CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN: Taking the Metaphysical Journey From Temptation to Transfiguration’ Pt. II
I – “Then Jesus was drawn from rukha d’koodsha* into an unprocted state for what would be His stress from uprightness.” (Matthew 4:1 – Khaboris Manuscript) *Rukha stands for these three forces and various invisible but material forces such as wind, magnetism, and electricity. As rukha d’koodsha, it represents man’s undetectable and yet tangible force upon the mind of man, a force from God for that divinely intended for man, a fourth force which man cannot contact and as yet cannot fully perceive to exist. The Yonan Codex Foundation

II – “Thereupon Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Breath-effect…into the lonely, desolate and uninhabited region…to be examined, tested, tried, put to the proof, and put through an ordeal under and by the one who thrusts something through folks…by that which was cast through Him.” (Matthew 4:1 – JMNT)
_____________________________________
III – “If you are the Son of GOD…” (Matthew 4:6) “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ― Brene Brown

CREATING YOUR BEST FUTURE: Harmonizing Memory, Imagination, and the Truth that Makes You Free
I – “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.” (Isaiah 43:18 – The Message)
_____________________________
II – “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself as having taken hold of this. But this one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal…” (Philippians 3:13, 14 – Tree of Life)
_____________________________
III – “The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.” -Marcel Pagnol
_____________________________
IV – “We are able to find everything in our memory, which is like a dispensary or chemical laboratory in which chance steers our hand sometimes to a soothing drug and sometimes to a dangerous poison.” -Marcel Proust
_____________________________
V – “Don’t believe everything you think…don’t believe everything you remember…it’s been proven that the majority of your negative thoughts are nothing more than stories shaped by past conditioning, manifested through the state of your current nervous system – well-rehearsed historical accounts, many of them fictionalized, embellished, or mis-remembered, re-told again and again through your internal monologue, until they become well-worn neuropaths winding through the dark forest of your memory…they may feel familiar, and are possibly your go-to, default settings when you feel some kind of way, but they are most definitely NOT objective, irrefutable facts…you may know these thoughts well, and have even possibly become addicted to them because they make you feel like yourself when you’re out of sorts, but just because you’ve been in a long-term relationship with them, it doesn’t mean that they are your friends…yes, thoughts are things, and thoughts are creative (or destructive), but YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS…when a negative or critical thought pops into you head, first investigate to determine if it’s even your thought…if you realize that it’s someone else’s perception which has been projected onto you, don’t be afraid to do some immediate, radical house-cleaning, and think for yourself…from that point, become aware that thoughts manifest physical feelings and sensations in your body – tension in your neck, head and shoulders, or that awful sinking feeling in your chest and stomach – and try to detach the thought from those sensations…when you disconnect the feeling from the thought, the thought begins to lose its power over you…practice relaxation (meditation) techniques to tackle negative physical feelings…with practice, you may find that this has a significant impact on how long the anxiety lasts, and how big it gets…if something really traumatic happened to you that you know for sure actually occurred, and is now affecting your current thought-life, don’t be afraid to face it head on and deal with it…walk right down into the lion’s den and take care of it…but if it’s just negative conditioning from wrong thoughts, that’s an easy fix…you just have to be conscious and do it, and not be afraid the meet the new you that will inevitably emerge when you begin to think different, better thoughts…” #JESmeditations

VI – “Five hundred years ago, Michel de Montaigne said: “My life has been filled with terrible misfortune; most of which never happened.” Now there’s a study that proves it. This study looked into how many of our imagined calamities never materialize. In this study, subjects were asked to write down their worries over an extended period of time and then identify which of their imagined misfortunes did not actually happen. Lo and behold, it turns out that 85 percent of what subjects worried about never happened, and with the 15 percent that did happen, 79 percent of subjects discovered either they could handle the difficulty better than expected, or the difficulty taught them a lesson worth learning. This means that 97 percent of what you worry over is not much more than a fearful mind punishing you with exaggerations and misperceptions.” Huffington Post

