A study of the Nature of God
A study in the Nature of God, man and the universe---revealing the true and exposing the False.
This message is not a theological or psychological address to explain God and man; this study is rather a form of Holy bait to entice you into a clearer picture as to what God IS! Please, be still and listen without preconceived mental projections, for all what we have known to be God is not God. So let us start by preparing our minds to listen to the inner teacher, the anointing which will lead you into all truth. Cogitate, be still and know that God made man in His own image and likeness, without any woman, without any wife, without any help from any one. You may be assured that if you abide with this subject long enough, it will be revealed to you how consciousness expresses It Self, forms It-Self, manifests It-Self as the pure spiritual birth. The only begotten offspring is immaculately conceived, God manifesting It--Self, expressing Its--Self as qualities of Life, consciousness revealing It-Self as form we know as man.
Eccles. 7:29 (MsgB)
Yet I did spot one ray of light in this murk: God made men and women true and upright; we're the ones who've made a mess of things.In this message you can feel the reality of how God brought forth trees without having to plant seeds, crops without planting. God brought forth light, without the necessity the need for a physical sun or moon. Light means giving understanding to what man is and how creation came into being. This Light of Life is the Light that lights every man and woman that enters this world.
John 1:1-5 (MsgB) The Word was first, the Word present to God, God present to the Word. The Word was God, in readiness for God from day one. Everything was created through him; nothing—not one thing!— came into being without him. What came into existence was Life, and the Life was Light to live by. The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn't put it out.
Now you can see the mystery of pure Creation, it is pure unadulterated Spiritual Creation. This living Light is the immaculate conception of man and the universe. God as the infinite Life force is expressing Him—Self individually without any material forms or processes of mind systems we so often see in religion. However, when you come to the second chapter of Genesis you will see not only how man creates a realm of opposites as he now is afraid and in fear he forgets what he is in God, the Word made Flesh.
Eccles. 7:29 (KJV) Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Because of the conscience, Adam develops an illegitimate sense of life which we now know as a sense of separation from the Life which he truly is. In this carnal or fleshly sense of being you will see how he mis-creates and begins to think up many inventions out of which all evil arose. Adam (Law sense ) because of his erroneous feelings of Life does it all over again and again, he lifts himself up as a false identity. Do you hear?
Isaiah 14:10-17 (KJV) All they shall speak and say unto thee (Adam), Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? [11] Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. [12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! [13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: [14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [15] Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. [16] They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; [17] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
Because of guilt and fear he weakened the nations. His carnal mind reasons and formes itself out of the dust of the ground, now known as the natural or flesh man and by feeling lonely this carnal sense man forms a woman out of its own ribcage. This is what caused so much bondage and untold misery to come to the woman as she believes she comes out of man's body. So you see the bondage in Islam, how the woman is to subservient to the male. Something is wrong here, what do you think, do you think that God creates twice? Does God make mistakes? Do you think that God has some kind of re—demptive plan to correct his own mistakes after He said that what He begotten of Him—Self was wonderful and complete?
1 Cor. 1:25-31 (KJV) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. [26] For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: [27] But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; [28] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: [29] That no flesh should glory in his presence. [30] But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: [31] That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.?
Now for pro-creation, instead of knowing that all things are already finished and complete, this Adam mind set of good and evil brings man and woman together to create the next generation out of sperm and egg. You can’t imagine really that the infinite intelligence of this universe having to have two tries at creating. What do you feel right now, you who still try to find out what truth is through studying the letter of the Scriptures, ever learning the meaning of words but never coming to the knowledge of the truth of Being One in this only begotten of the Father. Are you still trying to find out what man is with your religious mind? Are you still trying to reason out what God is through endless writings and lessons on this subject? Can we ever know the truth by reason or the thoughts and feelings of human mind who always lives either in the past or in the future? No you can’t?
