TRUTH SETS YOU FREE

TRUTH SETS YOU FREE

Below, is a short poem and video I did recently that can open your eyes to who you really are, and help you to realize you can do more, be more, and live for more than ever before.

I have written many articles over the years documenting my many findings within the pages of the world’s holy books. I live my life to try and share this great message with all of you in many different ways. Whether it is daily poetry on my facebook page, critical essays on scripture, videos, radio, or even my novel, I live for one thing and one thing only and that is to make life better for everyone around me by sharing what I know to be true.

John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

It is the TRUTH that sets us free. Everytime we see Jesus laying hands on someone, or healing someone, it is the LIES they believed that they were being set free from.

Scripture is an allegory. Sight is a symbol of understanding, hearing is the same. These are those Jesus “healed”, those that couldn’t see or hear the truth, those that couldn’t stretch their hands to help another, those that couldn’t walk upright in the world, those possesed by devils (LIES).

Devils, demons, these are all tormenting “SPIRITS/THOUGHTS” because they are LIES.

Satan is called the FATHER OF ALL LIES… meaning anything SATAN creates is a LIE. (Check out my article “man’s ego is the devil)… a messenger of SATAN is someone spreading LIES… Because there is NO TRUTH is SATAN (WHICH is also another allegory of man’s ignorant ego).

Jesus called himself “The TRUTH, the LIGHT, the WAY” — Jesus is yet another allegory of all of us in our risen (enlightened) state… Jesus is a symbol of how the TRUTH within man, sets man free from the prison of LIES we have all found ourselves in.

I have done many papers and videos on this topic, “garden of eden revealed”, “who am I”, “Christ’s resurrection now”, etc etc… I have written so many essays over the years it will keep you reading for the next year or so, which is what I hope you do. I hope you find the true revelation of who you are, I hope you find the TRUE MYSTERY that has been hiding within the pages of our holy books.

Because, I have found the truth is hidden within them all, told with slight variations, but the TRUTH is IN everyone of them. Now, since most of audience understands the bible, I use the bible to show these messages of truth that are hidden within the allegories found there.

For example, we know LIGHT is a symbol of Enlightenment, DARK is a symbol of ignorance. Once you understand this basic principle of scripture the truth becomes clear. Jesus clearly told his disciples, “Unto you it is given to know the MYSTERIES of the Kingdom of God”, which means, the things of God are a mystery, and the revelation of this mystery is only revealed from within, because it is given within… The next thing Jesus states is, “…Unto those without this understanding ALL THINGS ARE DONE IN PARABLE.” However, Jesus is not the only quoted as saying these things, the scriptures state, “God opens his mouth in parable, in dark sayings”. The literal (letter) interpretation of these scripture kills (makes us ignorant of the truth/life) yet, the SPIRIT of the PARABLE gives us life. It is the SPIRIT of the story, ANOTHER WORD for that is the MESSAGE of the STORY, or the THOUGHTS that are birthed within you after hearing/reading the story… In fact SPIRIT is THOUGHT. Jesus said, “My words are SPIRIT AND TRUTH”. In this life we will find both TRUTH and LIES! The question is which are swimming around in your head?

This website is filled with hundreds of essays and videos that I have done over the years which reveal the mystery hidden in plain sight. It is my hope these essays will encourage you and help you to find the TRUTH hidden within Eternity! For it is the TRUTH that sets you free from the lies you have believed about the world and yourself.

Please enjoy this short poem then please watch a short video that will encourage you.

“The MESSAGE of ETERNITY”
If you listen to the poetry of scripture you will see eternity.
For in these verses, you’ll find blessings or curses, but it is always the allegory that sets you free.
The letter kills, the thrills, that can be found when reading with eyes that can see.
For example, eyes and ears are symbols of those who understand and perceive the truth of who we are intimately.
The religious, will miss, the miracle of bliss, sets before their eyes.
For it is the spirit that gives life that they ignorantly despise.
The Kingdom,which is the rule of heaven is not a place, that can be erased, but it is the space, within us called righteousness, peace and harmony.
It comes without observation, it isn’t a literal place, that you can point and say, this is how the end will come some day, because all along, this beautiful song, is a throne upon which we create and play along.
It is this space within you and me separated by a great chasm called inability. Separating us from who we really are and who we seem to be. It is the depth, of unending ignorance, it is this hell that keeps us from living free.
It is the trick that has licked us all, causing mankind’s greatest fall, which was eating from the wrong tree for far too long.
When all along it is wisdom, which is the tree of life, which scripture says is more than nice, that is the creator of all.
It is wisdom that we let our souls forget and forced us to always want more.
There was a time, when for no reason or rhyme, we would smile and laugh instead of whine and cry, because we knew the truth that’s been hidden inside.
We knew purpose was the glue that held us together, regardless of whether or not we believed that we could receive whatever dream created with you and me.
There was a time when to fly was nothing more than a high thought placing air beneath our feet.
A time when there was no crime there was only possibility.
This is the story within the story that you need to see.
You are a god trapped in the belief of mortality.
This is why I written the rhyme of hidden eternity!
-Jacob Israel

DRIVE

“DRIVE”

“DRIVE”
What is salvation, the choir sings, what is it that the future will bring?
Will it be gates of pearl, will it be great wisdom making sense of the pain in the world?
Will there be streets of gold, or treasures untold, will life’s mystery unfold before our once uninterested eyes?
When the cold ground settles and dries, and time has forgotten the tears once cried, over the grave that swallowed what you once called life.
What will it be for you and me? Will we finally be free? Or will be wish we had a chance to do it all over again?
Asking for forgiveness from a dear old friend, connecting with a relative before the end, giving to help those living with struggle and pain, forgetting what it means to blame, complain, or to remain in the sad cycle of should of, could of, would of.
Will we wish someone had dished about the secrets to this here thing called life? Wouldn’t that be nice? Waking up in the morning and no longer longing for things to finally go your way, to simply wake up and be excited to say, “This is going to be a most excellent day!”
That sounds like salvation to me, declared the choir director ignorantly while directing the congregation to the wrong tree so when they leave they’ll forget to see what is in front entirely.
The rear view mirror has never been clearer but it’s an illusion that does not exist anymore. This is what mirrors are for, to keep us looking on what is behind until we become so blind we can no longer find the hunger and passion that we’ve convinced ourself to ignore, even though it put us in the driver seat to explore.
Perhaps, when we’ve come to the end, and this sad choir is our only friend, we’ll see we were always free even though we behaved as comatose slaves who prayed for a savior delayed eternally.
It will be then, our hand will extend, to grab hold of the steering wheel of life all over again, loving ourselves, enemies and friends, living for the moment and forgetting the past while still creating memories that last.
Finally in the driver seat driving and having a blast!

THE GENESIS OF YOU

THE GENESIS OF YOU

“Who Am I?” this is a question many ask. The reason people everywhere ask this question is because deep down they know they are more than they have believed themselves to be. Deep down they know they have unlimited potential. Deep down they feel as if there is something very important to learn, deep down they feel like they are missing something. This is why so many people flock to the religious organizations of the world, they are looking for answers. However, the problem is, the answers are only found within.

“Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.” The Gospel of Thomas

This video presents the story of Genesis and the Crucifixion in a way you have never heard. You are more than you know. You have forgotten who you really are. You have forgotten that you have untapped, unlimited potential and that you can create for yourself anything in this world.


Matthew 17:20
Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

The parables in the Bible are stories about you. You birth, your life, your death, and yes, your Resurrection. The bible is truly a book that is inspired, but for many years the words of the bible were nothing more than ink on a page.

