The Plus Of The Cross

 

Where can I begin to convey the great plus sign the cross of Jesus represents to me? Other forms of worship have their meaningful symbols and gods but Christianity and the cross represent a god who can empathise with his Creation. A God that can defy death. A living god full of great promises and salvation.

Jesus hung on a cross between Heaven and Earth until the death of his mortal body. He made the atoning sacrifice for our sins with his death and blood. He understood what it was like to be human. He was a man until his death on the cross. Then his divinity went to work and raised him from the dead. Jesus knows human life and death. Jesus knows the human family structure. He was Mary's son adopted by Joseph and the brother of Joseph's other children. Jesus is a family man. He worked with Joseph in the family trade of carpentry. Jesus was a fellow laborer. With his faith in his divinity, he began his doomed ministry of miracles, teaching, and prophecy until his date with the cross which he foreknew. Jesus was a man of great faith and believed that beyond death lay his greatest mission as the Saviour son of God!

Jesus is humanity's death-defiant god. He liberates us from the fear of what to do if our god dies. In Jesus the answer is to relax, he will rise from the grave. In his ministry, he raised people back to life from death but his greatest resurrection was that of himself. He will never abandon us by dying on the job. His reign will be forever. He is our eternal god!

Jesus identified himself as one with the Heavenly Father. He was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophesies about a coming suffering servant child of God. With that, there are great promises in the Old Testament for those who can believe the prophets. In his lifetime Jesus made some great promises too. Having a living God is a position of great promise as any fantasy game player knows the only thing better than a wizard's help is a living god on your side!

There you have it. When I see a cross I think of god's empathy, eternity, and great promises in Jesus. Jesus was more than a man in my belief, and a very human identifiable with deity. He was not a Zeus enthroned on a mountaintop but a living god who became like his creation and offered Salvation and the gifts of the Holy Spirit if we can believe...

Orientational Bullets

 

1. The infinite outer space as God-mind visualizer of universes, creator of planes of existence, giver of eternal life and gifts.

2. Matter building blocks other than compressed infinitesimal dimensions of space as surface creations masking the infinite space matter in the depth of everything.

3. Space is formable into space balls (like snowballs) and space beams (like lazars).

4. Everything, everyone, everywhere as part (members) of God's body of work linked to his infinite mind's eye life and potential.

5. The adversary to mastery and normal life expects no one to hold onto belief beyond simple finite sensory illusions disputing the facts with fictions of the senses. This is especially true if one is born into an illusory creation.  

6. Focus. Concentrate. Practice visualization (guided daydreaming). Pi and e, irrational numbers all show infinite quantities, numbers workable with, in a shorthand notation given value, to various outcomes like calculation of the area of a circle. 

7. Instead of sitting a student body cross-legged in meditation until they open their link to the infinite mind's eye, I share knowledge of the infinite Godhead. 

8. For a koan I suggest " what is real".

9. For a seed thought I recommend " infinite mind's eye visualization creations".

10. For a mantra I offer " I see through the veil of Maya to infinite reality".

11. A great two-word mantra is "members only" thought or said aloud dwelling on everything, everyone, everywhere being part of God's body of work.

This concludes the orientational bullets. 

 

Contrasts Between Creations and Heaven!

 

We will plunge into some fundamental contrasts between Creations and Heaven this time. In creations, often, the lifeforms are mortal. In Heaven, the beings exist for all eternity. Also, in Creations, mortal lives are often prone to afflictions. In the Heavens, everyone is immune to almost everything except themselves or getting immersed in contaminants. In Creations, the explanation for the ongoings is often a tale told by experience, whether of a living god or research scientists. In the Heavenly realms, the ongoings are described by the think tank, and there are many different editions of the explanation, which basically is reality is God, he can create and give life and has natural abilities he shares with the living beings both in the Heavens and Creations.

In many Creations, you will find the lifeforms are mortal. From plants to sea, land, and airborne lives to even intelligent life. All share being limited in their assorted lifespans. All will someday become inanimate and cease the activities of their life. In Heaven, they live forever. They are eternal eyes. Their vision bodies are in perpetual motion. They will never become inanimate. They have endless lives.

