of spirit. Like an egg, we know not what is inside until we crack...

The energy of the universe flows through us around us, in and out of us as if it is bound to us by the ropes of matter, but truly we are all in a chain reaction of blinding, speeding white light which acts as the glue that holds all the universe together. It is the radiance of spirit. Like an egg, we know not what is inside until we crack our egg of ego.

Our highest, ultimate self won't settle for a listless uneventful existence so go for it all! The veils of ignorance are lifting and the dimensions of awareness are weaving through each other. The awakening is here. Be very grounded at this wonderful time of shifting.

The shift has been noticed by the emergent church and be some church visionaries who are writing and teaching on the paradigm shift. One such writer is Leonard Sweet whose book is Quantum Spirituality and the sub title is A Postmodern Apologetic. I will quote him in the text to follow.

There is never a need to seek, only to see, in the end everything is already in and of God. Acts 17:26-28, “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said,”

Rom 11:36, “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.”

I believe this meeting is the beginning of a new paradigm focus and the group itself can determine the future direction. What I envision is nothing less than a Quantum

Spirituality for the new millennium. It would feature science and the sacred integrated with no apology.

From Quantum Spirituality, “Mysticism, once cast to the sidelines of the Christian tradition, is now situated in postmodernist culture near the center. In part, the physics of David Bohm and Fritjof Capra are ways of responding to culture’s having pushed it there.” In the words of one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century, Jesuit philosopher of religion/dogmatist Karl Rahner, “The Christian of tomorrow will be a mystic, one who has experienced something, or he will be nothing.” Too many people are nothing, as our empty pews are shouting to us, because we give them neither an energy-fire experience of Christ nor the Christ of an energy-fire experience. We may help them apprehend reality through the rudiments of mystical speculations, but not the rapture of flow experiences. The words of Boston’s Trinity Church preacher/Bishop of Massachusetts Phillips Brooks are as true now as they were when first spoken in 1907: “Much of our preaching is like delivering lectures on medicine to sick people.” Mysticism (which Einstein called “cosmic religiosity”) is metaphysics arrived at through mind-body experiences. Mysticism begins in experience; it ends in theology. Without the heartfelt experience of a healing God, there can be no mystics.” This first meeting is the fifth Friday and perhaps at least we can plan to meet on every fifth Friday making it a commitment of once each quarter. Sub groups may form for specific applications. I want to leave time open to brainstorming. I thought I would present some concepts first to spur discussion. Any of these topics could take up hours so I will be making an introduction only. Following 5th Fridays Aug 30, Nov. 29, Jan 31, May 30

• 1) God as Energy

Heb 12:26-29, “He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.

A friend of mine with Biblical seminary training, Jim, explained, “I’ve said for years when Jesus said “I am the light of the world” (light = Gk “phos” from which we get phosphorous.. ) he was talking about ENERGY.

The ancient Greeks didn’t have a word for Energy; Newton hadn’t been born yet (to show us how light is found in particles and the others who said particles and/or energy…

So the bible uses “light.” He also said “we are the light of the world” and we now know that every cell in the body gives us a tiny light, 1/100-millionth of that amount of sunlight; but it’s measurable…it’s energy isn’t it! “

Great insights from Jim, but technically the Greeks did have a word for energy. It is not included in Biblical dictionaries because it was not in use in Israel as spoken Greek at the time of Jesus. It was known by the Greek philosophers long before Jesus’ time.

The word is Energeia is a word based upon ergon, meaning "work". It is the source of the modern word "energy" but the term has evolved so much over the course of the history of science that reference to the modern term is not very helpful in understanding the original as coined by Aristotle. It is difficult to translate his use of energeia into English with consistency. Aristotle says the word can be made clear by looking at examples rather than trying to find a definition.

Two examples of energeiai in Aristotle's works are pleasure and happiness (eudaimonia). Pleasure is an energeia of the human body and mind whereas happiness is more simply the energeia of a human being a human. We might contrast joy and happiness that way.

I believe that this is very insightful. Modern era science stresses materialism so energy is thought of only in the realm of the physical or material. Most scientists are materialistic and prefer energy as a particle or photon to the form of energy as a wave.

