sounding new agey or gnostic...

I don't even know what all that means. I hear it...and there seems to be some negative connotation associated with it, but it's never been within the realm of things I feel needs "judgement". I never opened my ears or mind enough to let someone "preach on me" enough for it to be something bad I guess...

I say that particularly because:

And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. Luke 22

THIS is the definition of "new age"...leaving the house of the fish Pisces and entering the house of the man carrying the pitcher of water. I don't have ANY IDEA what is considered "new age" or "old age"...I certainly don't judge anyone because they happen to "try on" a particular idea as they try to figure out who they are and where they are in the universe...

Anyway...Interesting video. What stood out to me more than anything else was, "As above so below" in regards to the "Council" etc. I had not heard of this before. It's certainly interesting.

Personally, I got to a point where I no longer cared to learn who begat who and split hairs on bible translations and things of that sort. It didn't feed my soul that longed to be in communion with God right now. Not rewarded after I die if I'm a good boy...no...right now. "Put up or shut up" essentially calling all bluffs. Getting too deep into the bible stuff was of the mind, not spirit - and it seemed to result in people arguing and fighting more than as a wellspring of peace so...I just got off it. I outgrow things...

If the "kingdom of heaven is within you" - then it should be accessible right now...and it is...but this is where the camel and the needle come into play. Few will surrender their endless thought long enough to become still....long enough to become absolutely silent...and that is where ALL concerns/quests/doubts are "burned up in the fire" and no longer even matter...because you, in the presence of God - quite honestly don't give a shit about ANYTHING terrestrial, where you came from or where you're going...It doesn't matter...AT ALL - becaues you are completely fulfilled. You see through the eyes of the the Christ and for the first time understand what it REALLY means to love your neighbor as yourself. Otherwise this is essentially meaningless.

What you are looking for, is where you are looking from.

Yes - words are shit...they cannot express much...certainly NOT the experience of communion with God. Not even close. You can't even tell people how to get there...it's purely experiential...and then pile all kinds of beliefs about the debble gonna get you if you try or that's "new age" or old age or whatever label prevents them from looking....and they'll NEVER experience it...and here we are. Endless denominations of Christianity, endless interpretations of this and that and just fuck off - about face - walk towards the SILENCE - rewind everything to the day you were born and listen to NO ONE in any regard as it comes to your eternal spirit/soul. Now what? Start there...Put all judgement and right/wrong right in the toilet where it belongs and start over...from the beginning. You either trust yourself or you don't.
