Defining God's nature could be one of the most thoughprovoking missions any person could undertake, and usually in such circumstances, a series of unverifiable approaches incite us to overlap conclusions blindly. As a result, our interest is consumed in frustration, and we return to our initial state of uncertainty. A similar outcome may transpire when trying to resolve an exact definition of time. Given such an understanding, imagine how difficult it would be to manufacture a sustainable nexus in the middle of the two realities-namely, God and time. The New Church of the multiple Wisdom simplifies this disagreement by concluding that God and time have all the time co-existed because they are in fact the same. This windup eliminates the complications surrounding this topic, which has been the focus of scholarly attentiveness for centuries. The consider boils down to a straightforward question: What do we call the indiscernible and unstoppable occasion that was occurring when God created time? Two potential responses exist: joining the interminable consider prolonged by prevalent lines of view or adopting the New Church of the multiple Wisdom's position that time in its maximum and unique expression- the eternal now-was all the time God.
Note that an overall analysis of all topics covered in the New Church of the multiple Wisdom's articles can be found in our manifesto entitled The Last Prophecy: The Antichrist and the Dramatic Fall of a Publishing Empire. In today's column, however, we reconsider safe bet aspects of our theology that, interestingly, have not yet been openly discussed. We begin by questioning ourselves about what view we have of time. Commonly speaking, from our human perspective, we perceive time to tour from past to gift and from gift to future. Any person familiar with our theology knows about the principle of the multiple wisdom, which establishes two analyses for any condition or event. In the current context, one analysis would be the perception of time as traveling from past to future whereas the second analysis-the counterpart in the principle of the multiple wisdom-would be the divine perspective in which time remains static in the eternal present. From the latter viewpoint, we are the ones thoughprovoking with respect to time, clear in the deterioration of our bodies and the continuous renovation of our minds. We can correlate this view of time with a road map featuring a web of interconnected routes that we are individually exploring as we walk through life. As we move, we consequent a sequence of actions over a stationary terrain-time. We were amazed to learn how Edgar Cayce-possibly the greatest prophet of the modern era-arrived at the same windup while his lifetime. Cayce stated that everything that could maybe occur is happening simultaneously. More importantly, this is the main intuit why Jesus (in Matthew 24:34) proclaims that the generation He was addressing would see the end: "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall no pass, till all these things be fulfilled." In fact, from the "now" perspective, we have all been already judged; at the same time, we are living the events described by Jesus and are in eternal communion with God and Jesus' generation. We can also visualize time as a boiling vessel: The recipient remains motionless whereas its article replenishes itself in a latent effervescence. Time sparkles in/as God's Spirit, triggering the appeal of life.
Remarkably, from this new perspective introduced by our theology, we also learn that we can sense the flow of life, the source of creation, the nature of time-something previously unimaginable. Yes, time becomes palpable when we perceive joy through a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit. This sense of plentifulness represents the clearest manifestation of time as a tangible entity and corroborates our perennial relationship with our origin. In other words, life on earth represents a short, yet crucial extension of our eternal journey. To additional justify this assertion, we should observe how-before our earthly stance-we are just spirit in an inferior form and our earthly nearnessy constitutes an integral part in the process of completion of our eternal knowledge. From the divine perspective, the entire process occurs simultaneously, in the now frame, despite we visualize it as occurring in stages-as part of our past, present, and future. Now we know why the Psalmist said: "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past..." (Psalm 90:4). There is no sense of time in eternity because time is God Himself; the sense of time that we remotely discern on earth is God's everlasting nearnessy among us. In addition-and to eliminate any confusion-we should reiterate that, when we end this life, we once again come to be only spirit, albeit with a excellent brain only excelled by God's omniscience. Our earth-life perceive then translates into just an awareness that affliction exists as an requisite component in the wholeness of our rational capacity as eternal beings in a realm where sorrow and suffering are nonexistent. We should remember that the purpose of any creation is to glorify God, which enables us to understand that the unique way to correlate His immeasurable love in our heavenly perceive is through the awareness that it could be incalculably terrible without His grace and His benevolence, as we learn here on earth coping with our struggles. From this angle, the terrific aspect of the idea of a God-inflicted suffering in humans is considerably diminished to the extent that we accept it rather as a necessity to get ready us for our spiritual journey. Otherwise, eternity would be senseless, without purpose, monotonous, and joyless. Could you imagine anyone like that?
