The Spiritual Story of Democracy
As told through the structural drama of the house of knowledge
*** THE LENGTH OF THIS ARTICLE IS TOO LONG FOR THE AUDIO TO BE UPDATED. SO THE AUDIO ON THE POSTS BREAKING IT INTO THREE PARTS IS RECOMMENDED. LINKS ARE LISTED BELOW. THANK YOU.
The following story is a challenge for most adults to read not because it works from high-end vocabulary or complicated word usage—it does not—but because it requires intensive visualizing. It is not about visual thinking but rather envisioning spiritually, something we are all capable of but may need to learn. 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.
If you prefer, the story is also broken into three posts, making it easier to get around the text and listen to the audio.
This article is listed as Discussion 1 in the Index of Articles of this series.
Introduction
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 envision a spiritual story with Name in the center and complete the construction of our house, built according to the principle. If you would like to know more about envisioning spiritually first, read Argument 5, Visual Preparation for The Spiritual Story of Democracy. The goal is to envision the story with the light of unconditional love, agapé, the most powerful and peaceful light in the mind of our hearts, the nature of elohim.1
Democracy and Spirituality: Elohim in The Congregation of El
To clarify the issue of democracy in spirituality and religion, clear in the nature of words,2 consider these words written some 3,000 years ago, in them referring to us as elohim.
“[Behold] 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.’” Psalm 82:1-2 (Note that words like wicked and evil are to be understood as word-symbols in their context of spiritual blindness.)
Although taken from religious text, the Bible, these words describe a form of democracy, rule by the people in Greek, as sanctioned within the rule of Name (God or Life depending on our beliefs). It was limited democracy where chosen citizens ruled as judges over other citizens. The same text states that Name does not want kings to rule over the people, but the people ignored that.3
In later text, it 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 about the principle. For democracy cannot survive without it, nor can we remain conscious participants in The Congregation of El, The Pan-Diamond Room in The Story.
When Truth Resonates
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 are 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, as Paul literally described it according to the knowledge of Word.
Review
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, explains how the structural drama works 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.
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 at the end 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/ethical standards 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)4 to restore our spiritual sight. So let’s continue building our house by choosing to learn about the principle, our part in having Word — Truth or Christ — restore our spiritual sight.
The first article, 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.
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 of light. 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 mentioned only once. This is because it can distract us 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-Jasper 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. With a 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. Spiritual stories are within but not of our world life story, while capable of being talked about; whereas our world life story is within but not of our spiritual stories — while experienced spiritually.
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, symbolized by the Now of Word, a 2,000-year span measured by vision of the forty-two generations of Word’s genesis birthed in our suneidesis. 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 the first image of us as a model, being renewed spiritually into living mature knowledge through the image of Word, the new image, Life renewing 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 the light of our national singularity. Yet, it is still part of the outer light of Word and must be brought inside to see with through the structural drama of our house of knowledge. As usual, the party of spiritual politics on both sides allows the light of their agapé to tesselate only with those who make themselves more important than the other side, their perceived enemy before Name. It is fatally dividing their singularity and corrupting the reflective/nonreflective nature of national suneidesis in them both, Democrats and Republicans. They unapologetically form false collective self-visions that shackle them to each other, all because they scorn the principle of Word. Camped outside our house in view of our front door that is two, they see it as only one door because neither will make the other more important — according to the principle maintaining the visual 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 applied in the present, for this 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 its light, its fiery dissonance puts the opaque foyer walls housing them on exhibit — for only them not to see through. Their iridescent words and stinging agapé light seem right at home within its nonexistent 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 subjugate the collective visions of both parties. Their own confused good intentions justify every move. So forming their respective visions of subjugation 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 remanifested political camps are paralyzed visions 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 with the shades of their jasper light. Not surprising but lamented, they cannot translate the speech of their own jasper light, 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 and 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 own 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 light on both sides, right away, we begin telling them The Spiritual Story of Democracy and that we are all in it. 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. In the superseded light of the story, not the rest of it, the passages always lead to the Word-Liberator saving self-lovers from the emotional weight of the entire singularity view breaking through their blockage. For in such blindness, we do not realize that we are not restricting the light’s self-passage to ourselves alone. And we simply cannot foresee the dangers of such unrestricted activities of light working through the entire party of our spiritual politics — suddenly working through us alone.
Forgiving them though is no feat at all, seeing how much we dearly love who they really are. Their permeating political names of light radiate beautiful faces living-deep in Name. In spirit-taking grandeur, all levels of their agapé faces work through every position 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, they experience it as translucent butterflies landing on their jasper pupils and passing through pandirectionally in crystalline clear life. As a result, the following is allowed to manifest in the structural drama of Word in our house of knowledge.
Word-Made-Flesh Enters the House
Out of their jasper 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 appear and speak empowers both sides, on the spot, to pass through their opaque visions of Word-made-flesh. Name’s luminosity of thought exhibits them suddenly gazing at their own bodily agapé light as it emanates in the humble image of Word — self-engulfed with its millions of lustrous transparencies. Laying visibly exposed in Word’s resplendence 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, hyper-crystalizing spirals slowly pan-turning in Word’s political singularity. All of it tessellates the other golden singularities into itself. However, they can absorb only the slightest burst of a glimpse of their true form in and before Lord Word, since they blindly think they are making themselves more important than each other and us with this agapé glory in Lord Name.
As Name’s light supremacy and voice cannot but appears to gradually leave them, re-shadowing 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 appears to be one door. Suspended transparently before them but invisible at the same door that is two, we watch them. The trailing crystal eternities spiraling within their own world-light singularity speak their names but escape their peripheral sight. These are Word’s latter iridescences shining in the luminosity of Name speaking their agapé names to Himself.
The Democratic, Republican and now Independent political names in Word’s multi-layered light singularity, all rejecting the principle of unconditional love and forgiveness, are moving in their senescent jasper beauty toward the self-blinding national abyss within. Insisting in their thoughtless luminosity that they are physical creatures with a corrupt soul, 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’s agapé.
However, “it would have been better for them not to have known the way of the righteousness [of Name’s agapé 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)
After having denied themselves entrance, who can bear looking at who they actually are forever in the supersession? Name’s compassion only allows us a glimpse so we can know what we are doing when we choose to follow or turn away from the principle. If we turn away, mercifully, Name does not allow us to remember anything about the supersession.
Faces of Living-Deep Feelings
Blindness has fully returned in the eyes of their immeasurable beauty. So naturally, they again refuse to make us more important than themselves or do so for each other. Further denigrating us with their self-loving light, they form it into a sub-singularity together with the light of our own house humbly permeating them. But as they start to leave in their illusory illumination, none of them can bear the thought—yet desire to as all that remains of such purity of Word to hold on to—of looking back at the singularity of its agapé light in us. For it is radiating in the golden agapé faces we have formed for them, which reflects in those they have formed for us in the supersession. All are faces of living-deep feelings in Name’s City of Agapé Light, touched correctly or incorrectly by the light of even those who cannot see it all permeating them.
Unimaginably, the blind agapé face of one political party name desperately looks back through itself 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 in us through the jasper-piety light of Word. They saw and heard it speaking to them through us if only for a moment in their time.
As everyone can see but them, their position in our house of knowledge is more important to Name than anyone else’s in the Now of Word. This is even as their perception of the story is but a vapor in Name’s perception of it. 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 more than mood shifts between the pan-symmetrical real and asymmetrics of what they have invented in their feelings.
