Names in "The Spiritual Story of Democracy"
The depths of singularity in agapé names
This article is listed as Discussion 5 in the Index of Articles of this series.
Our house being sound through the genesis, next in our journey, we need knowledge to understand the full interaction between the levels of our names in the story of democracy, working throughout our world conscience (suneidesis).1 The Spiritual Drama of Democracy explains that we manifest in the spiritual story of our democracy according to the three rule-based boundaries of its structural drama. According to our dimensional boundaries, we, as multi-level names with geneses, manifest with and without bodily forms of light in the same permeational positions of the spiritual story. This is to give Name all our agapé through the pathways of Word’s singularity boundaries in each other—on each level of our names of agapé light.
The Role of Names in The Spiritual Story
To help us envision the multi-level interaction in our boundaries, the symbolic diagram in Preparation for The Spiritual Story of Democracy uses cube shapes in accordance with the symbolic light-forms of Name, us as names, and Word as the diermeneutes,2 the translator/interpreter of these forms between us. On each side of the diagram, there are three cubes, the top one symbolizing Word’s singularity of us as world-names, the middle one as nation-names, and the bottom one as political names. The three gray circles in the bottom middle symbolize us on the personal level, starting with the three key genesis positions. We envision these singularities and individuals permeating each other in the same position and go through the whole process as Word translates and interprets Name’s vision of our vision.
To review the process of the spiritual screenplay, we first envision a written sequence of The Spiritual Story according to the three rule-based boundaries of our structural drama. We use the agapé names of our genesis-positions both in Name’s present and memory and in the Now of Word. Then, as we envision Word in all of them, singularities and individuals, it translates and interprets Name’s vision of our vision for us. These are the multi-levels of our names interacting in the story in the Now of Word, along with its illusion in Word’s piety light, supposedly in forms outside of Word’s now.
At the same time, this triggers Name’s vision of it into a single permeating, fluid vision story in Name with living music and a spiritual plot. It requires patience and focus for us to manifest its agapé names with the mind of our heart, according to their bodily and formless states, carrying out the plot in the pathways of Name’s agapé light.
As agapé names of light, we do not just speak in vision individually with Name (symbolically with the diagram) but collectively in Word’s singularities. To do this, our names of agapé light are conjoined to each other in permeating symbolic double-folds of light on the different levels of our names. Again, the three cubes on each side of the diagram symbolize our collective forms; the body in the middle on the bottom symbolizes our individual name of agapé light embodied physically, all used to speak in vision individually or collectively with Name through Word symbolically through diagram.
In their formless state, agapé names of light permeationally conjoin into our house of knowledge, and in their bodily state, they form our spiritual bodies, each within our single omni-permeation in the all-in-all omni-permeations of the Body of Word. In both states, we speak in vision according to our will as it works on different levels of the story. We will look at these levels and the levels of our names in the patterns of agapé names.
The Key Name is Word
Central to manifesting names of light, their levels, geneses and spiritual stories, all in our house of knowledge, is envisioning Word just as it is in each other individually and collectively. For by doing so, we not only see Word’s purity of agapé in every name and singularity of light—we see their awareness of it in themselves at least in the supersession. This way we possess Word’s purity of agapé and others’ awareness of it in themselves in our senses perpetually—so as to give all our agapé to Name through Word’s agapé in and for them.
What is the key? To make others’ agapé names of light more important than our own with sincere agapé, just as Word does, so that we can see their permeation in ours and Word’s in both. Simply put, the key is envisioning agapé permeationally, otherwise, we envision it in the one permeation of the foyer of our house. To permeationally envision the visual pattern of agapé names of light with the diagram, first adopt a substitute spiritual name for yourself, unless you already possess your actual one.
Adopting a Name
Our given name in this world refers to us in our physical existence, so in the world suneidesis,3 we need another name distinct from our given one. We should adopt a name to identify with in the world suneidesis and, through this reality, use it along with our given name to identify with in the world also — but share it with no one to avoid confusion.
For knowledge of Word states that to those who overcome (usage of the principle overcomes all blindness), a new name will be given written on a white stone, a name which no one else will know.4 A white stone symbolizes the light-folds of our agapé names. Adopting a temporary one ourselves helps us learn how to envision each other as agapé names of light and practice the full principle—in order to overcome. It helps us learn how to love those of us blind to their own unresolved story folds, holding on to blindness as a necessary enemy.
