"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing." Socrates

When we profess we are wise we become fools. It is hard to see past the box one put's themselves in. Only grace (which is the equivalent to take no thought) allows us beyond this point.

We can’t find our self unless we lose our self, which is a truth that must have the past and future settled first before it can be an ever increasing present truth that one in consciousness lives in by going no more out of.

The mentality of a servant depicts the truth that the servant does not understand what truth is, and therefore cannot abide in the house that is God forever as a state of who he is.

Know the father and you will know who you are ...

Lay-hold on the life that is eternal ...

Yet Christ was a servant. The servant shall be the greatest in heaven. To be the servant is to be like Christ. The son of God came to serve.

I just ran across this scripture and remembered this conversation. Its interesting that Jesus calls them servants in chapter 13 but then calls the friends in chapter 15. He seems to change this title after teaching them what he is doing. He still teaches servitude however, it is about love. In chapter 13 we see servants who serve each other as Christ served them. However in chapter 15 we see friends who love one another as Christ loved them.

John 13:15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

John 15:14 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

Perception is everything ... a servant does not abide in the house forever, because by inheritance he does not belong there. The only true servant is a son, but he is not a servant (what is in a word, or how many words does it take to describe one word ... or from how many places can one see the word servant from) God is always taking us some place to see something from) and in the end a coming out of something to go into something to find that you were there all along) all through perception, or our soul as something we lose to find).

In conversation with another today about Pastor's I had written this ... " Peter said (in reference to the duty of Pastors) if any man speaks let him speak as the oracle of God (which is inclusive (using the words any man). Pastor is a gift not a person (which is what people make them into) there really is only one who can lead you into the truth that he is), the gifts being shown as the truth of a servant (a mentality) of one who does not abide in the house forever, which are given until one comes to the fulness of the stature they are, which is both individual and collective. If you are a servant, what you are a servant to depends on who you're mother is, which is just one point of reference from where one can see what is in the word servant as it relates to the whole of the Bible as one narrative of one son."

Jesus speaks a living word that if one enters into it they can abide in it in a way that it is ever increasing in them as t perception they live in which relates to who they are in him. The feasts speak to this same progression of understanding to bring one to as does the journey of Israel, or Abraham which Jesus literal life revealed the same pattern, which was the pattern (in a different form) that Moses saw in the mount, but became a truth cast down, or as something outside of us, and not something that happens in us.

To be of this world is for self to be generated by what our natural five senses tell us we are, and to be caught between the two narratives that the bible likens as a cracked cistern, or a cake not turned (among other such pictures of the same truth, such as one (Samson) caught between two pillars (fruits of a tree), which the pulling down of causes the house/image of flesh to fall). You cannot be two, you can only be one, anything less than this creates a wandering in our soul after the truth that we are.

We one with God and it is not by labor of thought that we attain to it or keep it.

A son is free.

For someone who doesnt labor in thought you sure seem to have a lot of thought. Why do your thoughts come out in words? Why do you put forth effort to think on them and to even write them down? Paul says to meditate on truth and on pure things. I find in necessary to follow that teaching from Paul. Jesus says that if we keep his words then the spirit will teach us, I find it necessary to mediate on the commands of Christ as well. As paul teaches us to mediate on truth, i think this is also what Christ means by keeping his words. It means to put them in heart and mind, to do them and think about them. The holy spirit reminds us about those things as well. David often spoke of meditating on Gods law, and on creation itself too.

Let me share my thoughts. This world is full of chaos and confusion, along with distraction and strife. What way do i go? How will i know?

Be still my soul. Let my mind enter into peace. See the clear and simple path before you. This path is clear and nothing stands in the way. It is the road the Lord has given to me. It cuts straight through the world around me and nothing can obstruct its path. There are walls which hold back the world around me. Think on the simple things the Lord has taught me. Love, faith, hope. Seek the kingdom of heaven . Love my neighbor as myself. Humble myself and walk in simplicity, do not fret. Just think about the simple things we are taught to follow. If i stumble Gods grace will sustain me. God is merciful and full of compassion.

I often meditate like that.

... and I'm holding back ... I can't really write down but a small snippet of what I see as I am lead ever deeper into the kingdom, and the cohesiveness of this one truth that God is, which I find to be just a word that tries (in one form) to define the purpose of God which is himself in me (as Paul had said, who is in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure, by walking in us, or walking with him (two can't walk together unless they first agree), which is alluding to the scripture of the voice of the Lord walking in the garden (which is a picture of our soul) in the cool/spirit of the day/light/Christ.

