The Spiritual Story of Democracy
As told through the structural drama of our house of knowledge
************** The following story is a challenge for most adults to read not because it has high-end vocabulary or works from complicated word usage—it does not—but because it requires intensive visualizing. It introduces a new way of looking at democracy to help us get through these dangerous times. I hope you see the seriousness of the times we are in and will take this challenge.
The introduction covers several essentials to understanding the relationship between spirituality and democracy. However, if you wish to go right to the story, the chapter links are below.

Now that Name has provided the framework of our house of knowledge and we understand spiritual blindness, we will turn to Word for “sheathing” knowledge in the form of a structural drama. To see it in action as names of light, we will visualize a spiritual story with Name in the center and complete the construction of our house, built according to the principle. If you need help in visualizing, read Preparation for The Spiritual Story of Democracy. The goal is to envision the story with the light of unconditional love, the most powerful and peaceful light in the mind of our hearts.
Democracy is Name’s Plan for the Entire World
To clarify the issue of democracy in spirituality and religion, consider these words written some 3,000 years ago, in them referring to us as elohim.1
"[Observe] elohim [us] positioned in the Congregation of El [a singular form for God]. In the midst of elohim, He [El] judges, [saying], ‘How long will you [elohim] judge unjustly and show the faces of the wicked partiality.'" (Note that words like wicked and evil are to be understood in their context of spiritual blindness, allowing for the principle to resist but forgive such people since they do not know what they are doing.) Psalm 82:1-2
Although taken from religious text, the Bible, these words describe a form of democracy, rule by the people from Greek, as sanctioned within the rule of Name (God or Life depending on our beliefs). The same text states that Name does not want kings to rule over the people, but the people ignored that.2 It also states that Word (Christ or truth also depending on our beliefs) taught that if people do not believe in him, they should at least believe in his works, all of them expressing his teaching on agapé, unconditional love. He laid the groundwork for democracy with or without religious belief after teaching agapé, for it cannot survive without it.
Note
Before getting to the story, there are a few things to cover. First, when something resonates in our heart as true but does not stay there long, it may not be true at all, or we are not doing our part to keep it there. The impression a strong light can make on our eyes can be seen after we close them, but only for a short while. It is different with our inner senses.
The truth we hear in human language can only make a temporary impression on the senses of our heart because such words are of a different nature. Word said that the words he spoke are spirit and life. When we receive human words that resonate truth in our hearts, all truth originating from Name and its agapé, it is up to us to manifest their spiritual essence, living meaning, if we want to possess them in our heart. Once possessed there, they work as an engraver to see everyone with, discerning both beautiful and worthless things without judging. Before we are able to do this, our mind recognizes the worthlessness present with us, even though we want to see the beautiful.
The story is central in this series of articles. If things get too abstract, go to an earlier one in the Index of Articles for more explanation. Discussion 4, The Spiritual Drama of Democracy is very useful to see how to do your part in the story. Remember that your heart will naturally possess the spiritual essence of whatever rings true to you—if you do your part to understand it more and more as you read on.
Review
The arguments of proof in the first five articles have prepared us to put aside all or at least most doubts so that we can build our house of knowledge. Argument 2 explains why we should not resist blindness. Argument 5 explains the role of necessary blindness, which is essential to understand if we are to stop resisting blindly and complete formation of our house. What is the difference? Resisting blindness is like resisting a shadow. Resisting actions based on blindness is necessary, but we should not try to do so while blind ourselves.
We make ourselves spiritually blind when choosing not to practice the principle, for such blindness is the inability to recognize agapé and the principle is all about agapé. It happens when we choose not to love even though we are able, free from blindness. As a result, we cannot bear the sight of ourselves, or better put, cannot stand the sight of agapé reflecting in us, so we use moral standards to hide from agapé, from ourselves.
We may be completely convinced that our moral standards (ethics) are superior to those of others. But even if true, without the principle, we are hiding from ourselves and resisting the actions of their blindness blindly. In this state we are unable to build our house. In the past, we usually had no choice but to resist blindly unless we knew our role in allowing the conscience (suneidesis)3 to restore our spiritual sight. So let’s continue building our house by choosing to learn about the principle, our part in having Word restore our spiritual sight.
The first article, called The Eyes of Democracy, states that the principle is the true structure of our house, making the light of all others more important in it while not being against our own. The structure is secure through a well balanced inward-and-outward exchange of importance. It brings outer light, with its uniqueness enhanced by the exchange, inside to see the inside of our house and things outside. This is the nature of democracy in our singularity, the manifestation of our world suneidesis.4
The Doors of our House
We are using words like—bringing outer light inside—figuratively only, as spiritual dimensions are different. In describing the House of Name, the knowledge of Word states:
“The door of the side chamber toward the open space [is] one door toward the north and one door toward the south, and the width of the open space [is] five cubits all around.” Ezek. 41:11
One door that is actually two, facing opposite directions, figuratively describes spiritual dimensions in the mind of our heart, those of our agapé doors. Quantum mechanics explains matter or energy in two different places simultaneously. The same thing occurs spiritually when the principle is at work between us in Name. Making the light of each other more important in Word’s singularity lays out the visual groundwork.
