Essay 11- 2024 Worshiping God, Spirit, not Matter, or a Biological Human Body.

“But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. (John 4:24 New King James Version.)
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16 NKJV).
When you look into the mirror on that bathroom mirror, what do you see in that mirror?
Well, it is very obvious that you will see the image, the reflection of the outline of your human biological body. You will see the outline and details of your skin, your eyes, nose, lips, breasts, tits, penis, fingers, belly button, hair, and of course. A lot of people love their hair the most, I think.
And you think to yourself, either consciously or unconsciously that that is you, just like you think you might think that you know something about God, and what you worship as a God. Well, some of you might think or guess that you know something about God, Spirit. But that is not likely for many reasons. Mainly because you may think that you are made in the image and likeness of God as the biological body in the mirror, but you would be wrong about who you are as God, Spirit, see you. God, Spirit does not see billions upon billions of human biological human bodies. Period!
So then, what is the real you? Is it the image on the bathroom mirror on the bathroom wall? Or is it what is inside your consciousness, both as a biological human being and as different states of consciousness? If you take into consideration what is within side your own, individual state of human consciousness, then you might truthfully state to yourself that what is inside your own individual state of consciousness is more you than what your biological body is saying about you.
Come on, you know what I am stating as fact. It is not hard to figure out, is it? What you are as a state of human consciousness is way more important than what your biological body is saying about you.
Although each human being has its own distinct human biological body, they are all basically the same exact human biological body. On the other hand, each individual state of even the human consciousness can be and is very different in many regards. For the example of this essay, the question is whether you have a fleshly (sex) state of consciousness, or do you possess a pure spiritual state of consciousness even while you are still human? A very important point for this essay and your lives.
Let us be real here. The whole sex thing is really a mental dream world in which humans entertain in their minds more than they entertain in their individual biological bodies.
The same goes for all of the billions of human beings on planet Earth. Isn’t it true, really? Just like metal robots are basically the same no matter what robot you are looking at, just so when you look at human beings in general, no matter what color their skin, what color or style of their hair, or even if their teeth are whiter than the snow that falls towards Earth from the sky above us.
At least some of you must think to yourselves whenever you see someone, for example, ‘Can I trust that guy or gal.’ You might not even think it because you might not ever trust anyone at all, which might be a good idea most of the time. But at least some of you might ask yourselves, ‘What kind of person is that, sitting next to me on the subway, or at a checkout line in Walmart.’ Not what kind of body they possess, but what is inside their mind, inside their personal consciousness.
Isn’t it the same whenever you look at a picture of a famous man or woman who lived in the past before you were born? I am thinking more about the really famous and/or important people, not the common people who simply eat food, take a poop, or have sex because that is the only thing they know how to do at any point in their pathic existence. I bet that there are a lot of those types of people walking and living on planet Earth now. They wake up, fuck, eat, poop, fuck again. They do not have an intellectual mind.
While other people have to actually do things in their limited human lives and minds too. Other people even before the time of Jesus started to overcome their fleshly sense of life and living so they could slowly, bit by bit, have a spiritual state of consciousness compared to the fleshly skin, bone, blood, and even sex consciousness. For the record, sex will never help anyone get closer to God, Spirit.
That is the exact same for today’s world where people love watching porn, having sex, eating food, and taking a poop, until the day they die. They are happy living in the mental sex dream world of mental illusions because they think to themselves that is who they are as human beings. On the human level of existence, they think that they are simply biological bodies that need an endless amount of sex, no matter how they do it.
Then there are those other people who have overcome the sexual fleshly dream world of mental existence, either because they simply woke up out of it, or because they were looking for higher states of spiritual consciousness even as human beings. There are other reasons why people stop caring or even believing in the sexual fleshly mental dream world of existence, like their bodies simply stop working which means the fleshly mental dream world is simply gone for them.
Then there are those people who want to know something about God, the Spirit. Something that Jesus and other people in the Bible spoke about in various ways. I bet that most people over the last 2000 years do not even understand the messages and lessons that Jesus and Paul were actually talking and writing about back then in the old days in the old language. But that is ok, I am here to make it clear for you.
