Enemy Within

May we not allow 

the enemy to define us,

to feed at the trough

of our own fear,

the divisions

that have already conquered us.

May we instead define ourselves,

by uniting ourselves

by the only means necessary:

Love.

The enemy is at our gate

anticipating our collapse;

but they are mere vultures.

They wait and circle patiently,

anticipating that our destruction is near.

The enemy within our gate

the one we fail to recognize,

is well within our own ranks,

even within our own being.

The enemy within

empowers those without,

those at the gate.

Conquer the enemy within,

and those at the gate will dissipate,

as there will be nothing left

to anticipate.

So long as we are divided,

So long as there is

jealousy, envy, strife

and quarreling

among us,

we are conquered already,

and those at our borders

will wait

to finish the work of desolation

that has already conquered us.

Illumination

The "gospel of Christ"

is the knowledge of illumination.

"I was blind but now I see."

It is Light

in the darkness;

Love

in a labyrinth of fear;

Spirit

rather than persons;

Truth

distinguished from lies;

Life

in a sea of death.

An anointed one

is an illumined one;
an enlightened one;
One who walks in Spirit
and in truth.

The languages of the world

have caused this knowledge

to become twisted,

even perverted.

The religious institutions 
of the world,

suppress this principle,
even work against it.

Instead of working

to bring forth this understanding
to facilitate it
by embodying it,
by mainfesting it,

to lead the people to this truth,

the prophets instead prophesy falsely,

the teachers teach in vain,

priests and ministers alike

perpetuate the philosophy 

of fear, death and bondage

as the means to life and freedom,

by burdening the people

through the yoke of bondage:

dogmas and doctrines,

intellectualism

and belief systems;

rituals,

traditions,

and commandments;

institutions,

means

and mechanisms;

death based structures,

and organizations;

all of which serve to control,

all of which dance

around the simple truth
that:

 God is love; 
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, 
and God in him . . .
 . . . because as he is, 
so are we in this world.
1John 4.16-17 

Belief Systems

Contrary to popular belief,

knowing the Creator

is not an intellectual,

doctrinal,

belief system.

We each have direct access 
to the Creator,
to the kingdom of the Creator,
which is,
simple reality,

more easily than we have access

to our earthly

father, mother, brother, sister,

or friend.

There is nowhere anyone can go,
to be outside of the
Spirit who is the Creator,
as that Spirit
permeates
everything that is.

Notwithstanding this simple knowledge

this easy access,

religions of the world
inhibit this access;

work to limit this knowing,
even against this knowledge,

by requiring instead

specific beliefs,
and belief systems,
institutional beliefs
and control systems

about what is,
about the Creator,
about reality,

to be held as true;

while requiring other beliefs

to be rejected--

and by this means
a person is
validated,

even considered acceptable,
or worthy

to gain access into
eternity,
the kingdom of Heaven;
the reality 
that always is
merely the acceptance thereof away.

Among these beliefs are

that I must:

accept Jesus

into my heart

as personal savior;

His mother Mary as a virgin;

the Bible as the Word,

inerrant and infallible;

the Creator as a trinity;

Submission to Christian clergy

as God’s appointed ministers,

submission to the government

as God's authority on Earth;
and the choice of
a linear eternity

in Heaven or Hell

after death.

The kingdom of Heaven

is not a religious,
mythological,
belief system;
nor is it accessible
after death.

The kingdom of Heaven
is life . . .

and merely is.

 "For he is not a God 
of the dead,
but of the living:
 for all live unto him."
Luke 20:38

Fear Based Religion

The Catholic Church,

my holy mother,

really did a number on my head.

Although I was raised

with strict morals

and boundaries,

I was held to those restraints,
to those conditions,

by fear,

and by fear alone.

Fear of Hell.

Eternal torment.

Everlasting misery.

A crispy critter,

would I be,

for deviating from the path;

not from the moral boundaries

mind you,

but from Holy Mother church.

You see,

all I had to do

relative to a sin of

moral tirputude,

or to be released from

any other sin,

was go to confession,

confess the sin to a priest,

recite the assigned penance,

and my marred slate was wiped clean.

The bottom line is

the Catholic Religion,

no matter the angle you look at it,

is a fear based,

mind control, institution.

I knew not love

from my experience with

the Catholic faith,

Only fear.

It took me years to overcome

my fear of exploring beyond

the boundaries of the religion,

for fear

of going to hell;

afraid that I might learn something

I wasn’t supposed to know!

Even now I see it—

the fear

remnant, dormant,

in the back of my mind.

It says to me, even know!

What if I am wrong?!

Because I purposefully

wandered from

the Catholic faith,

every deliberate step I took

there was fear again,

always my companion,

always confronting me,

always in my way,

rearing its ugly head.

