'Caught betwixt ‘the then, and the now’

Everyone’s out to make their millions, but no one is out to seek the heart of God for themselves. Everyone relies one someone else to lead him or her by the nose into the Promised Land. Who has their eye on the prize? Who is it that draws man? Who is it that gives and takes, upon the heart’s request? Are we so distracted by the whirlwind in our head that we can’t come to that place where we refuse to accept nothing lest than what God The King of the universe has provided for us all, as sons?

Caught betwixt ‘the then, and the now’,

‘The cash cow or thorns so crowned?’

Frailties abound, the Master’s voice drowns!

Suddenly aware, succumbed and bound,

Cunningly surrendered, is your Royalty Crowns!

‘Usurped!’ ‘Usurped!’ ‘Dominion Usurped!’ The Kingdom Not Found!

‘Is the hour of visitation at hand?’

‘The Trump of God! Our visitation sounds! In man!

Your God given power and might! Your Eternal Birthright!

Proclaim! Proclaim! (Shout! Proclaim! From The High and Holy Tower!)

‘Comes Now! The Hour of Power come upon us in this our chosen Hour!’

Our world shall melt away as do the hours end no more souls bought, or owned!

Living, as though, our souls were ours to own! As if our lives were some kind of lifetime pay as you go plan. ‘Is that really for Us, God’s Most Supreme Plan?

‘The Hour Is At Hand.”

God Gave Me One Second

I sat alone…

November 24, 2008 by awaken4e1

I sat alone, the raging world just outside the door cut off, as I struggled, groaning and straining to hear His beautiful voice with all my heart, mind and failing strength, ‘in the mist of the raging whirlwind that has become my soul, When suddenly from beyond my limited awareness? The Most Holy Loving God step out! ‘From within me? ‘From Everywhere within me?’ He Lovingly possesses me entirely as a mother possesses Her most loving and Only Begotten Son! When without realizing it, I had begun to wash my feet with my tears. ‘Mine feet were His, His feet mine!’

All the horror that was my life fell away as warm water washing over me. As He stood up within me I stood up in Him as We stood as one together weaved and intertwined I wept in awe of His glorious presence, each falling tear washing my soul clean of all the endless days sorrow and guilt. Spirit, soul, and flesh-now stand midair weightless! Dead? Weather in the body or no? I know not! At first, I was unable to look into His all-loving Face for the awe and trembling in my heart! I shook as His presence suspends me between heavens and earth; all human strength vanishes as vapor.

His most gentle hands holding mine from that Holiest Place, only the tops of my toes brushing this world, then for the first time in my entire life experience in Him I saw with His eyes! He stepped again from within me, and yet remained my very being, every particle under His loving reigns. His hands are mine, His mouth mine, His Face mine, I saw clearly! My soul revealed in His Most loving gaze, my temporal body only mere shadow? My heart beats its last three! Dead! Before Him! Dead! Again, and Again! In my spirit dead, in my soul dead, and my body dead before Him!

Yet not! ‘I live forever more!’ ‘I AM Eternal’ As my Father and yours IS Eternal and created us all Eternally His! So It Is Written So It Be Done! As I beheld, my heart and soul singing for joy in all its proclamation unto all creation an ever-living offering of life ever before Him in all His fullness! The ever more uncontained Ever Present He. Engulfs me in all time bare, now is my soul wide open an ever new river of Him Loving Water of Life, I AM completely unveiled and empty torn from top to bottom, exposed for the filling! ‘Instantly Filled’ consumed into that place prepared for me, Prepared for us all!

‘I AM as I AM Known Standing in Him! A Pillar! An Entrance! A Door! A Transformation! A ‘Most Holy Place’ An Eternal Dwelling Place! Prepared in us all for us all, ‘All Him in us!’ Us in Him are many reflections, many facets, and many dwellings, revealed from within His handiwork that is within Us! Revels ‘The Sons of God’ In my Father’s House are many mansions!’