The Letter/Literal interpretation of scripture has killed the SPIRT/LIFE of it.


2 Corinthians 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

This TRUTH is a great TREASURE hidden WITHIN you.

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

And now it is time to FIND IT! This video is my way of showing you, there is a GREAT TRUTH hidden within these scriptures, but most importantly, WITHIN YOU!

I hope you enjoy this short video I put together. I sure hope you subscribe to this blog, and share this video with those who would enjoy it. Have the best day ever! Jacob

The End Of Suffering?

The End of Suffering?

When I began this blog years ago I did so because I wanted to find a way to reach more people than I had been able to before. I wanted to share the things I had learned over my many years of study and trial and error. The truth is I love to write and nothing brings me more joy than being able to share this with all of you.

For me, there is no greater gift a person can give me than to take the time to read, watch, listen, share, and comment on something I took the time to write or say. This is the reason I always ask those who enjoy these works to share them with others.

There is a scripture that states, and I am paraphrasing, my word (truth/logic) will not return void but it will accomplish what it was sent into the world to do. I believe we have the power to change our lives for the better by knowing who we truly are and understanding the power of love. My novel, “The Calling” is a story about a boy who was born to change the world by writing a single book. This of course is my hope with everything I do.

It is my desire to bring peace to troubled hearts, healing to broken spirits, and hope to those who only believe in defeat. This is why I am so happy that my wife encouraged me to begin my “Voice In The Dead Woods Radio” show again. This is the reason I am writing to all of you today. I want to make you aware of this weekly program and to ask you to subscribe to it as you have subscribed to this blog. It is completely free and it will inform you of every up coming episode in the future. I also hope that you will share this, as well as this website, http://www.JacobIsrael.com, with others.

So instead of writing an article on today’s topic, “The End Of Suffering” I wanted to share the link to my latest radio broadcast. I believe it will be an encouragement to many of you, or at least, that is my sincere hope. Click on this link below to listen and please do subscribe.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jacob-israel/2013/06/04/the-end-of-suffering

I am always looking for ways to reach out to people whether it is through my essays here, emails to readers, youtube videos, daily posts on facebook, my novel, poetry, and now it is my radio show, which I hope will take what I have learned farther than ever before.

Now many have asked how I make a living doing all of this… well the simple answer is, I don’t make a living doing this, I of course have a day job. However, doing this does indeed bring life to the life I am living.

Sharing what I have learned brings me so much joy and in so doing I always learn more about myself and the things I share. It would be wonderful to simply devote all of my time to doing this alone, but until that day arrives I am grateful for the job I have and the time I find to share.

I also am so very thankful for those people who do reach out to support what I am doing, words cannot express how grateful I am to you. I sure hope that the things I write continue to be a source of encouragement and hope to all of you. The only thing I ask is that you also share what you have found here with those you believe will benefit from it. So thank you for making my world a brighter place, giving me purpose, and bringing joy into my heart by reading, watching, listening, subscribing, commenting, and sharing with others. I love you all and I so look forward to hearing from you all. Please do enjoy the radio show and I hope this “word” continues to accomplish what it is sent into the world to do. Jacob

PAUL’S CONVERSION REVEALED

TRUTH
PAUL’S CONVERSION REVEALED

Apostle Paul once thought he knew it all. He was on his ways, with the full support of the religious elite behind him, to persecute those who claimed to know the truth. The Apostle Paul once thought himself to be a religious leader of religious leaders, skilled in the art of judgment and condemnation. His name was SAUL then. Like another Saul we knew in the Old testament who also was King, this Saul also trusted in his self effort and was ruled by his arrogance, and religious egotistical pride. This is why he could stand by and watch another human being (Stephen) be stoned to death for simply bearing witness of the truth.

Well, as we are well aware, those in darkness hate the light… because it shows them how wicked and wrong they are.

So Saul was on his way, set in his ways, to go KILL the movement of Christ. Then, all of a sudden, a great LIGHT knocked him down a notch or two. In fact, this light totally humbled him. This LIGHT put him face down in the dirt.

AND WHAT WAS THIS LIGHT?

John 3:21
But he that doeth TRUTH has come to the LIGHT. (The Light is the TRUTH)

Once the TRUTH was revealed to the Apostle Paul he realized that LOVE does not PERSECUTE OTHERS. It was then the Apostle Paul was stricken BLIND.

To be Blind is a symbol of not “seeing the TRUTH”… to be blind in scripture means to be ignorant of the TRUTH.

Isaiah 56:10
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant.

So once the TRUTH appeared to Paul he realized he was ignorant of the TRUTH. It was then he was SET STRAIGHT.

Acts 9:11
And the Lord said unto him (Paul), Arise, and go into the street which is called STRAIGHT…

Psalm 5:8
Lead me, O Lord (TRUTH)… make thy way (the truth) STRAIGHT (apparent, easily understood) before my face.

So a Blinded PAUL (ignorant of the TRUTH) began his journey toward that “straight and narrow gate” of WISDOM.

Proverbs 24:7
Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the GATE (way of wisdom).

His EYES (understanding) were covered by SCALES which is why he could not SEE (Understand the TRUTH).

Ephesians 1:18
The EYES of your UNDERSTANDING…

It wasn’t until the SCALES fell from his EYES that he could SEE.

So what is it that COVERS our UNDERSTANDING that keeps us from THE TRUTH?

The answer is our foolish PRIDE. (Thinking we know it all. This was Paul’s problem. Pictured by him riding his high horse and believing it was his job to correct and punish others.) – The SCALES that kept him BLIND was his IGNORANT PRIDE.

Job 41:15
His SCALES are his PRIDE, shut up together as with a close SEAL
.

IGNORANT PRIDE is pictured in scripture as SCALES and a SEAL. Both of which keep the TRUTH locked away from our understanding.

Revelation 5:2
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book (THE TRUTH), and to loose the SEALS (MANKIND’S IGNORANT PRIDE) thereof?

However, once the SCALES (Paul’s PRIDE) fell from his EYES (understanding)… Once his pride was taken out of the equation… PAUL COULD SEE (he understood the truth and had received wisdom (which is a tree of life).

WISDOM is the TREE OF LIFE we all must regain. It is SEALED up by our foolish pride.

Proverbs 3:18
WISDOM is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

So SAUL, a name which literally means “desire” became PAUL, which literally means “small” or humbled… No longer did PAUL see himself as greater or smarter than others.

The SELF exalted SAUL was knocked off his high horse, realized he was blind to the TRUTH. He was SET STRAIGHT and when the SCALES (his pride) fell from his EYES (understanding) he FINALLY SAW THE LIGHT (TRUTH).

The book (TRUTH) was no longer sealed up. The TRUTH set him free!

The moral of this story is we may think we know it all. But when the TRUTH is revealed to us, it will knock us off our high horse, change our nature (name), humble us, set us straight, and finally allow us to SEE!

This is what many refer to as being BORN AGAIN. Or the great day of the Lord (revealing of the existing one)

Isaiah 29:18
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the BOOK (Truth), and the eyes of the blind (Ignorant) shall see (become WISE) out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

The scriptures are an allegory, they are also a mystery. The Letter (literal interpretations) kills (make you ignorant) but the SPIRIT of these STORIES give you LIFE INDEED.

DIG DEEPER AND YOU WILL FIND THAT TREASURE THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN YOUR FIELD (your mind).

