The Open Mind, Curiosity, and A Non-Judgmental Attitude

The Open Mind, Curiosity, A Non-Judgmental Attitude are strange things in this world it seems.  I have had a number of PhD Psychologists beat there head against the wall looking for a pattern to fit me.  The trouble is I am unique in this world and you need t learn from what God has put within me.

My behavior may seem odd, but trust me it is not.  You just cannot understand because you cannot see truth.  In order to see truth yo need an open mind.  This starts with understanding yourself.  Once you know "you," you can begin to know truth abut the world and others opinions.  But everyone sees through their own glasses and you need to understand the prescription.  Once you know yours you can understand what you are truly seeing.  Next you are prepared to see from the others perspective.

Once you open your mind your eyes are will no longer be closed and you can  know truth, love, and happiness.  Without an open mind you are doomed to a second tier life of understanding.

So listen to God and everyone around you.  Do not believe it all but filter it out based on truth and integrity.

My Understanding of Love and Man's Dark Side as Well as candidate antichrists if this goes to far.

You have no idea of the power of the antichrist because your eyes are closed.  I was sent here to open them.  The spirit of the antiChrist as well as the spirit of Christ (Holy Spirit or conscious) both are within each of us.  the antichrist has short term shinny toys to attract you.  Where Christ speaks of long term rewards.  I have not had any deep long term friends, I believe to keep God's plan as described in Isaiah 53.  There is a dual principle of Christ that has not been considered.  That being the second coming is not a sin free Son of God ( the lamb ) but a son of man with sin ( the goat ). The Jewish know this.  It is the Christians who have their eyes closed.  There are also those jezebels who think keeping me from having a male child switches the role of Gender.  But the covenant with David is clear.  No male offspring would mean no more kingdom, reset to Genesis.

The Circle of Love
 
Mind: Openly Give, Commitment to Communicate Openly and Completely with Truth, Honesty, and Respect. -> Opens and Deepens Heart

Heart: Openly Grant Trust, Respect, Loyalty, Others Needs(Security / Physical Intimacy) -> Deepens Soul

Soul: Openly Receiver Fruits -  Joy, Peace, Oneness, Understanding(Logic / Emotion), Forgiveness, -> Strengthens Mind




God has been trying to purify the human trinity, i.e. the Mind, Heart, and Spirit.  He first sent the Word for the mind, but it was not enough. Next he sent Christ for the heart.  Thirdly he sent the Counselor  or the light for the spirit.  The trinity of God matches the trinity of man.

I have much to offer but it is hard to get out when constantly surround by Freemasons, NWO, and whitehouse spies. not to mention Satan's other minions. 

In 1963 there was the entry of the 10 horned beast of revelations.  Levi was first, Netanyahu was last and the near fatal blow was when Rabin turned to peace.  Then the beast ate it's own.  The beast is not the nation of Israel but an evil secret worldwide network.

But God has shown me many things, but Judges 3 leads me to believe we were put here to test Israel, and we both failed to varying degrees.  But our support of Israel denies Christ in so many ways it is ridiculous.  Just by definition they deny Christ was the Son of God.  So our support of Israel's government makes the USA also a nation of anttiChrists,  because we support a government of  antiChrists, hence we deny Christ.  Not to mention the actions of their government being based on techniques cursed by God (see Deut 27).

So the only uncertainty is who is the man of lawlessness.  Is it the GOP or Obama or some bad eggs in his staff, or both.  Certainly there is much lawlessness coming from all including the Jezebel who stashes away money. 

Personally I feel that we will save it from such a terrible fate if we can just come together.  Men and women need to understand each other better.

The Spirit of The Antichrist

The Spirit of the AntiChrist has been in the world since the time of the writing of the New Testament, was already here.  I believe that this spirit is what people feel in their heart when they claim to feel the spirit.  Here is why:
I believe that the third part of the trinity is a son of man, born of man and partially described in Isaiah 53.  Together this son of man and the Son of God complete the trinity.  So the three together are of God.  They all contain some of God.  I do not profess to be able to prove this yet, but I am throwing it out for scholarly consideration.  The light and the Counselor are different than what we once thought.  I believe that the message of Christ was to put the rules into the heart.  By doing so the conscious of a person can easily explain the notion some feel and call the holy spirit.  But others that feel good when doing things like controlling and judging are not of this spirit and may be the result of the unholy spirit or the spirit of the antichrist.

