Walking with and in the Messiah




Who are we carrying on our shoulders, the old Adam who is grumpy and depressed or the Ultimate Adam who is a life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45)? Who is really living our life?

Assuming one has
already a Holy Spirit seed or divine soul-embryo in growth, in the best of cases the Master and the Fallen Adam alternate, as the famous Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, each of which lived in the unconscious underworld, while the other existed in the land of the living.

Precisely that is the theme of this month's Moon, Gemini, the Twins, illustrated in the story of the  Gadarene demoniac whose name was "Legion" and lived among "sepulchers" (Mark 5), or the episode of the Messiah asleep at the bottom of the boat, the unconscious of the soul (Matthew 8:24), until He awakens and drives
the storm away.

Very often we only perceive one side, and thus both suffer torments, one as a lamb led to the slaughterhouse (Isaiah 53) and another as a devil ... thrown into the lake of fire (Apocalypse 20:10). And it is in that lack of attention where our sorrows lie.

That is why we must learn to perceive the Master in the depths of our soul, for it is He who truly feels without interference of low thoughts and emotions.

Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls; for my yoke is easy, and my burden light (Matthew 11: 28-30)
 

One of the most harmful mental lies instilled in the human being is that he is alone in the world and everything depends on his sacrifice and effort, which reinforces the sense of an isolated ego, the mind that is not capable of "letting go" the burdens of itself."

Today there are even many deceitful luciferic slogans such as: "be yourself", "listen to your body and your heart" ... and few realize that this
ordinary "yourself", "body" and "heart" are  Gadalenic legions of contradictory impulses or selves, full of suffering, hatred towards others, greed, envy, desire to impose, forget burdens, confusion...

But what is needed is something very different.

I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26)

He breathed on them and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit (John 20:22)

But those who have received the message of the Messiah / Anointed / Kristos and a new spirit of action, should already be able to taste a Mind whose feeling makes us perhaps more vulnerable to the wounds of the world but also more unbreakable, to achieve even the impossible, which is to observe
impartially and rescue little by little the fragments of the personal soul, which contain the sparks of immortal light of old Adam, fallen and trapped in the form of a satanic ego from ancestral times. Indeed, something within us needs to be rescued and redeemed, because its torment does not cease life after life.

And for this it is not enough to confess sins and repent, as believed in many churches, because that way we just keep missing the mark, and therefore getting sick and dying. In the Gospels John the Baptist speaks of metanoia, which is not repentance, but transformation of consciousness, a radical turn that leads to aphesis or liberation, complete cessation of transgression, what eventually leads to physical regeneration and immortality of the soul.

There lies the role of the Savior, the Messiah/Anointed, the Pauline Kristos Iesous, who is not an external character, but a Divine Soul that comes from the Father-Origin, with four different degrees of develoment (Nefesh, Ruaj, Neshema, Haya) that come to rectify the fallen soul-body during lifetime, until immortality is accomplished. Sadly, few perceive His Presence and relate to the Master as with a Righteous Husband, even after receiving his "first stage seed":

But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave you, my peace I give you (John 14: 26-27)


But here the Holy Spirit is the emotional seed, the
reminding factor about the Teachings of the sent Son and the feeling of communion in the heart. And these are not enough, being only a prophetic witness and a gift of spirit:

Because the testimony of Iesous is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10)
 

And as Paul said:

...if I had prophecy, and understood all mysteries and all knowledge ... and I have no love, I am nothing (1 Corinthians 13: 2)

Because the gifts and the call of God
are without repentance (ametameletos) (Romans 11:29)

It is not enough to mentally believe that the incarnate Son suffered and his soul rose again to merge with the Father. Now the rest of the body of the Messiah, with all his Love, Life, Conscience and Peace, must incarnate and express himself in humanity following the same process of Yehoshua/Iesous.

It is thus necessary to receive the Spirit of Truth, the Shejinah or Divine Mind that the Son sends from the Father, whose Teaching/Torah exposes our hidden motives, our most unconscious errors and makes us really wake up, discovering the Son of God within us: 

But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who comes from the Father, he will bear witness about me (John 15:26)
 

And when we have the two testimonies, of Father and of the Son, we can understand what Paul said:

 Because who knew the mind of the Master? Who will instruct him? However, we have the Mind of the Anointed One (1 Corinthians 2:16).
 