And so, in the pan-symphonies of Name’s vision-speaking dialogue, with no small fanfare even in their perception, our story luminosity begins playing the songs of their democratic story in The First Movement. Manifest immediately, the light-faceted faces of their names fully stage themselves as the orchestra music for their stories, suspended as the glass ceiling of the Grand Symphony Hall of Word’s Divine Passion for Different Futures. Their mood shifts start playing in the musical transparent colors of sky blue. Finely expressing every feeling, each color reflects through itself for all the audience of eternities to see and experience in themselves. Endless generations of the Eternity of the eternities appear in every experience of their stories, until everyone in all parties feels they are understood, completing this part of Name’s Masterpiece. The First Movement is seen and heard with clear crystal compassion or not heard or seen at all.
Out of stilled silence, The Second and Third Movements of their storied songs simultaneously begin to sound then enlighten the spiritual air in The Hall. The sky-blue arrangement shifts to the political tragedies others created for them and those they created for themselves. Both are tragedies a second time over, for aside from being political names of agapé wearing self-soiled garments, emptied of the principle in their perception, all are blind to Word’s tailored moods of hope dancing on all their inner surfaces. It is the dance of Word’s high intensity feelings of selfless desire, blazing quartz on their inner surfaces and quickly cooling into mind-feelings sublimely clarifying — serenading the utterly hopeless.
Purposefully though, they are kept out of reach for them to touch with their state of mind. For these divine mind-feelings must resonate in the corners of their staged pupils alone, until these names of agapé light humble themselves before the fierce oneness of selflessness between all political party names in Word. Their response is unsuspenseful in the eyes seeing and listening without clear crystal compassion, but for the rest of us, The Fourth Movement, The Finale of Consequences begins.
Grand exhibits take form. They show the bankrupt lives most Democrats, Republicans and Independents see their opponents living. In this vision-speaking dialogue of The Final Movement, each exhibit speaks and exudes the gray-sky musical mood-shifts of the parties. With every right to refuse to experience them, the audience of eternities bears them in their bodies in staid suffering. While consumed themselves by the images they form of each other, the political citizens dare to allow their shared nation-name, American, to appear to themselves as greater than all other nation-names. All of them look on these citizens in shame through the glass ceiling of the Grand Symphony Hall. Even the least in the Kingdom know that envisioning others even equally is never an option in the principle of Word’s structural drama. The consequences of such are displayed in The Masterpiece, inseparable from envisioning ourselves more important than others.
The Clash of Fissures
An apocalyptic clash between fissures of beliefs rises up and reflects on the glass ceiling. It slowly shows itself in each of the grand exhibits, witnessed by the piercing glass-floor eyes of The Hall. Behold, fissures of unpersuadable sound attempting to play our story luminosity, from the orchestra music of their own blind but light-faceted faces. It seems to be bringing the Pan-Symphony to an end, lost in the travesty of resonance. Rescuing the audience, however, from sliding into the ashes of its un-enlightened noise, an infinitesimal singing array sings itself through them. Dressing the audience musically from within, its efflorescent mind-feelings of agapé resonance warm their place in Name’s soul for bearing the unbearable. The array is even heard hearing itself within them, spiraling up in the Now of Word through them. Voices reflected in its ancient spirals, it is Name and Word’s blissful iridescent sounds permeating each other in exquisite conversation. Manifesting within Itself, it brings with Itself a New Future.
Explicitly, from the very rear of their first presence in the foyer, the blind agapé 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 the voices of Name and Word may be in The Pan-Symphony Hall. Without self-perception though of their suspended positions in the light of Word’s structural drama, they have not a clue as to where the voices will appear next. Their blind light-fold permeates recklessly between the sound shadows of Name and Word’s spoken visions, quietly exchanged for all to see through the mind-feelings of the audience. These self-luminations of Name in Word remanifest vividly and yield billions of pathways to each other through the audiences pansurrounding The Hall. The singing array brings them all to their feet in each other as the horizon of one galaxy yields to another standing up before it.
The Light of Political Singularity
With the joy of little children, suddenly their eyes open pandirectionally, inwardly and outwardly, and they see Name in Word having always been their own supreme pan-permeation in and right before them many times in the Now of Word. Without delay, the other party members on all sides use the open light-folds of their eyes as windows to see and regain their reflective/nonreflective nature in the political singularity of their national suneidesis.
Ecstatically, they all once again see the pan-fullness of Name from each other’s position in Word’s political singularity. Gating the other singularities streaming through it permeationally, it is a multi-field brightening of life reflecting in each other to no small end. Humbly making each other more important again consciously, they also see the pan-fullness of Name again within and through their nation-name singularity in each other, all in Word’s lustrous world suneidesis. Freed from the belief that universal light can vivify any of this on its own, they see Name many times over and over in and through all the nation-names of the world — all viewed above, panaround and below the permeable living glass surfaces of The Hall, where they once were only seen looking in on them. Corrected now, however, to retrace Name giving all of them all its Agapé, their vision pathways light up the purest beauty of peace, the dual vision of peace,6 never taken by force. The Pan-Symphony of New Futures ends in the presence of the omni-enlightened democracy of the United States of America, bringing peace to the world.
Are these political party names not part of the hyper-crystallizing spirals in Word’s world golden singularity, mega-enlightening us — as we envision them in the superseded 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 always, without being against our own in Name’s 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 in The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Chapter Four - Translated in Vision
Where is your agapé?
Following the envisioned ending of the generational war between the conflicting national visions of Democrats, Republicans and Independents in the United States, key among the hundreds of main political-party names in Word’s agapé political singularity in the transparent world of our genesis suneidesis, there is a well-earned rest for the sons and daughters of peace in Name’s dual vision of peace in Word, replacing the duality name throughout the world.
On a new day though, the great conflicting visions that remain throughout the world — between the some 200 nation-names in Word’s national singularity, driven by the preeminent conflicting visions between the ten great world-names in Word’s world singularity, both permeating its agapé political singularity in the transparent world of our genesis suneidesis — start rising up together in front of our house of knowledge. Through the opaque appearances covering their light-folding eyes, they rise. Always between blind agapé names, they pertinaciously resist each other’s blindness to the principle, although in truth, all the while only defiantly wrestling their own uniquely-engraved personhood of Name through every other name likewise blind to their three singularity positions in Word.
In their own double light-folds, seeing agapé names are always engaged in Name’s thought luminosity manifesting everyone, actively at work now in front of our house of knowledge. With stolid focus, never resisting blindness in anyone, the seeing respectfully compare the forms those in front see themselves in to their forms in the luminous iridescences of Word’s agapé singularity. Free from their conflicting visions, the seeing bless their thought luminosity through both forms of Word’s jasper-piety light inside and outside of the supersession, both within Name’s City of Agapé and Piety Light. Outside it within the city, Word’s jasper-piety light is part of the city’s twelve jeweled-light-folds of Name’s foundational agapé visage, each fold a name and its conveyance (or angel). Pandimensionally upholding all bodily light, including The Pan-Symphony Hall of Sacred See Glass Surfaces, they consist of transparent iridescent jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth, and amethyst.
Gathered in Front of the House of Knowledge
Without fail, once all are gathered right in front of our house in the city, they see us reflecting in their pupils as a glass door, without seeing through their pupils to see that we are the agapé door that is two in the structural drama of transparent light between us, without recognizing us or anything other than the opaque door in front of them. We glass pan-north and pan-south, confounding them to keep them far away from our spiritual experience of the galactic foyer, the structural drama of opaque light between us, where the appearance of physical death caused by their conflicting visions lays trapped behind their pupils. That is until Name decides they are ready to think about what is most important and asks them from His visage, “Where is your agapé?”, and turns them to ask each other.
