  1. We live in perilous and decadent times. Just look around you, every household is suffering. Somewhere around 1920, at the birth of modernity, the community of the majority turned away from God completely and celebrated the humanities and imaginative realm turned towards modern art, all that which is merely human, the pleasures of the flesh and the things of the world. But the spirit has had enough, humans in their ignorance have corrupted themselves and we are collectively now experiencing ... a curse, I would say, and we have brought it upon ourselves. Only through God can it be rectified, the human already had it´s try to repair itself, and this is where it has led us. If there is suffering, maybe the only thing one can do at this time is to accept it and try to learn what it is trying to tell you. The experiencing I, the I that is not the body, and not the human mind. But which have a human body and mind, needs to let go of the "we", that is to say, the human community. Instead replace it with this triangle: I, the holy ghost, God. The holy ghost is that which enters the human realm, in the flesh, becomes part of you, and guides you towards that which is beyond all that which the human mind can conceive of (God). The "we", the "sinners" that still wants to keep their modern community, will rebel, look at the culture war going on now. They will recieve the mark, so let them have it. it does not concern the spirit.
  2. With regards to overcoming the flesh I would say that the number one thing one needs to understand is not to cling to it. One just needs to have faith that the great spirit knows what´s best, not your human mind. The human mind always goes this is good, that is bad, good, bad, good, bad, good, bad ... it is stuck there. It does not know, it is in a state of confusion. So what can you do? nothing, except trust in God/the spirit and it will reveal itself when you are ready for it. But it won´t reveal itself to a human mind that is full of itself and its own ideas.
  3. You should be thankful of your social anxiety. Accept it, it is good. And it is there for a reason, that you might not be ready see yet. Maybe you do not want to admit to yourself how horrible people can be, how horrible their language can be, the devastations of the soul their way of communicating can cause. Jesus said: "“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters— yes, even his own life— he cannot be My disciple." This contains so much wisdom, it sounds rather crazy, but it is not. But, of course you dont tell them this. I thought I had social anxiety, but I later found out that the real reason was that I did not like people, and should just stop trying to fit in and communicate with them. And now I am cured. However, wise people I do not dislike. I would certainly not have disliked Jesus, if I met him. And I also hate my mother and father, brother and sister. If I had a wife and child I would hate them too. So, thats why I dont have a wife and children. I also dislike myself, as one ought to do. This form is limited and not free. And certainly I got to be in this form due to some stupid idea or sin. That said, the one thing I like about the human vessel is that it will, if one is open to it, and ready to pay attention to whats going on, help one become wise and holy again.
  4. This, by the way, (bellow) is a very interesting quote. It says "I will guide you with My eye", it does not say "I will guide you with my words". Look, at a certain point in mans spiritual development there is a shift away from the word, which is a tool, both a handy and horrible tool (when misused), to the eye. Remember, Jesus healed the blind man, gave him is sight back. So that he could see again. He who sees does not need to believe (anymore), cause the truth is evident to the seer. The word is a tool, when used by a master, like Jesus, and understood properly by the disciple, seeing is the gift of God. Jesus is a seer, not a believer. But one might start out as a believer and become a seer. So how does one learn to see? Go beyond the the mere figure and see the background. See how the words of Jesus manifests in the world, how it shows the underlying pattern of the world. Psalm 32:8 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
  5. All human communities are problematic, both religious and non-religious. Cause after all they are human in nature, but there certainly are better or worse communities. And some communities might be very beneficial to oneself, others will only cause suffering, pain and hell. As long as one understands that human communities are not perfect and is able to distinguish a boat that will sink from one that gets you to the other shore, then it´s fine. But closeness to the divine is not the same as closeness to any human community. A community and other people might help you get there, but ultimately, closeness to the divine is not the same as say closeness to your priest. How to say this ... closeness to the divine is a "inner hierarchy" out of this world, not any "outer hierarchy" that expresses itself as a plurality of humans. Having this inner hierarchy working properly within you, the divine will help you to overcome all your lacks, lusts, problems etc. But having the inner hierarchy working from within, is not nescesarely something you will enjoy. Cause repairing you might mean purgatorial experiences, which are not pleasant at all. But they are states one gotta go through to learn. I have seen heroin addicts, beggars, "crazy people" etc. people that society would consider lost forever be much closer to the divine than the ordinary person. Cause they are going through a purgatorial experience. But lets hope one does not have to go through such horrible experiences, by instead acting in accordance with the divine, so that ones actions and thought are not misled by the world, and the dark forces that wants to rule it, to think and do stupid things. But if you, God forbid, find yourself in hell, or in purgatory some day. Seeing demons, and all that, The metaphysical realm. Do not fear it. Go through it, and learn from what it wants to show you. You are not crazy. "See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea"
  6. Jesus words are not limited to eras, they are timeless and speaks of underlying patterns that are constant in the world. So what does "This evil generation" mean? well, just look around you. There has always been "the evil generation" for the religious inclined, although some generations worse than others. This generation however is pretty bad. Babylon is the seat of idolatry, the worship of things, idols, oneself etc. And again, look around you. It´s the world today. Babylon, as a state, a state of mind, stills exist. And from the higher immaterial world, there are only states, as in state of mind. And they have regional interest, just look how the US has exported it´s culture of trash and degrading gore. The US government as a "principality" is exporting itself, which is a state of mind. A lowly state of mind. Thats the beast, a lowly state of mind that seeks to enter you. How can prophecies exist? cause mystics have delved deep into the nature of man and seen the underlying pattern. The true Trinity does not exist in church, and the priest does not preach it. God is not in the church. The true Trinity is you, the holy ghost, and God. Now, you can replace the holy ghost with logos. You, the word, God. But this triangle does not work if you have You, The human community, God. Man runs along in circles, and his language is habitual, it is not configurated in a way that supports the spiritual life. My favorite trinity is this one: "You, Alice, God" (Alice as in Alice in wonderland) cause thats what you really are doing. Alice being the rabbit that leads one from dream or nightmare to awakening.
