Unite or Die

It was Patrick Henry who said
that America was founded,
not on religion
but on "the gospel of Christ."

What is this gospel 
to which Henry refers?
Whose version 
of what the Bible says
about those who walked with Yashua 
wrote about what Yashua taught,
should we have faith in,
believe in, trust on,
stand on and hope
is His gospel?
Which version was America founded on?

Institutionalized Christianity,
also known as
"Christendom"
would have us believe
that the gospel
is about discovering 
that everyone is a sinner 
by default
and therefore 
going to hell
by default,
 and in order to escape hell
and qualify for heaven,
we need rely on
a personal savior, Jesus,
who saves us from our sin,
by accepting him 
"into our heart
as our personal savior,"
after which we trust that
he will pluck us out of here
just in time,
 sometime in the future,
just before he returns 
to destroy his enemies
after which, but not before,
we will live happily ever after 
praising and worshipping God
on a damp cloud in Heaven.
Meanwhile,
the gospel is about
going to church
on Sunday, or Saturday,
and tithing;
About bulletins, 
Bible studies,
praise and worship teams,
mediocre novels, writings and music,
pot lucks, and missions,
and disagreeing with
and fearing,
other so-called 
Christian denominations
and other religious cult
as being
Luciferian,
Satanic, or of the devil.

The house of Christianity is divided.
Is it therefore any wonder
that America is a divided nation?
A nation cannot be united
when it is divided
spiritually.

Unless a significant number
of the American People
find the way, 
the truth
to indivisibly unite
as one nation
on the principles
of the kingdom of Heaven,
and abandon the vain
traditions, commandments
mythologies and dogmas
of her many versions 
of the Gospel
and her perceptions of God,
the American people 
will remain divided
will turn on each other
and conquer themselves while
their enemies
laugh from afar 
at their foolishness.

Can the World be Saved?

What is
“the world”? 
To answer this question,
I would begin by distinguishing
the world, 
from the Earth.

What is the Earth?
I would not ask:
“what is the Venus?”
or “what is the Mars?”
Why then do I ask,
What is the Earth?
Should I not rather ask,
What is Earth?
and from this context ask,
What is the world
as distinguished
from Earth?

The word, “world”
is translated from the Greek
“kosmos”
meaning
an ordered, harmonious whole,
as distinct from chaos.

Why did the translators
coin the word
“world”
To convey the idea of kosmos?

“For God so loved the world . . .”
John 3.16
could have been translated:
"For God so loved 
an ordered, harmonious whole,
as distinct from chaos . . ."

So the question is not
can the world be saved,
but rather,
Can order be saved?
This question does not work
because order
either is, 
(in order)
or is not.
(out of order)
Unless of course
you are talking about a
“Pecking order”
which is a hierarchy,
but not "order" in the sense of "kosmos."

Therefore,
rather than asking whether
the world can be saved,
Why not ask whether
order can be restored?
Now that's a valid question.

"For God so loved order
that he sent his only begotten Son
that whosover
believes in him
should not perish
but have everlasting life."
John 3.16

A Nation Divided

If a nation divided against itself
is brought to desolation,
and no city or house 
divided against itself
shall stand . . .

Are we not naive to believe
that America is exempt
from failure?
That her religious, 
political 
and economic 
institutions
are immune from collapse?
That her politicians and bankers
truly have her best interest in mind? 

In vanity is allegiance pledged
to the republic,
to one nation under God,
indivisible . . .
as actions betray
the catatonic state of those
who make this vow,
who remain
caught up in themselves,
cut off from each other,
separated by the factions 
to which they subscribe
which define and empower them 
as persons. 

Divided by our dysfunctional families,
by our religions,
our politics,
and storys,
within denominations,
and political parties,
America is crippled 
by the insecurity 
of defensive selfishness,
by one-up-man-ship,
by the need to be right,
or not be wrong,
by the need to look good,
or not look bad,
by mythology 
masquerading as truth,
and by the corresponding alignment 
with competing factions;
worlds within worlds,
sharing nothing but
a common purse
to finance our incessant delusions,
and enable our mental sloth;
and a common sword,
to sustain legal plunder,
among each other;
and oppose common enemies, 
the foremost of which are
fear 
and its companions
pride and denial.



