You are a Divine Being Mr. Mixer with potential and power beyond your wildest dreams as we all are.
You are a good man Mr. Mixer, but what if there is more to the Big Picture ?
This world of duality that we live in can appear to be very harsh and unfair, (the starving children, poverty and disease, etc, etc) but it is a perfect environment for Soul Evolution.
We have both sides of the coin here with everything in between and in respect of Soul Growth it's design is excellent.
Can you appreciate how very important all the hard times and all the good times are so crucial to our growth .... Do you think it would be a correct thing to do if we were to deprive a Soul from this growth ?
The lives we experience are dictated by Divine Providance.
What is the meaning of divine providence?
Traditional theism holds that God is the creator of heaven and earth, and that all that occurs in the universe takes place under Divine Providence — that is, under God's sovereign guidance and control. According to believers, God governs creation as a loving father, "working all things for good".
...... "working all things for good", of our Soul Evolution in the big picture of Eternity.
What if you were granted the Stone but then told to put it on the shelf never to be used ?
The Stone serves the "Source" and we serve the "Source", the sooner we can come to grips with that the better .... It is not our will but His will .... unfortunately it's our ego's that get in the way and slow our Evolution.
We see ourselves as separate from each other and separate from the "Source", but as we Evolve then the ego falls away and our oneness becomes more apparent.
IMHO ......
"Mathew 5 38-48
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have
your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 [
o]But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for
He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your [
p]brethren only, what do you do more
than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."
The book of Job does a great job showing that we are to be
astute in the face of challenges; since they are all according to God's will after all. Realizing the role of troubles in our lives.. to test and work us up to greater spiritual heights.. such a great gift that changes everything.
IMO
And this:
Mathew 6 9-19
"
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as
it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
The ups and downs are all serving a higher purpose of teaching us lessons. As we all know, a seed will never mature into an adult plant, capable of producing fruit unless it is subjected to the dualities of water and fire. Rain & Sun.
Not trying to minimize anyone's struggles; but hey what an opportunity to OVERCOME!
"“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’"
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” ’
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives
it.” ’
"
“Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. But hold fast what you have till I come. And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’"
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
"
Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And
I will write on him My new name.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’"
"
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”"
It seems like each of the 7 churches has their own particular struggles however they all have their own particular rewards for overcoming. They all imply the merging of individual consciousness with that of God or the absolute.
I know this is a reply to an old post; just putting it out there for everyone's consideration is regards to alchemy being a divine science.
These are all verses from Revelation Ch 2-4 the last part(s) of the 7 paragraphs pertaining to the 7 churches which deal with "overcoming" the world and its challenges.
IMO
Not looking to debate theology, gods existence etc or that alchemy is a divine art. I do not need to prove these things to anyone and this is my
opinion after all. I hope it was helpful to someone out there.
