The Unity of The One
The Shepherd of Life
by
The Hermit of Eday
Have you ever wondered what Exactly Jesus came to Save Us From? well you hear that Jesus came to save us from Our "Own Selves" but why is that Self a problem? for your Mind Assures you that it is Proof that you Live, and that you have a Cognitive Life, in which to Experience, that which you live.
Indeed, it will even go so far as to say, that God gave "Me" my Life, and "My" Self to "Experience" that Life.
We have explained to you somewhere, that when the Self is "Healed, it is Self "No More"
What happens then that Self can "Become" Other than That, which it "Seems" Born to Be? "How" can 'I' fight "Against" the Very Thoughts and Reasoning of the 'I' that Signifies "Me" as a Person? And "Why" should "I" ?
Well, "You Cannot" but since Christ was Glorified, you "Now Carry" the "Very Spirit" which Can "Overcome" that 'I' even to the Extent of You Becoming Selfless, in "All" your Thoughts and Actions.
Do you "Recognise" that our statement of a "Selfless State" Matches, the "Very State" in which Jesus spoke and moved and lived all those ages ago?
Indeed when the "Word" of the "Living God" Enters the "Flesh" as "The Son" He "Knows" the "Only" thing that shall "Attack Him" is the "Thoughts" and "Reasoning Processes" of Those, "He" has Come to Save, For they will "Not Know" what "He" is "Doing"
Thus, For you to "Become" those who have 'Believed' Without "Seeing" Requires a "State" of "Mind" Less "Inclined" to "Serve" its "Own Nature" Which by, and Through, and In, "That Nature", "Seeks After" its "Own" good "Only"
As we have said before, No "Mortal Mind" has "Power" to "Defy" its "Own Nature" As its "Own Nature" is the "Very Nature" and "Result" of "Our Fall" But "Now" we are Given "Power" In Christ [ God's "Light" of "His" One Truth ]
To "Change" and "Overcome" that "Urgent Nature" so that it "Reflects" in its "New Nature" As the "Very Likeness" of Him, "Whom" that "New" Nature "Reflects" and "Expresses"
Thus Christ, Has Not "Only Created" the "Change" and Not "Only Enabled" the "Change" But is The "Cornerstone" of "Which" the "Change" is "Built" And Also is the "One" Through Whom, the Change is "Created" and then Behold, you have "Become" a "New Person"
That New Person is Your Heritage, it Resides within You even as your eyes follow the line of these writings. But Your Self, Your 'I' is in the spirit of Doubting Thomas, for the things of Scripture are Concerned with the Spirit Behind a Word, an Action, or a Thought.
This inner, "New" Person "Potential" Resides within the "Darkened Reasoning" of "Our" "Thought Processes" which "Suppress" its "Nature" by "Continuing" and "Confining" it, in and to, its Own Sin, in other words, Its "Ability" to "Will That" Which "Our" Father, Wills "Not"
Jesus called us "Prisoners" and the above "Statement" is "Revealing" to you, the "Nature" of The Cell, "You Occupy" As "The Cell" Yes, they will Gnash the Teeth, and Hate, for there is "Nothing New" Under "The Son" Him Having "Defeated" It.
And many of you children, have Perhaps not been tasked, with the Bitter Pill of Extremities to Undergo, and Life has "Seemed" perhaps Pleasant and Sweet for you, but do "Not" be Fooled, should you Indeed "Truly" set out to "Carry your Cross" and "Follow" the Words and Teachings of Jesus "Only" There will be "Reasonable People" who will Stick the 'Foot' Out, to "Trip You"
"Begin" to "Perceive" that When "Someone" is Using Their "Own Intellectual Power" to "Teach You" the "Things" of God, that This Is "Not Possible"
They are "Trying" to "Shape" the "Template" of "Your Reasoning Pattern" so That it "Conforms" to The "Shape" of "Theirs" [ And if the "Blind Lead" the Blind? ]
"All" Human Beings, do This "By Nature" You can "See" this is How "Many" of the Things of Today's "News" are "Created"
This is "Why" we "Promise You" that "No Intellectual Agreement" is "Required" in "Any" of These "Writings"
You will "Note" that this Does "Not Conform" to "How" the world now 'Thinks' Neither, is it Ever "Required" for the writer to be "Known"
Thus All you "Need" to do then, is just "Read" all of it 'Without" Any "Judgement" For or Against, and "When You Try" you "May Feel" some "Part Within" "Yourself," make "War Against" this "Idea" that has "Entered" its "Domain"
First stop, it will "Resort" to what it calls "Reason" "Combat" this by "Reminding" Yourself, that as it Speaks, it has a "Measurement" Through "What it Speaks" that has "Decided" and "Judged" the "Exact Limits" of what is "Reasonable" to It.