John 1:9-14 (KJV) That was the true Light, which lights every man that cometh into the world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Now this man we now have is a man of earth. This phantom is the natural man, the mind of flesh, who is not under the law of Gen1 where under this law of absolute Life all things work together for the good and God saw that it was wonderful and entered into His rest.
In contrast to the true Self of God expressed as Man, This man of Gen2 is not a man at all. This mind formed man is a mythical form of the five physical senses, this separate self exalted itself as a creation of the human mind, it has no substance, no reality, it is the Phantom, the body of Sin which Jesus as the last Adam came to destroy. This realm of darkness is but a sense fear and uncertainty. This false sense of life no longer knows his own true identity which is Christ and is now overshadowed by a veil of darkness. Let me now show you just how it creates its own destiny and how the product of its creation is expressed in all forms of calamity. Let me show you how this phantom man of the earth made God in his own image, as a god of good and evil.
1 Cor. 1:25-31 (KJV) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. [26] For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: [27] But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; [28] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: [29] That no flesh should glory in his presence. [30] But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: [31] That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Remember, the God of religion is a man made image without any reality. Before man became aware of nakedness there was not yet a separate God from him, for all what God is, is man as the expression of It.
Can you close your eyes for a moment as you meditate on this lesson?
Now take the word 'GOD' in your mind.
Do you believe that this is mind form you entertain is 'GOD'? Do you not see that this is knowledge is but a projection of your own mind, and is not God?
John 1:9-14 (KJV) That was the true Light, which lights every man that cometh into the world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Has this concept of God you have in your mind any power to heal or save or provide? Is there really a presence there to help you in a time of need or is this god just a mind set, a self created image of sense thought?
Do you hear, you who are still searching for reality?
Let us take this a little further. Let us now decide and know: “What is God?” Now in your thought comes an answer and we have a conviction as to what what we think the nature of God is! The answer we have is also a mind set and is not true. Remember, any thing we can form in the thought of religious conviction is not God, for we can never know God with our carnal reasoning faculty—it cannot be done. Do you hear this? The answer you get in your mind is also a projection of the five physical senses and is all based on your cultural background. All religion is a projection of what your past parenthesis has been. For instance, there are several concepts floating around as to what the nature of God and man is. It is very confusing if you rely on these mind formed doctrines of man and even in the Kingdom messages we can not find God. One belief is this:” God is a good God and the devil is a bad devil. ”
In this concept there is a constant battle going on between those two deities, good fighting evil and most of the time evil seems to be winning. The other concept is that there is no opposite power called devil to Gods Will. This devil is taken out of the realm of opposites and we placed this adversary in God—head and call it a tool of God to be used to bring correction to Its offspring. This is ignorance gone to seed and because we cannot explain where evil otherwise comes from, we place Satan as being part of God, an instrument to correct and bring trial to teach us. But before we get to far into total darkness let us go back to finding out what God truly is first. Then after we know what God and His Nature truly is, the understanding of what evil is will also become clearer. If you have been an orthodox Christian or Hebrew background, you probably think about God and see in your mind set- Jesus Christ- right? If you are a Jew-you see God to be an old gentleman in the sky with a long beard, dealing with His creation by law, rewarding, smiting, giving and taking, blessing and cursing. Do you hear?
If you are Meta-Physical, you probably think of God as Mind or Law. If you have studied my writings thoroughly you will have found that in Dutch or German there is no such thing as Mind.
The Mind of Christ in German or Dutch means a feeling of One—ness, having a sense of belonging to a family or body that is original as seen in Gen1.
In other words, mind means; 'let this feeling of what Jesus felt as being One in the Father be in you, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made him—self as the last Adam of no reputation and became obedient even to the death of the Cross'.
Do you understand what I am saying? We must let this feeling of One—ness be in us also and remember who we are in God, it is wonderful, can you say Amen!
Regardless of what comes to your thought, when the question is presented: “Who are you, what is God?” Can you not see that regardless of what came to you in the form of experience that you created it through what is known as the imaging faculty? Originally the image you now have of yourself was formed first by your mother and father, then perhaps by your Sunday school teacher or minister of religion. This was a picture projected into your thought by some authority, it is very subtle and misleading.
