was operationalized, according to John 1.
God, the ‘Mind” said to mankind:
7
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let
him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He
will abundantly pardon. 8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways,” saith the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens
are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My
thoughts than your thoughts. (Isa 55:7-9)
Because mankind is just a partial
image of God, then we are not God, and our thoughts are much less than God’s. Our
thoughts are just a shadow, or remnant, of God’s Thoughts, and is much of our
thinking since sin entered into our minds.
That extraterrestrial thought is ‘darkness.’
What was Eve’s thought after
sinning? She revealed it to Adam… “I have gotten a man” (Gen 4:1); not Adam had
begotten, nor even God… she had! And it was not even an ‘Adam’ man, but a ‘whososever’
— an extant being, or another kind of existence
Its name was Cain (Quyan).
It was another ‘people,’ (‘wanderer’), or kind, that Eve thought that
she had made. She thought that she was a god and had the power to
create. She thought wrongly! Eve used her faculty of thought to deceive Adam,
making him think that the child was his from the Lord, failing to mention that
she did the will of another being, and that ‘it’ was her new ‘lord.’
The point therein is that our
thoughts are what betrays us being of Cain and of the Wicked One. We think
differently than God planned for us to think.
Adam and his kind were to be homo
sapiens, both upright and wise men. Rather, our image with sin — our natures
— became cunning and creeping like the ‘Beast.’
Eve’s first act was conceiving a creature
on her own, and rather than turning to God, she did so herself, with Adam watching;
he ‘knew” her. He knew from whom Cain really came!
Cain was of the Wicked One (1
John 3:12) but Eve pretended that Cain was of Adam and God. Pretending did
not change the truth. Adam had been deceived again, and like before, he
was surely aware of it!
Us human beings now think of
ourselves as humane and children of God. Many carelessly say, “We are all God’s
children.” That is our thoughts, but it is a fantasy that has existed since the
birth of Cain.
The ‘father’ of all is the ‘Devil’
(John 8:44); not that the Devil impregnated our mothers, but that the Devil ‘Serpent’
is our progenitor, and it is “the lusts of your father you will do.” We think
like the Devil because our genes are his genes. The ‘Serpent’ is the archetype
of everyone, the ‘first form.’
David admitted that he himself was
“shapen in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). He was born depraved and so is everyone
else. Our thoughts are the lusts of our genetic father, the Devil.
In the Greek, ‘lusts’ are epithyma
— cravings.
14
Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is
finished, bringeth forth death. (Jas 1:14-15)
Hence, lust is to think out your
damnation. Enticement is the cause and sin the effect. It is the law of Satan
that we do if we think on things of the flesh (lusts).
Sinners think as the Serpent
thinks rather than God. Our thoughts are not God’s Thoughts, but like the
Wicked One’s. Since it is from that original process of degeneration (‘original
sin’) our thoughts are genetic. Why can we not change our thoughts? Because
lusts instinctual (genetic) like the beasts, and the image of mankind is brutish
like the original ‘Beast.’
That is how our minds work, but
how can they be fixed? Our thoughts must be the Thoughts of God, or as nearly
so as possible.
Salvation is not of the water but
of Thoughts. Our thoughts are the ‘waters’ that are soterial. Just as
the Spirit of God can neither be seen nor measure, neither can His Thoughts. Paul
referred to things seen as evidence of things unseen when he wrote
to the Romans. The Thoughts of God are as unknown to lost men as His Spirit.
How to know the Thoughts of
God. Know the ‘Word’ of God. Not only does the Word persuade the lost to become
Christians, like Jesus did for Pilate, the centurion, and the repentant thief,
but that works for us as well. How did God persuade them? He revealed Himself
in all His Substances during the crucifixion.
They heard Jesus ask an unseen
Being why He had forsaken Him, and then he showed them the Spirit of God that
was leaving Him. He convinced them that He was who He said He was. There was no
baptism, there was no work done by others, and there was no devil there to
deceive them (He was away in Judas.) There, the thoughts of some of them became
the Thoughts of God. God was challenging their minds. They did nothing but think.
Pilate was the first to think,
being Platonian, and quickly his thoughts harmonized with who Jesus thought
Himself TO BE.
The thief was nailed and could
not move. The only thing that he could do was think — katergazomai. His
mind became one with Jesus!
The centurion made sure that
Jesus was dead. He, however, did not kill Jesus. He only saw Jesus at peace, as
if only asleep, and he was persuaded that Jesus was who he said He was!
