But it is incomplete. However, those things that man chose to leave out. God by the Spirit is leading us to.

Thanks for your info. Like you, I believe God wants us to be a sweet smell of His love. The Spirit guides me to the word of God, and specific passages that talk about following sound doctrine, like I Tim. 4:1 and 6. As to the credibility of the Bible being God’s word, I do believe the doctrine we have been taught is the truth and heart of God.

God and Consciousness are the same. New age language but the same being. Higher Consciousness would be the transition that John speaks of. In the beginning was the word (God). The word was with us(but outside of us in our mind, this is duality). Then the word became flesh. This the beginning of the end of duality. This is why Jesus is so special. He actually made the transition as a human being, so that he could show us when we were ready to see it. It is not something you become, just an awareness of who you already are.

Like waking up and saying I smell lavendar. You run all over the house to see where this wonderful fragrance is coming from. Then all of a sudden you realize the sent is coming from you.

You are ready to eat solid food Linda. The word is so near you. It is in your heart. “Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against you”. You carry it inside of you everywhere you go. Sin is not a challenge to be managed because the relationship is so special, so important, so much a part of you that you cannot be seperated. Neither do you want to be.

And yes no specific doctrine in implied. We do not really know how much of the doctrine we have been taught is truth. But Jesus said that the spirit would lead us to all truth. I trust my intuition so much that following a doctrine is not a concern. When I am operating outside of love I know that I have crossed that line. Thus comes in the commandment that Jesus gave us which supercedes all others. I can simply ask my self “Am I loving God with all my heart, mind, strength at this moment? Am I loving others as myself?” When I can answer those two questions afirmatively, I am folowing the doctrine that is written on my heart.

Paulette, I’ve understood consciousness to be simply an awareness of who God is, which does not necessarily involve receiving specific doctrine. Is this correct in your opinion?

I would define solid food as the teachings about how to love others which when practiced will bring us to being conformed to the image of Jesus. For example, putting others first, even when our own desires go unmet, would be considered “solid food.”

I think it is just the language of the time of the writing of Hebrew. Often what is being said is not so different. It is the terminology and advancement of the human language that has changed.

I find it interesting that the writer of Hebrews tells us that maturity is not found by an increasing level of consciousness, but by eating the solid food of the word so Christians can discern between good and evil. (Heb. 5:14)

Here is the quote of the day from Abraham-Hicks. This really resonates in my heart as truth guys. Even if you don’t believe, try it and give me your feedback.

Life is supposed to be fun. You said, “I’ll go forth and choose. I’ll look at the data, and I’ll say, yes to this, and yes to this, and yes to this, and I’ll paint a picture of the things that I want, and I’ll vibrate about them, because that’s what I’m giving my attention to. And the Universe will respond to my vibration. And then I’ll stand in a new place where a whole new batch of yeses are available, and I’ll say yes to this, and yes to this, and yes to this.” You did not say, “I’ll go forth and struggle into joy”, because from your Nonphysical Perspective you know it is vibrationally not possible. You cannot struggle to joy. Struggle and joy are not on the same channel. You joy your way to joy. You laugh your way to success. It is through your joy that good things come.

Thank God for opening are hearts and minds to see His love more and more. Paul prayed that God would open our hearts to a love that is beyond measure. What a blessing to have eyes to see His love and grow to know that love more in the journey of this life.

Even the English poet William Blake distinguished between the Individual and the states or stages of consciousness through which the Individual passes. The Individual is the Supreme Reality, moving through these various states of consciousness–the climax of the states is Christ. The states themselves reflect vibrations that key from low to high, or “evil” to “good”—that’s why it is so important never to judge the Individual by the state in which he/she operates, because the Individual is not the state.

Eruesso- As an historian, I know of James Fowler’s works. There is little that I know that’s new, just processed and synthetized information from many who have gone before. It’s truly an eye-opener when we study how we got here (theologically speaking) and from where are roots were planted. As the philosopher has said, “We can’t know where we are or where we are going until we know from whence we came.” We’re about to embark on such an exponential jump in consciousness our heads will be (already are) spinning. All creation is awaiting the manifestation of the “Children of God”…..which isn’t limited to any one religion.