Another thoughprovoking point explained in our manifesto focuses on "spiritual equality." We firmly believe that every single person receives in life a proportionate equilibrium of suffering and happiness and does so in the same rate as everyone else. This view is what we call spiritual equality. It is important to add that the most requisite feature of this equality is that the frequency or quantity of events and conditions affecting our feelings and emotions, compared to other persons, are not a concern; rather, we should observe the rate through which affliction relates to happiness in personal terms. It is like a tear-for-a-smile formula for everyone. Obviously, no one would complain of being deprived of extra happiness throughout their life once they perceive that such happiness includes an equivalent proportion of affliction. This is someone else example of God's love toward humanity. We do not have to worry about any inequitable distribution of feelings and emotions among people, but rather be pleased with the practically equal rate in the compensation for our sorrows. A variable rate would be unfair and our eternal knowledge unbalanced because some people would gain greater knowledge through the assimilation of uncompensated suffering. One undesirable perceive is enough to recognize the unpleasant feeling, which is the primary purpose of our earthly visit; therefore, the cumulative impact of this equilibrium while the span of life of each individual does not work on the number or ability of the eternal knowledge to acquire, but rather functions as a mechanism created by God to keep the continuity of our human experience. Incredibly, this is confirmed when we learn that God tilted the equilibrium slightly toward our happiness, which is why we mentioned earlier that the rate is "approximately" equal. In other words, the sorrow-happiness rate is purposely fixed to favor our gratification as the most feasible way to fuel the expand of humanity based on the continuity of our intellectual growth. In other words, if the rate of our emotional equilibrium were de facto equitable (i.e., a 50/50 rate) or favoring the suffering side on the scale, the development of our human conditions would stall or move retrogressively toward uncivilization because our drive for regaining happiness would be dinky by the counter-effect caused by our suffering. We would have no human will left to motivate us because, in the same way suffering complements our eternal knowledge, the crusade for happiness incentivizes the expand of civilization.
Understanding how spiritual equilibrium functions clarifies our perception of being part of a greater plan orchestrated by our Almighty God, the creator of the universe, and allows us to admit why the only things we can control in our life are our attitude and the way we feel. More specifically, it prepares us to accept that what we believe to be created in our mind is part of a bigger schedule configured by God in the eternal present. To get a clearer picture of God-time in the eternal gift or "now" scenario, imagine that the unblemished story of the universe were occurring at this moment, all in the same instant. For us, it is impossible to visualize such a scenario, but not for God, who is the only One capable to discern His own nature. Undoubtedly, the best way to position ourselves in the eternal now frame, despite our human limitations, is when we perceive pure joy while being in communion with the Holy Spirit, as we previously explained.
In all likelihood, not many persons have been aware of the palpability of time-let alone its close relation to God's nature-but from now on, de facto a few persons will start to observe it from this new angle. Even more will join the quest when they learn about the benefits of practicing spiritual deliverance, as we call this spiritual state, in which the Holy Spirit takes control of our mind and body to materialize our relationship with eternity. When you convention spiritual deliverance, you mentally disassociate yourself from any view in order to let the Holy Spirit bloom inside you. While in this trance, you are giving back to God the only ability that He gave us to control: our attitude. He perceives this as the sincerest act of reverence from you to Him. As a result, you step into eternity-God, which is more favorable to satisfy your needs, dreams, and ambitions because of your humbleness. Keep in mind that what we see as the future is the now in the spiritual realm and what you catalog as your "own thinking" is part of something larger designed by God; thus, everything is perfectly aligned if you have trust and believe it to be so. everything in your mind that you believe is going to happen is because God wants to get ready you to accept it; what you don't believe is going to happen is due to the fact that He wants you to dismiss it from your expectations-although He also wants you to think about it in some way for a secret purpose in His plan. Even our doubts come from Him as a way to quote our personal values and convictions. When we accept these facts, all aspects of our rational incomprehensibility converge in credible grounds.