Detecting AntiChrist

An antichrist is easy to spot by this simple test. Do there fruits deny Christ.
1 John 2:22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.

The Spirit of AntiChrist

1 John 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

The rest of this I do not have scriptural support for but it my theory on Satan's methods, to which I have been witnessing.

1 John 4:3 describes the spirit of the antichrist or what I call the "Unholy Spirit."  It lies and pretends to be the Holy Spirit.  It has captured many and convinced them they are saved.  They appear to believe they have the spirit.

It is in control of the many networks that compose the Network of Satan.  So how does one tell if they are being influenced by the Holy Spirit or the Unholy Spirit.  It is actually easy if you understand Christ's Love and His covenant with us.  The problem is the Church has been leavened, and teaches much false or incomplete. 

Fight the Good Fight

1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, 20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

"It" is The Key to Growth

So what is something so valuable "it" cannot be priced.
    God gave his son to preach "it."
    And adopted another to teach "it"
"It" is simple but at the same time complex.
One can argue that God devoted the whole Bible to "it."
In short "it" will open your eyes.
But just in case you do not get "it," here is a list of hints: 
    "it" cannot be seen directly,  but is easily known,
    "it" sees everything,
    "it" allows us to see,
    "it" allows us to be free,
    "it" allows us to love,
    "it" gives us understanding,
    "it" involves more than one.
    "it" is essential for a couple,
    "it" is the secret to life.
    "it" is required to see oneself.
    "it" is needed to see the truth.
    "it" is so beautiful we cannot imagine.
    "it" is non judgmental.
Without "it" we are forever lost, confused, never see reality, and will never know love.

So what could be so hidden in plain sight and not be discovered the beginning of time?
Well I'm not telling, because everyone needs to discover this for themselves.

What is it?

Unknown Source

Saturday was festive in Gaza-there was genuine joy in the air. December 16, 1995. The eighth anniversary of the founding of Hamas. Looking like the Rose Bowl during a college championship game more than a dumping ground for refugees, Gaza City was alive with Color, music, and pageantry. Colorful balloons of green and white filled the sky, as did the smell of gunpowder and the occasional ear-popping explosions of AK-47s being fired on full auto. Small children ate deep-fried Awami treats as they sat on their father's shoulders and watched masked men dressed in black wave razor sharp swords that sparkled in the cheating stabs of sunlight that managed to break through the rain clouds.
In Gaza stadium, where the applause and cheers made it seem like a pop concert more than a religious revival, Hamas activist Mohammed Taha fired up the crowd by promising the ten thousand-plus in attendance that Hamas would, indeed, continue killing Israelis. In the crowd, men frenzied with rage and devotion shouted "Kill them by the busload!" There were colorful murals on display surrounding the main podium, including depictions of Hamas activities such as stabbing and stoning Israeli soldiers. Palestinian policemen wandering outside the stadium appeared amused by the celebrations.

Souvenir hawkers sold trinkets and flags, T-shirts and banners. Bootleg audiocassettes were a particularly lucrative concession, especially a tape of popular songs entitled The Engineer. Selling for about 80 cents, or three hours wage for the average Palestinian laborer, the tape celebrated the handiwork of Yehiya Ayyash. "Strike, oh engineer. You're the Lion that scares the enemy. Plan, strike, and return the land of our grandparents. With and explosive belt you make your glories."

The line to buy the tape was long, as were lines to buy T-shirts bearing the image of Yehiya Ayyash and posters of his face emblazoned over a fireball and the skyline of the Old City of Jerusalem. Mostly, small kids and teenagers bought the poorly produced, high decibel tapes, but there were also a few older gentlemen on line with cash in hand. Most of the vendors thought them to be agents of one of Arafat's security entities; after all, they openly wore pistols, poorly cut polyester blouses over black cotton pants, and shoes that appeared too tight. Only spies or security agents could dress so shabbily.

