Visual Preparation for The Spiritual Story of Democracy
Envisioning Symbols of Agapé Light
This article is listed as Argument 5 in the Index of Articles of this series.
With knowledge of spiritual fasting part of our house of knowledge, we can do our part to regain awareness of what is really going on spiritually in the world, not as science sees it. For science cannot build a model to know or predict what happens in our spiritual soul, the core of spirituality, no more than spirituality can build a spaceship. At this juncture, humanity needs a model to understand its soul.
Note that the biggest mistake we make is thinking that spirituality is simple compared to science. Mathematics is an external language bound to the relations of the universe. Its precision can be used for visualization. The external language of prose or poetry is not nearly as precise but is bound to the relations of spirit, whose chalkboard is the spiritual mind, where every symbol is its own living precision.
In a word, the magnitude of living light is beyond physical measurement. It consists of all of us, names of light, giving Name all our agapé light through each other in the singularity of Word in the light of our transparent suneidesis. However, there is a process called spiritual blindness that creates an illusory reverse magnitude called the duality name, which blinds our suneidesis with physical light.
The model that spirituality has built is “taught by Spirit (Name) comparing spiritual [light] to spiritual [light].” For example, it compares “the light of the knowledge of God’s (Name’s) glory [reflecting] in the face of Christ (Word)” — to the light of this knowledge reflecting in our faces in Word’s singularity. This is based on the one-is-many spiritual truth.
Knowledge of Word states: “The Lord [Name (is)] our God (elohim), the Lord [Name (is)] One.” The Hebrew word elohim has a singular and plural meaning, making it infinitely instructive to add Name is One. For we are also referred to as elohim1 but in the oneness of Word’s singularity, explained below in the section “Perfected Into One”.
In this article, we will use a diagram to envision the light of this knowledge.
The duality name will try to prevent us from consciously experiencing the magnitude of this, particularly in our daily lives. Therefore, in line with knowledge of Word teaching that agapé grows in mature knowledge and all perception, we will use the diagram to render the duality name completely useless as we prepare to envision Name’s immeasurable agapé light in The Spiritual Story of Democracy. To learn how to envision its story motion, see The Spiritual Drama of Democracy.
Image Symbols and Living Forms
As discussed, spiritually speaking, words are labels for the things we can experience with our senses but are symbols for the things we cannot. When word-symbols are true, our perception of them reveals that they are living words in the mind of our heart. The word-symbol agapé is true when it is unconditional, for love waiting for conditions stops being love.
Therefore, the word-symbol agapé transforms in our perception into living agapé in us, an experience not a label for an experience, which originates within us, not from the word-symbol outside of us used to label it inside. We can know this because we are living and know when something else is living or not. This is how we know that agapé is real and understand what Word meant when saying that his words are spirit and are life.
When we draw an image that represents agapé to us, it will also transform in our perception into the living image of agapé that it came from in us. The word-symbol agapé, of course, does not have a visual form like the image-symbol agapé does. If we use a human form to draw an image of agapé, we restrict our recognition of the living image, but if we use the symbolic forms revealed in the knowledge of Word, we transform the symbolic in our perception and envision their infinite living images.
This is due, for one, to living images always being visible in the supersession, in spite of how they are veiled in the duality name, no matter how much we veil ourselves, our perception, from how our human form is used in the duality name.
Therefore, knowledge of Word states: “Present yourselves to God [Name] as alive from the dead [risen out of both sides of the duality name before it happens, while already risen in the supersession] and your members (relationships) as instruments of righteousness to God [Name].” (Romans 6:13)
To present ourselves and our relationships this way before experiencing it, we must envision Word as he is and is in all relationships. Paraphrased, Paul goes on to ask, Shall I take your relationships in the bodily agapé of Word and make them relationships in the bodily blindness of the duality name?
Even further, by loving the enemies of suneidesis as Word instructs, we enter an adversarial relationship with them, but a relationship none the less between members of different bodies. And seeing them in the supersession, we make each an instrumental relationship of the righteousness of Name’s agapé, loving Name through them, even as they wrestle Name blindly.
Word-symbols are used for instrumental relationships in The Spiritual Story of Democracy, just as image-symbols are used for them below. In addition, word-symbols and image-symbols that are not true are taken into account, those that fail to present instrumental relationships but treat their members as adversaries of substance.
Yet by not transforming in our perception, they veil the fact that they are both wrestling with Name’s substance of who they are in Word and, of course, Name is not His own adversary. Here, in the duality name, agapé seems unreal and certainly impossible to have for enemies.
