Transcending the Ego.

1296 Words : Posted 06.03.09

Transcending the ego is a number one priority for a person to attain the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/ultimate-goal.html">ultimate goal</a>. The <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Bhagavad Gita">Bhagavad-Gita</a> directly points to identifying the doer-ship of the ego and transcending it. The Buddha's words in The Dhammapada, teach the same concept regarding the ego, transcending - taught by attaining "Nirvana" which is the state of Pure Consciousness. Very few humans have attained this state of Pure Consciousness. Within the Hebrew Scriptures, the concept of the ego is taught, although it is taught in the way of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/humility-action-of-lowering-oneself.html">humility</a>, through stories - an example such as <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/lessons-of-king-saul.html">King Saul</a> - ego driven arrogance, next to <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/lessons-of-king-david.html">King David</a> - humility, a <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/heart-of-man.html">circumcised heart</a>. The ego plays three themes in life. The "Me" number one, the feeling "special" concept. Control, the ego thrives on having control and power over others. The Victim, the ego loves to play the victim, drawing attention to the victimization of the person that draws attention to the person. The ego is related with pure self-centeredness, which drives a person's selfishness, greed, and arrogance. Considering that the ego is the source of darkness, for a person to advance spiritually and attain a deep meaningful friendship with the Almighty Divine Source; that person has to use action to humble oneself and transcend the ego. The person that identifies themselves with the body is living the delusion of the ego. The ego survives with the delusion that the person is the doer of their own action, and that the person is the body. Thus, when the body dies, the person must die, which is the common belief, except for members of religion because the ego has them deluded to the point that they’re special and they are saved. Every religion thrives on being the “special group” and they’re saved because of their belief, which is false. Consequently, the person can justify their life through their religion, because they believe they are saved. As a result, justification is an ego driven characteristic that allows the ego to enjoy its survival, along with living a selfish and greedy <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/three-natures-that-dominate.html">lifestyle</a> because of feeling special. The comment, “everyone makes mistakes, you will <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/concept-of-forgiveness.html">be forgiven</a>” is ego driven thinking. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">Karmic bonds</a> will be attached. From the teachers that teach enlightenment that stems from India and the Bhagavad-Gita, they agree on one issue - transcending the ego. The problem with people that teach publicly is that the ego attaches onto the person who is receiving public attention. The ego is crafty to the point of deluding the person that is in the public eye; that they themselves have transcended the ego and others have not. It is impossible to transcend the ego being in the public eye. The ego will take advantage of any open door of opportunity for attention: feeling special, being number one within a group, having people follow yourself, having control over others, playing the victim. The people that teach enlightenment have had a lot of influence within the subject. The concepts are not too hard to understand and easy to teach others. The problem is that the so-called guru's have fashioned it into a religion, which the guru themselves have missed the point. If the guru declares a person is enlightened then that person is convinced that they attained enlightenment. Enlightenment is related to a higher level of consciousness not an emotional episode. The ego is trampling all over these public teachers because they declare in public that they are this special person, whom the crafty ego gets just what it wants. Consequently, the ultimate goal is out of reach because of the ego, and being in the public eye. The Guru sets himself up by being special; people are looking up to him - idolizing him. Thus, nobody that receives attention on a public level can transcend the ego properly; if they were, they would never let themselves get into a situation like that in the first place. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/jesus-anointed-one.html">Jesus</a>, Buddha, and Krishna were living in the state of Pure Consciousness; that state of consciousness is ego-less. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/teachings-of-moses.html">Moses</a> was at very high level of consciousness and he still brought attention to himself - the ego trapped him - at the rock that they got water from. This is a lesson of the ego referring to Moses and the rock, Numbers 20:1-13, keep in mind that the context is doer-ship – Moses took credit and spoke with <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/tongue.html">the tongue</a> – “look what I did”. There is not a word in biblical Hebrew that could be translated into ego; the closest would be the word they translate into "sin". Since the ego is the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/darkness-within-different-context.html">source of darkness</a>, therefore - the source of sin. The new earth will be ego-less which is the same as sinless. Jesus was without sin because he was ego-less. Ego is sin, the authentic source of darkness. Transcendence resides within. Seeking and claiming the power within is the only way to transcend such things as: the ego, the senses, emotion, attachment, results of our action, other peoples perceptions, this world, sense objects. Continually being in touch with our <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/eternity.html">inner Self</a> (spirit) and understanding this is where our reality is situated – comprehending the formless spirit that resides within is eternal is a way to transcend the ego. This fact of reality boggles the personality of the ego. Realizing that what we do, is not the I-ego, but giving the Glory and doer-ship to the Almighty Divine Creator, the ego loses its power. The source of doer-ship is the Creator that resides within. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/humility-action-of-lowering-oneself.html">Humility – the action</a> of lowering oneself is vital and pivotal to change. Once a person is able to see a small aspect on how the ego operates, at that time, the person can work at transcending the ego. The struggle is ongoing - the ego never gives up.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-2687934980745942218?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/-MABFvznzB4" height="1" width="1"/>

The Three Natures that Dominate.

1317 Words : Posted 06.02.09

Within the Bhagavad Gita, three different types of natures, or Gunas, dominate humankind. Clearly understanding the context of the natures can help a person to identify what they need to transcend within their life. Chapter 14 of the Bhagavad Gita teaches about three gunas meaning natures that comprise of qualities. The three gunas, or nature of disposition, not only relate to nature, but also correspond three underlying attitudes of the mind that shape human behavior. The three forces of nature exhibit a predominating behavior. The three gunas are explained as follows: Sattvic person, (a rare type) untainted, free from sorrow, calm, and harmonized; Rajasic person, (the majority of humanity) restless energy, marked by passion, born of craving and attachment, always in motion; Tamas person, (also common) ignorance-born, deluded, indolence, lethargic, dwelling under the deceptive darkness. Each nature or behavior causes attachment, Sattvic can attach to joy, which is a pleasure; however, Sattvic is the goal compared to living in the lower two gunas. When Rajasic and Tamas are transcended, Sattvic will prevail. Rajasic ruling trait is based on desire and materialism that bonds attachment to the results of action. Rajasic feeds on cravings, greed, constant activity—leads to grief, sorrow, and disappointment. Tamas relates to utter darkness, laziness, dullness, stagnation, and confusion. When Tamas is the ruling trait the negative qualities bewilders the person ensnaring them in the hole of darkness. Sattvic ruling trait provides an unobstructed view of our formless spirit, the inner person. When a person is in harmony with the light of our true formless spirit, then the person can subject this world of material—this person has attained the nature of Sattvic. Transcending the obstacles, which relates to circumcising the heart that Moses taught, is the path to rise above from one nature to the next. The power of transcendence dwells within and streams from the Almighty Divine. Action is required for a person to overcome the two lower natures. Moses, The Buddha, Krishna, and Jesus taught acting within the context of integrity, honesty, and generosity conquers the darkness. An example is written at Genesis Chapter 4:6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." The darkness comprising of ego desires for control. Once a person can identify which guna is dominating, then that person can strive to rise to the nature of Sattvic, the Bhagavad Gita explains to go beyond the nature of Sattvic. The purpose of the earthly life is to transcend the two lower gunas and attain the serenity of Sattvic. The person that attains Sattvic is a rare person that has confronted and subjected this world of material. This person values wisdom, knowledge, and solitude. If a person can attain the nature of Sattvic, then one more step can be attained, but only the few have attained it. To give up and surrender even the nature of Sattvic, a person becomes the watcher of the gunas. Subjecting all objects of this world along with the gunas, a person can attain the state of pure consciousness, which the Buddha described this as nirvana; Jesus used the term Kingdom of God. This state is indifferent to the nature of the gunas, not having a desire of the joyful calm of Sattvic, or the active nature of Rajasic. This state of pure consciousness is a state, or world of its own. The reality of pure consciousness is complete contrast to this world. An amazing concept: humans can enter and dwell in this reality. The individuals that are granted the ability to maintain and cope with the reality of pure consciousness and the material world are the extreme few; however, this should be the focus and goal in a person's life. The rare person that attains the nature of Sattvic is a person that has taken life seriously by digging for truth: studying all scripture that is available, giving up all attachments, indifferent to pain, pleasure, success and failure. This person has an ability to enter the state of pure consciousness; however, it is a person choice. The Sattvic person reveres the Almighty Divine Source, clearly understanding his true source and his inner identity—the formless spirit. This person will go out of his way for the stranger as a sacrifice without bonding to an attachment to the results of his action. This person does not expect anything in return. This person gives their whole self within the context of generosity. The Rajasic person is concerned about results that stems from greed and selfishness. This person serves the gods of materialism and of money. This person may strive in religion only to serve the gods of religion. Always keeping oneself busy in the pursuits of the world—never taking time to seek what resides within. The Tamas person is undisciplined, stupid, stubborn, and disrespectful toward others, good for nothing. This person is lazy, not having any concern for the consequences for their action; they go from ignorance to utter darkness never able to pull them out of the hole of delusion. Considering that the few have entered the state of Pure Consciousness, the personal goal is transcending the natures of Rajasic and Tamas and attaining the nature of Sattvic. Attaining Sattvic a person will be blessed will the ultimate goal of their search and progress spirituality into a higher level of consciousness. Matthew wrote about the three natures, which Jesus taught at Matthew chapter 13:1-23. "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." The same context of information the book of Matthew in relation to the Gunas, although, a different style of teaching. Jesus taught the three gunas within a different culture and era of time, although the context if identical. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-3124029100522346733?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/ZJVHvoKLjsA" height="1" width="1"/>

The Context of Forgiveness.

1519 Words : Posted 05.28.09

Forgiveness defines as a pardon of transgressions, behavior that transgressed the commandments, such as adultery, murder, or thievery. However, required conditions exist to grant a pardon. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">Karma</a> dictates a response to action. An action of good or bad—a person will receive in return what they deserve, good, or bad. The populace prefers the avoidance of understanding that <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-action-vs-word.html">actions</a> are subjected to karma. The mentality, because of religious dogma, prefers the stimulated appeal to a pardon of action, motivated by a belief of imperfection. Consequently, justification of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/transcending-ego.html">the ego</a> prevails over the scrutiny of individual, personal action. Eastern scriptures, the Dhammapada, Bhagavad Gita, and the Tao Te Ching focus directly to attaining a higher level of consciousness. Because of this path, the context of forgiveness is absent. Within the Hebrew and Greek scriptures the teaching of forgiveness is on an immense level, even so—prerequisite conditions are mandatory. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/teachings-of-moses.html"> Moses</a>, the Prophets, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/jesus-anointed-one.html">Jesus</a>, and the Apostles, taught the context of forgiveness. Moses continually interceded for the Israelites so forgiveness would be granted. Forgiveness was granted; even so, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Source">the Divine Spirit</a> will not leave the guilty unpunished. Written in the book of Numbers, Moses taught that the Divine did forgive the Israelites even though they saw the miracles with their very own eyes, although castigated them by not allowing the group to see the promise land. The group of the Israelites was pardoned upon the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/cultivating-faith.html">faith</a> of Moses. However, personal karma appended on to each individual according to personal behavior. “Then the LORD said, I have pardoned, according to your word. But truly, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD, none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the test these ten times and have not obeyed my voice, shall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers. And none of those who despised me shall see it.” — Numbers 17:20-23 “And he said, If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.” — Exodus 34:9 Moses taught a required quality for a pardon to be granted—a person must forgive their fellow citizen. Moses taught this context of forgiveness within a story format. Jesus expounded this lesson: a pardon is conditional upon the forgiveness of thy neighbor. “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”—Matthew 6:14-15 The stories of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/lessons-of-king-david.html">King David</a> and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/lessons-of-king-saul.html">King Saul</a> are excellent examples of how transgressions are pardoned. David committed murder, adultery, and took a census of Israel—forgiveness was granted and David remained as King; although, David experienced karmic bonds that produced grief and sorrow throughout the rest of his life. David was humble, generous, responsible, faithful, and forgave his companions. In contrast, King Saul was not forgiven for his arrogance, selfishness, jealousy, irresponsibility, and impatience. Interesting enough, King Saul avoided <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/03/idolatry-of-stone-wood-and-rituals.html">Idolatry</a>, and worshiping other gods. King Saul experienced an <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/06/spirit-world-lower-entities.html">evil spirit</a> because the Divine Spirit departed, and karmic bonds attached to Saul’s behavior. Two different examples of David and Saul that teach the context of forgiveness and karmic bonds. King Manasseh of the kingdom of Judah teaches a required quality to be pardoned is <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/humility-action-of-lowering-oneself.html">humility</a>. King Manasseh committed the worse transgressions of all the Kings of Judah. He sacrificed his children to the Canaanite gods, and pursed idolatry that plunged the two-tribe kingdom of Judah beyond pardon. Because of Manasseh, Judah was destroyed by the Babylonians, despite the reforms of King Josiah. During Assyrian captivity, Manasseh humbled himself and prayed, because of humility, Manasseh was granted forgiveness, and the kingship restored in Jerusalem. —2 Chronicles 33:1-20 Matthew chapter 18:23-35, clearly teaches that treating our fellow citizen kindly is crucial to be granted a pardon. The story of a servant owning money to his master and begged the master to be patient and he would pay everything back. The master had pity on his servant and forgave the debt. That servant went out and found one of his servants that owed money. He dealt harshly with his servant, throwing him into prison. Then the master called the servant, that he forgave, and called him a wicked person, and threw him into jail to be tortured until he paid everything back. Consequently, Jesus declares: "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart." Each person will receive his or her karma and forgiveness is conditional. Heartfelt forgiveness concerning our fellow citizen is a prerequisite to be granted Divine forgiveness. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/heart-of-man.html">The heart</a> can store resentment and bitterness that create a grudge. A grudge produces: spite, malice, envy, covetous, jealousy—emotions stored the heart that prevents Divine forgiveness. Humility is an indispensable quality. A person must cultivate, and display humility, to be granted with Divine forgiveness. Humility—<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/transcending-ego.html">transcendence of the ego</a>—will motivate a person to avoid inner corrupting emotions that prevents inner heartfelt forgiveness. The ego that produces arrogance that is opposed to humility—the ego deludes reality. The ego prevents a heart to admit mistakes, thus, voids out a pardon. Karmic bonds will dictate the person’s life. The apostle John writes—If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. —First John 1:9. The context of forgiveness must be contemplated to understand the simplicity of this verse. Consequently, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/revelling-christianity.html">Christianity</a> teaches a form of justification disguised as forgiveness. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/study-tools.html">Taking in Knowledge</a> is the crucial to being grated with wisdom. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/rulership-of-this-world.html">The world </a>is under the domination of the wicked ones that the lower entities have control of the religions in the earth. The world <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/Religion">religions</a> teach falsehood, ear-tickling dogma that allows justification. For a person who is striving for the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/ultimate-goal.html">ultimate goal</a>, understanding the context of forgiveness is pivotal. Cultivating the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-likeness-righteousness-vs-wickedness.html">qualities</a> of King David is paramount to be granted a Divine pardon. Nevertheless, karmic bonds are attached to human behavior—good or bad. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-5747338811756561809?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/d713OtF2ApM" height="1" width="1"/>