My Kingdom Is Not Of This World

not world
My Kingdom Is Not Of This World

This plans to be a very short and eye-opening essay on a simple scripture that seemed to open itself up to me within seconds of me hearing it. Tonight I had just come back from a business trip and yes it was on Easter. All morning I had been troubled because I really wanted to write something. There were so many taking to social media and making such passionate and bold statements about what they believe. I was hard to ignore all of the posts where people wrote, “He has risen” and so on and so on. I also hungered to share something, but I see the resurrection of Christ very differently. I have written extensively about this so I don’t want to weigh this paper down with more of what I have already shared.

However, I will state that there was a time when I would have also written something similar. Of course, there was a time I believed all sorts of things that I not KNOW were never true to begin with. Even so, these false beliefs were stepping-stones for me. With each step put before me I would take it. Soon I would find another step to take, and then another until I had finally matured and reached the pinnacle where I could finally understand what these things truly meant to begin with. I have written often about the allegory of scripture. How we are told in black and white that God opens his mouth in parable.

Psalm 78:2
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

We are told how the Glory of God (the existing one or one who exists) is to conceal a thing. Which means, the glory of the one who truly exists is revealed when that which has been hidden is uncovered….

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

The scriptures are very clear that the things of the “kingdom of God” are not easily understood… that they are in fact a mystery. A hidden truth. After all it is the Glory of God to conceal a thing and the honor of Kings to SEEK after what has been hidden.

Mark 4:11
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables

You see the mystery of the Kingdom of God has been HIDDEN within us all. So these stories we read about, whether they be literal events or not are NOT what we need concern ourselves with. It is the SPIRIT of the story that gives life… not the literal which keeps us all in darkness.

2 Corinthians 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

And the SPIRIT of the story is the truth that bubbles into wisdom after you realize what something you have read and misunderstood in the scriptures finally means. This revelation or revealing of the truth does indeed give us LIFE… And this TREE of LIFE is the WISDOM of the TRUTH, which finally sets us free.

Proverbs 3:18
(Wisdom) She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

So not everything that you believe or have been taught is necessarily true. Even if the whole world agreed that the Earth was flat their belief and agreement doesn’t make the statement true. I do understand that many people want to feel accepted, they want people to back up what they say or claim to know. No one wants to feel alone. But I will say that the path to truth, which is found by understanding the spirit of these stories can be a lonely one at first. The reason for this is we have all been conditioned from birth to embrace greed, lust, fear, hate, judgement, status, power, wealth, fame, and so on and so on… We are fed a constant diet of how we must behave.

“It’s a dog eat dog world”
“Only the strong survive”
“Nice guys finish last”

This is why we see so many suffering. This is why there is war and prejudice and hate and every ungodly thing. Now to rail against this, one must realize it is not an easy or celebrated road. Because once you begin to see the truth that sets you free from the egotistical fear that has ruled you for too long a sense of hope and peace comes over you. You begin to see the world through different eyes. You no longer want to repay anger with anger, you want to forgive, you have hope instead of fear, when you lose something you tell the world it is all part of a greater good. You become a light in a world of darkness and the darkness doesn’t like this light very much.

John 3:20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Once the truth if revealed to you, you glow, you stand out, you influence others, and your new-found life (For this is the resurrected life that many should celebrate), your new-found life is more precious than anything in this world.

You begin to do great and wonderful things for others and people will hate you for it. They will judge you, put words in your mouth, lie about you and try their best to extinguish that light that is burning them so bright.

John 10:32
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

And why did they want to stone him? Not because he did bad things, they admitted he did good works… they wanted him dead because he told them the truth of who he really was and they were not ready to accept who they really were in return. You see they were not children of the TRUTH, they were children of LIES. Children of this world… products of the lies in this world that formed us all…

John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do

Man’s ignorant ego is an adversary indeed. The creator of all sorts of lies, because the EGO that you have convinced yourself is who you are is a lie to begin with (There is NO TRUTH in “him”)

The devil/ego abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Now this DEVIL (Ego of ours) can also come as an angel of light… We see this in almost every church service… Lies are passed off as godly truth. Yet, these lies perpetuate prejudice towards those who are different, judgement against those who don’t believe the way they are told to believe, fear in what could come, pride in the fact that you are somehow better than others… and so on and so on… Yet we know those who are of the LIGHT by how they love, and those who are yet in darkness by how they hate.

1 John 2:9
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

When your eyes are opened you begin to see that ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD is dangerous. And you realize that you may be IN THE WORLD but you are no longer a product of the WORLD….

Which brings me to the point of this essay. Before Jesus was to be put to death, he said something which for hundreds of years people have misunderstood… Myself being one of them…

Jesus said…

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 the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Now we read this and believe that Jesus has said that HIS KINGDOM is in another dimension and if the nonsense the religious had done to Jesus had been done in HIS KINGDOM there would be hell to pay! Oh yeah.. we believed Jesus said, in my Kingdom if you dared do this to me, my servant would fight you and kill you dead!

But that doesn’t really line up with Jesus’ message now does it?

You know why? Because what you think he said and what he REALLY said are two different things. Let’s look at that scripture again…

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 the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Jesus was asked if he believed he was King of this world and he said… MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD… meaning, his kingdom doesn’t operate the say way the WORLD’S kingdom acts…

To truly understand this, you must first understand what the “world” is that Jesus is speaking and what the word “Kingdom” means…

The word KINGDOM literally translates into “RULE, AUTHORITY… not of a literal Kingdom but the power and rule and authority a person is under when ruled by a King”… The word KINGDOM translates into WHAT RULES YOU!

No the world… well according to scripture. All that is IN the world is the Lust of the Flesh, Eyes, and pride of Life.

1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And who is the KING of this world… THE father of lies (your ego) himself.

The KINGDOM of THE WORLD Jesus said he was NOT A PART OF would send servants to fight and kill on a leaders behalf… BUT NOT THIS IS NOT WHAT RULES THE AWAKENED ONES HEART!

Revenge and murder and greed and power were NOT THINGS that motivated/ruled Jesus… BECAUSE he was ruled by something very different indeed… LOVE!

So Jesus never said that in his Kingdom people would fight and kill and make war to set him free… NOOOOO! Jesus was saying the opposite… Please read the passage again WITH DIFFERENT EYES.

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 the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Jesus answered… I am NOT ruled by the terrible things that motivate men trapped in darkness… I am NOT ruled by hate, greed, fear, or pride… which is why no one is coming to save me or fight for me… Because MY KINGDOM is NOT of this world… I am ruled by love, peace, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, patience and wisdom… So no, My Kingdom is NOT of this world… IF IT WAS then you would see people killing in my name, or on my behalf… Because that is the way those ruled by the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life behave… My KINGDOM is not from such a place of darkness.

This KINGDOM is WITHIN YOU! The RULE of GOD is to be RULED BY LOVE AND TRUTH! Which is why the more you see love and truth in all things, the easier it is to know the truth and love that was hiding there to begin with.

We have been taught so many things the wrong way. It is time for us to seek the truth no matter what the cost. To never give up on a life that is truly worth living… Because whether you believe it or not YOUR KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD as well… You may just not know it yet.

The Desire To Live

LIVELIFE

THE DESIRE TO LIVE

We have been conditioned in life to believe that to be happy and to find peace we need to have more, to do more, and we need to be more. Every day we are flooded with images and ideas to keep us slaves to the belief that what we have and who we are just isn’t good enough. Sadly, this belief that most people have put their faith in is the very thing that keeps their freedom, peace and joy far from them. Like a carrot dangled before the mule, this promise of peace and joy through attaining more is a promise that will never come to pass. However, there is hope for the hopeless, there is joy for those who has lost their desire to live, and it is closer than you think. It is the truth that changes you and your change is coming! (Please do subscribe, it’s free and you will be updated with all new posts and videos… also share this site with your friends. Thank you so much for any and all of your support! Jacob)

WHO AM I?