Democracy is about people who care for each other enough to want to keep it for their collective well-being, as they unknowingly strive toward unconditional love. Democracy without agapé or the hope of it is an imaginary world in our minds, making our democracy in the world vulnerable to the whims of anyone who would tear down our conditional love and thus tear this democracy of tolerance apart before it can mature.
With true agapé word-symbols on our lips and image-symbols in the mind of our hearts, we can envision living democracy with Word’s agapé light in our hearts. That we may collectively mature, may this diagram be of assistance in ridding us of the habit of using false word-symbols and image-symbols, particularly those with human images in the duality name.
A Symbolic-to-Living-Form Diagram
Note that this diagram is not AI generated precisely because it would have glass realism reflecting light that dazzles our sensitive optical system. And that would work against its intended purpose of forming its image symbols in our mind permeationally and according to spiritual transparency, allowing them to reveal their living forms in the suneidesis of our hearts as word symbols do. To avoid too many details while envisioning, use the details in the diagram to filter out excessive details in your vision of the light of Word’s knowledge.
First, spend some time just looking it over and see whatever meaning you see about agapé light in the form of democracy.
Symbolic objects in every physical diagram represent things in their own space, sometimes one thing inside another. But the symbols in this diagram represent objects completely permeating each other. So, whether at the top, middle or bottom, or to the right or left, we will form all these symbols as pure light, nearly transparent objects permeating each other in the same position.
Personal names of agapé light could not be included so I recommend that you adopt a substitute spiritual name and keep it in mind as you form the relevant parts of the diagram. We will transform the symbolic in our perception and envision their infinite living images in the next section.
The top two cubes, a symbol revealed in knowledge of Word, a symbolic agapé form, for one, represent the Democratic and Republican political party leadership. The rounded cube between them symbolizes Name in Word, the life of both parties and thus all governance. The rounded cube, therefore, symbolizes all three branches simultaneously: the executive, judicial and legislative, governing while serving the citizenry as names of light in human form.
Form these three symbols as pure light of various intensities, without any darkness as all physical forms must have, permeating each other in one position in your mind, spiritual mind, not your brain. Keep them distinguishable in their own permeation. Do not attempt to form them in detail. Instead, consider them as higher or meta-symbols to allow your mind to form only generalities of Word’s agapé light in your inner vision.
The large middle cubes under both upper cubes represent the national membership of each party, Independents with or without their own leadership in a third upper cube, and apolitical citizens. The pearl coming out of each side’s leadership and resting above their membership each symbolize the political ideas of justice, compassion, education and economics.
As discussed in “Democracy and the Duality Name”, the large frames and circles between the middle cubes represent the true and false realities of governance in our perception. The outer frame symbolizes the Now of Word serving as the true timeframe of agapé light, the inner one distorted perception of the Now of Word in the duality name.
Likewise, form these symbols permeating each other without unnecessary detail in the same position. The more symbols we add, the less detail required, for we are constructing unified meta-symbols that manifest spiritual thought, visual and nonvisual, which translate back into our own language when called to.
And on the bottom, the two large rectangular cubes represent the family reality of each political party or apolitical lifestyle, trapped or freed by the Now of Word in their own perception. The pearl in each cube symbolizes the same ideas formed in the upper cubes, but here they are given birth in the family reality, aware or not of its position in living democracy.
The human outline between the lower cubes is our individual reality, where we make choices determining true or false perception of ourselves, family, community, nation and our worldview in living democracy. This is the symbol for you the reader.
Likewise, form these symbols permeating each other without unnecessary detail in the same position. The middle level with the timeframe encompasses the other two levels, so form all permeations here. This brings our unified meta-symbols of Name’s agapé light into fulfillment in Word, loosely compared to seeing the whole picture of a 3D puzzle completed.
If we understand the duality name from both timeframes of the Now of Word, along with those who appear not to, we can form relationships with them and, giving Name all our agapé through them, present them as instruments of righteousness to Name. Hopefully, they do understand more than we realize and do the same with us. Either way, we have better perception into ourselves to find compromise in our young democracy.
Details of the Diagram, Generalities Simplified in Vision
We are ready to take the next step in envisioning the magnitude of living light greater than all the universe many times over. It consists of all of us, names of light, giving Name all our agapé light through each other in the singularity of Word in the light of our transparent suneidesis.
The key symbols unifying all the meta-symbols are the two rounded cubes symbolizing Name’s agapé light in Word. The three main levels of our unified permeation are, one, Name and Word in their own oneness, two, all of us in our own oneness within theirs, and, three, the inner level with Word in us and Name in Word, explained by Word below in Perfected Into One.