But some people get it. To walk in the Spirit means to walk on planet Earth as a spiritual consciousness as far as you or anyone can understand and comprehend the meaning of the words, ‘Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.’ It is truly amazing how many Christians only pick out the sentences that will make them happy enough to believe that what they believe is God like.
Even more than those above words, there is the first record in the first chapter of Genesis which explains the spiritual creation versus the material and physical record of creation in the second record of creation normally termed the Adam and Eve story of the material Lord God who made a material creation of sex, the serpent, the killing of Abel, and on and on and on.
A lot of so-called Christians like to combine those two records of creation into one creation to make up an excuse for claiming that they are made in the image and likeness of God, Spirit. But that is the lie of the serpent, even if there is no talking serpent in nature anywhere on Earth. When you read the second record of creation in the first chapter of Genesis of the Bible, you will notice that uses the phrase Lord God a lot, to mean the material concept of God within the human mind and thought about what God, Spirit is when in fact it was and still is, a lie from the talking serpent within your mind.
The same thing could be stated about the man Jesus who lived over 2000 human years ago. Have any of you ever wondered to yourselves what was located within his consciousness if you ever met him in person? Do you think he actually considered himself only a human being walking around doing supernatural stuff? Sure, he had a biological body, but he also possessed a spiritual consciousness even though he was not God as many Christian religions believe even today. How silly a concept.
Jesus possessed a human biological body, but he also possessed a spiritual consciousness. He was not God as many so-called Christians falsely claim he was because they are living and believing in a one-dimensional state of consciousness whereas Jesus was living within his own consciousness as a multi-dimensional consciousness which was applied to his human life and for all those people around him.
What was within the consciousness of Jesus if you actually met him in real life, if you could have touched his skin, washed his hair, ate food with him? If Jesus had looked at himself in a mirror if he had a mirror to look into while he was living on planet Earth, what do you think Jesus would have seen and worshipped, especially compared to those human beings who are living on planet Earth today looking into their many types of mirrors? He most definitely would not have worshipped his human body.
Many human beings, or actually most human beings, look into their mirrors and they see themselves and think of themselves solely biological human bodies of an outline of skin, hair, tits and ass, a penis, muscles, bones, etc. A lot of humans love their biological bodies especially when they are young and pretty. But after decades of living on planet Earth, they realized that they were living in a mental fantasy world of youth. When pretty people get old, their mental concepts of themselves and their bodies change.
And then to top that off, they falsely think that what they see in the mirror is actually the ultimate reality of who they really are as human beings, so how could they possess a spiritual consciousness at all, they might think to themselves? How can a biological human body be conscious of a true spiritual selfhood? It can't because to be conscious of your true spiritual selfhood takes place in consciousness, not in a body.
That is what they are conscious of as human beings. Do you think that Jesus saw and thought of himself as simply a biological body of skin, bones, blood, hair, eyes, ears, etc.? Or do you think that if Jesus ever saw himself in the mirror on the wall, he saw himself as something completely different than a biological body. He overcame his own biological body long before he was nailed to a cross of wood within his individual consciousness. He wasn't God, but he was God-like within his own individual consciousness.
Personally, when I look at my bathroom mirror and I see my naked body, I can almost be on the verge of giggling at that ‘living’ thing in the mirror, because no matter how much I exercise, I will never be as muscular or as strong as so many of the other creatures who walk on this planet. I will never be as muscular or as strong as a tiger or lion. Nor as a monkey, ape, gorilla, orangutan, etc. It will never happen. Nor do I care if it ever happens even though I exercise more than most people of any age.
But unlike those creatures with very big and strong muscles, I can officially possess different and higher states of consciousness within my brain and mind as normal states of human intelligence in general. To top that normal realm of human intelligence that other muscular and stronger creatures can’t obtain within their brains and minds, I can ascend within my consciousness to higher realms of existence, to overcome the mental delusion that I am only a simple biological state of existence.
Now, it might be possible that all animals possess some realm of transcendent state of consciousness in their own way, but not like my state of consciousness, nor that of other people who have different states of human consciousness like those people who study music and mathematics, not to mention the cosmic and atomic states of consciousness and awareness.