Aristotle was much more open to the un-seen nonphysical realms of emotion and passions which are also expressions of energy or spirit. So Energeia is energy but not limited to the physical realm. How did Jesus explain the energy or spirit?

A favorite quote of mine is found in John 3:6-8, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

It is obvious that for Jesus, spirit is like the wind, a form of energy, and seen as fire, another form of energy. We have every reason to understand that spirit is energy and energy is spirit.

What other scriptures present God as energy? Comments, Questions, and Applications:

• 2) The Quantum Physics interface with Spirituality, 10 new paradigms that are paradoxical but reveal God.

• 1. The reality you see is not the ultimate reality.

Heb 11:3, “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”

1 John 4:12-14, “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. Love as we will see is a powerful form of energy if it is God’s love or agape, unconditional love.

Comments, Questions, and Applications:

• 2. The Partial / Wave Duality

Light can be proven to be a wave or particle and these are apparently contradictory. Further complexity is found in that light becomes what the scientist wants it to be. So, light responds to the consciousness of the researcher.

As a wave light acts as energy in flow, but as a particle, called a photon, light becomes a physical thing, a small parcel of light. God is said to be light and spirit. God the Father is the source of this thing called light or energy, the Son is the particle or physical expression of God and the wave is the Holy Spirit. In the Trinity we find all three.

In Genesis we read that the first command of Elohim, God (s) a plural word, was “let there be light.”

Science now illustrates the “big bang” and for a long time after energy exploded into space, there was no light. Creation in a sense was cracking the eternal egg into time.

Therefore at creation or the beginning of the time, space, matter universe light appeared first. Probably the light was energy without matter for eons. Matter was a late stage event. In fact science believes that darkness reigned with energy before light appeared.


• 3. The Material World Arising – The Collapse Of The Wave

Energy precedes matter and thought precedes creation in the physical realm. You have an idea, a non-physical thing, and then you produce the product or idea in image form. Christ is called the Logos, the Spiritual energy ideal man who materialize into flesh. In New Age teaching this is oversimplified into whatever you want and think about will materialize magically for you. This is taught as the Law of Attraction and the Law of Materialization. It contains truth but not all the truth. The true part is: Biblical faith is taught as bringing the unseen into the realm of the seen.

Heb 11:1-2, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Heb 11:3, By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Dr. Amit Goswami, professor emeritus of theoretical physics at the University of Oregon wrote a book, God Is Not Dead showing that we can find God in the Science of Quantum Physics. He said of the collapse of the wave theory: “Each measurement causes a change in the state of matter from a wave of possibility to a particle of actuality. This change is known as the collapse of the wave function. In simple terms, this is the reduction of all of the possibilities of the wave aspect into one temporary certainty of the particle aspect.” “The truth is, an understanding of the collapse requires consciousness (von Neumann, 1955) If we follow that thinking, it means that without consciousness there is no collapse, no particles, no materiality” pg 20

So to quote the father of physics, Max Planck, “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter. I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.

Yet in the whole of the universe there is no force that is either intelligent or eternal, and we must therefore assume that behind this force there is a conscious, intelligent Mind or Spirit. This is the very origin of all matter.”

(Planck, as cited in Eggenstein 1984, Part I; see “Materialistic Science on the Wrong Track”).


• 4. The Rise Of Consciousness

How can consciousness arise? Can the material universe create non-material, spiritual and energetic consciousness? According the Amit Goswami, “quantum physics does not have any mechanism or mathematics to explain the collapse of possibilities into a single event of actual manifest manifestation.”

Max Planck taught, “All matter arises and persists only due to a force that causes the atomic particles to vibrate, holding them together in the tiniest of solar systems, the atom.

The so called “God particle”, the Higgs boson, is the apparent bridge between energy and matter in what I called the ANU in my article, The ANU and You. However, the ANU or Higgs requires two energies in a dance of flow to produce the building block of all matter in the quantum pre-atomic levels. Therefore the Bible says in Gen 1:3-4, “Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good;”

Enlightenment 700-‐1000 Peace 600 Joy 540 Love 500 Reason 400 Acceptance 350 Willingness 310 Neutrality 250 Courage 200 Pride 175 Anger 150 Desire 125 Fear 100 Grief 75 Apathy 50 Guilt 30 Shame 20

From this we see that God blew out energy because speaking (He said) is a vibration caused by the outward flow of breath and then God saw indication that He was the consciousness that brought the collapse of energy into physical creation. This is done by the power we might call, ‘Let there be’. God is the ground of all being.