As you form and envision each of the ten following categories of our unified meta-symbols, use the deepest permeations you can manage without any distance. That is, the deepest, like all others, are also on the permeable surface due to spiritual transparency.
Blind areas are merely the appearances of beliefs, morals/ethics, and their activities made to appear impenetrably opaque by looking at them strictly with images formed by the two opaque eyes of our brain or any other sense organ. Form them in shades of jasper and know that the word-symbol evil controls use of them in perception through the duality name. To know this, use the principle to control your perception in the mind of your heart, understanding how the duration of appearances blinds us to the genesis vision in our suneidesis.
Remember, there is no darkness anywhere in Name as appearances would make us believe, so any fear of forming any of this is evidence of the belief in darkness, an illusion in spiritual death. To be raised out of this, we need the faith of Name working in Word. As the belief is exposed and done away with, the light of mature agapé, agapé stronger than death, appears in all permeations and does away with fear, yirah in Hebrew. For fear cannot coexist with the light of mature agapé, as knowledge of Word teaches along with knowledge of yirah. In the process, we learn the all-important difference between limited and unlimited agapé stronger than death.
Political perception under unlimited agapé strengthens the sentiment of democracy2 and redefines all of us as spiritual citizens.3 With true democratic perception, we can transparentize the political opacity in our eyes by envisioning Name in Word permeating it in us as spiritual citizens. Otherwise, we are left to wrestle Name politically through the names of agapé “behind the opaque”. These are the ones whom we fear because we have not forgiven them unconditionally and cannot give Name all our agapé light through, unlimited agapé light stronger than death.
In the process of giving Name all our agapé, we give it through the permeations of His soul, and thus we work from soul to envision Word and transform the symbolic in our perception into the infinite living images of democracy. The principle is key in this and having the agency to use it on both spiritual and physical levels, explained in The Practical Guide.
Knowledge of spiritual transparency, blind areas, and working from soul to envision is all held together by the principle. We will focus on this to envision the following categories of meta-symbols.

The meta-symbols in category one are: two manifestations of Name in Word, the pan-diamond room, direct participation in living democracy, and formation of double light-folds.
Category
In the same permeational position and level, the rounded cube in the upper part of the diagram and the one in the lower part permeate each other completely. This holds together all other symbols doing the same on their permeational levels in the same position.
If you felt a peaceful response when envisioning these two permeating each other completely, you are on the right track. If not, be patient. The permeation of agapé light sees right through the jasper light of the duality name with the doors of our house, explained in the Introduction of The Spiritual Story of Democracy, revealing the dual vision of peace, explained at the end of Chapter Three.
In both top and bottom diagram positions, the rounded cubes symbolize Name’s agapé light and the exquisite light-fold between Name and Word. They also symbolize the pan-diamond room in the story, as do the three diamond shapes in front of the rose and those behind the tiny human figure in both of the bottom rectangular cubes. On another level, these shapes in front of the rose and behind the figures symbolize the three types and durations of appearances in the foyer, the oval sphere below the rose.
Since the lower rounded cube is within the human outline, symbolizing our individual realty, this is how we participate directly in living democracy on all three levels of our perception: the executive, judicial and legislative. We bypass the family, national and leadership cubes on both sides while simultaneously participating in them permeationally and pandirectionally.
The square inside both rounded cubes symbolizes the exquisite light-fold between Name and Word joined in double light-folds with all our light-folds, symbolized individually by the squares in the upper cubes and collectively by the squares in the middle cubes. This includes joining up with instrumental relationships individually and collectively.
Remember, there is no darkness in Name anywhere, so any fear of forming all of this is evidence of the belief in darkness. As the belief is exposed and done away with, the light of agapé appears in greater permeational depth, for it cannot coexist with fear; see Knowledge of Yirah.

The meta-symbols in category two are: the giving and receiving of Name’s agapé light through Word, particularly through democracy, and the all-knowingness of everyone’s uniquely-engraved personhood of Name.
Category
The top ray of light coming out of both sides of the top rounded cube symbolizes Name giving all of us all its agapé, particularly through democracy. Each ray is tipped with a circlized star inside the cube on each side, symbolizing the all-knowingness of Name’s personhood engraved into our being.4
The bottom two rays, criss-crossing the rest of the diagram, symbolize us permeationally retracing Name’s agapé and giving Him all our agapé, sometimes expressed in spiritual prayer. Both ways, these rays form a double light-fold through which we give and receive Name’s agapé simultaneously through each other in Word’s singularity. The short rays in the same position of the bottom rounded cube represent the same from our position.