When those types of creatures or animals look in a mirror, they probably see the image that is being reflected back to their eyes, and they probably think to themselves, ‘That is me.’ Well, my dear readers, when I look into a mirror for whatever reason, I think to myself, that is not the image and likeness of God, Spirit. That is the image and likeness of matter, or in this case, skin, bones, blood, and even the brain beneath the skull. Me and other people really like using our brains too, even if it is work.
I actually know that I am more than a human biological body of skin, bones, blood, organs, and other stuff. When I even slightly consider the biological body that is normally considered as myself, as a human being, as the only state of existence, I absolutely know that it is wrong, from God, the pure realm of Spirit’s standpoint of seeing me as a spiritual image and likeness, which might seem really weird from a one-dimensional state of a religious state of mind. The religious mind will never understand Spirit, God.
But within a multi-dimensional state of existence or consciousness, I and you too, if you actually understood enough and developed your individual state of consciousness to understand those other possibilities of consciousness, can see yourself as a spiritual state of consciousness that is separate from the biological body, but which can be experienced even within the human realm of existence.
Think what that would mean to your own individual human lives. Instead of seeing and identifying yourselves as a biological body that came from sex, and then having sex all of your human lives all the while thinking to yourselves that is what you are supposed to do all of your human lives until the day you die, you should begin seeing your true spiritual selfhood as God, Spirit, as an idea of the divine Mind, not an image of the human mind.
You should start seeing yourselves as an idea of Spirit, as a purely spiritual realm of existence, not a material state of existence. You should start seeing yourselves as an unchangeable, sinless identity of Soul, not trapped within a biological body with five physical senses. You should start seeing yourselves as an idea that is already at one with the impersonal Principle that is God, not at one with a little tiny human ego.
You should start seeing yourselves as a spiritual identity that is already at one with Life, the eternal being, not a biological thing that is born and then dies. You should start seeing yourselves as an idea of Truth or divine consciousness, not a mortal mental delusional dream world state of consciousness. You should start seeing yourselves as a perfect spiritual image of Love which means that your true spiritual selfhood is perfect in the Mind of God no matter what is happening on Earth in your human lives, which means that all of your human imperfections are nothing to God almighty.
I bet many, if not all older people realize something really weird when they look at the bathroom mirror. At least for me anyway, but I bet that older people after a certain age, they look in the mirror and think to themselves, ‘I am the same person I was as a state of identity. The only that is changing is my body because it is breaking down because of old age or sickness or whatever.
But is that the real you, even in the human realm of existence? Or is it one big lie about your true identity as a spiritual identity in a different realm of existence? Humanly, life is tough for so many reasons. Human beings are born into a materialistic planet and human state of existence and there seems to be no way out of it, except by death. Right. Day after day, life is really a struggle for so many people, especially poor people all over the globe. It is like some people are actually born into hell before they even leave the womb. No, some people are actually born into an earthly hell before they are born.
A few days ago, I was walking down a sidewalk in the very tiny, tiny, small town I currently live in at the moment. Two young gentlemen were wearing their black suits, white shirts, and black ties. They looked bored as they said hi to me. I was not bored, but I always love talking to people who are willing to listen to my sales pitch about God, the Bible, lessons of life, and especially, consciousness and supernatural stuff in general. They were nice listeners. I hope they learned a few new ideas besides their Mormon religious beliefs in believing in the guy who started the Mormon religion.
You must understand my dear readers, that I am not like those young anymore like those Mormons. I have not only studied the Bible in its true spiritual meaning, but I have lived a human life where I have experienced so many 'supernatural' experiences of my own that I can absolutely tell you that there is so much more to life and living than this human biological body has to offer. Jesus knew it too.
Of course, unlike those two Mormons, I am never trying to sell anyone anything, especially for money although I have a new joke which goes like this. ‘I own a brand-new briefcase that accepts cash.’ I would like to think that I actually giving something way better than anything that money could buy.
Something which is something deeper and more profound than all of the religions in the world, namely, a very different perspective regarding many things that are completely misunderstood by millions and maybe even billions of human beings in general, but especially by so-called Christians who even though they try very hard to believe certain things about their lives and their religions, they are missing something very important points and facts about God and Jesus and even their own human lives too.