And Thus, what is "Not Reasonable" this "Pacing the Cell" will get you "Nowhere Near" the "Cause" of this Being "Written" for "You", and will Leave you "No Means" to Exit its "Confines"
Reason, "Always Appeals" to "Reason" Faith "Always Appeals" to God.
Thus you may hear a "knock at the Door, and find a Person who "Has Come" to "Reflect" "Their" Reasoning, "Upon your Own" as you "Listen"
"Their Reasoning" is "Ever" "Appealing" to "Your Reasoning" for "Recognition" In other words, they "Desire" you to "Conform" with that Which they "Have Come" to "Reason" for, or "Against"
God Will "Not Reside" in their "Argument" Either Way, and their "Reasoning" has "No" "Power" to "Accept Our" Words are True.
Something else then is "Required" if we "Truly Desire" God, and "Not" just the "Stale" Bread of "Intellectual" knowledge "About Him" so that the "Intellect" is "Puffed" up with "Pride" in "All" it "Thinks it Knows" About "The Living" God.
The Church, and "The Shepherds" of God's "Flocks" and The Holy Spirit, that is the "Staff" of "The Shepherd" that "Leads" and "Guides" the "Flocks" and is "Advocate" in "All" His "Matters"
Now Lays "Beneath" the "Feet" [ Minds ] of "Intellects" that have "Forsaken" the "Shepherd"
"Scattered" the "Flocks" and "Hidden" the "Staff" "Within Intricate Nets" of "Various" and Multitudinous "Theologies"
"Created" Through the "Growth" of Our "Own Fallen" "Reasoning Powers" and "Thus" giving "Birth" to "All" that "Defies" the "Very Nature" of "Our" God.
But "Not Even This" can "Make" or "Cause" The "Shepherd" to "Abandon His Flock" and He "Has Not"
For "He" is A "True Constant" He is "Always There" at "Your Need" and in the "Season" of That "Need" Thus was it Written, Christ Today, or Yesterday, or Tomorrow, "Ever Remains" The "Same"
Why can we No longer "Perceive" or "Hear" the "Shepherds Directions" when His "Staff" Tries to "Guide" us?
You "Need" to "Comprehend" and to "Understand" Something. When you "Read" the "Works" of "Old" You "Read" in an "Entirely Different" Manner to "How" they Was "Written"
You "Read Works" that "Flowed Through" far "Less" Reasoning "Power" than the Children of This Age, Now Have.
This is "True" of "All" Previous, "Ages" but "Each" Age, Could "Produce Individuals" who had Higher "Intellectual Powers" more "Suited" to "Another Age" yet to "Come" at "That Time" Philosophers. Dreamers. the Scientifically Minded, and so on.
But the "Fallen Light" which "Reflects Upon" the "Nature" of "Our Reasoning" is "Growing" "Greater" the "More Knowledge" it "Imbibes" This "Is" the "Front Line'" on the "Battlefield" "Within You" And that "Which Controls" the World "Through" its "Power"
If you Have a Title. "Consider" and "Look Around" You, is it "Coincidence"? that "All" You have "Reasoned About" Jesus, has "Enabled You" to "Keep" All You "Have Gathered"? and the "Rich" young man "Walked Away" Very "Troubled" Indeed...
