A pair of I’s

Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. (Joh 12:39-40)

The single largest roadblock to living in the oneness of the Father is duality, a pair of I’s. Our entire life is a focus upon I and an other I. Our perspective is entirely crafted to distinguish differences in others who are not us simply to determine whether they are a danger to our well-being. We even apply this to our view of God. Let me take a moment to look at these two I’s from a point of view designed to dissolve our dual perceptions.

In the first book of Genesis, God declares how He will make man in His image and likeness. At no point in this creation narrative are we given any physical description of God. He is incorporeal. Man, therefore, who is made in the image and likeness, must also be incorporeal. We are a mirror of God, and as a far as He is concerned, it is very good.

There is a phrase whipped around in many charismatic circles stating, “God is all in all.” The first creation story of Genesis clearly portrays this. God draws forth all of creation from the exhalation of His breath. Nothing exists without His breath declaring its life. Yet, the term “breath” and “life” are concepts we associate with matter, things of substance, of which God is not.

So, let me reiterate the claim how God caused a vibration which excited the field of all possibilities resulting in some invisible energies to slow down and coalesce into a single locality known as our universe. Mankind, however, was generated into a vibrational pattern which is identical to the pattern of God. It is not a pattern different, similar too, or comparable too – it is identical in image and likeness. There is not one and another, and another for eight billion reiterations. There is one vibrational pattern – God.

From this we should begin to understand that God is. Nothing follows that statement in its purest formation. “All in all,” is a descriptor which allows us to weakly grasp the infinite in our finite concepts of meaning. To declare God as all-knowing, all-present, all-power, love, life, the first and the last, or any other term we have embedded in our mind is simply an attempt to capture the magnitude of grandeur before us. Moses discovered this in the name “I AM.” God is I AM. God is one. The one I. The Father and I are one.

Jesus made this claim, “…if you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father.” Yet, isn’t Jesus a physical being? Yes, of course he is, but Jesus recognized how his vibrational pattern and that of God is identical. God manifesting as Jesus – identical vibrational patterns, one pattern, not two. His seven great “I AM” claims in the fourth gospel are not about the life of a second “I” walking about the earth, they are about the one I inhabiting all lower vibrational patterns living, moving and being in them.

At some point in our evolution as lower vibrational patterns we assumed an identity which caused a second I to dominate our consciousness. This second I began to hamper the one consciousness of our true identity and flooded our thoughts with descriptors we desired to possess on the material plane. Paul would declare how this activity is the result of the carnal mind which holds the first consciousness as an enemy because the carnal mind can only see the lack in a material realm not recognizing the wealth of possibilities in the non-visible realm of God’s kingdom.

Consider how Jesus, when he entered into his ministry declared, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.” “Repent” does not mean all we have been indoctrinated with over the centuries. It simply means to change your thinking. Change your consciousness back to the kingdom of all unseen possibilities.

This is the first step we undergo in moving back to our first vibrational pattern. It is purposeful intention toward a divine objective. It requires us to dissolve the second I into the will of the One. As John the Baptizer stated, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” The use of “I” here in this declaration is a reference to the second I.

Please understand the carnal mind, or as Freud deemed it, the ego, will not give up its position without a fight. So, while John’s statement, truth-filled as it is, might seem easily attainable, it will require some discipline to achieve. Paul claims that it will require casting down thoughts and imaginations which exalt themselves against the knowledge, or consciousness, of Christ, which is the hope of glory and resides in you. However, he encourages us to recall how we have the mind, or consciousness, of Christ. The original vibrational pattern is still operating within us. These thoughts and imaginations are material desires which can only manifest from the invisible field of all possibilities known as God’s kingdom, not from the power and might of our workings.

Being “born again” is the result of bringing the second I to a daily death through accepting that the Father is one with all of His creation. As we, moment by moment, acknowledge our dependence on the invisible realm of all possibilities, the second I decreases so that the One I resumes its preeminence. There will come a day, when we, like Moses, suddenly discover our true identity. This revelation will resonate out of us, “I am that I AM.” In this moment, heaven will invade earth at the next coming of our Christhood and the God we have been looking for will become the Looker in His mirror. In this day we will finally discover the hidden message of the good news of how God has manifested as us to live, move and have our being as one with, and in Him.