1 John 5:18-21 (KJV)
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. [19] And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. [20] And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. [21] Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
1 John 5:20-21 (MsgB) And we know that the Son of God came so we could recognize and understand the truth of God—what a gift!—and we are living in the Truth itself, in God's Son, Jesus Christ. This Jesus is both True God and Real Life. [21] Dear children, be on guard against all clever facsimiles.
Just remember, the truest words ever spoken are these in reference to God. 'If you can name it or think about it, it is not God.'
How can you get an infinite God embodied in your thought processes? How could you ever get an infinite spiritual God in the limitations of any thing that you can think? So regardless what thoughts you have about God, you made it by your own imaging faculty and they are all idols of the mind, they are all facsimiles. Do you hear me? Be assured of this, what you can conjure up in your mind is not God, never mind how profound it may be. And remember, there are many concepts floating around which explain to us their particular God concepts. Here is a dialogue I had with a teacher of a God concept known as: ULTIMATE RE-CONCILIATION.
An answer to an email send to me. “Brother, how did you acquire your particular concepts of God and His plan for Creation. I like to hear you on this matter, especially the doctrine of ultimate re-conciliation. What do you know about God and what do you think His Plan is for us all? Is this conviction you present in your writings not just another mind formed concept, and is this not a doctrine formed by carnal reason? Remember, regardless of what that concept may be in your mind, they are all formed as beliefs, derived from the sense of alienation from the life of the true God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and are therefore not God inspired. The doctrine of ultimate re-conciliation has a moral background to it, dictated to us through the conscience.
There is nothing that you and I know about GOD is GOD, nor can the human reasoning mind faculty arrive at Truth through discussion. There is no idea of God that we can entertain in our minds that is God and in this we cannot know Grace nor do we find Truth. There is no possible thought that you and I can have about God that is God, nor do we in our humanity know His Will.
It makes no difference what our idea may be or what our concept may be in our religious conviction, it is still but an idea or a concept, and an idea or a concept is not God. And so every Christian must eventually realize that he or she has to rise above all his concepts of God before he or she can have an experience of God, a feeling of total satisfaction.
PS17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
The King James Version, ( Cambridge : Cambridge ) 1769.
Regardless then of the concept of God we believe in our heart to be true, including the feelings we entertain in our minds, whether Hebrew, Protestant, Catholic, or Oriental, it has done very little for the world. Religion as it is known has no benefit for our own individual lives. This world is in a sad plight, and every known concept of God has failed to bring peace on earth, not only collectively, but also individually. Religion is a dead and futile system of the carnal mind and it is a grave mistake to base our trust in these doctrines. The world is in a state of unrest because of fear. There is aggression on the part of Islam and retaliation by so called democratic Christianity. At this moment, because of the mind set they entertain of God, and Islam like for instance as USA Christianity, which are also but concepts of their particular God created a lot of conflict, consequently the aggression toward the USA , as they believe it to be the great Satan... The threat to world peace arises out of false God beliefs and both sides worship the facsimiles of the mind.
I can now see that the doctrine of ultimate re--conciliation is also just an other mind set, it is just an other religious concept of reason that has no light of life in it. This is not true in the Light of what Jesus taught us. The situation in these religious areas of beliefs would not of itself be too upsetting to anyone, except for the fact that very few Christian or Islamic persons have within themselves the witness of Grace and Truth as given to us in Christ Jesus.
Jesus taught Love, not retaliation.
Rev. 12:10-11 (KJV) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Jesus taught us to be forgiving all who oppose us and terrorize us, even if attacked as in 9/11 we must not retaliate. If adhered the principle of non—resistance, the Lamb of God makes us independent and impervious to world conditions such as disease, lack and eventually terrorism and death itself will be overcome. Remember death is also an illusion of the Gen2 doctrine. Death is also a delusion of the carnal mind of man. Jesus did not teach ultimate re—conciliation where it is believed that even the Satan and its demon hordes are ordained of God and eventually all shall be reconciled. Satan and evil are not tools through which God uses to test mankind. It is not true that all things good and evil alike come out of God and like a mad dog on a leash God in the form of Satan tests and tries man with evil in order to perfect him. These things are not true, they are all imaginations of the carnal mind.