The agapé doors prevent the duality name from blinding us to the visual groundwork in our own house of knowledge. The groundwork clearly shows Name to be the source of all things and how they are made to appear sourced in us through the duality name, like anger, fear (yirah), and desire, explained in The Practical Guide. Keep this in mind if you would during the story since the duality name is not even mentioned. That is because it can distract from the natural flow of envisioning every sentence during the story. The word blindness cannot be avoided, but that too raises concern of wasting efforts to see something symbolizing it.
The Piety Light in our Doors
Knowledge of Word provides us with special usage of the piety of Word for this very purpose. When the duality name uses blindness, only in the part that designates us spiritually dead, the piety light of Word appears in a special transparent jasper. It is jasper since the City of Agapé Light is both golden, representing agapé, and jasper, representing the piety of agapé.5
Resisting blindness and the actions of the blind blindly are actions that cannot enter through agapé doors or the piety light in them. They are actions that do not adhere to the house’s structure of importance. Committing such actions through appearances, Argument 2, we make ourselves more important in our illusory house and appear in Word’s transparent jasper in addiction to thinking we are Name’s golden agapé. This house uses moral standards to govern the suneidesis, which leads to addiction and spiritual civil war, a divided house destined to fall, Argument 3. In the house built on the principle of Word, however, we can spiritually fast and restore peace, Argument 4.
About Spiritual Stories
All of the knowledge we have discussed in the series up to this point has been in nonstory form. It has been, however, part of the real nonfiction story of our daily lives. As with anything else, whether we are talking about this knowledge or thinking about it while driving to work or eating, whatever our life story is about at that moment, knowledge about our spiritual story cannot be excluded from our world life story.
Writing common stories, fiction or nonfiction, creates word stories within our world life story. Such word stories either use knowledge detached from the story plot and just talk about it or make it central to the plot. Spiritual stories are neither fiction nor nonfiction as it relates to the world, for they are about the essence of spirit and, thus, use knowledge differently. They are within but not of our world life story, as our world life story is within but not of our spiritual stories.
The Example of Supersession
According to knowledge of Word, “nothing unclean will enter it [the City of Agapé Light].” In spiritual stories, the future tense of “will enter” is encompassed by the spiritual present (see the Now of Word). While we are all there presently in substance, since Word is everyone’s life, our awareness of being there is superseded by Word when we are blind to Name’s agapé light in the city. For such blindness is the essence of uncleanness and cannot enter. This is part of every spiritual story, which is in but not of our world life story.
Often short in length, spiritual stories are compact since all of their words are envisioned not for mere entertainment but for training in envisioning the agapé of Word. They consist of knowledge that is both alive and the plot itself. For knowledge of Word states:
“You have put on the new [image], which is BEING RENEWED INTO KNOWLEDGE (this Greek word means ‘mature knowledge’), according to the image of the One [Name] who created him [Adam, interpreted symbolically or not, referring to us, being spiritually renewed into living mature knowledge through the image of the living Word, Life restoring life].” Colossians 3:10
When the dramatic language of spiritual stories resonates truth in your heart, possess it the same way by manifesting its spiritual essence, but in its aspects of story essence.
Chapter One - Shackled in Vision
The generational war is raging again in our national singularity. Yet, it is still part of the outer light and must be “brought” inside to see with through the structural drama of our house of knowledge. As usual, the spiritual party of politics on both sides allows the light of their agapé to tesselate only with those who make themselves more important than the other side, the perceived enemy. It is fatally dividing the singularity and corrupting the reflective/nonreflective nature of national suneidesis in them both, Democrats and Republicans, shackling their false collective self-visions to each other. They are camped outside our house in view of our front door that is two, which appears to them as only one door because neither will make the other more important—according to the principle maintaining the soundness of our house of knowledge.
Chapter Two - Mirrored in Vision
The Agapé Door That is Two
The blind parties of politics are arrayed in their collective jasper visions facing each other in front of our house of knowledge. Each uses their divided suneidesis to form corrupt images of the other that make them want to defy each other. Even with senses trained for such intensively bright blindness, we can perceive them in full only with the principle, for it alone keeps our suneidesis singular in its reflective/nonreflective nature. For this reason, we make the light of their warring drama outside more important than our peaceful drama inside.
Using the principle this way luminates its structural drama throughout both sides of their drama. As a result, a single transparency of Name brightens conspicuously in our luminosity. In it they see a way to get inside, large enough to accommodate their entire network of biased visions, one side seeing a democracy, the other a republic. In the substantive part of their story, neither of them recognizes that the structural drama permeating them is Word in us and them, the agapé door that is two.
With the strong arms of compassion pulsating a bridge of light across the void between us, we welcome them in their jasper blindness and beckon them in. At the very same moment, the golden world singularity, brightly reflecting in our suneidesis, streams across the bridge and enters the weak visions of both camps. We touch the world singularity suspended blindly in both of them and reflect it back into us. We do not so much hijack their blind agapé singularity as borrow it seeing. As a result, the darkened visions of both parties see its trailing light and together follow it, passing through our agapé door that is two twice, once for themselves, once for each other.