In my youth,

I determined not only to

confront this wicked fear

but to overcome it,

to defeat it.

and so I continued to wander

farther and farther away.

And so here I am today,

Still searching

For the truth that eludes me,

because of the fear that

enslaves me.

I find that my love for truth

is a far more powerful

motivator

than is my fear of hell.

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:

only he who now letteth will let,

until he taken out of the way.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed,

whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth,

and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:  

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan

with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness

in them that perish;

because they received not the love of the truth,

that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,

that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth,

but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

 2 Thessalonians 2.7-12 

Awakening from Delusion

Walking down the sidewalk

in my little town today,

I spotted a coward

who looked the other way.

He had hired me once

to do him a job;

asked for my slave number

so my wages he could rob;

But not for himself you see,

or so he believes,

it is for his task master he would say;

but with kinder gentler words

in a politically correct way,

refusing to acknowledge

his collusion with the man

to extort my performance

under the tyranny of the land.

I refused his request,

he hasn’t hired me since,

now the word’s around town

about my radical non-sense;

about my refusal to cooperate

with America’s demise,

by paying homage

to an administration in disguise,

a de facto monarch

who rules the unwise.

Fear rules the day

while the cities and the streets,

are cluttered with the fallout

of a government in breach

of its agreement with the people

to serve and protect

the People of God

who perpetually reject

the kingdom their fathers

did so carefully erect;

and so now we live

unable to correct

the demise of America

because of our stiff necks;

which is really but a reflection

of a people in chains

because of our rebellion

to the truth it seems

we prefer perception

delusion and dreams;

but one day we will awaken

after much suffering and pain,

from our stupor filled sleep

wherein we choose to remain,

and come finally to the knowledge

that is ours to keep,

that we are the children of God

the Creator of all

our Father our protector

who started it all,

who guides us to the light

when we finally forsake all,

to find him who will restore

but only after we fall,

after we finally turn

to find the way the truth and the light,

in a way that I continuously hope we just might,

so we may come out of this dark night.

Spirit Transfusion

It is written that:

"The life of the flesh

is in the blood.”

Leviticus 17.11

What is the life of the Spirit in?

Is there a parallel to blood

relative to Spirit?

Or do you think you are your body?

You are not your body!

You have a body.

Neither are you

your mind;

you have a mind-
a soul.

You occupy your soul
and thereby animate your body,

so long as there is blood

coursing through its veins.

Neither are you your ego,
your person,

though you have one
created by your mind!

We are familiar

with blood transfusion.

Is there an analogous transfusion

relative to Spirit?
Relative to mind?
Is the renewing of the mind 
a thought transfusion? 
Romans 12.2

Do I think?

Or does my mind think? 
Am I the thinker?

My mind is a possession of mine.

It is the faculty

through which I

control my body.

If I

“lose my mind”

Am I not considered to have

“lost control.”

What does it mean to be

“out of my mind?

If I recognize that

I 

am spirit,

is it not better to be in control

of my mind

By being "out" of my mind?

Unless of course my mind

is controlled from within.

This begs the question,

where am I?

If someone is considered

“insane”

by the standards of the world,

against what standard

is the insanity measured

if society

as a collective whole

is insane?

During the 3rd Reich,

anyone who did not go along

did not get along,

and were,

therefore,

considered 

worthy of death.

They must have been out of their mind,

They must have had a mind of their own!

Is not insanity therefore

always relative to the collective 

with power

to enforce the determination?

Lifeline

How difficult it is at times
to accurately convey

an idea

or a thought:

I say something,

you hear something else.

You say something,

I hear something else.
Gestalt happens!

Breakdown.

Reaction.

Frustration.

Despondency.

Why can you not hear

what I am saying?

Why can I not hear

what you are saying?

Our persons are in our way!
We are speaking
through our egos!
The need to be right

is pervasive.

The need to defend

the perceived

need for our person

to survive,

envelopes us.

“I refuse to look bad”

says my ego,

and I buy it,

ignorantly believing it is me.

And then,

No matter the cost,

I go into damage control,
engaging your ego,
rather than you,

so that I,

who am 
completely collapsed

into my ego,
emerged into my person,

can once again

emerge

victorious
in a futile battle
that in the end
serves only to
divide and conquer us.

What a vain world

I empower.

What insanity

I engage in.

What non-sense

I buy into as true.
Is this the metaphor of the
Tower of Babel?

Would someone

please throw me

a life line

and pull me out

of this

stinking morass?

Prisoner of the Mind. Prisoner of the Machine.