The Destiny of the Children of Light.

1689 Words : Posted 05.25.09

The destiny of the children of the light is an absolute contrast than the children of the darkness. The destiny of the children of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/power-of-darkness.html">the darkness</a> is the easy path of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/transcending-ego.html">ego</a>, greed, and selfishness. The path of darkness will be of shame, grief, fear, and dread - living in their own kingdom. The destiny of the children of the light will be in the ego-less new earth of love, joy, and peace. However, the path is of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/why-suffering.html">suffering,</a> pain, and death. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/revelling-christianity.html">Christianity</a>, Islam, and Judaism believes in being saved from death and enters heaven after living one life. The requirement is for Christians to believe in <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/jesus-anointed-one.html">Jesus</a> and for Muslims to believe in Muhammad. Because of the dogma that is taught for generations, the context of the truth is absent. Consequently, religion and the public believe they will be saved without going through any hardship and death during<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/Judgment Day"> the judgment</a>. Considering that Christianity is blinded from the context of the New Testament, the members are duped into thinking they are saved by grace, because of the writings of Paul. The Apostle Paul was teaching concerning the chosen during his era, his perception was that all the followers of Jesus were chosen or Anointed by the spirit, which is taught at Romans Chapter Eight. In the first century, in the early days of the apostles, the return of Jesus was the predominant subject. Thus, the subject of being saved was paramount. Consequently, people around the world believe they will be saved without suffering or tested to death when the Man of Lawlessness arrives. The Prophet Zechariah teaches concerning the destiny of the children of light. The Shepherd Struck, the Sheep Scattered, "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man Who is close to me!" declares the LORD Almighty. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. In the whole land," declares the LORD, "two-thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, They are my people, and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.' - Zechariah 13:7-9 Notice Zechariah writes about two groups, which Jesus taught concerning a little flock and other sheep. The two-thirds relate to the other sheep that are destined for the new ego-less earth. They will go through a swift death without suffering at the hands of men, although tested by facing death during the time of the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.info/">man of lawlessness</a>. Most of the other sheep are stuck in <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/Religion">religion</a>, although their <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/heart-of-man.html">heart condition</a> and belief will save them. This is what it means to be saved. Paul, Peter, John, and the others wrote about being saved in respects to the time of Judgment - the main issue during the first century. The Christians and Islam are deceived along with all the other religions. The chosen (little flock) offer themselves to share in the sufferings of their Master Jesus. Thus, Zechariah teaches that one-third of the children of light (chosen) will be tested like gold and put through the fire - refined like silver, which defines as suffering. The chosen share in the sufferings of Jesus, and for the other sheep, which allows the multitude of the other sheep die a swift death. Cutting off a person's head is much different from nails run through the flesh and hung on a stake. The majority cannot comprehend why the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Source">Almighty Divine Spirit</a> ordains pain and suffering for the side of righteousness. The children of the light must be tested concerning their faith, and integrity. The children of the light must suffer and experience discipline to live in the new earth. The inner hearts of humanity are being maneuvered for the judgment time of the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Man of Lawlessness">Man of Lawlessness</a>. Which one of the kingdoms will the inner heart desire, the easy path of darkness or the narrow road of the light? For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.- I Peter 2:19 It is commendable if a person suffers, especially if a person is innocent - blameless. Discipline is essential. Jesus set the example having to suffer and die to be raised. Additionally, the apostles suffered by the hands of the children of the darkness. During the time of the Man of Lawlessness the children of the light will suffer, and be murdered by the children of the darkness. It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. - Hebrews 12:7-11 The destiny of the Chosen compared to the other sheep is different. The other sheep will live on the ego-less new earth in harmony with the Sacred Spirits who will live in the new heavens, Isaiah clearly taught concerning a new earth and new heavens. Indeed, the chosen is a person that is spiritually solo - abandoning idolatrous religion, lives a life of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/way-of-non-attachment.html">non-attachment,</a> has surrendered being positioned, and continually <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/transcending-ego.html">transcends the ego</a>. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/humility-action-of-lowering-oneself.html">Humility</a> and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-action-vs-word.html">acting unselfishly</a> concerning <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-regarding-stranger.html">the stranger</a> is a predominant quality among the chosen. The chosen are the ones that give their whole self and that are granted with wisdom to understand the truth - the hidden context of the Almighty Divine is revealed. They offer themselves to suffer for others, which is a choice; thus, the life of the chosen becomes a sacrifice. This is the context concerning Jesus offered as a sacrifice. Christianity perceives that Jesus was a human sacrifice. Human sacrifice is against the commandments. Jesus chose to take on the suffering for the other sheep that will live on the ego-less new earth. Jesus being anointed was raised as, not only King, but as high priest. Jesus transformed the temple that allows humans to be forgiven through him. Before this, humans had to bring an animal sacrifice to the temple for forgiveness. Leaving religion and any kind of position is vital, because it is impossible to be considered for the privilege of the chosen. The Destiny of the chosen is to rule as spirit with Jesus. This is what is meant by being born again, worshiping in spirit and truth. The chosen is referred to in Ephesians Chapter 2, notably Verse 8-10. The Prophets wrote that the minds will be blinded and hearts cannot perceive. People’s ears hear, but do not listen. Because of this, each person has to seek the truth. The Almighty Divine can open a person's eyes and take off the veil of deception. Religions will never understand, nor except the truth.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-4612079090549508795?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/cZOM_pY6Fd4" height="1" width="1"/>

The Results of Idolatry

1985 Words : Posted 05.23.09

Note that I am using the NIV translation just because it is easy English to read from. <blockquote>Jeremiah 5:1“Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city.</blockquote><blockquote>Jeremiah 9:5 Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning.</blockquote>Jeremiah describe the behaviors that were going on in Jerusalem before the destruction of 586 B.C.E.. Dishonesty and deceiving one another, no one speaking the truth nor seeking it. Jeremiah also describes the adultery that was committed. <blockquote style="font-style: italic;">Jeremiah 3:8 I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. </blockquote>Behaviors that go against what love teaches, which we see the same thing happening all over the world. Society stealing, telling lies to one another, mates cheating on their spouse. Their of course are many couples that are faithful toward one another, but we can see that Hollywood and the media continues to teach the idea that adultery is just OK. In many cases people cheat, lie, and steal and think that they are hiding their behavior. The Israelites buried themselves in behaviors that they learned from the Canaanites and never circumcised their hearts. Nobody was seeking the truth, which we see today in our society that very few people take time to study and seek the truth compared to our whole population. <blockquote>Jeremiah 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, circumcise your hearts, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done-- burn with no one to quench it.</blockquote>Today is the same case because generation after generation of religious dogma and the cultural of the land people are taught to pursue selfishness and greed. The only time change can take palce is when a person can recognize and admit to their selfishness, at that time the person can work on changing or circumcising their heart. <blockquote>Jeremiah 7:24 But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward. Jeremiah 9:14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their fathers taught them."</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>The same situation today with our society ego inflated mentality results with a person unable to listen or even recognize when to listen and stubbornly follow their selfish hearts instead of trying to change to having a generous heart. Having a stubborn attachment by worshiping the Baals/Masters (lower entities) has affected mankind all the down to our day, which today refers worshiping the "Baals" through religion. Humankind has brought upon themselves "disaster" from which Moses warned the Israelites what would be the result of there Idolatry. It is from that Idolatry that the Divine has give mankind up to having the problems with themselves and gave this world up to the wicked control that the ones in power have over people. The Apostle Paul summed it up by tell it like it was starting at Romans chapter 1:21, keep in mind he was writing to the followers in Rome, Keep in mind Roman behavior. The religions of today, most notably Christianity has missed the point what Paul was trying to say. Notice how Paul is explaining the result of the Idolatry in the world. Side Note: Paul is not condemning couples of the same sex that are in dedicated normal same sex relationships and that believe in God. Moses nor the Prophets never said anything about same sex relationships. I have personally known same sex couples that have kids and have wonderful loving families. Moses mentions five types of sex behaviors at Leviticus chapter 18, the only thing that is mentioned is regarding the same sex is about males having anal intercourse and that is the only thing. I use to live next to two males that have been a couple for 30 years, they were the nicest neighbors that I have ever lived next to. Very generous, friendly, willing to help out in anyway and very loyal to one another. Their willingness to help out their neighbor is what will be noticed by the Divine. Paul is talking about the bizarre attitude among unrestrained humans who are darting after sexual gratification like a stallion. Having no control whatsoever these type of people have no regard for the Divine. It is Because of the Idolatry that the Divine have given them up to their instant gratification that does not result in any satisfaction. Why would the Divine have someone be born into this earth and that person has always been attracted to the same sex all their life just to condemn that person? There is no wisdom to that concept. The Christians drowning in Idolatry have missed the point of what Paul was talking about. Paul does not reveal who "they" are. "They" are those who does not have any regard for the Almighty Divine who is their Creator despite "knowing". <blockquote> Romans chapter 1:21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.</blockquote> Paul is explaining the result of Idolatry which any person with some discernment should be able to see that this world is utterly filled with people breaking the first two commandments. This is the reason we see a selfish and greedy world which teaches people the attitudes that are explained by Paul in the above text. <blockquote>Dan 9:13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth.</blockquote>For a person to avoid disaster a person has to seek the truth and take time to do so. Considering that the truth has been deeply buried, the scriptures in the Baghavad Gita points to the seriousness of "seeking the truth", and never give up until you understand the truth of why we are here and what is expected of us humans. In this world their are many people that do actively seek the truth, but compared to the population of the world they are very few. For a person that is comfortable and satisfied in religion, that person is not actively seeking the truth.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-7040935074685077004?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/8bPc6yMH1VQ" height="1" width="1"/>

The Heart of Beings.

