The image of Jesus most people hold is wrong and wrung through centuries of:
ideological whitewashing
beautified marketing
sanitized Sunday School summaries.
He’s often pictured as an ethereal peace-giver, universally adored, calmly glowing in a ‘soft sepia light’.
But this wasn’t the Jesus known to his followers. Not even close.
In fact, many who encountered Jesus in the flesh found him either;
confusing, at best
mentally unstable, at worst.
He wasn’t simply controversial, he was considered a threat to both religious orthodoxy and social order.
The sanitized version of Christ so many cling to was shaped after the cross, after the church industrial complex took control of his narrative.
Let’s take a scalpel to the original reactions—the raw, unsettling perceptions of Jesus while he was still walking the earth.
His Family Thought He’d Lost His Mind
The Gospel of Mark pulls no punches. In Mark 3:21, we’re told that Jesus’ own family said:
“He is out of his mind.”
Yes, his own bloodline. Not strangers. Not critics. His family. Pause there…
Imagine. Imagine the weight of that.
You’ve awoken to a Divine Knowing, a consciousness that cracks open reality—and the people who know your voice best say:
“You’ve snapped.”
It wasn’t mockery from outsiders that came first; it was internal doubt.
His kin likely feared he’d gone mad with something akin to messianic delusion.
Or perhaps they were embarrassed by his sudden rise as a controversial street-preacher confronting the Government and Church…
He spoke vehemently against both Rome and the temple elite.
Religious Leaders:
“You’re Breaking the Law and Blaspheming“
The religious class didn’t just dislike Jesus—they actively plotted his removal.
The scribes and Pharisees viewed him as a heretic, accusing him of;
violating the Sabbath
flouting Mosaic Law
daring to forgive sins.
—a divine prerogative.
His miracles weren’t applauded; they were denounced as works of Beelzebub.
Let that settle: divine acts being interpreted as demonic.
… this was normal folk… the acceptable people… The community.
This wasn’t petty disagreement. This was existential threat-level panic from the religious hierarchy.
They saw in Jesus… not just a radical voice—but someone who dismantled their very grip on sacred authority.
Public Whispers: “He Has a Demon and Is Mad“
John 10:20 captures this damning public sentiment:
“He has a demon and is mad; why listen to him?”
These weren’t elite theologians.
These were everyday observers—
neighbors
townsfolk
bystanders.
Jesus’ words, while layered with profound gnosis (wisdom), sounded unhinged to the average ear.
And truthfully, wouldn’t they today? I mean… They do.
Imagine someone saying,
“Before Abraham was, I am.”
Or calling God their literal Father, claiming to bring not peace but a sword.
If spoken in today’s marketplace, they’d be dismissed as spiritually schizophrenic, or worse.
So what’s changed? Only the power structure that codified his words.
Outside the Bible: Even More Scathing Views
This doubt wasn’t exclusive to Jewish contemporaries.
Roman voices and philosophers took their shots, too.
Talmud
The Talmud contains cryptic but deeply derogatory references to Jesus—branding him a sorcerer who led Israel astray.
He is also said in the Talmud to be swimming in hot excrements.
These weren’t passive critiques.
They were sharp rejections by those who saw his influence as spiritually treacherous.
Roman Philosophers
Roman historian Tacitus referred to Christianity as a “pernicious superstition,” blaming the followers of Christ for corrupting public morals.
To Roman minds, Christ’s followers were:
irrational fanatics clinging to a crucified troublemaker.
Celsus
And then there’s Celsus, the ancient philosopher and intellectual, who reportedly called Jesus
“small, ugly, and undistinguished,”
claiming his father was a Roman soldier—a jab meant to invalidate his divine paternity and tarnish the virgin birth narrative.
Jesus wasn’t revered by the intellectual elite of his time.
He was;
mocked
dismissed
vilified.
Why This Matters
This isn’t about shock value or anti-Christian rhetoric. It’s about truth-telling.
When we sanitize the narrative of Jesus to make him palatable. We also:
rob Him of the radical edge that threatened anti Christ power
offended institutions
deny the painful fact that he alienated his own family.
His teachings were revolutionary because they disrupted—not because they fit neatly within pre-existing paradigms.
So when you feel like your awakening makes others uncomfortable when your truth sounds like madness to the masses take comfort. You’re in excellent company.
Because the real Jesus wasn’t crucified for being nice. He was crucified because he challenged the lies. And many thought he was insane for doing so. Truth rarely sounds sane to those who live comfortably in delusion.
“And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
Are we propelled by fate, driven by choice, or guided by a delicate dance between the two?
Each path offers its own mystique, summoning us to dissect the interplay of destiny, fate, and free-will in shaping our lives and reality as a whole.
The Emergence of Fate
Fate represents the unseen architecture of our lives—a cosmic design that envelopes every step we take.
It is the orchestrator of synchronicities and signs, suggesting that our experiences might be part of a grand laid out structure, initiated by a higher intelligence.
This invisible thread forms the backdrop of our existence, like a silent script written in the stars that sometimes we see how it dictates our journey.