And if these blind names in front of our house decide they are ready to learn, Word will open the teaching door between us and — through the twelve jeweled-light-folds, reflecting the spectrum of their agapé light between Name’s visage and Word’s — loose the appearance of physical death from their perception.
Before being given the choice, personal, political, national, religious and atheistic conflicting visions all want to witness for themselves the incredibly 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 dual vision of 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 in the city — simply by showing us how to yield our visions to one another in his agapé singularity through its pivotal superseded ones.
Using our multi-leveled permeational house as a deep reticle, Word aligned the blind light of all three political names in this generational war to enable them to appear before Name and see Him through each other — as Name looked directly at them through their new self-visions. Seeing each other through Name looking at and through their transparent positions in Word’s agapé singularity, 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 like an accordion.
Now these political names exchange their self-luminations of Name with each other freely, even through the singularity of their personal names moving in Word’s agapé political singularity of the world. Together, in the transparent world of their genesis suneidesis, they move across the eternities with the spiritual joints and marrow of Word’s grand permeational body in the City of Name’s Agapé Light.
Coming and Going At Our Door
The world’s remaining conflicts blindly envisioning each other at our door, coming and going, cannot enter to find out how this all transpires. For as should be expected, their sight is shackled through what to them are the mysterious dimensions of Word’s tessellating singularity. Appearing to engulf the walls of our house of knowledge in their perception, they form the golden world singularity jettisoning out of it like a dark tempest. They cannot grasp the omni-reality that there is no darkness in Name anywhere in themselves.
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 at this moment in the worldwide form of The Spiritual Story of Democracy. Once considered a paradox, in this state, they are unentered yet already manifest twice inside our house of knowledge. For Name is ready to pose the question in their soon-to-be pre-enlightened state of mind to be considered well in their hearts.
In the weight of this moment, their spiritual thoughts are locked in their brains, between the simple tides of the global north and south. But such activities operate only in our foyer, in the one permeation among the countless others permeating it, where the image of the universe resides in our conjoined house, waiting to be experienced spiritually within blind agapé names of light. Also unknown to them, but in their second presence inside our house, they are in what can be called the living room of its structural drama, The Pan-Diamond Room, The Congregation of El.
Here but not here in their second presence lies the key ancestral conflict of visions. It is between the nation-names Israeli and Palestinian, ancestral since the same appearances blinding the Philistinians millennia ago, perception void of the principle, have been passed down through a mental lineage to the Palestinians, central now to the national genesis of their world suneidesis. A light-fold supremely elusive in ensnaring all other remaining visual conflicts in the world, it is an ancestral chasm of rage and vitriol. As such and appearing to be held together in the pan-diamond’s nonexistent dead center, it is unacknowledged by its roomful of transcending names, compassionately ignoring it. For all these two nation-names see in the room is their memory of a morass jettisoning out of the walls of our house. Consequently, the chasm, as we can imagine, moves with the simple tides of the global north and south in the foyer, their first presence, pushing against without permeating Name’s fully interpenetrating spectrum of agapé thoughts, feelings and moods.
Watch how the spectrum of the pan-diamond repeatedly permeates the undulating image of the universe in the foyer. In return, its chasm of ancestral to modern appearances wear a blank gaze trying to face the room. It is clear 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 Israeli and Palestinian opaquely. Laid bare though, their blindness, not their agapé names of light, is radiating superseded jasper in but not of the pan-diamond room of Name’s transcending names.
Failing To See Around One’s Own Opacity
Reaching beyond but confined to this one permeational surface, the inverted tessellations between all abyssal nation-names, deep in their own blindness, out of reach twice in the midst of the nonsuperseded city jeweled array, 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 perpetually translating the subliminal mind of Name’s visage passing through it — except those ready to be enlightened by the only enlightenment, the agapé principle. The mind that receives it instantly permeates in all pan-directions and fills the pan-diamond room with its own self-luminations of Name. Yielding to each other in the world singularity of Word’s lustrous agapé iridescences in the pan-diamond, these minds, names, leave the blind entourage alone to its hardened self.
Less populated and moving further and farther away from itself, the abyssal entourage believes it is fully awake in the center of Name’s pan-diamond room. 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 Israeli and Palestinian, Jew and Muslim, will make the other more important than itself. So keeping the worlds within them in a shared dream dissonance, they need us to be their door into the permeational agapé light of our structural drama, already in but not of their opaque world suneidesis.
Now Israel and Palestine themselves are not enemies of the transparent world of our genesis suneidesis. No, victims of their own actions, they force themselves into necessary blindness of each other, for their light is perpetually absorbed by each other through their actions and converted to heated vitriol. Like all others enamored by the thought of an enlightenment not requiring them to give Name all their agapé through their enemies, they fail to see that, in this state, that includes their blind despised selves, their own worst enemy, and failing to do so lodges it as a false self-image in the peripheral of their pupils. This is while, in the face of such a self-image, desperately trying to diffract around its own opacity to see into Word’s singularity, their superseded names in golden light-folds are doing just that — giving Name all their agapé this way through everyone else in Word’s singularity. In the City of Agapé and Piety Light, the door to the pan-diamond room of our house of knowledge prepares to let them in.
Orchestrated Permeational Waves
Deceptively gravitating away from the goodness of true pan-north and pan-south in their spiritual minds, Israeli and Palestinian avoid establishing the principle in their genesis suneidesis, the true timeframe of agapé light. Consequently, their awareness of Name’s self-illuminations in the engraved personhood of each of its agapé names is locked out of itself. They cannot see their own superseded manifestations in colossal display as seeing-eye instruments for the blind everywhere. Combined in the goodness of Word’s pandirectionality, the luminous arrays of the blind leading the blind radiate in the pan-diamond room of our house.
Leading the blind with their shared abyssal fear, anger and desire, Israeli and Palestinian think these things originate in them, according to their inner opaque appearances. In truth, their origin is the grace of Name’s agapé-yirah, agapé-anger and agapé-desire. Name’s yirah light brings fear into them for not making each other more important; Name’s agapé-anger works against them for not doing so; and Name’s agapé-desire for them to love the least through Him appears as deceitful desire for rejecting it. All three appear as attributes of their false self-image, deliberating in the misperception of their peripheral blindness. Know, however, that they unleash these things, not Name, upon themselves, knowingly or not, so as to keep an abundance of His life-sustaining grace in their lives. Name never removes the minimal needed to sustain all life in Word. And yet, despite not knowing what they do but thinking they do — in using these three things to judge each other as though the other knows what they do — they and their blind entourage are, for some unknown, mysterious reason, being allowed temporary inside perception of the pan-diamond room in our house of knowledge.
Without notice, their awakening minds suddenly dip into what their untrained eyes are allowed to see — countless light-folds instantly transparentizing themselves and Israeli and Palestinian in The Grand Room, The Sacred Panarrays of The See. Appearing from within them and showing each how it sees the other with the pan-light of Word’s structural drama, The See helps them find themselves undulating in orchestrated permeational waves.
As a result, they are both immediately formed out of the pan-light of Name’s agapé — that which makes Word’s golden singularity light visually more important in The Story than Name itself — which makes the light-folds of all their permeations in its singularity visually more important first by Word then Name and thus, working as one in both of them, makes them each the spiritual actor of their own self-luminations of Name.