Key to all of the diagram, this activity is the infrastructure of Name’s agapé light, the super-reality of their exquisite light-fold joined to our light-folds as uniquely-engraved names in the singularity of Word. It is why everyone’s human-language conversations of living democracy are unique expressions of agapé in everyone else. Everything we each say about life is unique, seeing that everyone’s engraved personhood of Name is unique.

The meta-symbols in category three are: presenting yourself and your light-folds to Name and the orchestrated permeational waves of all light-folds in Name’s pan-diamond room.
Category
The two cubes on both sides of the upper rounded cube represent not only the two American political names of agapé light, Democrat and Republican in leadership positions, but any two individual agapé names in a light-fold, with the square in each cube, as mentioned, symbolizing them joined in double light-folds. This includes any two agapé world-names in a light-fold, such as Jew and Muslim, and their two nation-names, starting with Israeli and Palestinian in The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
In recognizing our relationships as light-folds, we are able to present ourselves in them to Name as alive from the duality name and our relationships as instruments of righteousness to Name’s agapé in Word.
The curtain of stars behind the upper cubes and rounded cube, appearing again on the bottom under our human form, symbolizes the orchestrated permeational waves of all single and double light-folds in Name’s pan-diamond room, God’s or Life’s. The waves are forms of the visual pattern of all agapé names of light.
If you are having trouble forming or envisioning any of these symbols permeating each other, you are not using Word’s agapé light. You are using the symbols opaquely, which means you are not making who they represent more important than yourself and your own light is eclipsing theirs.
Use the principle and form them transparently to the point of making them nearly invisible until, with the exquisite light-fold of your suneidesis, you can hold their full brightness permeating yours without being against your own light. This is spiritual transparency.

The meta-symbols in category four are: transitioning between our inner and outer pandirectional eyes, which facilitates our being perfected/matured into one with Name and Word doing the same.
Category
The square within each of the two upper cubes, besides symbolizing our light-folds joined to their exquisite light-fold, symbolizes the inner vision of our suneidesis. Knowledge of Word states that we are “full of eyes [pandirectionally] around and within.”
Transitioning between them is represented by the partial blue sphere on one side of each square coming out the other side and projecting the pearl above each of the middle cubes. Transitioning facilitates our being perfected/matured into one with Name and Word doing the same.
The pearl symbolizes not only political ideas but our journey into the universe, as the lower pearl in each of the family lower cubes symbolizes our being embodied in the universe. The transition from inner and outer vision works within our light-folds and also between our light-folds and the universe and again between our light-folds and our physical body.

The meta-symbols in category five are: the massive scale of double light-folds in our spiritual bodies, the transitioning of our inner and outer vision in them, and the completed transitions in past and present living democracy stories about Name’s agapé light in Word.
Category
The outline of a head around each middle cube, where the upper pearl is received, symbolizes our spiritual body. The pan-symmetrical shape of the middle cube within our body represents the permeational intersection of our multi-pandimensions, that is, the massive number of double light-folds joined in every political, national and world-name of agapé light. It symbolizes our spiritual body’s diverse participation in all of Word’s singularity of bodily light.
In The Spiritual Story of Democracy, our spiritual bodies participate to such depths through the structural drama of our house of knowledge. They move in the orchestrated permeational waves with agapé double light-folds engaged in world democracy stories, all linked throughout the entire City of Name’s Agapé Light.
Besides symbolizing our light-folds joining with others and forming double light-folds on this massive scale, the two squares within each middle cube symbolize our inner and outer pandirectional vision transitioning throughout the city. The two blue spheres within them symbolize completed transitions in the past and present.

The meta-symbols in category six are: four pandirectional permeations in Word’s agapé timeframe, the ensphered jasper rose inside and outside of the Now of Word.
Category
The large frame in the middle, showing part of the two spiritual bodies through it, symbolizes the Now of Word serving as the true timeframe of agapé light. The frame within it represents distorted perception of the Now of Word by those confined to the duality name. Assigning a symbol for the duality name itself would give opacity value in our perception, thoughts, and language. In truth, opacity in spirit is where appearances are used to wrestle Name.
For those confined to the duality name, the jasper shades of the ensphered rose represent Word allowing their perception of him to be distorted. The boxed stars at the four corners of the inner frame represent the wrestling ring their distortion of Word creates in their perception, particularly in democracy. Here, the word-symbol evil twists the appearances we form of others in Word into fighting matches with Name.
For those not confined but living in the agapé timeframe of the Now of Word, the four boxed stars symbolize the four pandirectional permeations, displaying the magnitude of living light greater than all the universe many times over, that is, everything symbolized in the diagram. And also for those living in the agapé timeframe of Word’s light, the ensphered jasper rose is seen reflecting all the conscientious beauty behind appearances.

