  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

To understand we must first quite our mind; only then do we begin to understand this river that flows out of Eden, as a truth relative to who we are.

This first river is parted when it comes out of the garden, they flow between two banks (of a tree), but the banks of the soul that comes down from God out of heaven, are the tree of life, which is also the tree in the midst of the river as it was the tree in the midst of the garden (a masculine truth) or one in the midst of the golden candlesticks (relative to us, both individually and collectively).

Everything is relative, and quantified by the one who it is relative to.

I've had many pearls cast at me, but they became seed to me when I came to understand the one who was casting them.

"If one has not agreed with their adversary, one is still in prison."

"another scripture i ponder often."

This answer to another reply about the two kingdoms in the OT I found relative to self when pondering the different aspects of this parable of life ("My words are spirit, and they are life").

Was Adam a Jew or a Gentile … As Levi was in Abraham who paid tithes (as Paul had said), was not Abraham in Adam who had two sons (as Abram/Abraham did) good son bad son, the fruit of the same tree), even though the inheritance of God is an only begotten to whomsoever will drink of this truth; the pattern begins in Adam and is finished in Christ; anything less than one becomes an image to us that carries us away (in our mind), it becomes an adversary to us.

At any given moment one can enter into the most holy place, but to remain one’s eye must be single, which speaks to soul as being what is found in this moment.

To be born again is to come into something without any preconceived images of what something is, or is not; it is to see for the first time (without the limitation of thought, or soul), but it is a place where one does not remain; because we must enter into what we see, it is here where we find our soul again; it is a present truth, that is likened to entering into the gates of the city, or entering into the promise land, or an entering into his rest, which are just pictures/facets of what Abraham was also searching for (those who seek shall find/Abraham saw my day and rejoiced in it), a city, whose builder and maker is God.

It is not enough to see it we must enter into what we see, as a place (in thought) where we remain to the exclusion of all else (not turning back into the wilderness, or the putting your hand to the plough and looking back, (another form of an eye not single) which becomes to us a bringing forth hundredfold now in this time, much like Isaac, much like Jesus, it is an all that the Father has is mine.

(An incomplete thought … ) Jesus constantly brought things to the extreme concerning things that are good and things that are evil with the intent to bring those that heard his words to the end of their own soul, to a forsaking of their own reasoning, or the picking up of their cross, which is shown or seen in the first commandment, or the keeping of the feast of Passover as a feast one is called up to keep, firstly to confusion, or the earthly Jerusalem (which produces an Ishmael), then unto the heavenly reality of what the earthly depicted and that we had become ensnared by the image of in our consciousness, or soul. The cross he was hung on was the same truth as the first tree that crucified Adam as the son that he was (or every time Israel set up camp the truth was crucified in their midst). It in truth was the lamb that appeared to have been slain (emphasis on appeared to have been) from this foundation of the world (not the earth) or foundation of confusion that divided the inheritance into two sons or fruits of one tree. The confusion still lies over the soul (which perception is now coming to an end) which cannot accept that they have always been one (in one there is no confusion of face) with their father from the beginning (which in type the realm of matter even scientist are now seeing paints for us in the natural the reality of the one truth we came out of), as a place where they were in him, hence the question to Adam, Where art thou, who told you, and have you eaten (3, the number of perception (like Abraham’s three men, or Job’s three friends, or Nebuchadnezzar’s three Hebrew children, the three sons of Noah, or Terah’s three sons (which equate to the four (earthly, as opposed to the river that was one before it departed the garden) rivers (the fourth being a river of confusion/Euphrates/the river of Babylon, what the three become summed up in (which (like all things) speaks of the process in us) that are parted when they flow out of the garden, or the feast the woman (or our soul) prepares) which are questions of perception.

An exert from a series of email's to a dear friend not to long ago ...

