then (1 John 2) firstlevel Christians and secondlevel Christians......
so that's three classes of revelation concerning reality
zilch, 1 and 2.....
all three types are still dealing with things as "out there " subjects.
Our non need of Christ, or our need of Christ....but it's an out there subject.
Then comes that nowfamous moment in the Matrix film where Morpheus offers Neo the red pill or the blue pill.
The pill you take threatens your personal existence, your idea of that existence and who you are, in short your whole paradigm from which you live, your inner seeing.
We as thirdlevel Christians deal with how things actually are.
We are yes speaking the gospel, but we are speaking it in its many many bits of clothing to address the Genesis 3 spirit everybody else is living in, Christians included.
We are not preaching an out there subject.
Want an example of a thirdleveller in Christ.
A little old Indian lady who is invited into Britain in 1990 and instead of speaking diplomatically and saying how nice it is to be invited, opens her mouth , eyeballs Britain through the camera lens and says.....
YOUCAN TELL HOW CIVILISED A COUNTRY IS BY THE WAY THEY TREAT SICK AND OLD PEOPLE.
Her name was Mother Teresa, and had not MI5 or whoever later killed Princess Diana , the world would have made much much more of this woman's death, but ofcourse , that week, it was swallowed up behind the grief of Britain.
To find out where you personally are in Christ I have only to take you to the week of Jesus Crucifixion. Like the red pill or the blue pill of the Matrix you will show up where you are as I take you through that last week. The Bible is the only book that maps things forensically in what happened and how it happened. But in doing so it flags up exactly how humans behave when Darkness is moving through a situation , and like iron filings standing to attention, everybody who has not rid themselves of any hooks in their lives, are quickly sucked into performing whatever Darkness wants.
The Bible even describes Pontius Pilate psychology.
"What is truth?"
The Bible describes Peter's fear in two ways.....the fear that pushes him like a form of Catholic Army, to strike a soldier with a sword, then cause Jesus to literally have to pick up the pieces and stick them together again. The second manifestation of fear caused the three specific denials Jesus had a Word of knowledge about, seeing them ahead of time.
The Bible even forensically catches out the Romans and chief priests as they colluded after resurrection day, when they concocted the ludicrous story of the crack SAS guardsmen all falling asleep. In Roman days if you fell asleep you were killed !!!
In a similar way today, DO YOU WANT reality exposed to you? You can choose for now. But reality is still reality.
Reality says in Romans 8 that to set the mind on the flesh.....
that is this whole entire bogus form of living and believing about ourselves since Genesis 3 IS ACTUAL DEATH....
your choice
Or to set the mind on the Spirit, and what is really true is life and peace.
Now first and secondlevel Christians have got so far, but as soon as they leave Christian meetings, they cant help it, they are back in the old consciousness again, making the same mistakes. And like the apostles, when Darkness was moving big time the week of Jesus crucifixion, none of the apostles had any option,they were sucked into absolute uselessness.
That's where they were. At that point.
And Jesus MEANT IT TO BE SO.
This was their own personal Romans 7.
This was all prophesied about in Psalm 22.
TO STEP UP TO THE NEW TOTAL REALITY THE DISCIPLES HAD TO MAKE A TOTALLY NEW INTERNAL DECISION AFTER THE RESURRECTION..
There was nolonger any grounds whatsoever for any type of blue pill. This was it. LIFE, TOTAL TRUTH, SETTING THE MIND ON THE SPIRIT, and nothing else.