Behold,

I beheld ‘The gift, ‘that builds that place without hands ’ ever growing in me, ever present in me ‘that golden gain of mustard seed’ ‘Alive! Growing!’ ‘See with Mine Eye!’ ‘Says The Lord!’ In seeing I AM Face-to-Face In The seed that Is God-Faith! The Almighty God Father and Lord of All! Planted in us! The Holiest of All! ‘The Great I AM! Eye-to-Eye!’ maturing, forming in me. ‘He kissed me with His most supple lips’ Our Father God of all! Emptied me, He took all tears and gave to My Loving Elder Brother who washed me of the old head to feet with them! I AM cleansed and free! Standing in that ‘Most Holy Place’ All consumed in the overwhelming fullness of My Eternal Family’s full and tender embrace ‘My spirit and soul sealed! Melding into Him The Father’s Voice thundered All Creation bowed: ‘Welcome My Son!

‘Come and Dine’ ‘The Master Calleth!’ ‘Come and Dine’ ’

‘Behold The Marriage supper of The Lamb Is Come!’

Once of twain ‘But now, ‘Singularly Known’ as I AM Known!’ the flow of My Father’s Voice from within my overwhelmed heart speaking the clearer! ‘I AM’ your heart finally Home! Rest, is Your Eternal Home ‘I AM’ come! ‘Lay down ‘your’ sword, ‘The battle Is Won! Armageddon Is Sealed and Finish!’ His most precious Self Sealed Up the Sum! ‘I AM!’ Most Holy Loving Spirit. Eternally unfolding ‘Love lives in me!’

All of Him stood up in me! In me was one split second revealed, ‘Face-to-Face.’ All eternity glimpsed in that expression of ‘a single second of time’ Eternal ever expanding Him! He exposed in me soul from flesh; I stood bare before my Father God The

Creator in my true nature aware of my eternal self, spirit soul and body redeemed, Truly Born again! I AM Anew! Now, my soul stands pure and free. The effects all of my life’s trials on my soul ‘gone for ever’ wash away by His loving eyes! Now there is truly no more war in my soul! Against any person or thing.

Jesus has truly ‘Come’ in me! Most Loving Him! Sealed I AM! I am Singularly clear! Empty trembling and, stripped before my Father God, Before The Lamb, Before The Manchild! Revealed! Known! ‘As I AM Known!’ Freely receiving His full Possession from head to toe all that has blinded me in my soul, and which polluted my heart for the eternity that was that, ever expanding split second of time. Ever-present ever expanding He in me, unfolding me before me! The House that is I AM Eternal! Now shows through unto that temporal house. Now revealed in me ‘that place of peace’ ‘that most secret hidden place.’ The ever-present Help in that one-second of need! When you need to bridge the gap between this world and the next. God will move Heaven and Earth to finish His work in us all. Always there just for the asking access given to The Father of Lights.

Phi 2:5 ⁽¹⁰⁶³⁾ Let this mind be ^{5426, 5124} in ¹⁷²² you, ⁵²¹³ which ³⁷³⁹ was also ²⁵³² in ¹⁷²² Christ ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus: ²⁴²⁴

Jam 1:17 every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

What we want in life we must first give to others! Give what you want to others and it shall be granted to you, that which you gave, In Him!

What do you think of PayPerPost.com

I think it would be a good place to start by telling you all how much I absolutely love writing, any and all types of writing allegory, short stories, fictional, and non-fictional and oh yea I love writing poetry too! And, from as far as I can tell, as much as I have read online and off, many more people than just I love the passion of writing as much as I do!

With this in mind, I am always on the hunt for a profitable way to share my passions, online through writing, and I think I had stumbled upon exactly what I was looking for in PayPerPost! I thought to myself ‘Wow, this is it!’ ‘I think I’ve found the catalyst to pour out my thoughts and opinions through, and with a little side benefit to boot’ a little dough-ray-me, I get paid!

How great is that? ‘Get paid doing what you love to do?’ So, what do you think? Am I nuts or what? No, I don’t think so; I think I’ve found a true outlet for those of us with the passion to write!

Thanks to PayPerPost for the insight to develop such a great forum!