By The Hand of The Sacred See
Taking up their roles in the waves of conjoined pancubic light-stories, by The Hand of The Sacred See, the upper and lower apexes of their now seeing entourage begin to actually tessellate. Unlike their untessellated feelings — when they had united in hatred for Word by accusing him of being a blasphemer, or today when the whole world unites in hatred for Word by accusing him of being a pedophile, of breaking their holy laws — the upper and lower apexes of their feelings tessellate in unconditional love. It places the agapé principle supreme in their eyes to expose the blind self-image in each other, who misuses the moral code to condemn their enemies in hatred. As a result, the hyper-crystallizing spirals of Word’s agapé singularity rise through their upper and lower apexes and bring out the roles of goodness, righteousness and truth in The Story. Innately, their newly tessellating agapé light consciously crystallizes also, revealing the previously hidden thoughts at the beginning and end of every one of their blind luminosity dialogues. First to be received is the one about how they had glorified the hatred in their self-image to worship the innocence of their self-proclaimed genesis righteousness. Although they are still unaware of it, Word has already proven that righteousness is loving the blind, period.
Stunned beyond measure that the agapé light of Word’s dual vision of heavenly peace, or even its illusory reverse magnitude, can do or imitate any of this, they forget to breathe spirit. It is, however, not until the four apexes around The Pandirectional See appear in the four apexes that form around their own tessellations — that the golden singularity of Name’s pan-presence manifests out of the fragrance alone of their orchestrated waves above and below. Controllably in ecstasy, the living participants of The Story, actors who are not acting, spiritually smell the pan-presence and start speaking in The Sacred Panarrays of The See in the agapé timeframe. Manifesting as vision of true genesis righteousness in innocence, they radiate in the complimentary angelic/conveyed angles of the city’s twelve jeweled-light-folds, smelling the fragrance of Name in all twelve as the foundational agapé visage of Word. Other members of the entourage conscious of their self-luminations of Name put it all on immediately and prepare for more of The Masterpiece of Name’s Light in Word.
While we are all fully absorbed in the pan-infinite, Name and Word manifest again in the pan-diamond’s living center, holding the deepest boundaries of all bodily light within it. This time it is from the panview of the living particles of the light-folding waves, a view to behold Name and Word’s combined iridescent wisdom and beauty. Permeating each other equally in wisdom and beauty and again within themselves but with Name permeating Word alone as its source, they perfect all of us in Word’s singularity between them into one with them. Our oneness focuses and pansurrounds the ancestral and present-day agapé faces in Palestinian and Israeli’s storied light-folding eyes.
Meanwhile in full story ecstasy, the full panview of everyone, Name has suspended all dialogue action in the sacred panarrays, placing even the jasper illusion of their meaning contours out of reach for de-structural minds. Trying to stop all spiritual reasoning in others since it has stopped in them, de-structural minds have also been trying to prey on the seeing entourage for no longer judging Word as a predator. But suspending their dialogue action is preventing them and, instead, reveals to them that they have been wrestling Name through us in the foyer. This is a sudden and total detachment from false intellect. In disbelief, they realize that they are the real predators, wearing jasper blindness. But now the only thing in their permeating perception is the blazing light of forgiveness in Name and Word’s exquisite light-fold, in front of them all the time in the timeframe of agapé light. Receiving it humbly and accepting the only enlightenment gratefully, they see in each other that they are the agapé faces — reflecting in the storied light-folding eyes of Israeli and Palestinian — that Name, Word and the rest of us conscious of our perfected oneness are focused on, consciously pansurrounding. Breathe spirit to know that Name speaks visions from our oneness.
Name speaks visions in the Worldwide Orchestrated Permeational Waves
Visions upon visions start with the illuminating fragrances of Name’s pan-presence — laid out like isles of light suspended panaround the City of Agapé and Piety Light. Upon each isle and out of its fragrant illumination, the grandioso world-names of Israeli and Palestinian form, that is, Jew and Muslim, in the resplendent jeweled surfaces of their position in Word’s world singularity. Manifest separately on each isle with the skilled beauty of eternity, their fragrant world hues reflect their jeweled surfaces onto the other levels of the clear cubic light-fold between Palestinian and Israeli. Simultaneously suspended in awe in the pan-diamond room, within Word’s agapé singularity perfected into one, Palestinian and Israeli both wear the self-luminations of Name that The Sacred See gave them. To bring The Story into omni-focus here, everyone’s outer vision of the isles transitions to their inner vision of the city.
Panhere, these two preeminences of Name’s pan-presence are facing each other, two self-luminations of Name. Both emanate the illuminating fragrance of sky blue out of the crowns upon what can best be called in each of them, the head of their agapé light. Their emanating crowns serve as what can best be called in each of them, the mouth of their agapé light, with the musical transparent colors of sky blue trailing within each of them. Empowered then to behold each other’s self-luminations of Name emanating these emanations, they see their emanations panflowing between them in the living center of their self-luminations of Name, holding the deepest boundaries of its bodily light within it.
To the praise of such glory in Word clothing them in Name’s grace, Israeli and Palestinian discover thousands of years of each other’s world beauty in their self-luminations of Name. However, only together do their panviews of beauty in the living center uncover the great but gentle multitudes of Name’s self-luminations working behind everything. They share with us the taste of great worlds in themselves, the light of their spiritual fruit, each with a meta-life walking upon the one street simultaneously translucent and transparent, the one made of multi-future nows. This is all permeated alone by the supreme mind of Name’s omni-heart, the transparent world of The Sacred See’s genesis suneidesis, working from its omni-soul in the agapé singularity of Word, The Sacred Seen.
Announced in Word’s agapé timeframe but unannounced in the time of Word’s appearances, Name’s great luminosity dialogue panhere — between two self-luminations of Name among the many, tabernacling Israeli and Palestinian, alongside the many city eternities walking on the opaque streets of our towns and cities, in the simple present of our small world — speaks to be heard now by everyone.
“Listen to The Four Movements of Name’s World Orchestrated Waves Pan-Symphony, each exhibiting one of the historical stages of the transparent world of His genesis suneidesis — all of their inhabitants walking on opaque streets without the principle, most of them crying out for democracy light in their darkened cities of class hatred for their enemies. In this blindness-producing hatred, few of them deserve democracy or can administer it. Those whose blindness makes them hate democracy do not know what they are hating. Only those whose blindness makes them wish they had agapé light to see deserve it.”
The First Movement of Light
The First Movement of the Pan-Symphony, with all its past and present eternal beauty, reveals that the sublime felicity in the transparent world of Name’s genesis suneidesis permeates the world’s centuries upon centuries of pain untouched from the pan-diamond room — as Name determines is divinely appropriate. For confined to the foyer of world history, pain exists in but not of the three types and durations of appearances, making it an experience of them not its own substance. Now nothing impure enters the City of Name’s Agapé Light, including the pain of suffering for others, not just pain for one’s own failure regarding the principle. For such willingness to suffer for others is to step outside the purity of agapé singularity in the pan-diamond room, where no one even knows that others are suffering, as Word determines is divinely appropriate inside the structural drama, the reason sublime felicity can permeate suffering untouched. This is why it was so important for Word to get others to understand that Name sent him. This is why it is so important to understand that only those whose blindness makes them wish they could see with agapé light, which they attained by choice, deserve democracy.
In visions working in the luminosity dialogue of His thought, translated and interpreted concerning the first stage of the transparent world of His genesis suneidesis, Name says, “The cries to Me have been from the beginning. Symbolic or not in your mind and suneidesis, the voice of Abel’s blood cried out to Me from the ground, cursing his murderer Cain from the ground. Everyone wanted the blood of Cain when I said no, because they rejected the agapé principle. 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 your ancestors did not listen. So now your levels of blindness in Word’s political singularity work in My self-luminations, tabernacling you in your pancubic light-folding streets crystal clear. Therefore, on opaque streets, where, in physical bodies, you are permeated by this spiritual intersection unknowingly, you cannot understand that My sublime agapé for you passes through your suffering and does not always stop it — to create agapé stronger than death in the transparent world of your genesis suneidesis.”