If it exists it moves! There is a dance of energy in everything that exists.

Remember the DNA double helix - no wonder the Bible says we are new creations!

\

Upward energy, “Zoe” and downward energy, “flesh” are separated as love and above. The flesh is love and below and not the purest emotion.

• 5. The Mind / Brain

The materialist must insist that consciousness and the mind are products of the physical brain. They would tend to merge the concepts into a brain that is our also our mind. The question remains, however, does the mind exist without the brain? What is the importance to this in the belief in life beyond the grave?

The mind uses the brain but the mind is a non-material entity. The words we speak tend to say this. We say that I thought or that I felt, or that I decided but who is the I that used data from the brain and controlled the entire process?

Scripture teaches that it is the spirit (or energy) part of man that knows. It is the “I” that is like the user of the computer. The computer does not act apart from the operator. In like manner the spirit of man is the operator and the one that knows.

1 Cor 2:9-12, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Our spiritual or energy self is the one that is self aware, the part of man that is conscious or has consciousness. It also teaches us that our knowing energy self is a part of God’s energy self there is a oneness in the spirit. This relates to the statement in the same section of scripture that say in 1 Cor 2:14-16, “But the natural (soulish psychological) man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.”

You can operate with your psyche or with your spirit, the difference is using the intelligence stored in your brain and limited by it, or using spiritual intuition stored in the universal mind of God, “the mind of Christ”, and thus have knowledge not limited to your brain.

The spirit of man should control the soul of man and when he dies, the spirit/soul which is consciousness coexisting with God, returns to God and is never destroyed by death. It is consciousness not of the material world but of the spiritual, energy world that is the ultimate, eternal, spiritual, creative part of the human being. It was alive before birth and exists after death being eternal with God. Comments, Questions, and Applications:

• 6. God’s Vital Body

The body of God is spirit or energy stuff so to speak. It has no mass but it is the only source of any mass or matter. It fills all things but it comes before all things. This makes the Biblical theology of God a panentheism. Pantheism finds God only in the creation but panentheism finds God above and also in all things.

Remember the scripture we already quoted: “for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said,” Also the bible says in Rom. 11:36, “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.”

God’s vital body and the claims of Jesus make us the body of Christ. Now that is not just an illustration in the material realm. In the spirit realm we are all connected in Christ and in God. The highest vision for mankind is this unified vision of the “all in all.”

This unity teaching is the highest level of spiritual insight and the vision of Christ. In John 17:20-23, "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”

Further experimental proofs of the spiritual body of God and Christ, the vital energy body, is found in the proven experiences such as;

• Dreams • ESP

• Psycho kinetics • Chakra energy treatments • Dousing • The impact of emotions • Life imprint as a blueprint guiding physical development such as in the human

genome and in individuation of cells from one fertilized egg cell.


• 7. The Universe As A Hologram – The Logos Effect

If Everything We Know is a 'Hologram', then What Becomes of 'Reality'? The 'solidity' of our world is only a secondary reality made up of a holographic blur of frequencies. Our 'Holographic' brain selects some of the frequencies out of this blur and mathematically transforms them into sensory perception, which we mistake for our reality. Keith Floyd, psychologist at Virginia Intermont College, The Holographic Paradigm, states, "If reality is nothing but a holographic illusion, then the physical brain does not produce consciousness. Rather, it is Consciousness that creates the 'appearance' of the brain as well as the body and everything else around us that we interpret as physical." University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's experimental findings imply that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.

Albert Einstein said, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

Holographic Redundancy If a hologram is broken into small pieces, the entire image would still be viewable through any of the broken pieces. Therefore the complete hologram is in all mankind and in each of us as pieces of humanity. The body of Christ is the vital spiritual body of God but it is also the vital spiritual, energy body in myself as an individual. I am a broken piece of humanity if I think of myself as separate but I am the whole of humanity and God if I think of myself in and as God as in the God man.

If we are simply a holographic blur of frequencies where does the pattern arise from which we experience reality?

