Saving the Spiritual Story of Our Democracy
The Basis of Reality is in Our Perception.
This article is listed as Discussion 3 in the Index of Articles of this series.
Next in our journey, we seek to learn how our house of knowledge can save our democracy. With the oneness of our heart, the reflective/nonreflective nature of our singularity sound, we are ready to understand the workings of the political parties in our national conscience (suneidesis)1 and, with this, save our perception of Word in the spiritual story of our democracy. For spiritual perception is everything. As her beauty launched a thousand ships, Word’s beauty saves a thousand worlds.
The Prologue of The Spiritual Story of Democracy reads: 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.
The Setting of the Spiritual Story of Democracy
First of all, as explained in About Spiritual Stories, such stories are neither fiction nor nonfiction, for their essence is wholly different. Spiritual story settings work in multidimensional light-permeations according to the Now of Word. According to earthly stories, imagine three beams of light permeating each other in the single dimension they exist. We see them in the same time-experience or space-time, even when, let’s say, one of them is conveying a memory and another imagining the future. For the past is past and the memory of it is light in the present remanifesting the past image, as light used to imagine the future is present light. Every image in our permeating beams must be in the linear sense of now, at least as we live our daily lives.
The Now of Word is how we live our lives in the house of knowledge, the now of our world suneidesis.2 It is without distinction of the past and present in our suneidesis, while Name and its memory distinguish them. Word allows for the time events of 2,000 years to be present within the spiritual events behind them in the nonlinear sense of Word’s spiritual now. Not the physical images, but the “heart memories” are all in our house of knowledge, according to Name’s pan-diamond room and foyer. To be more precise about the years, the nonlinear now covers forty-two generations.
The Genesis in the Now of Word
Knowledge of Word gives us the primary example of these forty-two generations, revealing them from Abraham to Jesus. It was not “the birth of Jesus Christ” recorded in Greek but literally “the genesis3 of Jesus Christ”, which is what was birthed in Mary’s womb, or spiritually interpreted, in her suneidesis. A genesis of forty-two generations was manifested in her, which occurred around the same time as the conception of Jesus’s physical body. For nonbelievers, this is Life birthing its own Time in us along with physical time.
The Now of Word manifested in her world suneidesis, her house of knowledge prepared to receive it in full, which includes each of the forty-two with their own genesis. Knowledge of Word depicts this as a day being as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day.
The Genesis Symbolized in the Diagram
The genesis generations in both realms of the Now of Word are symbolized in the diagram with the stars within the outline of the square around the rose. This square symbolizes the Now of Word, which, by not distinguishing past and present in the world suneidesis, does not distinguish the forty-two generations of the genesis according to linear time. Note that the world suneidesis is symbolized by the orange-speckled circle behind the rose, seen only partly above and below the square.
At the same time though, Name and its memory do distinguish the linear sequence of the forty-two generations, symbolized by the stars in the dark blue outline of the circle around the square, this circle symbolizing the world. The diamond within the rose symbolizes Name’s pan-diamond room, using the beauty, pleasures and desire symbolized by the rose in the Now of Word and time. The stars forming an octagon around the rose symbolize Name’s pan-diamonds in the houses of knowledge conjoined to ours, joining our geneses in our democracy.
For since we permeate each other as names of agapé light in the democracy- singularity of Word, we do so each with our own genesis. Knowledge of Word reveals that we each have a genesis in Word by stating that—anyone who is a hearer of the Word and not a doer is like a person observing the face of their genesis in a mirror [only for a moment]; for they consider themselves and then turn away, immediately forgetting what they were like. Having our own genesis is not like tracing one’s genealogy. It is a measure of eternity in our suneidesis revealed in the Now of Word.
As the two heads on both sides of the rose are each looking into the center of the diagram, symbolized as a mirror, each observing the face of their genesis, the bottom figure below is looking up. From one of the pandirections of the pan-diamond it sees from, it is looking at the center and sees the mirror, observing its genesis face and considering itself. Am I a doer of the principle or at least learning?