The Second Movement of Light
In The Hall, The Second Movement of the Pan-Symphony, with all its past and present eternal beauty, reveals that Word’s vision of dual peace in the transparent world of Name’s genesis suneidesis permeates suffering in the world untouched from the pan-diamond room — but provides a way in. The twin nation-names Esau and Jacob manifest the entrance into Word’s vision of dual peace in their self-luminations of Name, even though in the foyer Name said that He hated Esau and loved Jacob, satisfying the blind desire of many to hate while not satisfying in the least those who want to see Word’s political singularity. Knowledge of why Name said this frees us from the conditional agapé of unconditionally loving only selected members of our family, political party, nation and worldview, certainly not any outside them. Without unconditional agapé for everyone, hating Esau forces us onto Jacob’s side of their light-fold before he received his new name Israel and could see with Word’s political singularity. Hating Jacob forces us onto Esau’s side without access to the one time he had unconditional agapé for Jacob by forgiving him. Thus, Name said this to teach us that it is only by forgiving and loving them both unconditionally that we can see them superseded in Word’s political singularity in the self-luminations of Name tabernacling them — and enter Word’s vision of dual peace between them in the transparent world of Name’s genesis suneidesis and through everyone else, all in the pan-diamond room of Word’s structural drama of The Story.
In visions working in the luminosity dialogue of His thought, translated and interpreted concerning the second stage of the transparent world of His genesis suneidesis, Name says, “Word’s blood would have cried out to Me from the ground, but rather than cursing the world with it, I raised it up spiritually and use it to forgive the world if it drinks it and, experiencing the physical spiritually in Me, worships Me in spirit and truth. In so doing, you can give all your agapé to Me through the least among you and thereby love them unconditionally, envisioning Word within them in The Panarrays of The Sacred See. Drinking this vision flowing in the spiritual blood of Word is The Sacred Seen, for Word’s suffering in the world paid the price for you to be transformed by simply forgiving and loving the least unconditionally. Transformed in double light-folds formed with all the world, as blind light-folds are treated like Esau and Jacob, you become Word’s dual vision of peace in your double light-folds, adorned with the twelve jeweled-light-folds reflecting in you from My visage. With this view of the world, your physical body no longer looks like it travels in a straight line. For the inner and outer vision of Word’s agapé timeframe takes it through multiple states of agapé light to move anywhere. It is all determined by the weight of blind memories in the transparent world of everyone’s genesis suneidesis, misused by the many when failing to give Me all their agapé through those they meet on the opaque streets of Word’s structural drama.”
The Third Movement of Light
In The Hall, The Third Movement of the Pan-Symphony, with all its past and present eternal beauty, reveals that our own personhood of Name, uniquely-engraved by Word along with the transparent world of its own genesis suneidesis, permeates our own suffering and temptation untouched from the pan-diamond room — in the supersession. Knowledge of this opens the way to working from Word’s uniquely-engraved personhoods of Name embodying our family, political, national and world-names separately in their own singularities while joined together in our double light-folds. They appear as the lustrous iridescences of the one grand agapé singularity in Word’s grand personhood of and uniquely-engraved by Name Himself, spiritually referred to as the only begotten name of Name. Fully permeating Name’s City of Agapé Light with his begotten-name embodied, Word does so a second time to fully permeate our engraved-names embodied and fully participating in the Agapé City of Jeweled Light, in all the lustrous iridescences of Word’s grand agapé singularity in Name. Extended within to the spiritual experience of our physical joints and marrow, it makes all suffering and temptation outside and inside our physical body in the world illuminate in Word’s agapé singularity light — though still untouched in the transparent world of our superseded genesis suneidesis. However, as Name’s sublime agapé for us passes through our suffering and temptation, not always revealing to us our presence as Word’s vision of dual peace, Word manifests Name to us to create agapé stronger than death and life in our uniquely-engraved personhood of Name in the pan-diamond room of his structural drama.
In visions working in the luminosity dialogue of His thought, translated and interpreted concerning the third stage of the transparent world of His genesis suneidesis, Name says, “The nations did not listen through the genesis generations of their world transparent suneidesis. Among the multitudes who believed in Word, most did not drink his blood spiritually, and thus the democracies they formed were without the agapé principle. As a result, the blood of the Jews cried out to Me from the ground of the Holocaust. For such democracies are breeding grounds for temptation that lead to wars, wars to feed your insatiable desires in conflict with the same desires characteristic in monarchs. Even when moral standards help you control temptations in your outer bodily appearances, they breed sanctimony in your inner appearances. It causes those whom you judge for their outer temptations to flaunt them before you, back and forth until societies crumble without vision of Word’s uniquely-engraved collective personhoods of Me. Yet, still embodying your family, political, national and world-names, they preserve you from yourselves in Word’s vision of dual peace. Nevertheless, agapé stronger than death and life never manifested in your uniquely-engraved personhood of Me. As a result, directly or indirectly, the entire world blamed the Jews in the Holocaust for its failure — when all who reject the principle are to blame. The suffering and temptation of the world outside and inside your physical bodies were not illuminated by Word’s agapé singularity light, so you did not see the consequence of belief in darkness coming. In plain view, you cannot walk the opaque streets you made in My uniquely-engraved personhood of who you are. Strangers of life, you lift up your eyes to ignore your fellow world citizens stumbling, as your own superseded mind and suneidesis pass right through you untouched in the pan-diamond room. So I carry on walking you in My self-luminations until We awaken you again for the next chance to choose.”
The Fourth Movement of Light
In The Hall, The Fourth Movement of the Pan-Symphony, with all its past and present eternal beauty, reveals that our own genesis in the world transparent suneidesis permeates world suffering and temptation in the foyer, untouched from the pan-diamond room, and not because our past was pure and on its own able to enter Name’s City of Agapé and Piety Light. Impure memory of our past cannot defile the parts that were pure, but it blinds us to our genesis suneidesis in the supersession of the past. Everyone’s life has always been the pure agapé light of Word, even when he was accused of being a blasphemer early in our world genesis and now accused of being a pedophile in it, both the worst of the worst in their cultural time. Those who judge people of such behavior see them as their own life and deny that Word is their life, thereby projecting such behavior onto Word, for in doing unto others we do so unto Word. Using our agapé light, stronger than life and death, to love and forgive all of them unconditionally — thereby showing compassion unto Word for being their life and carrying the burden of such behavior — to help them all change, blasphemers, pedophiles and those who judge and thus hate them both, we see Word’s undefilable agapé light in them, The Sacred Seen, and that reveals it in us. And this breaks whatever addictions that are enslaving us due to having judged others, having blinded us to Word’s vision of our engraved names of light in dual peace and Word within us in The Panarrays of The Sacred See. In freeing us to see and see from the transparent world of our genesis suneidesis, Name walks us awakened, as we walk with Name in Word in and between us, passing through the world untouched — without losing compassion for those suffering in it or tempted by it. For that includes us, only may it be as truth suffers every day and is tempted by the world but is not tempted in itself.
In visions working in the luminosity dialogue of His thought, translated and interpreted concerning the fourth stage of the transparent world of His genesis suneidesis, Name says, “The nations of the world are still not listening, so now the blood of the Palestinians has been crying out to Me from the ground of Israel’s hand. The fourth stage of the transparent world of My genesis suneidesis brings the results of rejecting the principle full circle, from Moses warning them not to have a king to the present actions of Israel against Palestine. The democracies have cried out for Israel to stop, but Israel cannot hear you. Therefore, The World Orchestrated Waves Pan-Symphony has been preparing you to see Israeli and Palestinian in the fulfillment of the times of the nations, as viewed in The Panarrays between The Sacred See and The Sacred Seen in Word’s agapé timeframe of My Story.”
