SingleToHisGlory wrote on Mon, 11 March 2013 22:14Seeker, your interpretation of the personage of the HG makes sense, especially if we take free agency into account. So, if the HG is our spirit and is our subconscious mind, then what is our conscious mind? Or could it be that a HG is an intelligence, which is endowed with a spirit when it is born/organized in a spirit world, and which later receives a body when it is born in a physical world? In that case, is a subconscious mind an intelligence while a conscious mind is a spirit in its fallen/veiled state? Also, what is the Light of Christ?
As I understand it, everything is made of light or energy or Intelligence. The Light of Christ or Light of Love refers to the "All God" or "Universal/Ultimate God" which is the first God or Truth. We become Gods by aligning our selves with the Light of Christ which is the light of Truth. If God our Father were to leave His alignment with the Light of Truth, for example by lying, then He would cease to be a God.
Intelligence is part of the Light of Christ or "All God". Our intelligence/God was organized into a spirit body. The spirit body eventually became "One" with the Light of Christ or Intelligence assigned to it. Now, there is no difference between them as they do not fight each other and are united in will, purpose and understanding. When communication between the spirit body and the intelligence is perfected, the spirit Body gains access to all the powers and abilities of an intelligence and the intelligence gains access to all the powers and abilities of a Spirit body. This makes the Spirit a God and the God a spirit.
But neither a spirit nor an intelligence has the ability to interact with and experience the physical world like a body does. So, they take on Flesh. Now, we are part spirit body and part intelligence. But we are very much stuck in the physical world.
When the union between spirit and body become more perfected, we will gain all the powers and abilities of both our intelligence and our spirits. For example, we learn to see with our spiritual eyes and our physical eyes, both and at the same time. We learn to access the powers of our spirits and our intelligences and they learn to access the powers of the physical body until all three become "One" and cannot be distinguished as separate. Then we move on to the next...
Quote:Intelligence has several meanings, three of which are: (1) It is the light of truth which gives life and light to all things in the universe. It has always existed. (2) The word intelligences may also refer to spirit children of God. (3) The scriptures also may speak of intelligence as referring to the spirit element that existed before we were begotten as spirit children. - The Guide to the Scriptures - Intelligence
That is a high level overview, not sure if it makes sense.