Psychosocial Responses

There are five or six pathological responses in social behavior, which I now present as metaphors, for those who are the Scribes of the day, applied in the time of Christ, which is still applicable for today's mind-set.

The same patterns occur over and over again, in every time and age.

The Sadducee -

One uses one’s own self-made sophistication, to weed out error and superstition from "what really matters." Often they use violent behavior in dealing with those who disagree with them, forcibly (either with physical or verbal violence) reacting to the "superstitious, or religious." It is pathological in that the person who is a modernist, i.e. a “Sadducee" derives their sense of identity from mocking the crowd and being "too smart" for whatever is the traditional approach.

Scribes -

One who takes a legalistic approach with overwhelming rules, and regulations? (Used to belittle, and judge others). They pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin and omit the weightier matters of the law: fairness, mercy and faith. (Matthew 23:23). It is pathological in that it derives a sense of identity from condemning others for failing to meet irrational legalisms (straining at gnats and swallowing camels).

There is a sense of entitlement that comes purely from the modern scribe having embraced the fad or values of the past and a demand for respect, and honor based purely on having embraced (with a great deal of legalism) a past fad.

Note: Often a discord becomes a conflict when there are scribes on one side and Sadducees, which is often needed to validate the Sadducee.

Zealots-

The true Zealot is marked by feeling that every disagreement or conflict can and should be solved by force. Generally, by force first and other, slower, methods second. Zealots are often addicted to the adrenaline high that their actions promote and they enjoy violence.

This pathology is found in every group from the extreme right to the extreme left and every place in between. From street crime and purse snatching to military adventuresome, it is the entitlement to results because of the possession of physical force that marks a zealot. Many groups will have zealots forming a significant section of their members. They are brute beasts.

Harlots-

These people who live in worldly realm, seeking its pleasures without sufficient limits, and are often victimized or exploited by others (slaves). This behavior becomes pathological when it focuses on instant gratification without regard to externalities give me, and give me now. The mother selling her baby's food for cocaine is an excellent example.

'But I need it' is a good by-line for this group. Often individuals with one of the other pathologies will insist that they have the right to harm, exploit or abuse a member of this group because of the membership in this group ' I have the right because I am strongest'. 'The Pack' mentality.

Publicans-

These are those who instead of attempting to assimilate or cooperate with others, seek only to assimilate things. In the most common form, the pattern is pathological in that money is seen has having rights over people and in imbuing one with rights (e.g. "it is only a little girl" he said, as he drove over a child in the road, "and this is such a big car").

Whenever you see, hear or grasp the logic "I'm entitled to do this to xyz group because I have or will make money" you have met a publican in action.

Note: If you see zealots as pathological aggressive negotiators and publicans as pathological cooperatives, you've caught a good grasp of the publican problem.

Essences-

The Essences is opposed to its own existence can be used to typify those who run away as a conflict resolution strategy. Survivalists and utopian collectives (for the right and the left) catch this minor group well. Generally the problems erupt when the group is unable to truly run away (e.g. the Montana Freemen -- any where they went they still had to pay taxes, etc.). Most groups will contain a number of Essences.

The real point of having a "Essences." group is to point out that while there are major pathologies that turn up over and over and over again, there are also many that do not fit inside the box or in the groups. Unlike the negotiation styles, social pathologies are much more likely to spread beyond the five major classifications.

Conclusion:

Social pathologies - include group distortions of the basic coping mechanisms, expressed in types of negotiating.

Forsaken Roots

Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention.

It is the same congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death." But in current textbooks the context of these words is deleted. Here is what he said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."
These sentences have been erased from our textbooks.

Was Patrick Henry a Christian? These are the words he wrote shortly before his deat: "I have disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give to them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had that and I had not given them one cent, they would be rich. If they have not that, and I had given them the world, they would be poor."

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his well- worn Bible: "I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus also."

Consider these words from George Washington, the Father of our Nation, in his farewell speech on September 19, 1796:

"It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

Was George Washington a Christian? Consider these words from his personal prayer book: "Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of thy son, Jesus Christ."