We can have the witness of total freedom only if we get to know the true God and Father of Jesus Christ---- in us and as us. The true God sense is --the principle of non--resistance, it is the Lamb of God which is the anti--dote to all evil or good for that matter, for both good and evil in what ever form they come are a product of the hypnotic belief in 2 powers.
Good and evil are not attributes of God’s Divine Will. All evil and good in this respect is all but illusion, they are a deluded mind set of opposites that believes such error, trying to come to some reasonable answer to world problems, trying to solve the age old question:” Where did evil come from, if God is the only Power?
In the doctrine of ultimate reconciliation, Satan is just a tool in Gods ultimate plan, which is really blinding the Christian to see the true Nature of God in which there is no opposites. Love is the only substance and sustaining power in which there are no opposite activities. Love is God’s UN--foldment in us as His will. Love is inherent in all. Love is in all. Love is wonderful and it comes to us in silent re--cognition as the only power letting His Grace fall on the just and the unjust without respect of person. It is our Father who is bringing back to our remembrance everything what we have forgotten since we descended in Adam's fear. The whole of this world has this sense of death; and it is perfect Love that casts out all fear, for fear has torment. We all have inherited this sense of separation from the Life of God through the blindness of Adam's carnality.
For if by one mans {by one mans...: or, by one offence} offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence {by one offence} of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all who can receive Him.
The ultimate re--conciliation doctrine has the conviction that God has everything under control, so ultimately evil is His Will, to perfect His offspring. Wrong, wrong! Sin and death came by man, not by God! It was Adam who weakened the nations and refuses the open the prison house. This is false doctrine, formed by the UN----conscious mind of flesh, the myth of birth and death, a delusion of the carnal mind!
No beloved friends, instead of passively submitting to these erroneous doctrines of no choice, we must let--this Mind be in us, which was also in Christ Jesus, --a--mind which feels a receptivity to Love as it submits to the Father of all, worshiping in true re--cognition. We are His own Self expressed in the earth, not ultimately as some believe. Now are we the Son of God, not ultimately.
1 John 3:1-3 (KJV) Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. [2] Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Adam is dead and gone, Adam is not being re-conciled, Adam is the myth of materiality and this death realm of good and evil was not God ordained. Do you understand this?
Think on this? Gen2&3 is a mist---creation--it is a realm of good and evil—it is the serpent sense of fear, which holds the whole creation in futility. God has not lowered man into this realm of fear and futility, man in his sense of an independent sense of self—ego did. Do you hear me?
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. This was the completed Logos,-----His perfect Will and it was sooooooooo Good! Let the redeemed say: "It is soooooooo good, it is done, finished and complete".
But there went up a mist from the earth, speaking about the reasoning faculty of the material mind and it watered the whole face of the ground, and a carnal idea formed of a different will was energized. It was the Law God, the mind formed god of good and evil a product of the five senses This was a thought that had an other go at creation after God already finished it. Do you see something in this? Don't reject this without giving it due prayer. Can you not see that Gen 2 is but a lowered sense of reality and that this is the mind of good and evil in mythological format? And the Lord God (The Law of as you think) formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Do you still believe that woman is a second hand rib taken out of man? If you still believe that God is forming a man out of dust- you still believe this male and female thing of Gen2. Can you not see that if you still believe that male and female is part of the offspring of God then all these mind formed doctrines have put the woman under submission to be a slave to the male, as you see it vividly in Islam where woman is veiled by the serpent of Gen2?
I rather look at John 1-where the Logos is without generations-without male or female it is without birth or death, it is the UN--conditioned consciousness of Christ Jesus, appearing again in us as form, the hope of glory.
