Some topics are challenging and others simple. It is important to remember that we are learning spiritual grammar to speak in vision with Name and Word as we know them — God or Life and Christ or Truth or however you refer to them in your religion. Life teaches us this language every day.
Unconditional love, agapé, is the underlying meaning when speaking in vision, for without it, we are still blind. Regular grammar does not have specific meaning by itself, but once used to form sentences, it can communicate anything we want. It is the same with spiritual grammar, only we use it to form visions of agapé instead. It strengthens our mind and suneidesis1 in agapé and, therefore, unites us to renew our democracy.
Once you start envisioning Word as he is, you will know the difference between imagining and envisioning. Night and day. Blindness and agapé.
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.