Consider these words by John Adams, our second president, who also served as chairman of the American Bible Society.

In an address to military leaders he said, "We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
How about our first Court Justice, John Jay?

He stated that when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."
John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, was the sixth U.S. President.

He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."

In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."

William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the "Schoolmaster of the Nation."

Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: "The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I make no apology."

Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first.

Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the scriptures:

"Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let everyone seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of him (Proverbs 2:3)."
For over 100 years, more than 50% of all Harvard graduates were pastors!

It is clear from history that the Bible and the Christian faith, were foundational in our educational and judicial system. However in 1947, there was a radical change of direction in the Supreme Court.

Here is the prayer that was banished:
"Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee. We beg Thy blessings upon us and our parents and our teachers and our country.
Amen."

In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that Bible reading was outlawed as unconstitutional in the public school system. The court offered this justification: "If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could and have been psychologically harmful to children."

Bible reading was now unconstitutional, though the Bible was quoted 94 percent of the time by those who wrote our constitution and shaped our Nation and its system of education and justice and government.

In 1965, the Courts denied as unconstitutional the rights of a student in the public school cafeteria to bow his head and pray audibly for his food.
In 1980, Stone vs. Graham outlawed the Ten Commandments in our public schools.

The Supreme Court said this: "If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments were to have any effect at all, it would be to induce school children to read them. And if they read them, meditated upon them, and perhaps venerated and observed them, this is not a permissible objective."
Is it not a permissible objective to allow our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments?

James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
Today we are asking God to bless America. But how can He bless a Nation that has departed so far from Him?

Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots. I , Mary Jones, the designer of this web page, encourage all who read and agree with the words herein, to share it with others, so that the truth of our nation's history may be told.

Awakened Filter

Over the last seven years I’ve gone from being an egger listener to all the top conservative radio talk shows, to an awakened filter of the propaganda, which had indoctrinated me with since the early 90’s.

From: Rush Limbaugh, Pat Campbell, Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage along with Fox News radio.

Through the course of any given week the mantra is to be espousing through these hosts is ‘walk the line’ according to Network’s owners, who are known controlled CIA assets, under the preview of the Department of Homeland Security, and the Federal Communication Commission, and more importantly The White House.

Seeing many of these hosts have in fact met with members of The White House, and quite possibly the President himself, for their ‘talking points’ from on high. Some have of their own words announced their visits to the High Priest ‘W’ in the Holy Place of D.C.

Their reoccurring preoccupation with meaningless mediocrity of sensationalism of ‘who, what, when, and where.’ Have caused the instability of the mentality of the citizenry through the relentless manipulation of their opinions and reducing the strength of their daily mental focus.

Over numerous days of superfluous terror alerts, color codes, mandatory airport security lines, roadblocks, and check points. All to curtail our very sense of security and well being, being under constant attack by the slave masters through the media.

Daily our freedoms are being usurped by those who stand ‘as’ our handlers all the while behind closed doors taking the rights our founding fathers fought and died for away from us. Taking our right to travel freely by illegal checkpoints.

Surveillance our every transaction weather public or private through digital (RFID) customer loyalty cards. Also, facial recognition software at our airports, reverse profiling. Not to mention Cameras, e-pass, OnStar, GPS,

Cell phone power off listening, high altitude surveillance blimps.

Illegal stops by mercenary police officers harassing citizens with ‘no probable cause’ but to harass and intimidate the people.

Whom they have no intention to protect and serve’.

The Secret

There is only one law!

It is the very thing, which occupies our every thought. It is the thing, which controls our life, our relationships, our associations, our affiliations, and even our intentions. It drives every area of our natural, and spiritual environment, (all of it!)

It governs the way we feel, the way we respond to things, events, and to even people, it structures the way others respond to us, it gives us what is set in motion. It establishes every direction of every minute, hour, day, week, and even every year, year upon year!

It is the culmination of everything coming forth into the seen environment, it is set from the point of birth on, it has set every day in motion, understand that things are not has it is told.