Inside the House of Knowledge
An entrance inscrutably out of reach for both of them, it can never be seen without the principle. In their blindness, how could they ever be co-conscientiously aware that any of this transpired through their jasper pupil of darkness—in a galaxy-sized foyer now suspending them in our house of knowledge? Nonetheless, they, along with us, are allowed to watch their own defying visions appear in the infinite tessellations of Word’s golden agapé singularity. It fills every corner of the expanse in our foyer. Although already permeating each other, both parties are transparentized and can now, in part, see each other directly within themselves. They do not see the monsters they expected of each other, but do see the ones they were looking through, created in some forgotten generation uninherited.
They are five trillion cubits spiritually deep in the light of the foyer’s single permeation, yet equally visible on its clear surface light. Both parties together are transparentized once again. Instantaneously, iridescent words come out of everywhere and emanate radiantly though opaquely between them. So opaque in fact, they each use them to hide behind inside of each other, while desperately mirroring back the stinging light reflecting in them—originating in each other’s golden agapé faces of light.
This permeating collage of hiding and reflecting iridescences becomes the engraver of their sight and the illusion appears. The one divided national suneidesis between them appears in transparent jasper. In an illusory display of events, its fiery dissonance opacitizes the foyer walls housing them. Their iridescent words and stinging agapé light seem right at home within its fires. Bending and twisting itself back far enough—by the will of one name in each of its camps—their national suneidesis sees into its own opaque dream and allows both names to envision themselves as God. One engraves it literally but only in a sense, the other figuratively by believing that they can bring peace without the principle.
Ruling over the others in their respective camps, each of them has a plan to surreptitiously enslave the collective visions of both parties. So forming their respective visions of enslavement on the fiery walls of their imagination, shades of jasper beauty in the foyer, each one enthrones the other as its jasper antichrist of blindness.
Chapter Three - Enter and Exit
The Story Light of Agapé lights on Every Surface
Before the fiery sight engraved on themselves, these parties of blind light and their gods, the golden radiant presence of Word’s world singularity rises through the deepest peripheral places of the foyer instantly. A small part of its eternity surfaces right before their faces—stopping conscientious time in their illusory display of events. Handling their broken visions with regard, Word translates and interprets their blind light and manifests them a second time but now outside the foyer. The partially-opened light-folds of their eyes look. Staggering at the sight of the full spectrum of visible thoughts and feelings, they realize that they are in the structural drama of our house of knowledge.
Unaware of their first presence still in the foyer, the remanifest political camps are paralyzed at the sight of the structural drama of Word’s light. A living montage of pure passions flows through them. As their will slowly returns though, they try not to misuse Word’s purity too much while making it look like they are finally making our light more important than their own. One party does so to convince us of the higher moral standards they follow in their belief in God without the principle, the other to convince us that democracy requires tolerance between moral standards but does not see a need for the principle either.
Without a sound spoken, the mirrors our thoughts mirror in the structural drama automatically reflect—in the open sky—the untessellated feelings both sides have for us. Detached from the agapé light of our faces and affixed to their own in self-adoration, such feelings, though often felt with good intentions, cannot make anyone else more important.
Blindly resisting the patronizing actions of their blindness a lost dark art, we strenuously resist them in the full jasper light of the structural drama. Thus, our passion for what is true mingles among them, forming the contours of Name’s luminosity dialogue. Not surprising but lamented, they cannot translate this speech, for the lies they believe have become their vision tongue, even among those who do not lie but fail to use the principle.
All our attempts to join human and spiritual locutions are failing. Yet despite their inability to convey any of Word’s visions, even within themselves, like blind helpless fallen angels, we find a way to share meaning with them. Through their opaque sounds, we say to them both, “Bless you. We humble ourselves before your beauty in Name.” Even though they cannot see their beauty in Name, it helps them feel it and that allows our meaning to get through.
At the risk of being drawn into the limited, often manipulative, agapé on both sides, we begin right away telling them The Spiritual Story of Democracy that we are all in. We bring attention to passages in its light where self-love blocks the view of agapé’s singularity-light—as it passes through itself in all of us simultaneously. The passages lead to the liberator saving the self-lover from the weight of the entire singularity breaking through its blockage. For in such blindness, one does not realize that they only think that they are restricting the light’s self-passage to themselves alone, completely unaware of the dangers of not knowing that they are doing so with their entire political party.
Forgiving them though is no feat at all, seeing how much we dearly love who they both really are. Their bodily political names radiate with beautiful faces living-deep in Name. All levels of their agapé names work through their positions in Word’s political singularity. As an expression of our true feelings for them, they are who, even as some of the least of humankind in their blindness, we give Name all our agapé light through first. And as this part of the story light of agapé lights on every jasper surface of their blindness, the following is allowed to manifest in the structural drama of our house of knowledge.
Word-Made-Flesh Enters the House
Out of their pupils of blindness while still within them permeationally, Word-made-flesh appears. The form peers at them through an opaque light they know and think they can trust. Word-made-flesh appears in the precise form both sides like to imagine him in, religiously or not—due only to the fact that they cannot see the world singularity of Word’s lustrous transparencies in the City of Agapé Light. Speaking through this opaque light, Word says,
“I told you that I had more to tell you and that you were not able to receive it.”
Then, Name, speaking from its own Spirit—the Holy Spirit, Great Spirit or however named depending on one’s beliefs—and articulating through the Spirit of Word in its angelic or conveyance transparencies, depending, says to both camps:
“My little children, elohim, agapé names of bodily light.”
