It is important to recognize and understand what this phrase means. We are born in the image and likeness of God. That’s pretty amazing. So is God Human? Is God of this world? What does this mean?
Let’s start with ‘we are all part of one body.’ Does that then indicate we should all have the gifts of the other parts of the body? Being part of one body means we have each been given gifts of spirit we are meant to use in this lifetime. Does it mean we should all have all gifts of God and use all of them at once in one lifetime? No, we need not expect to have all gifts or that God gave us all gifts to use in one incarnation.
I do, unlike many Christians, know that we live more than one life. As we mature and grow from lifetime to lifetime, we do develop spiritual gifts. Even being an incredibly gifted musician, spiritual gifts don’t just drop on you out of nowhere. It comes from lifetimes of practice, and of course, could be the part of the spiritual body of God you were created out of.
In a world where movies, video games, and virtual reality take a large role in many lives, we began to see an unreal expectation, a lure of darkness to believe we can do all and be God.
I am reminded of my early studies in mystery schools in my 20’s where I remembered being able to move through walls and rocks. This was a skill developed in ancient Egypt and was an initiation. At 33, I went to India and learned about the 16 Siddhas, which were the practice human control over and in the elements. These included invisibility and levitation.
At this age, we are not dedicated or devoted to learning these human skills. I also think these are distractions because both the dark and light can gain power using these, but they do not focus on God.
Early on, I made a decision not to use my gifts for lower frequency activities. I sought to keep my gifts pure and in service to the mission of love/purity.
There are Christians who have accepted Christ into their lives and believe they will graduate from this world to a beautiful paradise. They believe their reward is in heaven and not on this earth. When they are no longer in a body, all the troubles of this earth will disappear and be fixed.
Some believe that they must walk their truth and faith every day. Wherever they are energetically and whoever they have shaped themselves into with God’s help is vital. That the kingdom of God is here, and now in this moment, not a reward to wait for death to deliver.
This song from my teen years has stayed with me:
They say I am a dreamer blind and cannot see,
That the principals I cling to, won’t stand reality.
Well if that’s what I am Lord, won’t you care for me?
I only want to be like to man of Galilee
I want to walk like; I want to talk like, I want to be like, the man of Galilee
I want to see, like I want to hear like, I want to be like the man of Galilee.
This song is an affirmation and a prayer; Lord, make me in your image in my daily choices. Help me to live as the man of Galilee has shown. I am deeply touched that even I could contribute to fine-tuning, and in several classes, I was able to make some improvements for both Jesus and Mother Mary with our Blueprint work. Jesus said these and even greater works than these you shall also do. It wasn’t magical. I am the one and only being who will ever perform great works and miracles, but from the Greatest God-man who ever walked the earth, we are commanded to grow, develop and do more. In his great and very short life, he issued a challenge to be and do greater things. This comes with discipline and preservice. It comes with intention and purpose-driven life.
None of us are meant to be GOD; we are meant to continue to raise our nature up to our God state and keep going! There are no shoulds. I know you follow me because you know it’s not just about having a religious path or even a spiritual path. It is about the journey we engage in and live/love into.
At times, it is hard to imagine, but heaven is here on earth; we hold heaven in our hearts and minds. Prayer, mediation, contemplation, and reading of scripture help us hear and be directed on our path to both being like God, living into our God potential, and experiencing heaving both on earth in our embodiment and out of the body as well.