It is something so entirely different from that well-known axiom: (that is just way things are.) Even, as we found ourselves saying it time, and time again, over and over. This indelibly sets this law even more firmly into the fabric of our lives.

It is the sole force, which drives every motivation. It directs every intention. It gives back to the utmost degree that which is put in, it treats every motivation the same. It treats everything as thought it were the only purpose of your life.

It reaches beyond the limited confines of indoctrination, and manipulation of, and from others or even from self. It accomplishes with the full force and intent of all the power of creation, to bring forth the resulting properties of this one law.

It is contained yet elusive, it is expressive yet inaudible, it is substantial yet it is intangible. It is the reverberation of output, resounding back through the constructs of intention.

It is the fulcrum by which all things are initiated. It is the application and intent of our hearts and minds, emulating the culmination of our inner most thought accomplishing the very thing, which we have invoked with the one law.

It is the mechanism that produces the foundation for all of our emotional states; it guides our vision of and into the future, through these emotional conditions a preview of what is to come is manifest.

It is the motive, the desire, the urge, the passion, the want, the intent, the vision, and the mission of all of our thoughts, and outputs into this realm of creation. It is the source and participants of this one law!

Do you know The Secret?

An epiphany

I have had an epiphany! It has been such a gut wrenching process, that I found myself losing all interest in all of the former political forums, periodicals and blogs, and appetites that I frequented and also with the friends whom I have had common beliefs with, is now shelved. Never believing that I would ever form an independent thought which was contrary to the lock-step hard line of the conservative republican /democratic policticos.

Being affiliated in mind and belief with the most popular mainstream programming, as by radio, television that have groomed their talking heads to espouse their pre-approved pre-packaged image of freedom, and not the real gift of freedom given from God. Slowly conforming the masses into a shivering waft of our former selves, believing the spoon-fed regiment of snippets, blurbs, and sound bites.

Whereas the relevant issues are glossed over by the mainstream, crowded out by fluff and superfluous attention to fashion, consumerism, racisms, hate, and greed resulting in the assistance the furtherance of a covert clandestine accord by the elite power structure within the world who are linked by the desire to control the world’s people under a tyrannical pursuit of base elemental human rule and dominance of those whom have been enslaved by the construct of those who are the formers of the collective consciousness.

The manipulation of the mind through the conditionings and the stimulation of the senses at the most base level, the arousal of underlying primal fear within the human mind through theatrical embellishments of the conditions of the world around us when it is by this methodologies the consequences of these falsehood are made reality. By giving the peoples a sense of urgency in these falsehoods they run to those whom claim to hold remedy for the worlds ills.

And, if they are willing to follow the prescribed path to self-hollowness, has the trainer snaps its whip corralling the masses into the belief that they will be saved from the horrors of the human animal which is they whom have inflicted the ills upon ourselves, in the first place. The cognitive abilities of the individual being quashed because of the fear of the intuitive awareness of an awakening of the innermost man whom they fear, and whom no one can deceive.

And through this continuance, is the retardation of the transformation of Mankind itself. And if these impressions are the reality of the matter, then what shall we do when we see that it is we ourselves who are the (they) whom have caused these things to come forth within our pursuit of our own illusionary and security?

What shall we do?

In Enoch Shoes (A Christian Allegory)

I found myself a float in absolute pitch blackness, upright and on my feet, and being unable to see anything but the faint outline of what looked like flat floating stones, on which I was standing. Then, I saw a stone just a steps distance in front of me. I could not see what they were made of. So I reluctantly reached out in the darkness, for some point of reference for my mind to grasp on to. Then, I felt fear welling up in me, and as I did, the stones begin to fade away beneath me. And I felt my soul falling, deeper and deeper into the darkness. Then, I really began to feel the rush of fear overwhelming me, welling up even into my throat. Then, I heard a voice inside soft, tender and clear say to my heart (O) ye, of little faith!) That is way you fail, because you doubt what you are made of, and you forsake what is in you, from your birth. These words calmed me, and joy filled me, I began to breathe again. As I continued to have faith in myself, then the stones began to strengthen beneath me. Then I began to feel as if I were traveling faster than anything I ever could ever imagine, with each step. It was as if I were traveling by thought itself.

