THE PHENOMENON WITHIN, Part 2

                Everything we see with our physical eyes originates from the infinite seed of God in a metaphysical realm. Consider a branch on a tree. It's origin is from an unseen seed, concealed in the ground. Our physical Universe also comes from a realm concealed from our five senses. Jesus Christ came to reveal this realm and encourage us to seek it first, (Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven....) He knew it was in this realm, all potential and possibilities for mankind resided. He continually encouraged his followers to overcome a life confined to the physical realm, and live from a place of limitless possibility! He came to connect us with the seed of our true being beyond our five senses.

                A wonderful example that gives us a picture of this is a rubber stamp. The stamp is a three dimensional object. When stamped on paper it becomes a reflection of the original. Both are the same image but they exist in different realms. The stamp imprint is a two dimensional reflection of its three dimension original. Our universe is a three dimension reflection and imprint, of the original stamp of our Creator God. Jesus Christ entered this three dimension realm of reflection, to enable us connect to the original stamp within us, or the Kingdom of Heaven!

                The Kingdom of Heaven exists in the 99% realm beyond our five senses. Jesus demonstrated the power of ascending the 1% realm of physical perception, and entering into this higher dimension! He said in the world (physical system of time and space limitation) we would have tribulation, but to get happy because, "I have overcome the world" Such a powerful and insightful statement! He possessed the power within Himself to transcend all the universal laws of time and space, and enter into a dimension of no limitations, and infinite potential! He did this while still incarnate in His physical body. He then called us to do the same! He told us in John 17:16, "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." Your true home is not the perception of your five senses! You are here to overcome those perceptions, just as Christ did before you and enter into your full potential called the Kingdom of Heaven.

                All of creation has been on tip toes waiting for us to fully awaken to this reality, and at this moment in time there is a global awakening, bringing about a tipping point in the consciousness of all humanity! Here is where true world peace lies. When we are illuminated to know we are all one, realizing that the only separation was a sense caused by our limited perceptions, it will be "on earth as it is in heaven." Jesus Christ spoke clearly about the day you and I have entered as the "fullness of time" for this to become reality!

                In the book of Revelation, John gives us a glimpse behind the veil of our mind, which conceals our true identity and destiny. John tells us in Rev. 1:10, "I was in Spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet."The word 'behind" in original Greek means "In, by, or through." John was in Spirit (having an unveiling of his true identity beyond physical senses) hearing the voice from within himself sounding a clear message. We too can hear the message, but only by the Spirit! It is in Verse 11.   "Saying, I Am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last:"

                The I AM within each of us, is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. There has never been another. There has never been a time or space realm between this truth, but imagined in the carnal mind of man. Picture a circle in your mind. At the top of the circle is the One calling itself, I AM, Alpha and Omega. It is exactly the same, no difference! It have always been, and will always be. We all came out from this eternal place of the I AM, or God. We, like John, must have a revelation or unveiling of the I Am within us, a casting down of the evil imagination, before we can fully enter into the Kingdom of Heaven! Jesus Christ came to show us we can enter that dimension now!

                John the Baptist came announcing the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand because for 4,000 years it had not been seen or known. He was saying that now they were about to experience the Kingdom, in and through a man. That man was Jesus Christ and he forever changed the perception of life, who we are, and why we are here! He came to break the sound barrier and all limitations of a mere physical mind and open the way back to the invisible realm of Spirit.

                Before we can truly enter the Kingdom, we must understand our beliefs about God have been in the limited realm of the cosmic mind of good and evil. These beliefs were produced by the minds caught in the imaginings of religion and philosophy. These doctrines, as we have experienced, have no power to save the hearer! To be saved means, to be made whole and we have not seen (and cannot see) the fullness of that occur through these doctrines/imaginings. We still see a religious system full of disease, weakness, and death (being caught up in our imaginings).

                You and I are being called by "the voice within" to let these go and abandon these beliefs about God as false, even though from a human stand point they may seem true. We also must know, that this world we see with our eyes, or this cosmos of physical formation, is not the creation of God. This world we see, taste, hear, and touch with our senses, is the world formed from the imagination of the carnal mind. That mind is hooked on the concepts of good and evil. A mind of duality. A mind separate from the infinite mind of God. Once Adam and woman ate from the tree of good and evil, the formation of the world as we see it began. The Bible clearly tells us that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways and we see that instability though out our physical world!

                John 18:36 "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 Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence." The realm Christ came to reveal was not part of what we call the world. It is neither part of what we have called reality or religious doctrine. He told the Pharisees in Luke 17, His Kingdom does not come with observation. It can not be observed through the five human senses....impossible!

                Albert Einstein, one of the worlds greatest physicists said after a life time of research, "It is impossible to reach the climax of truth through the observation of the material universe." He also discovered what we call matter is but a projection of the carnal mind. A quote of his at the end of his life goes even further by saying, "The three dimensional mind can never reach infinity through thought or religious doctrine." He called the climax of time and space, the Stepping Off Point where we can't reach any further into the mystery of beginning.

                Here is where the Spirit picks up and unveils those mysteries which cannot be understood by the three dimensional mind of man.

                To Be Continued....