The Empowerment of Choice
Contrasting fate is the power of choice—
our conscious ability to deliberate
decide
and act.
In every fleeting moment, we stand at a crossroads, armed with the power to transform potentiality into reality.
Our choices…
…whether deliberate
…or spontaneous.
Choice carves new pathway, through a predetermined framework, affirming our unique role as co-creators of our destinies.
The Synthesis
A Cosmic Dance
The truth, as I perceive it, lies not in the isolated domains of fate or choice, but in their connection, no matter how chaotic or volatile it appears.
FATE IS AN ALREADY SET STAGE
Fate sets the stage by placing us in a world of infinite complexities, yet within this arena, our choices illuminate the power of agency.
Within fate your decisions become the act in the play that redefine the script with each break in line, as sin aka duality, causes is to forget choosing this character… MORE ON THAT IN ANOTHER ARTICLE…
Fate merges the predetermined decision we made with the human self in all our duality.
Embracing The Interplay
Every decision— it can be a choice of…
love
defiance
surrender or
inquiry…
These decisions serve as compelling evidence of the capacity for transformation. The inherent power within us shapes the circumstances we encounter, establishing a structure of cause and effect that upholds duality and sin.
While the forces of fate may direct the overarching narrative, it is within our responses that true freedom is forged.
DESTINY + CONSCIOUS AWARENESS
The co-operation between destiny and conscious choice is…
where meaning is born
where chaos finds order
where wisdom is ultimately distilled.
We have a profound power to navigate the realms of existence.
We are neither bound by the currents of destiny nor are we lost in the illusion of unbridled freedom.
We are the artisans of our own lives, crafting purpose from the interplay of the inevitable and the intentional as they are One.
ASavior’s Decent into Matter Made Way For Our Spiritual Ascension.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11
Within our very hearts, Eternity resides—a thought inviting deep contemplation.
We inhabit this dense, material world that is shaping all inhabitants towards its ultimate pinnacle; death and decay. Although morbid, this is simply true.
Our soul knows this world’s objective for ALL matter is death… This makes sense why we, as conscious beings, are perpetually drawn to Spirituality.
In Search for the Eternal Life, innate to our Soul, beyond the body, a deep yearning echoes from the depth of our being.
Transmutation of Christ
In Christ
The transmutation that the I AM that is speaking is the process taught by Christ. The Spiritual Higher substance redeems and refines the material lower substance.
Watch:
Matter & Material = Lower Dimension
Understand Human Awareness
Human awareness is traditionally understood to reside within the confines of the material body (the skull).
Consciousness is nonlocal and manifests in this tangible body, encased in the most fragile frame.
Navigating Time and Space
Consciousness navigates a world governed by the dense laws of time and space.
Within this environment, we remain grounded in the body until our vessels’ eventual expiration, at which point we experience release from all this weight.
CONSCIOUS REFRAME
By framing our understanding of consciousness in this way, we acknowledge both the limitations imposed by our physical reality and the potential for a deeper exploration of what lies beyond these limits.
The Concept of Lower Dimensions
The material realm is a “lower dimension” due to its inherent characteristics. Density. Decay. Limited Movement. Etc.
Matter is ephemeral; it is temporary and fleeting. The physical world, bound by its limitations, faces its inevitable end—total decay.
This transience proves the constraints of our existence within this sphere, clearly a lower-dimensional experience.
So, does this mean that matter and materiality is the source of imperfection & sin?
Not inherently. Matter is neutral.
The Source of Sin
Rebellion & Division
The darker aspects of sin do not arise from matter, rather they affect matter.
These traits come from our flawed human interaction within the material frame.
Fragmentation of the Psyche
The eternal ‘we’ exists in our psyche, not in our body, having fragmented away from Source.
This disconnection is referred to as sin.
Understanding Fragmentation
This fragmentation represents a profound separation from our true essence, identity,& nature— resulting in a loss of unity and wholeness. Falling from Perfection.
TO PUT IT SIMPLY:
WE ARE OVERWHELMED SOULS THAT WENT BUZZURK.
REBELLED. SINNED. DEFIED.
We need to recognize that this disconnection manifests, indirectly leading to our feelings of emptiness and despair.
Fragmentation occurs from overwhelming emotions and negative experiences, further entrenching us in a cycle of pain and suffering.
By acknowledging this fragmentation, we will begin the process of healing the fragmentation and, remember who we are.
The only way to reconnect with our Source is through Conscious rememberence.
We’re Broken Vessels Sailing Back Home
All of humanity exists in a state of fragmentation, with differing degrees, of course, distanced from the rememberence of our place in the Tree of Life, cut off from the foundational Essence of our Origin.
This disconnection results in unrefined desires and unholy inclinations. Sin.
The primary objective is to preserve the remnants of our existence that still remain intact, parts of ourselves that can be re-integrated into Source.