But in this pitch I could not say, having to point of reference. And then a small glimmering point of light began to come into focus, from what seemed to be a very far away. My heart raced with the seeing of this light. And just as I placed my thought on the light, I was there before it. It began to swell in size, before my eyes and as I approached, it began to take on the qualities of what I believed to be a back hole, but made of light. Swirling with a deafening vibration, which I began to resonate within my soul. I began to be in sink with the pulse of the energies of this giant swirling mass of amines love, joy and light. Then I could see great flashes of detail in what the light exposed, as it slung out its light across the vastness of this place. Then, I began to see what looked like creatures, beings of I could only describe as, of a higher estate then I, flying about with great speed in this place about me. But, then to my astonishment the rays of light, which the mass was slinging out into the vastness, were in fact these beings flying with great speed into the darkness, as lightening. And as they went they devoured the darkness, overcoming it with joy, and love, as they went to and fro, they turned again and brought their content of light to the great swirling mass, and it was consumed.

All that I witnessed took place in the splitting of a second. Then I began to see within my own soul, and low! I to began to devour the darkness around me, and as I took hold of the darkness around me, I felt that it was (alive), and it whaled in torment, to be free of its pain and as I came to the mass, it began to glow with an inner warmth, and peace. Then I knew these where soul trapped within the darkness. As I loosed to the mass it somehow gave me thanks for bringing it to the Light. Joy flowed from it, as it became on with the mass. The stones on which I was walking, where gone, and I too was flying with great speed with the energy of this giant mass of beings of light. And with the greater speed I traveled, the brighter and more powerful I became, I began to hear a chorus of familiar voices speaking within me with love, joy, and kindness in unimaginable volumes. Through their voices I began to know all the mysteries of my life in perfect synchronicity, and harmony. I instantly knew that all of my trials, and sorrow in my life had created I thought to be voids. Now, I knew that they were allowed by this mass of energy, so to be filling all those places in my soul with this great light.

But now, I know that the voids where in fact special places held in reserve, to be filled with all that this energy that was now imparting to me, with great flashings of souls. They filled my soul, endless in number, and all of them I knew totally! Then, I knew that these are the voices, which continually spoke to my soul, in this place, and as they spoke, I focused in on one voice in particular; it was the most beautiful voice ever heard, it softly began to rise above the others in clarity, as it resounded throughout the whole of this firmament. The voice began to tell of my place of authority herein, and what I was to do. And, as the voice laid all out from beginning to end, or what seemed to be the end, the voice paused as to let me take it all in. With each word I felt infinite waves of love, joy, and power, flowing through ever part of me. The words wrapped themselves around me, with a belonging, and a love in awesome authority, the mass of swirling beings began to focus all of their hearts upon me and, they spoke a chorus of abilities unto me and, I began to be transformed by their resounding power within these words. It was as if I were being created anew, a creature of limitless love, kindness, mercy, power and authority.

Now, I knew that I could create with the utterance of a single word, or with a single thought. And, as this transformation took place, the voice above all of the others spoke: unto me. (These beings are they to whom you have imparted your gifts of love to in your life, and now they have sown, and cherished it, and have gained an increase, which I now give to you, to posses.) Again, flashes of lightening filled my soul, with joy, and love as I saw all of the beings imparting to me increases of what I could only compare to, as an ever-growing spirit of love, within the light which enveloped me, increased exponentially beyond measure. Every living thing was found to be part of me! Fowl, fishes, very creeping thing, things seen, and unseen where all adjoined within me, I in them. I began to breathe in what I knew to be a (super verse,) of abilities, but more than that! There is so much more than that! (Alive!) And pulsating with love, an unimaginable presence! (It is! All that is!) It is (One!) And its voice rose up above all others again in me, and said: (You are all, that you are!) (And, Now!)