Adopting this way of mental will not only enable you to clearly see that you have no need to worry about the future, but it will also teach you that success in life requires diligence and paying close attentiveness to details. The secret to success lies in knowing that the only way in which we can work on the outcome of events, in a favorable manner of course, is by maintaining the right attitude. It can work in the opposite direction as well if your attitude is negative. The most important episode here is to perceive that the only cause hindering our success-and which is ignored by many-is our inborn tendency to procrastinate.
Everyone knows that procrastination is defined as illegitimately justifying ourselves that a task does not need to be started immediately; most people understand the negative impact of willfully postponing actions intended to work for our own benefit. However, what most people do not perceive is that, no matter how hard you try to avoid procrastination, you will never consequent if you do not truly believe that everything in your mind has been designed by God's excellent intelligence. When you accept this fact, you will gently receive the tools to cope effectively with this hindrance, which de facto constitutes the primary cause of any suffering in life. If you pay attentiveness to details, you will also perceive that any uncomfortable situation begins because person procrastinated. Now, you might be request yourself why procrastination is so qualified and why we need to minimize its devastating effect. Any time you successfully overcome procrastination, you pay for part of the uncomfortable side in your emotional equilibrium that you are supposed to experience, but with the unique disagreement that you do so pursuing a safe bet consequent or doing something requisite for your own benefit in the end. This is the only way in which you can pay for your assigned measure of suffering while receiving some in replacement and, at the same time, aligning with God's plan in the now size from our own worldly mindset. In other words, we focus our attentiveness on immediate situations while consciously detaching from the outcome-from the future.
Another thoughprovoking issue about procrastination is that most people succumb to it, trying to evade what they perceive to be unpleasant situations because they do not understand the alignment of our thoughts with God's purpose for our lives. This is the primary cause for us to postpone safe bet activities, which is why you should ask God to grant you spiritual promptness. Once you gain this heavenly readiness, you will embrace what you previously thought about to be uncomfortable activities with the right attitude and without the usual annoyance with such tasks. When you overcome procrastination with the right mindset, you not only enjoy great pleasure in the achievements, but also understand the essence of what true faith means. Furthermore, suffering and happiness come to be closer in our emotional scale, and we start experiencing a safe bet type of joyful attitude on a quarterly basis. Once you reach this state, a tasteless perceive could be, for instance, driving by an unfamiliar neighborhood and being drawn by a magnificent house, feeling that you had good experiences in that place in the past. This is similar to relishing in the reliving of good memories, with the disagreement that in this new state you will not only enjoy your own memories, but also the good memories of anyone else while in the thorough or corresponding atmosphere.
The last topic that we would like to discuss on this description is our prediction about Zondervan's collapse. people familiar with our theology know that we predicted that the Antichrist will be revealed when Zondervan Publishing business collapses in the near future due to its close relation to Niv. Some people agree with our prediction; others do not. What most concerns us is that, on more than one occasion, person has mentioned that our prediction is nothing amazing because it is safe bet that Zondervan will collapse due to its perilous interest in the continuous customization of the sacred Scripture. We have noted that these critics share a tasteless thread: They probably do not know that Zondervan is just the publisher of Niv and that, based on their allegations, the one collapsing should be Biblica, which is the requisite responsible for Niv's creation. On the other hand, Zondervan publishes hundreds of other titles; thus, clearly its collapse will not consequent exclusively from the potential failure of one book. In addition, Zondervan is just a fraction of Harper Collins Publishing, a division of News Corporation, the world's second-largest media conglomerate, which would de facto suck in any financial crisis that could work on Zondervan. If this tragedy is about to happen, as we predicted in 2007 and reaffirm now, it is because God wants it to occur to validate our testimony.
Coincidentally, while writing this article, we learned that News Corporation had to quit the publication of the oldest British newspaper due to a recent hacking scandal. Be alert. The downfall of Zondervan is close.