The mortals in Creations are often very prone. Damages to their bodies are possible, even fatal at times. War, crime, accidents, diseases, and disasters plague intelligent lives with their repeated and relentless occurrences. In the Heavenly realms, there are war games. No one wants a war, as everyone is too gifted with power. The only crime possible is contaminating others or their work; again, everyone is too potent to consider doing so. Foreknowledge prevents accidents. The only diseases are mental. Disasters are not caused because it is Heaven, and God would become very upset. 

Creations are often the work of epic storytellers spinning their yarn to entertain their chosen audience. In the story, the intelligent lives may be told a story by their living god, who is the storyteller about what is happening. Or, this narrative in the Creation may be omitted, and the intelligent lives, through research, tell their own explanation of what they experience. Both may leave much untold. In Heaven, the think tanks have extensively surveyed reality and produced editions of reports on the ongoings therein. One may choose a report or refer to them all in forming one's orientation. Everyone can eyewitness Creations and enjoy Heavenly Realms memberships. 

ALL!

 

Today we are going to digress on the ALL lifestyle in Heaven. What does ALL stand for? A is for abundance, L is for liberty, and the other L is for love. These three words describe life in Heaven for the eternal beings God created to be his family. Every life God creates has the opportunity to join the family in the fullness of time. Some after their first mortal life is over.

A stands for abundance. This abundance includes the creations of God conjurable for use over and over again. There is no limit to the number of times a creation can be conjured. Then there is all the fresh-grown stuff like fruits, vegetables, and livestock all waiting for a ripe harvest for distribution. Then there are the manufactured goods. Heaven is full of the abundance of contributed labor. Plus the vast talents of the entertainers to pass time enjoying.

The first L stands for liberty. Liberty to any and all harmless acts. Be these acts theatrical crime waves, horrors, dramas, romances, any category at all as well as nonfiction life in Heaven. Nonfiction life is family life. Heaven is one big genealogical family tree. Every branch of the tree traces back to the invisible infinite living god. Everyone has vision bodies, adjustable vision, in addition to the natural organ of perception the all container or infinite composes.

The other L represents love. Heaven's family shares a family love life for normal relationships between the parties. Everyone is raised in knowledge at home or by proxy education receipt at a distance. Everyone knows alternate lifestyles they can choose from but family love is the normal relationship. Love is not reserved for a partner for a lifetime. Everyone can choose a loving home family environment.

The ALL lifestyle of Heaven is what is waiting on the other side of the veil of finite sense reception. After our mortal lives are over and we are restored to vision bodies family members we will perceive this truth. Now we must pass our lives subject to the corruption of original sin and suffering the curse of God. Someday after death, we will be home with God again.   

  

Good Grief?!

 

Life is full of grief. Major illness. Natural disasters. Fire. Crime. War. Death. Each of these is a source of grief. So much more in life too causes grief like arguments, bad report cards, unexpected car repairs. So what do I mean by good grief? Does good grief exist is the question! By good grief I mean grief that you know is but for a moment to end in joy when the fullness of time has expired. Good grief is a temporary suffering on route to happily ever after. Good grief is what any grief becomes when you factor in a Holy God into the scene.

There is plenty that causes grief in our daily human lives. Covid 19, the flu, and even the common cold can all bring on a sense of grief. No one on Earth is immune to such daily ravages as sudden illness. Then there are the everyday natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and eruptions - you get the picture. There is no shortage of things to grieve over. Wildfires, building fires, crime, war and death. Not to mention that assignment you let go till the last minute and the overdue bills. Life can plague a person with grief.

Is there good grief? Besides letting go and having a good cry is there good grief? Is the full range of human suffering and all the grief in the world serving a higher purpose. A cathartic purpose. A divine revelatory purpose of showing utopias dwelling people that there is more to life possible. Things could have turned out so very differently to they all lived happily ever after. Instead of being endowed by the natural godhead to be prepared for any situation, we could easily have fallen short of the mark of intelligent life. We could easily have been eyewitnesses to doom rather than utopian potentials getting realized. 

With a Holy God on the scene, we are in a greatly improved condition even when we have reason to grieve. We possess the great hope God will turn our tears into joy and our sobbing into gladness. With a Holy God, we inherit a life graced with justice, forgiveness with purging for our wrongs to our fellow beings, and gifts awaiting our willingness to receive them. Prophecy and miracles wait to become a part of our lives taking us to a faithful knowledge all is well. If we are prone to the ravages of illness and time, with a Holy God we can look forward to the life to come when we will no longer be so subject. If we are mortal we can look forward to eternal life after death as every avatar into a mortal creation does. If we are unbelievers we can look forward to overt God signs convincing us to join in belief in good grief and happily ever after!