You know even as you are known! And, now you are known, as (I AM known.) And in the speaking, these words opened an expanse of universes innumerable and endless, limitless vistas intertwined existences simultaneous in me. Then I moved throughout entire (super-verse) Simultaneously creating, and imparting, as I was imparted to. The One spoke unto me again, (As you have freely received, freely give!) To all those who have bore witness my presence! With each, and every transformation of a soul, entering into the Spirit of the One, the creation re-births again anew exponentially, in a never-ending cycle of creation throughout Eternity. The One voice proclaimed! (As it is from the beginning so also it is, even so, Amen!) Now, I am found on high, beyond all former transientness enter-woven into the very being of the heavens, itself. I hear, and I am its resounding sound, living, everyone I have ever known and loved are about me, and in me, and through me. Coursing through my soul beyond measure. They are I, and I am they, in one, joined, and separate individuals, but yet not. I am without end, without faltering. I am radiant from within throughout all eternity spanned, and I am clothed with multitudes of glories, pulsing with trillions, and trillions of manifest glories unto glories eternal, as flaming crowns encircling head to toe, filled with every power, and energy, ever renewed.

Life fills my soul with all that is, all love, and joy with all knowledge, even unto an endless and on going fullness of the voice of the One itself. I am an individual of multitudes; a voice of many waters, of no separations, I am ever expansive, my reach is without limit and endless throughout all dimensions. My voice is all the voices of eternity clearly heard throughout all the heavens, proclaiming glory of Victory! Over transientness, unto the freedom of being as it is in the beginning, Beginning to End united in the One. As I wink, the heavens yield their truths; every resounding word is a sweet and tender voice within me. Love ever pulsating, speaking life giving love unto all things! Reveled, are all inner hidden treasures, the souls in heaven, newly born to Glories Eternal, as a newborn babe learning of the world around him? Wonderments ablaze with life and pure freedom course through every living being indelibly joined in the spirit the One True God! The Lord Jesus Christ. (As I AM so also are ye, in this world!)

This is the victory

1Jo 5:4 because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world our faith;
1Jo 5:5 who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

He who is overcoming the world…notes that it is not pass tense, nor is it future tense.
But it is an on going experience as we walk (through this world). The trials of this life experienced tune the art of overcoming and gives strength to those who face the highest level of trial to receive the highest place in the heavens.

Eat of the tree

Rev 2:7 He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming--I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

As an overcomer given the privilege to eat, partake, or be one with the tree of life, which is in the midst of the spirit within us. Know that we are the very dwelling place of God, He in us, we in Him, paradise!

Second death

Rev 2:11 He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

The overcomer goes through (the lake of fire) refined as pure gold, which brought forth the full glory of the Father, for our God is a consuming fire consuming all remaining imperfections within the soul.

Hidden manna

Rev 2:17 He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it .

To the overcomer is given hidden provision, which cultivates the immortality of our glorified body (white stone) as we shed our old nature through trial, and fire. Through the manifestation of our new nature (new name) we become one in the spirit of the Father we reflect our true nature in Him.

Authority over the nations

Rev 2:26 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,
Rev 2:27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron--as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken--as I also have received from my Father;
Rev 2:28 and I will give to him the morning star.
Rev 2:29 He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

To the overcomer is given power of the tongue to rule over the mind and imaginations even unto the ruling over the elements (the nations.) The enemy will be utterly disarmed by the power of the word. He is granted the light to bear as a lighter of the path of others to the Father.

In white garments

Rev 3:5 He who is overcoming--this one--shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.
Rev 3:6 He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

To the overcomer in corporate shall walk in the righteousness of the Father, given the nature of the eternal set in the very fabric of the Father Himself. The Father to all-eternity will affirm him.

Make him a pillar

Rev 3:12 He who is overcoming--I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and without he may not go any more, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that doth come down out of the heaven from my God--also my new name.
Rev 3:13 He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

To the overcomer is being made a support ( pillar) to those who come after into the innumerable company of the holiest of all. No longer subject to the rudimentary elements, (without he may not go any more) out being in the Father and in His nature dwelling in highest heavens.