Who am I? This is the question many of us ask. Yet, few dare to dream of just how amazing they are, or can be. Fewer still believe they have power over their lives. We have been lulled into a deep sleep of ignorance and have chosen to see our lives as burdensome. We think more of what do not have than what we can accomplish with faith. We are more than we have ever given ourselves credit to be. WE ARE WHAT WE DECIDE WE ARE. What we do to others we do to ourselves. This is why we must always do well.

This short video contains a great truth. Knowing this truth is the key to living a fulfilled life. For those who are suffering, for those who can never seem to get ahead, there is hope. You are more than you know and when you understand this there is nothing that shall be impossible to you.

Call Upon The Name

CALL UPON THE NAME

This weekend I had the chance to speak with a pastor of a near by church. He was sharing quite a bit with me. I took the oppurtunity to do the same. I knew that the way I “see” things was dramatically different than the way he saw things. So I didn’t try to force my views on him, nor did I try and prove what he was saying as wrong. He of course, put heavy emphasis on Jesus the man/the Christ being Lord and Savior and that if you don’t put all your trust in this man from two thousand years ago then you will not be saved.

When I asked him what it is that we needed saving from. His answer was of course infinite torture. You see his view of salvation is an assurance that in the future a God of Love will not torture him endlessly.

This is what I call the dangling of the carrot. Hold that carrot out in front of the donkey and get that donkey to work for you without ever receiving the reward. To an extent this is very true with religion today. There is a lot of self assurance and belief that in the future everything will finally be perfect, but in the now the majority of mainstream “believers” are some of the most miserable. And why wouldn’t they be? They are taught that they have no power over their situations. They are taught that there is a scary monster called the devil who is out to get them, so when anything goes wrong of course it couldn’t be them who are either to blame for it, or benefit from it. They are also taught how to be prideful and arrogant and prejudice. They are convinced they are part of some elite club and that anyone outside that club is somehow “less than”. They believe that it is love to tell a person that they are going to burn endlessly if these people don’t change their orientation or belief. They are taught that they will be blessed with more money IF they only give their money, sort of like a spiritual lottery where you have to be in it to win it. The reward for their devotion to whatever church, temple, mosque, or religion they serve is the promise of a future pay off… THAT NEVER COMES WHILE THEY WALK THIS EARTH. Sort of like saying, work for me for the rest of your life and after your dead I’ll pay you.

Now this line of “sinking” ironically is not even scriptural. It took me many years of study, prayer and contemplation to see how very tricked I too had been. I too, had been the donkey chasing after that carrot. It took years to finally give up this egotistical line of “sinking” and find that the carrot had already been within. The instant I did, I began to rest.

After your work, and you SEE all you have done under the sun, and you can say that everything was for the good… YOU REST! This my friends is salvation.

Salvation is NOT a future event. It is freedom from your fear, your worries, your dread, your insecurities, your pride, your hate, your shame, your illusions, etc. Salvation is KNOWING the TRUTH of who you are. Because it is THE TRUTH that sets you free! Salvation is finally entering the KINGDOM OF GOD. Which is NOT a future event… it is a NOW EVENT.

For those who do not know what the Kingdom of God is… this is not some far off palace in the sky. The Kingdom is WITHIN YOU and it is RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY! – It is finally finding REST! It is finally being able to LIVE YOUR LIFE IN ALL IT’S GLORY!

Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Now, where mainstream Christianity uses fear as a motivator… you will find that in the kingdom of heaven, there is no fear… there is ONLY LOVE!

God is LOVE! And there is NO FEAR in love. In fact, perfect LOVE casts out all fear!

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

And yet those in mainstream Christianity will use fear of this or that, whether it is hell or the devil, to get you to do whatever it is they want you to do. “You better do this… OR BURN!!!!!”

Fear produces death. Giving people a to do list to find peace is pictured beautifully in the allegory of the LAW. Moses came up with what seems like an endless list of do’s and don’ts for us to follow… OR ELSE! In it contained ways to punish people, condemn people, and yes kill people… Man’s law is not God’s law. The LAW OF LOVE is CLEAR!LOVE GOD FIRST and…

Mark 12:31
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Man’s law produces fear, shame, regret, pride, anger, lust and more… The Law of Man produces DEATH (carnal minded thinking)… It is the LAW OF SIN and DEATH. The LAW OF LOVE, which one finds when they rest… SETS YOU FREE!

Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

No to do this one must learn to DENY themselves. They must TAKE UP THEIR CROSS. They must lay down the lies the once learned and cross over to the truth.

Let’s for a moment see what mainstream Christianity says we need to do to find out “future salvation”. Then I will show you what we must lay down to be free now.

Salvation according to mainstream christianity is “confessing Jesus as Lord and escaping and endless amount of unspeakable torture. The caveat being, this infinite horror show many professing Christians have no problem saying a GOD OF LOVE created.

The same God of “love” who created you, and me. The same God of love who told us all to love and forgive, especially our enemies. The same God of love who said, If we know how to take care of our children and we are ignorant, HOW MUCH MORE does this same God know how to treat his own.

The logical question many parents would ask is, if they, themselves, would never give up on their kids regardless of what their children had done, why would God? There is not one parent that would send their child away to a place of unspeakable torture because their child was too ignorant to know their parent to begin with. Anyone reading this would agree, it is better for a child to be taught and encouraged and loved. Yet, not the god of mainstream Christianity. No, this God would say that we should always forgive and love, yet this God, according to mainstream Christianity will not do the same.

IF you DON’T do as you have been told, if you DON’T say the magic words and call upon the name of the “Lord”, the very same God of “love” who created you, and told you to love always, forgive always, to do good always even to those who do you wrong, will send you to a this place of infinite torture.

And I bought into that line of “sinking” for many years believe it or not. Even though it never sat right with me.

I just wanted so desperately to know God, to escape my sadness and to find peace. I thought I better get in line and believe what everyone had been telling me was true since I was about twelve years old, you know, JUST IN CASE I was headed to Dante’s inferno for not doing so.

I was alive once before the LAW came. I didn’t fear God. I had hope. I trusted in God’s provision. I believed I could be anything. I didn’t worry about what tomorrow would bring, what I would wear, what I would eat. I didn’t worry that God was angry with me, holding me under his judgmental microscope waiting for me to mess up so he could send me to a place that makes the movie SAW look like something from Walt Disney’s imagination…. I WAS ALIVE ONCE UNTIL THE LAW CAME.

I was TRICKED AS PAUL was TRICKED! Really read this next verse and then let’s open our eyes a little wider as the truth come forward.

Romans 7:8-10
8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.

Paul understood he had been tricked, just like I was tricked… JUST LIKE YOU WERE TRICKED. But trust me the deception goes much deeper than this. We are just getting started with this one people.

But back to Paul. You see “HE” was TRICKED by religious people as I was. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees. “SIN” seized the opportunity to take the very TRUTH ABOUT GOD intended to bring life and actually tricked Paul into living a life of death.

Let me offer what I believe Romans 7:8-10 means.

Sin is the thought of foolishness. It is missing the mark, missing the truth. Sin is missing the SPIRIT of things. SIN can take something that is meant to be a blessing and turn it into a curse. It is taking something the wrong way. Like reading the directions of a shampoo bottle and thinking you must continue to wash your hair again and again and again, because it says “Repeat”. As opposed to understanding this means, the NEXT TIME you wash your hair do the same thing.