Seeing Name speak empowers both sides to pass through their opaque visions of Word-made-flesh. Name’s luminosity of thought exhibits them gazing at their own bodily agapé light as it emanates in the humble image of Word in all its lustrous transparencies. Laying exposed are the three arrogant sub-realities that restrained them outside our house of knowledge. Within the sight of their gaze, Name’s thought luminosity completes the rebirth of their image, transforming it in the mega-enlightening, super-crystal spirals turning in Word’s political singularity, all of which tessellates the other golden singularities into it. But they can absorb only the slightest burst of a glimpse of their true form in Word, since they still like to think they are making themselves more important than each other and us.
As Name’s light supremacy and voice cannot but appears to gradually leave them, reshadowing their blindness and deafness, they gradually reach the end of their newfound understanding. Here, in a tangible place of misunderstanding, unable to live any longer without being the agapé names they glimpsed at too quickly, they blindly face a door within them that is one door. Suspended transparently before but invisible to them at the same door that is two, we watch them. Even the trailing crystalline eternities spiraling within their own world-light singularity escape them. These are Word’s latter iridescences shining in the luminosity of Name speaking to them.
The Democratic, Republican and now Independent political names in Word’s light singularity, all rejecting the principle of unconditional love, are moving in their senescent jasper beauty toward the self-blinding national abyss within. Insisting in their thoughtless luminosity that they are physical creatures, they seek to return to their earlier vision of Word, Word-made-flesh. They want to come back under its protection from their own misunderstanding of Word.
However, “it would have been better for them not to have known the way of the righteousness [of Name’s light singularity in Word], than having known [it], to have turned away from the holy commandment [of unconditional love] delivered to them.” (2 Peter 2:21)
Faces of Living-Deep Feelings
Blindness has fully returned in them. So naturally they again refuse to make us more important than themselves or each other. Further denigrating us with their self-loving light, they form it into a sub-singularity out of the light of our own house. But as they leave in their imagination, none of them can bear the thought—yet desires to as all that remains of such purity to hold on to—of looking back at the agapé singularity-light of our golden faces for them reflecting in theirs for us. All are faces of living-deep feelings in Name’s City of Agapé Light, felt correctly or incorrectly even by those who cannot see them.
Unbelievably, the blind agapé name of one political party desperately looks back and focuses on us during its final glance, then another, then the third. All choose to stay and wait forever in the hope of Name appearing again through the jasper light they see in us and speaking to them for just one moment.
As everyone can see but them, their positions in our house of knowledge are more important to Name than anyone else’s at this time-filled moment in Word’s Now. In the transcendence of The Spiritual Story, the luminosity of Name’s vision-speaking dialogue reads their every inflection of blind jasper light and manifests it with and without its illusion. Each mood change between them is laid bare. They are nothing less than pan-symmetrical mood shifts between the real and what they have invented in their feelings.
And so, in the symphony of Name’s vision-speaking dialogue, with great fanfare, the story luminosity begins singing the song of their story in the First Movement. Immediately, their light-faceted names are fully staged above the Grand Symphony of Word’s Divine Passion for Different Futures. Their mood shifts, played in the musical transparent colors of sky blue, for all to see, are seen with clear crystal compassion or not seen at all.
The Second and Third Movements of their storied songs play out the tragedies others created for them and those they created for themselves. These are both tragedies a second time over since, aside from being names of self-soiled garments, they are both blind to Word’s tailored moods of hope reflecting on their inner surfaces. Under Word’s high intensity of selfless feelings for others, blazing quartz is formed and quickly cooled into the sublime clarity of mind-feelings found in spiritual moods. But purposefully made out of reach for them, they resonate in the corners of their pupils until they acknowledge the singularity-intensity of all political parties. Therefore, in due and earned season, their Finale of Consequences begins.
Exhibits of the worthlessness through which they had seen each other’s lives rise up. Each exhibit thus also displays the consequences of their having worshipped themselves as self-sustaining political names of light. It made their nation-name appear to them as greater than all others, instead of lesser than all others in the eyes of their lost humility. Envisioning equally is not an option in the principles of spirituality.
In an apocalyptic clash between fissures of their failed songs, in utterly forced silence, the Symphony appears to end. Permeating the ashes of this blind un-enlightenment, an infinitesimal seeing array sees itself again. Dressed in it throughout the story, through it all, in the structural drama light of our house of knowledge, they hear it envisioning something in the Now of Word within themselves. Reflecting each other magnificently in nonreflection, the blissful iridescence of Name and Word’s conversation manifests out of them within Itself, bringing with Itself a new future.
Explicitly, from the very rear of their first presence in the foyer, the names who once accused each other of being the jasper antichrist, who believed they were God in their own strange way, now run wildly toward wherever Name may be. Without self-perception though of their suspended positions in the structural drama light, not the universal light empty of its own life, they move recklessly between Name and Word’s spoken visions. These self-luminations remanifest and yield vividly to each other in billions of pathways each and every way—vivifying the universal light as best as it can reflect it.
With the joy of little children though, suddenly their eyes open pandirectionally, inwardly and outwardly, and they see Name having always been its own supreme pan-permeation in and right before them many times in the Now of Word. Without delay, the others use the light-folds of their eyes as windows to see and regain their reflective/nonreflective nature in the singularity of their national suneidesis.