When you "Read" the "Works" of God's children from "Other Ages" Be "Mindful" of The "Age" they "Spoke" and "Lived Within" For "Many Things" which are of "Reasoning" were "Relevant Only" to "Their" Age. Like "You" Who "Live" in "This" Age.
Many Can Found "Following" after a "Particular Writer" or in "Some Cases" those who "Wrote About" Them. "Believing" they may "Reach" the "Same Destination" the writer "Seems" to "Point" too .
But when you do "This" you Become "Open" to "Many Errors" [ And Again, "Errors" are "Not" something, that Makes you Hell Bound ]
The "First Error" "Never Treat" the "Servant Greater" than the "One" they are in "Service" To.
Many of the Great "Religious Houses" have "Fallen" or are "Reduced" in Number, "Because" of This "Trap"
This Happens when Spirit is "Lost" and the "Saints" and "Other" Great Names, That "Religious Houses" are "Formed" From, "Become" the "Cause" of the "Houses Existence"
The House "Must Represent" its "Highest Form" by "Always Looking" Towards "Him" And Being "Like Him"
In Who's "Name" it is "Claimed" to be "Founded Upon" and "Represents" He is, "No Saint" He "Is" God. And They "Were" Are, and "Have Been" His "Servants" and "Would" Tell "You" "That Fact"
What was The Trap? "Not Comprehending" that the "Only Power" that can "Save" you as One, of God's children, "Is" a "Power" you "Already Have" and "Indeed" it is "That" Very "Power" you "Have" that "First Calls" you to "Seek Something" you "Feel" You do "Not" "Have"
Let us take an "Example" Many will "Spend Decades" Studying, and "Trying" to "Emulate" their "Imaginations Idea" of "What" a writer was "Explaining" to Them, or "Showing" Them or "Telling Them"
Their "Feet" become "Entangled" in the "Net" [ Neural ] and is "Unable" to "Pull Free" of the "Many Concepts" of "Meaning" that Their "Own Reasoning" is "Constantly Creating" As it "Tries" to "Interpret" the "Root" Meaning, "Which" in "Reality" Is "Beyond its Grasp"
And Thus, has "No Power" to "Look Upon" in "Order" for It to Say 'I' "Know" what the writer "Means" in "Other Words" it is "Attempting" to "Reason" over an "Unopened Letter" that in "No" wise Could be "Addressed" to it.
How few "Comprehend" the writings of the "Founders" of the Carmel? who could be Enabled to "Know"? that the "Very Tool" that is "Used" to "Attempt Comprehension" of their "Meaning" is the "Very Cause" Of their "Meaning" Not "Coming" Into Their "Comprehension"
[ In the "Relevant Language" of "Their" Age ]
They Write to the "Follower" the "Nature" of why God "Seems" so "Dark" And "Unknown" and "Unknowable" to Us. Did you "Not Understand" Them? "All" the things they Teach to Ignore, and "All" the Things they Teach to Reject, and "All" the Things they say you Cannot Do, and "All" the things they say you Should do,
"Bypasses" the very "Reasoning Processes" Power, to "Lead"
And we are "Explaining" in this Work, another "Cause" for Error, when "Following" Particular Children, from "Other" Ages, Neither "They" or You, have "Ability" to "Account" for The "Difference" in The "Reasoning Power" of "Both" Theirs, and "Now" Your Age.
For the "Growth" of "Our Power" and "Reasoning Abilities" Far "Exceeds" that of the "Past" Ages. Indeed Its "Growth" Is, Our "Falling Further" Day by Day. This is "Why" it Seems the "Spirit" Behind "All Religion" is "Dying Away"
[ Like the Mobile Phone, has More "Computing Power" Now, than "Anything" on the Planet in the Forties. ]
"Our" Reasoning is "Set Against" God's Will, at "All" Times, "Especially" So when it "Imagines" it is "Following" His Will, when in "Reality" "Only Faith" can take "That Path"
But in "All" Error "Also" it Is "The Heart" That "Counts"
The Shepherd who is "The Spirit" of "His Church" is also "Rightly" the "Owner" of the Land, where "His Church Sits"
His "Knowledge" of the Land, "Comes" from "His Knowledge" of Being "Born Within It" But the Land, and the "Inhabitants" of the Land, "Rejected" Him at Birth, And Upon His Visitation.