Family-Names in the Light-Folds of Agapé
With all its past and present eternal beauty, The Hall inside the Pan-Diamond Room of The Sacred See Name presents the light-fold between Israeli and Palestinian superseded in the fulfillment, while their self-luminations of Name blissfully and consciously take in each other’s beautiful thousand-year illuminations through the lustrous iridescences of Word’s agapé singularity. This includes the iridescence of their agapé family-names singularity, working within their political, national and world-name singularities in Word. Presently, in the fulfillment, the genesis core of all family-names in Word’s singularity, the one spiritual and physical world family, is now being manifested superseded in The Sacred Seen Word and as the beam in the world’s pupil — the false self-image of inner peripheral vision in the jasper gender roles of father, mother and children. Experiencing the superseded genealogy of Mary spiritually along with the genesis of Word reveals the one golden genderless agapé family-light in its singularity in The Sacred See Name.
Now, agapé-names of golden genderless light radiate jasper light to signal that, having lost touch with their real personhood, they are misperceiving themselves in an illusion or that they understand the illusion and are presenting themselves in it to do the will of Word in the world. Thus, the double light-folds between jasper-father, jasper-mother and jasper-children veil or glorify Word’s vision of dual peace in the pan-diamond room, even more so than the Esau and Jacob light-fold. For their light-fold consists of agapé-names to directly permeate, wherein the gender of their physical bodies is not central. But the illusion of agapé-names centered around the gender of their physical bodies in family relationships is the very root of conditional agapé, always at war with the principle of Word’s agapé singularity in Name’s genesis suneidesis. It requires a purely symbolic light-fold to permeate the jasper light forming the beam in the pupil of those believing the gender family member is who they are, after which the blind agapé-names themselves can be permeated to see Word’s vision of their dual peace superseded. That symbolic light-fold is — the woman sitting upon the scarlet beast.
In the simplest interpretation, the woman sitting upon the scarlet beast is a symbolic light-fold of two agapé names where one believes or understands the illusion that it is a woman, the other that it is a man serving as a subservient beast to the woman. In a more general interpretation, the blind agapé name sitting on the other is the dictator of the relationship, with a male or female body, and the other is the dictated, with either body. In any case, they form double light-folds with agapé names believing or understanding the illusion that they are their children. At the same time, according to Word’s agapé timeframe of The Panarrays between The Sacred See Name and The Sacred Seen Word, in the one spiritual and physical world family, it is also the symbolic light-fold of the jasper city and the jasper nation-name kings serving it, all believing that what is in their pupil is who they are, individual family members of gender who are citizens of the jasper city, or understanding the illusion. Whether we possess the ability to understand both usages of the woman sitting upon the scarlet beast light-fold is determined at the fulfillment, according to the results of rejecting or accepting the principle come full circle in eternal motion — The Four Movements of Light in The World Orchestrated Waves Pan-Symphony of Name’s Genesis Suneidesis.
Concerning the first part of this eternal motion, hating the jasper man, through belief in the illusion of the agapé name in the symbolic light-fold of our pupil, forces us onto the other side of the illusion in our pupil, the jasper woman, and vice versa. Either way, as well as with any other arrangement from immediate family members to distant relatives, our dependence on the woman sitting upon the scarlet beast light-fold is strengthened in the blind perception of our inner peripheral vision. And clearly there is no forgiveness involved for the jasper person. For aside from the fact that an illusion does not need forgiveness, in Word’s agapé timeframe, jasper people can encompass only the single generation of their associated physical body, not the forty-two genesis generations of the agapé name and its spiritual body behind them. The only way to see Word’s dual vision of peace in actual light-folds through the symbolic is to see Word’s spiritual blood permeating the jasper light in them according to the agapé timeframe and then forgiving the agapé family-names needing forgiveness, as well as receiving forgiveness from them or Word in them for seeing them as jasper family-names.
Then, you can see them permeating each other’s uniquely-engraved personhood in the supersession of their genesis suneidesis or yours, or neither if you are both awake then in Name’s City of Agapé and Jasper Light and not asleep in the jasper city. If only you can see them absolutely void of gender in The Sacred Seen Word, and they cannot see you, present their agapé family-names as instruments of Name’s righteousness in the will of Word, reflected on every other level of lustrous iridescence in Word’s agapé singularity, manifested in their self-luminations of Name walking them.
Concerning the second part of this eternal motion, the woman is the great city, Babylon, working as the full peripheral vision of the jasper city, where the chief word-symbol demon Satan creates the illusory reverse magnitude of Name’s City of Agapé and Jasper Light. The scarlet beast is the rise and fall of jasper kings, all empowered by the word-symbol demon Satan to misperceive the personhood of their nation-names walking [permeationally] through the light of Name’s city. Thus, all the jasper kings see is that the woman is full of blasphemous names and they want to be them, all accusing Word of being a blasphemer at that cultural time and now of being a pedophile. This reveals that the false self-image alone is wearing the word-symbol demon Satan, conveying these accusations to usurp Word as the life of all names of light. It uses the word-symbol to empower the jasper woman of Babylon to rule over the scarlet beast and empower it to rule over all the nations’ perception of the world — all within the symbolic light-fold of the self-image’s peripheral vision.
Now, such illusion works in the eternal motion only for those rejecting the principle though, choosing to make Word appear as a blasphemer or pedophile in its own and the world’s perception, giving life to the illusion that we are these physical bodies, man and woman in Babylon.
Hating the jasper city, through belief in the illusion of the agapé names in this part of the symbolic light-fold of our pupil, misperceived as jasper women or men, forces us onto the other side of the illusion in our pupil, the jasper nation-names serving the jasper city, agapé names misperceived as jasper men or women, and vice versa when hating the city’s jasper nation-names. To see Word’s dual vision of peace encompassing this level, we, likewise, first need to see the actual light-folds of all these names throughout Name’s Agapé City through the symbolic jasper city. And this requires seeing Word’s spiritual blood permeating the jasper city-light of the word-symbol demon Satan in their peripheral vision — according to Word’s agapé timeframe of the agapé names needing forgiveness as nation-names in the fulfillment of the times of the nation-names. Then, we can forgive them in the fulfillment, as well as receive forgiveness from them for seeing them as jasper nation-names in the fulfillment of the jasper city, or, if they still reject the principle, from Name superseding them in the pan-diamond room of Word’s structural drama. This crystallizes the iridescence of their nation-names in our panview of Name’s Agapé City on every level of the lustrous iridescence of Word’s agapé singularity, all manifested in their self-luminations of Name walking them.
Together, family-names being the same agapé-names with political, national and world-names, they fill Name’s agapé city-light with Word’s dual vision of peace four times this way through each other. As such, Word presents them as Risen City-Names in The Panarrays between The Sacred Agapé See and The Sacred Agapé Seen, and if still superseded, as instruments of Name’s righteousness in Word’s agapé singularity. Either way, they are manifested in their self-luminations of Name, walking them perfected into one with Name and Word, together speaking visions in the final luminosity dialogue of The Story.