Ecstatically, they once again see the pan-fullness of Name from each other’s position in their political singularity, streaming permeationally through their other singularities in it as well. Humbly making each other more important again consciously, they see the pan-fullness of Name again within and through their nation-name singularity, all in Word’s lustrous world suneidesis. Freeing them from the universal light unable to vivify this, they see Name many times again and again in and through all the nation-names of the world. Their corrected vision pathways brighten in the pure silence of peace never taken by force. The Symphony ends in the presence of omni-enlightened democracy in the United States of America.
Are they not part of the super-crystallizing spirals in Word’s world golden singularity, mega-enlightening us—as we envision it all in the thought luminosity of Name speaking to us? We are sublimely free in making each other’s political names and all other nation-names and world-names more important in this, without being against our own in the City of Agapé and Piety Light. Yielding our own self-luminations of Name to each other in Word’s other-importance, we are consciously participating again in The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Chapter Four - Translated in Vision
Where is your agapé?
Following the envisioned ending of the generational war between conflicting national visions, there is a well-earned rest for the sons and daughters of peace. On a new day, the remaining conflicting visions throughout the world start rising up together in front of our house of knowledge, always between blind agapé names resisting each other’s blindness against the principle. Seeing agapé names are engaged but never resist blindness and are thus never part of the conflict between the jasper visions of Word’s piety light.
Without fail, they first gather right in front of us as the agapé door that is two in our structural drama, without recognizing us or anything else other than the door. We face pan-north and pan-south here, confounding them so as to keep them far away from us as the galactic foyer of our structural drama, that is, until Name decides they are ready to think about the question, “Where is your agapé?”, and ask each other. And if they decide they are ready to learn about it, Word will teach them how to yield their own self-luminations of Name to each other, according to the principle of Word.
Personal, political, national, religious and atheistic conflicting visions, they all want to witness for themselves the incredible dimensional stories told about our house of knowledge. Is it the sole structure of the principle alone that is holding its mid-spirit suspension in place from all point fields in the City of Agapé Light? They want to understand how Word conjoined all of our houses to each other permeationally in this one suspended position—simply by showing us how to yield our visions to each other, including the superseded ones of enemies of the principle.
Using our multi-leveled permeational house as a deep reticle, Word aligned the blind light in all three political names of this generational war to enable them to appear before Name through each other—as Name looked directly at them through their new self-visions. Seeing each other through Name’s agapé face looking at them, they de-weaponized their minds by choice because of the kindness in Name’s face. They did away with the de-structural drama of the physical creature, which, in the foyer, freed its joints from the involuntary reactions playing them transparently like an accordion.
Now the political names exchange their self-luminations of Name with each other freely, even through their personal names in Word’s singularity of them. Together, they even share in the spiritual joints and marrow of Word’s permeational body in the City of Agapé Light.
The remaining conflicts in the world, however, gathering at our door coming and going, cannot enter to find out how this all works. For as should be expected, their sight is shackled through what to them is the mysterious dimensions of Word’s tessellating singularity. Appearing to engulf the outside of our house of knowledge like a dark tempest, their perception of the golden world singularity is formed out of their love for darkness. For they cannot grasp that there is no darkness in Name anywhere.
Collectively deceived, they are the greatest entourage of blind piety light in existence, throughout history. Although glorious to them, their self-perceived radiance has a value less than nothingness—in the face of their actual brilliance, gloriously radiating in the worldwide form of The Spiritual Story of Democracy. Once considered a paradox to many, in this state, they are unentered yet already manifest twice inside our house of knowledge. For Name is ready to pose the question for them to think about in their soon-to-be pre-enlightened state of mind.
For the moment, their spiritual thoughts are locked between the simple pulls of the global north and south in their brains. But these activities operate only in our foyer, where the one permeation of our conjoined house that contains the image of the universe resides. Also unbeknown to them, in their second presence, they are in what can be called the living room of our structural drama, the pan-diamond room.
Here but not here in their second presence lies the ancestral conflict of visions between the nation-names Israel and Palestine. It ensnares all the conflicting visions that remain in the world in a chasm of anger and fear. While the ancestral appears to be holding them together in a nonexistent dead center, this room’s light of transcendences refuses to even acknowledge them. For the chasm works against Name’s full permeating spectrum of visible thoughts, feelings and moods.
Watch how the spectrum of the pan-diamond repeatedly permeates the image of the universe in the foyer. In return, its chasm and ancestral images wear a blank gaze facing the spectrum. It is plain that, in the same absolute position of Name’s permeating spectrum, the universal image itself cannot permeate anything, including itself. Thus, while displayed magnificently in the one permeation holding it, the image and its ancestral conflict of visions can only present the nation-names Israel and Palestine opaquely. Laid bare, their blindness, not their agapé names, is radiating jasper in but not of the pan-diamond room of Name’s transcending permeations.
Reaching beyond but confined to this permeational surface, the inverted tessellations between all abyssal nation-names, deep in their own blindness, form a sub-singularity in Name’s pan-diamond room. It keeps the world entertained with itself but only in the existent dead center of the foyer. There, no one can interpret the pan-mind of Word continuously translating the subliminal mind of Name passing through it—except those ready to be enlightened by the only enlightenment, the principle. The minds of those who receive it instantly permeate in all pan-directions, filling the pan-diamond room with their self-luminations of Name. Yielding to each other in the world singularity of Word’s lustrous agapé iridescences, they leave the blind entourage alone to its hardened self.