Indeed, the Land had its "Own Ruler" and his "Slaves Toiled" under the "Whip" of Their "Master" and they lived and moved and "Reasoned" Like their Master,
Thus All their Master "Gave Them" was "Sweet" and "Right" and the "Master's Fruit" was "Gorged Upon" and the "More they Ate," The "More" the "Master" would Give Them.
Their Master, "Taught Them" what is "In The Earth" and what is "Outside" of the Earth, he "Gave" them the "Number" of "Every Single Thing" in "All" Knowable, Creation,
And the "Manner" of "Their Workings" he "Laid Bare" and "Open" to All.
And Bleating their "Consent" and "Becoming" All, that "Their Master" "Knows" them to be, they "Rush" to his "Temples of Learning" They "Hurry" to his "Houses of Pride" they "Gather" at the "Drinking Well" of his "Ever Growing" knowledge, of "All Things"
Now "Each Sits Churning" to "Make" the "Butter Cream" of "Knowledge" of "Things"
So as to "Create New Things" and "Greater Things" thus "Out" of "Their" knowledge, "Bricks" which "Create" and "Build" the "Likeness" of the "Next Age" are "Formed"
Thus, they "Never See" that the "Edifice" And its "Walls" it is "Creating Around" Them,
Is in "Fact" a "Boundary" and a "Wall" their spirits, Shall "Never" Cross.
You see we are "Addressing" you in "This Way" because your "Intellect" is "Now Grown" Enough to "Hear Us" and "Convey Us, to 'That Within' to "Which" it is "Addressed" and "Could be Read" If "Only" it Would "Shut Up" Its "Protests" on Its "Own Behalf "
Did it "Rise" in "You" Then? Is the "Writer" Telling "Me" to Shut Up? Thats him! Thats " Whom" Jesus "Addressed" "In" Peter, Just Say, Be Silent! Satan, in the "Name" of "Christ" We Are "Busy Reading" and "Scribing" Your "Fate"
For "Although" your "Reasoning" may "Curse" over the "Contents" and its "Inability" to "Grasp" at "Our Meaning" or may even Set its Face "Against" our Works, as we Have "Explained" Before,
"All" Knowledge you "Imbibe" Remains "Subject" to your "Desire" to "Remember" it, and can be "Recalled" Through your "Power" of Reasoning, or can Pop Up "Unexpected" as a Previously "Lost" Memory. But it was "Not Gathered" from "Anywhere Except From "Within" "Youself"
But this knowledge, we "Contain" if "Contained" in the "Correct" Fashion, is "Open" to "Usage" by The "Holy Spirit" to "Convey" the "Shepherds Will" and "Knowledge" of That which "You Alone" Must "Fight" [ The Self ]
This is what Our "Enemy Does" he "Cuts" you off from your "Commander" the Wolves Then "Harass" the "Flocks"
With Endless "Ideas" Endless "Conjectures" Endless "Dogmas" Endless "Arguments" Endless "Theologies" Endless "Traditions" Endless "Laws" Endless "Rules",
And The Endless "Pit" That "Awaits That .Which is "Rapped" up "Tightly" with "Reasoning's Ribbons" of "Deceits" and "Deceptions" and Looks So Shiny...
[ Well the Spirit has just Inspired "Me" Not to "Expect" any "Christmas Cards" this Year]
Everyone knows that the world contains Evil, but Not Everyone, can Accept or Comprehend, that Every Single Human Being, has Ability to Reason Evil, as Good.
Thus when you read or hear of some Evil Done, your Reasoning is "Able to Offer" the "Deceptive Comfort" of "Knowing" 'You' Could "Never" do, such a "Thing" etc...
It is a "Liar" it has "Been" a "Liar" Since the "Beginning" For "That" is Its "Nature"
For the "Reality" is Far "Different" from that, "Open Those" Eye's,
Those who are "Commiting" The Evil, Have a "Reasoning" Mind, "Exactly" as 'You' Do.