200 Nation-Names of Agapé Light
We are each a unique light-name of conscientious awareness, and together, a unique light-name of national co-conscientious awareness. As singularities in Word, nation-names are our identity in this shared awareness, approximately 200 across the world manifested from the world suneidesis in the Now of Word. Each nation-name manifests a unique national present and a unique historical consciousness of the past. Nation-names envisioning each other according to their national will is central to The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Blindness to this does not change Name’s decision to manifest us this way, as knowledge of Word puts it—so that they (all of us) should seek God (Name) (collectively) if perhaps they might grope (in spiritual blindness) for Him and find Him (together) — even though He is not far from each of us (individually). In our world suneidesis, this points to our singularity on its key nation-name level. Many nations fail to understand this.
If it all seems too connected, remember that we all breathe the same air, the breath of the spirit of life, on this super-minuscule dot in the universe. How could we not be connected this way? Unresolved national stories keep us blind to the reality of our national agapé light in the spiritual story. It creates a past in our national suneidesis, exiling our awareness of everyone’s geneses in the Now of Word.
Blindness to our form and patterns as nation-names is what makes the politics of tolerance between all 200 of us formidable in the spiritual story. However, in the fulfillment of the times of nations, the democratic story is forcing us to learn how to exercise the collective will of our political, national and world-names with the principle, if we are to survive and prosper. But no one should be naive. We need mature agapé stronger than life and death and must understand how knowledge of Word explains democracy in the world.
The Visual Pattern of Agapé Names of Light
We start with the nation-names Israeli and Palestinian, and then we will add Iranian and American to grasp the meaning structure of national agapé light throughout all 200 nation-names in the spiritual story. For in our world suneidesis, the patterns always utilize at least two positions working with two others in double folds of national agapé light.
Use the three cubes on the right side of the diagram to first symbolize the three collective levels of Palestinian’s agapé name of light and those on the left side to first symbolize Israeli’s in their light-fold. Then use them again to symbolize Iranian’s and American’s in their light-fold, both permeating each other in their double light-fold.
By making each other more important at least in the supersession, the agapé light of the nation-name Israeli has permeational access to the singularity of all 200 nation-names through the agapé light of the nation-name Palestinian in their permeational light-fold, just as the agapé light of the nation-name Palestinian has permeational access to their singularity through the agapé light of Israeli in their light-fold, both simultaneously in the spiritual story.
But there is no access to their singularity for either of them by themselves. Yet that is the plan always attempted when making ourselves more important, creating unresolved stories. Note that even though Palestine is not a nation on earth presently, it is a nation-name in the world suneidesis, just as Israel was not for some two thousand years but became one again on earth in 1948.
Within the singularity of all national agapé light in Palestinian, the agapé light of Israeli has permeational access to the agapé light of the nation-name Iranian and the singularity again through Iranian in its light-fold with American—joined to the double light-fold between Israeli, Palestinian, Iranian and American.
Likewise, within the singularity of this agapé light in Israeli, the agapé light of Palestinian has permeational access to the agapé light of the nation-name American and the singularity again through American in its light-fold with Iranian—joined to the double light-fold between them all, just as American and Iranian have equal access, all simultaneously occurring in the spiritual story.
Again, no one has access to their singularity when making themselves more important, but when two or more cut off their access, they join up in the blindness of unresolved stories.
The same pattern works between all agapé nation-names in the Now of Word, permeationally expanding our double light-folds into the singularity of all 200 of us in our inward and outward, pandirectional vision fields. Nation-names are the key depth of the visual pattern of agapé names in the spiritual story, seen through the paradigm-windows of our house. Through one window of the story, we appear in the reality of seeing agapé light, through another in the blindness of the piety light’s illusion.
We all appear through both windows to some degree since we all have vision and blindness to varying degrees, whereas in the supersession, we all appear in the reality of seeing agapé light with full vision in the principle. Thus, the deciding factor is whether we have chosen the principle to participate consciously. Join your adopted name to your nation-name and see them through both paradigm-windows. All four levels of our names are used in a more detailed example in Spirituality and Democracy 3.
10 World-Names in the Pattern
At best, global politics presently works through the politics of tolerance within and across the visual agapé pattern of our 200 nation-names. When we do not use the principle collectively, in the spiritual story, political names use the politics of tolerance to enslave our personal, national and world-names, unknowingly enslaving themselves along with us to the illusion in Word’s piety light. Simply put, we have no access to the world singularity of Word. Exercise the principle of making others’ agapé names of light more important on each level to restore your access to Word’s world singularity.