Many people worship the personal Jesus who was created with the human biological body of skin, bones, blood, organs, etc. because they think that simply because Jesus performed a whole bunch of healings and other stuff, he was God in the flesh. But seriously, Jesus just knew more than normal people about God, and evil. Many people listen to preachers too, while they sit in their preacher’s churches thinking that those biological bodies with limited brains know all of the answers about God and human existence.
How in God’s name could a limited human brain with five physical main senses really know anything about God, Spirit? It is hard enough for that limited human brain to know anything about nature, human life in general, physics, music, mathematics, astrophysics, and even the cosmic universe. In the Bible, there is a phrase that states, “Only the spirit of God can know the spirit of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:11.)
‘No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. (New Living Translation) (1 Corinthians 2:11.)
In other words, only a spiritual consciousness can know the Spirit of God as a state of existence and as a state of consciousness. Preachers by themselves can never know the spirit of God or even the Spirit that is God. They are in the wrong state of consciousness for so many reasons.
Do those listeners who listen to preachers, and do those people who believe in the personal Jesus and who even read ‘his’ words in the Gospels, miss a few or even more basic facts and statements that are more important than his healing works or feeding the hungry, etc.
How can normal human beings who preach the Gospel know anything about God, Spirit, if they really believe that they are biological bodies and brains that pretend to know anything real about the Bible or God, Spirit? Preachers are living in a state of consciousness with a one-dimensional state of existence so they can't know anything about God, Spirit if they still think they are only a biological body of skin, bones, blood, organs, etc That is the complete opposite of what Jesus knew while he was on Earth.
Jesus overcame the world, the flesh, the devils in the world. He overcame the world of mental human illusions and mental delusions, of matter, of the five physical senses as a state of ultimate reality. Jesus possessed a spiritual state of consciousness, and you can too my dear readers. It is not hard at all, but it does take time to develop a multi-dimensional state of consciousness that understands and lives in the realm of Spirit. But a human being must overcome the limited belief that he or she is only a human body.
Do preachers teach what Jesus taught to others around him? Do preachers actually know anything important about the Bible, and about life, death, and the afterlife? Or are they simple babblers? Babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, week after week, month after month, year after year with the same empty words which in reality never help anyone, physically, mentally, spiritually.
Do any old-time or modern-day preachers teach only what Jesus said as stated in the Bible’s Gospels? Or do they add on a lot of un-gospel words about how to improve your life, or how to avoid hell or how to get to heaven, or even how to make a lot more money because their personal concept of God is based on money because they need more and more money to pay for higher taxes each year?
I would go so far as to state that none of the modern-day preachers or even old-time preachers ever actually taught the most important lesson (s) that Jesus might have said and taught to his students and other people, like the beginning quote, “But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. He never stated that worshipping materially is the way to God, Spirit.
For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 New King James Version.
While most preachers are teaching a whole bunch of superficial stuff like heaven and hell, they are actually missing or forgetting one of the most important statements in the Bible’s Gospels and in the whole Bible altogether, which is to worship in the spirit and the truth within consciousness, not outwardly or materially.
In essence, preachers talk about everything that Jesus probably did not talk about, except when they are using his words, if indeed they are his words they are using, to relate to things that Jesus would not have cared about either in this world or the next world. Preachers like to add on a lot of meaningless stuff in their own words like they actually know something about Jesus, or God, Spirit, which are two different things by the way.
Maybe one of the main reasons why old-time and modern-day preachers do not ever mention the above quote is because to their dismay, confusion, and ignorance, they do not know what the above quote means, humanly, spiritually, metaphysically, or in any other regard. Yet, those words came out of Jesus’s mouth if the Gospels were true in any regard.
Amazing and lucky for the human species or at least for those who want to get a hint of what the word Spirit, God means in its very deep spiritually and metaphysically, not humanly, or at least in a limited form, a lady spent 40 years or so of her life trying to understand what the word, Spirit, God actually means.
That lady was Mary Baker Eddy who wrote a very good book titled, 'Science and Health,' which people have wrongly mistaken for that lady who stated that you should never go to the hospital or doctors to get healed from anything physically wrong with you, which by the way is something she never stated.