It is the Divine Mind what gives testimony or becomes a Witness of the Son within the person, makes one invulnerable, incapable of transgressing the Law, since everyone who is born of God, does not practice sin, for He [Son-Soul] who was begotten of God [in the person] keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him (1 John 5:28)

Now, as soon as we begin to perceive the two Adamic souls within us, the Truth is born with greater intensity, as a battle:

 Then the dragon [fallen Adam] was angry against the woman [soul-embryo], and went to fight the rest of his children, those who keep the Commandments of God (Testimony of the Father) and have the testimony of Iesous (within themselves) (Revelation 12: 11-17)

And as the Baptist said, it is necessary for Him to increase, so that I may decrease (John 3:30)
 

Only then can we deny the impulses of the old soul, carrying the cross of the world, including generational transgressions that we never committed. That is to bear the sins of the world. Blaming others does not help. Our divine part came to redeem. 

So, in you this feeling that there was also in Christ Iesous, who, being in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God as something to cling to, but he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, made similar to men (Philippians 2: 5-11)

Self-emptying is precisely the meaning of walking, halakah, the Way of Love, Life, Conscience and Peace. Here is the central message in the whole Teaching of the Anointed One/Messiah, to be aware of the immanent Divine Presence through His Body, the New Soul in us, and his personal relationship with the life of each one. What the prophets called: God with us, Emanu-El.

This immanence appears mentioned from the Genesis account, where the living soul which Adam became, conversed in the Garden of Eden with the Divinity, but the relation was interrupted when the adamic soul bit the forbidden ego-fruit or separated self, with pleasures provided by the energetic body, the Najash or Serpent. From the moment the soul wanted something different than what she already had, she felt "naked" and with "fear".

Thus the level of consciousness descended to the world of the senses, losing sight of the state called Edenic
Garden or Gan Eden. Gan consists of the letters Gimel and Nun, which represent the body or Guf and the Neshema or mental Soul that connects with the Divine, while Eden has to do with perception of divine bliss. Since the Adamic fall, the gap between human consciousness and the Divine became greater. And despite it was reestablished with the giving of the Torah and the people of Israel regained some consciousness, that part of humanity fell back into the worship of the "external idols", the Golden Calf, Egel.

By contrast, the New Soul-Spirit of the Messiah, generated by Yehoshua/Iesous Kristos, vivifies and can no longer fall (1 Corinthians 15:45), being able to reestablish the connection within those who receive it and feed it with proper Teachings. 

Even before the Testimony of Yehoshua/Iesous, Enoch himself walked with the divine powers/Ha Elohim (Genesis 5:22), to the point that he managed to vivify or raise the vibration of his body to the level of the soul and crossed the threshold of the material world, transcending it. Thus began the legend of Metatron, Thoth or Hermes Trismegistos, according to ancient texts.

Yet he did not receive the ability to beget souls, as Yehoshua/Iesous manages to do from the Father or Cosmic Mind. The reconnection was only possible with the arrival of a new spirit, imparted by the Master, to all who listen, study and understand His Word, which enables a new way of walking, surrounded by Truth, even in adversity. 

The kingdom of heaven has approached (Matthew 3: 2)

Part of the process involves what the Franciscan friar Richard Rohr calls breathing underwater:

All of the work of God is getting us back into the garden to believe what was always true and will always be true  and is true at this very moment but most of us, because of with our thinking mind, because our intense self-hatred, and self-doubt don´t believe it any more. Therefore we have to find a new way of breathing, a new way of taking in life. I call it the contemplative mind, over the calculating mind  that most of us have been trained to think with. The way of breathing under water is quite simply  some form of simple contemplativa mind. You don´t have to make it highly religious. It´s as simple as the breath, but it does not happen through the mind. You cannot get there, You can only be there [1]

It all depends on whom we carry on our back. 

As you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they too are in us, so that the world believes that you you sent. I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one: I am in them, and you are in me (John 17: 21-23).
 

For... in Him we live, move and have our being... we are his offspring (Acts 17)