On the night of November 8, 1995, less than ninety-six hours after the two rounds exploded inside the chest of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, Yasir Arafat did what many Israelis thought even more far-fetched than a Jew killing an Israeli premier-he traveled to Tel Aviv. The Shin Bet had argued against Arafat attending Rabin's funeral on security grounds, and there were many in Force 17 who echoed these sentiments. There was also the problem of imagery. The sight of the Palestinian president visiting Jerusalem only two days after the assassination of the Israeli premier was too much, many Israeli insiders felt, for the public to tolerate. Arafat's presence would provoke far more than it would console. It would certainly have created bizarre theater of the surreal, this new Middle East. Nevertheless, Arafat had been overwhelmed by Rabin's assassination-he had spoken to the Israeli prime minister only two hours before Amir's bullets were fired. Aides told reporters that Arafat had cried when he learned that Rabin had been shot in the back.

Arafat was flown to Tel Aviv courtesy of an Israel Air Force chopper. Under a tight veil of secrecy, and under the watch of Israeli special forces and Shin Bet agents, Arafat paid a condolence call on Rabin's widow, Leah. Sipping a cup of tea in a ceramic cup, Arafat looked sullen and remorseful. His anguished face reflected the dark clouds looming over the horizon of the peace accords. Arafat stayed with Leah Rabin for ninety minutes. He was flown back to Gaza after midnight, and news of the visit was not released until late the following day.

Arafat's call on Rabin's widow was arranged by Yossi Ginosar, a former Shin Bet cut official who was instrumental back in 1986 of forging the then illegal back-door contacts with Arafat and his security apparatus. Ginosar had a brilliant career in the Shin Bet cut short as a result of two scandals that rocked the agency in the mid-1980s. He had survived dark spasms of Shin Bet history before, though the state of affairs at Shin Bet HQ in the wake of Rabin's assassination was the darkest they had ever been. In fact, it was the worst crisis within the ranks of an Israeli intelligence service since October 1973, when A'man failed to predict the impending invasion by both Syria and Egypt.

The mood at the Shin Bet was of utter despair. There was no controversy surrounding the tragedy, and no top-secret security blanket with which to cover the terrible blunders. The organization had failed in one of its basic and most sacrosanct missions. The country was teetering as a result. The agents not involved in the fiasco, those not complicit in the collapse, nevertheless shared the shame of the VIP Protection Unit. The mood of failure was infectious. If there is one thing that penetrates the skin of an Israeli more than anything it is the notion of a friyer, the slang term for sucker. The Shin Bet was now a national joke-a national concern. Preventing the next wave of Hamas bombings through aggressive fieldwork, the tradecraft that the Shin Bet was legendary for, would be next to impossible as public scrutiny of the agency's most humiliating chapter was bound to compromise its ability to intimidate and manipulate.

On November 8 the Shin Bet launched an extensive internal investigation. The investigating committee, chaired by three former Shin Bet division heads, was tasked with examining: (a) preparation for the Peace March operation; (b) intelligence gathering for the event; (c) the coordination of intelligence assets with security inputs; (d) coordination of the security for the event with the National Police, the Ya'ma'm, paramedics, event organizers, and others; and (e) the performance of the VIP Protection Unit during the peace rally. Many inside the Shin Bet knew that careers would be ruined and lives possibly destroyed; there was even talk about bringing charges of criminal negligence against the Shin Bet agents who had allowed the assassin to get so close. Already Shin Bet officials had gone public with charges of neglect against the police for failing to maintain a sterile area around Rabin's limousine; the police closed ranks with charges of their own. Former heads of the Shin Bet joined the fray, pointing fingers and laying blame; some even called for Gillon, still only identifiable as "Kaf" in the press, to resign. Even former agents of the U.S. Secret Service were interviewed in the Israeli press sharing their criticisms and opinions; after all, the Secret Service had withstood the storm of the Kennedy assassination and, some seventeen years later, would once again have their methods reviewed following a failed attempt by a lone and crazed gunman to assassinate President Ronald Reagan.