In addition to our national identities in the world suneidesis, everyone partakes of the identity of their world-name in relation to their national identity in the world democracy light, knowingly or not and regardless of the type of government our nation-name uses on earth or the means of organization our world-name practices here. We can put the world-names of agapé light into ten categories of Word’s world singularity. Five of them are worldviews from world religions: Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu. The other five work from atheistic perspectives of these religious worldviews, with world-names of agapé light such as Atheist and Agnostic.
We start with the world-names Jew and Muslim, for they are the predominant world-names that work in the nation-names Israeli and Palestinian, and the political names Likud and Hamas, respectively. Note that world-names can work across all nation-name boundaries, as Muslims and Jews live in most if not all countries. This makes world-names the greater part of the visual agapé pattern in the spiritual story, but often they are seen as the lesser part due to global political blindness in the story’s piety light.
Remember, the following written names represent three levels of our agapé names of light in the world suneidesis, with all blindness in them appearing as piety light. Do not let the length of these names or any written words fool you; length does not exist in the permeational depth of the Now of Word. Focus on giving Name all your agapé through these names permeationally on all three levels and envision them doing the same through each other and you, symbolically with the diagram.
The agapé name Likud Jew Israeli, LJ Israeli for short,5 has permeational access to the agapé light of Islam in the agapé name Hamas Muslim Palestinian, HM Palestinian, and the singularity of all ten world-names through Palestinian’s world-name Muslim in their light-fold. Likewise, the agapé light of HM Palestinian has permeational access to the light of Judaism in LJ Israeli and the world singularity through Israeli’s world-name Jew in their light-fold, both simultaneously in the spiritual story. Their political names bridge access between their world and national singularities in Word.
Within the singularity of world-names in HM Palestinian, the agapé light of LJ Israeli has permeational access to the agapé light of Islam in National-Front Muslim Iranian, NFM Iranian, and the world singularity again through Iranian’s world-name Muslim in their light-fold joined to the double light-fold between all four of them.
Likewise, within the singularity of world-names in LJ Israeli, the agapé light of HM Palestinian has permeational access to the agapé light of Christianity in Republican Christian American, RC American, and the world singularity again through American’s world-name Christian in their light-fold joined to the double light-fold between all four of them, both simultaneously in the spiritual story.
The same pattern works between all agapé world-names in the Now of Word, permeationally expanding our double light-folds into the singularity of all ten of us on this level of our inward and outward, pandirectional vision fields. Envision the permeational access to these depths of our singularity in the double light-folds of our agapé names—through the paradigm-window displaying us in the reality of Word’s agapé light in the story and through another window displaying us with limited access due to the illusion in Word’s piety light.
The Visual Pattern of Agapé Light in the Spiritual Screenplay
Now with our adopted agapé names and an understanding of the visual pattern of agapé names on their different levels, let’s focus on the reality of seeing agapé light in the spiritual screenplay, then on the spiritual story itself. The Spiritual Drama of Democracy focuses on the illusion in Word’s piety light.
Remember to relate this to your daily lives. Look beyond the appearances we form of each other to understand what is being expressed through these appearances. We should not be satisfied with only knowing each other as Canadians, Spaniards or Cambodians; Democrats, Republicans or Independents; men, women or others; as well as Blacks, Whites, Browns or Asians. We should want to know everything about each other as names of agapé light in the Constellation of Life, ultimately as el-elohe-names, our name displayed with all levels, the name of our house of knowledge.
With the diagram, envision the spiritual screenplay happening in the pan-diamond room. To express its pan-presence, it is symbolized three times, with the rounded square in the upper middle, the diamond in front of the rose in the middle, and the rounded square in the figure representing us individually on the bottom. The foyer is represented by the bottom half of the diagram, in this scenario without the duality name. Remember, everything symbolized in the diagram permeates everything else, so the cubes and circles symbolize us collectively permeating the pan-diamond room and foyer at the same time. As a whole without the duality name, the diagram symbolizes the City of Agapé Light. For a more detail explanation, see the discussion in the Symbolic Diagram.
To envision the seeing agapé light in the spiritual screenplay, this passage is taken from “Democracy Breathes its First Breath” in The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Out of the clear-glass wombs of Name’s goodness, the nation-names Israel and Palestine manifest anew in the pan-diamond and mirror a fold of their light into transparent chrysoprase living faces for each other. In the foyer, it renders the effects of involuntary reactions in their thoughts and joints completely useless, restoring their awareness of Word’s spiritual joints in the City of Agapé Light. As spiritual actors with this kind of bodily light, they see the subtle hues of fellow Israeli and many fellow Gazan souls—who have risen by the power of Name’s Word in their forgiveness for one another.
