Thanks a ton,John....

You are RADICALLY- ROOTED in CHRIST..... :srr.gif

As long as we conceive of ourselves as separate,isolated individuals, our thought processes will never be truly logical because they will continue to spring from some bogus illogical mistaken premise..... and when we get lovingly tossed into the concrete places of co-habitational existence we need to have that pure rich sound that ONLY a 100% Silver Dollar has..... they say it is as easy as pie to distinguish the difference.... so seven-times-refined silverados....that's us,bro....and ABBA gets all the praise for such excellent alchemy.

I have been trying to express in a loon's legion of clumsy ways that until we EXPERIENCE ourselves as integrated members of a single, interwoven, biological and spiritual family, everything we think,say or do, no matter how well metaphysically motivated, will be subject to fundamental distortion. Before we are capable of true creative prophetic LIFE-release thought, we MUST EXPERIENCE OURSELVES in the context of the REDEEMED WHOLE.

There is NO ILLUSION ..... so no useful point in EMPTYING the 'contents of consciousness'..... in fact, is that not a sad DELUSION? No, why not let Abba's Spirit heal and harmonize us into our TRUE IDENTITY'S CONSISTENCY [remember in Colosians...it says that EVERYTHING consists of Christ...is held together by Christ....and we are exhorted to HOLD FAST TO CHRIST!}....let the Spirit ORGANize our consciousness, and let us NOT rummage viciously through it looking for irredeemable junk-contents to capture us into some fallacious-crusader mode of deflection and death.

I sympathize with those who feel that 'first things first'.... get rid of the wrong selfness..... then one is free to do glorious exploits in purity..... and such weaning/corrective phenomena are to be noted and accepted BUT not at the expense of being like a dog chasing its tail.... well, maybe we all must have such canine seasons to analogize us into REST....:rollin