The collective,

the common pool of persons,

which is but

the common pool of

the disingenuous, inauthentic,

 mechanized projections

of, by and for the People,

also commonly known as

public opinion,

has a life,

a being,

a consciousness,

of its own;

A being established by those

who have relinquished

self-government,

personal

self-control,

in exchange for

the external control,

of the force

sanctioned by the collective,

and thereby the individuals

comprising it,

and have as such lost control
of their mind

to the idol

of public opinion

which would otherwise

have neither power nor control.

Either this kingdom of this world
is within you,
or
the kingdom of Heaven,
which is not of this world,
is within you. 


The choice is ours to make. 
Always has been,
Always will be.

Ye Are Gods!

 There are several 
very significant passages 
in the Bible,
an understanding of which 
is crucial in comprehending
who and what it is we are
and what it is 
we are supposed to be doing on Earth.

It is easy to say 
that we are children of God,
but the truth of the statement
is not so easy to 
grasp and comprehend.
Commensurate to our failure 
to truly "get" who we are,
is the degree of our failure
in carrying out our mission on Earth.


Know thyself.
Yahshua is the firstborn 
of many brothers.
Hebrews 2.10


“. . . ye believe not,

because ye are not of my sheep,

as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice,

and I know them,

and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life;

and they shall never perish,

neither shall any man

pluck them out of my hand.

My Father,

which gave them me,

is greater than all;

and no man is able to pluck them

out of my Father's hand.

I and my Father are one."

Then the Jews took up stones

again to stone him.

Jesus answered them,

"Many good works

have I shewed you from my Father;

for which of those works

do ye stone me?"

The Jews answered him,

saying,

"For a good work we stone thee not;

but for blasphemy;

and because that thou,

being a man,

makest thyself God."

Jesus answered them,

"Is it not written in your law, 

'I said, Ye are gods?'

If he called them gods,

unto whom the word of God came,

and the scripture cannot be broken;

Say ye of him,

whom the Father hath sanctified,

and sent into the world,

Thou blasphemest; because I said,

I am the Son of God?

If I do not the works of my Father,

believe me not.

But if I do,

though ye believe not me,

believe the works:

that ye may know, and believe,

that the Father is in me,

and I in him." 
John 10.26-38
They know not, 
neither will they understand; 
they walk on in darkness: 
all the foundations of the earth 
are out of course. 
I have said, Ye are gods; 
and all of you are children of the most High.   
Psalms 82:5-6 

True Believers

I find comfort knowing 

that I am not the only one
who has difficulty
believing! 

"And they,

when they had heard 

that he was alive,

and had been seen of her[Magdalene],

believed not.

After that he appeared in another form

unto two of them,

as they walked, and went into the country.

And they went and told it unto the residue:

neither believed they them.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven

as they sat at meat,

and upbraided them

with their unbelief and hardness of heart,

because they believed not them

which had seen him after he was risen.

And he said unto them,

'Go ye into all the world,

and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believes and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believes not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe;

In my name shall they cast out devils;

they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents;

and if they drink any deadly thing,

it shall not hurt them;

they shall lay hands on the sick,

and they shall recover.'

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them,

he was received up into heaven,

and sat on the right hand of God.

And they went forth,

and preached every where,

the Lord working with them,

and confirming the word 

with signs following."
Mark 16.11-20

If these signs shall follow 
them that believe,
how can I say I believe 
when these signs
don't follow me? 

Obviously 
"believe"
which means 
"to have faith"
means something 
far greater 
than the recitation
of the mere lip service 
of magic words! 

"And when they were come to the multitude, 
there came to him a certain man, 
kneeling down to him, and saying, 
'Lord, have mercy on my son: 
for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: 
for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, 
and oft into the water. 
And I brought him to thy disciples, 
and they could not cure him.'
Then Jesus answered and said, 
'O faithless and perverse generation, 
how long shall I be with you? 
how long shall I suffer you? 
bring him hither to me.'
And Jesus rebuked the devil; 
and he departed out of him: 
and the child was cured from that very hour. 
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, 
and said, 
'Why could not we cast him out?'
And Jesus said unto them, 
'Because of your unbelief: 
for verily I say unto you, 
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, 
ye shall say unto this mountain, 
Remove hence to yonder place; 
and it shall remove; 
and 
nothing shall be impossible unto you.'" 
Matthew 17.14-20


If those who learned directly from the King
had difficulty doing the impossible
we should not be disheartened
by our difficulty,
rather, 
we should be more determined!


Jesus said unto him, 
"If thou canst believe, 
all things are possible 
to him that believeth."
And straightway 
the father of the child cried out, 
and said with tears, 
"Lord, 
I believe; 
help thou mine unbelief."
Mark 9.23,24