James 4:14-15, “whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that”

Ps 62:8-9, “Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.”

Ultimately the material self does not matter because the spiritual energy self is the final reality. All life, even plant life, has a physical and an energy existence. The picture below shows the energy leaf after the physical leaf was torn away.

Scripture says there are two ideals or patterns, one the old and fleshly based, the other the new and spiritually based.

1 Cor 15:21-23, “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.”


• 8. The Fossil Gaps And Upward Evolution

When, 140 years later, Prof. Steve Jones of University College London published an updated version of Darwin’s Origin of Species in 1999, the fossil record still posed the same problem.

“The fossil record - in defiance of Darwin's whole idea of gradual change - often makes great leaps from one form to the next. Far from the display of intermediates to be expected from slow advance through natural selection many species appear without warning, persist in fixed form and disappear, leaving no descendants. Geology assuredly does not reveal any finely graduated organic chain, and this is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against the theory of evolution.”

Amit Goswami – How can God be said to have been rediscovered in science? Because we have a verifiable scientific theory based on the God hypothesis that explains in full scientific detail how the impossible becomes possible, how the gaps are bridged. Pg 61


• 9. The Mystery of Quantum Entanglement


• 10. The Improbability of Love

In a world dominated by the drive we call the “survival of the fittest” how could agape, love – unconditional love arise? Love called agape in the Bible is the pure love of God and as such it is unconditional and illustrated as grace. Grace is God’s favor without any merit. All lower forms of love are conditional and based on some kind of merit or payoff. Even the purest human or animal love, the love of a mother for a baby, is not pure agape because the mother has many payoffs and the child had some merits by which to discern love’s reason. Agape love is unreasonable and would love and protect any other life form without any reason but love itself. God loves His creation and that love is provided without a conditioning response from the creatures. Rom 5:6-8, “For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” For such a love to arise it must come from without the creature. That is why it is called the love of God and why God is called love. Paul expressed the arrival of the quantum leap toward love this way, 1 Tim 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was

• Manifested in the flesh, • Justified in the Spirit, • Seen by angels, • Preached among the Gentiles, • Believed on in the world, • Received up in glory.

But there is more! To summarize, love has all three quantum signatures: discontinuity, nonlocality, and tangled hierarchy.

A key point is that the quantum downward causation of choice is exerted in discontinuously. The outcome of the downward choice is unpredictable. Our ordinary state of consciousness, dominated by the ego, obscures our freedom to choose, limiting the choice to the known. To be aware that we choose freely is a jump beyond the ego, taking a quantum leap into the unknown – called a quantum leap. Agape love found in humanity is a quantum leap! How does quantum theory apply? Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom in 1913 suggesting that the electrons can move only in certain ways. But they don’t! An electron can jump from one orbit to another. They move in a very discontinuous way disappearing from one orbit and reappearing in another orbit causing quantum energy to be emitted or absorbed. This is a quantum leap. So we find that God’s love appeared without any evolutionary movement over eons of time. Jesus and His love was a quantum leap. Nonlocality also is exhibited in agape love in that it is not limited to the individual and this means that God’s love is flowing through me and connecting me to another one in such a way that we are one in Christ. John 17:20-24, "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me”.

Love is unity, sin is the result of believing that separation is real. In agape love we act in a tangled hierarchy. What moves God moves me. What moves me moves God. True love should not be expressed in a normal hierarchy. Love from sympathy or empathy still is positional in that the lover is above the beloved reaching downward, but ultimate love is a tangled hierarchy through which love is circular in motion. The cause of love oscillates between the individuals in a loving relationship so that you cannot tell who is in control. Love controls both and love does not allow one to manipulate the other.


• 3) God and AETHERS, the extra-physical fields of energy,

In the late 19th century, luminiferous aether, æther or ether, meaning light-bearing aether, was the postulated medium for the propagation of light.

Following the negative outcome of aether-drift experiments like the Michelson–Morley experiment, the concept of aether as a mechanical medium having a state of motion lost adherents. It has been replaced in modern physics by the theory of relativity and quantum theory.

According to ancient and medieval science aether (Greek α�θήρ aithēr, also spelled æther or ether, is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.