 If pride truly goes 
before destruction, 
and an haughty spirit 
before a fall, 
Proverbs 16.18
it is axiomatic that
to prevent America's demise


Humility 

is the first most important means
to the desired end.
2 Chronicles 7.14 

Anything short of this
is vanity,
a chasing after the wind. 
Ecclesiastes 2:11

Possibility

The possibilities are endless,
even limitless,
if nothing is impossible 
 for those who believe,
Matthew 17.20

If believing is all it takes
to make something possible
that is otherwise considered 
to be impossible,
then what is possible
is only as possible
as I believe it is.

The degree to which
I believe something is possible
Is the degree I am able to accomplish
the impossible.

The only limit
as to what is possible,
is the limit I impose on my belief
that it is possible.
This limit is called "doubt."
"For verily I say unto you, 
that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 
'be thou removed, 
and be thou cast into the sea'
and shall not doubt in his heart, 
but shall believe that those things which he saith 
shall come to pass; 
he shall have whatsoever he saith." 
Mark 11:23 

You mean it is actually possible to. . . .?
Is it really possible that . . . . ?

Yes,
Absolutely!
This is the gospel truth!
No boundaries,
No limitations.
Liberty!
Its been provided
and demonstrated.
We need only make it so.

Believe it,
Because . . .
Miracles happen!

Kings and Priests

Where are you my brothers and sisters,
O Kings and Priests of Israel,
Heirs of Heaven 
and Earth? 
 How much longer 
will you continue in your mediocrity,
will you bask in simplicity,
before you come into the fullness of who you are?
Revelations 1.6
Revelations 5.10
1 Peter 2.9

It is not written that:
the things our brother Yashua did,
We shall do also,
and even greater things shall we do?
John 14.12


Is it not written that:
nothing 
is impossible for us!
Matthew 17.20
Luke 1.37

That whatever we ask
In his name,
He will do it for us!
John 14.13

Do we really believe this? 
Did we ever really know?
 Or have we forgotten?

Remember the thoughts of your youth,
When anything was possible!
Do we now take this great and precious promise 
for granted?
Do we think of it as fantasy?
As mere religious mythology?

Remember Peter?
a simple man just like us.
A fisherman by trade,
who walked on water
just like the Messiah;
except the Messiah was proficient at it. 
Matthew 14.26

Do we not get 
that Peter healed many people
from severe infirmities,
without inoculations,
without aspirin. 

Do we not get
that Peter raised the woman Tabatha
from the dead?
She was gone.
He brought her back. 
Acts 9.40

Yashua raised Lazarus 
from the Dead,
and in so doing, convinced Peter 
it not only could be done, 
but that he could also do it.
Do we not know that we can too?


Peter become powerful
because he stood against the existing order
by standing for the new order.
So powerful did he become
that he was jailed for sedition and insurrection.
He was arrested, imprisoned, bound, chained, 
and confined between two guards.
Just a few weeks prior
several of the other apostles were
arrested and jailed, 
only to escape and continue 
their sedition. 
Peter was loosed from his chains,
and led out of jail by "an angel."
Peter escaped from jail.
Acts 12.5-9


Do we acknowledge 
the possibility of these things?
Or just give them lip service in passing.

It is not written that
We have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2.16

Do we accept this?

We have been given 
access to the Power
of the Creator of the Universe, 
who is our Father!
We have been given 
His delegation,
granted his power,
to take dominion of Earth,
as Political Ambassadors
in the name of the King of Kings
as his Kings and Priests,
the Sons of the King
of the Universe.

John 1.2
Revelations 1.6;
Revelations 5.10

It is written
that we have all power
over the enemy
Luke 10.19


What are we waiting for?

In My Head

There is a voice inside my head,
a jaded voice who is not me,
the cynical voice of my being,
my person,
who is always projecting,
always assessing and judging,
always adding meaning,
embellishing facts with stories
telling me what
I think I want to hear,
rather than distinguishing
what is being said.

I watch me filter what I hear
through the ears of this voice
who narrates through what I project.
How convenient
that I can make anyone say
whatever I want them to say.
I can make anything mean
whatever I want it to mean,
so long as I remain
inside my head,
having the conversation inside my mind,
within my imagination,
the safe confines of my own thoughts,
where no one else is included;
where I dictate all the parameters.
and control all sides;
projecting my own thoughts and words
that always affirm me.
Here is where I make up my own meaning
attach it to what is heard or read,
where I receive the constant validation
I fear I might otherwise lack,
Of the truth I project myself to be.

If I engage
in any conversation or study,
already knowing;
with the preconceived notion
that I can’t know any more;
I am done learning.
I cannot take anything new in,
and I am deluded.
Do I read and hear
from a perspective of vindication?
Of one-up-man-ship?
From the need to be right?
From the need to look good?
From the need to conform?
From the need to be disagreeable
From the need to be loved,
Appreciated,
Accepted?