What I am about to write (you won’t hear in a church, or get in a seminary, or attain to at a university; only the spirit in you reveals the truth in and to you, and this in one form relates to the truth that the city’s light is, in respect to the river that flows out of this throne, where the light of this city is that there is no temple, or something that separates us from the love of the truth) and relates to all of us as the Adam at the beginning of the Bible, where God starts out with one (that became two) and then narrows it back down to one again (or where two become one again) which speaks to the process happening in us, and the way, truth and life that Jesus is to us who fulfilled the pattern without eating of his own reasoning, represented in him by the words that he heard (this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased) that drove him to the wilderness for the temptation to eat of his own reasoning, just as it had happened to Adam (Adam being in picture the image of God and the woman his soul and the wilderness he entered that his soul gave him as a perception he lived in, which relates to God’s three questions, Where art thou, Who told you, and Have you eaten.) In scripture (though this is found in the whole of creation as well) things equate to truths that deal with the kingdom of God, which is just another way of saying God’s perception of the truth of h).self and is the very same kingdom God appointed to us out of his good pleasure to the end that he would fill all things with himself, which you see in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream where a stone becomes a mountain and fills the whole earth (even though this glory has always filled the earth as it has filled this temple that we are in whom we live and move and have our being, wherein the treasure has been hidden (a mystery) from the beginning and inclusive of all).Nebuchadnezzar made an image out of the dream God gave him which brought him to the end of himself found in the seven years where he became no different than a beast of the field, though his wisdom in the end was much like Solomon’s, or the prodigal son (when he came to himself). God called Jesus out of Egypt (as he calls every son (no gender not an issue) who was the truth of what Israel was a picture of. The same truth of the woman that comes out of a man is the same truth of Israel coming out of Egypt, which reveals the feminine or the soul in relationship to knowledge where through disobedience in thought sets the foundation of the world as both good and evil (which is the death of innocence, or in picture the lamb that was slain). In this is the picture of the two sons which is manifested as two mountains in the wilderness (which equates to the feast of Pentecost but in relationship to our reasoning and not that of God’s who sees light and darkness as the same), where Israel wanders around for forty years between these two fruits of a tree until all the men/thoughts of warfare die out. Passover equates to Egypt as the wilderness equates to Pentecost and the land to Tabernacles (and to name a few) you find this same picture in Abraham’s three men, or Saul, David, and Solomon, or the outer court, holy place, most holy place (of Moses’ tabernacle, or Solomon’s temple, which equate to wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, or spirit, soul and body (which the first representation of the order of this was an Ishmael (or body/Saul/Esau/Dan/Cain first), but these all depict the process of the truth being revealed in us of the son that we are). Jesus kept the feasts (which like the creative days (seven) there are seven feasts (rest of a son) within nine months (a birthing of a son and the rest of God, or where God rests) but the year he kept them in was a year defined as acceptable (or this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased).
Let me set this out, that God’s rest is us as he is ours, where we walk as one or where he walks in us, where our thoughts are his thoughts and not a voice that is separate from us as it was to Adam when he ate of his own reasoning and became afraid (which can be seen at the mountain in the wilderness which was supposed to be the mountain of blessing that Paul likened to Hagar and her son, which is just another way of saying our perception of the son that we are), even though he heard the voice of the Lord walking in the cool/spirit, of the Day (the garden representing his/our soul). We must understand that the good as well as the evil both lead to death of self in the day (or in the light) that we eat of it, which is to say a light of our own making which gain deals with our own reasoning based on something outside if us. There are many views of the feast of Pentecost, which the first picture of this is found in the words, Let there be light, where a duality is manifested, where darkness becomes evil by default when God calls the light good. The first Pentecost like the first son is an Ishmael, or Esau, or Adam, Cain, Saul, etc. (rejected, and whose son is not accepted (which comes in the feminine and relates to our soul as the masculine relates to the image/seed our soul is impregnated by. The land that one lives as a stranger in is their own soul, where there is no rest, but a wandering around between two fruits of a tree, or two mountains, two sons, which is the picture of an inheritance divided, due to our perception that we are not one with our Father and that all that our Father has, has always been ours. It is a perception seeded by an image without us and speaks to the garden as both God’s and ours, the difference being that God’s garden is a garden enclosed, it is not seeded from without, God finding no truth outside of himself, and his children being no less so, which truth Jesus came to declare and when he left the declaration of where this Christ/son/kingdom would be. Adam became lost in his own reasoning (as we do) because he did not pick up his cross which is the only way to find the knowledge that leads to understanding of the truth of self, whom only the one we came out of can define. In all this I have barely begun to scratch the surface of how to enter into the most holy place of your being and remain though it is found in the first commandment as it was in Jesus' word of Take no thought, or pick up your cross.