The word α�θήρ (aithēr) in Homeric Greek means "pure, fresh air" or "clear sky", imagined in Greek mythology to be the pure essence where the gods lived and which they breathed, analogous to the air breathed by mortals.

In it, the quintessence of aether is used as a medicine for man’s illnesses. Today we draw down from the energy dimension the life force energy and bring balance and healing through energy therapy.

What does science say about the apparently empty vacuum of space? It is not empty at all but pregnant with possibility. There appears to be a unified force field that fills all space. Emptiness is no – thing, not nothing. It has no thing but it is filled with quantum possibilities. When ego consciousness is replaced by spirit consciousness emptiness becomes the source of all that manifests into our reality. That manifestation is painted, so to speak, on the canvas of the one unified force field. The ancients conceived of it this way, as the flower of life and the flower of physical reality.


• 4) The benefits and limitations of the personal God theology.

I would maintain that the human God concept has evolve over time. This is why it is obvious in the scripture that there is a progressive revelation of God. Adam did not know God the way Noah did and Noah did not know God as Abraham did and Abraham did not know God as Moses did and Moses did not know God in the same way that Christ did. This is why theologians have found a progression in God consciousness revealed in the covenants of God with man. The first covenant is called the Adamic, the second the Noahic, the third the Mosaic, the fourth the priestly Aaronic, the fifth the Davidic, the sixth the Messianic, the seventh the covenant of grace, and the eighth the covenant of the kingdom of God. When Jesus the Christ came to mankind the Jewish nation wanted a Messianic King to deliver their physical lives from the bondage of Rome. They rejected Jesus because His kingdom was spiritual not physical. They were stuck with a God of law who was not primarily loving and gracious but harsh and dominating. Jesus challenged the God of judgment with the God of love and grace and made Him appear as daddy not the policeman in the sky. In the thinking of humanity, a king would reign with force but Jesus reigned only with love. It by extension means that God is love and not force, a power that unites not a power that divides. What is personhood if it is not also energy? What is energy if it is not also personal? The error, however, of the personal God theory is that it limits our concept of God to childlike levels of consciousness. Comments, Questions, and Applications:

• 5) Energy and who is using it. Why how we live matters.

In the movie, the Matrix, Morpheus said: What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this. [holds up a Duracell battery]

Neo: No, I don't believe it. It's not possible.

Morpheus: I didn't say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.

What is loosh? 1. A New Age term applied to energy produced by human beings that other entities use to feed from. 2. It is also used to refer to the energy that is produce by suffering that certain entities feed on. 3. An energy generated by all organic life in varying degrees of purity, the clearest and most potent coming from humans-engendered by human activity which negative emotion, the highest of such emotion being Love and above. So we feed on animals and plants but who feeds on us? The energy flowing back to angels and God is love and above loosh while and energy drained by the demonic feeds on lower emotions like shame, fear, anger. This apparent spiritual fact has given way to the concept of vampires who drain human life force by drinking blood. The Loosh meal is not physical but spiritual and energy. I Cor. 10:21, ‘You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord's Table and at the table of demons, too.”

Gal. 5:19, “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;” Note the negative feast. Gal. 5:22- 25, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Who do you want to empower or feed? Comments, Questions, and Applications:

• 6) The Biblical concepts regarding the gross body, the subtle body, and the casual body. Definitions: Gross body = The physical, material, sensor-motor body Subtle body = The energy, emotions, passions, images, light/darkness, dreams world of the soul. Casual body = The body of the most subtle experiences, the great formlessness out of which creative possibilities arise. The gross body has bio life, the subtle body has psuche life, and the casual body has zoe life. 1 Cor 15:42-45, “So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” First Corinthians 2:10-16, “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor 3:1-4, “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” NATURAL -- CARNAL -- SPIRITUAL: psuchikos -- sarkikos -- pneumatikos (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words)


• 7) Healing at the three levels.

Healing must be holistic: Body Soul and Spirit. Application should start with the level of the manifestation of the dis-ease. Body – Somatic - Medicine but also diet, energy balance, and pathogens. Soul – Psychology – Psycho Somatic Healings and Dis-ease Spirit – Spirituotherapy – Loss of Chi, Spirit, Energy, External energy sources We are dynamic trinities and holistic healing must involve all three as well as the interface and synergy of the three.