The meta-symbols in category seven are: the image of the universe holding the ensphered jasper rose, the three key genesis members and their permeating perception, and all genesis light-folds manifesting the universe within them.
Category
See the oval sphere below the ensphered jasper rose not as in front of the agapé timeframe of the Now of Word as it is shown in the diagram, but within the timeframe, as you should form all symbols permeationally from now on to unify our meta-symbols.
The oval represents the image of the universe, which, in the story, exists in the foyer of our house of knowledge, knowledge focused on democracy on earth. Before our physical body ever takes its first breath of the Spirit of life at birth, the universe receives our spirit through the ensphered rose of appearances within it, represented by the river of stars reaching into the rose within the universe, not as the rose appears outside it and much larger in the diagram.
The ring of light around the universe represents the circular timeframe of appearances, while the three rings below it represent the generational cycles of the three key genesis personages, then future models of spiritual citizens, introduced in The Spiritual Drama of Democracy.
The rest of the genesis vision in our suneidesis is symbolized by the colored stars on three sides of the rounded cube within the human outline. This is also to be envisioned within not outside the timeframe of the Now of Word, manifesting the universe within it and permeating its darkness to the pupil with Name’s agapé light. These colored stars are permeationally in our spiritual body, the part representing our neck next to the lower boxed stars.
Few of our genesis members had or have principle-based perception, none of us at birth, just as every democracy must develop its own collective perception in the fulfillment of the times of the nations.

The meta-symbols in category eight are: seeing and spiritually experiencing our physical body next to all the meta-symbols in Word’s agapé timeframe and seeing and spiritually experiencing the blindest part of our singularity in Word.
Category
Seeing the human outline, representing our physical body, in Word’s agapé timeframe of everything is of utmost spiritual importance. For we are not to veil ourselves from our own human form but to experience it spiritually in the timeframe, especially when fasting spiritually for others in and outside of our democracy.
Within the timeframe and seen in relation to our spiritual body and its pandirectional permeations, the physical body should never be seen as being able to experience permeationally or pandirectionally. But with the mind of our spirit focused on spirit, we have such spiritual perception of our own and others’ bodily appearances in Word’s agapé timeframe and can envision the conscientious beauty behind them.
Knowing that the body itself is not spirit, consider how Word permeates our spiritual experience of its joints and marrow, working from our spiritual bodily perception. Word permeates to these deepest parts of our spiritual experience without focusing on any other parts, like the brain or any other organ, nor should we. For a body’s joints control most of its movement, even on the minute level of the two main joints in each ear. This frees our spiritual body to move individually and collectively in and from Name’s soul with the singularity of our living democracy in Word’s agapé timeframe of everything.
But when we focus our spiritual mind on physical surfaces, limiting perception to our physical eyes and this diagram to its surfaces, instead of encompassing them both spiritually, we are forced to work from soulish body in the ensphered jasper rose of the duality name. However, in the supersession, this part of our singularity is just as radiant and even used as gates at our joints into the rest of it.

The meta-symbols in category nine are: inner and outer appearances in our light-folds in Word’s timeframe of agapé light, offspring and progenitor with democratic suneidesis in the pan-diamond room, and the river of transformation.
Category
With its inner corners designated in Word’s timeframe of agapé light, the rectangular cube to the left of our physical body represents our spiritual experience of inner surface appearances in living democracy. This symbolizes our beliefs and moral/ethical surfaces working to block or enhance — with the conscientious beauty behind them — the family, political, national and worldview levels of our double light-folds giving and receiving Name’s agapé light in Word.
The cube to the right of our physical body, without any display of inner corners in Word’s timeframe of agapé light, represents our spiritual experience of outer surface appearances in living democracy. This symbolizes our physical actions and words working to block or likewise enhance the same levels of our double light-folds.
The tiny human figure at the center of each cube represents our position as family offspring, with one of the two heads at the bottom of each cube representing our position as family progenitor. Both heads have their own rounded cube, representing our capacity to guide offspring to the agapé timeframe within them and in which they live, move and exist, as knowledge of Word explains our presence as names of agapé light in Name, for we also are His offspring, without progenerating offspring ourselves.
The diamond shapes behind the offspring, representing our position in the pan-diamond room through appearances, is at work even while we are children. The three strong lights around the diamond shapes represent child-to-adult suneidesis, dream suneidesis and the innate, eternal and agapé spiritual suneidesis to which the first two are subordinate.
