The depths of singularity in agapé names

Next in our search for house knowledge, we need to understand the full depths of every name of light in the democracy of our world conscience (suneidesis).1 For such depths reveal our light-folds rising out of past unresolved stories. It is all part of saving the spiritual story of our democracy and forming new relationships that give us a better view of our role in Word as the bride of Name’s agapé light, also known as unconditional love and love in spirit.
The Role of Names in Envisioning
In the spiritual screenplay, we first envision each part of the story by using the rule-based boundaries of our structural drama. Then, as Word translates and interprets Name’s vision of it for us, as the diermeneutes,2 according to the reality of the story in the Now of Word, it gets triggered into a single permeating vision story, requiring patience and focus for us to manifest. Each part of the story consists of permeating double folds of light that are made up of and belong to us as names of agapé light in Name.
The light of Name manifests our names in both their formless state, which permeationally designates the house of knowledge, and in their bodily state, our spiritual bodies. Our role as names is to envision each other according to our will in the story. Before focusing on this in the reality of agapé light, rather than the illusion in piety light as covered in The Spiritual Drama of Democracy, adopt a spiritual name for yourself and learn the patterns of our agapé names.
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.4 We should adopt a name to identify with in the world suneidesis and, through this reality, use it to also identify with in the world—but share it with no one to avoid confusion.
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. A white stone symbolizes the light-folds of agapé names. Adopting a temporary one ourselves helps us learn how to envision each other as agapé names of light in our story folds. It is crucial in learning how to love those of us blind to them in their own unresolved story folds, holding onto blindness as the 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. Nation-names are our identity in this shared awareness, approximately 200 across the world in the Now of Word. Each nation-name manifests a unique national present and a unique historical consciousness in The Spiritual Story of Democracy. Nation-names envisioning each other according to their will is central to the spiritual story.
Blindness to this does not change Name’s decision to manifest us this way, as knowledge of Word puts it—so that we can seek to find it (Name) collectively even though it is not far from each of us in our blindness. In our world suneidesis, this is the nature of our singularity on its key nation-name level. The other main levels are personal, political, and world-names of agapé light.
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, creating a national past for us 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.
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 light.
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 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 through either of them by themselves. But that is the plan always attempted when making ourselves more important, creating unresolved stories.
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 their light-fold 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 their light-fold joined to the double light-fold between them all, 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. The deciding factor is whether we have chosen the principle. 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. Through political names in the spiritual story, when we do not use the principle, the politics of tolerance enslaves our personal, national and world-names to the illusion of the piety light. Simply put, we have no access to the world singularity of Word. Exercise the principle and add your adopted personal name to the following discussion.
In addition to our national identities in the world suneidesis, everyone partakes of the identity of their world-name in the world democracy light, knowingly or not and regardless of the type of government our nation uses on earth. We can put them into ten categories as the world-names of agapé light in Word’s world singularity. Five of them are worldviews from world religions: Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu. The other five work from atheistic worldviews of various degrees, with world-names of agapé light like 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 work across nation-name boundaries, as Muslims and Jews live in most 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.
The agapé light of Likud Jew Israeli, LJ Israeli, has permeational access to the light of Islam in Hamas Muslim Palestinian, HM Palestinian, and the singularity of all ten world-names through the 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 the 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 light of Islam in National-Front Muslim Iranian, NFM Iranian and the world singularity again through the world-name Muslim of Iranian 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 light of Christianity in Republican American Christian, RA Christian, and the world singularity again through the world-name Christian of American, 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 limited to such access through the illusion of Word’s piety light.
The Visual Pattern of Agapé Light in the Spiritual Screenplay
Now with our adopted spiritual names and an understanding of the visual pattern of agapé names, let’s focus on the reality of seeing agapé light in the spiritual screenplay and spiritual story itself.
