Within the culture of
"Belief" are three main elements of
consciousness
that
polarize the religious worlds, these can be
categorized as:
Messiah
Consciousness
Torah Consciousness
G-d Consciousness
Messiah
Consciousness
Is what connects us with
our Spirits, love is a product of Messiah
consciousness, this consciousness connects
us with others and to our Life Force. The
Ruach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) brings awareness of Messiah,
Torah and G-d Consciousness. Mashiyach is
the "Minister of Righteousness", through
Mashiyach we have the wisdom to apply Torah
and the things of YHWH Elohim to this
world. Even though many souls might reject
the Messiahship of Yeshua, it is through
Messiah Consciousness that one can approach
"the Father" who is YHWH El Elyon
(the Almighty). But
those who focus only on Messiah and reject
Torah or G-d Consciousness are not complete
in Mashiyach, because it is Messiah Consciousness
that leads us to "the Father" and
to Torah
Consciousness.
Torah
Consciousness
Is what connects the
Will
of Mashiyach with our own Actions. Torah
represents the MIND OF MASHIYACH, it is
Yeshua who walks in the fullness of Torah
and Who shows mankind how to be established
in His Righteousness. Jeremiah wrote of the
Brit Chadasha (ReNewed Covenant) wherein the
Torah would be written in our hearts. For
those not raised within the commonwealth of
a Torah community it is Messiah
Consciousness that established that link to
the "WORD OF YHWH". The WORD is the
creative force by which YHWH used to create
the Universe. The WORD OF YHWH is mentioned
255 times in the Scriptures, there are 242
mentions in the Tanakh (Torah - Prophets -
Writings) and only 13 mentions
in the Ketuvim Netzarim (writings of the
Netzarim which Marcion the heretic coined "the New
Testament").
"By the word
of YHWH were the heavens made; and all the
host of them by the breath of his mouth."
Psalm 33:6
"The WORD of YHWH became
flesh and dwelt among us."
John 1:14
TORAH is the WORD of YHWH, within TORAH is
the WORD of YHWH that holds the Universe
together, without TORAH the world would not
exist. Without Torah consciousness there is
no harmony between the Spiritual and Natural
worlds. Torah consciousness is the
Authority of YHWH which aligns the natural
world into His own Consciousness. Yeshua
Mashiyach is both judged and established by
Torah Consciousness. If Yeshua were to have
violated Torah he would have been
utterly disqualified from being Mashiyach.
Yeshua
was the Perfect Lamb, His PERFECTION came
through being altogether RIGHTEOUS. James
stated, "Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, and comes down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of
His own will He begat us with the Word of
Truth, that we should be a kind of
firstfruits of His creatures." The
Word of Truth is Torah, the book of Moshe
which is also confirmed by all the Prophets
and the Testimony of Yeshua.
G-d
Consciousness
Is the ultimate authority
by which we live, and move, and have our being, but
without both Messiah and Torah Consciousness
there is ambiguity that can be interpreted
in manifold ways, so much so that some call
evil good and good evil. For an infinite
G-d to connect to finite souls there must be
a transaction in our neshama (spirit). The
Word of YHWH is Spirit so as we open our
hearts to receive the Word of YHWH we gain
what is called the Mind of Mashiyach. Mankind is prone to
make gods in his own image, there is also
the propensity to ride the vicious circle of
"static god consciousness" which is another
way of saying "religion", or the methodology
of god without personal relationship and
interaction with YHWH Elohim.
The Assyrian
name for Bavel (Babel) means "gate of god", the
tower of Bavel was considered by Assyrians
to be the way to god, this was the Assyrian
form of "god consciousness". "God
consciousness" for Greeks was man as the
measure of all things, so much so that it
was and is very common for men to be deified
and worshipped as gods. Many souls listen
to false prophets and TV evangelists who
make their own "images of god" through their
theological models, their "god
consciousness" is based on the culture of
self. The seminary and leaders they've
modeled their ideas from have reproduced
themselves and duplicated
false teaching through their own form of "god consciousness"
a process they often refer to as
"evangelism" or "ministry."
Life is sustained
through the physical and spiritual values of
Messiah consciousness, but is destroyed
by anti-Messiah Consciousness. Purity of
Messiah consciousness establishes Love,
Compassion, and Caring, but even these most
noble of attributes are easily perverted
through the greed and selfishness of
misplaced "god consciousness". Messiah
Consciousness has reached it's ultimate
perversion through religion which
capitalizes on ideas about Messiah, Torah or
G-d but denies the power thereof.
