Children to Answer the Enemies in the Gate

While watching the inside of one's platter and cup a specific sin and error thoughtform entered them: the impulse to sterilize someone in the family and their children accompanied by justification ideation, error thought supportive of the sin impulse. 

I answered the enemies in the gate with the truths, the sons in my quiver, that identified the impulse as unloving and the ideation as in addition false; it being a denial of the free will of the children and of their children after them.

Thus we in watching and praying learn to see love and hate and their associated ideation in the vessels of feeling and thought.

We answer the enemies in the gate with the opposing impulses compassion and enlightenment; which you will find stored neatly on the shelf to your right at crunch time, if so be you have stored the Word in your heart.

Psalm 127:4-5 - King James Version (KJV)

<4> As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. <5> Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

As truths are powerful in the hand of one who has the rule over his heart, which rule is the Lord, so are the initial truths and goods born to one has been born again, born spiritually. Happy is the one who has stored the Word which teaches love in their heart. They shall not be overcome by evil, but they shall rather reprove the devils who come to them as sin and error thoughtforms.

Little by little, they are washed of filth and bloods by the spirit of burning and the spirit of judgment.

Isaiah 4:4 - King James Version (KJV)

<4> When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

This is said of having purified the heart of evils, filth, and of having purified the mind of shadows, blood.

For we are presented with a series of "chills and shadows", "stage plays and mockeries of the mind", and we choose the right fire and not the strange fire, the true water and not the bitter water (Spiritual Experiences 738, Conjugal Love 16). 

Every sin error thoughtform that darkens your door is an opportunity to assert its infernal nastiness and oppose compassion and reason diligently to it. For when we stop inhabiting the evil feeling, it becomes a research subject. All by itself, that asserts the good. And good then has a foundation, a root.

Once we can look into the dollhouse using the lamp of the Word, we can the more easily detach from evil lusts and take the wind out of their sails.

And what is the oil in those lamps? The good of love. It is with love imbuing our ideation that we can see sin and error thoughtforms in their true and ghastly reality.

The Word is among other things a *taxonomy or catalogue of good and truth thoughtforms and sin and error thoughtforms, which is by design in order that it may enter the heart and the quiver full of sons and answer the enemies in the gate.

Hebrews 4:12-13 - King James Version (KJV)

<12> For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. <13> Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

*Those interested in this notion and desirous of finding confirmation of spiritual truth in natural thought -- following standard Church procedure according to the rules of order -- may profit from comparing it to Jeffrey Young's schematherapy and taxonomy of the most common maladaptive thoughtforms; just as one may in the same vein profit from comparing the positive disintegration and teachings as to personality development of Dabrowski to the regeneration process.

Hear, 21st century man, the inner meaning of the Word of God

  John 16:7 - King James Version (KJV) <7> Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. You put that alongside this: "That the veil of the temple was rent in twain when the Lord suffered the cross (Matt. 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45) signified His glorification; for when the Lord was in the world, He made His Human Divine truth; but when He departed out of the world, He made His Human Divine good, from which the Divine truth now proceeds" (Arcana Coelestia 9670). Mark 15:38 - King James Version (KJV) <38> And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. Luke 23:45 - King James Version (KJV) <45> And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And you put this alongside that:  Luke 23:44-45 - King James Version (KJV) <44> And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a ...

He suffered no one to accompany Him but Peter, James, and John

As we have covered root, branch, and fruit, it is appropriate now to touch on Peter, James, and John, the disciples who represent basically the same things: with Peter being faith, James being charity, and John being the works of charity which proceed from the marriage of faith and charity; just as fruit depends on the root and the branch.  We read in Mark, on the occasion of the Lord's raising a 12 year old girl from the dead, that "he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James" (Mark 5:37).  That the Word specifically mentions these three disciples in the context of someone's being raised from the dead is due to the fact that there is no resurrection from spiritual death to spiritual life without charity, faith, and good deeds. Many things are said to and about Peter, James, and John, and these all have something to do with what they represent. Since Peter represents faith, and faith can be either married to charity or separa...

Outreach for Muslims: Gardens Rivers Date Palms Grape Vines Two

"And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it" (Ya-Sin 36:34). In the Latin Testament, where correspondences built into the universe are taught, a garden is a human. Gardens of palm trees and grape vines are humans with divine truths, and the springs which gush forth in them are enlightenment concerning these by God; as by rivers of divine truth flowing through and nourishing the Eden of the inner human. "These quotations indicate that in comparing humans (or what humans have inside them) to a garden, the earliest people included the idea of the water or rivers that watered the garden. It is also apparent that they took the water and rivers to mean the things that would stimulate growth" (Arcana Coelestia 108). The water is to stimulate growth in the garden of palm trees and grape vines and divine truths and holy practices; as water is to clean the flesh in the rite of baptism and as the blood of the Lamb of H...
