  1. There is a stigma attached to any mental health issues. It is one that needs to be overcome. There is no shame in any of these variances in a spectrum behavior or the need to seek help for mental things in life. I have migrated to looking at it like my annual physical. Check up the body. Check up the mind. For very specific things I seek out targeted counseling. This usually runs in a 8 week cycle mostly because of insurance. I also did a therapy cycle leaving TWI. Over time I have learned about myself (not a diagnosis from MD) that I have a showing on the autism spectrum a little but not extreme. I have been depressed but am not clinically. I am on ADHD spectrum as well but no diagnosis or meds. That’s mostly it. So the spectrum showings for me are lower not extreme. I control them by becoming aware of my trigger points to avoid agitation and self care. Maybe that is also God telling me to use a little common sense and not to be too huge of a mystic. Or me figuring that out or whatever. Practical advice about living scripture.

  2. Quite an amazing section of Numbers. God descending in a cloud, a miracle involving diving up the spirit given to Moses and distributing it to 70 elders. This section is where Mormons get justification for their leadership quorum of 70 and the first presidency which is how they govern their church. They feel a group of old elected white men, 70 in number, today prophecy in the latter days for Jesus. Other groups have various interpretations of Numbers 11. You here are simply cut and pasting it as an offering of proof that spirit can only talk to spirit. You miss even the most basic logic. The 70 and Moses who had spirit upon them and were testifying WERE PROPHYlESYING TO PEOPLE WITHOUT THAT SPIRIT UPON THEM. Trying to explain it so there is some awakening of the brain and logic from a brainwashed sleepy state.

  4. Ahh! That's the absolute beauty of The Great Principle. "Spirit can only talk to spirit." Sooo... "God, who is spirit, talks to your spirit, which talks to your mind, which is not spirit, which...."...Hey, just a cotton-pickin' minute!

  5. From recollection the Christ in you is now your personal hs handcrafted so God can speak directly to you spiritually. But it only works to energize the manifestations. They teach Christs hands behind your hands eyes behind your eyes etc. part of your hs gift. It’s why so much emphasis on the SIT part. Yes I personally believe HS hs to be another inaccurate doctrine contrived to explain away VPs particular fundamentalist approach to gifts and manifestations. No I can’t explain more about it it all is a large cyclical logical hoax. To keep the mind of the hamster as occupied as the body is running on the wheel of weekly scheduled fellowship activities. I believe the truth of the Godhead to be different than VPs version I believe the Comforter to be real. However I don’t have a rote explanation for everything all worked out into a nice package yet. Maybe never will. Maybe part of that is working out my own salvation with respect and obedience. Being honest. Remembering more. The Great Principle. God who is Spirit teaches His creation in you which is now your spirit. Your spirit teaches your mind. Then it becomes manifest in the senses realm when you act. Thats the PFAL teaching. To me today that sounds like a recipe to develop a split personality. I’ve got my lo shanta personality. And I’ve got my regular personality. God energizes the Comforter who is Holy Spirit. He energizes and catalyzes the needed power. As part of the godhead. I pray, study, act virtuously. He supplies my need. In many different and wonderful ways. More than 9 ways. That could be an alternate understanding of whatever Bullshonta the GP is. I’m not teaching it like it’s my class just an idea of a different view. All I got now.

  6. Really? How does that work when what God was planning was a mystery that God kept to himself until Jesus Christ revealed it. 1 Corinthians 2:7,8 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

  9. Grammatical markers: A concept not widely understood by English speakers, yet oh so critical in some other languages. Just one reason why word studies and interlinear translations can result in pretzel logic. Thinking we could substitute this word for that word and arrive at a meaning. It can be all the difference between going TO the store and coming FROM the store. I think back on images of little kids putting on Mommy and Daddy's clothes and pretending to be grown-ups. That's what we were, kids pretending to understand the nuances of linguistics and translation. Lambano, laballo, ball, throw the ball, throw it out....Lo shanta.

  10. Thank you OldSkool, I am blessed by your words. I'm sitting here thinking about the feelings I've had over the past few days. I mentioned joy earlier. Another one is feeling alive (which makes sense because everything about God, Jesus and the Word is life giving). You know, when I go on my walks, I talk to God about the things I'm learning and sharing on GSC and these new, insightful and energizing ideas come into my mind . This has to be God talking to me and I love it . Alright, enough of this mushy talk, but it's just so intriguing. Take care, Darlene

  11. The heaviness I felt in my heart last week when I wanted to have every memory of my time in twi swallowed up by a dark hole someway in a galaxy far, far away has lifted. The beginning of a new spiritual relationship with God and Jesus feels more real to me now. Without twi telling me what I need do and think as a believer in their ministry, there's now the sense of a freedom and even joy. You know what It's like when you spend a long evening with a large group of people in your house and then once they all leave, you can finally get to be alone with the one (or ones) who mean the most in your life. It's like that. The Way has left the building! Still being active both on GSC and with reading Undertow, I can better handle references to the twi created with their practices and doctrine because I can now contrast them with what's happening in my life now. Thanks again for all your help and support.