Have we "Dispersed" your Peace? Have we blown away the "Warmth" and "Love" you Have for your "Own" Thoughts? and its "Reasonable" Judgements on "All" Things?
Or of your "Love" for your "Own" Ideas? we shall Keep "Attacking" that "Within You" which You "Reflect"
How "Long" you "Remain" on the "Battlefield" Just "Depends" upon the "Size" of "Your" Pride, and the "Mountain" of "Exterior Knowledge" it has "Built" for Itself, to "Overshadow" the "Shepherd" who "Inspires Us"
Jesus is the "Navigator" of "Our" Spirits, and We are "Called" to Live "Within" The Arc of His "Directing" Light, which is "Known Within" as His "Holy Spirit"
"Outside" of this "Leading" and "Guiding" Light, Dwells the "Dark" light of "Self Reasoning" which "Opposes" the "Path" the "Navigator" has "Set" for "You" who's Spirit yet dwells in "Flesh" until a time "Known" Only "Within" the Father, And your "Flesh" shall No Longer "Prevail"
"Here" we sit "Within" the Spiritual "Dark Age" of Humankind, "Drifting" on the "Stormy" Swells, of our Very "Own Actions" and "Thoughts" that we Alone have "Created"
The "Currents" of Our "Personal" Concerns, "Snatch" the "Tiller" from the "Navigators" "Wounded Hands" and "Insists" the "Direction Travelled" will "Serve" the Navigator, And Us "All" Though "He Alone" has "Travelled" these Waters, and "He Alone" has "Plumbed" its "Depths" for "Us All"
Treasure Ships draw "Close Disguised" as "Reasonable Cause" and the "Hidden Rocks" between "Thought" and its "Direction" have a "Nature" that can Only "Reflect" Your "Own"
What light do You Follow? for "No Mortal" has "Power" to "Reason Against" the "Interests" of The Self, "From Which" the "Reasoning" is "Born" and "Springs" though Many "Imagine" they "Do Such"
They have Not any "Comprehension" of the "Plundred Shipwreck" they "Have Become"
"Look" at the "Ocean" of "Our Humanity" its "Waves" of "Deceptions" and "Wonders" its "Sudden Squalls" of "Wars" and "Plagues" and "Every Day" it is "Raining" the "Manner" of "New Ideas" that "Serve" But the "Few" who "Have" Them
And they "Eat" of it "Greedily" Imagining it can carry them through the "Stormy" Sea's of life, and they Never "Comprehend" the knowledge they Eat, is a "Ballast" beyond their Hulls "Ability" to Carry, and Remain "Spiritually Seaworthy"
Faith "Trusts" the "Navigator" and "Never Questions" the "Direction" that Reason "Imagines" it is "Bound For"
Because the Kingdom of God is Like a Fine Landscape Painting, Except it Cannot be Seen unless we Become a Part of its Scenery.
The Self in its Reasoning, "Reflects" a light that is "Fallen" and "Defeated" and He who Defeated it in Us All, was called in the Flesh Jesus, and is "Known" in the Spirit as Christ,
The Mind of Christ, is the Mind of Jesus who Defeated the Power of the Fallen light, and did "Overcome" it for "All" of Us,
So that we too may Set "Our Compass" to His, and might Sail through the World and its Multitude of "Deceptions" and "Sorrows"
But now Each would be their "Own Captain" and Each will have The "Navigator" they "Prefer" each time they stand before a "Reflection" of "Themselves" in a Mirror.
The Navigator Knows you are Drawn to the light of your Reasoning Self, for like the Compass ever Points to Magnetic North, so does the light of your Own Thoughts lead you.
But the Knowledge of the Navigator Concerning the Chart He Has Established, Knows that True North is slightly in a Different Direction, than Magnetic North.
Thus when your thoughts direct a certain form of Reasoning Power, it is Serving and Heading Directly Towards the Source of that Very Power.