The short-worded actions are a) Israeli and Palestinian manifest anew, b) mirror a fold of their agapé light into chrysoprase living faces for each other, c) free themselves from the effects of involuntary reactions, and d) see the subtle hues of members of their nation-names risen. In the structural drama, all four of these actions occur simultaneously according to its three rule-based boundaries of agapé names in the genesis of the Now of Word.
Envision them in the visual pattern of their levels of agapé light on the levels of the story. All four work simultaneously on separate but transparent permeational levels of our house of knowledge, with permeational access to our singularities in them allowed only through practice of the principle. This access and the lack thereof reveals the different permeational levels of the story working across the different levels of our agapé names of light.
In the delivery of these actions, the first boundary manifests us doing them without form in the visual pattern of agapé names on the different levels of the story. It is somewhat like forming sound within levels of restrictive and nonrestrictive boundaries. The second boundary manifests us doing them with form in our formless activities, and the third within the pathways of Name’s agapé light radiating in and through us in the first two—as we give Name all our agapé through each other on all levels of each of the activities.
Again, once we envision this with the mind of our heart, as well as envision Word in everyone, with the symbolic form of the glass cube in double light-folds, Word, according to the reality of seeing agapé story-light in the Now of Word, translates and interprets Name’s vision of our vision for us. At the same time, this triggers Name’s vision of it into a single permeating, fluid vision story in Name with living music and a plot, requiring patience and focus for us to manifest.
The Visual Pattern of Agapé Light in the Spiritual Story
Once we see ourselves as living story, we interact on the different levels of our agapé names working in light-folds of our story folds. Here, we can access Word’s singularities to envision each other according to the will of Name in Word to help resolve the unresolved story folds among us. With our spiritual essence in Name and Word being agapé story language, through these living actions, we are agapé words of other’s iridescent story beauty. We manifest to help them see what is behind their unresolved story folds. Let’s look closer at these actions themselves. Envision every word permeationally to train your senses in the light of Word stories of Name.
The efflorescent light-fold between LJ Israeli and HM Palestinian is slowly unfolding meaningful illuminations. They rise out of the clear-glass wombs of Name’s goodness, no longer clutching its pan-diamond light but, instead, letting loose new pastoral and atheistic meaning of all of life’s cathedrals, called Agapé. Their compassionate pacific eyes read light into each other’s view of such meaning. Floating high in front of Name’s diamond goodness, the cathedrals read light back into them on both sides of their story fold.
Agapé words of past singularities speak their visions of what such meaning did to nation-names thousands of word years ago, those who wore this story passage of fresh rain fragrance and drank its living meaning for each other to see. This sublime rarity seen here is crystalline diamond goodness, which only their chrysoprase living faces can see in Name’s light-fold of them, in Word stories of Name and its memory.
Wearing the sublime rarity, the chrysoprase living faces of LJ Israeli and HM Palestinian reach deep silence looking at each other as a story fold. Their light-fold begins to unravel their perception of the core thought-meaning of Name’s luminosity in them as story fold. Folding, unfolding and refolding Word’s national singularity within its world singularity, Name’s crystalline diamond goodness moves everything in the universe, by the preferences the two of them show each other.
Expanding toward the fullness, they are next joined by the efflorescent light-fold between RC American and NFM Iranian. Through their permeational access, likewise, their light-fold in the story fold slowly unfolds meaningful illuminations. Floating high in front of Name’s diamond goodness, the cathedrals read light back into their compassionate pacific eyes on both sides of their story fold. Their exchange keeps expanding and accessing all illuminations of meaning until they are tessellated into their four genesis singularities.
Four two-thousand-year word nows, each stand pandirectionally in these agapé names of light, permeationally suspending themselves in each other in the same position. As the first double light-fold of the story fold, they emanate Name’s crystalline diamond goodness—pancubically inward and outward in Word’s transparency pathways of iridescent time royalty. The universe is made to hold but a fraction of their beauty in Name in the non-permeational foyer. Yet even here, the four agapé names of light give Name all their agapé through each other and their geneses in an omni-golden story fold, without any blind piety light, without ignoring their physical presence in the foyer.