Through trials and transformative experiences, like a purifying fire, our soul strives for alignment and reunification with Source through Consciousness—the All in All is seeking harmony with us – from within us, as the Higher Self, in accordance with the Divine principles of I AM. Every disaster is an attempt to wake us up.
This journey demands the dissolution of accumulated negativity and superficial attachments that hinder our resonance.
The demons of separation from the Source (I AM) has left us vulnerable to eternal ignorance; misguided by lower bodily desires, and the blind navigation of our minds’ perpetual state of amnesia.
Physical Matter = A Veil
The laws of Physics drape over our perception, obscuring the Ethereal realm’s boundless perfection from being apprehended by our Eyes and Psyche.
Why God Does This:
To protect us from searing our consciousness. PROTECTION FROM BEING ANNIAHLATED BY THE ALL-CONSUMING FIRE. This density has too much pressure.
ABOUT THE ALL CONSUMING FIRE
the metaphorical “all-consuming fire” symbolizes the purifying force of God’s divine energy. This fire represents both a transformation and a likely threat to those unprepared for its intensity. This can be likened to the everyday struggles people face in maintaining their mental and emotional well-being amid life’s chaos.
The Violet Consuming Flame serves as a protective mechanism, allowing one to transmute discord and imperfection into purity and light, as elaborated by the Ascended Masters in teachings such as those from the I AM School and the St. Germain Foundation.
By consciously invoking this flame, individuals can shield themselves from negative energies and unwanted attachments, akin to the protective measures discussed in contemporary spiritual practices aimed at maintaining a healthy aura and spiritual fortitude, as noted in articles on spiritual protection and aura shielding.
The journey towards spiritual purity requires both the acknowledgment of the consuming fire’s potential for annihilation and the active engagement in practices that foster resilience and enlightenment.
THE VEIL IS GOD’S GIFT OF PROTECTION UNTIL WE’RE READY
This veil is not a mere obstacle; NO!
It is a GIFT—a medium needed for our experience, realization, and final expansion needed to transcend it.
The Creator knows what we need before we do. Painful growth is a must when in such a heavy laden dimension, in order that we remain on the Narrow Way.
We’ll go from this heavy density to our first weightless home – back to a formless, eternal flow state of pure expansion. The pain level we now undergo cannot compare with the level of ecstasy we’ll carry in infinity.
The material world challenges our Soul, un-shapes us, and stages the platform to our Spiritual Ascension.
Our soul craves to experience leveling up. The human experience is how we do that.
Dopamine From The Heavens
What’s cool is we produce dopamine in our brain every time we feel like we’re about to level up, were perfectly designed to keep up with motivation.
The Flesh
A Firey Portal To The Divine Father
The flesh is a starting point from which we Ascend toward the Eternal Flame (ie; Heaven, Tree of Life, Eternal Light.).
Fire Burns. Embrace it. Yes it hurts.
Alchemical Transformation
The Redemption from Within
Salvation is an Alchemical action.
Salvation embodies the metamorphosis of the imperfect aspects of human existence (the corporeal) through the influence of the Perfect (Spirit).
Salvation refers to elevating the lower state of being to the higher One.
VISUALIZE THE ALCHEMY
Visualize the process of human made alchemy, where base metals like lead are refined into resplendent gold.
Everything Has A Parallel / Duality
—as above, so below.
—on earth as it is in heaven….
In the framework of Parallel Alignment, spiritual alchemy does not advocate for the rejection of the corporeal realm but emphasizes its ownership and integration in order to transmute. It’s a necessary step.
Recognize any possibilities over the lower aspects of our existence.
The Divine Alchemist is exemplified by Christ as He performs the transmutation of the lower forms, uncovering the intrinsic Divine that resides within All.
The kingdom of heaven is within.
– Jesus
Scripture illustrates this through symbolic narratives of descent and redemption.
Christ’s very incarnation. What was it?
God revealing his entering of flesh, embodying the perfect descent into the “imperfect” in order to redeem it.
Encoded is a profound truth:
Salvation is an inside-out process, where the spiritual infuses and uplifts the material.
This is not devolution but evolution—a purposeful refinement of existence. A Divine Masterpiece only fully known by Faith.
This transformation is practical
Through combining our energy production that we create with our body movement through prayer, reflection, and cognizant living, we remain more and more in alignment with the higher substance, the Essence of All, the God of the Heavens…
As Divinity peels back the veil, offering a glimpse into Eternity, and kindling hope, Faith increasingly proceeds from our hearts.
The interplay of matter + spirit reaches across spiritual traditions and religious cultures. In all of them, transformation is a recurring theme.
Salvation restores you to your original harmonious symmetry, as Christ exemplified in His death and resurrection.
—a material body -weak and sewn in darkness, ascending in righteousness, glorified by the Holy Spirit, within.
Insights from Other Spiritual Traditions
Hinduism: The material world is maya—an illusion veiling Brahman, the ultimate reality.
Matter is not evil but transient, a stepping stone to liberation. Through knowledge (jnana), devotion (bhakti), or disciplined action (karma), one transcends the veil to unite with the divine.