2001 Words : Posted 05.14.09

Within scripture, the term "heart" is used multiple times that is important to consider within a <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/study-tools.html">study program</a> and the pursuit of spirituality. The word heart that is translated from the biblical Hebrew is taken from four different Hebrew words. Two of them as follows: "lebab lay-bawb" refers to the internal organ that pumps blood and keeps humans alive. "leb labe" defines as, the heart (figuratively) very widely for the feelings, the will and even the intellect; likewise for the centre of anything. Both words are translated into many different words according to the sentence structure. "leb labe" is mostly translated as heart. The first time used in the Hebrew Scriptures is at Genesis chapter 6:5-6. <blockquote>“The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.”</blockquote>Recognizing that the Divine is referred to having a heart along with man is indispensable - the third time the heart is mentioned is at Genesis chapter 8:21. <blockquote>“The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.”</blockquote>The inner heart is the seat of motivation of existence - <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Spirit World">spirit</a> and human. From the book of Genesis, we learn that the heart of man was bad from the youth up. Matthew writes that Jesus taught that <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-likeness-righteousness-vs-wickedness.html">goodness or badness</a> could be stored in the heart. Spoken words and behaviors are manifestations of the heart – the figurative heart resides within and is formless - equals the inner person. Considering that the heart dwells within each human being, and is the seat of motivation, each student should attain complete understanding why <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/teachings-of-moses.html">Moses</a> taught to circumcise the heart. The story regarding Moses dealing with Pharaoh in Exodus chapters 7-11, we learn that Pharaoh had a hard heart, to the point that he did not let the Israelites go. Analyzing closely, clearly the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/06/spirit-world-sacred-spirits.html">Divine Spirit</a> hardened the heart of Pharaoh, which this subject of Pharaoh is referred in the article <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/source-of-everything-part-one.html">The Source part one</a>. The lesson taught is the heart has the ability to harden on the side of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/power-of-darkness.html">the darkness</a> that demonstrates ego-driven attitudes, speech, behaviors such as selfishness, greed, pride, which causes injury to humanity. The subject of generosity stems from the inner heart. Offering animal sacrifices was an expression of generosity that we can learn from Exodus 25:2. <blockquote>“Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give.”</blockquote>A selfish person who has hardened their heart - Moses taught to change it, he used the term - circumcise. Within the book of Daniel chapter five, Daniel is sharing a story about the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Telling the story to the king's son, Belshazzar, Daniel writes at verse 20. <blockquote>“But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory.”</blockquote>The heart can become arrogant and haughty with pride that we can also learn from Isaiah 9:9 and Jeremiah 48:29 <blockquote>“All the people will know it - Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria - who say with pride and arrogance of heart, We have heard of Moab's pride - her overweening pride and conceit, her pride and arrogance and the haughtiness of her heart.”</blockquote><a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/lessons-of-king-saul.html">King Saul</a> is a fine example of a person who allowed his heart to become arrogant and haughty, and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Source">the Divine</a> rejected him because of his heart condition. Wisely considering the cavity a person can get himself or herself into from pursuing wickedness; a person who is seeking truth and is determined to conquer the bad with doing good would be prudent on how they use their tongue. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/tongue.html">The tongue</a> can be destructive to the inner heart. The world continually teaches the opposite of what Moses and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/jesus-anointed-one.html">Jesus</a> taught. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-action-vs-word.html">Acting upon love</a>, instead of just saying the word superficially, a person can conquer selfishness. The heart can become ignorant, hypocritical, deluded, and lazy. A person that is deluded, because of their ego, that person can easily speak out hypocritically, believing concepts about themselves that are a complete lie – this type of heart is arrogant and deluded that results in hypocrisy. An example of hypocrites is the lesson in Matthew when Jesus condemned the behavior of the Pharisees. A religious person that has a hypocritical heart will never succeed in spirituality without taking an honest reassessment of themselves and changing their heart. Carved in rock in Greece at the temple ruins of Apollo is written: know thy self. Moses taught: circumcise the heart - Deuteronomy 10:16. Out of the heart proceeds – wickedness, selfishness, greed, arrogance, and accusing; however, once the heart is circumcised the behavior of the light will be manifested – generosity, peace, love, faith, kindness,<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/humility-action-of-lowering-oneself.html"> humility</a> and self-control. The inner heart produces who we are, Mathew writes what Jesus taught in Chapter 15:15-20. <blockquote>Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.” So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”</blockquote>Jesus is teaching the commandments of what Moses wrote down that will stand to times indefinite for the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/destiny-of-children-of-light.html">children of the light</a>. There is an important reason why people avoid studying scripture - the Apostle Paul wrote at Hebrews chapter 4:12. <blockquote>“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”</blockquote>Scripture discerns the thoughts and motivations of the inner heart. Consequently, scripture has the ability to manifest to the reader what dwells in their heart. A person that is able to study scripture, which includes all scripture that is available; that heart has a disposition to spirituality and truth. All scripture includes: The Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, The Bhagavad Gita, The Dhammapada, The Tao Te Ching, The Upanishads, The Rig Veda, The Apocrypha Books, The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Koran, and several other books of scripture. All books of scripture reveal the Almighty Divine Source of everything, and teach truth. Scriptures of antiquities written by wise men in different cultures, different generations, and different writing styles, writings that consume the depth of reality. <blockquote>The Tao Te Ching chapter 9; “Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity”. The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15:15; “I (The Divine) dwell deep in the hearts of all beings; I am the source of memory and knowledge, the author of all scriptures, their wisdom, their goal”.</blockquote>The human heart is profoundly affected by deep study of scripture. Through circumcising the heart, a person will be focused on spiritual subject matter: helping their fellowman, avoiding empty talk of the world, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/being-no-part-of-this-world.html">being no part of the world</a>, interested in speaking spiritual substance, meditating on the qualities of the light. The path of the children of darkness is the easy path - the path of the children of light requires exertion, it is the narrow path – difficult – the path of pain and suffering, although temporary. The Dhammapada 18:10-11, The Buddha teaches. <blockquote>“Life is easy to live of the shameless man, aggressive, arrogant, intrusive, corrupt. Life is not easy for the modest man with high values, free from attachment, humble, of right livelihood, and clear vision.”</blockquote>Matthew writing what Jesus taught at chapter 7:13-14. <blockquote>“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”</blockquote>The Bhagavad Gita chapter 15:11, <blockquote>Krishna teaches. “True men of devotion, striving, see the true Self within themselves; but men without self control, however they strive, do not see the true Self.”</blockquote>Searching out the inner heart and the person that dwells within is vital. Understanding thy self is crucial to cultivating self-control of the inner heart. As the saying was written in stone in Greece at the Temple of Apollo - Know thy self, all things in moderation is a reality for humankind.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-6279462397393654034?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/Pnj6MAWzVYU" height="1" width="1"/>

Jesus the Anointed One.

2366 Words : Posted 08.16.08

This article relates to the article; <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/ultimate-goal.html">The Ultimate goal.</a> Jesus, one of the most influential people that have walked the earth lived during the height of the Roman Empire, and the beginning of our common era. During the infancy of the Roman Empire and the end of the Republic, Tiberius was the Emperor during the three in and a half-year ministry of Jesus. The glorious temple of Herod the Great stood atop the mount in Jerusalem. The religion of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/judaism.html">Judaism</a> flourished under the Scribes and Pharisees under Roman supervision. Jesus began his travels by healing and feeding the populace, producing wondrous miracles—teaching about the kingdom of the light, faith and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-action-vs-word.html">love</a>, the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/man-of-lawlessness-judgement-day.html">judgment</a> era, and the aggregating of his chosen. Popular belief commands that Jesus is the Messiah. The popular definition dictates that the word Messiah defines as savior—a misleading context. The term translated into Christ defines as Anointed. The words Messiah and Christ define in the Greek dictionary as Anointed. Christ defines in Strongs Greek Dictionary as follows: <blockquote>Christos khris-tos' From 5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus:-- Christ. chrio khree'-o probably akin to 5530 through the idea of contact; to smear or rub with oil, i.e. (by implication) to consecrate to an office or religious service:-- anoint.</blockquote>Christ defines as Anointed. The translation from biblical Greek replaced the word Anointed with Christ and Messiah. The words Messiah and Christ have provided a false definition of the identity of Jesus. The common perception is that Christ is the last name of Jesus—this is false. Surnames did not exist among the Jews; Jesus was considered the son of Joseph the carpenter. However, surnames were used within the Roman Empire. The popular comprehension of the term Messiah defines as savior, which is false, too. Christian dogma and culture have been ingrained with falsehood since the year 325 CE. The corruption that happened in 325 CE, concerning the large community of people that believed in Jesus—corruption engulfed them by <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/power-of-darkness.html">the darkness</a> and the wicked <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/06/spirit-world-lower-entities.html">entities</a> that rule the world. The early church fathers (after the apostles died) slowly created a dogma that Paul, Peter, and John foretold would occur. The Roman Empire became the church, and idolatry and falsehood flourished. Because of the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, the church leaders along with the state of Rome, augmented the falsehood that inserted into the dogma of Christianity, the organization of Christendom cannot recover from the entrenched falsehood. Consequently, to identify the affirmative meaning of words is essential to comprehending the truth. Attaining older, out of print dictionaries is challenging, the only Biblical Dictionary that is available is the Strongs Concordance and Dictionary. Therefore, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/study-tools.html">deep study</a>, researching definitions of words and context is crucial. Considering that Jesus arrived on the earth in the flesh to be Anointed—the question to contemplate—which kingdom is he ruling as king? The writing of John expresses that Jesus continually taught that his kingdom is <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/being-no-part-of-this-world.html">no part of this world.</a> Jesus taught that his chosen followers must be separate from this world of wickedness. Thus, the kingdom Jesus was teaching about is not of this earth. Isaiah clearly taught about a new earth. The religious leaders erased the context within their dogma and created the heaven and hell idea, thus the context is false, though the concept is correct concerning two different destinies. Jesus taught concerning two destinies—the new heaven for the chosen, and the new earth for the children of the light. The destiny for the majority of the children of the light is the new earth. Jesus is the King and Master of the children of the light. The children of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/darkness-within-different-context.html">the darkness</a> will dwell within their own kingdom, which will be a hell—a hell of shame, fear, control, and enslavement. Jesus was the only begotten spirit created by the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Source">Almighty Divine Source</a>. After the creation of Jesus,<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/05/spirit-world-beginning.html"> billions of spirits</a> experienced life issuing from the Divine Spirit. This is why the Almighty Divine could take the spirit of his only begotten and put it in the womb of a virgin. Enlightened humans that have attained a higher level of consciousness have lived many lives, suffering in the body, reborn in the womb multiple times. Jesus is the only spirit that lived one human life. Each spirit is granted the choice to enter the human cycle. Flesh is flesh stuck in the human cycle. For a human to reenter the heavens as a spirit, they must go through the human cycle and be reborn into many lifetimes—<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">karma </a>will determine if a person’s destiny is to become enlightened—the majority will remain under deception. This is context of what Jesus taught at John 3:1-15. A lack of understanding the deeper context of the scriptures prevails in Christianity because of the idolatry. Understanding the truth of the Spirit world is crucial to comprehending the rebirth cycle of humans. Jesus is the King and Master of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/destiny-of-children-of-light.html">the children of the light</a>; the corruption of the darkness caused and motivated a spirit to enter the human cycle. Hence, the Apostle Paul taught in Romans chapter eight, those who will attain enlightenment and become one of the chosen was predestined and foreknown. A spirit enters the human cycle with karma that determines a person's destiny. This is why the foreknowledge of the chosen was already known. Few humans from the billions living will attain enlightenment. <blockquote>For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. —Romans Chapter 8:29</blockquote>Paul is writing about the chosen, the anointed that are predestined to attain enlightenment as a human and transform upon death as a <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/06/spirit-world-sacred-spirits.html">Sacred Spirit</a>. Jesus taught to take the narrow road, although few will find it. Jesus is teaching about his anointed, chosen people. Jesus born of a virgin—having his spirit directly placed into the womb; Jesus is the only human to live one life. Thus, Jesus had to suffer, and die, to be raised. Jesus came to the earth to be anointed as king of the children of light, and to gather his chosen, the chosen are scattered in the earth—individualized—the darkness strives to ensnare the chosen. Jeremiah taught concerning a new covenant, this covenant is the chosen people that will rule with Jesus over the egoless new earth. Isaiah clearly foretold about a new heaven and new earth. Jesus set the example of what the children of light (other sheep) will have to do to be saved into the egoless new earth at the time of judgment. That is to be tested to death at the time of the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.info/">Man of Lawlessness</a>—the judgment era. Through that death, a person will be saved in the egoless new earth; thus, the resurrection that the Prophet Daniel taught. The baptism of Jesus was his anointing, therefore, Matthew writes that Jesus will baptize with fire and spirit. This baptizing is with fire and spirit and adverts to the chosen anointed ones, the little flock, Matthew 3:11-12. The other sheep that is positioned in Christianity is fixed on water baptism; therefore, members of religion are destined for the new earth—the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/results-of-idolatry.html">result of idolatry</a>, attachment and positioned in duality. There are two groups, two resurrections—the little flock that are granted as the chosen, and the other sheep that is the majority of the children of the light. Jesus was granted three and a half years for his ministry. The opposite one, the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/man-of-lawlessness-judgement-day.html">man of lawlessness</a> (antichrist) that will be anointed as king over the children of the darkness, will be granted the same amount of time. Seven is number of complement, which Daniel writes about concerning the seven times defining as seven years. The teachings of faith and love, the time of judgment, the aggregating of the chosen, and the kingdom of the light, was the predominant focus of Jesus’ teaches. Jesus entered heaven not only as King and Master, but also as high priest. Paul writes in detail about Jesus entering as high priest, once for all time. Therefore, Jesus became the temple, and the fulfillment of the temple law transpired; henceforth, the abolishment of sacrifice materialized because Jesus entered heaven as high priest. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/concept-of-forgiveness.html">Forgiveness</a> is granted through Jesus for the children of the light, although forgiveness is conditional—<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">karmic bonds</a> are attached to human behavior—good or bad. Christianity teaches that the "law" adverts to everything that <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/teachings-of-moses.html">Moses</a> wrote down, this is false dogma. Moses wrote down the law of the temple, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/first-two-commandments.html">the commandments</a> of human behavior, and regulations concerning the lifestyle of the Israelites.<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/06/spirit-world-lower-entities.html"> The lower entities</a> have been very crafty at deceiving truth seekers through religion that the commandments of Moses have been voided. The commandments of human behavior will be in effect for the children of the light into the new earth forever. The message that the Apostle Paul taught, the Gentile nations spread all over the world: Jesus is the Anointed; he suffered, died, and rose to heaven. This message exists, even though there is a misperception of the context; nevertheless, the perception and belief is positive, even though Christianity through the papacy and clergy is corrupted. Jesus taught about the kingdom of the light and that if a person believes that person will be saved. The bottom line context of the writings of John is obscured among the minds of Christianity. The context of John 3:16 refers to the judgment time, during the Man of Lawlessness. Considering the truth of the human cycle, that, each person lives out their karma from each past life—the time table that people will be saved is through their death at the time of the Man of Lawlessness, which will be based on personal faith. Tested to death, although saved into the new egoless earth—Faith is being convinced about concealed realities. The hands of the children of the darkness will murder anybody that does not follow and believe in the Man of Lawlessness. Believing in Jesus, The Buddha, Muhammad, or Krishna, whoever it may be will assist in opposing and resisting the Man of Lawlessness. Faith is the savior; Jesus set the example of suffering, dying and then rose to heaven. The little flock will rise to heaven; the other sheep will be resurrected to the new egoless earth. Faith provides as the savior. If a person does not attain a high level of consciousness, and emerge out of the deception, personal faith will save them during the time of the man of lawlessness. Jesus is the Anointed King and Master of the Children of the Light. Jesus taught that his followers must be separate of this world. This whole world is under the power of the wicked ones. The wicked lower entities present themselves as an angle of light. The children of darkness hate the light, and are murders of the light. Cultivating inner faith will provide strength to live within a world that is destined for the kingdom of the darkness. Jesus proved to be a kind, loving, and wise master; each person will chose according to their destiny. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-7193177826052611100?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/cLrPv1DELjQ" height="1" width="1"/>