Although
all religions advocate forms of Messiah
Consciousness, all religions also prejudice
themselves by installing Masters, Mentors
and "enlightened ones" (anyone who you think
knows more about G-d than you) who stand in
place of Mashiyach for their followers.
These false shepherds are obstacles to
Messiah and Torah Consciousness who operate
on self made "god consciousness". Many
Christians claim to have a connection to
YHWH through Messiah Consciousness, however
we see blatant
paganism within Christianity which
speaks of a hybrid consciousness derived from
humanistic values. Orthodox Judaism claims
to connect to YHWH through Torah
Consciousness, however religious tradition
has usurped true Torah Consciousness and
installed the authority of Rabbis over the Living Torah.
Whether it be the
New Age Movement, Christianity or Judaism,
each religion struggles to define itself and
be established within Messiah Consciousness,
these religions have picked up many values
from the anti-Messiah who is also
anti-Torah, but are very much pro
"god". HaSatan (the Adversary) offers himself as the alternative
deity in many different forms. The word
"God" means troop, fortune or luck, this
adds confusion to the revelation of "God
Consciousness" as even the definition of God
is a departure from the truth of Elohim.
Elohim is the original Hebrew word that was
translated into "god". Elohim refers only to
the might or authority of deity, but YHWH
and Mashiyach provide the specific
attributes, authority and character of the
one true Elohim. Since the beginning of
man's history there has been a struggle to
connect to our true nature and understand
our existence on this earth. There are many
hints of Torah based God Consciousness
revealed in many parts of the earth, from Paleo Hebrew Coins on the islands of Papeete
Tahiti within Ancient Polynesian and
Chaldean culture, to Indian artifacts in New
Mexico USA or to Brazilian Capuela, both
Torah and Messiah Consciousness is
evidenced.
The challenge for us today is to
know the reality of Messiah and Torah
consciousness which makes us complete, we
are to be a Kedoshim (Holy People) who are
given the resources and intelligence to
minister Justice. To be "Believers" is
a good
first step towards the Perfection we are
called into, but we must go onto
maturity and Perfection. We have the
resources in Yeshua and the Ruach HaKodesh
to live, teach and harmonize the Word of
reconciliation by walking in the Faith of
Mashiyach and Observing Torah. From the
pillars of Torah and Mashiyach consciousness
we are to build a foundation towards true
"YHWH consciousness", only then can we know
that it is not we who live for ourselves,
but He who lives within us. YHWH has
established His Word in us and through
Mashiyach He harmonizes all things to
Himself.
Let us take
an inventory of our spiritual man and consider which of these three
"connections" we feel the most comfortable
with.
Which of these three do we lack confidence,
in which do we feel strength? Based on the
limitations of our own "human nature" we
should recognize that whatever is the more
familiar to us can also potentially be the
most misaligned. If we feel we are strong
in the area of Messiah Consciousness then we
must ask YHWH to open our hearts to Torah
Consciousness.
If we feel our strength lies
in Torah Consciousness then we must ask YHWH
to open our hearts to Messiah
Consciousness. If our actions do not align
with the values we espouse, we must address
our souls before YHWH and be reconciled in
our values and actions. If we have conflict
with other "Believers" we must also survey
our own souls to see where we lack in wisdom
or ability to reconcile all things in Yeshua. It is immature and irresponsible
for souls to avoid conflict resolution by
putting the onus of change upon others, even
upon other religions to change or conform to
our ideals.
The fact of the matter
is that we need diversity and conflict to
mature us and prove Messiah & Torah
Consciousness within us. We are called to
be a Kedoshim (Set Apart People) which means the work of
perfecting our souls is also dependant upon
being a Mishpocha (family). We are called to walk with
one another, but by
withdrawing from conflicts or not
establishing true reconciliation, "Believers"
set themselves up to establish "god
consciousness" according to the flesh,
thereby neither developing maturity nor fruit unto Mashiyach.
We either receive or
reject the Ruach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) based on how we
choose to live our lives and treat others.
May we each grow in the unity of the Faith
and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim,
unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fullness of Mashiyach.
Amen ve Amen!
YHWH be with you,
Shalom U'Vrachot,
Baruch Ben Daniel