Buddhism: Matter manifests as samsara, a cycle of suffering fueled by attachment.
Yet, it is also the ground for awakening.
The path to nirvana—enlightenment—uses the material world as a teacher, guiding us beyond suffering through mindfulness and wisdom.
Taoism: Here, matter and spirit are not opposed but intertwined, flowing as yin and yang.
The material world reflects the Tao, the cosmic harmony.
Transformation means living in balance with this natural order, neither clinging to nor rejecting matter.
These traditions affirm that matter, while “lower,” is integral to the Spiritual journey of the Soul.
Whether as a veil to pierce, a cycle to escape, or a symmetry to assume. Or maybe all of the above, it is clearly necessary for the Soul to evolve.
The Role of Wisdom and Knowledge
Wisdom and knowledge are the Alchemist’s #1 tools, fundamental for transmuting the material into the Spiritual.
A desire is kindled for us to Know the One Who is All in All.
He pressed the desire in me to study, for meditation, and the deep-embedded desire we harbor to be intimate with Divinity in our daily routine.
Just as heat sanitizes physical surfaces, Wisdom refines the soul.
The heat when it comes- ALWAYS shifts our perception, forcing us to See the matter.
— in this we find it is not a limit.
We see it for what it is: a lens for the Eternal.
Through this Discernment we experience our own Salvation, co-creating with the Father (Source) in the Higher Realm, King above Kings, He that Is the Logos redeems us, by the Logos (the Word).
Common Objections
The Value of the Material World
Critics argue that;
labeling matter “lower” dismisses its intrinsic worth. If matter is merely a flawed shadow, why does the Divine engage it so deeply—through creation, incarnation, & natural beauty?
Traditions like animism celebrate matter as alive with spirit, while Christianity’s Incarnation sanctifies the physical.
This invites a perspective.
Matter is not a foe to be vanquished by humans but a tool in redemption.
Its limitations—decay, suffering—spur our growth, while its beauty reflects the Divine. A reflection is just that… a reflection.
Putting our form through the Alchemical process does not negate matter’s value; it fulfills it, thinning the veil until it into a window.
I did not come to abolish the law. I came to fulfill it. – Jesus
The material and spiritual are interwoven -so long as we are traveling in this vessel.
Salvation is a journey through matter, not away from it, not for it.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that Eternity dwells within the heart of humans, even amid the temporal.
Matter, though a veil, is also the crucible where the Spiritual transmutes the material.
GNOSIS IS THE KEY🔑
Wisdom and knowledge (aka Gnosis) unlock this process, navigated by divine insight.
Far from a simplistic dualism, this vision appreciates the material world’s role in revealing the Divine.
Ultimately, eternal life through salvation is the highest potential that our lower selves can achieve. We transform not to erase or reject our lower nature, but to embrace it for evolving with Divinity.
By doing so, we illuminate that which eternity has already written on our hearts.
Eating flesh was one of the most impure, unholy and unclean actions one could do. Absolute debased.
“So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.’”
The serpent’s role in the narrative of Adam and Eve reveals a deeper allegory about the nature of doubt and the internal origins of confusion.
Deceptive & Wise Tactics of The Serpent:
By asking implied questions rather than making direct statements, the serpent masterfully diverts Adam and Eve’s attention away from unity and truth.
This is the serpent crown of the ancient Gods. It shows that the two paths or parts of the spirit fire have been united.
This crown is the symbol of mastery and the union takes place within the student when the life forces are lifted to the brain. – Manly P. Hall
Remember: The serpent can’t place anything within a human, rather, he reveals what already is within our heart.
THE INVOCATION
This isn’t just about deception; it is about invoking a subtle second-guessing of our own experience. It exposed the vulnerability that lay dormant within the mind.
CONFUSION IS NOT FROM ABOVE
Confusion does not formulate from external stimuli, it develops when internal conflict causes confusion – there forms a dissonance between the reality and our passion, a division of faith and belief.
OUR DUALITY REVEALED
This division reflects the struggle in every human soul, where the Spirit of discernment competes with the spirit of chaos.
IS THE SERPENT GUILTY IN THIS STORY? NO!!!
The serpent reveals what already exists within, like an echo reverberating what is left of the soul beyond the shadows.
The serpent holds a mirror to the mind’s divided psyche.
Numbers 21:9 – “So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.”
THE SERPENT IS OUR HELPER
Rather than scapegoating the serpent, we should maybe acknowledge that confusion begins and ends with us.
THE SERPENT GIVES US THE AVENUE FOR ALIGNMENT
Within every mind lies the potential for both Disorder and Order.
Discernment, the antidote to confusion, requires some critical things:
intentional self-reflection
critical thinking
seeking divine guidance
Selected Scriptures
clarity over chaos
Genesis 3:1 highlights the serpent’s cunning manipulation through a question that plants doubt: “Did God actually say…?”
1 Corinthians 14:33 reminds us, “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.”
James 1:5 offers the path forward: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously.”
The serpent doesn’t symbolize a mere deceiver; he embodies the already existing forces of doubt and deception.