  7. Yes, don´t take before it is given to you. That´s seems to be the main message in the Garden of Eden story. And if it is given, then one comes down here to do service, not for oneself but for the whole, i.e. Jesus. The human id,ego,superego structure however comes here for all the wrong reasons and causes suffering. It takes, for itself. And devours. It is the snake, the devil, and all the demons of hell. That which is cut off from the divine.
  8. How did humanity and the world get in this sorry state it is in now? Certainly there is a disconnection from the divine spirit, that which animates all this. It is as if the spirit has left the landscape, and what is left is a sad landscape and a people who have blacked out, that is to say, forgotten divinity, and what is left is a kind of walking, materialist zombie. The zombie is a interesting metaphor, cause it is modern man. A devourer of both brain and spirit, just turn on the TV to see. What is left? just nastiness. A disgusting, psychothic community of the lower desires that don´t work, why would one want to have children in such a world? it seems as if the flesh and the material world is corrupted beyond repair at this time. It´s a barren desert. Certainly it´s all the lower desires of the human ego that has created this nightmare. The moneymen at top of the hierarchy, and soulless eaters at the bottom with their toys. The western world is all about toys and money, just look at christmas celebrations. I can see no future for this world, and this human community, it is as if the spirit has left it to rot. And maybe thats how it needs to be. Cause what is left in this world of greatness and divinity? What is left that stems from the soul? Not much. The world has forgotten its roots, and a tree without roots dies. And it feels like this is what is happening in the world now. And it might be that this is the way it needs to be, for those who reject it to connect to that which is above this mess. The house is burning, and those who chooses to stay inside to play with their toys will go down in the fire.
  9. It´s no secret that the antichrist is man himself. Not any one man, but man as such. The devil is man who have lost touch with the divine and who have corrupted himself and the world in search for earthly pleasures. We see today how low man has fallen, i.e. man has lost touch with the divine, and in doing so man becomes like the beast, and the beast is the whole man created system of control and governance. But each and everyone inside this system is responsible for their thoughts and actions, they become like the beast, the beast system. God is at this very moment helping those souls entrapped in this system get out. And its not easy, it might mean one has to let go of ones family (that might be part of the system), all ones toys and so on. The house is burning, and those who refuse to see it and decide to stay inside to play with their toys, will go down with it.
  10. Experientially the soul seems to be that state of mind when you yourself are gone, meaning your ego, socialy conditioned persona and all that. When you remove yourself from all lusts of the flesh for material objects and so on, then what is left? A kind of nothingness that yearns for nothing but light Sometimes it can take a lot of suffering, sickness, depression, spiritual problem etc ... to see the soul, and when you see that soul you see that it is the soul of all men and women- it is what is behind all of it, unless you are soulless that is. But do we want this state to be immortal? no, certainly not, cause it is not perfection. We often use the words "lost soul" and so on. The soul seeks God, and actually wants to get rid of itself. But one gotta connect to the soul to initiate any true search and yearning for God. That is the burning away of the social conditioned persona and ego, it is not pleasant.
  11. I don't like the idea of a soul simply cause it is something to cling on. We say "I have a immortal soul". It's very easy to say that, you see it in new age thinking and so on. Something immortal that is "mine" to cling to. "Go out with a bang, not a whimper."
  12. Maybe they deserve PTSD. After all they are making mindless entertainment for the young people to get hooked on. I am not saying all games are bad, far from it. But many are. They are just mindless entertainmet. It gets people to believe that everything is just entertainment and shuts of part of that part of the brain that is needed for religious/spiritual understanding. To understand the Bible you need imagination, you need to have a free imagination. So you can see its realities, not as words, but in your life. I feel very sorry for those who have had their imagination so toyed with that they just see everything as entertainment, to break out of it burns like hell.
  13. We are on the same page. What you wrote, and what the imaginative conjectures suggests is the same thing. It suggests the same kind of proecess, and doing. To turn, serve, and wait.