Love Is

Love is to give, it allows us live. 
Love is elusive, if we are reclusive.
Love is a tool, not known to a fool.
Love is to trust, because you must.
Love is inspired, but never required.
Love is a flower, with infinite power.
Love is to embrace, His infinite grace.
Love is to live, because we can forgive.
Love is to talk, so the other won't walk.
Love is all outward, without any inward.
Love is to listen, so together you glisten.
Love is to respect, even those with defect.
Love is the product, of intentional conduct.
Love is to never neglect, but always to PROTECT.
Love is a gift from God, not some guy named Rod.
Love is ever increasing, I believe even after deceasing.

Hear me now, and hear me good.  G-d has been shaking me by the shoulders for over 3 years.  It took me 2.5 to realize it was G-d but the facts are our actions as a country alienate God.  We are idolaters to the Nth degree.  Top to bottom, and back to top, we deny G-d and his Son Christ.  I have been receiving signals to leave the US, because he was going to level the place.  He also instructed me to go to the gates if Israel to tell then the same.

The problem is I have not had confidence due to the vast surveillance, including everything from US Army Special Forces, US Marine Reservists, Whitehouse trafficking task force, UN slavery group, DoD contractors, Northrop, SAIC, FCI, EPA, FEMA, HHS, DIA, CIA, FIS, Loudoun County Public Schools and other county Employees, United Airlines,  to nane a few.  These are the ones that I interacted with.  Also found in among my odd world, were religious groups, Freemason's, and the secret societies like NWO or Illuminate. or whatever you call em.  I call the the Illuminutty.
But the worst part is the massive church involvement.

My parents are conformant as well.  I discovered that my dad was a Freemason.  The women of Zion have disappointed the most as I would have done anything to support the weak.

The biggest issue being that the epic surveillance that I have been cut off from the herd.

The gaslighting, gang stalking, and PSYOP effects, have made it challenging to talk to G-d.

So please do not think I am lazy for not acting faster.

There is also some witchcraft group called the transfiguration redeeemer.  So do not be too mad if I ask some odd questions.

Love

i know my own weakness is I love too freely. Without the proper checks mistakes of not saying no and going with the flow can lead to less than perfect situations. We need to be deliberate about our needs and define a plan or goal or list of must haves. Then never compromise. We also need to recognize and understand the differences between men and women. First thing is to understand love means to give (love the verb), the fruits of love are what we often think of, joy (love the noun). Equally important is open, honest, complete communication. Then trust, respect, also, but the biggest fruit of this labor is understanding. And it must be labor, because without sacrifice of yourself you cannot achieve the heights of love. The more you give the more you gain.

Have We Misunderstood A Few Things?

When Christ said do this im remembrance of me, he broke bread and shared it.  And they drank from his cup.  Well consider this,

• The bread is the Word, the Bible.
• Breaking it is to open it.
• The cup represented his lifeblood, his thoughts and communication.

So cold his intention be to meet, open the bible, and share thoughts and ideas. i.e. Bible Study.

Could Communion mean to have Bible Study?

I will not state it but I propose it, as a thought.

Secrets in Our Government are Destroying our Children's Future

In the plot below are the deficit for each year since 1999.  The colors represent the different presidents and show a pattern of spending.  

• Yellow - Clinton
• Blue  - Bush
• Red - Obama

The pattern here is undeniable.  It appears that the government is on a spending spree.  Given the large number of classified or secret expenses a situation of taxation without representation exists as only a select few have access to that data.

• Secrets in Our Government Spending 
• Create Hiding Places for Corruption
• Secrecy of Budget
• Taxation Without Representation

My Utopia

My Utopia is
a world with love, and grace from above.
A world without worry, or a sense of hurry.
A world without secrecy, and it's hypocrisy.

