METRON 4-21-18 – Part V – AS HE IS: Manifesting The Christ in the Material World

Today’s Notes:

I – “Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human.”
(Phillipians 2:5-7 – The Message)

II – “The correct description is that we try every day to become more humble when we talk about divinity, we try to realize how little we know and how open minded we should be.”
– John Templeton

III – “Great masters neither want nor need your worship.
Your greatest gift to them and yourself is to emulate
their divinity by claiming it as your own.”
– Alan Cohen

IV – “Dear friends, let us continuously love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born from God and knows God. The person who does not love does not know God, because God is love…This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, during our time in this world, WE ARE JUST LIKE HIM. There is no fear where love exists.Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.”
(I John 4:7,8, 17, 18 – ISV)

V – “My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love.”
(I John 4:7,8 – The Message)

VI – “It takes discipline and compassion
to awaken the divine in ourselves long enough
to recognize the divine in another.”
– Mary Anne Radmacher

VII – “Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies.”
(I Corinthians 13:4-8 – The Message)

METRON 4-22-18 – Part IV – AS HE IS: Manifesting The Christ in the Material World

Today’s Notes:

I – “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, TO BE LIKE US…”
(Genesis 1:26 – ISV)

II – “God: Now let Us conceive a new creation—humanity—made in Our image, fashioned according to Our likeness. And let Us grant them authority over all the earth—the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, the domesticated animals and the small creeping creatures on the earth.”
(Genesis 1:26 – The Voice)

III – “Jesus judiciously replies to them, “Is it not standing written within your Law…that ‘I say, you people are (or: exist being) gods’? [Ps. 82:6] Since He said ‘gods’ [= elohim] to whom God’s Word (or: Logos) came to be (or: toward whom the Idea, whose source and origin is God, was birthed; toward whom God’s message proceeded and was directed into existence) – are you yourselves now saying to the One Whom the Father set apart (consecrated as holy) and sent forth as an Emissary (on a mission; as a Representative) into the organized System (into the world; into the cosmos; unto the realm of the secular; into the religious and cultural complex) – that ‘You are blaspheming…because I said, ‘I am (exist being) God’s Son?”
(John 10:34-36 – JMNT)

IV – “You are a Divine creation, a Being of Light who showed up here as a human being at the exact moment you were supposed to. You are the Beloved, a miracle, a part of the eternal perfection.”
– Wayne Dyer

V – “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”
(Matthew 5:14-16 – The Message)

VI – “If you want the Divine to become alive within you, first of all you as a human being have to become absolutely alive.”
– Jaggi Vasudev

VII – “See the Divinity in others and you will find it within yourself.”
― Ka Chinery

(Luke 19:10 – JMNT)

Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God].”
(I Corinthians 13:12 – AMPC)

Metron 4-01-2018 Part I ‘AS HE IS: Manifesting The Christ in the Material World’

Today’s Notes:

I – “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because AS HE IS, so are we in this world.”
(I John 4:17 – NKJV)

__________

II – “…because JUST AS THAT ONE IS, we also continuously exist being: within the midst of this ordered System (or: because in this world of culture, religion, economy and government, even we, ourselves, progressively exist – correspondingly as, and to the according level as, That One continuously exists and is progressively being).”
(I John 4:17 – JMNT)

__________

III – “The DEATH of Jesus exposed and ABSORBED the lie of all religious teaching such as: God AND man, Christ AND us, Light AND darkness, Strength AND weakness, Health AND sickness, Wealth AND poverty, Life AND death, Saint AND sinner, Righteous AND unrighteous, Holy AND unholy, Pure AND impure, Saved AND lost, Redeemed AND un-redeemed, Inheritance AND lack, Spiritual universe AND material/physical universe, Perfection AND imperfection, Immortal AND mortal, Incorruptible AND corruptible, Present AND future, Eternity AND time, Here AND there, Truth AND lie, Cause AND effect, Spirit AND body, Saved AND unsaved, Us AND them. Divine nature AND sinful nature, Christ identity AND Adamic idenity etc…Tree of the knowledge of good and evil-dualism.

The RESURRECTION of Jesus REVEALED the truth such as: God AS man (as He is so are we, in this world), Christ AS us, Light prevails, darkness is merely the absence of the awareness of light, Our Father IS the strength of our life, He IS the health of our body, He IS the wealth of all people, There is only One life, and He IS the life of all, He IS the sanctification of all, He IS the righteousness of all, He IS the holiness of all, All are pure by virtue of Oneness, All were saved from the foundation of the world, All possess eternal redemption, All were blessed with all that pertains to life and Godliness, Heaven AS earth, He IS our perfection and completeness, He IS the immortality and incorruptibility of all men, He IS the now-ness of our now, He IS the eternality of our life revealed in time, yet not affected by time, He IS the ‘here’ of our existence, He IS the truth of our ‘I AM’, He IS the cause as the effect (us), He IS Spirit slowed down as our visibility, He IS our salvation from before time began, and there is only us AS them and them AS us-Only ONE, He IS our divine nature, and He IS our true and only identity etc…Tree of life-Oneness!”
– Kay Fairchild

__________

IV – ‘Jesus said, “My am-ness (mirrored in you) is your way; this is your truth and also your life! Every single person can now come face to face with the Father entirely because of my doing.”
(John 14:6 – Mirror Bible)

__________

V – “You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

__________

VI – “Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

__________

VII – Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, “Christ is risen,” but “I shall rise.”
– Phillips Brooks