So Paul misunderstood what the LAW OF GOD really meant. This is what SIN is, it is to think foolishly, to be ignorant, TO MISS THE TRUTH OF GOD and MISS THE MARK OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

Proverbs 24:9
The thought of foolishness is sin

Paul was ALIVE ONCE, as I was ALIVE before MY FOOLISH UNDERSTANDING of GOD’S LAW TRICKED me into thinking I was miserable sinner who was damned to suffer the horrors of endless suffering.

The truth is we were ALL ALIVE once before SIN (OUR FOOLISH UNDERSTANDING) took the opportunity to turn the WONDERFUL TRUTH OF GOD into a terrible threat where we better do what religious men and women tell us to do, believe as they believe, think as they think, condemn as they condemn, OR ELSE!

We all began our lives as ADAM (Which by the way, literally means MANKIND as a whole).

We ALL were ADAM, we began UNASHAMED of who God created us to be. We were at peace. We had no fear of the future, no shame of the past, we were children alive in the garden, living the life God intended… THAT IS OF COURSE, until we were brought to that TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL and told we better eat or else.

At around twelve years old or so I began to listen to what the Priest told me, in my reLIEgion classes I was made to attend I was first taught of the horrors that await IF I DIDN’T FOLLOW THE FOLD. Side note: something FOLDED has something important wrapped up and hidden within.

Until the priest and religion instructors told me what a blasphemous sinner I was, I had no idea that I was born into this world the miserable horrible sinner that God loved so much he actually had to murder his own son to save me. Which of course if I didn’t swallow that bait hook, line and sinker, I would be punished for. So I had to believe my God of Love, actually hated me and murdered his son to save me, BUT only if I believed he did this.

SOUNDS RIDICULOUS if you really think about it. But as children we don’t know any better do we?

AND SO…. (PLEASE RE-READ WITH DIFFERENT EYES)

Romans 7:8-10
8 SIN, SEIZING the opportunity afforded by the commandment (the foolish idea of what God’s commandments were), produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law (This kind of foolish thinking), sin was dead (I had no fear and ignorance). 9 ONCE I was ALIVE apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin (THE IGNORANT TEACHING OF WHAT IT WAS, WHICH IT REALLY WASN’T) sprang to life and I died. 10 (LATER IN LIFE) I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. (BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD IT)… THANK YOU SIN!

IN THE GARDEN…

The SERPENT said EAT FROM THIS TREE and you will be LIKE GOD! The Serpent said, if you eat from this you surely won’t die. Just as the RELIGIOUS leaders of my youth told me, they said believe this, do this, don’t do that, and you will LIVE FOR EVER… or else!

YES, the EGO of man is clever and as children (immature in the faith) we listen. I listened and it took hold and my whole world changed.

You see as kids, we DON’T know truly, as EVE didn’t know, that we ALREADY WERE AND ARE LIKE GOD. We DIDN’T HAVE to eat from the tree of knowledge of what is good and what is evil to be like what we were. WE ALREADY ARE AND WERE the children of God. But when those religious leaders told us, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG in God’s eyes to be God’s child we listened and we ate, and we BELIEVED, and EVERYONE OF US DIED SPIRITUALLY!

The instant we believed, we began seeing God outside of us, far away and distant from us. We believed God was angry at us… for simply being born into a fallen world because of someone else’s mistake we were told. AND WE BELIEVED THAT TOO.

And so we were cast out of the GARDEN, which is within us, which is the Kingdom of God, which is where we lived/existed BEFORE SIN (FOOLISH BELIEF) took hold and condemned us to death.

If truth be told, it wasn’t ADAM that fell, It was US!

Think back to when you were a child, carefree and happy. Then question, why did it all changed?

The answer is we were tricked into separating ourselves from the truth by listening to lies. And what a cost we have all paid.

The instant we ate of the egotistical lies of religion our eyes were opened to a whole new world of death. And that world was one where we suffered, and had to work harder and harder to become what we had forgotten we already were, GOD’S ONLY BEGOTTEN.

We were told we were NAKED and that we should be ashamed, that were SINNERS in need of a Savior. We were told we were no good, losers, that we would never know peace or joy UNLESS WE DID AS those keepers of the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL told us to do.

The serpents tricked us into eating and we ate. AND CONTINUE TO EAT! Because we have not yet believed, IT IS NOT BLASPHEMOUS TO ACCEPT WHO WE TRULY ARE.

Think about this, who did Jesus call serpents?

That’s right the religious leaders of the time. The ones who looked all righteous on the outside but were filled with hypocrisy and death.

Matthew 23
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers

These blind guides did not see (know) the truth, and we followed them and did we not ALL FALL INTO THE DITCH of IGNORANCE AND SUFFERING?

They told us we were sinners, and that we should be ashamed, and that we should hate who we were, we were bad, bad, bad! So bad we deserve to be tortured endlessly… Once again their reason was simple, because of ONE’S MAN’S SIN six thousand years ago. Another shining example of how SIN takes the scriptures and makes it mean the very thing it means not.

YET, did God tell us we should be ashamed of who we are? Did God tell us we need to do anything to be who he created us to be? NO! One of the very first things God told us NOT TO DO was to EAT OF THAT TREE!

Genesis 3:11
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

So I ask you, DID GOD TELL YOU THAT YOU WERE A SINNER or DID MANKIND?

The answer is simple, CARNAL MANKIND did.

So a bigger question is now raised? What is salvation? Do we really need to be saved from some monstrous fate God has predestined for those who don’t do as the religious/serpents tell us?

OR do we need to be saved from the SIN of believing what the religious/serpents have tricked us into believing?

The SIN OF ADAM was EATING OF THAT TREE wasn’t it? ADAM’S sin was not simply being born ignorant of God, it was being tricked into believing he had to do something to be like God.

SO WHAT IS IT WE NEED TO REALLY BE SAVED FROM?

Well let me first put on theory to rest. We are NOT saved from some place of infinite torture called Hell. The reason is simple, there is no such thing. Hell literally translates into the GRAVE, the HIDDEN PLACE, it is IGNORANCE. For the sake of time, if you disagree with this statement please do go to my search bar and read two essays I have written here, one is called “Hell Revealed” and the other is called “Lake of Fire Revealed” and NO they are not the same thing.

HELL (our ignorance/death) is cast into the LAKE OF FIRE (Which is God’s spirit, a consuming fire, which is an allegory for refinement. As impurities as burned away from precious metals, so are our impure thoughts burned away with the truth.)

Nothing can separate us from the love of God! Only our ego can trick us into thinking we are far from God.

Romans 8
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I must add, since HELL is our ignorance, it is indeed our IGNORANCE that we need to be saved from.

Now there are many teaching today that God will forgive us and save all men. And that is a step in the right direction. The problem with this is, they are still placing salvation in the future. They are still saying this salvation was attained by one man who was put to death so we could die and go to heaven. And that my friends is a big problem. It is like saying, one doesn’t need to learn how to drive to get a license, because one man learned for us all. This is another trick of that enemy called the ego. Once again it is putting faith in something outside of you, instead of going within.

This belief that the price was paid by someone else, and that we need do nothing but believe that… is like trying to get to the truth by entering another door because it seems easier and people told you to.

John 10:1
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

The thief and the robber is the ego of man, always trying to do it the carnal way.

HOWEVER, when you enter into the truth… the same person who was once a follower of the truth, becomes the truth itself.

John 10:2
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Jesus never said to simply believe on him and it’s good. Jesus said, to take up the cross, to do as he did, to see as he saw, to be what you were born to be. Jesus never said to pray to him, or to think that you are good by simply believing he did what he did. HE SAID…

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

DENY YOURSELF, this doesn’t mean to deprive yourself. It means to DENY IT. To understand who you think you are IS NOT WHO YOU ARE. Jesus said IF ANY MAN COME AFTER HIM, LET HIM DENY WHO HE THINKS HE IS, take up the same CROSS from death to LIFE AND FOLLOW THE PATTERN LAID OUT FOR US ALL.

