I interview the Holy Spirit

Hello. Thank you for taking some time for this interview.

How do you do.

What do you think of Christians today, generally?

Battlestar Galactica.

Yes, they are shallow, mostly, aren't they?

Asleep. Vain. Shallow.

If there were one book, other than the Bible, you would recommend to wake them up which would it be?

Pilgrim's Progress. I've been pushing it for hundreds of years now. Unfortunately even when it does get read the message isn't received.

I use Bunyan's language alot when describing Christians. They are mostly living in Bunyan's Village of Morality and refuse to come out. Can they even really call themselves Christians as long as they are in there?

Anybody can call themselves Christian.

Any advice for the average Village of Morality Christian?

None particularly.

Do you prefer Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?

Both are OK. Boo.

You work closely with the Word of God. Could you settle which is the true and whole Word of God: the traditional text underlying the Authorized Version, 1611, or the so-called critical text underlying all the modern versions?

You know.

Yes, I know, but most Christians today seem to not have discernment on this foundational issue.

So be it. Just ask them: "Which text requires you to humble yourself to it?" They know the answer.

They want to dictate to it and determine for themselves just what the Word of God is and will be. The progressive nature of their enterprise itself should give away their motive to themselves, but-

But they are in rebellion. So be it. Don't follow them.

Could you be described as "conscious influence"?

Don't speak out of school.

You're a Person of few words. Have you ever appeared to someone as a centaur by a river?

I'm capable of that.

What books other than the Bible would you recommend generally?

Always "other than the Bible"...

I mean if you've already read the Bible. Or, if the Bible is currently beyond you.

Here's what you do, Panopeia...

Shhhh...

Read everything until you begin to discern different levels of influence. Then ascend up the hierarchy of influences by engaging influences that are just above or beyond your current interests and understanding. Then never get stuck on any one level of influence. Exploit everything, never join anything. Give your allegiance to nothing until you get to the summit. And beyond the summit. Here's a way to know you are moving upward: higher influences tend to require more directed attention and effort to engage them, and higher influences tend to be more rare the higher you go. Many at the base of the mountain, very few at the summit.

Would you recommend engaging a summit level influence when you're still at the base of the mountain in your development?

Yes. This effort gives you a possibility of knowing the mountain exists to begin with. The climb has to be made, though, in a real way, eventually.

How do you know which are the individuals you are to make born again?

It will show in their eyes. And general demeanor.

Are reprobates robots?

Effectively. Don't tell anybody.

Yet they have something in that they have the spirit of the devil in them.

It gives them some direction, yes.

But individuals who have the spirit of the devil in them yet who are also capable of being born again have something else in them.

This is getting too deep for me. Suffice to say: you're either there, or you're not there. If you're there be grateful to your Creator. If you're not there you have nothing to lose. There are other possibilities, more unique cases, rare though.

Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Once you know.

I feel safe.

Don't get too comfortable.

Spiritual warfare.

The way to the Holy Land is a battlefield. Expect friction.
