what is real, what is practical, what is radical

Step back and look at it in the light of what is practical and what is cool ('cool' as a standard of what is not 'off'). The language of theology and Church Christianity is not cool. It's also not practical.

What is important? Regeneration. Beyond that just simply learning the Bible, but regeneration is regeneration, able to happen to one without alot of understanding of the Bible itself. (Though effected by the Living Word.) So what is practical beyond that? Well, a truly regenerate person will be a person who seeks understanding. Real understanding. And who comes to the question: But what am I actually to do? (The point of desiring the practical level.)

This will be a person far different from the new age types who use Work language as their play toy. For a regenerate person Work language is a very language of the Holy Spirit (I use the word 'very' in an old fashioned sense, but a 'true' language of the Holy Spirit). Without the Spirit you won't see what the Work is. You won't be able to do it.

Now, are there degrees in between? In between unregenerate new age fool and regenerate man who has connected? Probably. Certainly, there is always inbetween degrees; and they play out in recurrence (which is to say in a higher scale of time, not necessarily manifesting as a 'circle' you go 'round and 'round in). An overarching, living NOW where, in ways you can't perceive from a flesh, sensual perspective, you potentially change in all parts of your time. Including details that are set at birth.) But inbetween, though better than rank new age fool, is still dead. Regenerate is rare.

But let's say you are regenerate, and the Spirit has led you to the Work teaching, and you understand it and can do it. What is practical for you? Not the church Christian level. That is almost - certainly - an insult in a real way to the Spirit that led you to the Work teaching. You see the Work teaching as on-the-mark? Yes? You honestly look it over and just simply see it as on-the-mark? Then go with that.

Frankly, I've learned the language of theology and those boys are as confused as non-believers (I don't overstate). They have everything if regenerate, don't get me wrong, but they don't have understanding. The fact is: with the knowledge and understanding the Work gives me I can see more in exoteric theology than a Calvin, Owen, or Edwards could see (though they could get shoulder to shoulder with it, if not understand it totally).

So the language of theology is 'not cool'. It's dumb. Church language is 'unnatural' language. It's empty and lame and not cool. It's uttered in the very same dumb, conformist manner that 12 year olds utter the latest dumb slang phrase they pick up at school. (The '60s generation in America has been very good at keeping all the embarssing language they used in the '60s from being aired in the media. When you do actually hear a recording of some of it you both cringe in embarassment for them and laugh at them. Church language is like that. It's empty, asinine language. And it's disingenous. It spoken in a policing atmosphere. An "I'm saying the correct thing" atomosphere. It's sick. Dead.

Regeneration is real. Death is real. Two Kingdoms (Satan's and Christ's) is real. Increasing level of being (and hence developing your spiritual body) is real.

Life is real. Life at a higher level is similar to life now, but we do live in a fallen world, with fallen bodies, and a fallen natural environment all around us. The Truth is radical. The Truth of being created at a higher level, falling to a lower level, and climbing back up to our original level developing real consciousness, real will, and real understanding in the process, and becoming a real being rather than a mere created 'thing'. The Truth is radical. The promises of God are radical. Waking out of the sleep and illusion of this Kingdom of Satan is real and radical.

Church language and theology is empty and dead and, in a way, even worse than empty and dead. Sort of repulsive. It is used by the power of the Devil in people.

Engage and understand the raw material of the Bible and connect with the Spirit. That is different. That is radical. Developing real understanding of it doing that is real. New age fools and vain, prideful, self-willed dupes of the devil will read that and say: "Yes, it means what we want it to mean; what we see in it!" Of course that's nonsense. A regenerate person knows.

(Calling the Bible the 'raw material' is a subtle thing to do... "I'm engaging the raw material... Absorbing it. Meditating on it. Taking it all in. Making it a part of me. Making it me.")
