[.. From all of these, my leading in the Spirit is that striving to be transparent in Him is ok, too. And I will continue to do so. ..]

Oh! that WE could be transparent in EACH OTHER NOW... as it will be when language is no longer an issue.. Diamond then will be ultra metaphorical.. When words or even personal NAMES are not needed.. OH! only if I had the need or desire to explain "merging" (BOW) to these fine folks.. however I do not..

I submit that we do have a taste of it while yet in the flesh as we Christians share in the mind of Christ - speaking in Spiritual terms that the natural man cannot receive. Imagine how wonderful it will be when we have weighed anchor from these physical bodies!

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. - I Cor 2:12-16