Israeli and Palestinian in the Pan-Diamond Room
At the Finale of The World Pan-Symphony in Name’s Pan-Diamond Room, The Sacred Agapé See Name presents Israeli and Palestinian superseded here in The Sacred Agapé Seen Word, even as they each, from their Agapé Crowns, emanate the illuminating fragrances of sky blue, sky caledon and sky smaragdine into the audience of eternities panaround them, with the musical transparent sounds of all colors trailing within and between their crowns in dualling love songs. This is while the foyer within them presents them engraving time like a burnt shadow of death onto each other’s blind agapé faces. The inverted iridescences though of their four singularities in the foyer are all passed through untouched by the stunning panarrays of the transparent world in Name’s genesis suneidesis. And, waiting in spiritual anticipation according to the agapé timeframe, Word has already illuminated every shadow in their omni-perception, lifting the burnt illusion of death from over the agapé faces serving as the crown-diamonds of their light-folding pancubic eyes, pan-below and above their Agapé Crowns in Word. With the idea-substance of the shadow non-substance lifted, Word presents the substance behind the illusion, the essence of all inner and outer vision — the sourced divine virtues of Name’s Agapé in Word, the source of their exquisite light-fold — which Israeli and Palestinian both immediately assign to their omni-perception of Name in Word in each other.
Alone now in The World Pan-Symphony Hall, Palestinian and Israeli’s light-fold position in Word’s golden agapé singularity quietly displays them as agapé names of light with double light-folds, folds of light that manifest them and everyone else according to their individual, family, political, national and worldview singularities in Word’s uniquely-engraved personhoods of Name, all pan-under the umbrella of the agapé city-names suspended in their self-luminations of Name. They are gloriously reflecting this way in Name’s non-reflective visions of them alongside Word’s in Name’s. This quietly displays Palestinian and Israeli’s agapé names of light with pacific light-folding eyes pan-above, below and within their Agapé Crowns of Word, all while exchanging visions of Name’s sourced virtues in Word with each other pancubically in the foreground of their pacific radiating sky-blue minds permeating each other.
Recognizing this infinite value between them, graciously bestowed upon them in their perfected oneness with Word and Name — sharing the illuminating fragrances of the isles of light suspended panaround the City of Agapé Light, all formed out of Name’s multi-iridescent omniscience in Word, and the twelve jeweled-light-folds of Name’s visage in Word reflecting in their pacific light-folding eyes pan-within the city — Israeli and Palestinian humbly choose to make each other more important and straightaway give Name all their agapé through each other. They find themselves manifest in the agapé city-name of David.
They cannot enter this city yet, but already have.
World Democracy Breathes its First Breath
The door of our house of knowledge opens both ways and ubiquitously in the foyer of its world pupil. In plain and blinded sight, the forty-two genesis generations of both Israeli and Palestinian are displayed with veracity in their illuminating physical death and subsequent illuminating birth — out of the crystalline wombs of Name’s sourced agapé virtue for them both in Word. At once where it already happened, they both manifest again in the agapé timeframe and enter the pan-diamond room of the Agapé City of David. No longer in the serene quiet of believing they are alone, panhere, they are in the serene, orchestrated sounds of David’s agapé city-name, with their houses of knowledge conjoined pan-within.
All who are consciously present in David’s pan-diamond room focus their perfected oneness with Name and Word onto the one structural drama playing out between Israeli and Palestinian in their houses of knowledge. Suspended pandirectionally around them, the multitude of eternities seeks to behold the light of the central theme, that of their Dueling Agapé Songs, which have been working themselves out between them throughout The Story and are now being fully staged for all to see at the conclusion. Dueling in the foyer’s history has always been deadly in contrast to the good-natured bantering of its source between our self-luminations of Name. They take turns making the lustrous iridescences of Word’s pan-tessellating singularity ascend through their own untessellating jasper light-folds, folds that block and transform the nature of the spiritual duel in the foyer’s world pupil.
Again and again, they take turns making them ascend to configure their awakening efflorescent beauty as the eyes looking from and at each other’s permeating house of knowledge. This goes on across forty-two generations simultaneously until Name’s uniquely-engraved personhood of each of their singularities fully manifests Word’s vision of dual peace in and between their permeating houses. Then, every generation on this unseen before vision canvas, two or more of these radiating pancubic presences start double light-folding themselves with those touching the jasper double light-fold between Esau, Jacob, the Woman and the Scarlet Beast. It brings them into Word’s vision of dual peace with the second jasper, purified with all the other iridescences. Only then on this eternal canvas of the omni-minds, with vivified pacific eyes on all surfaces, does the theme get fully revealed — our self-luminations of Name push each other away and hide in the universe from each other, watching, from pan-above, below and within the Agapé Crowns of Word, how long it will take, through the lost lifetimes of misplaced hatred in the world, before they find each other again, impossible as it seems to appear for them to ever be separated.
The pristine voices of Word’s singularities pan-sing of it in deep marble tones, reverberating on all The Hall’s glass pan-surfaces. The Watch has Name’s Pan-Diamond filled with the rarest of meaningful fragrances and illuminating tastes, all suspended while experiencing it throughout the Agapé City of David, as well as all other Agapé City-Names consciously permeating each other panhere. In the timeless signature of this, the great rhythmic sound of its instruments of righteousness pan-play the mind-feelings of Word, carefully following every moment of The Watch. Crystallizing panarrays repeating them in chorus, they are accompanied by the radiantly awakening mind-passions and pan-enlightening mind-moods of Israeli and Palestinian in The Watch. During their many inner pandirectional ascensions, The Watch manifests in their agapé as they give it all to Name through each other. In this blessing of blessings, they find themselves mirroring a dozen clear tessellations of their light-folds into chrysoprase agapé faces for each other. Transparentizing everything, they see endlessly into The Sacred Agapé Seen Word in and between them. As a result, from all the pandimensional surfaces of their permeating spiritual bodies, they behold each other’s faces as the faces of The Sacred Seen Word and The Sacred See Name.
Israeli looks at Palestinian. “David is part of the transparent world of my genesis suneidesis. Word glanced at us through him and we formed these chrysoprase faces of light for each other.”
Palestinian looks at Israeli. “David suffered for us when we hated Word in each other.”
In the foyer, the pan-diamond room permeates their physical bodies within both. With the grace of His visage, Name looks at Word through them. Immediately, their self-luminations of Name manifest some of the recent killings in the foyer. Sublime hues of fellow Israeli and many, many fellow Gazan souls ascend in The Watch — agapé spiritual souls of light who, having killed each other spiritually in their physical experience, rise by the power of Name’s Word in their forgiveness for one another. With the chrysoprase agapé faces they form for each other, they see through their lost lifetimes and find each other in The Watch.
Palestinian looks. “David knows about killing, murdering, as well as committing adultery, and yet, he has been blessed with the agapé city-name. Allah alone is Wise.”
Israeli looks. “David did all of God’s will. But while the word-symbol evil ruled in his perception, he was a blasphemous name possessed in the blind perception of the undisciplined woman. However, God made it pass away because He saw how much David was after His heart and would do all His will when able. Therefore, knowing how much God loves His blind agapé names, especially the blind, undisciplined woman, longing for these spiritual souls to see and find each other in The Watch, David learned how to give all his agapé to Him through them. He stopped being a blasphemous name and, in the agapé timeframe, was able to stop accusing Christ of being a blasphemer.
“And now in the present, through David’s agapé city-name, Word frees the many who are pedophiles, including the multitudes who are such only in their spirit — because of having accused Word of being a pedophile in others by hating them. With the power of Name’s Word in their deep remorse, they all see through their lost lifetimes in The Watch and find the spiritual souls of the little ones their actions or thoughts have harmed, longing greatly for the spiritual souls of these little ones to find their spiritual souls and forgive them.”
Palestinian looks. “May we learn to love each other like this, as Christ loved us.”
A pan-crescendo of joy resounds throughout our conjoined houses of knowledge, together in Name’s City of Agapé Light. However, as in the beginning, at the same time, Name reveals the endless suffering of Word in the foyer, as the sublime felicity of the pan-diamond room permeates it untouched.