  14. This post is going to seem a little weird, it is ment to, but bear with me. Here shall we live in this terrible town Where the price for our minds shall squeeze them tight like a fist And the walls shall have eyes And the doors shall have ears But we'll dance in their dark And they'll play with our lives Like a Slow Burn Leading us on and on and on Like a Slow Burn Turning us round and round and round Hark who are we So small in times such as these Slow Burn Slow Burn -------------------- Black eyed ravens They spiral down They tilt his head back To the flame filled sunset Raise their guns high As the darken falls These are the days boys Shallow man Shallow man... and they Eats in the doorway With his head inclined And he's always in decline No-one heals anymore So he shrinks as they ride Under vermillion sky So it goes Just a searcher A lonely soul The last of the dreamers Shallow man Shallow man Speaks to the shadows Moves his trembling hands And he's always a little late For the dawning of the day So it goes Just a searcher Lonely soul The last of the dreamers ----------------- The shallow men of today eats in the doorways, and speaks to the shadows - your shadows. The serpent is both inside and outside, the phenomena is everywhere and in all times in western culture. Psychiatry etc. is one part of the serpent. The burning that needs to occur to free the mind from societies controll gets diagnosed, labeled as a mental sickness. It is not - it is the fear of God manifesting itself, which is the burning away of controll mechanisms. So that you can come face to face with the serpent in yourself and in your culture. The serpent is a controll mechanism, that makes sheeps and puts them into hiarchial structures. Its main weapon is speech. So then, the shallow men that is everywhere today eats in the doorways. Twists truth, and prevent this process of feeling the fear of God and the burning that follows, if you accept it and don't freak out and seek a psychiatrist or drugs, or whatever society offers.
  15. " It is how Satan drags you in to the pig pen of wrestling over words, where he is the master, " No I am right, No I am right, No you are wrong, No you are, I am right, You are, No I am not, You are right, No, Yes, No, Yes, No, No, Yes Yes ... I say "ok", it's not that important anyways.
  16. Today honesty, and a real, umovable trust and knowing of the reality of God, seems to really scare people. I think that most people as long as they have some heart, can sense this light even when they can just barely get a glimpse of it. Imagine if you had been in a cave all your life, never seeing the light of day outside, and then a suddenly tiny speck of light of light hits your eye, and then dissapear. The light blinds the eye cause the eye has not gotten used to seeing the light. To walk out of the cave would mean to walk blinded at first, with no sense of direction - the world that you believed to be real is gone, and you cannot trust in yourself to understand what is happening. It is a lot easier to just forget the speck of light, remove onself from the situation, go back to the old ways and choose to not see.
  17. In Europe, and it is propably the same way in the US, the young people ... especially the generation of say about 10-18 years. Seems to really, really have lost their way. They have no respect for anything or anyone, some of them are like vampires. I was sitting in a buss behind a gang four or five 12-14 year olds. They were spitting on seats and being like wild animals. I asked them to behave, then they attacked me verbally. I just stared the biggest bully of them in the eyes for a good 5 minutes until they shut their mouth. Then, when i left the buss, I was quite saddened by how many kids these days have turned into, well ... little devils. These kids seemed totally lost. What would you do in this situation, get angry and confront them verbally, just leave, or do as I did - just stare them in the eyes?
  18. Yes, the super-heroes, What they do to a childs mind and, is to create this false idealization of human super powers. So for example, when they grow up they spend all their time in the gym trying to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Becomes part of the machinery - buys protein powder and feed the always hungry capitalist system. It screams: me, me, me! feed me, feed me! that's really what one becomes when going down these paths, narcisstic and ignorant, there can't be any truth in a mind that screams like that.
  19. I will look into it. Materialism, lust for power, narcissism and ignorance is the fake god-head of the masses today, we see the effect in the climate crisis which maybe just has begun. There really is no such thing as atheism, humans alway worship something: be it their own self, their car, wife, money, rationality, their job and so on ... Underlying all this there is a mountain of lies.
  20. So, when Jesus' died for our sins, he died for our lack of knowledge of the word? and that this lack of knowledge in the word caused us not to be able to have understanding or wisdom either?
  21. That is interesting. So would that mean, when Jesus was crucified, that the knowledge of the word was crucified? And that it this way, needs to be a rebirth - a rebirth of the word? so that the holy spirit can shine understanding on the knowledge And that this then is the trinity? when united: Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Father: Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom.
  22. Maybe it is about finding a tradition, a group of people, that share a common understanding that does not confuse you, but grounds you in wisdom. I don't know. I stay open to different Christian traditions, but I will say this: this openness also leads to confusion for me.
  23. Isn't the problem with words this: we don't know how others might understand them. And unless we are saints our own misunderstandings might show through the words, and mislead? And even when reading the Bible, do we have a guarantee that we are understanding the words correctly? there are many different hermeneutical methods of reading the Bible, and different groups of Christians read it in a slightly different manner. I read it this way: I try different interpretations, see if I can understand and find it in my own life. If I do, this is a sort of salvation, cause it leads to understanding.
  24. Just to make it clear, I am not at all into New Age thinking. I find that New-age doctrine puts the ego-self, I [my name here] AM, on a pedestal. Like modern personal development. It inflates the ego-self and one looses the humbleness, and from there the climb (or fall) down the hill is steep and not at all pleasant. Is the studying of the Bible a remedy for this? yes, I believe so - divinely inspired words protects one from this fall, cause on do not climb ut this deceivful mountain in the first place.
