The First Commandment

This post is a short one, for sometimes I like to post little seeds that will get you to think.

YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.

We have always considered this to mean that we shall not worship idols. We should not elevate any created god to the level of Yahweh. We should not believe that the stone or wooden craft is equal to Him. But He is existence.

What if this commandment goes deeper than that?

What if it is telling you to only believe in Yahweh... that He is all that there is. To believe that anything contrary to Him exists at all would then violate this commandment. Nothing but Yahweh can be.  Whatever else we think we see or experience... is not. No idea, no image, no tangible thing can be unless it is Him. In that case, to raise ideas, images, or experiences to the level of His Reality is violating this commandment.

I don't understand it all either, but this I know:

Yahweh is all that there is.

To Honor the Experience of Yahweh

I bet you thought I forgot about this blog. If you've been following my poetry blog, you'll notice that I'm not dead, so hopefully no one was worried about that. I haven't forgotten about this blog, either. I've just been going through things too deep and too powerful--too majestic and life-altering--for words. In fact, I've been experiencing things no other human has experienced before, at least not in any way I've heard or read about, and I have become something more that I ever dreamed. One of the reasons I haven't written about this on my blog is because the world at large is not in a position to understand it. Some of the people I've told think I'm crazy or heretical. Others have been lifelines as they help me navigate the massive changes. So instead of telling the world at large what I've been experiencing, I'll tell you some things that I hope will help open the mind to accept experiences that are vastly different than your o...

Beyond Reality: It's So Much Bigger Than We Think

So many things have clicked tonight. As I go ever deeper into the Heart of the Father and allow Him to rearrange the way I have always seen the world, I find that it's much more complicated and yet at the same time much simpler than I've always thought. When Yahweh first started telling me that He is all that there is, I knew that didn't mean that He was evil or that He allowed, sanctioned, or took part in any of the myriad of horrors I've witnessed on the news, in the lives of those around me, or in my own life. It is not His Nature. It could never be. So, in order to understand, I separated the Reality of who He is from the illusion of who He isn't, and instead of judging what is and what isn't based on what I experience, I judged it based on His Nature. But Yahweh said, "The colors can only remain separate on the painter's palette. If you want to paint a world, you have to mix them together." As I ascended to this place of We, I found that...

The Trinity of Faith

It can be difficult to explain this revelation on a blog because every time I go to write something, I find something else I have to explain. This is one of the foundational elements in what I call "The Creator's Paradigm," which is the entire revelation that I have so far. Faith, like Yahweh, is a Trinity. It is the "substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) It is the glue that holds creation together and the process by which all things are created. The word "evidence" has a root which means "seeing." The evidence of things not seen, therefore, means the "seeing of the unseen." It is also the substance, or tangible physical existence, of what you hope for. Generally what you hope for is something you've only seen in your mind or heart. We are created creators, partnering with Yahweh to create. Yahweh Himself uses this process to create all things, as we will see in a minute, however w...
