A rebellious nation within.

Isaiah

1:21 – See how a faithful city has become a Harlot! She once was full of JUSTICE; Righteousness used to dwell in her – but now your silver has become dross, your choice wine diluted with water and your rulers are rebel’s companions of thieves: they all love bribes and chase after gifts.  

They do not defend the causes of the obscure; the widow’s case does not come righteously before them. Therefor the lord, the lord almighty, the mighty one declares; Ah I will get relief from my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. 

1:24 – I will turn my hand against; I will thoroughly purge away dross and remove (power behind the vote) impurities. I will your judges as in days of old, your counselors as at the beginning afterword will be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. 

1:27 – Zion will be redeemed with true justice, and her penitent ones with righteousness, but rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the lords community will perish. 

Inner circles will become ashamed because of the sacred Oaks in which they have delighted; they will be disgraced because of the gardens that have been chosen. They will become like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty will become tinder and their work the spark; both will burn together to quench their fire solely based upon sold bag of unworthy goods. 

And the boomer moral of this story is 2:22 – Stop trusting in those, who has but a breath in their nostrils. Of what account are they?

Traveling with God

We have suggested many reasons to grow in consciousness, but one can always ask more radical questions. If one reason is to find meaning, what meanings do we seek? 

• To become conscious toward becoming good thus saving themselves from Evil?
• But why? Why be good?

The more one can become conscious, the more they will grow in power and competence, but to what purpose? 

Too thrust evolution into direction of consciousness where we are evolving toward.

Nothing ever will remove all mystery, but it is believed at least part of the answer to these questions can be found in the Latin derivation of the very word “Conscious,” con-scire which literally means 

• “To Know With” What a strange derivation, to know with, to know with what? 

Best suggestive answer standing steady over time is to know with God. 

Psychological disorders such as narcissistic narcissism have their root in consciousness rather than in one’s unconsciousness. That “NASTY” material is contained in one’s unconscious only because conscious mind “REFUSES TO DEAL WITH IT.”

If one can deal with this unpleasant stuff, then conscious mind offers a garden of delights through which we are connected under community if god. In other words, it is believed that God reveals self to us through the unconscious IF ONE IS WILLING TO BE OPEN TO IT AND BECOME CONSCIOUS OF IT’S WISDOM. 

In “Gifts of the Journey” one of Sister Marilyn’s “WISDOM” songs begins with “WISDOM IS A SPIRT.” 

Its refrain is “And we say”: Ask on you will receive, seek and you will find, Knock and it will be open to you. The lord will give you: His mind will show you the way will make you his light, the lord will actually give us his mind IF WE BECOME CONSCIOUS ENOUGH, and we can actually begin to think with the mind of God. 

The development of consciousness is thus, among other things, A PROCESS OF THE CONSCIOUS MIND OPENING ITSELF TO THE UNCONSCIOUS IN ORDER TO CONGRUENT WITH THE MIND OF GOD.

WHEN WE BECOME AWARE OF A “NEW TRUTH” IT IS BECAUSE WE CONSCIOUSLY “RECOGNIZE” IT TO BE “TRUE”; WE RE-KNOW THAT WHICH WE KNEW ALL ALONG IN CONSCIOUS MIND. 

WE COME TO KNOW THE WISDOM THAT GOD DESIRES TO SHARE WITH US. 

In “THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED,” it suggests that GOD actually speaks to us in a variety of ways, and provides some examples. One is through “Still, Small Voice.” Of this still, small voice another example is offered in “GIFTS OF THE JOURNEY,” where it tells of a woman in what would be considered by today’s standards as Later Years who had traveled Remarkably far on the Spiritual Journey but was still like many of us through no real fault of own Still Deeply Engaged in confronting General Fearfulness and lack of faith 

In leadership which I can whole heartily relate too. 

The book recounts a running experience worth noting as many consistently on a daily basis are pretty much running with their eyes closed which in self is crazy and can become quite awkward unless you’re running righteously in obedience under community serving God which we keep you on the right path of obedience that gains strides even with eyes closed, never running off the path or into trouble. 

Moral of experience demonstrates if within the spirt, the Holy Spirit often speaks to us when we least expect it. BUT VOICE AND THIS IS THE PART TO REMEMBER CAN BE HEARD AND OBEYED ONLY WHEN VOICE FALLS UPON A “SOUL THAT IS OPEN TO IT AND PREPARED TO LISTEN,”

Revelations like a dream can be quite revealing. It may come around a time of life when one may be just beginning to learn the real meaning of what is truly involved surrendering to God. 

Commitment does not always accommodate felt well deserved vacation; rather it discerns importance behind First Retreat as something known offers totally different experience within largest item was to decide what to do if by some dim chance such as should on retire into the wood like J. D. Salinger and get an Unlisted Phone Number? 

Not knowing were to go is the purpose behind the retreat in which many questions can be answered offering clarities within “Don’t know which way one wants to go or which way God wanted one to Go?” Agenda stakes may seem controversially high, but the most Important situational Decision within is in hope that in the quietness of the retreat and the Holiness of the Atmosphere, one might get a Revelation from God about how To Deal with Dilemmas.   

In the Book “FURTHER ALONG THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED,” THE DREAM – ALTHOUGH INITIALLY OBSCURE – WAS TO GIVE ONE A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE.

EVEN IN PASSAGE.

A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MUST READ FROM DISTINCTLY MIDDLE CLASS ONLOOKER TWAINE"D INTO LIFES REALITY OF WHAT AUTOCRATIC CREEPS WE CAN BE. 

In conclusion Army of One psychology that does not recognize God as the Good guy is army of none. 

It interestingly casts god in role of Autocratic, over controlling Villain, or at least army members respond to him as such, with Fury, Outrage and Hatred which become hypocritical when placed in the hot seat by one’s own making and the devil now nowhere to be found?- Interesting.

The problems within Army of One Theologies mainly stem from revelations neither hoped for nor wanted to hear such as expected advice to be heard that one might get from their LAWYER or ACCOUNTANT, which would be free to situational accept or reject as self-needed any given time. 

 Army of one not of the son never wants a “BIG REVELATION, “PARTICULARLY NOT ONE WHICH GOD SAID, “LEAVE THE DRIVING TO ME.”

TRUE ARMY OF ONE CHAMPION REALIZES EARLY ON LIVING UP TO REVELATIONS REQUIRES ABANDONMENT OF THE SELF TO GOD THROUGH LEARNING AND CONTINUAL UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDERS THAT WELCOMES JESUS BEING IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT OF THEIR STILL – ADOLESCENT LIFE IN ALL AFFAIRS AS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISABLE TOWARD LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
