In the
World but
Not of It
For, "All
Flesh Is
Like Grass,
And All Its
Glory Like
The Flower
Of Grass. The
Grass Withers, And
The Flower
Falls Off,
But THE WORD
OF THE LORD
ENDURES
FOREVER."
1 Peter 1:24
So
the Jews
were saying,
"Surely He
will not
kill Himself,
will He,
since He
says, 'Where
I am going,
you cannot
come'?"
23
And He was
saying to
them, "You
are from
below, I am
from above;
you are of
this world,
I am not of
this world.''
John 8:
22-23
They are
from the
world and
therefore
speak from
the
viewpoint of
the world,
and the
world
listens to
them.
1 John 4:5
I wish I was
in Heaven.
There is
just too
much
suffering in
the world.
But when it
gets down to
it I am not
ready to go
because I
want
everyone to
go, not just
myself.
This is the
unselfish
vow of not
going to
heaven until
everyone is
also going.
The paradox
is that
everyone is
going who is
going and
those who
are lost in
ignorance
will never
go and will
be lost.
In the
middle are
those who
are
undecided or
caught up in
the world
and could go
either way.
There are
three types.
I can
connect and
vibrate with
most people
but those
deep in the
world of
ignorance I
don't try to
argue with
them because
no matter
how hard I
try they
will never
change or it
will take a
very long
time and
drain my energy in
the meantime.
All is
vanity in
the material
world,
because it
will pass
away.
So is it
vain to try
to keep your
body, hair
and facial
skin in good
condition?
No, because
while you
are in this
body this is
your form
that
reflects
your true
Form in
Heaven i.e.
the pleroma.
Your face
and body
form
reflects
into the
world a
message of
peace,
health and
friendliness
or sadness,
weakness and
indifference.
The body
weakens and
dies, how
fast depends
on how you
care for it,
just like an
automobile.
Suicide is
another form
of wanting
to leave the
world. The
cost of
suicide is
automatic
rebirth into
the material
world
because
murder is
murder and
you killed
your self,
so it is
never an
escape.
Euthanasia
can happen
in a
hospital or
if a person
slowly kills
themselves
by
overeating,
not
exercising,
smoking and
taking drugs
both
recreational
and
prescription.
Euthanasia
should be
replaced
with
Youthanasia
or caring
for yourself
so your body
stays young
allowing you
to be of
service to
the world.
Some people
say why not
have
expensive
cars and
luxury if
you want
since we are
going to die
anyway, just
live it up,
and enjoy
life.
All these
things take
a toll on
you, they
take a piece
of you, some
part of you
will be
thinking of
them or
worrying
about them.
The really
luxurious
life is
having so
few desires
and wants
that you are
content with
little in
life.
Some
nice clothes
nothing too
fancy like
designer
clothing, a
nice house
but not a
super
mansion and
just enough
good food.
Some extra
money for
books,
movies, tv
and your
done.
A car may be
needed for
work in some
places but a
large number
of people
don't need
them and use
public
transportation.
Driving is
stressful
and it takes
a toll on
your being
having to
always be on
the alert
for traffic
and
pedestrians.
Living
simply is
really the
lifestyle of
the rich (in
spirit) and
famous (well
known by
Christ).
The
homesteading
and prepper
movement is
the new back
to the land
movement
started in
the 60s.
Worldly
fame and
popularity
are so
ephemeral
like a
mirage in
the desert
so seemingly
real, but so
unlasting
and illusory.
Can money buy
happiness,
yes on a
limited
earthly
level, to
have
physical
comfort, but
in reality
the physical
is not
reliable and
is
impermanent.
Happiness
with a
capital H
can not be
bought with
money, it's
a gift given
freely by
Grace from
God, all you
need to do
is open your
heart and
accept it,
with tears
of joy
flowing from
your eyes.
You are a
Human Spirit
Being
emanated
spiritually
by God and
your true
home is
Spirit,
Heaven, Your
True Eternal
Home and
not the
ephemeral,
always
changing
material
world.