The serpent provokes us to question and reevaluated our own beliefs.
The choice Adam and Eve faced was simply a reflection of their internal struggle between trust and temptation, truth and uncertainty.
The Serpent shows us just how divided our psyche is.
In the realm of Duality this is inevitable.
So in my own revelation I’ve come to know the Serpent not as adversary but as a teacher that reveals my folly to me.
Will Confusion Persist?
Confusion will persist but can diminish to the extent that we are honest with ourselves at every level.
It will continue to grow until we develop the ability to recognize its source.
We know that we are thinking by faith when we trust our inner intuition without seeking external validation.
In Freemasonry, the Templar and in the Philosophic Degrees — such as the Knight of the Brazen Serpent, where the serpent is combined with the cross — it is evidently a symbol of Christ ; and thus the symbolism of these Degrees is closely connected with that of the Rose Croix.
33rd Degree Freemason and Master Rosicrucian, Manly P. Hall says this about the symbol of the serpent in his book, Initiates of the Flame;
Many ages have elapsed since the Egyptian Priest King passed through the pillars of Thebes. Ages before the sinking of Atlantis, thousands of years before the Christian Era, Egypt was a land of great truths. The hand of the Great White Brotherhood was held out to the Empire of the Nile, and the ancient pyramid passages resounded with the chants of the Initiates. It was then that the Pharaoh, now called half-human, half-divine, reigned in ancient Egypt. Pharaoh is the Egyptian word for king. Many of the later Pharaohs were degenerate and of little account. It is only the early Pharaohs we now list among the Priest Kings.
Try to picture for a moment the great Hall of Luxor —its inscriptive columns holding up domes of solid granite, each column carved with the histories of the gods. There at the upper end of the chamber sat the Pharaoh of the Nile in his robes of state; around him his counsellors, chief among them the priest of the temple. An imposing spectacle it was: the gigantic frame of the later Atlantean, robed in gold and priceless jewels; on his head the crown of the North and South, the double empire of the ancient; on his forehead the coiled serpent of the Initiate, the serpent which was raised in the wilderness that all who looked upon it might live; that sleeping serpent power in man, which coiled head downward around the tree of life, drove him from the garden of the Lord, but which raised upon the Cross, became the symbol of the Christ.
The Pharaoh was an Initiate of Scorpio, and the serpent is the transmuted Scorpio energy, which working upward in the regenerated individual is called the Kundalini. This serpent was the sign of Initiation. It meant that within him the serpent had been raised, for the true Pharaoh was a priest of God, as well as a master of men. There he sat upon the cube altar throne, indicating his mastery over the four elements of his physical body-a judge of the living and of the dead, who in spite of all his power and glory, having about him the grandeur of the world’s greatest empire, still bowed in humble supplication to the will of the gods. In his hands he carries the triple sceptre of the Nile, the Shepherd’s Crook, the Anubis-headed Staff and the Flail or Whip.

Sacred geometry is a field that not only explores the intricate patterns and shapes underlying creation, but defines it and holds within it the foundation of the origin.
From the simple elegance of the Vesica Piscis to the profound complexity of the Grid of Life, each symbol in this geometric art holds a wealth of meaning and nuance.
Let’s delve into these sacred geometric forms…
Vesica Piscis: The Intersection of Opposites
The Vesica Piscis, created by the intersection of two identical circles, represents the union of opposites.
Its proportions have influenced architectural masterpieces and are embedded in various artistic and organizational symbols throughout history.
The mandorla is often seen in religious art and architecture.
MandorlaMandorla in Christian Art
The Mandorla is derived directly from the Vesica Piscis, symbolizing the canal of life, the vagina opening where all humanity derives.
This is intersection of the earthly and celestial realms. Earthly body delivered with soul inside
Seed of Life: The Essence of Creation
At the heart of sacred geometry lies the Seed of Life, a design made up of seven intertwined circles.
Its universal appeal can be witnessed in its widespread use across various religions and cultures.
Each overlapping circle represents a cell, a cycle, or even a day, culminating in the interconnected nature of life’s processes.
The Seed of Life speaks to the fundamental structures of life and existence, imbuing objects with a sense of protection and blessing.
Egg of Life: The Spark of New Life
Emerging from the Seed of Life, the Egg of Life symbolizes rebirth, fertility, and the spark of new life.
Seed of life is vagina, Ovulation is the substamce perfecting the environment for masculine seeding, increasing pleasure increases bodily ease and diversion.
By adding six more circles to the foundational Seed, the Egg of Life demonstrates how life and patterns expand and evolve.
Within the three-dimensional realm, the Egg of Life can be visualized through the eight spheres nestled within Metatron’s Cube, showcasing the versatility and interconnectedness of sacred geometric symbols.
Flower of Life: The Cosmic Blueprint
The Flower of Life, often depicted as a series of 19 interlocking circles, is believed to be the cosmic blueprint, encoding the very design of every atomic structure and life form.
Its presence across civilizations, from ancient Egypt to modern Japan, bears testament to its universal appeal.