What that book is teaching to its readers is something about God, Spirit, in different levels of existence and consciousness. Jesus lived on different levels of existence and consciousness too. Any reader of the Gospels should realize that Jesus did not live solely as a biological body nor as God. He stated he was not God, and he liked to use the word Father too.
People including myself have studied the book, 'Science and Health, and the Bible the way they were intended to be studied, as true symbolic metaphysical and spiritual representations of what God, Spirit is, with the spirit of truth, and not as a material human history book. I am going to state a few facts about that book, even though in some ways it is outdated, the truths she wrote about are not outdated at all.
One of the main points of the whole book and the Bible is that God is Spirit, not matter. The writers of the Bible were not writing a history book about human events in human history. Mary Baker Eddy was not writing about religion in any way. She was not writing about physics, the cosmic universe, money, or even earthly life as a main point. She was writing as a spiritual metaphysician, about Spirit, God. She plainly stated that Spirit is God, not matter. Jesus proved it in many ways including overcoming the belief in death because as the Christ consciousness, he had already overcome death before he was on the cross. Still, being nailed to a cross had to be a really horrible experience for anyone.
First of all, in very practical terms, the written so-called material and human history of the Bible is so limited in real terms that nobody in their correct mind could ever believe that the limited words and stories in the Bible could even be completely true as a historical record because human history over 2000 years ago is very hidden, complex, and detailed that again, in very real practical terms, there is just not enough information in the Bible to allow people, readers, researchers, and even religious people to understand the life and times of the Bible alone, even if they do understand a lot about it in general.
But what is the real point of the Bible? Is it to understand material religious history, historical peoples or cultures, or is it to understand something about Spirit, and spiritual history? The same question applies to each individual and collective history. It applies to Jesus and his life mission too. People are so concerned about the personal Jesus that they are missing any more important points he was trying to teach, like, 'God is Spirit and those who worship it must worship in spirit and truth.'
There is plenty of human history to learn about, but what needs to be learned is something about the spiritual history and structure of both the Bible and the book, ‘Science and Health,’ by Mary Baker Eddy. People like John W. Doorly and Max Kappeler wrote many books on the topic of the Science of the Bible and the Science of Spirit or God.
‘The spirit of truth.’ Not even the Spirit of Truth. Is the spirit of truth something human, material, physical, or something up there in outer space that we are to ascend to find God and heaven?
Or is the ‘spirit of truth’ a phrase to represent a complete spiritual consciousness versus a biological, material, physical, state of consciousness?
To worship in the spirit and truth. Jesus never started to worship by going to a church or listening to a preacher talking every Sunday to tell you about what he thinks the Bible states or what he thinks about it.
What is the real point of all of this, ‘Worship in spirit and truth.’ words?
As if you have not guessed it by now, the magical word is consciousness. Those who walk in the spirit and truth are those people who walk in the spiritual and truthful consciousness which is God, Spirit, and Truth.
Jesus did not walk on planet Earth as simply a biological body. He did walk on planet Earth with a biological body, but he was the Christ consciousness in action, as a human being. You too, can walk on Earth with the Christ Consciousness.
I have actually died and was so close to death so many times that I believe that I have a message to spread to the whole world. Partly because of the books that John W. Doorly wrote on the Bible that can only be purchased in England I believe. And the works by Max Kappeler which can be found online. I am writing these free online essays for the common person to read, to learn, to understand very deep, profound spiritual and metaphysical concepts that every human being needs to know before they die.
The current and future survival of the human species is not dependent on believing a bunch of old-time religious mental delusions about Jesus returning to planet Earth because Jesus is never going to return to Earth. There is no Jesus somewhere that is either going to destroy or save the human species from the evils and dangers facing the self-destruction of the human species.
What Jesus did state, even though I wasn't there to hear it, was that he was going to send another Comforter, ... even the Spirit of truth, which proceeded from the Father, he shall testify of me' or of the Christ Consciousness. (Paraphrased. John 15.26.)
What is needed for the survival of the human species is the spirit of truth within each individual consciousness if you really want to find it, become it, and change the world for the better.