Imagine if you will that I had overcome this world, and I told you “I AM” the resurrection and the life. The SIN would be to think that “I”, “Jacob Israel” was the SAVIOR who you must put all your trust in… However, the words can be read another way… “I am the resurrection and the life” MEANING the path to resurrection and life from the death of our ignorance is UNDERSTANDING “I AM”, understanding who YOU ARE TRULY is the RESURRECTION from the ignorance of who you once thought you were. It was never about putting your faith in one man from thousands of years ago, IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT understanding THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU. It is about finding your way back into the garden. It is about DENYING who you think you are and taking hold of the marvelous truth that you are God’s only begotten child.

When you do this, when you deny yourself and take up the cross from death to life, you too can say when people ask to show them the Father that “I am in the Father and the Father is in me”. For the Father is all there is.

Now for those that teach, only Jesus did what has to be done what follows is people feel that they are let off the hook. Meaning, people can basically live the way they want to live and it’s all good. The truth is, whatever a man sows he shall also reap. We are corrected in this life and when this happens we MUST pay attention to it. Our testing is the trial of our faith. This is our refinement process. So to simply believe you have arrived and it’s all good and you can go about and live your life any old way you want because someone else did all the work is in fact another lie of the ego. And just because your EGO has made you believe that this is some grand revelation doesn’t mean it is true. The EGO can come as an angel of light and cause you much harm.

Just because you believe it’s all going to be peaches and cream after physical death doesn’t mean you are saved. Because salvation has absolutely nothing to do with the future. You are still trapped, you are still in hell, you still need to be saved from YOUR”SELF” in the here and now.

You see the thief wants to do three things to you.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…

The THIEF pictured here is your EGO, the person you have been tricked into believing is you, the one you must deny. Another name for this thief is the Devil. Once again, please read my article called “Man’s Ego is the Devil” if you have questions about that statement. And it is this THIEF, this FALSE SENSE OF SELF that you need to be saved from. You need to be saved from your ignorant suffering. You need to KNOW LIFE AGAIN! And the only way to do this is to embrace who you truly are and always have been. This revelation is revealed with you.

John 10:10
… “I” (WHO YOU REALLY ARE) am come (IS REVEALED) that they might HAVE LIFE, and that they might have it more abundantly.

BELIEF doesn’t set anyone free, going along with the popular crowd doesn’t set anyone free, doing this or doing that doesn’t set you free… ONLY THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE sets you free.

John 8
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Now what I am about to share may shock you, but it doesn’t make it any the less true. Thankfully the scriptures also back this revelation up.

As with the story of ADAM, the story of Jesus’ crucifixion is also OUR STORY!

Jesus is a symbol of who we all really are and were before “we/our ego” crucified him. As Paul said, we also were crucified with him.

When Jesus died, we died. Why? BECAUSE WE ARE HIM AND HE IS US. Jesus is a symbol of the son of God we really are that we allowed RELIGIOUS LEADERS and POLITICAL LEADERS to KILL WITHIN US. But the same SON OF GOD that we are, that we all crucified, is also LORD. The word lord, in other scriptures it is translated to Jehovah, literally means the EXISTING ONE. You see, JESUS (a symbol of humanity in it’s risen/resurrected/enlightened state) is the ONLY US that really EXISTS!

We have the MIND OF CHRIST, we are the BODY OF CHRIST, we have the NAME OF CHRIST… That doesn’t leave any room for Tom, Dick and Carnal Harry.

Who we thought we were is actually the very same EGO that killed who we always have been. We chose an alternative reality, one where suffering is a way of life, where hopes and dreams go unanswered, where we have no power, where we need to do what religious people tell us to do to be saved from an imaginary place of infinite torture that doesn’t even exist.

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO BE SAVED? FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE!

Let me break down the symbolism of the crucifixion for you. To help you better understand this.

Jesus is called the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No one can get to the FATHER without knowing the way, the truth, and LIFE!

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by (The way, the truth, and the LIFE).

ANDDDDDDDDD….. For THAT to be fully realized one must understand the nature (name) of God (love) is also the NATURE (name) of that person. Because when that nature is matured and we judge the truth correctly we understand AS HE (JESUS) is… SO ARE WE!

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Now WHO was condemned by the religious of the day and declared to be HERETIC for claiming to be the SON OF GOD?

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE!

Who was rejected by many, who was angry at what religion had done to the way people understood God?

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE!

Who was put to death by the religious and political leaders of the time. Because they wanted to be KING and rule, and didn’t want all of humanity to be ruled by the WAY, TRUTH, AND THE LIFE?

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE!

And where was the WAY, TRUTH, AND THE LIFE put to death by these religious and political leaders?

That’s right GOLGOTHA… and what does GOLGOTHA MEANS? The PLACE OF THE SKULL! And what is beneath your skull? YOU BRAIN!

And where is the WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE buried right now? WITHIN YOU!

And where is the WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE seated? In the Temple of God… PLEASE POINT TO YOUR TEMPLES. What is between them?

YOUR BRAIN! Your thoughts!

Christ (The truth revealed in mankind) was put to death (buried beneath lies) at Golgotha (the place of the skull=Our brains), yet CHRIST(the way, truth, and life) remains seated in the TEMPLE of Gods (Your brain is between your temples).

We ALL were crucified with Christ (meaning we all became ignorant of the Truth) after we were given a crown of thorns.

And what does a crown symbolize? A RULE, BEING RULED. And what are the Thorns?

Mark 4:18-20
18 And these are they which are sown among THORNS; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

The instant we took upon ourselves the SINS (foolish thoughts/cares) of the world, the TRUTH OF WHO WE WERE was put to death, by the new IDEA of what we should be.

And in that instant we began to believe God had forsaken us.

Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

All thanks to that religious egotistical serpent that said, TO BE LIKE GOD ALL WE MUST DO IS EAT!

We all believed we were separated from God and that produced death. We ALL were forced outside the GARDEN (our heart) and began living OUTSIDE the GARDEN, which means we began to put faith in everything temporal outside of us instead of the eternal truth that is within.

Newsflash people, WE WERE THE ONE “MAN” THAT BROUGHT DEATH INTO THE WORLD. The good news is WE ARE THE ONE MAN THAT BRINGS LIFE INTO THE WORLD. The instant we CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD!

Now here is the big shocker. Read this scripture carefully and buckle up because everything is about to change.

Romans 10:12-14
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

There is no difference between you and me, and those we see in the news or on the street. The same LORD IS OVER US ALL.

The word LORD translates to “The EXISTING ONE”

There is no difference between you and me or others, because the same ONE THAT EXISTS is over all. Meaning we ALL EXIST. We all share that same amazing gift or LIFE. CHRIST is our LIFE. WE EXIST! The world revolved around each of us. The sun rises and sets upon each of us. We ALL EXIST! We ALL are the one looking behind the son of the ONE WHO EXISTS… who we ignorantly call by our worldly name… Our EXISTENCE GAVE LIFE TO WHO WE ARE IN THIS WORLD. And just as we repent of the life we have created for ourselves and set out to destroy the idea of the person we used to be, we see the same story told over and over again in the scripture.

Genesis 6:6
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

The one who exists wishes that he or she had not become the very thing they had become. This is the first step toward true salvation.

There is no difference between us, at our core we all EXIST! We ALL are in the father and the father is in us. We all can say, if you have seen (understood) ME you have seen (understood) I EXIST!

