Heaven-now attitude

A complete attitude can be attained that is heaven-now. It is based on understanding of all and everything. No resentment, only gratitude. It can't be angry at anything. It understands all.

There's a sort of law that says if you understand something you can't be disagreeable towards it. You can think (or know) it's wrong as blood drinking and worthy of being condemned by words and actions, but that won't entail being disagreeable towards it.

Righteous anger is often spoken of as a substitute for everyday worldly anger. Righteous anger is a troublesome notion to me. Who is righteous? We have laws to protect us from the 'righteous' anger of our fellow man. Fellow fallen man. I'm not saying be hamstrung to condemn anything, but see in yourself what you dislike in others before you unleash any righteous anger on anyone.

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord, I shall repay.

I got off track, but the only goal of resentment is, ultimately, to burn down the world, which is hell itself.

Love your enemy is not a worldly moral stance. It is a self-interested stance of a follower of Christ.

We get something from it. We don't get caught in the webbing of the world.

Living Book

I hate hearing about dreams. Usually they're presented as prophecy though. Not this. I finally had a dream that wasn't stupid and empty and like I was pranking myself. I dreamed I was in a bookstore in the afterlife, and I found a silver-colored book that was alive. When I woke up I imagined the language in the book had to come into focus with meaning based on my level of being I brought to it. I wondered what kind of book would be like that in this world. Of course the Bible. (The Homeric epics too, but preeminently the Bible.)

Alarms are sounded by the seminary crowd. Allegory! Eisegesis! Two-tiered Christianity! Gnosticism!!

It's possible to stay on the King's Highway (the straight and narrow, the old paths) and see deeper into the living language of the Bible.

You have to know how to increase your level of being though. (That's about *being awake* and *loving your enemy* to degrees unknown in the worldly world. Read Fourth Way by Ouspensky for a sophisticated language on the ideas, practices, and goals of such a thing. Or read a typical seminary-educated pastor and stay in the nursery. Sounds mean, but truth is truth, sometimes hard.)

Always have to add that the book the Fourth Way is not Scripture and thus is not pure wheat from a pure Christian point-of-view. It isn't written using biblical or Christian theological language and intentionally and self-consciously avoids mixing languages (because that does damage to both languages). Though the Fourth Way is esoteric Christianity nevertheless. Esoteric meaning practical. It does not present the Gospel (salvation), yet it does give deep insight on the law (not obviously though). Basically it is the subject of progressive sanctification. Thus it needs the foundation of regeneration. Without that it is just a very advanced self-help book of sorts. Giving you ability to be the most awake person in hell. It's also not for everybody because its practices put you starkly on the spiritual battlefield, and if you're not ready look out. Also, you need to acquire the actual book. E-book versions are corrupt in various ways and usually missing critical diagrams.