JAPANESE FLOWER OF LIFE
Sephiroth
Tree of Life: The Interconnectedness of All Things
The Tree of Life represents numerous systems across varying cultures and religions, providing a hierarchical structure for all the forces in the Universe.
Its 10 spheres, called the “Sephiroth,” represent different qualities of the Soul, divided into three pillars: the Pillar of Severity, the Pillar of Mildness, and the Pillar of Mercy.
The Tree of Life reminds us that we are not alone in the Universe but rather part of a vast interconnected network.
Fruit of Life: The Holy of Holies
Emerging from the heart of the Flower of Life, the Fruit of Life comprises 13 interconnected spheres, often referred to as the ‘Holy of Holies.’
The 13 spheres symbolize unity and a transition between realms or dimensions, while the 78 lines that emerge when linking the centers of these circles fashion Metatron’s Cube, enclosing all five Platonic solids.
The Fruit of Life’s spheres symbolize the feminine aspects of creation, providing a foundation for the 78 masculine rays of creation.
Metatron’s Cube: The Divine Blueprint
Metatron’s Cube, a geometric construct associated with the archangel Metatron, is a pivotal bridge, transforming 2-dimensional realities into 3-dimensional realms.
Within this complex geometric form, the five Platonic solids are discerned, positioning Metatron’s Cube as a testament to the divine blueprint upon which the cosmos is etched.
As quantum physics ventures deeper into understanding existence, it continually echoes the
Hermetic quote, “all is mind; the universe is mental,” with Metatron’s Cube in mind epitomizes the abstract, cognitive foundation of our universe.
Grid of Life: The Masculine Counterpart
The 64-tetrahedron, commonly termed as the ‘Grid of Life,’ is the masculine counterpart to the Flower of Life.
This geometric form, comprising 64 individual tetrahedrons, overlays the Flower of Life, symbolizing the convergence of space and time.
The allure of the Grid of Life transcends its geometric elegance, embedding itself in the mystique of the number 64, which recurrently surfaces in nature, mysticism, and human constructs, from genetic code to sacred texts.
The Grid of Life emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and underscores its significance in our understanding of the universe.
Scripture obviously doesn’t describe God in direct quantum terms, as these terms are contemporary.
Yet there are several Bible verses & theological concepts that do align with Spirit being Light and Energy.
God in Scripture
Light & Energy
1 John 1:5: “God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.” This verse directly describes God as light, emphasizing purity and the absence of darkness.
1 Timothy 6:16: “He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see.” This verse speaks to the transcendent nature of God’s light, which is beyond human comprehension.
John 8:12: “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” Jesus, as the manifestation of God, is described as the light of the world.
Genesis 1:3: “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” This verse illustrates the power of God’s word to create light, a fundamental element of the universe.
Sound & Light in Creation
The Bible also contains references to creation through God’s spoken word, which can be interpreted as sound and light:
Genesis 1:3: “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
The act of speaking light into existence suggests a connection between sound and light in creation.
John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The term “Word” (Logos) implies the creative power of God’s speech.
Revelation 4:5: “From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder.”
This imagery combines light and sound to depict the divine presence.
God’s Breath & Human Life
Genesis 2:7: “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”
Job 33:4: “The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
Psalm 104:29: “When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.”
Quantum Theories
in Relation to Scripture
Quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, has profound implications that can intersect with theological concepts.
While quantum theories are primarily scientific, they offer intriguing parallels and insights that can enrich our understanding of certain scriptural themes.
Key Concepts in Quantum Mechanics
Wave-Particle Duality: Particles such as electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. This dual nature challenges our classical understanding of physics.
Quantum Entanglement: When particles become entangled, the state of one particle instantaneously influences the state of another, regardless of distance. This phenomenon suggests a deep interconnectedness within the universe.
Uncertainty Principle: Proposed by Werner Heisenberg, this principle states that certain pairs of properties, like position and momentum, cannot both be measured precisely at the same time.
Superposition: Particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed or measured, at which point they collapse into one state.
God’s Omnipresence & Omniscience
Quantum entanglement, which allows particles to influence each other instantaneously over vast distances, can be seen as a metaphor for God’s omnipresence and omniscience.
The Bible speaks of God being everywhere and knowing all things:
Psalm 139:7-10: “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.”
Quantum entanglement illustrates a form of connection that transcends physical space, much like the theological concept of God’s omnipresence.
Creation & the Nature of Reality
The concept of wave-particle duality and superposition aligns with the idea that reality is not always as it appears.
This can be related to the biblical creation narrative, where God’s word brings forth existence from nothing:
Genesis 1:3: “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
This act of creation by divine command suggests a reality that is fundamentally responsive to God’s will, much like how quantum particles exist in a state of potential until observed.
The Multidimensional Universe
Quantum physics suggests the possibility of multiple dimensions and parallel universes, which can be seen as aligning with biblical descriptions of spiritual realms:
Ephesians 6:12: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
The existence of unseen dimensions and realms in quantum theory parallels the biblical concept of a spiritual dimension that interacts with our physical world.