The point in this entire
commentary is it is not what we do, but what we think. We must
think things that harmonized with the Word in scripture.
I have noticed something that
makes much sense — the more I am in the Word, the less lustful thoughts that I
have.
If I study in the morning, during
the day, I consider the things of God and all the while my mind is on Him, then
it is not on me! Thereafter the less I think of the things of the flesh (lusts)
the less I sin. Since my flesh is still of the Wicked One, it is still his will
that my flesh desires to do. Our flesh is the weakness of man, as Paul wrote, but
the Spirit is willing.
The human will is the basis, or
faculty, of thought. We were endowed with ‘free will’ to do whatever it is that
we want to do. Preservation is a change of nature; to consider the Will of God
and harmonize with His Thoughts; to be like Jesus, and our genes like the Image
of God — Jesus.
Now think on these things. If you
come to understand that you cannot save
yourself, but Jesus can, and trust Him to do that; then you shall be saved.
ON THOUGHTS OF GOD AND OF DEMONS:
Several hours have gone by. I
could not shut off the thoughts of God, so now I am back!
Adam was made in the Image of
God. His ‘Image’ was the Mind of God because it is presumed that the breath
that He blew into Adam was His Spirit. Foremost, people are primarily mind;
they are ‘sapiens.’
Most people think all the time, even when asleep.
When the mind shuts down, cognition (thinking) ceases. Death is when the
mind stops,, but spiritually, when man’s mind ceases to be the Mind of God.
That occurred with original sin. Both the male and the female of the species of
Adam no longer thought the Thoughts of God, but the thoughts of the Serpent
which they perceived as their own thoughts.
Thus, God’s Thoughts are higher
than our thoughts, speaking of the lost.
Calvary is not ‘calvariae
locus’ (Latin) for nothing. It is not the ‘place of the skull’ but
literally the ‘the shield for the center of activity’ as Mr. Webster would have
it. Calvary was the ‘Shield;’ no wonder the name Abraham means ‘The Shield.” It
was the gens of Abraham, in his bosom, that was the Shield until Cavalry
came along. That points toward the Mind as the center of activity, and its
Power, the Holy Ghost.
The ‘virtue’ that left Jesus when
he healed was dynamos in the Greek. It was the Power of the Mind of
Jesus and when He thought, it happened. When Christians pray, their mind shares
virtue and their Spirit is virtuous, or dynamic, as well.
Now for demons. Since our
thoughts are not the Thoughts of God and the dynamics of God is Thought, then
are soul has a Spirit within and a mind of one of two kinds: good or evil.
Since Yahweh is mind, and
filled with the Spirit, is with the Thoughts of God, then ‘in Christ’ is with
the Thoughts of God. Therefore, demon possession is not necessarily the spirit
of demons in mankind but the thoughts of demons (i.e., demonic dynamics or evil
thoughts.)
Angels are messengers that transmit
thoughts from one being or another to mankind. Thoughts in the Greek is ‘dialogismos.’
That is merely having discussions with
yourselves, not between people, necessarily, but inaudible self-talk.
Basically, thinking is an
individual reasoning with himself! Our genetic disposition from original sin
short-circuits rational thought, perhaps asking, Is this sin worth dying for?
Then the mind argues, Yes it is, and voila, lust begets sin,
meaning that it is the mind that sins, not the body which only complies with
thought.
Since God is Mind, then so is
Lucifer. His mind is evil, even serpent-like. How does Lucifer get into you? Through
your mind.
How did Satan enter Judas? For
the love of money. He got into Judas via his mind. Thereafter, the mind
of Judas belonged to Satan and then the mind of Judas killed his person. Was it
guilt, or was it demon possession? Scripture indicates that Judas was
possessed.
So, when it is said, “That man
has his demons,” it does not mean that there is an evil spirit in him, ala Satan
in Judas, but the thoughts of demons transmitted unto his mind.
Demons are evil messengers from
another realm. They can be only one place at a time. There are a limited number
of dark angels, so how would they move about among so many sinners? By messages
transmitted by their minds. Angels are not confined such as we are. Our tongue
confines mankind but angels speak the language of God — Thoughts.
Just as God speaks to mankind in
their thoughts, so do demons. Just as ‘in Christ’ is ‘in the Word,’ demon
possession is thinking evil thoughts.
