When you think about it, isn't that quote what every allegorizing, spiritualizing antiliteralist does? Not just the cults...the reformed, preterists, theological liberals, etc. It all comes down to what they choose to make the Bible mean to and for themselves, instead of what it actually says.

Still killing the message with the letter 2Cor 3:6, the only cult is the indoctrinated christian who thinks he knows but doesn't really know the one he preaches about, kinda like the mystery you all pretend to know, and it's still a mystery to the mid acts actors who await Jesus to return when they are told where he is by the mystery, great sitcom material, though tending these truman show sheep is like herding cats. Maybe Donald Trumps on fox news best go worship your kingdoms leader:dunce:

Law of faith all-inclusive.......
Law of faith all-inclusive.......
Indeed,...the very light, essence and consciousness of the infinite indwells us, and so thereby we are potentialized to express individually the image and likeness of divinity, for we are his offspring.
By the law of faith (creative conscious intention/visualization/affirmation)...we transform our lives and vision by the renewing of our minds. All life is a creative reflection of awareness mirroring itself, and bringing into existence those images mind creates for itself.

Wonderful interview
As some may remember, one of my older charter threads was 'NDEs (near death experience) and the Afterlife'...which is no longer extant, a pretty large size thread covering all aspects of the subject, much from a Spiritualist perspective as many NDEs do confirm continued consciousness after death, or at least consciousness apart from the body.
In any case her story supports that reconnecting to Source and one's authentic 'self', one's true identity in God, the heart of one's true being, as love...is the essential way of return to wholeness, since in love there is no fear, and love is the fulfilling of the law of life. In love there is no sin, division or discord...only wholeness (holiness),....space and time are also transcended...in the kingdom of heaven. This 'heaven' is in your own heart. You are the temple of God. The kingdom is within, but also without, since Spirit is omnipresent.
Namaste

Some basic metaphysics for ya.......
Some basic metaphysics for ya.......
All life is an adventure in consciousness. All information/knowledge/revelation is being processed within your own 'mind' subjectively....moment to moment. Any 'story' that your mind considers, or relates to....is engaged in 'subjectivity'....and is further modified/conditioned by 'translation' and 'interpretation' of that story. This is how the mind operates, and this includes all its perceptual informing and RELATING,....including your 'relationship' with 'God' or those images, concepts, feelings you assume are 'God' or 'divine'. You are engaging your mind in this great Sea of universal consciousness when you read or study any religious story, historical account, myth or whatever. Its all 'God' (the energy and light of consciousness) really, inter-relating thru so many individualized units of consciousness, inter-facing thru millions of different personalities (soul entities). That is all that is going on. With this greater universal understanding of 'consciousness' being the substrate and 'ground' in which all life is relating....you broaden your horizons and context of how you 'relate' to the whole.
Before just assuming a deeper esoteric or allegorical approach to religious writings is 'vain imaginations'.....note that 'imagination' itself is a faculty that allows the mind to enter into the realm of 'God', who is infinite intelligence, universal consciousness. The imagination is the creative-medium of all that exists, since all was born or IMAGINED in the MIND of God before anything came into being. Imagination is also the field where 'faith' is born and 'imaged', so that out of the universal substance of Spirit, all forms derive their reality, and are pictured out into the visible world, as CREATION. - so, a religion without having this inner mystical aspect to it, is like having a pretty religious outfit, robes or garb....it may have plenty of deocorations on it, but it has no soul-essence, depth or essential value. The whole of reality must be included, the objective and subjective, since both make up the whole of reality, each reflecting the dual aspects of the Infinite ONE. (the inner and outer).
Vain imaginings? Perhaps the one without spiritual insight assumes such. To a DEITY that is INFINITE INTELLIGENCE,....and is pure SPIRIT-energy, being truly infinite, incorporeal, immortal and omnipresent (unbound or limited to space or time)...it would be a 'vain assumption' to prescribe or limit the radical subjectivity of Consciousness, to a carnal, corporeal, finite form, concept or image. While images and forms are born out of the imageless and formless, the images and forms are expressions and products of the Consciousness that creates them. All is born from that which is unborn, all comes from one invisible SOURCE.

Much religious writing cannot be wholly and rightfully understood or interpreted APART from subjective, figurative interpretations, and this must include the 'Bible'. If you assume a wholly literal reading of the OT especially, then you must deal with the problems, limitations and asburdities that a literal assumption of some texts impose or imply. With this, you would have to whole heartedly accept blood sacrifices, slavery, killing people over certain transgressions of law, ceremonial circumcision, wholesale genocide, and other atrocities,....in the name of God. Remember, spiritual things are spiritually discerned,...so you cannot just accept a literal reading of sacred texts, since these will be subject to proper rendering thru right translation and interpretation in their proper CONTEXTS. And that's just for starters.......
And don't forget,...you cant put the INFINITE in a 'box'. - its impossible.

Thanks, Joel S. Goldsmith founded the 'Infinite Way' Teachings,...some good stuff there. I need to get the cosmic café dialogues and resource sharings going, but have been busy with a recent move, and am now settling into a new place
Blessings in the Skekinah Light.