Less populated and moving further and further away from itself, the abyssal entourage believes it is in the center of Name’s pan-diamond room fully awake. And yet, they are all confounded by the words being repeated throughout the room, “Where is your agapé enlightenment? There is none other.” The rejection in their minds to the sound speaks for itself. Neither of the world-names of Israel and Palestine, Jew and Muslim, will make the other more important than itself. Keeping the world in a dream dissonance, they need a door to enter the permeational agapé light of our structural drama already in them.
Now, Israel and Palestine themselves are not enemies of our world suneidesis, only victims. They are like all the other blind agapé names enamored by the thought of an enlightenment that does not require us to love Name through our enemies. This is while, in the face of their jasper blindness, their agapé names of golden light are doing just that through Word in the superseded part of our house of knowledge.
Orchestrated Permeational Waves
Deceptively gravitating away from the true pan-north and pan-south is how they avoid giving or learning how to give Name all their agapé through the enemies of suneidesis. Consequently, their awareness of Name’s illumination in its agapé names is locked out of itself. They cannot see the massive number of their own manifestations radiating in Word’s many transparencies in Name’s pan-diamond room. The anger and fear in their abyss are displayed in truth as Name’s anger for them for not making all others more important and its yirah light cleansing their blindness but only for others to see through its jasper radiance. Yet the blind entourage is, for some unknown, irrational reason, being allowed temporary inside perception from the foyer’s non-permeational perception within.
Their awakening minds dip into what their global eyes are allowed to see—countless light-folds suddenly appearing by transparentizing in the grand seeing room. Seeing through each other in the pan-light of Word’s structural drama, they are all moving in orchestrated permeational waves.
For they are all being formed out of the light of Name’s agapé — making Word’s golden singularity light visually more important in the story — which makes the light-folds of all our permeations in its singularity visually more important by both of them and thus, working as one in each of us, makes us the actors of our own self-luminations of Name.
Taking form in our waves, the upper and lower apexes of the now seeing entourage begin to actually tessellate. Rising through both ends are the super-crystallizing spirals of Word’s world singularity. Their tessellated agapé light brings mega-enlightening thoughts to the beginning and ending of every dialogue in the story. Stunned beyond measure that agapé light can do this, they are. However, it is not until the four apexes in front of their pandirectional faces appear that—the golden singularity of Name’s pan-presence manifests out of the fragrant waves above and below and the actors of the story start speaking visions. Members of the entourage with self-luminations of Name put them on immediately.
Name and Word manifest again at the pan-diamond room’s living center for all eyes of the light-fold waves around them to behold their combined iridescent wisdom and beauty. Permeating each other directly in the midst of Palestine and Israel’s nation-name light-fold, Name and Word surround the agapé faces reflected in their storied national eyes.
Meanwhile, in full panview of everyone, Name suspends all dialogue action in The Spiritual Story. This places even the jasper illusion of its meaning contours out of reach of the de-structural minds still preying on the seeing entourage. It reveals the places they hide while wrestling Name in the foyer—all within the pan-diamond room’s plain sight. In this sudden detachment from false intellect, the predators of jasper blindness now only see forgiveness in Name and Word. Accepting agapé enlightenment at once, they see that they are the agapé faces—reflecting in the storied national eyes of Israel and Palestine—that Name and Word are surrounding.
Name speaks visions in the Worldwide Orchestrated Permeational Waves
The visions start with Word exhibiting the iridescence of Israel and Palestine’s world-names facing each other permeationally within each other. Empowered to see thousands of years of each other’s beauty in the world past, they emit a profound pan-goldenness. Announced in the Now of Word but unannounced in time, Name’s great luminosity dialogue of life between the eternities speaks to be heard in time.
“Listen to the Four Movements of Name’s World Orchestrated-Waves Symphony, each exhibiting one of the stages of world history—all crying out for democracy light in their city caves of class hatred.”
In the First Movement of the Symphony, the sublime felicity of Word’s pan-diamond room is seen permeating the endless images of pain confined to the foyer of world history, while they are unable to permeate any part of the room, which they are in but not of.
Name’s vision says, “The cries to Me have been from the beginning. Symbolic or not, the voice of Abel’s blood cried out to Me from the ground, cursing his murderer Cain from the ground. This was the first case of man’s self-rule failing, deferring democracy’s rule for quite some time. To prepare you for it, symbolic or not, Moses told you that I do not want you to have kings rule over you, for they will never let you have democracy. But you did not listen. Does not Life itself tell you this? You do not have to believe in Me to know this.”
In the Second Movement of the Symphony, Name’s vision says, “The cry of Word’s blood cried out to Me from the ground, but rather than cursing the world, I use it to forgive those who drink the blood spiritually—meaning to learn Word’s teaching to give all your agapé to Me through the least among you. For this, you must learn how to see the least in the pan-diamonds of My eyes, not just in the foyer of My house. The world wanted to kill Cain for murdering Abel because everyone saw him only in the foyer. I chose not to have him killed because I saw his future. Word’s teaching shows you how to see the agapé names of spiritual murderers and spiritual adulterers in My eyes and their jasper blindness in My foyer.”
