METRON 1-28-18 – Re-Imagining Your Life and Making Next-Level Thinking a Reality – Part IV

Today’s Notes:

I – ” Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.”(Matthew 4:1 – NKJV)

“Then Jesus was drawn from rukha d’koodsha into an unprotected state for what would be His stress from uprightness.”
(Matthew 4:1 – Khaboris Manuscript)

II “Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.””
(Matthew 4:2 – NKJV)

“…and then came His own temptations and said to Him, “if you are the Son of God (Alaha) say to these stones to become bread.”
(Matthew 4:2 – Khaboris Manuscript)

III – “Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple…”
(Matthew 4:5 – NKJV)

“Then uprightness carried Him to a holy city and stood Him upon the pinnacle of the temple…”
(Matthew 4:5 – Khaboris Manuscript)

IV – “Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.”
(Matthew 4:7 – NKJV)

“Jesus said to it, “Also written, to not put the Lord your God to a test”
(Matthew 4:7 – Khaboris Manuscript)

V – “Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.”
(Matthew 4:8 – NKJV)

“Again uprightness carried Him to a very high mountain and pointed out for Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glories…”
(Matthew 4:8 – Khaboris Manuscript)

VI – “Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
(Matthew 4:10 – NKJV)

“Then said Jesus to it, “Get out satan (satana), for it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve.”
(Matthew 4:1- – Khaboris Manuscript)

VII – “Psychologically speaking, resistance and resolution are at opposite poles. For resistance has fundamentally to do with not being able, or willing, to deal with the negative experiences in your life. And ultimately your happiness depends a lot more on handling—then letting go of—such adversities than it does, self-protectively, denying them, or fighting against them. In addition, so does (unwittingly) holding onto their associated feelings of hurt, sorrow, anxiety, or anger.

Without consciously deciding to, you can even get “attached” to feelings you haven’t resolved. But if you become aware of the exorbitantly high costs of not acknowledging, and working through, these feelings, you’ll realize that heedlessly clinging to them hasn’t at all contributed to your welfare. Quite the opposite.

Long ago, the depth psychologist Carl Jung contended that “what you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.” And today this viewpoint is generally abbreviated to “What you resist persists,” with many kindred paradoxical variants—such as, “You always get what you resist.”

The complementary opposite of these similar expressions is another equally counter-intuitive one, which hints at the most viable solution to such a quandary. It goes: “To get what you want, want what you get.” What links these two on-the-surface almost mystifying expressions is the underlying notion that it’s wise to accept what is, if only to put yourself in the best possible position to change it—or to achieve the freedom to move past it, and on to something else. And I should stress that I’m in no way intimating that you adopt a defeatist attitude in the face of what you deem inequitable or unjust, just that your resistance doesn’t end up taking the form of resisting yourself.

In any case, this post will elaborate on what’s become a prominent topic in popular psychology, frequently identified with the title, ’The Law of Attraction’ And while I regard this supposed “universal law” as somewhat overstated (and, in its suggestions of passivity and intentionality, at times even dangerous), it nonetheless represents an essential truth that demands to be taken seriously.”

I – “And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.”
(Genesis 1:31 – AMPC)

__________

II – RETROSPECT: a review of or meditation on past events; contemplation of the past; a survey of past time, events, etc.

__________

III – “You make PEACE with your past by owning your PIECE of the past.”
— Andy Stanley

__________

IV – “I accept everything that ever has been,
with no regrets, no resentments, and no call for vengeance.”
– Jonathan Lockwood Huie

_________

V – “In life you find pleasure. In life you find pain. Pain and pleasure is an example of the duality in life. Enjoy them both, they are part of the ride. The key is to not turn the pain into something else – regret.”
― J.R. Rim

__________

VI – “Have no regrets in life because of the choices you make. Good or bad, they are a learning experience, to help you grow. The only regret in life, is to never make a choice at all.”
― James Hauenstein

__________

VII – “What does it mean to embrace your reality? It means that you accept what is. It means you know who you are, where you are and what you want. It means you recognize that the only one who can make you happy is you. The only one who can change your life is you. That blame and anger only serve to defeat you, not the person you blame and have anger toward.