The Idolatry of Stone, Wood, and Rituals.

1467 Words : Posted 03.30.08

Throughout the world religions, an observaton should be easily attained for the non-attached person to notice is that all religions pray to stone, wood, or some type of organization. Even an organization such as the Watchtower or Latter Day Saints serves as Idolatry, because of their members’ attachment toward the entity - an organization.    Before our common era, humans worshiped many gods, which was the type worship of the epoch. Once in awhile some kingdoms also used a monotheistic worship, although the same type of ritual worship. Many so-called gods were worship through temples. Foods, drink, spices, and animals, were offered as a sacrifice; incense was also burnt to the gods. Sometimes parents even offered their children as a sacrifice. Water rituals and using an out-ward appearance such as a priesthood was also present. After the captivity of the Israelites in Babylon in the sixth century, the form of worship of religion slowly started to change, thus - the same type of worship (Idolatry) remains today. The lower Entities thrive on the worship they receive from humans. Through every single religion today, the lower entities are in control of, and wallow within the walls of churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and so fourth. A lower entity was a spirit at one time, in the spirit world, who allowed themselves to become corrupted from the darkness; corrupted to the point of being demoted into a form - a lower entity - although, invisible to the human eye. The first lower entity was Baal, the one who the Israelites attached themselves to and worshiped. The celebration of Halloween is a celebration of Baal's demotion in the spirit world. Since that time of the first demotion of a spirit, billions of spirits have been demoted. These lower entities are in need of energy, henceforth - from human creation - energy can be found through human worship, human negative emotion, self-centered attention such as a lower entity attaching themselves to items in museums (a Shrine of the Muses) siphoning the energy from the unsuspecting human eyes. Lower entities are strongly attached to religious worship. People that attach themselves by praying to stone, such as a stonewall in Jerusalem, a stone-house in Mecca, and the Cross of Christianity and the so-called Virgin Mary are giving worship to the lower entities. Humans deeply believing in their faith, consequently, they are utterly and consummately under the deception of the lower entities. Foods and water become an issue within religion. Within Judaism and Islam, pork is forbidden to eat. The only reason Moses wrote not to eat pork, because that is what the Canaanites were eating. Leaders and members of religion believe that they have to cover their bodies, which throughout the year’s shame has festered within their culture, not in all countries, though. Covering the body does not have any type of significance spiritually; an outward appearance is a detriment to a person’s spirituality. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism and other religions creates an issue of washing of the hands and body, and the peculiar, bizarre, concept of holy water in Christianity. Washing of the body goes all the way back past the days of Jesus. The only reason Jesus was baptized in water is because it was common. The people at that time believed that washing could forgive their sins. Through water baptism, Jesus was anointed from the spirit of the Almighty. It is written that Jesus would baptize his servants by fire not water. The Jews at that time, and even nowadays, will wash or bath in ceremonial baths before worship. In Islam, Muslims must wash with water or sand before they pray. A person can be filthy dirty and pray at any time from their heart, and the Almighty who hears everything will hear the person. Another similar characteristic among religions is using an outward appearance of a hat or the hair. Each religion wears a specifically designed hat upon the head, or shave the hair as in Buddhism. Islam, Judaism, Christianity will were robes or galibayya type of dress. The nuns and women of Islam wear a head covering. For some reason hair seems to be an issue within religion. Either they shave their heads, or cover their hair, or they do not cut their hair at all. Within some counties of Islam, such as Egypt, some men will have a calloused forehead, an outward appearance showing how often they pray. Since Muslims bow down and put their head to the ground, some men have a calloused forehead. Hindus, too, will spot the forehead, along with Christianity spotting the forehead on Ash Wednesday. The washing before prayer, the type of dress, and any type of outward appearance is rooted from lower entity concept of worship - a lower entity style of worship. The lie of the world is that the Almighty Divine Creator needs or expects worship from humans. The Almighty desires thankfulness, gratitude, and friendship; The Almighty Divine requires a person to transcend the ego and learn what true love is toward our neighbor - letting go of personal selfishness is a prerequisite. The Almighty Divine wants humans to show love to their Creator by not having any type of form of Idolatry in their life; in this way, the person expresses their love for the Creator.    Henceforth, each religion furnishes a kind of prayer bead, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all pray with beads, Buddhism has a prayer wheel, and Hinduism is similar. All of these forms of rituals are direct forms of lower entity worship; in return, the Almighty Divine gives people over to their inner desires without any power to transcend the dualities of this world.    The counties that have held onto their, strong fisted religion, which enslaves the public with an iron fist - these countries are experiencing their karma repeatedly. In the time of Martin Luther in Germany, he started the change movement in Europe against the iron rule of the Papal Catholics. From that time, gradually, choice was granted in the western counties. Granted with free choice, the Sacred Spirits can work with people in free countries to teach enlightenment and truth. Counties that continue to program the young, and stick to their out-dated cultural ideology, are given over to their karma. Granted the governments of the west are wicked in themselves, at any rate, people can freely choose what they want to believe, even if it's disbelief. Free countries have created their own karma - even though there is freedom of choice, at least for now.    Taking into consideration that religion does serve a purpose for the multitudes that are to frail to go solo in their pursuit or spirituality. Some people when they start to seek for "God" need religion. Nonetheless, identifying when to leave the religion, after attaining mature growth, is essential. Mass groups of spirits that went into the human cycle entered with bad karma. Slavery within this world serves for a purpose and path for many. A person that lives their life in disbelief might be put into a womb, and raised in a controlling, programmed, religion of Ideology in their next life.    Counties that not only pray to stone or wood, but don't allow any type of choice regarding a person's personal spirituality - is rooted in bad karma. The people are given over to a nice out-ward appearance, consequently – within themselves - they are filled with emotional negativity: overly concerned, discontented, dissatisfied, insecure, troubled, uneasy, confused, hopeless, unsatisfied; humans given over to their own negativity - a clear manifestation all over the world today.   Humans with strong attachments become sensitive when challenged - easily threatened - anger and fear rise quickly within the heart. Humans are under major deception for a purpose; this is why Jesus taught in parables, because the common people were not suppose to understand - they were not meant to understand. A karmic bond from the spirit world is the answer. Karma dictates life. Living free from Idolatry can be a beginning for anybody.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-867945291595750202?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/WL30u5WzTyU" height="1" width="1"/>

The Enslavement of the Masses.

1038 Words : Posted 03.24.08

The enslavement of humans is a subject that possesses an ancient history with a clear actuality of truth. Slavery is demonstrated in numerous different areas in life: within employment, culture, religion, personal emotion; enslavement occurs in every part of the world. The workplace is a common arena where people are enslaved even in the so-called free world. People allowing themselves to get deep into debt, because of inner want of material stuff that just clutters their life. Humans living with entrenched inner want; never satisfied because of an uncontrolled desire - creates attachments - some people lust after material objects. Consequently, the workplace takes on a value - such a strong value that people enslave themselves under a job which they may just hate; that for the proletariat, have no way out of the situation. Subjected to workmates of the world and the energetic entrainment of the atmosphere, the person's inner heart can become spiritually injured. The energetic peer-pressure can add to the enslavement of ‘keeping up with the Jones family’; hence, the indecisive and halfhearted will just follow the majority, and remain in debt – a form of slavery. Many people that own a business find that the business owns them instead. Indeed, there is enslavement within this world in the workplace. The wealthy may find themselves enslaved because of money only desiring more, living in fear and insecurity, trapped in their own emotions is a common result. Freeing oneself is linked, not just with faith, but an inner self-control to get oneself out of debt and release the attachment toward material objects. Once a person can accomplish this sort of freedom, that person will want to avoid an enslaving workplace situation.    Enslavement through personal emotion can be catastrophic upon a person's life. A person’s emotional reality can become so congested that the person is drawn into addictions, along with compulsive and obsessive behaviors. Some people have committed suicide because of their emotional reality being so nightmarish. Culturally, the emotions of humans differ, slightly, according to the cultural rules that are put upon the people. Hence, there is a common type of behavior that is worldwide, humans cannot deny their inner heart, which is the seat of motivation. Moses clearly taught about human behavior. Alternative health care can be a great aid clearing a person’s emotional reality. Relying upon Divine direction a person may become free from detrimental emotion that might be stuck within one's emotional reality. Nevertheless, enslavement can occur within the emotional reality of a human being. Enslavement through religion is a major form of slavery today. Each religion is dogmatically positioned and the religion is a form of Idolatry. The religions around the world are controlled by the lower entities that thrive off the worship from humans. The Almighty Divine does not require our worship; the Almighty desires our love for our fellow humans and showing love by staying away from worshiping other gods (lower entities) and all forms of Idolatry. Gratitude is key, even being thankful for what unpleasant might have happened in a person's life. Each religion is based on mind controlling ideology, which is taken from their scripture, consequently, failing to understand the deep inner truth of love and faith. Blinded with a vale hanging over their eyes, religion only provides a path that for the majority results living another life. A measure a truth resides in each religion, although falsehood and control are at the forefront. Dogmatically positioned with a mind controlling ideology, the person struggles with their inner sinful desire. If the person can identify the falsehood and detach from their religion, and entirely leave the unclean empire of religion - at that time, the person needs to deprogram, study scripture, and pray for direction, clear sight will be granted to recognize the truth. Thankfulness is vital.    Enslavement through culture is an area where a person may be stuck for their entire life. Cultural rules differ from place to place, country to country. Within some controlling, religious enslaved countries, multitudes of people will be stuck for this lifetime without ever being freed from the trap. Even within so-called free countries of the west, people without any religious upbringing will still live under rules from the influence of religion without the person realizing their living under nonsense rules. Identifying the enslavement that the culture molds the person into is vital for freedom from a culture. Studying what Moses taught, regarding human behavior, can bring in the balance regarding universal rules of love. Letting go of the attachment of one's patriotic nationality, along with letting go of the pride of "home" is essential to releasing the enslavement of one's culture. Learning other cultures can also be helpful to avoid staying engulfed within one's own culture that becomes positioned. There are many people due to karmic bonds that will be enslaved for a lifetime. The ego thrives on a person's pride regarding patriotic nationality.    Within the book of John in the Greek Scriptures, John writes that the "truth will set you free", a simple verse, although difficult to understand. Understanding the powerful trap of attachments, and detaching oneself from the patriotic nationality of the culture can be pivotal. Letting go of your pride of the country will release the emotional baggage a person carries, because of their attachment to the country, which includes the shame of that country. Being no part of this world is what Jesus taught. Upon the direction of the Almighty Divine and the Sacred Spirits, whom is all knowing and all-wise, will be the only way a person can be set free. Only, if their karma and destiny points in that direction.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-2227434910651919432?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/8PV8bBGMYJE" height="1" width="1"/>

Enslavement - Cult Ideology.