In this subordination, we awaken to the ideas of justice, compassion, education and economics birthed with us in our genesis suneidesis. We stay awake depending on whether we cross over the river of transformation and become parents ourselves or non-progenerating adults who use the inner and outer appearances of our human form spiritually in Word’s timeframe of agapé light in Name.

The meta-symbols in category ten are: the pan-home of world democracy in us, light-fold relationships formed and unformed, communicating meta-symbols, experiencing the universe spiritually, and our El-elohe-names.

Represented by the human outline between the lower cubes, our body is The Temple of Spirit. And housing it permeationally in non-permeation within ourselves, we ourselves are The Living Temple of Name, housing it permeationally in permeations within ourselves as it houses us likewise. Thus, individually and conjoined, we temple Word’s Seeing Timeframe of Name’s Agapé Names with inner and outer genesis vision. Therefore, in both physical and spiritual form, we pan-home living world democracy on the earth in our transparent world suneidesis, hosting Name’s eternities of Word’s eternities in human form.
Panhere, our individual relationships with Name and Word exist through our personal agapé names, Word’s uniquely-engraved personhood of Name bestowed upon each of us. Our collective relationships with Name and Word exist through the family, political, national and world levels of our personal agapé names by Word bestowing upon us together a uniquely-engraved personhood of Name for each level. Therefore, our engraved agapé names work together in our double light-folds giving and receiving Name’s agapé in Word’s singularity, moving in what all the meta-symbols unified symbolize — both formed in Word’s agapé timeframe and unformed in Name’s eternal omniscience.
Panhere at the pan-peripheral of the magnitude of living light greater than all the universe many times over, our spiritual souls work in and from Name’s Spiritual Soul, feeding world democracy word-symbols and image-symbols that we communicate through the physical to discover and communicate the meta-symbols of life. At the pancenter of this, the universe sits within but is not of Name, though experienced spiritually by Him. And at the pancenter of this, we sit within and are of Name, and through Word’s political singularity of uniquely-engraved personhoods of Name, we know them both spiritually in our El-elohe-names. For Name is our elohim; Name is One.
In this, all our relationships are perfected/matured into one.

Perfected Into One
Once we form the symbols in this diagram and envision them with the agapé light of our hearts, their manifestation is beyond description, but its value can still be epitomized in simple, beautiful words.
“I (Word) purify myself for them that they also may be purified in truth, but not for these only do I ask (that Name keep them from the evil [of spiritual blindness]), but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as You, Father, [Name (are)] in me, and I [am] in You, that they also may be in us.
“And the glory which You have given me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as we [are] one. I in them, and You in me, that they may be perfected (also matured) into one, that the world may know that You did send me and did love them just as You did love me.” (John 17:19-23)
Our perfected oneness exists in our permeating oneness being in the permeating oneness between Name and Word, with Word in but not part of our oneness and Name in Word. The outer oneness consists of equal permeation between them, as is the middle oneness between us, while the inner oneness consists of Name permeating Word but not the other way around, signifying Name as the source, for Name is our Elohim; Name is One. Use this knowledge to envision the permeational levels of the meta-symbols.
Without being purified in truth through Word and the glory that Name gave Word being given to us, we could not even bear the thought of permeating each other’s names of light in oneness — because of our blindness in the duality name.
However, with this truth and glory, we can not only bear it but can love the least among us, instead of judging them away to blind ourselves. And that kind of agapé comes from Name loving Word and us likewise, which is made known to the world by our being perfected into one.
Name wants the world to know of our oneness because everyone’s life is Word and thus everyone is part of the singularity in Word, our oneness. Therefore, everyone is already perfected into one in the supersession. Yet, the world in this context refers to those of us who do not believe, a belief demonstrated by the followers he was talking about, who kept his word, which means they loved their enemies.
That does not exclude those who believe by faith and will mature to love their enemies because they are on the path of truth, nor does it exclude those who do not believe in him but love their enemies or are on the path of truth to do so. It excludes anyone who does not love their enemies or is not on the path of truth to do so, the part of the world that is at enmity with Name, the enemies we love with the agapé of Name in Word. For they are all present in Word’s supersession of their agapé names of light.
The path of truth purifies us to use the glory of Name in Word and in us to give Name all our agapé through each other in Word’s singularity, especially those of the world.
Necessary Blindness to the Oneness between Mind and Suneidesis
When just not ready for such agapé relationships, use the diagram to understand meta-symbols without envisioning them. Being freed from the duality name to envision Name’s agapé light in Word is a step-by-step process since we are all so accustomed to blinding ourselves again and again.