Change!

 

We are raised and educated with certain views given to us as basic facts. One is we have intelligent life because of the development of our brains. Another is we have an anatomical body supporting our mental life by our care for it. And third is we are human beings living the best lives we have developed our ability to achieve. These could all use a little change as far as my discovery of the infinite as alive, mind, and God indicates. First, we need to acknowledge a mind/brain connection between the infinite mind and our brain. Second, we have to grow aware we have a vision body and are part of the visualization creation God is undertaking at this time. Finally, we need to address that we are God almighty about his works in creation.

If I am correct about space forming an infinite mind by its basic natural phenomena then we are connected to this infinite mind through our brains. We have a very usable link to infinite knowledge on tap. We just have to grow aware this is the fact of the matter everything is created out of and start using our link. As far as I can figure outer space is composed of infinitesimal compressed dimensions of space each likewise composed in infinite endless progression. Outer space is infinite by observing any finite area one comes to has an exterior. All this space predates creations and their contents including sense organs. Space perceives itself and is the natural mind behind the creations we find ourselves in. Sense organs mask space as the membrane connective tissue that causes sensory reception. Space itself possesses all the properties we experience in creation.

Our body too is composed of space and exists in a visualization creation and is a vision interacting in the vision we call reality. Everything we see, feel, taste, touch, hear, etcetera are all visualization created and show properties of space. Outer space is a living God and infinite mind that can create universes, planes, creatures, and even interactive intelligent life. We may not realize this until our mortal lives are over and we are reunited with the Godhead. Then it will be too clear while now we have the illusion of building blocks of matter to credit so much of what we experience.  

As to our ego principle. We may think we are a human being. We may identify with our body or family tree. Yet as I figure we are all acts of God. God is almighty and can perform any material he creates. Birds, fish, animals, plants, or even tools using intelligent life. God the infinite mind possesses the Godhead theater of the mind to act out his creations in. God is the author, and director, stars in and is all accessories in these performances. Like in our dreams, there is nothing but the working of our brain so in Godhead theater, there is the working of God. We are a part of the body of life God has grown into. As Jesus part human and part divine suffered the cross due to his humanity so we too can suffer and feel very less than divine. Yet like players in a performance, we mask the divine truth in favor of our great performances.

Until our performance of humanity is over or we grow more faithful in life's divine reality we will remain on the brink of disbelief. Disbelief due to this creation being very elaborate in building blocks credited with all the phenomena we experience in our daily lives. Disbelief because of our humanity and its shortcomings. Disbelief because so much is beyond our control and we have no experience of the divine God behind it all. Consider this though - an infinite mind visualization creation, doesn't that fit the bill for a theory of everything?

The Obstacle Course

 

The modern opinions of science and medicine are that spirituality is all a bunch of nonsense. The universe was not created, there is no God, and there are no spiritual gifts. Sure there's third eyesight or the vivid imagination but that's all. Some people believe their way to madness and imagine they are seeing angels or talking to God. It is all in their minds. Yet one is only one miracle or overt sign away from science and medicine not knowing what they are talking about.

This opinion of science and medicine is a favorite of unbelievers. They quote the good doctor that it is all in their head who see angels or talk to God. The devil himself would be proud to quote the psychiatrist to the struggling believer with a give it up. There's no God. One could surely see with a vivid imagination one could daydream up God or angelic visitations and be confused. 

The blind see. The deaf hear. The lame walk. Clearly seeing any of these Biblical miracles performed one would know miracles exist. The gift of prophecy too shows there is foreknowledge of future things. The speaking and understanding of foreign tongues shows you are not just imagining a miracle. Yet one has to seek to find out if God is on his throne in Heaven, this is creation, and miracles do happen. 

Until you get an overt sign it is easy to buy into the science of the times. The very ideas that the universe is not created, there are no spiritual gifts and there is no God are like a spiritual obstacle course to growing in faith. These ideas can totally derail you and lead you to the scientific explanation. Not believing is easy these days. Having faith until you get a sign is the hard thing to do.