910 Words : Posted 03.03.08

Enslavement: a subject the lower entities thrive on. Enslaving humans is a contract of energy for the lower entities. Human eyes can only see what is in front of them and nothing beyond. Men have lived at a higher level of consciousness, although people of a low level of consciousness has taken what these wise men taught and turned their teaches into a controlling, enslaved religion with severe cult ideology. Everybody has a certain path. An advanced spiritual student most likely has been involved in a religion, although has left the unclean empire of the wicked entities. Cult ideology is a common quality along with extreme programing from a young age which can keep, and has kept, the person enslaved for a life time. Experiencing first hand a high demanding cult religion, the common aspects of the enslavement, inner core programing, and ideology, is related with every religion; each religion just has different levels of enslavement next to freedom. Nevertheless, each religious cult uses fear, guilt and shame which adds to the deception of the mind and can keep a person stuck like glue with a strong attachment to their religion. Having an opportunity to first hand learn about the Muslim culture in Egypt, the observation has been strikingly similar to the high demanding cult of Jehovah Witnesses - The Watchtower. Children raised within each religion have been programed to the core. Indoctrinated within the human heart the majority will never be able to deprogram themselves and clear their-self from the ingrained ideology. Both groups are not open to any new thought or any truths beyond what is taught from their dogma. When a person's religion or dogma is threatened the person reacts emotionally because of their strong attachment due to their upbringing of being programmed. With every religion this is the case, just with different levels of programming, they're all related to mind-control, cult ideology, enslavement. Nevertheless, a measure of truth resides in each religion. Regarding the separation of the sexes the two religions are some what similar. The watchtower forbids sex outside of marriage, they frown on a person marrying outside of the religion. For the most part single men hang out with men, or if two people of the opposite sex do hang out, the watchtower would prefer a third party to escort. The Muslim culture of Egypt is much more extreme, forbidding normal interaction of the sexes in public, not even allowing people to date because of their fear of being shamed if the women have any type of sex before marriage. Although this doesn't necessary apply in the big cities of Egypt Each religion, along with the rest, believe that they are the special group who has "Gods" favor, which you will be destroyed or go to hell if you don't believe or follow. All religions thrive on this ego-driven ideology. Each religion uses fear, guilt, and shame to keep the members glued in the ideology; even when a person may leave the organization or fail to worship, the person most likely will still believe the controlling ideology. All religions use the idea of doom which causes a person to be dogmatically positioned into slavery through fear. Enslavement is what religion is all about, the high demanding religious cults, that people truly believe from their heart, have their members enslaved the deepest. The lower entities who receive their worship through the religion thrive and live off of the slavery. Slavery through culture, group ideology, one's emotions, and of course, the religion itself; enslaving humans is the main goal of the wicked ones of darkness. Enslavement works through culture, which a culture is an entity in itself, wielding powerful control over the ignorant, the weak who are forced to apply the laws of the culture which enslaves the human. Many people who are born into a culture of slavery with little or no freedom is directly because of their karma. A person who is born into a controlling religion which programs the child with an ideology that glues onto the core - that person is receiving their karma. Within many religious cultures - that person can only strive for freedom within, without any open expression, unless they move to a free country - if they are poor they will be stuck for a lifetime. Nevertheless, each person is being maneuvered (according to their karma) for the time of the man-of-lawlessness to arrive upon this earth in the flesh. At that time each person will decided from their inner heart which kingdom they are attracted to. The children of the light will be tested. Each person has a destiny - their own path they must live - many upon many in this world - ruled by the wicked ones, are meant to be enslaved. The path to the separation of the light and darkness can be a test. Endurance, patience, and long-suffering, are qualities which will persevere.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-7452999619657748256?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/zOy01EQSlcU" height="1" width="1"/>

Commandments - Cultural.

813 Words : Posted 02.13.08

Moses taught within the book of Genesis that it is a commandment to respect and apply the culture of the land your living or traveling through. This is, of course, if the culture does not break any of the commandments such as giving worship to the lower entities or involved in Idolatry. Within some cultures of the world, or all the cultures of the world, have an influence of religion which plays into the culture pointed at enslaving the people of the culture. Breaking cultural rules within some cultures would be like taking a knife to your stomach and cutting out your liver; within some free cultures, a person can break a cultural rule and get away with it. Why, you may be asking, would the Almighty Divine allow such wickedness and enslavement of humans in this world? Due to the fact that all humans were once a formless spirit - each person went into the human cycle with their own karma. Many spirits, due to the corruption of the darkness, went into the human cycle after being corrupted, thus living out karmaic bonds for some will be harsh. Some people may be born into a village with a culture of control, programing on a deep level, that the person will be stuck like glue for a lifetime. Living in mud and dirt, never having a way out because of poor economics, due to the poor family the person is born into. Hence, the person will be subjected to the brain-washing elements of the culture and religion. Strong religious beliefs will prevail, although since this world is heading for the time of the man of lawlessness, many people, (through personal observation) even raised within a strong programming religion may not have an active interest, although still claim to be a part of the religion that their were raised in because the culture demands it. The main aim of the lower entities is to enslave humans in whatever way they can. Within the western world a person may be enslaved by their own emotions, economic debt, fear; such fear which roots out faith. Even though a person may have an active "faith" their religion will prove false to its power. For people that are enslaved to the attachment of religion - they will always have a void within. The inner person will suffer without true intimacy with the Formless Almighty, who has Sacred Spirits who are faithful and are incorruptible because they went through the human cycle. The King and Master Jesus will send his helpers - The Sacred Spirits to teach, if a person makes the effort. Karma is what dictates, nothing else. There are whole entire countries that don't have a clue about the concept and truth of Karma. Does the Almighty Divine favor any one country? non-sense, only individuals who apply the commandments and find Divine favor. Those who truly apply the commandments are the ones who are showing love to their creator which is a monotheistic love to the one Divine Creator of life. All the Enlightened Sages taught this same concept to avoid giving worship to the lower entities or other gods. These other gods have never changed from the days of antiquities. Ishtar equals Hathor in Egypt, which is the same as Ashoreth in Cannan. Aumon of Egypt is the same as Baal of Cannan, and Bel of Babylon. These same lower entities receive the worship from humans today through every religion within the world. These powerful lower entities along with their cohorts thrive off of worship, negative emotion, selfishness, obsessions, compulsions, and bazaar wicked attitudes from humans. Humans living with a low level of consciousness are aflected with demented thinking. There are different levels of demented thinking in each culture. The education of life can point to wisdom, which in turn wisdom will lead the person into the truth, only if the person's karmic bonds have that destiny. Destiny can be a paradox, difficult to understand. Wisdom is a quality that can only be granted from above. Wisdom can be taught from experience, although it may take a person a lifetime which will only be wisdom of this world. Freedom within, freedom from this world and being no part of it takes effort. Taking in Knowledge takes effort. Wisdom and common sense will only be granted from above if effort is put forth. Clearing oneself from demented, negative thinking, must be accomplished.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-4511361949004963731?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/CGvt_BmtTyQ" height="1" width="1"/>

Grasp the Freedom.

553 Words : Posted 12.29.07

Throughout life, people have the ability to learn and educate themselves considering they are from a country that allows freedom of education. For a person that is raised without being able to read or write - this person is living out their karmic bonds – a result from their past life. For a person that cannot read or write, that person will be subjected to the rules and laws of the culture. The religion that dominates the country is what the illiterate person raised in that country will only understand.    For a person who does not take life seriously and is squandering their time by being enmeshed with this world, although is educated, that person will be subjected to learning through experience, one mere lifetime is not enough. Some people have to go through harsh experiences, because discipline is a teaching tool. The belief system of a person is related to the country or up bringing, the person is raised in. The western world is granted with freedoms, although Christianity has dominated the west for 1000 years with an iron fist; despite this heavy handedness up until the nineteenth century - the freedom to choose is abundant and respected for the most part. Throughout America, a person can study or even practice, openly, a belief or religion and nobody will stop the person. This type of freedom has allowed some people who have come to learn that religion resides in the darkness, to find the spirituality within them, and to act in love and not selfishness toward the stranger. Anyone that has detached from religion, and who pursues spirituality and actively studies scripture, this person will benefit in the end.    People that are raised in a closed-minded, programming culture, with religion dominating the behaviors and belief system of the country - this person will never understand the idea of karma. Without any understanding of karmic bonds and the rebirth cycle, the person that is under the control of religious dogma through programming from childhood, this person will reside in confusion, especially for a poor person who is a strong, active, religious person. Many people relate a blessing with wealth, family, material items - a misdirection and perception.    Each religion breaks the first two commandments - because the practice of religion results in Idolatry. Cunning and shrewd the lower entities are; the rulers of this world are wicked to the core. Deep attachments, strong unmovable positioning within culture and religion - many people are subjected and enslaved within many countries of this world. If you find yourself living in a country that allows you to go to a bookstore, learn, and study any religion you like because your heart is seeking the truth; find the time, or better yet make the time. Squandering your time may result in karma in your next life without having such an opportunity.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-7725908286411979822?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/9zW_Cw6beGo" height="1" width="1"/>

Awareness of our True Source.

567 Words : Posted 10.20.07

Within the world we see all sorts of people, different races, cultures, ethnic origins, tribes of people. The one reason that keeps people within their own culture is the different languages. No matter how different a person, cultural habits, or tradition may be, one common aspect is reveled; we are all human beings - the bottom line. People that are demented into observing differences among other people easily fall into the trap of judging and a critical ego driven attitude. The ego always strives to be better so in turn the ego enjoys gossiping and putting others down, manifesting the person's faults, deluding themselves - believing that they are superior or special. The ways of the ego results in rebirth in the human cycle. No matter where a person might live within the world; within each human being resides the inner person - the true formless source or Self. Respect for the fellowman: no matter of skin color, culture, ethnic tribe, should be a behavior each person should strive to attain. Respect; having an interest in the other person, instead of oneself, is one key to cultivating a relationship with the Almighty Divine, and a start to circumcising the heart which Moses taught. The behaviors and attitudes of a human are affected within the culture that they live, some cultures are healthier then others. People can easily, and do, end up in unhealthy ruts which produce selfishness, egoism, postionality; due to the fact that is what many cultures are based on, greed and selfishness coupled with shame and fear. A person that pursues negativity, that person will face negative karma. Each culture produces a belief system within the upbringing of the person. Respect and consideration of a person's ignorance (which is a common phenomena) will salt the words of truth when spoken. Understanding their level of consciousness and having a deep realization that each person is on their own path and each person has been given their own destiny; respect and giving your fellowman the honer that they deserve will flow from the heart. The person will be able to look beyond outward appearances and be able to observe that everyone is formless in spirit which issues out of the mouth of the Almighty Divine Godhead, Creator of All. The question must be asked; if we are all of spirit just in human form, why is it that some people are of a wicked nature? The bottom line - it depends what a person did in the spirit world before they went into the human cycle. Considering each person has lived lifetime after lifetime, each person experiences a variety of cultures, races, and gender. The inner person - formless spirit - is what matters. The human is affected from what they did as a spirit in the spirit world - good or bad. This truth has been hidden deeply from the minds and hearts of humanity.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-3416794346839863210?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/MO6viO-Kpp0" height="1" width="1"/>

Opening the Eyes of Blindness.