John 1--IS THE TRUE GENESIS!
The dust man Adam said: "I am afraid" who told you that? Notice, God did not create fear: (F.E.A.R) False- Evidence-Appearing as Real.
God the true ‘I AM’ is the CHRIST who hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. In the mind of Christ (not Jesus before his death but after) in which we all are in conscious union, providing we have been re--generated back to the original God--Self, the 'I AM' of all living.
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he gathered together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven{a heaven: Gr. the heavens}, and which are on earth; even in him.
Religion sees this Scriptural passage as a progressive order of things. It is believed that eventually we are all gathered into this realm, or eventually all shall be conformed to the image of His Son. All these beliefs are elements of falsehood, which has blinded the mind of those who believe not in the completed work of Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Corint-Chapter 4
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty{Gr. shame}, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every mans conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world (the god of opposites, of good and evil) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
As to what you wrote next--I have not yet found common ground, so I will leave this alone for a while until I can at least see the whole picture as to what you are saying. Here a few points:
- 1. I believe that God stands aloof from evil. God’s eyes cannot see or know any thing of what man knows or sees as evil or good for that matter. His eyes are to Holy to see or know iniquity or anything else opposite to absolute Love.
- 2. I do not believe that God created evil as a contra--will or anti--Logos to Him-Self in order to bring about re--conciliation- I cannot accept this.
- 3. I do not accept the quote below that God subjected all creation to the vanity of the carnal mind. All these concepts are coming from the tree of knowledge and will lead man into outer darkness.
- You said and I quote: ” Paradoxically, God buries Himself and us in Him, in the soil of contradiction, and as a seed draws from the soil in order to sprout and bring forth its fruit, so God draws from elements contradictory to all that He is that by which He causes Himself to fulfill His divine potential. He makes the contradictory to serve that purpose by presenting Himself.
With that which He must overcome, and in that challenge He reaches down, as it were, into His own depths in order to prevail. He has not, and does not do that alone. In Him, we have been subjected to all to which He subjects Himself. If it's been your understanding that God stood aloof from the futility to which He subjected all creation, you are wrong Tony. He did it by subjecting Himself and thus the creation which is in Him to bring out His own potential. Unquote:
We can now see from the above belief in a God that has identified with evil as some form of reality as being part of God's nature is what I see as error. God in His pure Consciousness did not ordain evil or error in any form and regardless of what ever God concept we have in our ignorance of truth. What we experienced as fear in Adam is made in our own image and likeness. Fear is but a projected image of human reason. I do not believe that God subjected us to futility as futility is an invention of man, not of God.
Psalm 99:8 (KJV)
Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
Psalm 106:29 (KJV)
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
Psalm 106:39 (KJV)
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
Proverbs 8:12 (KJV)
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Eccles. 7:29 (KJV)
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
However, it was because of Adam lowering us into vanity by his fear that our merciful Father lowered Him--Self in the form of Jesus, destroying the error of a separate self from the life of God and in dying as the last mistaken I--dentity, redeemed us from the curse of this Law god. That is what I feel is the Truth of God's Nature. I do not believe what is presented to us in ultimate reconciliation is the truth. Reconciliation was complete when Jesus said is is finished and regardless of the appearance of evil that sometimes works in our human emotions, I am the complete reconciled offspring of the living God.
2 Cor. 5:14-19 (KJV)
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: [15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. [16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Ephes. 4:8-10 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. [9] (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? [10] He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
This law concept of a God who knows and is even the author of evil for some reason is but a facsimile, an idol of reason. In other words, this concept of God dealing with mankind does not exist in God. The mere fact that you can embrace it in your thought, proves its error, this cannot be God. Do you hear? Who by thinking can know, name or visualize God or know God’s Mind? So you see beloved, the most important subject in all of our life is this;
We cannot have God as a concept, for then we have but a man created image of God.