We need to go deeper, to seek more, really question who is behind the wheel driving our life? We need to see that “He that is WITHIN ME, the one who EXISTS, is GREATER than the ONE you think you are in this world.”

I GO TO MY FATHER (I AM/I exist), for he is GREATER than who I think I am.

That day, I will be IN YOU and you will be IN ME, because you will understand we ALL EXIST!

Now here is one way it is explained to US on how we will find salvation. And what follows is truly what this whole paper has been about.

Romans 10
13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the NAME of the LORD shall be saved.

It would be sin to think The words “call upon the name” of Jesus is how salvation is found. The words call upon (eÍpikaleÑw) actually translate to “to put a name upon, to surname, to permit one’s self to be surnamed, to be named after someone”

This is huge news people, because we already know the word LORD translates to THE EXISTING ONE. But what is indeed startling is the fact that the only way to find salvation is to CALL YOURSELF THE EXISTING ONE!

It is not about accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, it is about accepting that what was true was Jesus is true for you. You too can say, BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM. As Jesus did, before you knew ABRAHAM you EXISTED!

So you see the problem. For anyone to truly know salvation, they must first know SALVATION IS ALREADY THEIRS! You will never be free as long as you are looking outside of you for the answers, you will only know the truth when you enter in and become the shepherd of the sheep yourself. The next line in Romans is the reason so many still suffer.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?

How are you going to finally come to realize who you are, if you believe it is a sin to do so.

CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD! CALL YOURSELF THE EXISTING ONE AND BREAK FREE!

The POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH IS IN YOU! Think differently!

Now before you go and say that I am declaring that “I AM” God alone, or that you are GOD ALONE… I want to remind of something, GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT EXISTS!

Mark 12:32
And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is NONE OTHER
.

Now read this with new eyes.

Genesis 1:26
And God (THE ONLY ONE WHO EXISTS) said, Let US make man in our image, after our likeness
:

The ONE WHO EXISTS created who you think you are in the image of who you really are. You TRULY ARE more than you know.

I would like to leave you with this last ground breaking truth. In the scriptures, when Moses went to Pharoah and was asked what God sent him… Moses answered, “I Am”… God (The one who exists) spoke with Moses and explained that his true name was “I Am That I Am”. Not only does this mean God is existence itself… but the words “I AM” are translated incorrectly… Those Hebrew words literally translate into… “I WILL BE WHATEVER I WILL BE”.

God is the creator, he makes and remakes as he wills. Be what it is you want to be, by first knowing who you TRULY ARE! The POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH is in your mind and tongue. CREATE A LIFE FOR YOURSELF AND RISE FROM THE GRAVE OF RELIGIOUS THINKING.

Psalms 82
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

JACOB

ARE WE GOD?

untitled
ARE WE GOD?

That’s some title, is it not? An attention grabber for sure. However, a very important question to ask. A question that I have held off posting for many, many years. The reason is this very important question strikes fear into the hearts of people everywhere. We have been conditioned for so long to believe that such a question was off-limits. Not just off-limits, mind you, but we have been taught that to ask this question is the most blasphemous thing a person can do.

Have you ever wondered why that is?

What if the reason we have been conditioned to not ask this question is because the question itself may prove to be the very thing that sets us free?

Now I could post all sorts of scriptures that would make many second guess what they had been taught about God to begin with.

For example: That God is somehow far from them… when scripture teaches us that God is within us, through us, and is us. For God is all that exists.

1 Corinthians 8:6 – yet for us there is but ONE GOD, the Father, FROM WHOM ARE ALL THINGS and WE EXIST FOR HIM; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him (CHRIST).

We (who we believe ourselves to be) exist for GOD (the only one that really exists) and WE (Who we believe ourselves to be) exist THROUGH Christ.

The SON (who we are in this world) makes the Father known. And why does the SON (God’s creation) do this? … Because no one has SEEN God at any time.

John 1:18
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

You can’t SEE the SEER people. The SEER declares the ONE who sees. This is hard for me to explain and make plain here as well, which is why I have held off so long from posing this question before you all.

Ponder this for a moment: Who is the one seeing out of your eyes? Is that you? Now take it a step further, who is the one who creates the dreams you have at night?

SURELY, you believe yourself to be your conscious mind. But your conscious mind is so much smaller than your sub conscious mind. In addition your conscious mind is IN your subconscious mind, and your subconscious mind is in your conscious mind… and news flash people…. Your conscious mind and subconscious mind are BOTH IN YOU.

No one can know the subconscious mind (for lack of a better title), but the conscious mind makes the subconscious mind known.

I know this may be a lot to take in and may seem like a stretch. Nevertheless, the point of this simple essay is only to get you to question…. WHO AM I? AM I IN CONTROL? WHAT IS THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

When the disciples asked Jesus to show them God, to make God tangible and understandable to them… what did Jesus say?

John 14:9-11
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me

Jesus said, IF YOU HAVE SEEN ME YOU HAVE SEEN GOD! He said God is IN him, and he is IN GOD. He said, even the words he spoke came from God (not WHO they thought Jesus was).

Let me explain that for a second. Jesus understood the truth. That HE AND GOD were ONE and the same… That the “Jesus” part was a creation or the SON (offspring) of GOD (THE ONLY ONE WHO REALLY EXISTS).

Another way of understanding this mystery is to look at our own sense of being. Who we believe ourselves to be in this world, our names, our pet peeves, our likes, our dislikes, our hang ups, etc… that is a creation of WHO WE REALLY ARE. Who we are in this world is who we CHOOSE to be in this world. We can easily change who we are. We can change our names, try new things, we can do whatever we want, become whoever we want… we are in control of who we project into this world… In other words, who we project into this world is our offspring. Who we project into this world is our creation, our child… And the only way for others to get to know the REAL US is by the CHILD (our creation) to express who we really are. Because no one can really know who we REALLY are, all they can is WHO WE DECLARE TO THE WORLD.

John 1:18
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

So the SPIRIT within us, the “Lord” (existing one/one who truly exists) projects into this world the person we believe ourselves to be. And Jesus knew this well. Jesus understood that who he was in the world was simply the “child” of the God within us all… He wouldn’t dare say I AM GOD… yet he understood that God was LORD, that he was ONE with God and if ONE… then there is no other. This is a mystery and one that is hard to explain.

Who everyone knew Jesus to be in the world, who Jesus knew himself to be in this world WAS NOT GOD. He made that clear when he told the rich who was searching for answers, “there is NONE that is good save God”

When Jesus spoke to the disciples they couldn’t bear to hear this. They couldn’t grasp this. The disciples saw a man named Jesus and believed HE WAS GOD in the Flesh, people make this same mistake today. The belief that God is somehow separate from them…

Jesus wanted desperately for them to know the truth…. He even prayed that they would know that they were all ONE.

John 17
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Who we have believed ourselves to be is the creation of who we really are WITHIN. It is the IMAGE of who we really are… An image is not the source but a representation of the source.

“Let US (PLURAL) make MAN in OUR (PLURAL) IMAGE”

Don’t WE (who we really are) actually create who we want to be for others to see? Don’t we all do that?

We do it so often that sometimes it’s hard for us to keep track of who we really are, because we are so busy creating the image of who we want to be… BOTH CONSCIOUSLY AND SUBCONSCIOUSLY… And that is the reason the world seems to be in the mess it is.

Now let’s take that though a step further. First we create who we project into this world (who we think we are) and then we CREATE physical representations of (who we think we are) into this physical world as well by having children.