1972 Words : Posted 09.19.07

Throughout life a clear observation can be noted: a person can read all they like but never come to understand the depths of the truth, a person can be in religion all their life but never understand the depths of the truth, even if a person rids themselves of a religion; a person could still study all their life but never come to understand the depths of the truth. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/study-tools.html">Taking in knowledge</a> is the originating method to understanding. Although the question must be asked; what is the operative prerequisite which will cause a blessing by having the eyes opened to perceive the accurate truth and live it? Isaiah promptly prophesied in chapter 6:8-10, <blockquote>Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" He said, "Go and tell this people: " 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed." </blockquote>Jeremiah wrote about the same concept. Both Prophets are writing regarding the waywardness of the Israelites and the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/results-of-idolatry.html">results of Idolatry</a>. They of course are applying it in their day, although, both prophesies have proved true down to our day. Note Jeremiah Chapter 5:19-22, <blockquote>And when the people ask, ‘Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?’ you will tell them, ‘As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own.’ “Announce this to the house of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah: Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear: Should you not fear me?” declares the LORD. “Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it.</blockquote>Due to the fact that the Israelites blended and intermarried with the Canaanites; the two became one. Consequently, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/judaism.html">Judaism</a> came out of Babylon attached to worshiping <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/identity-of-wicked-one.html">Baal, the wicked one</a>, breaking the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/first-two-commandments.html">first and second commandment</a>. Religion is a form of Idolatry. The result of the failure of the Israelites have effected the whole world. Because of this, the result of the captivity in Babylon and the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/Religion">formation of religion</a>, as we see it today, has caused the masses of the public to be blinded and deaf to the truth. The masses of the public are not meant to understand. Note what Matthew wrote in chapter 13, Jesus taught in parables for this very reason; Matthew also quotes Isaiah in verses 10-17, <blockquote>The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?" He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak to them in parables: Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. </blockquote>Considering the masses of people of this earth are not meant to understand, and that a veil as a covering, is hanging over their eyes so they cannot see; what would a person need to do, to be able to understand the truth? An inner motivation wanting to know the truth is essential. Overcoming one's fear in order to accept the deep levels of the truth is also essential, fear is a trap and stop's people in their path, the only way to overcome fear is by facing it. Once a person has rid themselves of all types of Idolatry and overcome their fear; humility is a prerequisite. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/humility-action-of-lowering-oneself.html">Humility</a> is related with <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/transcending-ego.html">transcending the ego</a>. Each person needs to let go of playing the victim, being in control, and step down of their self-centered highchair. Within this process the person needs to learn what love is by helping out <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-regarding-stranger.html">the stranger</a>: giving of your time, not having a concern for anything in return, changing your perception of money and start giving money to the poor; without reference to any type of charity - giving directly to a person in need of food or clothing, doing these things in secret without telling anybody. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/concept-of-forgiveness.html">Forgiving</a> your fellowman, clearing out negative emotion. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/jesus-anointed-one.html">Jesus</a> clearly taught doing good works in secret is what is noticed from the Almighty Divine; Matthew chapter 6:1-4, <blockquote>"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.</blockquote>This human behavior is a prerequisite for a person to granted a blessing. Jesus clearly taught action is involved which comes from <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/heart-of-man.html">the heart</a>, next to foolish words. A person that is arrogant and deluded by their ego will want to draw attention to themselves regarding such "acts of righteousness" which their "acts" won't mean a thing. An arrogant person may be very knowledgeable in the scriptures, although the arrogant person is deluded to the core, believing their own eyes and actions, thinking they are a special person, all actions are based on attention for one-self. Paul writes to Timothy regarding the behavior and delusion of the arrogant. 2 Timothy 3:1-5, <blockquote>But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.</blockquote>For a person that is involved in those types of behaviors; that person will never understand or see the truth, nor be able to live the way of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/way-of-non-attachment.html">non-attachment</a>, the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-action-vs-word.html">action of love</a>, which is righteousness. Many of the billions of people in the earth have a form of godly devotion, although their behavior and ego driven arrogance proves false to its power. Consequently, people are blinded and deaf to the point of never being able to ascertain the depths of spirituality, which the cause stems from the captivity of Babylon which has caused an effect: idolatry, oppressing the poor, selfishness, adultery, dishonest tongue, greed, lovers of pleasure, dishonest gain, without interest for the truth, bearing false witness, coveting, complainers, a non-listening ear, disbelief, materialism. The <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/power-of-darkness.html">power of darkness</a> is cunning, powerful, subtle, and wicked. Cultivating the qualities <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-likeness-righteousness-vs-wickedness.html">in the likeness</a> of the light by using action within a person's life, is the only way, a person will be able to ascertain the accurate truth, retain what is read, and live it. The Almighty Divine, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Source">Grand Source</a> of all is the only one who can grant a clear vision and opened ears to the diligent truth seeker. For a person to be able to clearly ascertain and understand the depths of what <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/teachings-of-moses.html">Moses was teaching</a> in itself; a blessing must be granted. The motivations of the heart can be changed by circumcising the heart through action. The Almighty Divine can help change the heart, because the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/all-creation-within-as-one.html">Creator resides within</a>. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-4588134281761889553?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/0BSpkazkupY" height="1" width="1"/>

The Freedom of Choice.

1066 Words : Posted 09.17.07

Freedom of Choice is different in context than Free Will. Due to karmic bonds free will is limited. Each person's life is mapped out based on destiny according to a person's <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">karma</a>. If it's a person's fate to end up disabled due to their past life - then that is what will happen. The Creator is in context - karma. Everyone gets what they deserve - good or bad. Choice has been granted to each individual; choice between good and bad. A person has the choice to help <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-regarding-stranger.html">the stranger</a> or act selfishly toward the stranger. A person has the choice to <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/study-tools.html">study</a> spiritual material or keep it on the shelve. In this way each person has the freedom to choose. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/heart-of-man.html">The heart</a> is the seat of motivation, each person is affected from their past life according to what they did good or bad. The heart can be changed, which changing the motivations of the heart is based on our ability to choose. Choosing to take in knowledge, to understand the depths of what <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-action-vs-word.html">love</a> is; is a choice which resides within. Considering that the eyes of our Creator are everywhere and each person is tied to karmic bonds; each person should use discernment and astuteness when choosing. A reason for considering decision making as important is because there are consequences regarding a foolish or wise choice. Within the Hebrew Scriptures there are a mutitude of examples of individuals making choices which ended in wisdom or foolishness. Proverbs states at chapter 11:24,<blockquote>One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.</blockquote> The freedom to choose is exemplified within the story of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/lessons-of-king-david.html">King David</a> and King Solomon. During the time of King David, was a time of battle between David and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/lessons-of-king-saul.html">King Saul</a>. Joab, David's chief commander, ended up murdering Abner and Amasa during peacetime. Notice Chapter 2 of 1 Kings starting in verse 5-6 <blockquote>"Now you yourself know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to the two commanders of Israel's armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet. Deal with him according to your wisdom, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace. </blockquote>King David choose to <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/concept-of-forgiveness.html">forgive</a> and manifest long-suffering toward those who were wicked toward him. David gave the choice to his son King Solomon. David also forgave Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses when David went to Mahanaim. David again chose to forgive and left it up to his son King Solomon. In 1 Kings chapter 2:13-46 clearly shows in what way King Solomon chose to execute justice among the enemies of King David. David chose to show love to his enemies and put up with their wickedness. King Solomon chose to exercise justice, which firmly established his kingship. Looking in 1 Kings chapter 3:4-5, The Divine appeared to King Solomon and told Solomon to ask for what he would want the Divine to give him. King Solomon was faced with a choice. Solomon decided to ask for wisdom, which was the best choice. Freedom of choice has been granted to the creation regarding being able to choose between good and bad: helping the stranger, giving of our time and money, studying scripture, leaving a religion, detaching oneself from entanglements of this world, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/being-no-part-of-this-world.html">being no part of this world</a> are choices. Circumcising the heart and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/transcending-ego.html">transcending the ego,</a> starts from the motivation of the heart, although, to continually pursue the transcendence of the ego becomes a choice. Jesus clearly taught that it is a choice for a person to live the narrow road next to the broad road in Matthew chapter 7 verse 13-14, <blockquote>Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.</blockquote>The Almighty Creator granted choice to the creation - spirit and human. Karmic bonds that a person experiences within their life is a result from their bad or good choices from their past life. The ego will play the victim to keep the person deluded. Nevertheless, once a person learns the concept between karma and choice - that person would want to make wise choices, starting immediately within their life, which will provide good karma and blessings from the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Source">Divine Source</a>. Choose for yourself to seek wisdom which leads to righteousness. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-6198653025868804258?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/roOHSr7eJkQ" height="1" width="1"/>

The Darkness: Within Different Context.