A world without pain, and just enough rain.

A world without danger, no need of a ranger.
A world without terror, and there is no error.
A world without greed, and none are in need.

A world without sickness, or any wickedness.

A world without fear, where all are held dear.
A world without corruption, that causes disruption.

A world without loneliness, because of it's holiness.

A world without hunger, and all seem a bit younger.
A world without judging, because there's no begrudging.

Do We Support Christ or The Antichrist?

Do We The People of The United States of America support Christ or the Antichrist? 

We claim to be a Christian nation, with the phrase "One Nation Under God," and we give huge amounts of money to the state of Israel. If we are a Christian nation how can we support those who deny Christ and God per 1 John 2:22.

1 John 2:18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

1 John 2:22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.According to this scripture would the Jewish people who believe Christ was a false prophet or at a minimum not the

Messiah, should not be followed, else we are hypocrites and deny Christ and God too.  Such behavior is disingenuous, and reflects a weak heart, one without Christ's love.

• Beliefs 
• Christians believe that Christ is the Messiah 
• and that anyone that denies Christ the Messiah is the antiChrist.
• Jewish people believe Jesus is not the Messiah, see www.aish.com 

So we have three options.

1. Christians are correct and the Jewish people have their eyes closed by God.
2. Jewish are correct and the Christians have their eyes closed by God
3. God has closed all eyes.  He sent Christ to enable the Gentiles and encourage the Jewish.  But pride, jealousy, greed, and lust overcame the lot.  The Christians say the Jews deny Christ, which would make them the antichrist.  So if true our support of Israel is oddly hypocritical.
4. Same as 3 but, the Jewish are correct, and Christians  cannot see the truth in the Bible.

The dilemma is are the Jewish the antichrist or do the Christians have a misunderstanding.  First I will say what I believe to be true does not change anything about Christ in our religion,  but acknowledges that there is another who returns.  One item the Jewish and Christians disagree on is Isaiah 53.  Christians say it is Christ, but Jewish disagree.

Lack of full prophetic fulfillment, among other items, cause the Jewish to rule out Christ as the Messiah, along with their interpretation of Isaiah 53.  Because of the virgin birth, Chist who died on the Cross could not be the root of David, is what they believe. Personally I feel God could have achieved that. There are certain things that I feel rules out Christ on Isaiah 53.  The biggest one is that given in Isaiah 53:10 "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days, and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand." 

The verse in the Hebrew uses this word: חָפֵ֤ץ cha·fetz : meaning to delight in.

So I strongly believe that my God would not delight in making a sinless son suffer.  Perhaps he he was willing to make the sacrifice but not delight in it.  This says something about God that I find unbelievable.  

I feel it is a huge slap in the face to assume our God would delight in the punishment of a sinless son.  So I agree completely with the Jewish disagreement on the interpretation of Isaiah 53.  I have other items as well.  But I feel this is enough to disprove it.  

A Brief Look at Our Relation to the Jewish 

As those as in Judges 3, we may have been created to test or train the nation of Israel.  The Gentiles were granted a path to Heaven to make the Israelites jealous.
Romans 11:11 "Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious." 12 "But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!"Romans 11:13 "I am talking to you Gentiles.  Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches

Regardless of the chosen status of the Israeli people.  We are still responsible for our own actions.  We cannot justify ourselves by anything other than Christ.  By supporting US/Israel in actions that are cursed by God in Deuteronomy 27 and clearly go against what Christ told us we are alienated from both ends.  So both the Israeli government is not acting in God's will.  Our leaders mislead us and we are like sheep walking to slaughter.  Knowing we are doomed with our eyes closed, they use our economy to wage their wars.  Make no mistake the people in charge are not God's chosen.  But Gentiles taking refuge with the Jews.  Their greed drives many secret networks, with the goal being to create division using fear.  

