The 49th Mystic
Page 42
Book of Acts 9:18; 26:18 ESV
9) For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh. But anyone joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. (Not in flesh but as spirit. Our true identity, not in temporal earthen vessel flesh but as spirit.)
Paulus’s First Letter to Corinth 6:16–17 HCSB
And they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (How we can be one with Christ is the great mystery, incomprehensible to Paulus’s intellect and ours, thus mysticism.)
Paulus to Ephesus 5:31–32 KJV
10) The Father . . . will give you another Helper . . . that is the Spirit of truth . . . In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. (We will know that we are one with Christ. Knowing our union with our Creator is the primary function of the Spirit. Only then can we bear the Spirit’s fruit of love, joy, and peace in this life.)
Book of Johnin 14:16–17, 20
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them (same glory), that they may be one, just as (in the same way) We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity (now), so that the world may know that You sent Me (now), and loved them (now), even as You have loved Me. (The power of knowing our union Inchristi is a true love that holds no record of wrong. It always flows like living water from those who now know who they are Inchristi. Only then will the world know they are loved.)
Book of Johnin 17:22–23
11) You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all. (Yeshua declared this to the outcast and destitute of his day. The good news.)
Book of Matthew 5:14–15
12) He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. (Written words are not the Word. The Word is Christ in us, Inchristi.)
Paulus’s Second Letter to Corinth 3:6 NIV
Relating to Chapter 26
1) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you . . . Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? . . . How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! (No need to fear.)
Book of Matthew 7:7, 9–11 NIV
2) Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature. (Participate in divinity, joined as one with Christ. Our true identity is the light divine, already risen, dwelling temporarily in earthen vessels.)
Second Book of Petrus 1:4 NIV
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them (the same glory) that they may be one, just as (in the same way) We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity (experience that union), so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as (in the same way) You have loved Me. (A love that holds no record of wrong is the natural fruit of our awakening to union with Christ. Only this love will show the world Christ. This love is our testimony of the good news. Gospel.)
Book of Johnin 17:22–23
In that day (the coming of the Spirit of Truth) you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. (Yeshua’s powerful statement of union.)
Book of Johnin 14:20
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live (old self is a lie), but Christ lives in me (true identity Inchristi); and the life which I now live in the flesh (in the earthen vessel) I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Paulus to Galatia 2:20
For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God (true identity).
Paulus to Colossae 3:3
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. (When our bodies die, we gain by fully realizing who we already were before our bodies died. Inchristi.)
Paulus to Philippi 1:21
Relating to Chapter 28
1) Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed (not a future event that signs will show us); nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ (It is not seen with eyes, above or below, nor is it a destination.) For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.” (It is everywhere now and within. A dimension now present.)
Book of Luke 17:20–21
2) But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (in the same way Christ lives today, so do we—as spirit), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (We are already raised, spirit rather than flesh.)
Paulus to Ephesus 2:4–6
Therefore if anyone is (since a person is) in Christ, he is a new creature (not who he thought he was); the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. (When one awakens to the truth, their old view of reality is replaced by a new one.)
Paulus’s Second Letter to Corinth 5:17
For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form (Christ dwells in our earthen vessels), and in (union with) Him you have been made complete (Greek word means “perfect”), and He is the head over all rule and authority.
Paulus to Colossae 2:9–10
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Paulus to Galatia 2:20
The Father . . . will give you another Helper . . . that is the Spirit of truth . . . In that day you will know that I am in the Father, and you in Me, and I in you (joined as one).
Book of Johnin 14:16–17, 20
If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world (polarity), why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees . . . ?
Paulus to Colossae 2:20
As He is, so also are we in this world. (How is Christ right now? That is who we are, right now. He in us, we in him, one in the Father. Inchristi is all; Inchristi is in all.)
First Book of Johnin 4:17
3) And those whom he foreknew (all his children, before the foundations of the universe), he also fashioned in the likeness of the image of his Son, that he would be The Firstborn of many brethren (brothers; Christ is our elder brother). And those whom he pre-fashioned (all of his children), he called, and those whom he called, he made righteous, and those whom he made righteous, he glorified. (Past tense. Our true state of being right now. All who were known in the mind of God before creation are now glorified, however blind to their glory.)
Paulus to Rome 8:29–30 ABPE
The glory which You (God) have given Me (Yeshua) I have given to them (us) that they may be one, just as (in the same way) We are one; I in them and You in Me. (We have the same glory that Christ has, right now, not as infinite beings, but as an aspect of the Infinite, one with him.)
Book of Johnin 17:22–23
Be perfect (be, not become, perfect), as your heavenly Father is perfect. (We are complete Inchristi, thus we are invited to act as we truly are, complete.)
Book of Matthew 5:48
4) But Christ is all, and in all. (Christ is me, and joined as one, we are in my earthen vessel. Both is and in. Paulus’s most direct statement of many on our union with Christ. Inchristi.)
Paulus to Colossae 3:11
For many will come in My name, saying, “I am the Christ,” and will mislead many. (No other is the Christ in exclusion any more than they are the Albino or the Christian. Christ is all and in all, the great mystery. Nor can any earthen vessel claim they are Christ, for Christ is Spirit, not earthen vessel.)
Book of Matthew 24:5
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ . . . and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Only blindness prevents us from seeing what is true of who we are, resurrected in Christ.)
Paulus to Ephesus 2:4–6
That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection (to know the great power of our resurrection with Christ) and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death (by counting our earthen vessel as dead).
Paulus to Philippi 3:10
Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh (earthen vessel), even though we have known Christ according to the flesh (when he was in an earthen vessel), yet now we know Him in this way no longer.
Paulus’s Second Letter to Corinth 5:16
Referring to Chapter 37
1) As He [Jesus] passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works (glory) of God might be displayed in him.” (As in us all.)
Book of Johnin 9:1–3
Of note to all who read the letters of Paulus
Paulus’s letters written later in his life (Colossians, Ephesians, and so on) were more mystical than earlier letters and focused on our true identity as one with Christ while we yet live in these earthen vessels, which return to dust. He called our being one with Christ “the great mystery” (letter to Ephesus 5:32).
Thus, we call ourselves Mystics.
This is the essence of our mysticism: aligning to our union with the infinite One who cannot be fathomed by intellect alone. By doing so, we find ourselves in the world but not of it, flowing with peace, power, and above all, a love that holds no record of wrong, the truest evidence of our awakening, without which all other evidence is nothing. Only this kind of love will awaken the world to the glory of Christ made manifest on earth.