In the Third Movement of the Symphony, Name’s vision says, “The nations did not listen, even the ones who form democracies do not base them on Word’s teaching. So nineteen centuries later, the blood of the Jews cried out to Me from the ground of the Holocaust.”
In the Fourth Movement of the Symphony, Name’s vision says, “The nations of the world are still not listening to Me, so now the blood of the Palestinians cries out to Me from the ground of Israel’s hand. All the nations cry out for Israel to stop, but Israel cannot hear you. See the one cycle at work in all Four Movements, permeating in the light-folds of the eyes of Cane, Abel, Word, Israel and Palestine. Focus first on the two nation-names.”
In Name’s pan-diamond room, Israel and Palestine are enjoying each other’s beautiful thousand-year illuminations when, out of nowhere, Word reveals them exchanging opacitized words of class hatred in the foyer. For, in the back of their minds, they chose to make themselves more important than the other, eclipsing each other’s light with their own and thus blinding themselves to everyone else’s light. They cannot wake up in the foyer, each filled with jasper minds of light eclipsing each other.
Further within the foyer, Name reveals them both engraving time like burnt shadows onto each other’s blind agapé faces of national singularity. Waiting in anticipation, Word has already appeared through every shadow in them, lifting the burnt illusion of death from over the light-folds of their faces. The idea of the nonsubstance lifted, Word reveals the substance behind the illusion to be—the goodness—emanating from the agapé faces reflecting in the national singularity of their own pacific eyes. The light-folds of their pacific eyes now behold Name’s nonreflective vision of them pan-alongside Word. Thus, their value in Name seen again and again in Word, they graciously choose to make each other’s nation and world-names more important and straightaway give Name all their agapé through each other.
This is the cycle for nation-names. The same occurs for Abel and Cain without these singularities, with Abel having insignificant blindness, and for Word and all the singularities of the world suneidesis, with Word having no blindness while holding the jasper blindness of the world.
The cycle of choice is a treasured part of the exquisite light-fold between Name and Word, which rises out of our orchestrated permeational waves during the Symphony. Now that it has risen this time, Word’s dialogue starts speaking through Palestine and Israel in the pan-diamond room of The Spiritual Story. Turning in this cycle, they see themselves manifest as self-luminations of Name here, actors in the story, yielding to each other in unconditional love. They cannot enter themselves doing this yet, but already have.
World Democracy Breathes its First Breath
Out of the clear-glass wombs of Name’s goodness, the nation-names Israel and Palestine manifest anew in the pan-diamond and mirror a fold of their light into transparent chrysoprase living faces for each other. In the foyer, it renders the effects of involuntary reactions in their thoughts and joints completely useless, restoring their awareness of Word’s spiritual joints in the City of Agapé Light. As spiritual actors with this kind of bodily light, they see the subtle hues of fellow Israeli and many fellow Gazan souls—who have risen by the power of Name’s Word in their forgiveness for one another.
A pan-crescendo of joy resounds throughout our conjoined house of knowledge. The omni-golden Word of our house is looking at us from every facet of Name pan-within and pan-around us. Name’s names of agapé light are all breathing spirit and flesh, no longer sometimes mistaken as living souls embodied in flesh, cut off from Name. As before, at the same time, Name reveals the endless images of pain in the foyer of world history and now in the world present.
But this time, we see Word breathing the forgiveness between Israel and Palestine into each image—strengthening the nation-names confined there who bear each other’s suffering. It restores their awareness in the pan-diamond room, and in this, World Democracy takes its first breath. But to take its second in The Spiritual Story, we must follow Word into Name’s golden pan-diamond eyes to stay focused on each other there also.
For now though, Name reveals the human and spiritual locutions of Word as one again—here in the living room of our house of knowledge and, within the image of the universe within its foyer, on Mother Earth. Every pan-diamond room permeating ours joins us in reflecting unified visions of these words between all ten world-names: Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and their five variations of atheism.
The world is watching us, watching our agapé faces move in the rhythms of Word’s orchestrated singularity waves, and watching our earth-faces move in the rhythms of the energy waves of the sun. A single word of this word-oneness is translated and interpreted, saying,
“As bodily names of light and bodily names of earth, see agapé light in agapé light in both faces, Word in Name and in Mother Earth.”
With both realms in our house of knowledge, we can see that the oneness of our two kinds of words is not one in the same; it is an in-each-other oneness. With them, we translate and interpret the contours of our every thought, feeling and mood in each other, Name in Word. Here, now here, the source eternal grandeur of all of Name’s bodily names and words of agapé light is seen and heard singing as the Exquisite Song of Life.
Yet in all this, Word is still misinterpreted outside by those who choose blindness. However, inside the transparent outside, the eternities of Name translate every house of knowledge perfectly. Here, right here, Israel and Palestine can hear Word for themselves and listen to Name speak.
Epilogue
The oneness of Name’s mind and suneidesis in the mind of our heart opens the inner vision of our eyes to the stellar depths of every house of knowledge. It empowers us to stop resisting blindness anywhere its jasper mistranslations of word-oneness take root. We can then stop resisting the blind actions of the world entourage blindly. As knowledge of Word puts it, “the whole world lies in the evil [of spiritual jasper blindness].”
