New Work doctrine - bodies

April 14, 2023

I GET THE MESSAGE. WHAT THE ANGEL TOLD ME. WORK EFFORTS MUST COMMENCE AND CONTINUE. THROUGH ALL THE FRICTION. BE A WISE SOLDIER. ON THE SPIRITUAL BATTLEFIELD. THE ANTS UNDER S's WINDOW, AND THE HOMELESS JUNKIES THAT APPEARED ACROSS THE STREET ARE THE STARK MESSAGE. THOSE JUNKIES (GOD HELP THEM) HAD ZERO REASON TO ENCAMP THERE WHEN A PARK WAS YARDS DOWN THE STREET. THEY ENCAMPED THERE BECAUSE THEY ARE A SYMBOLIC MESSAGE, AND.......A STERN ONE. 


Also, my spiritual body acts in the spiritual world while I am conscious here in this world IF I'm in the 3rd or 4th state. Just as, in a reverse way, in an alcohol or drug blackout my physical body acts while my consciousness is in the head-on-pillow state, i.e. the 1st state of consciousness.


To fill out one of the subtle subjects above...


Just as you can be in the 1st state of consciousness (head-on-pillow sleep) and not be conscious of your physical body doing things (like in an alcohol or drug induced blackout, or in the phenomenon of sleep walking) it may follow that you can be in the 3rd or 4th state of consciousness and not be conscious of your spiritual body doing things (like being used by God on the spiritual battlefield). Ideally I suppose we would want to become  conscious of the spiritual realm, but that may not even be practical if you think about it. To use a different analogy it might be like a person on an LSD trip who jumps out of a window thinking he can fly. I.e. we have to stay conscious in our physical body just for self-preservation reasons. 


Paul's example of digging up a stump (I think that was his example, if not it's similar enough) can be used. Imagine digging up a tree stump while in the 3rd or 4th state of consciousness. That activity keeps your physical body there and active while your spiritual body is active doing something (who knows what) in the spiritual realm.


So, you have to find a project, to distill your attention and give boundary to your physical action, as you stay in the 3rd state of consciousness or higher. 


Perhaps my diligent reading of Brothers Karamazov, in a different scenario, attracted that angel into my presence. 


But I'm reminded of my self-remembering efforts that were like defined projects because I was walking a definite course which had a beginning, middle, and end. We need that defined project to distill our attention and boundary out physical action. The spirit then is set loose, though in communion with God and used by God. 


I was thinking, what if the Vikings did this in their crossings of the North Sea in those exposed boats. Instead it was their spiritual bodies in those boats that could actually raid a shore, get treasure, and bring it back. Meanwhile the actual physical bodies of the Vikings were engaged in some group ritual in the forest.