When God speaks, it is a Divine
Spark. The ‘God Particle’ is transmitted from another realm to here. The
particle is not a material particle but Light. Thoughts may be a continuous array
of Virtue from God to mankind which can be received by all who would hear. To hear
means listening, and God cannot be heard if the mind is shut off or
pre-occupied.
The concept of a divine spark is
not necessarily Gnosticism. Why do people think certain thoughts. Call it what
you like, but God inspires people by accessing the mind. When God calls, or ‘knocks,’
as it says, that knocking is not a sound but a spark from God. That “Spark”
is a convincing perception of the truth.
Pilate got the Divine Spark when
he realized that Jesus was who He said He was. Immediately, Pilate sought baptism.
Apparently not trusting the priests, like many 17th century Baptists,
he baptized himself by pouring water onto his hands, representing the cleansing
of his flesh. Yes, priests baptized; there was a molten sea in the Temple for
ritual cleansing. That is baptism!
The Divine Spark is God calling.
Our minds intercept the Thoughts of God that is relayed to all who would hear
it.
The ‘Sublime Spark’ (my words) is
a sudden evil inclination. She’s there and beautiful; why not lust? Then
our mind has a discussion with itself and decides to go ahead and lust; then lust
leads to sin because the body only obeys the mind. That is why the sin of
adultery is in the heart (Mat 5:28), or better said, “the mind.”
Demon possession may or may not
be how it is thought to be. Demons get into mankind through our minds. It is
not that some evil substance gets unto us, but that the mind of Satan
interferes with the transmissions of God. Of course, the ‘Transmitter’ is God Himself,
but it is His Thoughts that are in the Word, Jesus — the ‘Angel of God’ and the
Messenger of God’s Thoughts.
Thus, having demons is coexisting
with good thoughts and evil thoughts (symbiosis). Our minds are not on evil all
the time because, although depraved, sinners are not totally depraved like the
hybrid beings of the days of Noah.
Paranoia is essentially constant self-discussion which alternates between, Are they out to get me? and, No they are not. That by itself kills the soul of the person because, as they perceive it, God cannot be trusted because they think that their demons are for real!
Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell. (Mat 10:28)
Demons can kill the soul. They
destroy the mind, and the mind suffocates the soul to death. Those with demon possession
cannot shut off destructive thoughts while those who are possessed by God
cannot get Thoughts of God out of their minds. The best way to solve that inner
conflict is to disregard the evil thoughts within the mind and focus on the truth
and how the death of Jesus shielded it on Calvary from evil alien (to God) thoughts.
Christians feel safe because they
trust God to come through. Trust is cognition. Given the choice of whether to
doubt or believe, the mind dispels doubt and focuses on belief. Those of great
faith have little doubt because they think rationally… those demons in their
mind might destroy their flesh, but they are unable to destroy the soul.
Whereas most focus their thinking
on their bodies, those with utmost fear focus on the destruction of the soul.
Like it or not, the fear of God is greater than the fear of demons because God
has the power to make you “die, die” as the words “surely die” mean literally.
Those out to get your mind can
kill the body (die), but God can kill the body and soul (die, die). So, why are
people so afraid to die? Because they do not trust the inspired Words of God.
The solution to the demons in your mind is simply to trust God in all things.
Calvary was the ‘shield’ over the
mind. Those who trust Jesus have a Divine Shield, called the ‘Shield of Faith’
(Ephes 6:16) which is part of the ‘whole armor of God.’ The ‘helmet’ of
salvation is dependence on Jesus Himself who had no sin, however, he died on
your behalf. He died, died for you; both His Flesh and Spirit were
removed from the world for a time!
Your inner person — your mind —
does not really fear its adversaries or even demons. It fears God. Those who
are paranoid do not fear dying so much as being dead, dead in both body and spirit;
so afraid that they will no longer exist but become only a soul lost in Hell.
My point is to get the mind right
and fear will be allayed. Nobody will be out to get you, not even your own
mind. Why? Because God protects the mind from the knowledge of evil.
Adam was not afraid of God until
he knew evil. Never communicate with your demons; never listen to their
thoughts or you’ll be gone with them.
How do demons appear in this
realm? In your mind and in the mind of others. Some know they have demons within
because of their evil thoughts, and they are not comfortable in the world until
you share their demons, perhaps to take part of the load off their minds.
Demon possession is real, but
science prefers to call it other things. They don’t want to be perceived as fools,
so they just accept as truth that demons do not exist all the while facing people
with demonic thoughts nearly every day. Is it really paranoia or schizophrenia
or is it demons that are in people?