This is but an idea out of which have come all the religious persuasions we see in the world today. Some of them are pretty fanatic as we see it in terrorism and its counter offence in the form of democracy as we see it in the evangelical idea of Christianity today. This then accounts for the fact that the harder you pray to this God of good and evil, which god you have formed in your mind in the first place, the more barren you will become and the more we get terror coming to our dwelling place. The more you rely on this god to protect or save you when you need help the more you will find out that this god is powerless and deaf to what you pray to it, the sooner you will collapse. You see my beloved, you don’t have God, you only have an idol of the mind. In our ignorance as to what God is we only have an image in thought that we pray too and that cannot help us. Now let us come a little closer. “Who or what am I, what is my nature and name and how do I fit in the whole scheme of things”
Who is Tony den Hartog? Do I know my—self as God our Father knows me or do I just have another mind formed concept as to who and what I am formed by my past teachings? It is no use answering this question because your answer cannot be correct. I can prove this to you by having my wife answer this and then ask a couple of other people who don’t like me answer this and you will see that none are the same. Now see if we can to some agreement as to whom and what I am and you will find out that you cannot do this. So you in this search for my true identity you will find that regardless of what form of opinion you come to, you are merely projecting your own cultural myth that you have learned in this parenthesis. This myth is something working in you as a false sense of "I"----dentity with the UN—conscious past. Do you hear this? Now you can discover by feeling the essence of this message that in the next five minutes you do no longer know me 'Tony' as a human, but in silence you recognize Christ as my true Self! You do not even know who and what you are in truth if we continue in the tree of genealogy, thinking we are born of a woman. So keep on listening to the Father in silence. Open your heart to hearing the within of your own being. Christ is the substance and nature of all life, which we do not yet know as the true “I” the only true Self, if we continue to live in the myth of a separate selfhood from the living Presence. For many years we have entertained beliefs and concepts of life which are constantly changing as time goes by, so we know that this is not our true self as Christ which is our true life, for Christ our true Self never changes.
Col. 3:1-4 (KJV) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Our human feeling of life is transitionary and is very misleading, so we all must be lifted into the realm and atmosphere of the New Heaven, where we shall know our Self the way we are known of God. Remember, our humanity gives us a strong sense of personal sense life in which we try to hold on to our ego as long as we can. This is because we think this to be our true Identity. But it is not. The ego controls us and we are trying to promote it as our true self. So let us go on to die to our false Identity, for in Adam all die, but in Christ all shall be made alive. What ever your thought is about me or yourself is your own prejudice. Because it is but our own concepts or what someone else has told us what you are that it confuses us. The ego is not what God ordained in the beginning, it is all the flesh, do you hear? All these beliefs are subject to change. In an instant the mood or feeling about one’s self changes and our behaviour turns ugly. The very one’s that said to Jesus:” 'O' Lord, Lord where shall we go from you, you have the Words of eternal Life”, are the very one’s who ran away while Jesus was being crucified. In other words, it was because of their own traditional Hebrew upbringing that they did not know who Jesus was in His True Identity as the Son of God. They all cried:” Crucify Him”
Only Peter recognized Jesus as He saw the real Son of God and said: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God”. Jesus answered and said unto him; “Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Jesus said to His persecutors; “For which of these things do you crucify or stone Me? Is it because I healed your sick, or perhaps because I said: ”Before Abraham was ‘I AM’?”
Do you know Jesus the Christ as the substance of your own Life? Do you know that Christ, not Adam is your true Image, begotten of the Father?
Meditate on this for a minute.
Now in silence you will see Light dawning in your awareness, now you will get to know yourself the way Peter saw Jesus, you are the Christ of God in true re—cognition, it is wonderful!
So you see the average Christian has not yet known or seen the true Self of God. Because of the veil of ignorance the inner Christ of all living cannot be experienced. By seeing he Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, the Will of the Father is done. Now there is an awakening and all shall eventually see it face to face.
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. Ps.15.