Acknowledging your reality equates to having self-awareness. It is a big part of happiness because when you lack it, you are fighting against where you actually are in your life. You have to own your situation, because when you don’t, you cannot make effective change. And then you have to embrace it. The difference is important. Acknowledging your reality allows you to understand, embracing gives you the power to change.”

METRON 1-14-18 – Re-Imagining Your Life and Making Next-Level Thinking a Reality – Part II

Today’s Notes:

I – “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.”
(Philippians 4:8, 9 – The Message)

II – “Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change.”
― Neville Goddard

III – Next Level Thinking
1) A level of thinking gained from, but not limited to: psychedelic drugs, dreaming, near death experiences, or an epiphany of any sort.
2) A level of greater thinking which includes, but not limited to: psychic visions, ability to lucidly dream, and in extreme cases, possibly physically altering something with ones mind.
3) A better overall understanding of the universe and existence itself.
―The Urban Dictionary

IV – “Man fails to do the works of Jesus Christ because he attempts to accomplish them from his present level of consciousness. You will never transcend your present accomplishments through sacrifice and struggle. Your present level of consciousness will only be transcended as you drop the present state and rise to a higher level. You rise to a higher level of consciousness by taking your attention away from your present limitations and placing it upon that which you desire to be. Do not attempt this in day-dreaming or wishful thinking but in a positive manner. Claim yourself to be the thing desired. I AM that; no sacrifice, no diet, no human tricks. All that is asked of you is to accept your desire. If you dare claim it, you will express it.”
― Neville Goddard

V – “It is certainly true…the person habitually trusting and progressively believing into Me, the works (actions; deeds) which I Myself am constantly doing (habitually performing; progressively making, constructing, creating, forming) that one also will proceed doing (performing; making; creating), and he will progressively be doing greater than these, because I Myself am progressively journeying (traveling; going from this place to another) toward (or: facing) the Father.”
(John 14:12 – JMNT)

VI – “Every next level of your life will demand a different you.”
― Anonymous

VII – “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”
― Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

METRON 1-7-18 – Re-Imagining Your Life and Making Next-Level Thinking a Reality – Part I

Today’s Notes:

I – “…yet to be rejuvenated in the spirit of your mind”
(Ephesians 4:23 – CLV)

II – “…and then to be continuously renewed (or: from time to time, or, progressively made young again) by (or: in; with) the spirit (or: attitude; breath-effect) of your mind (or: from the mind which is you)”
(Ephesians 4:23 – JMNT)

III – “As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.”
(Romans 4:17 – AMPC)

IV – “…the One continuously (habitually; or: repeatedly; periodically) making the dead ones alive, and (or: even) continuously calling (or: repeatedly and habitually summoning) the things not existing as existing (or: = not being into continuously being)”
(Romans 4:17 – JMNT)

V – “Everyone tells a story about who they are in their own head. That story defines you, dictating all your actions and all your mistakes. If your own story is filled with guilt and fear and self-hatred, life can look pretty miserable. But, if you’re very lucky, you might have a person who tells you a better story, one that takes up residence in your soul, speaking louder than the woeful tale of which you’ve convinced yourself. If you let it speak loudly within your heart, it becomes your passion and your purpose. And this is a good thing, the best of things. Because it is the very definition of love, nothing less.” ― Mia Sheridan

VI – “SENSES, APPEARANCE, ESSENCE and EXISTENCE
The world we see with our senses is very different than the world we see through our essence. Our senses perceive the world of appearance. Our essence perceives the deeper layers of existence. The first step of perceiving the world of essence is to have no goal other than to understand. “Understanding” has to be the ultimate goal. Only then, can we solve the problems.” ― Petek Kabakci

VII – “…the “Mind of God,” which Einstein wrote eloquently about, is cosmic music resonating throughout hyperspace.”
― Michio Kaku, Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