God's Word's on Our Actions

Our nations leaders are cursed according to God's Law as stated in Deuteronomy 27-29, 

Deuteronomy 27:15 “Cursed is anyone who makes an idol—a thing detestable to the Lord, the work of skilled hands—and sets it up in secret.”Deuteronomy 27:17 “Cursed is anyone who moves their neighbor’s boundary stone.”
Deuteronomy 27:18 “Cursed is anyone who leads the blind astray on the road.”

Deuteronomy 27:19 “Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.”

Deuteronomy 27:24 “Cursed is anyone who kills their neighbor secretly.” 
Deuteronomy 27:26 “Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out.”

• We ate all at fault for: the use of Laser Guided Weapons,  Drones,  Assassinations, Covert Killing,  and Bulldozers in Gaza deny foreigners justice, kill in secret, all in an effort to move a property line.
• Our leaders are additionally at fault for leading us astray, and accepting money by some in addition to the above.
• We are idolaters of weapons and money.  Deuteronomy 27:15 applies to weapons due to the skill and secrecy.  In fact the entire intelligence operation that uses high tech surveillance is possibly an issue as we use the product to kill not for peace.
• Further if we examine our actions against Christ's commands we see we again fall short. 

Christ's Word's on Our Actions

As Christians we believe the only way to heaven is through Christ. 

John 14:6 "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Galatians 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 

Christ Covenant was simple. Love your fellow man including your enemy unto death. 

Mark 12:30 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’...”John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

Matthew 5:44 "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,...." 

Luke 6:27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

So given how Christ states the above I see no we could justify our actions.  I feel strongly that there is evil afoot.  But I do not know for sure who.  Obama acts fishy and certainly odd that his religious supporting seem fluid at best.  I know that there is evil causing the terror.  I am of the "opinion" that it comes from Israels power (not sure if Netanyahu is the source or a conduit, willing or not) as many of those are trapped in a spiritual knot.  Regardless we spend an extraordinary amount on weapons.  Our culture idolatries money, weapons, at least 50 shades of gray wrt sexual behavior.

Idolatry of Money

Matthew 6:24  “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Luke 16:13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

The Big Picture

We as a nation(s) are corrupt, God is trying to get us to return to good ways. He is threatening us with global calamity.  But if we can turn it around we will get more time.  Don we have a chance at Peace only if we try.  And supporting terror, or with money, or at all someone who is doing evil in the world we become agents for evil.  Regardless of our fear,m God expects us to do the right thing!

God's Gestures

God has provided a solution.  God has been trying to get us to listen since the beginning, taking the Israeli's into Egypt for a long time.  He is trying to break us down so that we can become interdependent.  But the Jewish people were stubborn as are we all.  So He gave a grand gesture to get their attention, giving His only Son to suffer and die so that we might see how much He Loves us, and that we listen.  But we did not listen and crucified him.  Now he allows us to come to the utter brink of self destruction just to show us we must follow his way.  It can be mathematically proven that God's Love is the only stable way to live every other system will self destruct.

The basic idea is that Love and Fear cannot coexist.  We can see that Fear creates division if it is not faced.  But Christ's single command was  to Love your fellow man as He loved us, and the fact that He died for us,  gives so simple a model that coud not be easier to follow.  But if you recall even the Apostles did not have the Love Christ was speaking of as they feared.  Fear cannot coexist with Love.  But we need to have faith and process our every action through a filter that we would die for that person.  Would we do half the petty things we do if we felt as though we were about to die for the the other person?

Love is to Give (as God defined in John 3:16), Trust, Understand, and Serve (as Christ shows in John 13:13-15 by washing their feet).

But often it is easier to understand something by knowing what it is not. Love is not:

• Judging
• Controlling
• Fearful
• Manipulative
• Selfish
• Evil 

Love is really a characteristic of a being truly open minded, having little self interest, giving everything you got.  When you give you receive.

Parable of the Potter

Jeremiah 18

Parable of the Potter

18 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: ² “Go down at once to the potter’s house; there I will reveal My words to you.” ³ So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, working away at the wheel.^[a] 4 But the jar that he was making from the clay became flawed in the potter’s hand, so he made it into another jar, as it seemed right for him to do.