Christianity as a whole has an image in thought as to what God IS. As we have discussed before they are all facsimiles, idols of the un—conscious. This is the flesh and blood realm of Gen 2&3. In other words, all human thought is the dust realm of the ego, it has no ordination and was not God’s idea at all!
Isaiah 55:8-13 (KJV)
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. [10] For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: [11] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. [12] For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. [13] Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Yes, they all saw Jesus as Savior—as the man. But Jesus took the wind out of their sails by saying: “Why do you call me good, only God which is the Father or Christ of all who is in me, that is doing the healing and the saving. I of myself as a Hebrew born man of a woman can do nothing for you. Do you hear?
As long as we know Jesus or for that matter each other after our physical birth and have a mental concept of life we are in error and we will die in our mis—taken I—dentity. If you would know me the way I am known, you would also have to discard everything what you now believe about me as a man. What you can know with your senses is not what I am. You must abandon every thing you have been taught and heard in your upbringing as a human. In Christ you must also let go of everyone’s opinion and begin to listen to what you will hear from within. You must get rid of all knowledge as to what you think the nature of things are which includes your feelings and knowledge you have of your parents, for God our Father is the only parent. God, children and everything else that is derived from the five sense gates is error, including your family tree. All this is but a delusion of carnal mind values which has led man into total alienation from his or her true Self. Let us therefore clear out our vessels of all these facsimiles. Remember the words of Jesus; “you cannot fill a vessel already full with erroneous religious beliefs”.
You own thoughts will deceive you to believe that you are a material child, formed in your mother’s womb and that is a strong emotional attachment that must be cast down.
Meditation.
Sit down, relax, be still, incline your ear and say; “Speak Lord, reveal your –Self to Me, let me know who and what you are. Show me who I am in relation to you my Father, who has begotten me in Spirit and Truth. Lead me out of the darkness of human judgments for they have bound me to three score and ten years. Show your—Self to me, let me drink of the rivers of Life that are already inherent within me, show me how to connect to your Life stream.”
In your meditation you have to learn to shut out every opinion you have ever heard, casting down every high image that exalts it self in your mind set to be true, because all we know is but a lie in the first place. Do you hear? These inner convictions for a long time have pleased your human sense of life. These mind form concepts of life has given you a form of security, thinking that this was OK! But they are not, do you hear?
Don’t forget, what pleases you in your beliefs yesterday may not please somebody else and they will react violently to what you say, or think. If you could erase from your thought everything that you know about Tony, read about me, every thing else what you yourself have formed about me and you now must be willing to get to know me the way I am known of God. Will you do this now?
Show me this man, what is his name, what is his nature?.
You will find that by turning within with a listening ear, the truth as to who and what I am will be revealed to you. Many have been healed over the years by just re—cognizing my Gen1-substance which is Christ, the Image of God. But remember, flesh and blood cannot reveal this to you. Only the Spirit of Truth can show you the true nature of God and Man, it is wonderful!
This revelation then is Me being born in you immaculately and if you can see all this way, peace and goodwill to all is the result. You now know Me and all in this light aright, for all are baptized by one spirit into this only begotten of God. Let us go back to God, and you will see in these moments how much you have accepted Me and God as One Being. Don’t forget, God and Man are One in pure re-cognition. There is no other God form. Do you feel this surging through your heart; can you recognize you’re True Self at this moment? Did you know that My Father and you and I are all baptized into One Body which is the fullness of Him which fills all in all? We are One in pure re-cognition. We are not one in our human Identity, for our human Identity is the Phantom man without any nature or substance. In my humanity I am but nothing trying to be something and this cannot be done. We must be dying daily to our previous identity as the flesh man Adam.