Using the principle, we possess the spiritual essence of agapé story language and, with it, can discern the absence of the principle in the foyer of our house, on all levels of Word’s singularity. That is, from one paradigm-window of our house, we discern its absence in the world entourage of blindness, while from another, we translate their jasper light into their spiritual essence as agapé story language. Panhere, we see them all using it profusely in Name’s pan-diamond room of our house of knowledge.
The agapé essence of this story has become the senses of our spiritual house and, as such, they possess Name and Word in themselves. Oh how the oneness of our mind and suneidesis knows their in-each-other Oneness in our senses, shining pan-directionally inwardly and outwardly through our agapé doors of other-importance.
Therefore, at the fulfillment of the times of the nations, when we need it most, Word’s unconditional love for the enemies of The Spiritual Story of Democracy is making our unconditional love for them abound more and more.

When Reading ‘The Spiritual Story of Democracy’
The Eyes of Democracy (Introduction and Index of Articles)
Elohim is Hebrew for God, but it has a dual meaning, God the divine and gods as in sons of God. The distinction clearly uses elohim as gods in the sense of image, “made in the image of God (Elohim)”. Our image is one of reflection not source, in other words, we are elohim without any power whatsoever of our own. The Greek word for gods, from theos, carries the philosophical notion that we have some power of our own beyond what Elohim gives and takes away when we misuse it. Thus, since English carries this notion, elohim should never be translated gods, but just left untranslated.
Atheists can appreciate this by seeing the grand scheme of Life giving us life and taking it away, along with other qualities depending on how we use them. Life as a system is source, not its lives. Elohim can be used religiously or not. Spirituality takes into account both usages of this knowledge in its own field, independent of scientific knowledge.
Name (God or Life depending on our beliefs) oversees us in a democratic rule over ourselves, as the passage quoted in the main text indicates. For elohim does not refer only to leaders in this passage, since in 82:6, Name says, "I said, 'You [are] elohim and sons of the Most High, all of you.'" Some interpret elohim to mean judges, but we are all in the image of Name, obviously. Elected or chosen elohim are just that, elected by all of us elohim or chosen by a few of us. The democracy that Word laid the path for treats all of us equally under the law but based on love for our neighbor not just tolerance.
Democracy is not to be based on religion, for it is self-rule based on the principle of respecting each other’s religious and nonreligious choices within laws for our overall well-being. Spirituality is the arm of knowledge developed by the mind of our heart, and science is the arm of knowledge developed by our mind alone, for our bodies and all else that exists physically in the universe. Therefore, democracy being the heart of the people is held together first by spiritual knowledge.
A king using the principle though, as in David’s case, is sanctioned over a democracy that rejects it.
Suneidesis, pronounced soo-NAY-day-sis, is a Greek word that joins our natural awareness with our sense of conscience. Click on the link for a detailed explanation. It is central to this teaching. Using this foreign word regularly in discussions helps us get accustomed to experiencing something new and positive working in our awareness itself. When the word conscience is used, it will refer to the aspect of suneidesis that involves right and wrong, but this aspect cannot be separated from our co-conscientious awareness of all things.
If I understand that my awareness of something as simple as a cup includes co-conscientiousness, I do not allow myself to get blinded by the cup alone but know it as part of all creation at the hands of the Creator or the universe, depending on one’s beliefs. Spiritual maturity does this naturally.
The repetition of suneidesis is meant to challenge you to consider this dimension in your awareness. Apologies, but it will only be a necessary annoyance until it becomes natural.
In knowledge of Word, the heavenly city is described as both a jasper stone and transparent gold. Gold symbolizes agapé because of its superiority, and jasper symbolizes piety because of its position to agapé in Peter’s explanation of agapé’s theios divine nature. “… (supply) the sisterly affection* [working in Word’s singularity] in the piety [of Word], and in the sisterly affection, the agapé [of Name’s theios divine nature].” (2 Peter 1:7)
*Note that most translations read “brotherly affection”, but it is a feminine noun, which spiritually subjugates our light to Word’s and Name’s as the bride to the bridegroom, nothing to do with gender.
I love how you used spirituality, literature, and politics as combo for your article.
As a non-American, I am often astounded that a nation so steeped in Christian language and history could allow itself to fall into this pit. Democracy was meant to be for the people, by the people. Not for some of the people we like, by the better, richer, smarter people who have learned to spin their message to our particular biases in order to win our vote.
What struck me most in your piece, George, is the reminder that the real divide is not ultimately Republican versus Democrat, but blindness versus love. Without agapé, love that makes the other more important without erasing ourselves, politics becomes just another mask for self-interest.
The harder question is this: how do we get love to lead? For me it comes back to Jesus’ words, “You, follow me.” Not “fix the world first,” not “prove you are right,” but follow Him in the way of laying down power for the sake of others.
Love begins to lead when ordinary people stop outsourcing virtue to politicians and start embodying it themselves. When we see the person across the divide not as an enemy to defeat but as a neighbor to serve. It is not sentimental, it is costly. But without it, no system, however brilliant, can hold.
I wonder how others here wrestle with this. What does it look like, in practical terms, for love to truly lead in the public square?