To understand the role we play in becoming blind, consider the knowledge of Word that teaches that the mind and suneidesis are one. Referring to us when blind, it states: “Both their mind (nous) and suneidesis is5 defiled.”
The reasoning behind this is that when choosing to do something without agapé or out of limited agapé,6 we limit our awareness of the unlimited agapé working in the democracy of Word’s singularity in our suneidesis. This simultaneously limits our mind’s ability to reason in Word’s singularity, specifically with our nous mental function. This makes understanding living democracy impossible as a living symbol in our spiritual mind.
Together, defiling our mind and suneidesis as one, it blinds our suneidesis to being in the presence of everyone in our democratic singularity, restricts our mind from specifically understanding agapé names of light in our democratic singularity, and allows the duality name to subjugate us to blindness.
Without this though — we would never be able to carry out such actions against others. In other words, our seeing suneidesis does not allow us to do anything against anyone, since it sees everyone in the supersession, giving Name all our agapé through each other in Word’s singularity. Without the ability to blind ourselves, we would never be able to carry out our free will to choose and disrespect others in our democracy.
Likewise, without the freedom to choose to learn how to see again, we would not be able to change our mind and thus recognize the freedom of will in democracy.
Blindness is thus a necessary enemy that we become to ourselves — if we choose to carry out choices that go against our co-conscientious nature personally and democratically. However, it results in addiction to blindness and that reduces our freedom to choose to do so, while compelling us to do so if we choose to stop.
While we are blind and addicted though, helpless in this state, the kindness of Name leads us to our singularity in Word, who, without compelling us, provides us with opportunities to change our mind and thus the state of our suneidesis in their oneness. If you love having the will to choose, it is time to understand the light in The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
The Three Levels of Our Existence
The Hebrew word shachaqim (sha-kha’-keem) is usually translated sky, clouds or heaven, but it is none of these. Although its root meaning is ‘particles’, its usage is extraordinary and cannot be translated in English. Even in Greek, in the Book of the Revelation, John mysteriously symbolized the shachaqim as the sea of glass mingled with fire, between heaven and earth.
Name created all three levels of our existence to work together and bring forth the righteousness of the principle, so that we can be saved from the spiritual blindness of our doing and that the agapé light of righteousness may grow between us.
“Rain O heavens from above and let the shachaqim shower righteousness. Let the earth open and let salvation spring up and let righteousness grow. I, the Lord (Name), created it together.” Isaiah 45:8
“He (Name) commanded the shachaqim from above and the doors of heaven opened.” (Psalm 78:23)
“And now (people) do not see the bright light which [manifests] in the shachaqim, but Spirit crosses over and cleanses them [so that we can envision and see Name in Word].” (Job 37:21)
“We would have healed Babylon (chaos in Hebrew) [every nation deep in spiritual blindness], but she cannot be healed. Leave her and let us go, each one to his own earth [referring to one spiritually experiencing life through their physical body]. For His wisdom [Name’s] reaches to the heavens and is lifted unto the shachaqim.” (Jeremiah 51:9)
Since this was said about Babylon, the world has received the knowledge of Word, giving us hope that enough of us will choose to follow it.

The Spiritual Story of Democracy
The Eyes of Democracy (Introduction and Index of Articles)
Elohim is Hebrew for God, but it has a dual meaning, God the divine and gods as in sons of God. The distinction clearly uses elohim as gods in the sense of image, “made in the image of God (Elohim)”. Our image is one of reflection not source, in other words, we are elohim without any power whatsoever of our own. The Greek word for gods, from theos, carries the philosophical notion that we have some power of our own beyond what Elohim gives and takes away when we misuse it. Thus, since English carries this notion, elohim should never be translated gods, but just left untranslated.
Atheists can appreciate this by seeing the grand scheme of Life giving us life and taking it away, along with other qualities depending on how we use them. Life as a system is source, not its lives. Elohim can be used religiously or not. Spirituality takes into account both usages of this knowledge in its own field, independent of scientific knowledge.
Name (God or Life depending on our beliefs) oversees us in a democratic rule over ourselves, as the passage quoted in the main text indicates. For elohim does not refer only to leaders in this passage, since in 82:6, Name says, “I said, ‘You [are] elohim and sons of the Most High, all of you.’” Some interpret elohim to mean judges, but we are all in the image of Name, obviously. Elected or chosen elohim are just that, elected by all of us elohim or chosen by a few of us. The democracy that Word laid the path for treats all of us equally under the law but based on love for our neighbor not just tolerance.
