(companion subject 'Emmanuel About Him')

Why doesn't Christ come today or why didn't he come before, as the world has always been so bad? Why did He come in the first place

Christ's purpose was to bring people up and away from the negatives which have dogged their lives. The crown of thorns placed on Emmanuel's head and His words about why has my father in heaven forsaken me, echo to us today, who may feel as He did back then when negatives are overwhelming our lives:.Isaiah 52:14; Matthew 27:27-29,46

John 6:38 "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me." Luke 5:32 "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." 1Timothy 1:15 "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Emmanuel came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.".John 3:16-18; 10:10.

1John 3:8 "...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

John 18:37 "...To this end was I born and for this cause came I into the world..."

2Corinthians 4:10 "Because we always bore about in us the truth of what Emmanuel the Christ willingly died for, that His life also might be made manifest in our body."

Christ came to make it possible to know the Father, Creator of all in the multiverse, thus making us sons and daughters of the true God.(*)

But, the cloud, the vail.(2Corinthians 3:16).over all human heads has to be first removed, otherwise they won't see clearly spiritual things needed to know about for moving on into a life of health and prosperity and that for now and for eternity:.3John 1:2. Why would anyone want anything less?

Today, the evils are being eradicated. What evils and how? One of the reasons God came to Earth in the physical form of Emmanuel was to expose evil:.John 15:22. But for us to see what's gone on and going on, we need an awakening:.2Corinthians 3:16.

God is providing an opportunity for each of us to gain as high a position as is possible. How?.1John 4:9. Some just starting on the road to God will advance extremely quickly.(Matthew 19:30; 20:16; Mark 10:30,31; Luke 13:30), far surpassing others who are dawdlers, those slow to pray and meditate regularly, slow to study and just as slow to help where help is needed and they could easily and safely do so. So, it's a thing of attitude. How can you be sure to have a last attitude so that you'll be in the first category?.Isaiah 66:2.

What is Christ? Christ was all the intentions.(the words, the decisions and what was conceived from.the Silence; the Word is every aspect of the ultimate intelligent energy of the multiverse we call God, but what created God?).of His Father that He came to reveal:.John 6:38 "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me." John 18:37 "Pilate therefore said unto him, Are you a king then? Emmanuel answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth...."

The Word.(John 1:1-3).was this Intelligent Invisible Energy.(Revelation 4:9,10).which becomes what it thinks.(*). It thinks good outcomes, although to get you there for your highest benefit, you could have a bumpy road for awhile. depending upon how one grows in love or not. This Intelligent Invisible Energy was what Moses saw and heard from in the burning bush:.Exodus 3:2-4

This Intelligent Invisible Energy.was the Old Testament visible being called Melchisedec which became the Christ through the physical body of the one in the New Testament called Emmanuel. This Intelligent Invisible Energy became all good things we see and know of and all things good we don't see or know of yet:.Colossians 1:16,17; Ephesians 3:9; 1Peter 1:3

This includes the 'pockets' of Intelligent Invisible Energy that appeared and still do, as angels, which can take any form.(Numbers 22:21-35), even that of buildings and can be seen by anyone who that angel has opened their eyes to see, as in this reference here to Numbers. How does an angel do this? All is frequencies and individually, we often just don't see angels unless the angel wants to be seen.

This Word was the Silence, because these two are all one. Like all things created in the family of God, they are connected. Differences in things created, being intents of the great Infinite Intelligent Energy altering frequency functioning, thus producing what we see and know of, such as those in the family of God.

Within the Infinite Intelligent's Energy are the frequencies this Creator forms and maintains. This is the good God, often called the Lord of all and also called the Word and Christ and earlier, Melchisedec.and other things. It was the Word function of the Intelligent Energy which got everything going.(John 1:1-3; Ephesians 3:9; Hebrews 1:2,3), including us.

The Word is in perfect harmony with the Silence, the God or the Infinite Intelligent Energy, out of which this Word came:.2Corinthians 4:6 "...God.(as the Word)... commanded the light to shine out of darkness...to give.(to us).the light of the knowledge of the glory of God.(note that knowledge brings light {knowledge of what?} and the higher consciousness as contrived by the Father above or behind all, that is, the Father or Intelligent Invisible Energy also known as the Silence; it's all one, unity, cohesiveness)..."

John 1:1-5 "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.(what is this Word?). The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not."

The Word came out of the thought of the Silence and was revelator, the revealer of the Silence behind all, all meaning, including humanity and everything else in the universe seen or invisible.

Acts 13:23 "...God according to his promise raised.(and that's why you just don't seem to fit into what this satanically influenced world is like).(and that's why you just don't seem to fit into what this satanically influenced world is like).(original for 'raised' is 'caused to appear').unto Israel a Savior, Emmanuel."

The life of Emmanuel was a living witness of the truth of the Creator-Father, the.Silence:.John 18:37 "...to this end was I born and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice."

Those in darkness just can't see their purpose here. And as long as they don't see it, the world gets worse, so it was of necessity that one would come who didn't have the corruptible nature that man is so subject to, a nature He had to also be subject to by living on Earth as a man:.Hebrews 2:10; 4:15;.Acts 13:23 "...God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Savior, Emmanuel." Isaiah 59:15-17 "Yea, truth fails and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey and the Lord saw it and it displeased him that there was no judgment. And he saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor, therefore his arm brought salvation unto him and his righteousness, it sustained him. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate and an helmet of salvation upon his head and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloke."