The 5 stages of grief that end in acceptance/agreence of adversary the inherent state of being where in all those negative emotions lays the 4th river to confuse (the tree split in two) of body and mind to think in body and mind that is in effect the ultimate thought hung on the tree of the first stage, denial of one, is one, with the I AM. See it as the picture above to thought, don't know it through and through and that is a visiting to the city. A staying there is in of itself my own limitation worked upon in His will in these strange pictures in part (yet truth is found to the being in the deepness/strangeness :thumbsup:). As the oracle stated to Neo in the Matrix, "Sorry kid, you got the gift but maybe you are waiting on something". In furtherance to that it is a standing aside of will. As if will was mine to begin with yet one lives in that delusion until a staying there in the city can be obtained in there is no ...Spoon (Matrix referral ^_^ ) /World/Adversary. These are just the stepping stones of confusion to overcome. Adversary is a format for our limitedness so God may speak to the state of being in a limited format. To overcome what is read of knowledge and seek Spirit is the end game. Bible- BasicInformationBeforeLeavingEarth . To further upon the bible is seen, here in, of state of being or living God and this is good and is the crux of Deeper Fellowship. Using truth in the only book in existence is the council combined to the vessel of x141 where in "I" might smite the rock (terminology borrowed :thumbsup:) in not understanding in the measure for self is in the way and penning a lie that is of my own ignorance. Does one continue in this mode of thinking or turn the lens towards self with the sun behind lens burning self in light. Depending on an individuals measure, anger can arise (second step of grief) and bashing ensues that confusion is apparent to said individual by their knowledge alone. Thus we get usage of scripture to show wrongness of the individuals process from oneness back too oneness. Not seen by the individual throwing scripture around in knowledge's sake is that they do what the flesh desires and a mind is caught in law that is of knowledge and confusion is their lot today. Is it bad, God forbid no, its not bad for this is the learning tool until a snap of the mind will be the outcome of applying law and faith to being. As x141 stated above , following the fourth river will lead to three then two then one for the believer (yet to paint another picture). For one in the Spirit , sentences such as, "what does that mean to me..." hold great weight yet are the very fabric of lightness in perception and process to see and hear the very depth of that simple sentence. :clap:

The story of not entering into the rest that God is, and therefore I am (we are) begins in Adam and ends in Christ. If you have not in thought ceased from your own works you have not entered which is to say, if you are not free, the son has not set you free. It has never been a matter of thought, but the reality of the truth from the beginning of the sons that we are. It is in thought the kingdom of God, or the mind of Christ. A possession hid in us (which process is the revealing of that which always was) from the beginning, as us.

At any moment we can enter into what some would deem the Eden experience, it in picture is as a river of pleasure that flows into our soul, the pleasure wherein our soul was planted (eastward in Eden (which is to say, in eternal pleasure) and is the pasture Jesus referenced as being both in, and out).

In this God has never opposed us, it is we who oppose ourselves.

(As the river before it departed the garden) our body is filled with light only if our eye/soul is single (the garden lives by the waters that flow out of pleasure, which is the pleasure God purposed in himself, he is the good pleasure of his will) and this in us.
