What does god judge you on in life's journey? ( Archived) (42)

Mark 1:29-39
King James Version
29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

Luke 11:9-13 FBV
I tell you: ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened.

I am familiar with the King James version, brother.

The King James version is old testament, penned and heavily edited for the purpose of power by the Romans at Nicea around 365 AD, as I recall, in order to create a fearful god and to control their empire. You may check history for these facts if you will. The Romans were assisted in this by a man named Josephus, a Jew turned Roman for financial gain and status to edit the truth for the Romans preference for power over the Jews. (and others)

The words themselves in the King james version are metaphors (references to cities, towns etc) for the mind because there is nothing beyond the mind. Nothing exists outside of the mind and that includes any devil as well as God. All things are of the mind and only the mind.

This thing that we call life is a dream and as such is not real. Only the spirit/soul/God is real. Anything that tries to create a devil, sin, illness is an illusion made by ego in an attempt to keep you separated from God and what you really are, - love. We are not the body, nor are we illness. The ego is all about war, and fear in your mind. Whether you listen and pay attention to it, or not is your free will.

We are one mnd, presently in an illusion where ego does insane things in your mind to convince you of your lack of power and your lack of love and to then project that weakness and anger outward to others. The devil and any 'idea' that separates you from your brothers is simply a metaphor for "wrong mindedness" brought forth by ego.
Bless you.

Thinking and worse, believing, is where the fear lies. Fear constructs many many weird illusions in the mind.

There is no devil, Ray. There are however, beliefs, thoughts, actions that take you away from being in touch with God/love. Again this black versus white thing was created by the Romans in their quest for power.

For instance, the seven deadly sins are not sins at all, but enumerated ways that can keep you from staying in contact with HS (Holy Spirit aka Higher Self). They take you off track from being who you are, - love. This happens primarily because they (the seven deadlies) are things that appease the ego's need to have/identify/own and control things through the body. Any time that you defer to ego, you are stepping away from God, joy, love, happiness.

What does this say to you Ray? I can tell you what it says to me. It says that your way home is through HS (Holy Spirit aka Higher Self) to God. All you need do is to ask. You want to do this in meditation preferably and you want to be sure that you are not 'hearing' ego yammering back at you. Holy Spirit's answer is soft and lacks any notion of ego tendencies.


And for your reading pleasure -

"You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. Is it your decision to do so? You recognize from your own experience that what you see in dreams you think is real while you are asleep. Yet the instant you waken you realize that everything that seemed to happen in the dream did not happen at all. You do not think this strange, even though all the laws of what you awaken to were violated while you slept. Is it not possible that you merely shifted from one dream to another, without really waking?"

hey bod!

Thanks, that is a perfect insertion in this conversation.

This also has parallels with The Law of One, for seekers, wishing to raise their vibration in order to progress into the next density through their next incarnation. When you understand oneness and its wholeness and entirety, it supersedes all wrong mindedness.

For the time is coming when men will not tolerate wholesome teaching. They will want something to tickle their own fancies, and they will collect teachers who will pander to their own desires. They will no longer listen to the truth, but will wander off after man-made fictions. For yourself, stand fast in all that you are doing, meeting whatever suffering this may involve. Go on steadily preaching the Gospel and carry out to the full the commission that God gave you.