In the Garden Sweat, Jesus is Grappling with the knowledge His Human Reasoning has, Concerning the Nature of His Fate should He remain.
You see He Remained Innocent, and He Would Condemn the Nature of that which Reasons in its "Own" Interests "Alone" by doing then what was "Un-Reasonable"
Suffering and Dying in Innocence, whilst "Never" Having "Served" His Self Once, and thus "Remained Pure" and "Unblemished" by that which "Defeats" All "Mortals"
Yes. The "Power" of their Very "Own" Reasoning, which is now "Greater" in this "Age" than "Any Other" Before it, and Which by "Nature" Shall "Create" its "Own End"

What was The Trap? "Not Comprehending" that the "Only Power" that can "Save" you as One, of God's children, "Is" a "Power" you "Already Have" and "Indeed" it is "That" Very "Power" you "Have" that "First Calls" you to "Seek Something" you "Feel" You do "Not" "Have"
Let us take an "Example" Many will "Spend Decades" Studying, and "Trying" to "Emulate" their "Imaginations Idea" of "What" a writer was "Explaining" to Them, or "Showing" Them or "Telling Them"
Their "Feet" become "Entangled" in the "Net" [ Neural ] and is "Unable" to "Pull Free" of the "Many Concepts" of "Meaning" that Their "Own Reasoning" is "Constantly Creating" As it "Tries" to "Interpret" the "Root" Meaning, "Which" in "Reality" Is "Beyond its Grasp"
And Thus, has "No Power" to "Look Upon" in "Order" for It to Say 'I' "Know" what the writer "Means" in "Other Words" it is "Attempting" to "Reason" over an "Unopened Letter" that in "No" wise Could be "Addressed" to it.
How few "Comprehend" the writings of the "Founders" of the Carmel? who could be Enabled to "Know"? that the "Very Tool" that is "Used" to "Attempt Comprehension" of their "Meaning" is the "Very Cause" Of their "Meaning" Not "Coming" Into Their "Comprehension"
[ In the "Relevant Language" of "Their" Age ]
They Write to the "Follower" the "Nature" of why God "Seems" so "Dark" And "Unknown" and "Unknowable" to Us. Did you "Not Understand" Them? "All" the things they Teach to Ignore, and "All" the Things they Teach to Reject, and "All" the Things they say you Cannot Do, and "All" the things they say you Should do,
"Bypasses" the very "Reasoning Processes" Power, to "Lead"
And we are "Explaining" in this Work, another "Cause" for Error, when "Following" Particular Children, from "Other" Ages, Neither "They" or You, have "Ability" to "Account" for The "Difference" in The "Reasoning Power" of "Both" Theirs, and "Now" Your Age.
For the "Growth" of "Our Power" and "Reasoning Abilities" Far "Exceeds" that of the "Past" Ages. Indeed Its "Growth" Is, Our "Falling Further" Day by Day. This is "Why" it Seems the "Spirit" Behind "All Religion" is "Dying Away"
[ Like the Mobile Phone, has More "Computing Power" Now, than "Anything" on the Planet in the Forties. ]
"Our" Reasoning is "Set Against" God's Will, at "All" Times, "Especially" So when it "Imagines" it is "Following" His Will, when in "Reality" "Only Faith" can take "That Path"
But in "All" Error "Also" it Is "The Heart" That "Counts"
The Shepherd who is "The Spirit" of "His Church" is also "Rightly" the "Owner" of the Land, where "His Church Sits"
His "Knowledge" of the Land, "Comes" from "His Knowledge" of Being "Born Within It" But the Land, and the "Inhabitants" of the Land, "Rejected" Him at Birth, And Upon His Visitation.
Indeed, the Land had its "Own Ruler" and his "Slaves Toiled" under the "Whip" of Their "Master" and they lived and moved and "Reasoned" Like their Master,
Thus All their Master "Gave Them" was "Sweet" and "Right" and the "Master's Fruit" was "Gorged Upon" and the "More they Ate," The "More" the "Master" would Give Them.