‘CHRIST IS ALL: Manifesting the Dream of a Better World’
____________________________
I – “…where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.” (Colossians 3:11 – NKJV)
______________________________
II – “wherein…there is no Greek [figure of the multitudes who are non-Jews, and of those who are cultured and civilized] and Jew [figure of a covenant people of God], circumcision and uncircumcision [figure for religious in-groups and out-groups; there is no longer a covenant people versus non-covenant people], barbarian [foreigner who speaks a different language], Scythian [figure or example of wild, uncivilized groups], slave, freeman, but to the contrary, Christ is all, and within all (or Christ is all humanity, and within all mankind; or Christ is everything or all things, and within everything and all things; [note: the Greek is plural, and is either masculine, signifying “mankind,” or neuter, signifying all creation, in these phrases]).” (Colossians 3:11 – JMNT)
_____________________________
III – “For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.” (Romans 8:22 – NKJV)
_____________________________
IV – “All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it’s not only around us; it’s within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We’re also feeling the birth pangs. These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance. That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don’t see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.” (Romans 8:22-25 – The Message)
______________________________
V – “When you spend time worrying, you’re simply using your imagination to create things you don’t want.” – Shannon L. Alder
_______________________
VI – “Stop promoting the darkness, and embrace the light…use that amazing, creative, Divine Imagination of yours to dream a better world, instead of adding your faith to (and constantly setting yourself in agreement with) bogus, fear-filled conspiracy theories that only add to the confusion and depression around you…instead of foolishly falling victim to nefarious online bots, and being daily duped by computer algorithms which intentionally play on your fear and paranoia and inspire division in the world, decide to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves”, and become a part of the solution instead of just being a part of the problem…you were designed to be a Creator, but you have a daily role in deciding what you’re going to visualize into creation…seeing the potential worst-case-scenario in everything is an exercise in creative visualization – a perversion of the gift you were given by The Creator when He/She/It created you after His/Her/Its own kind…you were wired to speak life…you were destined to speak worlds into existence…you were fashioned to be a dreamer…you were given the ability to prophesy your own future…you have the innate power to “call those things which are not as though they are”, but because both life and death are in the power of the tongue, you can use that ability for good or for evil, for your own salvation, or for your own destruction…Jesus said, “By your words you are justified, and by your words you are condemned”…Job said, “The thing I feared came upon me”… – #JESmeditations
____________________________________
VII – “If you have set yourself in covenant with fear-mongers, conspiracy theorists, gossipers and worry-warts, you may need to examine why you are attracted to people of that ilk…”How can two walk together unless they be in agreement?”…don’t confuse “discernment” with something that is actually much darker…the just shall live by faith…”blessed is the man who does not sit in the seat of the scornful”…don’t let your online activity become your own personal seat of darkness…and don’t let your own imagination become your worst enemy…don’t use your creative gift to worry things into manifestation…let your words work FOR you, and not AGAINST you…Jesus said that the greatest faith He had seen in all of Israel was that which was spoken through a pagan, polytheistic Roman Centurion requesting prayer for the healing of a man with whom he had a non-traditional, non-specific relationship…the Centurion simply said “Your words work for You in the way that my 100 men work for me…they do exactly what I tell them to do…just speak the word only, and my servant will be healed!”..

INTUITION: Developing the Power of the Still, Small Voice
I – “Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a STILL SMALL VOICE. (I Kings 19:11, 12 – NKJV)
_______________________________
II – “…and after the fire [a sound of gentle stillness and] a still, small voice.” (I Kings 19:12 – AMPC)
_______________________________
III – “…After the fire died out, there was nothing but the sound of a calm breeze. And through this breeze a gentle, quiet voice entered into Elijah’s ears…” I Kings 19:12 – The Voice)
_______________________________
VII – “Practice listening to your intuition, your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear; and then act upon what you know to be true. These intuitive powers were given to your soul at birth.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