Romans 6:5-8 (KJV)
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: [6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin. [8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
In this you will find that all those of your family and friends who you like and have in some way pleased you over the years of your existence here on earth as a human being are now seen in a new light. However, when you have been born again of the incorruptible Word of God and your whole being has been purged of the old fashion of expression in which the ego self was predominant, your friends and family may not like you any more. All of which is sufficient to show to us that we are accepting each other not as we truly are. But usually by the concept we entertain about each other which concepts are formed by whether or not we have pleased or displeased you we get estranged. You know how that is in politics and religions today. This prime minister or president is a hero one year and a villain or devil next year. These feelings are all based on behaviour and presentations of what he thinks is good for the community. These judgments are depending on where you went for your information.
Could we be heroes and devils at the same time? No! These observations are not truth about the mans individuality. These are mind formed concepts of man which we have derived from the 5 senses. In other words, these concept of life have been generated out of the tree of knowledge, causing untold conflict. These are not the Tree of Life where only harmony is known. Now some of you who are just beginning to hear this revelation may not believe this principle of total harmony. Those of you who are still in orthodox religious thinking cannot yet feel this to be right or true, but if you are willing to stay with it long enough you will eventually hear the Word thunder in your heart and all the earth of human thought taking will dissolve.
It will be wonderful when this happens to all those who identify as Kingdom teachers and preachers and as much is given, much is also required. As the Scripture tells us; “All the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of His Glory as the waters cover the sea”
The Church as we know it today still lives and worships a God created by the thoughts they entertain, resulting in un-certainty as to who they are and most of all they don’t know the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ as yet, so a lot has to be learned before peace will come to this planet earth.
Instead of listening to all the religious rhetoric what is preached from the pulpit and the voices of the flesh, they must now go into the silence of meditation where the Voice of the Ascended Jesus is heard and freedom from fear comes instantly. By listing to the inner Voice of the ‘I AM’, we create an atmosphere where nothing can enter in that defiles or make a lie.
There shall be no hurt or death in all my Holy Mountain .
It is wonderful, can you say amen?
You can therefore not know truth by and through the human mind. All human thoughts are sense impressions, void of power. These impressions of the carnal mind are dead to the guiding principle of Christ.
Romans 6:5-8 (KJV) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: [6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin. [8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
These thoughts walk in the shadow of death without a Sheppard, there is no life in them. It is sad, but it is true never the less. The natural man is not under the Law of God neither can he be, that is why we all must be born again to be able to hear and follow Jesus in the new generation. So when you look at man or woman you gain a lot of sense impressions and our divorce courts testify how badly fooled we can all be by these sense impressions. They make us so marvellously happy today with our partner and so miserably sad the next day. Now the world what you see hear taste or touch and smell is the world that Jesus overcame and exposed as false. What Jesus overcame was not really a world, it is a world of sense impressions, it is a world that senses images, formed by what we see, taste, touch and smell.
This world is all but an illusion, a generation of a viper. Can you hear?
John 18:36-37 (KJV) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. [37] Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
And so it is that this second world of Gen2, the world of a man created out of dust and a woman formed out of a mans rib, and children created out of sperm and egg is all but error.
James 1:16-18 (KJV) Do not err, my beloved brethren. [17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. [18] Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
This is not a real world, this is a dream. This world is made out of sense impressions, out of beliefs, theories, passion and concepts of the carnal thought processes of the alienated mind. This world exist in the mind the same way as God exists in the mind as a mental concept, it does not exist as God. Do you hear?
Your prayers will only be answered as you know God aright, for to know God aright is Life Eternal, not before. We must get to know what God IS, we must find out who are we in relation to Him? It is then that healing and provision begins to flow from the throne of Grace and Truth. You can however not know God with your mind, this is impossible, you must be born again first to hear and benefit from God Grace. You will never with your mind draw a picture of God, therefore you cannot communicate God through word, or thought. Communicating or communion in God is only possible through your own developed consciousness. Knowing that your Father and I are One brings healing and deliverance to the captives of sense. Do you hear this?
So what is God then?
Well, God cannot be prayed too, to heal or provide for us, o no! God must realized as our total sufficiency. It is then that “I” will reveal My—Self as I AM you and you are Me, we are One Body, One living Presence in which all fullness dwells. It is wonderful!
Love Tony.