Theological Implications
1. Compatibility with Faith
Quantum mechanics does not contradict the existence of God; rather, it can be seen as revealing the complexity and wonder of God’s creation.
Many early pioneers of quantum physics, such as John Polkinghorne, were theists who saw their discoveries as illuminating God’s methods rather than eliminating His presence.
2. Free Will and Predestination
Quantum indeterminacy, where outcomes are probabilistic rather than deterministic, can offer a framework for understanding the coexistence of free will and divine sovereignty.
The Bible speaks of God’s foreknowledge and predestination, yet also affirms human responsibility and choice:
Romans 8:29-30: “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”
Deuteronomy 30:19: “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”
Quantum theory’s probabilistic nature can be seen as a metaphor for the balance between God’s sovereign plan and human free will.
Quantum mechanics, with its counterintuitive and profound insights into the nature of reality, offers fascinating parallels to scriptural themes.
While it remains a scientific discipline, its concepts can enrich theological discussions about God’s nature, the creation of the universe, and the interplay between divine sovereignty and human free will.
Far from being incompatible, quantum theories can provide a deeper appreciation of the mysteries and wonders described in the Bible
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
–Ephesians 6:12
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”
–2 Corinthians 10:3-5
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world”
-1 Peter 5:8-9
Spiritual Warfare is experienced as:
… the tensions, the conflicts, the ethical options, and the worldview choices which Believers must face
… the spiritual conflict between those who are saved and preserved by God, the heavenly (and demonic) kingdoms are where our battle is fought
… the fight for truth.
WAGE WAR & Remain Standing…
The enemy will attack back!!!
Top 2 Instigators for stirring the fuses of Darkness:
Keep God’s commandments
Hold Tight The Testimony of Jesus
(‘fight for truth’).
TO STAND IN THIS FIGHT – YOU MUST:
Use the ARMOUR from God &
learn how to use the Weapons He assigned.
Spiritual Warfare can be Frightening, confusing and overwhelming.
WHAT TO DO?
#1 Don’t ignore what’s happening .
Don’t second guess God. This is real, and it’s happening.
As C. S. Lewis stated:
“There is no neutral ground in the universe; every square inch, every split second is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan.”
#2 Don’t Give in to Fear
& Don’t Avoid Fear
Nothing the Bible tells you about the Spirit is intended to make you scared, especially afraid of the dark realm. FEAR ONLY GOD.
Be sober-minded with vigilance, awareness, and tact. Wisdom dispels fear. Trust God, Really Trust God.
#3 Pray, a lot!
Pray …without ceasing…” -1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray… on all occasions…” -Ephesians 6:18
#4 Don’t dwell on evil
“Whatever things are good…pure…of good report…think on these things.” Philippians 4:8
#5 Obsessively Study the Bible.
Jesus quoted Scripture in context when tempted by Satan. Scripture was used out of context by Satan but Jesus knows the Father so, the Word is Known intimately. Resource: Matthew 4.
# 6 Seek God, Not Demons
Don’t Ask or Lust after The unseen realm anymore Than God Has allowed for you to see.
People think it would be neat to see a deliverance because they want to see the demonic manifest.
That’s a terrible reason, and reveals the condition of the heart… Wretched.
Being fascinated by evil is to Love evil. What your heart longs toward is the focal point of your worship.
#7 Keep the commandments of God
Trust His testimony.Here are the COMMANDMENTS :
1. Love God With All of your being
2. Love your fellow man, as Christ loved you… Including those who hate you.
“Take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the deceit of the devil… take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
Ephesians 6:11-19
#8 Fasten The belt of Truth
biblical accuracy; certainty, sincerity
#9 Check the fit in the breastplate of righteousness
Moral uprightness, justice
#10 Keep Sandals buckled
the gospel of peace, bringing harmony; wholeness and understanding into all places
# 11 Practice Defensive Shielding
With the shield of faith – Faith of Jesus
With Faith as your Shield you are able to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy
trust; loyalty; reliance
#12 Check the position of your helmet
… The helmet of salvation gaurds your Mind… deliverance; preservation
#13 Learn to spar with the sword
… Of the Spirit. This is the word of God.
# 14 Pray in the Spirit … Always….
Godly prayer isn’t a moment you take for God… God lives in you, scheduling Him into your schedule is not something you would find acceptable with His Spirit in you …
Tip:
Direct your thoughts and mind on God more than you think thoughts to yourself in your mind….
… “with all kinds of prayers…”
MAN MADE RITUALIS & DOGMATIC COMPLIANCE BREEDS PRIDE.
OUTWARD DISPLAYS OF PIETY BREED LUKE WARMNESS AND HARD HEARTS…
IF YOU ARE ACTING IN ORDER TO BE SEEN AS “HOLY”, YOUR ACTIONS ARE NOT WORTH ANYTHING IN GOD’S DOMAIN…
For strength and hope:
“For we do continually beseech God by Jesus Christ to preserve us from the demons which are hostile to the worship of God, and whom we of old time served… For we call Him Helper and Redeemer, the power of whose name even the demons do fear…”
God even told the people in Deuteronomy where “Eyes to See” and “Ears to Hear” come from…” It is from God⤵️
Deuteronomy 29:4:
“… to this day the LORD has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear.”