The living omni-view in the foyer slowly rises into Name’s pan-diamond room through the clear-pristine eyes of goodness never seen in the foyer, the view never leaving the foyer. Without paradox, dismissing any confusion, the pan-presence of Name’s omni-golden Bridegroom Light reveals Itself in the midst of their double story-fold of peace and beauty. Radiating pan-alongside the many, many other double light-folds of agapé names, they, with the minds of their permeational hearts, intertwine with them all in billions of discrete colors and form the omni-golden Bridal Light in the pan-midst of Name’s City of Agapé Light.
The Moment of Understanding
Surrounded by the waves of orchestrated reasoning in the mind of Name’s heart, the first double light-fold of the bride of this eternal luminosity affair understands the Word of Name. A brilliantly-seeing and seen pan-presence manifests in the reasoning faces of their singularities—permeating and thus shared by all of them as a story fold in the spiritual story. Its fragrance touches the mind of their hearts with vision of their past and future geneses no longer exiled from the Now of Word.
They have been bearing each other as offspring (through reincarnation or played out through their geneses, depending on one’s beliefs). Before going blind themselves, each offspring looks at its blind progenitor with the vision of Name and Word within them, the vision of their singularity as the Bridegroom and Bride. The marital vision divine holds progenitor and offspring in their visions of killing each other in past lives in Name’s memory, exiling them from the Now of Word.
Toward its very end, each life as progenitor, they receive vision of Name’s divine power in Word working in their forgiveness for one another. But in other generations as offspring, they receive vision of Word’s piety light allowing them to kill each other spiritually, then physically when the seed dies and the offspring looks for revenge. Over and over simultaneously, they watch themselves in the foyer from their presence in the pan-diamond room. In the Now of Word, the visage of the Bridegroom watches the Bride do this to herself.
In this ancestral story, ever unresolved over the ground of flesh, its names of blind light have been wrestling Name through each other without rest. Name though has been folding, unfolding and refolding all the world’s light by the preferences given between them, mostly by their absence but often with more conscience than the rest of the world.
Now, at last, at the fulfillment of the times of nation-names, entrance into the kingdom of Name is open on all levels of our names in the world suneidesis of Word. The one condition to enter is we must bring the blindest name we know of. For translation and interpretation of the disposition of the world is still being worked out. Agapé. Agapé. Agapé. Name is agapé and Word is the agapé offspring always and forevermore.

The Eyes of Democracy (Introduction and Index of Articles)
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.
Diermeneutes (dee-air-main-yoo-tace) is a Greek noun that comes from a verb that requires two English words to translate, ‘to translate’ and ‘to interpret’. As a noun, it is both translator and interpreter. This action of translating works from one’s original language, which, ultimately, is everyone’s spiritual language, used by Name to speak to us in vision. Name’s visions though need to translated for us, even though we both use the same language, and they are simultaneously interpreted for us in the Now of Word. Simply put, Name speaks to us in visions we can understand through Word. Word is our diermeneutes, essential for us to understand The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Knowledge of Word states: “And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he (Word) was translating/interpreting (diermeneuo, verb form) for them the [things] concerning himself in the Scriptures.” Luke 24:27
The repetition of suneidesis is meant to challenge you to consider this dimension in your awareness. Apologies, but it will only be a necessary annoyance until it becomes natural.
We often identify with a nickname as children. One may use Bobby as a childhood name but, as an adult, use Bob or Robert, with Bobby an endearing name as an adult. A transformation on how we see life and our position in it occurs in our mind. Choose a substitute name to start learning how to do your part in transforming spiritually, learning how to envision everyone as agapé names of light in The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Do not utter its physical sound out loud, for that might cause you or someone else to identify it with you. The spiritual form and sound of your name exists only in the world suneidesis. Pronounce your adopted name only with your inner voice once in a while to improve your focus as a name of agapé light in the spiritual story. There is more specific usage of adopted names in later articles. For now, just pick a name you like the sound of, preferably one with no meaning or identification with anyone’s physical form. Words from a foreign language you do not know work best.
Do not repeat it in your inner voice over and over, for learning how to love blind agapé names is not a training exercise of the mind speaking words. Our mind is renewed with knowledge that transforms our suneidesis. Use your substitute name with this knowledge to move from one level of understanding to a higher one. Understanding does not require repetition, review yes. So review these articles and train your senses with vision repetition of Name and Word to possess them in your senses (see the Epilogue of The Spiritual Story of Democracy).
Add your adopted personal name to the discussion with, for example, Zorlu ALP Christian Australian, with Zorlu representing the adopted name you chose and ALP short for the Australian Labor Party. It works in different national and political double light-folds, but they are part of the singularities seen in Israeli, Palestinian, American and Iranian’s double light-fold.