‘THE UNVEILED CHRIST – Part II’
I – “And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull…Then they crucified Him…And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom…” (Mattew 27:33, 35, 51, 51 – NKJV)
_____________________________
III – “Just watch my servant blossom! Exalted, tall, head and shoulders above the crowd! But he didn’t begin that way. At first everyone was appalled. He didn’t even look human— a ruined face, disfigured past recognition. Nations all over the world will be in awe, taken aback, kings shocked into silence when they see him. For what was unheard of they’ll see with their own eyes, what was unthinkable they’ll have right before them.” (Isaiah 52:13-15 – The Message)
_______________________________
IV – “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.” (Ephesians 2:14-16 – NIV)
________________________________
VII – “Jesus said that the religious ‘shut up heaven from people entering in’—Just as religion does today; preaching that heaven is a far off place one must physically die to enter into—Jesus taught ‘Heaven now’. If we lived out of heaven now, we could transmute things appearing as ‘less than heaven’ into heaven/health/and all things of the kingdom of Father/God, through the heart awareness that heaven and earth are already objectively One.” – Kay Fairchild

I – “From noon to three, the whole earth was dark. Around mid-afternoon Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Some bystanders who heard him said, “He’s calling for Elijah.” One of them ran and got a sponge soaked in sour wine and lifted it on a stick so he could drink. The others joked, “Don’t be in such a hurry. Let’s see if Elijah comes and saves him.” But Jesus, again crying out loudly, breathed his last. At that moment, the Temple curtain was ripped in two, top to bottom. There was an earthquake, and rocks were split in pieces. What’s more, tombs were opened up, and many bodies of believers asleep in their graves were raised. (After Jesus’ resurrection, they left the tombs, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.) The captain of the guard and those with him, when they saw the earthquake and everything else that was happening, were scared to death. They said, “This has to be the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:45-54 – The Message)
______________________________
II – “So why are you now trying to out-god God, loading these new believers down with rules that crushed our ancestors and crushed us, too? Don’t we believe that we are saved because the Master Jesus amazingly and out of sheer generosity moved to save us just as he did those from beyond our nation? So what are we arguing about?” There was dead silence. No one said a word. With the room quiet, Barnabas and Paul reported matter-of-factly on the miracles and wonders God had done among the other nations through their ministry. The silence deepened; you could hear a pin drop. James broke the silence. “Friends, listen. Simeon has told us the story of how God at the very outset made sure that racial outsiders were included. This is in perfect agreement with the words of the prophets: After this, I’m coming back; I’ll rebuild David’s ruined house; I’ll put all the pieces together again; I’ll make it look like new so outsiders who seek will find, so they’ll have a place to come to, All the pagan peoples included in what I’m doing.” God said it and now he’s doing it. It’s no afterthought; he’s always known he would do this.” (Acts 15:10-18 – The Message)
_________________________
III – “In worshipping the moon in the water of the well people forget about the real moon up in the sky. They take the reflection to be the real thing and the well to be the entire sky. And over time as this habit grows stronger through generations by tradition, the very thought of a moon and a sky outside the well strikes like blasphemy.” – Abhijit Naskar
__________________________
IV – “It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.” – Thomas Jefferson
__________________________
V – “wherein there is no Greek [figure of the multitudes who are non-Jews, and of those who are cultured and civilized] and Jew [figure of a covenant people of God], circumcision and uncircumcision [figure for religious in-groups and out-groups; there is no longer a covenant people versus non-covenant people], barbarian [foreigner who speaks a different language], Scythian [figure or example of wild, uncivilized groups], slave, freeman, but to the contrary, Christ [is] all, and within all (or: Christ [is] all humanity, and within all mankind; or: Christ [is] everything or all things, and within everything and all things; [note: the Greek is plural, and is either masculine, signifying “mankind,” or neuter, signifying all creation, in these phrases]).” (Colossians 3:11 – JMMT)
_________________________
VI – “All the old fashions are now obsolete. Words like Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and irreligious, insider and outsider, uncivilized and uncouth, slave and free, mean nothing. From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ.” (Colossians 3:11 – The Message)

___________________________
IV – “You know what is written in the Scriptures. Doesn’t it read, “I said, you are gods”? If the Scriptures called your ancestors (mere mortals) gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scriptures cannot be set aside— what should you call One who is unique, sanctified by and sent from the Father into the world? I have said, “I am God’s Son.” How can you call that blasphemy? (John 10:34-36 – The Voice) ____________________________
V – “If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature.” – Bruce Barton _____________________________