My wife and I said, “wouldn’t it be wonderful to create a child in our image”… and we then begin the joyous process of having children. WE CREATE HUMAN BEINGS. This begins within us and we then birth it out into this physical world. Then we go so far as to FORM those CHILDREN into WHO WE WANT THEM TO BE… Which in effect makes it hard for them to TRULY KNOW WHO THEY ARE… which is THE SAME AS WHO WE ALL REALLY ARE. Because there is ONLY GOD.

The word “Lord” in Greek, we defined literally means “THE EXISTING ONE, THE ONE WHO EXISTS”

When Moses dares to share GOD with Pharoah… what was the NAME OF GOD AGAIN?

“I AM” – “I EXIST”

BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD!

Think about this for a second. God can never forsake you or leave you?

WHY? you ask… Because YOU CANNOT FORSAKE OR DENY YOURSELF (who you really are within)… And it doesn’t even matter if you don’t believe what I am writing is true… because you can’t deny who you are to begin with.

2 Timothy 2:13
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

What if this is the key to our freedom? Could it be that we ALL are GOD in a manner of speaking? That we are all many members of the ONE BODY WHICH IS GOD?

1 Corinthians 12:12
For as the BODY is ONE, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are ONE body: SO ALSO IS CHRIST.

And if that be true is it so far-fetched to think that we all ARE projecting who we think we are into the world and creating all the wonderful things and terrible things we experience… because we simply believe that is what is supposed to be.

Is it possible that we create our own suffering and create our joy? Is this possible? The scriptures seem to back up this belief.

Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he

Job said, he greatest FEAR came upon him. Is it possible that our thoughts create our world? Is this why the scriptures warn us that the power of life and death is in the tongue?

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue

Consider something on a tangible scale… Look at your wall… now imagine a beautiful painting there… Can you not simply be imagining this and desiring this, create this and manifest this into your world?

Didn’t Jesus say, “with FAITH NOTHING shall be impossible to you?”

Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

BELIEF is the KEY to creation. Let me tell you why.

WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE.

If you don’t think you have power to calm the storm, YOU CAN’T… because you have created you inability to do so. If you BELIEVE you can turn your situation around, YOU WILL. If this wasn’t true then why would the scriptures point us in this direction?

Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them
.

IF YOU BELIEVE YOU WILL RECEIVE! But if you don’t want to believe these words, then look to your lives and ask yourself if anything in your life that has happened was something you couldn’t believe would happen… Then ask yourself, is anything that you want in life but don’t have something you truly believe you can have.

For years I have lived a life of saying I would do this or that before I found myself doing this or that. That goes for the good and the bad. Because if I am truly honest with myself… this is the story that I told myself and believed so what other story could be played out before me.

Few people are ready to grab unto the belief that their every waking moment is a creation of who they are to begin with. The problem is most are creating only fear and misery in their life… because they have been programmed since birth to believe that they are no good sinners and that they are incapable of saving themselves from their own ignorant creation.

One way of looking at it is… Your CONSCIOUS mind is the seed giver… An allegory of this is ADAM if you will… Your SUBCONSCIOUS MIND is a sense EVE the MOTHER OF ALL…

When the conscious mind and subconscious mind are of one accord, they are perfect, WHOLE… they are God manifested in this world.

Philippians 2:2
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

One MIND, one God, ONE baptism, One Spirit, ONE…

The problem is the conscious and subconscious mind have been separated, the subconscious mind was taken out of the conscious mind’s control… Just as Eve was taken out of Adam. The big trouble started when the subconscious mind began listening to the wrong HUSBAND… Our ego began talking to our subconscious mind and now we find our greatest fears coming upon us… because we deal more with thoughts of fear and worry and doubt and BELIEVE them to be true, more than we believe that we HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE. So in essence we are ignorantly creating all the time… JUST NOT THE THINGS WE DESIRE. We only create the things we BELIEVE will be.

Another way or looking at it is our subconscious mind is as GOD and our conscious Mind is as ADAM… and there was a time both were one accord and NOW they are separate.

These ideas I put forth, are simply ideas… but well worth pondering.

However just as our EGOTISTICAL IGNORANT thoughts can impregnate our subconscious mind and manifest it into the world… so can OUR CONSCIOUS mind do the same…

This is what the scriptures mean by taking on the mind of Christ, killing off the anti-christ… etc.

We have forgotten the truth and there has been this “veil” between the truth and who we think we are in this world. But this veil is taken away the instant we take up that cross.

2 Corinthians 3:14
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ

Let’s put aside all of our religious indoctrination and the fear that goes along with it for a moment. Let’s dare to ask ourselves the really hard questions.

Like, why is it sometimes we start hearing a song in our head and all of a sudden there it is on the radio. Why is it we daydream of an old friend we haven’t heard from in years and then WHAMO they call? Why is it we dream of things before they happen, think of things before they happen? Why do we constantly say to ourselves “I knew that was going to happen.”

What if there really is more to us then we know.

Let’s look at the facts.

Where is God according to scripture?

1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth IN you?

Point to your temples people… God is ruling right there from his throne… in his KINGDOM. And where is God’s kingdom?

Luke 17:21
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

God exists IN his TEMPLE which is who you project into this world. God creates the Temple which is who you project into this world. God exists in his Kingdom… which is WITHIN YOU (who you project into the world).

WHO YOU PROJECT IN THIS WORLD is the TEMPLE OF GOD… AND GOD IS IN THE TEMPLE… and this TEMPLE you can tear down and rebuild at will…

Matthew 26:61
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

According to scripture GOD exists WITHIN YOU (who you think you are)… Just as the subconscious mind exists within the conscious mind and vice versa.

You are truly the beginning and the end of your life. You are the very center of all things IN YOUR WORLD. Everything everywhere exist outside of you, but has to exist WITHIN you for you to experience it. WHY IS THAT?

What if you dared to look deeper? What would happen if you dared to take responsibility for everything that happens in your life? Now… what would happen if you began to CREATE and ACT… as opposed to simply believing you are going along for the ride.

Your experiences are dependent on your choices and your choices are dependent on what you believe can and cannot be accomplished.

The god of this world is YOUR EGO… Your ego is the one that tells you that you are powerless and that you have no control. Your ego created a god outside of you, far away from you, a god that you cannot see, hear, or feel… your ego has led you out of the garden of Eden (which is you)… You ego has you focused on everything outside you as opposed to turning within. And it is this GOD OF THIS WORLD (your ego) that has blinded us of the GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF CHRIST (awakening)

2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world 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.

Jesus said… if you want to know the way to the FATHER… then look at me. Jesus said I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE… Jesus also said so is everyone else.

AS GOD IS… SO ARE WE

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

I wrote this article not to say I am God… but to pose a question to all of you… IF YOU AND I AND EVERYONE WAS GOD how would that change the way we live our life?

And for those that say we should not question such things… I will remind you of what Jesus said to his disciples.

Luke 11:9-11
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

My prayer has always been “Teach me the truth no matter what the cost.” Because it is only the TRUTH that can set us all free… The question I have now is… Just who am I praying to? If the only God there is, is within me to begin with.

It is important to note that being one with something, and understanding that that “something” is all there really is, does not make you that “something” as well …

The YOU you ARE in this world is a projection of something so much greater than who you believe, and know yourself to be… Who you are in this world is a “HOST” for something much greater than you, hiding away within you, pulling the strings, the ghost in the machine. The LORD (EXISTING ONE) OF HOSTS is another name for “God” in scripture. But make no mistake about it, “No one has seen God at anytime…” YOU CAN’T SEE THE SEER after all.

Which is why, the greatest of all prayers is… “Not my will be done Lord (existing one) but thine!”