Do I hear,
To learn and grow,
Or to defend
What I already know?

There's a conversation inside my head.
Am I listening to what is said?
Do I add meaning to what is read?
Or do I protect my person instead?

The Realm of Spirit

That the realm of Spirit
the Creator,
is in us,
runs all through us
all around us
all the time;
That we cannot
escape the soup,
the space,
the ether,
the energy,
this life,
this source,
Spirit,
is amazing to me.
There is no where I can go,
where Spirit
is not.
I am therefore,
never alone,

never without access
to the Word,
the primordial source
of all that is.

Here we all are.
Sharing the same space,
existing within the same Spirit,
Together and yet we are separate,
Separate and yet together.
Alone in the midst of a crowd,
Crowded in the midst of being alone.
How desperately do I want
to hear truth spoken?
The Truth that we are One.
Desperate enough to speak it myself?
What would I say?
What would be different?
What gives the truth as I understand it
Anymore credence than truth
spoken by anyone else?

Truth is more than words can express,
but it is not about words.
It is more than ideas can comprehend,
but it is not about ideas.
Truth simply is.

How, then, is truth expressed?
Simply,
by expressing
Genuinely,
Authentically.
Who I am
Always and everywhere,
all the time.
This is a beginning.

Consent

Were we not so deluded
with our own self-importance,
our own common sense 
would tell us 
that every government
of the world
is merely an artificial contrivance,
an abstraction of the mind,
a creature of the will of man,
existing by consent
and sustained,
and embodied
by pledges and dedications 
of allegiance.

The imaginary governmental world,
having neither 
actuality
nor substance,
is unable to manifest itself,
is unable to elevate itself, 
above the imaginary creature it is, 
and thereby
attain parity
with the tangible, 
except through those who embody it,
who embolden it, to do its collective will,
the adversarial, 
predatory will 
of the collective unconsciousness.
The legal manifestation of this
is that
no government,
or any agency,
aspect,
or court, thereof,
can concern itself
with anything but
contracts and agreements between
artificial persons.
Although I may have projected 
a fictional person 
to the world,
to represent me
in the world,
I remain
tangible and real,
and am
able to distinguish
between the two.

Governments of the world
control and regulate fictional beings,
the persons of the world.
They have no means of controlling
the real and substantive
except by and through 
financial manipulation,
and the threat, duress, and coercion
of guns and jails.

Although I am not of the world,
the projection of me 
in the world
is my misrepresentation 
to the world
of who I am.
Commensurate to my belief
that I and my misrepresentation 
to the world 
are one,
that I am 
my projection,
that I am 
that person,
is the degree I am lost 
in my own fictional world,
and thereby in bondage
to the world's systems and institutions
of religion, government and economics,
and it is to that degree that
the world's collective labyrinth
enslaves me.

"And I heard another voice from heaven, 
saying, 
'Come out of her, 
my people, 
that ye be not partakers 
of her sins, 
and that ye receive not 
of her plagues. 
For her sins 
have reached unto heaven, 
and God hath remembered 
her iniquities.'"
Revelations 18.4


The Sin of the World

The delusion within which 
most people exist,
because their fearful agreement 
with all its perceived veracity,
is also the hook,
the understanding and use of which
is the primary means
of the manipulation of the masses,
by institutions 
whose will is carried out through
persons known as
doctors, pastors, preachers, 
attorneys, politicians, teachers,
and all sorts of bureaucrats,
who sustain
and maintain control over
the artificial world
of our collective, 
interactive minds.

This collective
unconsciousness,
the collective
delusional
will of man,
is 
the "sin of the world."


This mechanism of unconsciousness,
this system  
we, as persons,
take for granted
as reality,
  is what the Messiah 
took upon himself 
when he was murdered 
at Calvary.

The Real World

If I forget,
if I am unaware
or oblivious,
that the person I am being
in the world,
is merely a projection
behind which I am hiding,
that my person is 
a creature of my own imagination,
an artifice
I animate and empower
by embodying,
by giving it my consent,
to represent me in the world,
I become lost in a fictional labyrinth
of my own doing,
a creation validated, 
justified and sustained
by the mutual intercourse
I am having
with all other persons,
who are also
merely the creatures,
projections,
and vain imaginings,
of all the people, 
comprising 
what is commonly and generally
accepted as
normal,
"the real world."