2371 Words : Posted 08.28.07

In the last article, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/power-of-darkness.html">The Power of the Darkness</a>, different types of the darkness was revealed. Sin, or darkness, as a type of power which wields control over a person. Darkness as a place, such as the resurrection from what Daniel taught, Daniel 12:2 and Matthew wrote at 25:46, which Jesus referred to, throwing the person outside into the darkness. Darkness in the context as delusion, and deception. Darkness such as behavior, greed, desire, envy, jealousy. The Bhagavad Gita teaches three gates of hell, or darkness; desire, greed, and anger; a person that is overcome and controlled by these behaviors will live a type of hellish life, if not in the present, then in their next life. The different types of darkness in each context is what is important to understand. The most common type of darkness is a person being born in this world and living a worldly life, never seeking any light. The worldly life is very common, everyone has experienced the worldly life through past lives, even the enlighten sage had to come out of the darkness, although digging for truth shines light on the darkness of this world. Many people that are in religion are under the deception of the darkness, nevertheless, members of religion may experience and understand some truth, although, the dogma of the religion has caused a vale covering the eyes from the truth. Many people that don't have any interest in religion, just live in the world, stay active in the pursuit of money, materialism, and such things, which is of the darkness. Many people live good lives, comfortable, just not free of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/three-natures-that-dominate.html">the natures </a>of darkness, which results in the rebirth cycle. From the human eye, the observation may seem people under the deception have a hold on life, the darkness resides the deception of a lie. Each person experiences their <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">karma</a> lifetime after lifetime living in the darkness of deception. Consequently, at the Judgement time, each person will have to make a choice. This whole earth in under the power of deception is because the wicked one's rule this earth. Refer to the articles <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/identity-of-wicked-one.html">Identity of the Wicked One</a> and the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/rulership-of-this-world.html">Rulership of this World,</a> for more information in this subject. The context of darkness to take a close inspection of - is the power that Moses taught, using the phrase sin, at Genesis 4:6, and the type of evil the Buddha taught about. This particular power of the darkness is concerned with one goal, ensnaring the person under its power. This darkness, in its context, is a power which works within, also with an outward influence from the lower entities. There is a "point of no return" when it comes to this type of darkness. This power of the darkness thrives on complete control through obsession, compulsion, addiction. The power of addiction can be observed through drug addicts and alcoholics. The addiction becomes, not just a neuro-chemical (brain) problem, but a bio-chemical (body) problem, which for the heroin addict has to resort to methadone to stop the heroin once the addiction progresses to a bio-chemical, systematic level. Some addicts use; to the point of no return. They subject themselves to slavery of the chemical substance. The causal person who becomes addicted to any type of chemical or behavior; once the person quits and gets through the withdrawal, the person has to continually say NO. Stopping the desire, immediately, to avoid returning to the addictive behavior is essential for long term success. Nowadays, the plentiful amount of addictions in different forms, exist, to trap and ensnare a person for the control of the lower entities energetic needs. Food, materialism/shopping, drugs, sugar, nicotine, stimulants in the form of beverages, alcohol, sex, co-dependent relationships, and the list goes on. Addiction is a form of darkness, which relates with the emotion of desire. To clearly understand this deeper level of darkness and the power behind it - the profile of serial killers can shed some light on the context of this type of darkness. The subject of the profile of serial killers reveals the predator in human form. Although, how could this come about in a person's life? The BTK killer was a respectable pastor in a <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/revelling-christianity.html">christian</a> church, his community looked up to him, he read from the bible. Ted Bundy was a law student and involved in politics. Jeffery Dalmer seemed to have come from a normal family. From the interviews of Jeffery Dalmer, Ted Bundy, and the BTK killer, they all had two things in common within their experience of serial killings; their obsessive compulsion didn't happen overnight, and they past the point of no return. The obsession to kill started with desire, which was drawn out over time. Once a person pursues their desire, and dwells on the negative; the desire will become fertile and hatch like an egg. Once the desire fills up in the heart and becomes emotional, there is no stopping the action. Doing what is good to conquer the bad is required before the desire is drawn out - to stomp out the desire, because the desire becomes evil, dark, and wicked. From the interviews of serial killers they all said after the first killing, the next one was easier, then after a certain time, or killing, they said that the obsession and compulsion was uncontrollable. They had no control over killing the innocent nor any conscience of their behavior. The point of no return. Consequently, the power of the darkness took full control of them, which certain lower entities draw energy from the human wicked behavior, attaching to the human behavior and thriving on the emotion. The lower entities enjoy bringing harm to the innocent. Utterly wicked. The lowest depths. The rituals and worship of religion is no match for the power of the darkness - in the case of the BTK killer. The reason is because religion is under the power of the darkness. The Catholic molesting priests is fine example of the grip the darkness possess. Notice what James taught in Chapter 1:13-15, <blockquote>When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.</blockquote>The Nazi regime and the branch of the SS is also an example of how the power the darkness can control humans. Within deep study of the profile of the SS, many of the members were common people, bakers, carpenters, doctors, judges, store clerks, farmers. Being drilled with a racist ideology, and an ideology of one's oath and duty, the SS slaughtered innocent civilians along with innocent prisoner's of war. The entrainment of the energetic ideology of the organization of the SS was enough, in itself, to create killing fanatics. The ethnic cleansing of Bosnia and the slaughter in Rwanda are other examples of the power of the darkness, a power which controls a person, or group of people, into utter slavery. The depth of the power of the darkness are murderers. Darkness as a place or kingdom? Jesus clearly taught that there will be a place outside of the new ego-less earth called the darkness. Jesus taught that many upon many will show themselves at the judgement time; Jesus will say get away from me you workers of lawlessness. Greedy workers of lawlessness will be thrown outside into the darkness, where there will be gnashing of the teeth. This is the hell that has been taught, the difference is the context that was taught. The context originating from the Catholic Church is that after death, a person that has did wicked deeds, will burn in some fiery hell for eternity. Absolute falsehood. The context of a separate place is correct, although, this place (the kingdom of the darkness) will not exist until after the judgement time. This place of darkness will be of shame, fear, arrogance, slavery, greed, hate, control, selfishness, a place where there will be gnashing of the teeth; this is the fiery furnace that Jesus is referring to. People that end up there will be in human form. Why is this? Because this is the only way the lower entities can get energy; from negative human emotion. What will sustain the kingdom of the darkness? The power of the darkness! Scriptural references: Matthew 8:5-13, Matthew 13:36-43 & 47-50, Matthew 22:1-14, Matthew 24:45-51, Matthew 25:14-46, Luke 13:22-30. Term hell the translators took from three Greek words that they translate into hell as follows: haides hah'-dace, the word refers to a place unseen. geena gheh'-en-nah, a valley in Jerusalem where they use to burn garbage. tartaroo tar-tar-o'-o, this is a place, or jail, Jude referred to where the spirits are jailed that materialized as humans and had sex with women before the flood. Jude 6 & 1 Peter 3:18-20. Compared to the ego-less new earth and new heavens, the kingdom of the darkness will be a fiery garbage pit. A burning punishment which is a figurative sense of the concept; such as the term "destruction" doesn't mean utterly destroyed to a non-existent state. A person can live in a living hell in the world today, or a person can be destroyed to their ruin, although, still exist. Refer to the articles The Divine Plan: Part 1, 2, 3, and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/man-of-lawlessness-judgement-day.html">The Man of Lawlessness: Judgement day</a>. The Apostle Peter does not hold back from writing the hard hitting truth in 2 Peter chapter 2, starting at verse 10, <blockquote>This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness. These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-4640241945754434486?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/UqKh1de-lwc" height="1" width="1"/>

The Power of the Darkness.

2049 Words : Posted 08.26.07

<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-likeness-righteousness-vs-wickedness.html">Qualities of mankind</a> can very from one person to the other. Considering that the children of light lives with the children of darkness; positive and negative exist. The darkness thrives on the negative, which the wicked lower entities are focused and determined to hook humans into the negative darkness. Addictions, obsessions, compulsive behaviors - whatever way the lower entities can get a person stuck in a in hole, they will strive to accomplish. The Dhammapada teaches at chapter 9:1, <blockquote>Do not lose a moment of doing good. Protect your mind from evil. Whoever neglects doing good is inviting addiction to evil. </blockquote> The power of the darkness is a powerful negative force; for a person that does not fight against the darkness or evil, can easily fall victim to the utter slavery for which it produces. The Dhammapada continues at verse 7, <blockquote>Don't underestimate evil, saying, " It can't happen to me" as a pot slowly fills up with water, drop by drop, so does the fool, little by little, become full of evil.</blockquote> Darkness, evil, and sin, is taught as a certain type of power within scripture, a simple hebrew scripture teaches a profound lesson at Genesis chapter 4:6-7. <blockquote> Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." -NIV</blockquote>Notice how sin was crouching at the door of Cain, and it - desired him. Moses writes that Cain was suppose to master it (sin) by doing what is good. Of course the phrase "doing what is good" is in the form of simplicity. For a person to understand the depths of a phrase "doing what is good" - will require deep study. The way this verse was written; was written with the idea that "sin" is a force in itself. Throughout life, any deep thinking person by using an introspective, observation of discernment, should come to learn that there is a negative force, which continually thrives at mastering a person with control. Cain became jealous and dwelt on the desire of being better - an ego characteristic. Consequently, Cain murdered Able, notice what John wrote at 1 John 10-12, <blockquote>In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous. -NKJV</blockquote> The power of the darkness, which stems from the lower entities, will keep the person locked into slavery: filled with with negativity, going from bad to worse, this person takes the easy route, living a life of selfish debauchery, engulfed in excessive orgies, lazy, living in utter ignorance, subjected to the emotions of envy and jealousy. The power of the darkness stems from the lower entities because they thrive on absolute ego, which is the source of darkness. A truly demonic type of person, is a person who enjoys bringing harm to the innocent. It's the inner enjoyment of wrongdoing which the darkness (sin) enmeshes the person. This is the lowest level of darkness. There are different levels and types of darkness. Consequently, the power of the darkness traps a person, living a lower level of consciousness, which causes delusion. Proverbs 4:19 teaches, <blockquote> But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.</blockquote> Matthew writing what Jesus taught when he walked the earth in Chapter 8:5-13, referring to the Roman Centurion which had strong faith just knowing that if Jesus said the word his servant would be healed. Jesus points to darkness as a place, starting in verse 10, <blockquote>When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."</blockquote>Matthew 22:1-14, The story of the wedding banquet is written in the same context, throw the person into the darkness. Matthew 25:14-30, again the same context regarding the darkness. The darkness is a powerful force, which takes strength and power from within to conquer, which relates to actions based on love. If a person does not work at conquering the darkness, they could end up in the kingdom of darkness, which refers to during and after the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/man-of-lawlessness-judgement-day.html">judgement time</a>. The darkness, along with the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/transcending-ego.html">ego</a>, is crafty, cunning, subtle; crafty to the point of deluding the person that they are doing what is right, which results in hypocrisy: never searching within and cutting out the corruption. Due to the<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/results-of-idolatry.html"> results of Idolatry</a>, and fall of the Israelites into <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/judaism.html">Judaism</a>, this <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/being-no-part-of-this-world.html">whole world</a> is under the power of the darkness: government, every single religion, the media, international bankers, secret societies. Consequently, each person is born within the darkness of this world. For a person that was raised within a religion, or by parents on a spiritual level, that person may have an inner drive for truth. Through observation, most people face the issue of "God" and spirituality within their adolescent, young adulthood experience. The determining factor will be an deep inner drive, and desire for truth, regardless of their upbringing. A deep inner drive for truth can pull the person out of the darkness of deception through active seeking of knowledge. Religion does serve as a initial path for the young person or anyone, however, for a person to deepen one's knowledge and enlightenment - after a certain amount of time growing within a religion, the person will want to leave the cauldron, idolatrous practice of religion. A person that pursues an accurate knowledge of the Almighty Creator, and pulls out of the deception of this world, that person will find themselves a stark contrast compared to a person who is ensnared in the dark deception of this world. Thus, Proverbs 10:23 states, <blockquote>A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom.</blockquote> The Bhagavad Gita explains the contrast between the light (Divine trait), next to the darkness (Demonic trait) <blockquote>"Fearlessness, purity of heart, persistence in the devotion of knowledge, generosity, self-control, nonviolence, gentleness, candor, integrity, disengagement, joy in the study of scriptures, compassion for all beings, modesty, patience, a tranquil mind, dignity, kindness, courage, a benevolent, loving heart".</blockquote>These are Divine qualities and traits, which each person should strive to attain and cultivate within their heart. The Bhagavad Gita continues, explaining Demonic traits of the darkness, paraphrased from two different translations chapter 16. <blockquote>Hypocrisy, insolence, anger, cruelty, ignorance, lazy, conceit. The darkness does not realize what should and what should not be done; there is no purity of heart, no virtue, no truth inside. Driven by insatiable lusts, drunk on the arrogance of power, deluded, their actions are foul with self seeking, tormented by a vast anxiety that continues until their death, convinced that the gratification of desire is life's sole aim, bound by a hundred shackles of hope, enslaved by their greed, they squander their time dishonestly piling up mountains of wealth. "Today I got this desire, tomorrow I will get that one; all these riches are mine, and soon I will have even more. Already I have killed these enemies, and soon I will kill the rest; I am the master, the enjoyer, successful, happy, and strong, noble, and rich, and famous. Who on earth is my equal? I will worship, give alms, and rejoice". Thus think these ignorant fools. Bewildered by endless thinking, entangled in the net of delusion, addicted to desire, they plunge themselves into the filthy, painful hell of their own foul minds. Self-centered, stubborn, filled with all insolence of wealth, they go through outward forms of worship, lip service, but their hearts are elsewhere. Because they fully have given themselves to the dark force of egoism, insolence, desire, and wrath, these cruel beings loath the Divine, who dwells in their own bodies. The deny the presence of the Divine within themselves and in others. Rebirth after rebirth stuck in the cycle of death. </blockquote> The Gita mentions about the three gates of darkness, any one gate can draw a person down into the net of delusion. The three gates of hell: Desire, Greed, and Anger. Thus, the Apostle Paul describes the opposite traits in his own way in Galatians chapter 5:19-23. <blockquote>Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.</blockquote> The Prophet Isaiah warns the children of the darkness in chapter 5:20 <blockquote>Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.</blockquote> A few verses of King David praising and thanking the Divine through a song at 2 Samuel Chapter 22. <blockquote> 5 "The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. 6 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. 26 "To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, 27 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. 28 You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low. 29 You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light.</blockquote>Seek and don't give up. Circumcise the heart. Conquer the evil with the good.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-2099087307420995810?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/8eq9CbokaxU" height="1" width="1"/>

The Destructive Tongue.