Paul clearly tells us there is a remnant that is chosen by Grace, not works of man.
Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking so the ELECT obtained it & the rest were HARDENED…
Then he quotes the Torah for understanding saying:
God gave them (those who are not elect) eyes that will not see and ears that can’t hear) ⤵️
“So at present there is a remnant, chosen by grace. But if it is by grace, it is no longer based on works; otherwise, grace would no longer be grace. What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.”
– Romans 11:5-8
The Lord gives David an open ear:
In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
Psalm 40:6
Having Ears to Hear is quite literally having an opened heart to pay attention to God’s TRUTHS, as God did TO LYDIA …
One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.
Acts 16:14
God Hides These Things
Jesus clearly says, if we read the entire passage that God hides “these things” from the wise & Jesus says that God is the one who has revealed them.
& He says the Son, Jesus chooses who will KNOW the Father & Son… having understanding and relationship with God is what having ears to hear and eyes to see is. ⤵️
✝️ “In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them as to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” Then turning to the disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
Luke 10:21-24
GOD makes us alive…⤵️
✝️ We were dead in the trespasses and by nature are children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. When we were dead in our trespasses God MADE US ALIVE together with Christ.
Ephesians 2:1, 3 5
The ‘essence’/ substance of having eyes to See and Ears to Hear:⤵️
✝️ The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED.
1 Corinthians 2:14
Who appoints belief?
God… One can’t BELIEVE without Eyes to See & Ears to HEAR.⤵️
✝️ “And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were APPOINTED to eternal life believed.”
The Lord opened Isaiah’s Ear, GOD awakened his ear to learn…
✝️ The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward.– Isaiah 50:4-5
In Isaiah God says to the rebellious that they never heard because their ear had not been opened because GOD knew they would deal treacherously…
EVEN BEFORE THEY WERE BORN THEY WERE CALLED “REBEL“:⤵️
✝️ You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and that from before birth you were called a rebel.-Isaiah 48:8
WE can’t understand God without the Spirit of God, ears to hear & eyes to see comes from God’s Spirit..⤵️
✝️ “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. –1 Corinthians 2:14, 16
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:7
If we must have the Spirit of God to understand God as 1 Corinthians 2 says then how can WE HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS apart from Spirit…. we can’t.
Having ears to hear and eyes to see is NOT PHYSICAL and does NOT COME FROM YOURSELF.
In the depths of my soul, I grapple with the inherent contradictions of this world.
Society has shaped me into a unique being, molded by its influences and expectations.
And yet, beneath the surface lies a newfound understanding, a spiritual awakening that compels me to express my thoughts, unfiltered and unapologetic.
Navigating Nuance
As a believer in Christ, I fearlessly navigate the depths of my nuanced frame of mind.
I am both a product of society and a recipient of God’s grace.
This synthesis of my identity distinguishes me as a believer in the midst of a complex world.
“The prudent [person] gives thought to their steps.”
Proverbs 14:8
America’s Role In My Identity
Oh America, you have played a role in shaping the very essence of who I am.
Your vast tapestry of cultures, perspectives, and ideologies have shaped and molded me in profound ways.
The values and ideals that permeate your society have left an indelible stain on my character.
But now, on this journey of Faith, something extraordinary has happened.
As I wholeheartedly embrace the teachings of Christ by His Spirit, my soul longs to break free from the shackles of conformity and boldly vocalize the depths of my beliefs.
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”
Isaiah 61:1
I yearn to speak my truth, regardless of society’s resistance.
You may have created me, that is my exterior, America, shaping me with your norms and expectations.
Yet, through Faith in Christ, I have come to realize that your systems are imperfect, and your desires for conformity are not aligned with the higher purpose laid before me.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
– Romans 12:2
Through the redeeming power of Christ’s love, my perspective has shifted.
I no longer passively accept the status quo, but rather embark on a mission to challenge societal norms, inviting open and honest dialogue.
It is in this space, in this unique frame of mind, where I find the courage to proclaim what’s on my heart, despite the resistance that may arise.
Oh America, do not fear my voice, for it is not one intended to sow discord or disdain.
Instead, it is a voice founded in love, compassion, and a deep belief in Christ’s teachings.
It is a voice that yearns for unity amidst the diversities that encompass your vast nation.
I am your child, America, transformed by the love and grace of Christ.
And now, I am determined to speak Truth, for you and for all who seek the Light of Truth and Redemption.
May my words serve as a catalyst for change, inspiring hearts to embrace the transformative power of Faith and the limitless possibilities it brings forth.
Today, I am on a journey of purpose, one where the innate beauty of our diverse souls intertwining, illuminating a path towards a more compassionate and loving existence.