However, this time we see Word spiritually breathing the rarified air of forgiveness between all the forgiven — starting with Israeli and Palestinian and Democrat, Republican and Independent — then breathing it physically into our transparent worldviews of nations, political parties, and individuals. Strengthening those who bear other’s suffering first, it restores our awareness in the pan-diamond room. The breath of the Spirit of Life raises us out of the supersession and displays Word’s dual vision of peace, rendering the jasper double light-fold completely useless, no longer able to consume all the inhabitants of the earth.
And in this, world democracy takes its first breath in our world suneidesis, elohim taking their place in the Congregation of El, together, El-elohe-names of agapé light in self-government. But to take its second breath here in The Spiritual Story, we must join Word in Name’s golden pan-diamond-folding eyes, inspiring us to practice the principle like Word.
David looks. “Will a seeing name listen to blind names judging it or simply love and forgive them unconditionally? At the table of eternities, hosted by the genesis name Abraham in Judaism, the city-name Muhammad in Islam rises above the universe set as a folding chair, pan-alongside the city-names in Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and all other world-names in Word’s grand agapé singularity, whose members love the spiritually blind according to the principle and thus suspend their political singularity in the pancenter of their self-luminations of Name.”
Name in Word looks: “Our oneness rests in each of your El-elohe-names, whose pancenter exhibits your agapé city-name, displaying Word’s vision of dual peace between you and I.”
Epilogue
Word’s vision of dual peace between Name and ourselves is envisioned in our El-elohe-names. It teaches us that, in envisioning Word in each other, we are envisioning ourselves in each other also, according to the many different symbolic double light-folds we manifest in together. We must do so to use our light in the light-folds we are a part of to give preference to all others, so that we may consciously permeate each other on all five levels of our names in Word’s singularity and give Name all our agapé through each other. It empowers us to stop resisting blindness anywhere its jasper mistranslations and misinterpretations of the knowledge of Word have taken root.
We are empowered to stop resisting the blind actions of the world entourage blindly and start resisting them with unconditional agapé and forgiveness.
Have we crossed a line in The Story and given our pearls to swine, failed to speak in parables so that those who reject the principle may not understand, lest they do understand and are healed? Jesus told his followers these things at a time when he referred to them all as little children spiritually, just as Paul told many that he could not speak to them spiritually because they were not ready. The fact is none of the visions produced in The Story will take root and free us unless we choose to love the spiritually blind.
Keep in mind though, The Story is not about salvation but about the choice of following the principle to participate in mature democracy or monarchies that follow the principle. Yet no part of this misuses Christ’s teachings, making it a religious matter also for some of us.
As children, we all need to accept the things we cannot understand as mysteries, things we may conclude that no one can understand in this world. So if it were not to calm our fears of not being able to understand certain things, primarily how to love our enemies, why else would Jesus himself call some of us swine when he calls us to love them as well, joining us in our childish name-calling but only in appearance? Calling those who steal from us thieves and telling us not to show them our pearls is the only point that still applies today if we are not children.
Although spiritual knowledge has increased enormously as predicted or prophesied, depending on our beliefs, we all must start the journey as children. Only now, children hear from those with this knowledge along with those only professing to have it and must decide for themselves or listen to their teachers to know what to listen to. If it is a matter of who to listen to, we have placed individuals above the truth and are already mistaken. Only Word (Christ or Truth depending on our beliefs) can say, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)
Thus, some believers agree with this approach to Word’s teaching and yet refuse to follow it without the approval of their church leaders, who believe it is not for us to know until “the Son of Man returns.” I respect that fully.
Bear in mind though, again, speaking to children at that time, he also said that those who do not believe in him should at least believe in his works, all driven by love for everyone. Such followers do not listen for his voice. For at the judgment, the righteous and the unrighteous call him Lord, but as he said, only those who love the least among them will enter the kingdom (Matthew 25:31-46). For many of us, this refers to the kingdom of mature governance on earth.
The point is, for believers and nonbelievers alike, it all comes down to whether we choose to love the spiritually blind and listen to the truth of how and follow it, explained in detail in The Mind of the Heart, or continue to only tolerate each other and remain blind ourselves. Most rejected Christ’s teaching on this in his time, but things are changing.
As knowledge of Word put it then, “The whole world lies in the evil [of spiritual blindness].” But referring to the fulfillment of the times of the nations, this generation when Word (Truth or Christ depending on our beliefs) is revealed, Word said, “In that night [of spiritual darkness, which we are in now], there will be two [spiritually asleep] in one bed [of habitation for their souls]: one will be taken, the other will be left.”
This means that half the world will choose the principle and be freed from spiritual blindness to participate in mature governance. But those around him asked, “‘Where Lord?’ And he said to them, ‘Where the body [is]. There also the aetoi will be gathered.’”
Aetoi is Greek for eagles or vultures, depending on the context. The flight of eagles symbolizes the freedom in our minds when we can love and forgive unconditionally. The flight of vultures symbolizes the hunt of the soulish body, not the physical body, for the appearance of death, for to hate in our heart is spiritual murder. This context uses both, wherein those taken are set free from their soulish body and shown where their place is in the new world order. The undisciplined in the new order will be loved and forgiven unconditionally — finding many opportunities to change when ready.
Word explained where the place is for those who are free, as symbolized in The Story, saying that many from the East and West will sit down with Abraham, the father of the great western religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, who invites those of the great eastern religions also, Hinduism and Buddhism — inviting all who love their enemies as Word taught.
If you have chosen the principle, then according to your understanding, the agapé essence of The Story has become the senses of your spiritual house. And as such, it possesses Name and Word in itself with the essence of your spiritual senses, experiencing your physical body spiritually as well. Oh how the oneness of Word’s mind and suneidesis works in our senses to empower us to know their in-each-other oneness in one another. We are all shining pan-directionally inwardly and outwardly with both forms of jasper light, emanating both ways through our agapé doors of other-importance.
At the fulfillment of the times of the nations, when we need it most, Word’s unconditional agapé for the spiritually blind is making our unconditional agapé for them abound day by day.

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, but it has a dual form, interpreted according to context, God the divine singular and gods plural as in sons of God.
“Elohim (Name — God or Life depending on our beliefs) created (singular verb form in Hebrew) the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
“You (plural form in Hebrew) [are] elohim and sons of the Most High [Elohim], all of you.” Psalm 82:6
The latter 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, often 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 connotation, 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 also 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 — a word-symbol defined as governance of, by and for the people, the heart of the people — is held together first by knowledge of agapé as revealed in spirituality.
Consider the spiritual reasoning behind what words are.
a. Words are labels for the things we can experience with our senses but are symbols for the things we cannot experience this way.
b. When word-symbols are true, they transform into living words in our mind.
c. For example, the word-symbol “love” is true when it is unconditional, for love waiting for conditions stops being love. Thus, the word-symbol love or agapé transforms into living agapé in us, an experience not a label for an experience.
d. We can know this because we are living and know when somethings else is living or not. This is how we know that agapé is real.
e. When word-symbols are not true, they not only do not transform in us but build an imaginary world of words in our minds, where agapé is not real. So since democracy is about people who care for each other enough to keep their democracy, an essential level of unconditional love, agapé, democracy without agapé is an imaginary world in our minds.
The word democracy is a symbol because we cannot experience it with our senses. It is not buildings or even people themselves. Democracy is a symbol in our suneidesis that joins us together. Those of us working against that unity are living in an imaginary world of democracy.
A king using the principle though, as partially true 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.
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.
Dual vision of peace is one of the translations of the word Jerusalem, pointing to heavenly Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation, Name’s City of Agapé Light.
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?