Remember, to relate this to your daily lives, look beyond the appearances we form of each other to understand what is being expressed through our 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 light in the Constellation of Life, ultimately as el-elohe-names. This passage is taken from Chapter Four of The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Out of the clear-glass wombs of Name’s goodness, Israel and Palestine’s nation-names manifest anew and mirror themselves into transparent chrysoprase living faces for each other. It renders the effects that involuntary reactions have on their thoughts and joints completely useless. Through each other, they see the jasper hues of the Israeli and many 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 themselves into chrysoprase living faces for each other, c) free themselves from the effects of involuntary reactions, and d) see the jasper 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. 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.
In the delivery of these actions, the first boundary manifests us without form in the visual pattern of agapé names, somewhat like sound but visual, the second boundary with form in the formless, and the third with the pathways of Name’s agapé light radiating in and through us in the first two. Again, once we envision this in the symbolic form of the glass cube, Word translates and interprets Name’s vision of it for us, according to the reality of the story in the Now of Word. Then it gets triggered into a single permeating vision story, 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 light-fold names and access Word’s singularities to envision each other according to our will in the story. With our spiritual essence in Name and Word as story language, through these living actions, we profusely emanate each other’s iridescent story beauty in the pan-diamond room of our house of knowledge. Now we can use more descriptive words for the actions themselves. Envision every word to train your senses in the light of Word’s spiritual stories about Name.
The efflorescent light-fold between LJ Israeli and HM Palestinian is slowly rising out of the clear-glass wombs of Name’s diamond-room. The views from their pacific eyes of compassion display all of Word’s world and national singularities, illuminating them through each other’s chrysoprase living faces. Permeationally connected through the passions of Word’s political singularity, LJ Israeli and HM Palestinian’s light-fold begins to unveil the core thoughts of Name’s agapé light in it—folding and refolding Word’s 200 nation-names and 10 world-names in it according to the preferences the two of them show each other.
Joined next by the efflorescent light-fold between RA Christian and NFM Iranian, together they all spontaneously, but with simple ceremony, fill Name’s pan-diamond room — with the infinitely-faceted reflections of our story beauty as the agapé bride of Name’s light. For all to see in the City of Agapé Light, we are giving Name all our agapé through every form of Word here, retracing the sublimely-clear pathways of Name’s agapé light for us.
At the heart of this eternal affair of luminosity, their double light-fold is breathing Holy Spirit in its waves of orchestrated reason. LJ Israeli and HM Palestinian focus each other’s mind onto the chrysoprase transparent faces they mirrored themselves into for each other. This brings an immediate end to their involuntary reactions afflicting each other physically. Straightaway within their focus, Name’s multi-suspended, all-knowing chrysoprase manifests a brilliantly-seeing presence in their light-fold. Its fragrance embraces each of the agapé light-names in their singularities whose bodies were and are being killed at this timeless moment in the Now of Word.
Through the will of their spiritual understanding, they are envisioning each other respectfully this way in the Spiritual Story of Democracy. And by forgiving one another here before everyone, they see the power of Name’s Word raising up their crystalline bodies and suspending them in all the generational peace of this eternity, ending all violence between them and their children forever.
For in this ancestral story, they have been wrestling Name through each other endlessly, with no hope of ever seeing each other’s real faces, beautifully formed infinitely and infinitesimally by the Architect of Beauty. However, now from this paradigm window, we can see that they have changed their view of the story, from its blind piety light to the seeing agapé light of the names of Name.

Suneidesis, pronounced soon-eye-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 name for your transformation into seeing yourself as an agapé name of light in The Spiritual Story of Democracy.
Do not utter its physical form out loud. For that might cause you or someone else to identify it with you when the spiritual form of your name exists only in the world suneidesis. Verbalize your adopted name with your inner voice once in a while to improve your focus as light in the spiritual story. There is more specific usage of adopted names in later articles. For now, just pick a name you like for yourself.
Do not repeat it over and over, for learning how to love blind agapé names is not a training exercise. Our mind transforms to enable us to do this as it moves 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).