⁵ The word of the Lord came to me: ⁶ “House of Israel, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay?”—this is the Lord’s declaration. “Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, house of Israel. ⁷ At one moment I might announce concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will uproot, tear down, and destroy it. ⁸ However, if that nation I have made an announcement about turns from its evil, I will relent concerning the disaster I had planned to do to it. ⁹ At another time I announce that I will build and plant a nation or a kingdom. ¹⁰ However, if it does what is evil in My sight by not listening to My voice, I will relent concerning the good I had said I would do to it. ¹¹ So now, say to the men of Judah and to the residents of Jerusalem: This is what the Lord says: I am about to bring harm to you and make plans against you. Turn now, each from your evil way, and correct your ways and your deeds. ¹² But they will say, ‘It’s hopeless. We will continue to follow our plans, and each of us will continue to act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”

Deluded Israel

¹³ Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

Ask among the nations,
Who has heard things like these?
Virgin Israel has done a most terrible thing.
¹⁴ Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave the highland crags?
Or does cold water flowing from a distance ever fail?
¹⁵ Yet My people have forgotten Me.
They burn incense to false idols
that make them stumble in their ways
on the ancient roads
and walk on new paths, not the highway.
¹⁶ They have made their land a horror,
a perpetual object of scorn;^[b]
everyone who passes by it will be horrified
and shake his head.
¹⁷ I will scatter them before the enemy like the east wind.
I will show them^[c] My back and not My face
on the day of their calamity.

Plot against Jeremiah

¹⁸ Then certain ones said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or an oracle from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him^[d] and pay no attention to all his words.”

¹⁹ Pay attention to me, Lord.
Hear what my opponents are saying!
²⁰ Should good be repaid with evil?
Yet they have dug a pit for me.
Remember how I stood before You
to speak good on their behalf,
to turn Your anger from them.
²¹ Therefore, hand their children over to famine,
and pour the sword’s power on them.
Let their wives become childless and widowed,
their husbands slain by deadly disease,^[e]
their young men struck down by the sword in battle.
²² Let a cry be heard from their houses
when You suddenly bring raiders against them,
for they have dug a pit to capture me
and have hidden snares for my feet.
²³ But You, Lord, know
all their deadly plots against me.
Do not wipe out their guilt;
do not blot out their sin before You.
Let them be forced to stumble before You;
deal with them in the time of Your anger.

Hidden in Plain Sight

Human Perception of The World is Not Always as Complete

The human mind is an amazing gift from God. He has been trying to tell us how to use it to live a happy and fulfilled life forever.  But we ignored Him.  He next sent His Son to provide a grand Gesture to get our attention.  But as it seems even that failed as no one seems to fully undertand Christ's message as it was so simple we appear to have overlooked it.  There are sophisticated theories that explain these things.  But most of us quantum theory is beyond our grasp.  What this article attempts to do is show the power of our mental structure, so that we can achieve a more open state of mind.

There are things in the Bible that, we ininterpret because of the way we have always viewed them.   Our perception is trained by our experience or preconceived notions, our goals, and any other bias that exists in our makeup.  Watch the video above and pay careful attention.  This should open your eyes to an amazing result.  That the mind tends to ignore the things it is not looking for.

Another piece of the puzzle is the concept of open mindedness.  The mind works within boundaries that are given to it through training over your life. The rules that apply to any given situation are a function of the past as well as the curent situation.
The training heard all your life is hard to set aside.  But we must if we are to grow.

The eye test on the left measures how your brain processes information.  Look to the bottom for your answer interpretation. This test should give you a concrete exhibit of being constrained in our thinking.  The state of an open mind is relayed to creativity.

Creativity is simply the product of an open and prepared mind. The key is being open, truly open, without boundaries. I found that too much creativity scares most, because humans find security in structure. Creativity opposes structure, it's goal is to challenge the existing structure and define a new paradigm.  I propose to you that there may be in the Bible some things that are hidden in plain sight.  So cleverly done that we have overlooked them for centuries.