I write because I want those to know that the mind of Christ that they possess is a truth that is ever opening in one just as the kingdom (which again is just a word that shows a facet of the same one truth that God is in relationship to us as a son (as it is God all in all, and as it is Christ all in all) the kingdom not being a separate truth to God no more than knowledge being separate from self, and therefore not of gain, or labor of thought.

I have found the place of no thought yields thought without measure, which Einstein alluded to when he said “The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why.”

When we keep his words/abide in his words/ we enter into his words, which become defined by the one Word that is God which we begin by this washing to see where we are in relationship to our Father and the son that we are.

To develop a relationship with God costs you your soul, your thoughts, your will, your reasoning, your emotions. Most are satisfied with hearing Moses, and if this is where you are at in the journey in, then this is where your are at (we can only see what he allows us to see), or in the same breath many what to build God a house so remain outside of the truth that they are, glimpsing it but never entering into it (let alone remaining, where in fact they are), which Jesus used the word viper and pit to try and define what this process leads to.

A cross and take no thought are the same truth, just as thou shalt not eat and the Passover as a feast one keeps within themselves are the same truth. To love without thought (or motive of gain) is for this to be sown in the one who sows it (Jesus' be ... attitudes). If we lose our soul we indeed find it, and the finding it becomes to us something that we have possessed or are from the beginning.

So few are willing to enter into the kingdom that their imagination is (though the time for this is now), their own reasoning forbidding them. They don’t understand that they were clean from the beginning.

There really is no such thing as sin (in the mind of God, or mind of Christ, that we possess (if you are in him who has no sin, then sin is not in you, or you are not in him, which deals with the perception of where one is); sin is because we believe it is.

It was never about the commandment not to eat (even though it was) but what the words became through the process of time to our soul, the woman in picture).

It is in this manner that the soul/helpmeet/feminine helps us to come to the understanding of what our nakedness is in relationship to reasoning birthed of a woman (or the earth in picture as one in labor, a mist/sweat came up from the ground and God made man out of it/which becomes the Ishmael/Cain/elder, etc. of our perception) this is our perception of our Father and of ourselves, it’s not God or who we are, it is who we think he is and we are/the bible being a means to an end) from a seed/word (which is represented in the tree of duality, knowledge not being separate from self).

The Bible is 66 books, the other six is our (first born) perception of it.

The title (something someone sent me) “88% cannot watch this for more than 15 seconds” is like the commandment not to eat to one's soul. It becomes a law (in our mind) that genders to lack, and a making to have because of it, but as Cain was told, we should rule over it, this process of the soul.

Moses saw God in the form that surrounded seed time and harvest over the span of a year/years (days months, times (with its feastings) the pattern that he saw in the mount becoming an earthly truth, as something made in the image of it (having to break the law to keep it (a pattern son/temple/body, and the feasting on the truth of it (eating Lamb), and why Jesus would say that the kingdom of God is like this in us. It is a perception of truth that changes from the seed, to the fullness of us individually as that seed, but this happens in us over and over until the law is fulfilled in us (or law of our mother/out of Jerusalem), which is the perception of who we are as one born of God, which is in relation to every tree (I see men as trees) of the garden.

Passover sees the death of self but not without one who wanders the wilderness which drives the duality of the feast of Pentecost in the relationship to a feast one is called up to keep, which was what the wilderness journey represented to Israel, the land in form being tabernacles in relationship to self as an only begotten (which Solomon was a picture of as well as the holy of holies is, and which pictures like this that relate to this truth are strewn about the Bible from cover to cover eluding to the same one truth as portions of one narrative (or the process in us of the coming to) of one son (it was how Jesus came to himself, being taught of the Father/everyone who is taught of the Father comes to him, the son is made all things to them).

Faith is the person hoped for, and the evidence of him who is not seen.

The natural shows us the spiritual and the spiritual shows us the natural. It all points to one thing, which is the reality that we do not see.

The woman (a Samaritan woman, and the picture of the duality of our soul) at the well had five husbands (natural senses) that gave her a sixth that was not her own ...her true husband (the 7th one) sat on the well, who would become the rest of our soul.

It goes without saying, that if we say we see our sin remains ...

Cant i see both my sin and my redemption at the same time? I struggle to follow the good things we are taught, and i may stumble at times, but i keep trying, even so i see my failures and i am humbled. However, i also see a complete new man in heaven. So i see both the old and the new at the same time.
