I read through the post several times in order to clearly understand the author’s points. I have found that there is a greater understanding of this discussion.
Everything is consciousness or spirit, even our physical bodies are a creation of consciousness by our consciousness. It is what gives life to matter. The problem is that the physical body and the consciousness relating to it is the lowest frequency of consciousness within our soul or spirit. It is very difficult to raise our consciousness to a higher level while we are still attached to a physical body for all the reasons mentioned in the article.
Everything that Jesus taught us was about how to let go of the attachments of our lower physical consciousness that act as anchors or ballast and raise us up to a higher level. In order to do this, Our Father sent us the Helper Consciousness of the Holy Spirit to lift us up. This Holy Spirit is also referred to as the Light as any higher consciousness is always perceived by a lower consciousness as Light. (It’s the same reason that the Danish atomic physicist, Niels Bohr who discovered the orbitals of electrons around the nucleus of an atom showed that they give off a photon as they come to a lower orbital level.)
Whether you are speaking of the flesh or the nature of the spirit relating to the flesh does not matter as when a person is alive the two act as one.
What people do not realize is that with each level of consciousness associated with the various levels of the physical body, that consciousness can either be turned and focused upward to a higher level or it can be spilled outward causing addiction or dependency. To the extent consciousness is spilled outward it is used up and not available to raise to higher levels which are closer to perceiving and experiencing God.
Further, an individuals perception of reality changes as they raise their consciousness. Children have a pure consciousness but it is very low in frequency. Our mission is to raise our consciousness to higher levels and keep it pure. We truly are seeds planted here to grow. The parable of the tares in the wheat in Matthew 13 and the explanation of it told by Jesus to His disciples clearly explains this.
Good post. I can see what you are saying.