Their Master, "Taught Them" what is "In The Earth" and what is "Outside" of the Earth, he "Gave" them the "Number" of "Every Single Thing" in "All" Knowable, Creation,
And the "Manner" of "Their Workings" he "Laid Bare" and "Open" to All.
And Bleating their "Consent" and "Becoming" All, that "Their Master" "Knows" them to be, they "Rush" to his "Temples of Learning" They "Hurry" to his "Houses of Pride" they "Gather" at the "Drinking Well" of his "Ever Growing" knowledge, of "All Things"
Now "Each Sits Churning" to "Make" the "Butter Cream" of "Knowledge" of "Things"
So as to "Create New Things" and "Greater Things" thus "Out" of "Their" knowledge, "Bricks" which "Create" and "Build" the "Likeness" of the "Next Age" are "Formed"
Thus, they "Never See" that the "Edifice" And its "Walls" it is "Creating Around" Them,
Is in "Fact" a "Boundary" and a "Wall" their spirits, Shall "Never" Cross.
You see we are "Addressing" you in "This Way" because your "Intellect" is "Now Grown" Enough to "Hear Us" and "Convey Us, to 'That Within' to "Which" it is "Addressed" and "Could be Read" If "Only" it Would "Shut Up" Its "Protests" on Its "Own Behalf "
Did it "Rise" in "You" Then? Is the "Writer" Telling "Me" to Shut Up? Thats him! Thats " Whom" Jesus "Addressed" "In" Peter, Just Say, Be Silent! Satan, in the "Name" of "Christ" We Are "Busy Reading" and "Scribing" Your "Fate"
For "Although" your "Reasoning" may "Curse" over the "Contents" and its "Inability" to "Grasp" at "Our Meaning" or may even Set its Face "Against" our Works, as we Have "Explained" Before,
"All" Knowledge you "Imbibe" Remains "Subject" to your "Desire" to "Remember" it, and can be "Recalled" Through your "Power" of Reasoning, or can Pop Up "Unexpected" as a Previously "Lost" Memory. But it was "Not Gathered" from "Anywhere Except From "Within" "Youself"
But this knowledge, we "Contain" if "Contained" in the "Correct" Fashion, is "Open" to "Usage" by The "Holy Spirit" to "Convey" the "Shepherds Will" and "Knowledge" of That which "You Alone" Must "Fight" [ The Self ]
This is what Our "Enemy Does" he "Cuts" you off from your "Commander" the Wolves Then "Harass" the "Flocks"
With Endless "Ideas" Endless "Conjectures" Endless "Dogmas" Endless "Arguments" Endless "Theologies" Endless "Traditions" Endless "Laws" Endless "Rules",
And The Endless "Pit" That "Awaits That .Which is "Rapped" up "Tightly" with "Reasoning's Ribbons" of "Deceits" and "Deceptions" and Looks So Shiny...
[ Well the Spirit has just Inspired "Me" Not to "Expect" any "Christmas Cards" this Year]
Everyone knows that the world contains Evil, but Not Everyone, can Accept or Comprehend, that Every Single Human Being, has Ability to Reason Evil, as Good.
Thus when you read or hear of some Evil Done, your Reasoning is "Able to Offer" the "Deceptive Comfort" of "Knowing" 'You' Could "Never" do, such a "Thing" etc...
It is a "Liar" it has "Been" a "Liar" Since the "Beginning" For "That" is Its "Nature"
For the "Reality" is Far "Different" from that, "Open Those" Eye's,
Those who are "Commiting" The Evil, Have a "Reasoning" Mind, "Exactly" as 'You' Do.
Have we "Dispersed" your Peace? Have we blown away the "Warmth" and "Love" you Have for your "Own" Thoughts? and its "Reasonable" Judgements on "All" Things?