1517 Words : Posted 08.08.07

Within the article, <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/identity-of-wicked-one.html">The identity of the Wicked One</a> was taught that the term Satan defines as Accuser and the term Devil defines as Slanderer. Anybody can be an accuser and a slanderer by how they speak to another person. A person's tongue can cause, and has caused, detrimental damage for any existence, spirit or human. The tongue can also speak words of wisdom, and can speak words to glorify the Divine. Luke writing at chapter 6:45, which Jesus taught; <blockquote>The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.</blockquote>Good or bad can be stored in the heart. Consequently, the mouth speaks from what has been stored. For a person to be able to identify what is in a person's heart is to listen to what they talk about. The majority of the public talks about materialism, money, the world, which relates to their <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/three-natures-that-dominate.html">predominate nature</a>. Understanding the seriousness of what damage the tongue can cause to an individual's spirituality; a person should wisely consider the way they use their tongue. <blockquote>Psalm 10:7 His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. Psalm 12:3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just. Psalm 52:2 Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit. Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.</blockquote> The Hebrew scriptures are full of verses referring to how the tongue can be used, which is a manifestation of the inner heart. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/teachings-of-moses.html">Moses, the man</a> that wrote down the commandments for mankind, which is based on faith and love, taught on how we should use our tongue through a story format. In the book of numbers chapter 10:11 continues the story of the travels of the Israelites from Exodus chapter 34. After Moses orally explained the commandments to the Israelites, then went back up the mountain to get the rock slabs of the 10 primary commandments; the Israelites made a calf which broke the first two commandments. Moses knew that the majority of the Israelites had selfish wicked hearts. Once they left the mountain we can learn how the Israelites used their tongue, according to their heart condition. In Exodus chapters 16, 17, and 18, most likely happened after they left Mount Sinai. The Jewish scribes totally manipulated the chronology of the Exodus of the Israelites. The reason is that the Israelites plundered the Egyptians, which they would have had plenty of food and water all the way to the mountain. They traveled straight to Mount Sinai. Starting in Numbers chapter 11, the Israelites lacked faith when they ran out of food and water. Consequently, they complained. They used their tongue unwisely, which they did not benefit. The Israelites continually tested Moses by speaking out in a wicked way, manifesting a lack of faith. Numbers chapter 11:1 <blockquote>Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the LORD, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.</blockquote> People that complain in life angers the Almighty Divine, which causes instant karma for the complainer. During the days of the Exodus, the Israelites were put to death because of their complaints. The story of the quail is a fine example of the results of complaining which caused their craving. Numbers 11:4-13; Verse 10 states: <blockquote> Moses heard the people of every family wailing, each at the entrance to his tent. The LORD became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. </blockquote> Continuing in verse 18-23 and concluding starting in verse 31, shows the end result what happened to the Israelites regarding complaining, which caused craving and greed. Note they gathered the quail all day long, plus the next day, not just what they needed for a meal or a day. The consenquesnces; Numbers 11:33.<blockquote> But while the meat was still between their teeth and before it could be consumed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague. Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.</blockquote> There are people that have a hard time understanding, why would "The LORD" be so vengeful? The reason is these people saw with their own eyes; the power of the Almighty Divine - what happened in Egypt and parting of the red sea. They still didn't manifest any faith toward the one that is formless - The Almighty Divine. Nowadays people still receive their karma instantly, because they complain, which can be easily observed by a person of discernment. Moses did not come out and say, "Do Not Complain" he taught this through a story format. It is certainly a commandment to be mindful of. Chapter 12 of the book of numbers Aaron and Miriam accused Moses for taking a Cushite woman for a wife. In the Hebrew, Cushite means Ethiopian. The Anger of the Divine was expressed toward Aaron and Miriam because they spoke against Moses, the chosen one and servant of the Divine. Consequently, Miriam was turned into a leper. The only reason she was healed after seven days is because Moses interceded on her behalf. The Buddha taught in the Dhammapada Chapter 18:12,13; <blockquote>Whoever in the world takes life-murders, tells lies with the tongue, steals, comments adultery, is addicted to drinking intoxicating liquors. Is digging up their very roots, even when alive.</blockquote> The exact same teaching as Moses and Jesus. A person's tongue can cause damage to one's spirituality. The Prophet Jeremiah continually denounced the Israelites because of telling lies and spreading falsehood, for nobody spoke the truth in Jerusalem. The ego-driven person manifests their arrogance through the tongue: bragging, drawing attention to oneself, boasts over falsehood, puffing themselves up through self-centeredness, playing the victim, accusing and slandering their fellow man. This type of person will never find success in spirituality. The Apostle James sums up the concept of using the tongue. <blockquote>Jam 3:5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. Jam 3:6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. Jam 3:8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. Jam 3:9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Peter Comments regarding the tongue. 1Pe 3:10 For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.</blockquote>James teaches in verse six; the tongue can corrupt a person's life and sets a person's whole life course on fire. The Greek word that they translate into fire, defines as "to cause a blaze". James is teaching the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">law of karma</a>. The world uses their tongue unwisely bringing harsh karma on top of their karma from their past life. The wise will use their tongue wisely and speak truth.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-8222699968829935842?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/4vbIoDpsRXI" height="1" width="1"/>

The Law of Karma.

1710 Words : Posted 08.04.07

This article relates with the article: <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/why-suffering.html">Why a Suffering World</a> and <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/law-of-karma.html">The Law of Karma</a>, and the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/concept-of-forgiveness.html">Concept of Forgiveness</a>. The subject of Karma tends to boggle the mines of people in the western world, and other countries that are based on <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/revelling-christianity.html">Christianity</a> and Islam. Countries that are rooted in <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/buddhism.html">Buddhism</a> and Hinduism have a better grasp on this teaching. People in certain parts of the western world that has an understanding of karma—most that do (from personal experience) do not follow a religion. Religions of <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/judaism.html">Judaism</a>, Islam, and Christianity are the cause of deception concerning the true teaching of karma and past lives. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/teachings-of-moses.html">Moses</a> taught about the curses connected to behaviors. He wrote in detail of what will befall an individual or group concerning certain <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/Human Behavior">human behaviors</a>. The Prophets taught the idea, teaching the Israelites what will befall them because of attaching themselves to <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/03/idolatry-of-stone-wood-and-rituals.html">Idolatry</a> and worshiping other gods—<a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/identity-of-wicked-one.html">Baal</a> and Ashtoreth/Ishtar. <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/jesus-anointed-one.html">Jesus</a>, Krishna, the Buddha, and the Apostle Paul all taught about karma, each person taught within the era and culture of the country. <blockquote>Karma defines as: The sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences. Destiny or fate, following as effect from cause.</blockquote>The teaching of the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/search/label/The Bhagavad Gita">Bhagavad Gita</a> is clear concerning past lives; <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/07/eternity.html">the spirit</a> never changes, but goes from womb to womb living multiple lives. Because of the past life, the person is subjected to karmic bones in the next life—good or bad. This teaching explains why there are people born disabled, blind, deaf, mentally and physically disabled; karma dictates the next life. The Bhagavad Gita and the teachings of the Buddha clearly teach the truth concerning a rebirth cycle. The teachings of Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets taught about karma, although discernment and wisdom are vital to recognize how they applied the definition. The Jewish scribes and the early church fathers (after the apostle's died) manipulated the Hebrew and Greek scriptures; the student may struggle to ascertain the context referred to karma. Matthew writing about the parables that Jesus taught—clearly, karma taught. Concerning the talents, for the ones that gained talents from the one talent were considered faithful. The one that hid his talent in a hole and gave it back because he was afraid was considered lazy. <blockquote>"Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest." 'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' Throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness?" — Matthew 25:24-30</blockquote>Jesus is clearly teaching the laws of karma, the result of laziness, and fear concerning the kingdom. Moses also taught about karmic bonds attached to behaviors of wickedness. <blockquote>And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation." — Exodus 34:6</blockquote>Clearly, those who are guilty will be punished. Moses teaches about the curses (that he wrote down) that will befall a person or group of people that break the commandments. In addition, the apostle Paul writes according to what a person sows, a person will reap—good or bad. <blockquote>However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: Each person will reap the consequences of their behavior, good or bad. —Deuteronomy 28:1</blockquote><blockquote>Do not be deceived, God is not to be mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. —Galatians 6:7-12</blockquote>Keep in mind that the word—corruption—is sometimes translated as destruction, and does not mean total destruction, defining as nonexistent. The early church fathers manipulated the meaning of words that changed the definition of the context. When the King James Version was released, the translators were totally under deception of Catholic dogma. No matter what a person does in life, it will catch up with them, if not in this life, then the next. Jesus clearly condemned the Pharisees and the karma they will receive. In the moment is the time to act wisely. Seek the truth. Learn to do what is good to conquer <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/power-of-darkness.html">the darkness</a>. Circumcise <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/08/heart-of-man.html">your heart </a>to a generous, giving heart, without a concern to receive anything in return. Go out of your way for <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-regarding-stranger.html">the stranger</a> without having a concern about your money or time. This is the depth of what Moses taught and that Jesus taught and supported. The Buddha, Krishna, the Prophets, and the Apostles taught karma. They taught within the era they lived and tailored their teaching according to the culture of the day. The word Karma did not even exist within the language of biblical Hebrew and Greek, including the word Ego. Humans of a lower level of consciousness could not understand the depths of what was taught from each enlightened sage. The result was the formation of an <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/05/results-of-idolatry.html">Idolatrous religion</a>. What made Jesus differently is that he came to the earth to be anointed as king of the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/destiny-of-children-of-light.html">children of light</a>. Jesus lived only one life, therefore, he had to suffer and die to be raised to heaven as King and Priest. Other enlightened humans that are few, compared to the billions of spirits—lived many lives and suffered in the body. If a person reaches a higher level of consciousness during their present life, after death that person will transform into a <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2008/06/spirit-world-sacred-spirits.html">Sacred Spirit</a>. Breaking the human cycle is only for a person who cultivated <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-action-vs-word.html">unselfishness</a> in the spirit world. Each spirit that has entered the human cycle—entered with personal karma. The majority of humanity will never reach a higher level of consciousness. Consequently, the <a href="http://clearlyenlight.blogspot.com/2007/06/no-escape-from-judgment.html">judgment time</a> will decide their fate. The result for the majority the Bhagavad Gita teaches: stuck in the human cycle, experiencing one life to the next—birth, death, and rebirth. Although a person can change any bad karma into good karma, action in the moment is vital.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-6298078822834361296?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/5BM5BJKm3SM" height="1" width="1"/>

All Creation Within, as One?

819 Words : Posted 07.27.07

Within life most deep thinking people have come to observe and understand the depths of within ourselves. In prior posts I have expounded that our spirit, inner person, has always existed, and always will. The Bhagavad Gita clearly teaches that the inner person is indestructable. The Bhagavad Gita also teaches that each person is within the Divine. Most people hearing this have a hard time excepting this teaching. This world through religion, has taught that "God" is all love, therefore how could each person be within the Divine? Considering some humans are non-spiritual, not having any interest in the truth, and some down right wicked, the all love and only love cause confusion. Chapter nine in the Bhagavad Gita states:<blockquote> " I permeate all the universe in my unmanifest form. All beings exist within me, yet I am so inconceivably vast, so beyond existence, that though they are brought forth and sustained by my limitless power, I am not confined within them. Just as the all-moving wind, wherever it goes, always remains in the vastness of space, all beings remain within me ".</blockquote>The beautiful scripture of the Gita explains the facts of reality. Jesus taught the same concept with just a different language, culture, and era of time. Thus, Luke writes at chapter 17:20-21. <blockquote>Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you. "</blockquote> It is the same teaching just in a different way of explaining the concept. The Bhagavad Gita continues on and says: <blockquote>"The truly wise, who dive deep into themselves, fearless, one-pointed, know me as the inexhaustible source." " I am the beginning and the end, origin and dissolution, refuge, home, true lover, womb and imperishable seed." </blockquote> Isaiah 41:4 sounds so very similar to the Gita. <blockquote>" Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the Lord - with the first of them and with the last - I am he."</blockquote> The Almighty Divine Source, Creator of All is omnipresent; meaning the Divine is everything, at the same time the Divine can be very removed from everything and very hard to find. Everything is within the Divine Source. The predator next to the prey. The righteous next to the very wicked. At the very same time the person of the Almighty Grand Source has no attachment to his creation. Although the Creator has chosen love toward the creation. If the love of the Divine was not stronger then selfishness; nobody would exist. The mystery behind this is that a person has to come to learn what love is, and live it, along with faith to draw close to the Almighty Divine. Due to the fact that the Almighty Source is formless, without form; this is the reason why Idolatry is against the commandments that Moses wrote down. Therefore Moses wrote at Deuteronomy 4:12; <blockquote>"Then the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice. 4:15 You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully."</blockquote> Consequently, The Bhagavad Gita teaches the Almighty as formless, unmanifest, and indescribable. The Almighty Divine Creator is one, as his own person, none of the creation can compare to the Grand Source. Out of the creation each person is an unique individual with their own personality. All creation comes out of the Divine, which in a certain way, all is one; although everything is separate, being their own person, at the same time everyone is within the Divine and a part of the Divine. The only way to find the depths of the Creator is cultivating faith and love; showing love to the stranger is the depth of love, which is to be learned. Accepting all forms of life, the prey and the predator, can give an insight into the Almighty Divine Creator; The Grand Source of All. The six part series The Source digs deeper into this subject.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4487191890020284195-2372575568793860?l=clearlyenlight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WelcomeToClearlyenlightcom/~4/8qAzkcscR78" height="1" width="1"/>