Democracy is not to be based on religion, for it is self-rule based on the principle of respecting each other’s religious and nonreligious choices within laws for our overall well-being. Spirituality is the arm of knowledge developed by the mind of our heart, and science is the arm of knowledge developed by our mind alone, for our bodies and all else that exists physically in the universe. Therefore, democracy being the heart of the people is held together first by spiritual knowledge.
Democracy is about people who care for each other enough to want to keep it for their collective well-being, together unknowingly growing in unconditional love, agapé. Democracy without agapé or the hope of it is an imaginary world in our minds, making our democracy in the world vulnerable to the whims of anyone who would tear down our conditional love and thus tear our democracy of tolerance apart before it can mature.
Democracy in its original Greek form literally means “rule by the people”. But when we the people rule by destroying some of the people, we become an autocracy, which means “ruling by oneself”. We cannot say we just need to destroy the people who are ruling by themselves and still say we are a democracy. Either we rule to save all the people or we too are an autocracy by a different name.
Who’s destroying who? Hatred for a fellow human is murder in our hearts. Democracy lives in our hearts.
We need to redefine citizenship by understanding the spiritual citizen, which, for one, requires the forgiveness in the agapé of spirituality. We are afraid to face things about ourselves when we do not understand the truth of unconditional forgiveness. If I forgive others unconditionally, I have it for myself and others who do not forgive me unconditionally. But we always make conditions to forgive others when we really do not trust that they will not do it again. It is flawed reasoning.
Forgiving others unconditionally will not stop them from making the same mistake until they start forgiving others unconditionally themselves and gain the inner power to change. We should never make conditions before we forgive since that will also prevent them from receiving the support they need from us to start forgiving others unconditionally.
It is not about trusting them. This is strictly forgiveness working in our hearts first. In fact, we do not even need to tell them we forgive them unconditionally if it is unwise. What is does for us is give us our free will back to decide if we want to continue in the same behavior. It frees us from the lie that people cannot change or that they should be so ashamed of their past that nothing can help them change, so they hide, until we all hide from the blindest among us who judge as though they do not need unconditional forgiveness. That is the world of conditional forgiveness.
The only fact that society needs to face is that we can free ourselves collectively when we stop judging the worst among us and forgive them unconditionally. Yes, of course, laws must be followed, but in our hearts there is a different law that reveals spiritual blindness in the world. It states that in order to regain our spiritual sight, we need to first forgive others unconditionally by understanding that they are blind too and do not know what they are doing.
If we each do not start with ourselves, we remain a blind society.
There is a common assumption that compensation must be made before forgiveness is given, and this has grounds in the world, but when it takes hold in our heart, keeping us from forgiving from the heart until compensated, we chain our hearts to the expectation of something that may never come.
Another common assumption concerns things that cannot be compensated for, such as a life, childhood or sanctity of one’s body. This too has grounds in the world, but only when we do not see that our true being is spirit. Recognizing ourselves as spiritual beings, we know that the body is but a shell. Nothing done to the body can damage our true being, but if we believe it can, we blind ourselves.
Whether we are attached to possessions or just the body itself, unconditional forgiveness frees us from both.
Consider our national sense of possessing America and its democracy. Whether we demand compensation for possessions or lives lost before we forgive unconditionally in our hearts, we are only blinding ourselves to the spiritual essence of America. The flag is a spiritual symbol.
When we forgive unconditionally, we set our hearts on the right path, arms locked in unconditional love for all, ready to envision Name in Word.
Word is “the brightness of His [Name’s] glory and the engraver of His [Name’s] person” into our being, for Word is the Second Adam, the spiritual mold of personhood for all of us.
The usage of is is not a grammatical mistake, as treated in English translations that read — “Both their mind (nous) and suneidesis are defiled.” Greek manuscripts clearly use the singular form of the verb not the plural to point to their oneness.
The nature of unconditional love cannot be limited, but the number of people using it can, through the different appearances that bind us in groups and confine our awareness of Name’s agapé for those outside them.
To be honest, I've skimmed through this, but I want to read this more carefully when I have a few more moments.
This, and your previous post, puts the finger on a completely new concept that I haven't thought of before, and that I think has escaped most people - the idea of democracy as civic reverence for a shared space, one that has room for differences in culture, in religion, and in social structures, but recognizes limits. At the same time, it strives to maximize as much as possible within those limits, to make the space exponential in possibility, not in dimension. We tend to think of bigger being better - yet it doesn't seem to be an accident that some of the healthiest societies tend to be in smaller countries without territorial ambition or overt greed. It's the hunger for more and more where the restlessness comes in - and a truly robust democracy does not need this.
You've touched on something that is profound, and I'm looking forward to time to delve into this more.
