​The Path to the force of nature

 
            I’ve been embracing the concept of understanding spiritual principles through the topic of using, The Force; thus, a mindset of a universal consciences of collective human will. However, there is a single negative philosophy that can kill this belief system cold. It is already part of the dark side of seeing reality. It roots with the characteristics of fear, doubt, worrying, and close mind thinking. This philosophy is pessimistic thinking towards our outcome of humanity. For decades and longer people wrap their minds around a destructive ending of this world here as we know it; thus, the Earth. They’ve used scriptures to create an illustration of judgement which condemned humanity. We need to have more of an optimistic way of looking at the future. This world (Earth) is not going to end in Hellfire, doomsday, destructive judgement. God will restore the Earth to be as He saw it to be. That’s God’s nature. He is a good and merciful God. Although He promises justice a dark ending only glorifies Satan and ultimately gives The Devil the victory.
            “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!’ declares the Lord. ‘Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people. Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care for them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done.’ Declare the Lord. I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,’ declares the Lord.’ The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’”
Jeremiah 23:1-5
            I see, read, and know the Book of Revelation. There are three points which I like to express concerning this book in the Bible. First, much like Song of Song which we know illustrates a concept of sex in God’s Word, Revelation leaves a lot to understand after it is already read. It reveals an evolution of the future whereby when the Season comes and the words are in present tense, the depth may still be too vast to grasp. Yes, I have a working knowledge focusing on the return of Christ. Nevertheless, I express myself as a student of Jesus’ testimony on a lifetime journey towards the knowledge of Him. Not an expert who claims to totally grasp the subject.
            Second, the Book of Revelation deals with prophecy, whereby you may hear a lot of scholars claim the Book of Daniel to be a good requisition book to read before trying to interpret the scriptures written by Apostle John in Revelation. I happen to challenge that thought. I feel the Book of Jeremiah is a better book to grasp before entering the Book of Revelation because the Book of Jeremiah gives us an accurate illustration of the ending of the nation of Israel; thus, how the original church ended. This gives us a clearer vision of God’s heart and His unchanging nature towards how His will brings the testimony of His son who represent the presence church through His body within our present age. This church is destined to end with a wedding between Jesus and the church.
            Third, although the Book of Revelation definitely illustrates a battle, chapter 22 verse 17, four verses from the end of the Bible, it reads:
“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who thirst come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.’
This is clearly a positive outcome to all who are welcomed to come into the Spirit. Consequently, this book also dances around the concept of a wedding; the Bride of Christ (the Church) into marriage with Jesus. As we know here on Earth only a few positive ceremonies are still religiously ordain as being an assertive, attractive image within our Christian culture. There is baptism, the Lord’s Supper along with Easter celebration, plus, Christmas celebration and then we have weddings. The ceremony in contrast with another service in our religious sector of our community which gives us the ultimate outcome of life is the funerals. The Book of Revelation waltzes through the funeral and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ whereby we see the destruction of death within the battle of good and evil. Nevertheless, a ceremony of a wedding is weaved through these scriptures giving us a more positive image of hope to look forward to as God brings His world into judgement.
            Giving this insight, I feel it is clear not to see such a dark outcome ending humanity. Also, I know from personal experiment the pessimistic mindset of seeing the concept of Armageddon is damaging towards our faith. It does not free our mind to embrace the power we have through the mindset of a universal consciousness; thus, the Force. We should be more optimistic in our view of determining the bigger picture of reality. We should start sharing the vision of goodness within the good nature of God, the merciful, unconditional loving, graceful and omnipotent powerful characteristics of our mighty God.

Becoming Aware of God's Force

​Becoming Aware of God’s Force

 
            Do we all have a conscience? Well, I can argue against this point. I believe we all were meant to have a conscience. However, for a reason known as evil, some people, I believe, have sear their conscience. They have become numb to feeling the proper morality of right and wrong. When one commits a murder, or becomes a serial killer and repeats committing murder several , they lose proper human touch to how to process their feelings properly. When one molests a victim or then becomes a serial rapist one becomes numb and does not process properly their sexual desire and/or intimacy with another human being in right manner.
            A conscience is nature way of allowing humans to judger their behavior. This is a part of human creation which separate us from the rest of the animal kingdom. The wildlife or species throughout the Earth, does not live in a moral of law, courts, rules, discipline, or judgments outside their natural animal instincts. In other words, animals do not actually judge right and wrong, however, humans do. This concept of humanity ties our species together in a state above all others. Us as a species unified in the same moral of right & wrong forms a universal conscience.
“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Iseral after that time, ‘declares the Lord. I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,” because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,’ declares the Lord. ‘For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
                                                                                                                                                Jeremiah 32: 33 & 34a
            This concept of consciousness was designed by God and part of His plan for creation. Becoming aware of this concept introduce us to a higher plain of reasoning and lifestyle. The method for us to process this lifestyle and embracing this level of consciousness is through reading God’s Word and understanding the scriptures.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”- II Timothy 3: 16 & 17
            God is an everlasting presence within creation. Our ability to become aware of this presence give us insight to see eternally. Our willingness to do what it takes to make this connection forms our attitude towards spirituality. Our ability to tap into universal consciences enhance our ability to reason through the forces of nature.

​Being Aware of the Force of God

 
            You know what you’re suppose to do. You can see the difference between right and wrong. But you’re stiff-neck. We’re all slightly stubborn, not wanting to always do the right thing. Does this make us evil? Is this the reason we should consider the core of our being evil? I don’t believe so. In fact, I will go as far as to say that I see the core of our humanity as good. However, we all are capable of sin.
“… for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”- Romans 3:23
In this nature, we can see that we are wrong. In a court of law, we as humans will be found guilty. Yet, in the root of our creation God saw that we were worth saving. Thus, He foreseen our essence of being good or able to become good.
            Why is this a clear conclusion? Because God is good. His nature, perfect will, overall being is good. And that which offspring from God is good. We are created after His image.
“Then God said, Let us make mankind, in our image, in our likeness, so God created mankind in his own image in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:26).
 It’s for this reason He was willing to sacrifice His only son to redeem us from sin.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”- John 3:16
In one of my previous articles, I pointed out knowing God through the returning of Jesus Christ (thus, Revelations) as being a spiritual connection to our universal force or an universal consciences. How does one be in contact with this force or universal consciences when it comes to knowing the Holy Spirit? We must meditate or mentally focus on His Word. God’s Words is God revealing His being. When we read, study, and engulf ourselves with the scriptures. We become aware of His Will in our lives, plus, in this world around us. We begin to learn how to communicate with God through understanding God’s Word. When one prays, they commune to this force of the universe. Conversation with God seems dilettante to one who has not recognized the important of knowing God.
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God”- I Corinthians 1:18
Nevertheless, the reasoning to reach and touch a loving God is keen to the children of God and prestige to our salvation. This is a priority to people who find worshipping God as a part of their lives and reason for being here.