Or of your "Love" for your "Own" Ideas? we shall Keep "Attacking" that "Within You" which You "Reflect"
How "Long" you "Remain" on the "Battlefield" Just "Depends" upon the "Size" of "Your" Pride, and the "Mountain" of "Exterior Knowledge" it has "Built" for Itself, to "Overshadow" the "Shepherd" who "Inspires Us"
Jesus is the "Navigator" of "Our" Spirits, and We are "Called" to Live "Within" The Arc of His "Directing" Light, which is "Known Within" as His "Holy Spirit"
"Outside" of this "Leading" and "Guiding" Light, Dwells the "Dark" light of "Self Reasoning" which "Opposes" the "Path" the "Navigator" has "Set" for "You" who's Spirit yet dwells in "Flesh" until a time "Known" Only "Within" the Father, And your "Flesh" shall No Longer "Prevail"
"Here" we sit "Within" the Spiritual "Dark Age" of Humankind, "Drifting" on the "Stormy" Swells, of our Very "Own Actions" and "Thoughts" that we Alone have "Created"
The "Currents" of Our "Personal" Concerns, "Snatch" the "Tiller" from the "Navigators" "Wounded Hands" and "Insists" the "Direction Travelled" will "Serve" the Navigator, And Us "All" Though "He Alone" has "Travelled" these Waters, and "He Alone" has "Plumbed" its "Depths" for "Us All"
Treasure Ships draw "Close Disguised" as "Reasonable Cause" and the "Hidden Rocks" between "Thought" and its "Direction" have a "Nature" that can Only "Reflect" Your "Own"
What light do You Follow? for "No Mortal" has "Power" to "Reason Against" the "Interests" of The Self, "From Which" the "Reasoning" is "Born" and "Springs" though Many "Imagine" they "Do Such"
They have Not any "Comprehension" of the "Plundred Shipwreck" they "Have Become"
"Look" at the "Ocean" of "Our Humanity" its "Waves" of "Deceptions" and "Wonders" its "Sudden Squalls" of "Wars" and "Plagues" and "Every Day" it is "Raining" the "Manner" of "New Ideas" that "Serve" But the "Few" who "Have" Them
And they "Eat" of it "Greedily" Imagining it can carry them through the "Stormy" Sea's of life, and they Never "Comprehend" the knowledge they Eat, is a "Ballast" beyond their Hulls "Ability" to Carry, and Remain "Spiritually Seaworthy"
Faith "Trusts" the "Navigator" and "Never Questions" the "Direction" that Reason "Imagines" it is "Bound For"
Because the Kingdom of God is Like a Fine Landscape Painting, Except it Cannot be Seen unless we Become a Part of its Scenery.
The Self in its Reasoning, "Reflects" a light that is "Fallen" and "Defeated" and He who Defeated it in Us All, was called in the Flesh Jesus, and is "Known" in the Spirit as Christ,
The Mind of Christ, is the Mind of Jesus who Defeated the Power of the Fallen light, and did "Overcome" it for "All" of Us,
So that we too may Set "Our Compass" to His, and might Sail through the World and its Multitude of "Deceptions" and "Sorrows"
But now Each would be their "Own Captain" and Each will have The "Navigator" they "Prefer" each time they stand before a "Reflection" of "Themselves" in a Mirror.
The Navigator Knows you are Drawn to the light of your Reasoning Self, for like the Compass ever Points to Magnetic North, so does the light of your Own Thoughts lead you.
But the Knowledge of the Navigator Concerning the Chart He Has Established, Knows that True North is slightly in a Different Direction, than Magnetic North.
Thus when your thoughts direct a certain form of Reasoning Power, it is Serving and Heading Directly Towards the Source of that Very Power.
In the Garden Sweat, Jesus is Grappling with the knowledge His Human Reasoning has, Concerning the Nature of His Fate should He remain.
You see He Remained Innocent, and He Would Condemn the Nature of that which Reasons in its "Own" Interests "Alone" by doing then what was "Un-Reasonable"
Suffering and Dying in Innocence, whilst "Never" Having "Served" His Self Once, and thus "Remained Pure" and "Unblemished" by that which "Defeats" All "Mortals"
Yes. The "Power" of their Very "Own" Reasoning, which is now "Greater" in this "Age" than "Any Other" Before it, and Which by "Nature" Shall "Create" its "Own End"