Seeing all the names of agapé light in our democracy along with their geneses faces in the Now of Word is seeing the beauty of Word that saves a thousand worlds. Consider that in order to permeate each other in such a oneness in the first place, Word revealed that he gave us the glory that Name gave to him that we may be one, just as they are one. This glory is the brightness of Name’s agapé face.
Perception of our Political Party-Names
All the events of our democracy work from the many names and their geneses in our spiritual story, permeating each other in the same absolute position of our house of knowledge. Saving the spiritual story of our democracy, therefore, depends on perceiving it in the full reflective/nonreflective nature of Word’s undivided singularity. That is, from the oneness of our heart in the pan-diamond room, we need to permeate the mis-workings of our political party-names of agapé light confined to the foyer.
We need to see where they are wrestling Name in their geneses (see The Practical Guide) and learn how to restore our perception of all their unresolved conflicts in the Now of Word (see the secondary boundary of the structural drama). Resolving them this way in our own perception empowers us to know how to resist their actions and how to spiritually fast for them.
The Images of Woman and Man in “The Spiritual Story of Our Democracy”
The protagonists in our story are bodily names of agapé light who have genesis perception to see the Now of Word in the world suneidesis. In The Spiritual Story of Democracy, this same group of bodily names has already conjoined as the house of knowledge. They host the conflict between Democrats, Republics and Independents in their house, who are all the antagonists.
However, on a secondary level of the story, the Democrats are the protagonists for those fighting for compassion even while, generally speaking, misusing the image of woman, while the Republicans are the protagonists for those fighting for Christian moral standards as they see them even while, generally speaking, misusing the image of man. Independents lean more toward the vision of Democrats.
None of them use the principle as it is clear they do not love each other as enemies of their national suneidesis, so in the main storyline, they are all antagonists. And yet, simultaneously in the supersession of the Now of Word, they all use the principle in Name’s pan-diamond room, where there is no opposition between any geneses in its permeational waves.
Likewise, the beginning, middle and end events of transformation are all happening at the same time. But they are experienced as such only by those choosing to break the cycle in the Four Movements of the Name’s World Orchestrated-Waves Symphony, part of Name’s luminosity dialogue between the eternities. These different paradigms serve as the paradigm-windows of our house of knowledge. See the Epilogue of The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
The Power of Word’s Story-Perception can save Our Democracy
Now it is one thing in the spiritual story not to resist blindness in our house of knowledge, as well as not to resist the actions of blindness blindly, and quite another to see others suffering at the hands of others. Having this knowledge though, we know where they bring more suffering upon themselves through the word-symbol evil in spiritual blindness and its symptoms in this world. And where neither they nor ourselves bring additional suffering, we have knowledge of the Genesis of Word to keep this lifetime in perspective in Name’s City of Agapé Light.
Perception of Word’s now in the singularity of our agapé names and geneses of light reveals the sublime beauty of our democracy in Name, which illuminates it throughout the world suneidesis. However, even when ready to do our part and stand in the midst of our nation’s spiritual blindness with agapé stronger than death, if our parties choose to fight this fight spiritually blind, not even the divine agapé of Name will take away their will and stop them. However, some of us are allowing the sublime beauty of our party-names in Word to shine through us and reflect in each other’s genesis faces of beauty in Name.

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.
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.
Genesis is a Greek word pronounced with a hard g sound as in go, not the j sound as the English word genesis, which means origin. Genesis in Greek is translated origin, birth, genealogy or creation, but all of these have their own Greek words. The context used shows it combines the persons of a genealogy and the time of generations, spiritually defined as “the breadth of names of light in the Now of Word”. For by saying “Before Abraham was, I am,” Word defined its sense of now in forty-two names of light starting with Abraham in its genesis, but having a past before that by saying “before Abraham”, but one that is still part of the eternal present, by including it in “I am”.
