The Veil and the Covering

Yahweh is so multifaceted! He exists in various times and in various ways, and He is constantly speaking. We know that Yahweh is Light, and this Light that He is is our Life.

Light is beauty, it's frequency; it's motion and it's matter. It comes in many forms. The fullness of Light that we have yet seen is white light, and it contains within it every color both known and unknown. Then we can see the actual colors, and light can be filtered. We can see red light and blue light and yellow light.

Each of these facets of Light is Yahweh. The white light must be filtered, must be hidden in a certain time and place so that we can see the other facets of light, the colors... the rainbow! Yet, how can Yahweh hide Himself as White Light from us? And how can He share Himself as Purple Light lest He hide some aspects of Himself?

Thus He established the Veil. In the great expanse of Infinite-Eternity, He set up many Veils so that we could not see so much that we fail to see at all. Like missing the forest for the trees--or perhaps like missing the trees for the forest--we can become so awed and overwhelmed with the White Light that we fail to appreciate Green Light or Blue Light, even though both of these colors must exist within the White Light for it to truly be white.

Yahweh wants us to know every facet and detail of Him, and not just in the general awareness of existence. He wants to share each of these facets and details in intimacy. He wants us to marry Him in Purple as we married Him in White. We shall be the multifaceted Bride of Christ!

The Veil is a beautiful thing, for are not colors beautiful? Our ability to see and know Yahweh is only increased by the Veil, for even as we are behind it, we have not lost anything. We are still married to the White Light and we still know Yahweh there.

Yet sometimes, in illusions in our minds, we can associate the Veil with pain. We do this because of imaginary coverings that we sewed onto the Veil as certain facets of Yahweh were hidden from us. For example, when Yahweh hid "joy" from me in order to show me other facets of Himself, I imagined "depression" or "sadness" or "lack" upon that Veil. Thus in my mind I created a covering and an illusion.

I connected this covering so closely to the Veil that every time I would even sense a Veil coming before me, I would cringe and shy away. Though the Veil was beautiful and would teach me more of Yahweh, I did not want to experience it or go through it because I knew it would bring me heartache and pain.

But the Veil never brought me heartache and pain. The Veil only brought me Yahweh.

The heartache and pain came from the illusion, from the covering I had imagined over the Veil. Just as a sun shining on a Real, solid object will cast a shadow, I created from the Real, beautiful Veil an insubstantial covering that, because I believed it to be as substantial as Yahweh, caused me pain. Yet even in the Veil there is a facet of Light, so how could there be shadow?

I will never move forward in Yahweh if I do not remove this covering, for there are infinite Veils. There are so many facets of Yahweh that we haven't explored yet, so many colors the eye has not yet seen! We will never run out of Veils.

And yet, none of these Veils have coverings if we can trust Yahweh, if we, in our minds, can let go of the need to know what's beyond the Veil and the feeling of loss that we associate with it and realize that Yahweh is all that there is and He is showing us more of Himself through the Veil. We can then embrace the Veil for what it Really is... or Who it Really is... Yahweh Himself.

Recently we had an eclipse. Over 90% of the sun was veiled from us in this eclipse, and yet where I live, the 8.5% of the sun that was left to us shone clearly as the day. We were warned that at no point during the eclipse, except the moment of totality, could we take our eclipse glasses off and look at the sun. And even in totality there was the light of the sun's atmosphere... the corona. The corona that we can never see unless the sun is Veiled for a time.

And the Son eclipsed in part still shines in full. And in every facet of Reality, Yahweh is all that there is.

Why Creation Isn't Waiting For You to Rule and Reign

There's this idea that creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their places and make the world what it needs to be, this idea that some day out there Yahweh will come back and take us to Heaven and reign from His Throne. Once we remember sovereignty and that we are One with Yahweh, we realize that we are the ones sitting on this throne with Yahweh. We also need to remember that time and eternity are One. Time is the instrument of Our growth, and We actually use it to grow eternity. Once we realize these two things, we can see that We are sovereign in our own lives and ruling and reigning from this throne right now. The instrument of Our dominion is Our choices. This is what Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 3 where he talks about how we each choose what materials to build our lives with. Some choose jewels, some choose clay. I, as the sovereign in my own life, get to decide what materials to build my life with. However, I cannot judge another's life. As each of u

How the Grinch Didn't Steal Anything

You know how the Grinch tried to stop Christmas from coming, and yet it came anyway? Nothing he did could stop Christmas, whether it be taking the traditions, the decorations, the gifts. He took away the familiar and the sacred, but those silly little Whos were able to recognize Christmas when it came anyway, though it had a different form than maybe it had had in the past. What is Christmas, anyway? We all know the story of how Yahweh sent His Son to the Earth as the greatest gift of all for mankind. He sent Him completely, not reserving or holding anything back, and no matter how King Herod or circumstances tried to keep Him from coming, He came anyway, in a place and form that nobody expected a King to come, let alone the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the world. How many people try to stop the Love of Yahweh from overtaking them in their lives? For whatever reason--usually some form of fear or a misunderstanding that can manifest in anger or resentment--they flee from the Love

The Seven Circles of Katalambano

Katalambano is a Greek word, which I found in my Bible and which you can examine more  here . Of course, Yahweh is all that there is, so some of the idea of overcoming needs to be rethought. What are we overcoming? We overcome the questioning (mentioned in the blog post "The Trinity of Faith") and answer yes and amen to Yahweh. Katalambano means two important things to me. Besides "overcome," it is also used to mean "lay hold of" or "attain." It is the word used in Philippians 3:12 when it talks about pressing on to "lay hold of" that for which Christ Yahshua "laid hold of" me. It is also used in John 1:5 where it talks about the light shining in the darkness and the darkness did not "overcome," or in some versions "comprehend" it. It is through katalambano that we grow our Promise, attain a new portion of it, complete our creation. Everything that exists is 3, 7, and 12, so you might call this the se