It's the Creator Father that provides information/ideas, for without that there is no progress for humanity and no information in the invisible to sustain the cosmos:.John 17:26. But 'beyond' the physical is the silence. In this sincerity is the Creator we call God. Total silence is sincerity. 

It's a Christ consciousness.(what is that?).that enables us to have consciousness of the Father and also for the universe to have matter.(John 8:19; 15:15; John 1:3).because it was Christ who did the work. He did the work by using words. Words have power. They can get you into trouble.(1, 2).or allow you to create a better world.

The Word was made manifest.(John 1:1-5,10-14; Hebrews 1:2,3; 1John 1:1,2; Ephesians 3:9; Revelation 4:11).to be known by us.(John 20:31), which included abolishing death.(2Timothy 1:10), taking away the inequities of life that have made life so hard for many and, being filled with His fulness and this includes what we are to inherit as individual beings now functioning as fully spirit:.1Corinthians 13:12; 1John 2:20; *.

"Emmanuel came to announce love as a force in the cosmos."....Deepak Chopra..Matthew 22:36-39; 5:44.

The 'Word'.(John 1:1).is Christ consciousness in our hearts, which is the higher consciousness of the Father that Emmanuel came to reveal. The Word is a frequency function of God, the great Invisible Infinite Intelligent Energy, through which all is connected, but like all wires in a house, they may be connected, but through some there is no current because they need to be turned on by a switch. Those in the Old Testament just couldn't get turned on and got upset that they couldn't:.Deuteronomy 5:29; Jeremiah 44:16,17.

Words mean nothing until you know what is meant by them.

Emmanuel came to show it was possible to supersede the mass mind influence in our lives by entering into what the realm of God that He called the kingdom of God, thus.redeeming humanity.

This kingdom of God is beyond time and matter, but can be entered because this field is available within you.

The mass mind is that of theillusory world we all think is so real, the world detectable by our frequency sensors, the five senses, plus 1. All around you is an illusion, a holographic expression supported by an invisible pattern, a pattern where energy always proceeds according to how it was set to function and within this, our individual minds have some control.

So we have found this thing called pain and why pain? We have found the atom and what comprises it and what is below it, whci are the quarks and below them the baryons. What is further below where all levels are connected?

Energy, vibrations in the void was found to comprise atoms, but wait, it has been found that energy is temporary excitations in a field and that the field itself doesn't vibrate but maintains a flat constant zero point, the starting point from which everything in the multiverse springs and here we find the Infinite Intelligent Energy:.Revelation 4:9,10.."Matter and energy are constantly emerging and then vanishing back into the void. The zero point serves as the switching station between existence and nothingness."....Deepak Chopra

How the multiverse is held together is still unknown by physics. But physics.does.know about the invisible grid. The multiiverse forms complex systems, all designed by the one and only true God, such as DNA with its gaps and the system of memory to retain original patterns. Once a form has been created it has to be remembered to be maintained or recreated. For example, consider what happens when a cut or abrasion on your hand heals. And what about when one is ill?

Sensory experience tells us the Earth is flat and that the Earth is not moving. Sensory experience also tells us the planets are moving, but are they? Can you trust your senses? Our senses are there to provide information necessary to relate in the natural world.

Sensory experience tells us there are no light waves, microwaves, cell phone waves, TV signals, x-rays and sound waves in the air. We can't see them or touch them. We can only see their effects. You can't see memory or the place where imagination is. They are simply set to be a way they can function, set by the Infinite One who designed their potentialities and who designed possibilities of emergence from them and, it is thought, that causes things to emerge, to come from the unmanifest invisible into the visible physical. By knowledge of their effect we can negotiate ourselves in the world wherein we live. We call this 'life'.

The invisible being behind all things is shown by things in creation we can know about, once they are considered. Learn about creation.

Emmanuel wanted humanity to be enriched by means of enlightenment: Luke 10:22; 1Peter 1:8. Enlightenment is the good news He wanted His disciples to carry to the world. This means of enlightenment comes from the invisible, way below the atom.

It is in meditation where one can go into this invisible unified field:.1Corinthians 12:6. The invisible unified field is all about the invisible Creator's realm:.Colossians 1:15 "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.".The unified field is at basis of all in the universe. It is a field of intelligence, an abstract field as Henry Stapp Ph.D. American physicist, quantum mechanics, UCLA, Berkeley has explained. Type Henry Stapp into YouTube.com

When you realize that the Creator is absolutely in charge of all, there are no reasons to be concerned too much over the state of this present evil world's affairs:.Galatians 1:4 "Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us.(deliver us to where?).from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father."

From ICID.(International Center for Invincible Defense, invincibledefense.org).brochure:"Mastery over gravity demonstrates the capability of the fully developed human mind to function from the level of quantum gravity, the only level from which conventional, classical gravity can be controlled. The scale of quantum gravity is the Planck scale, the scale of Super Unification, where gravity unites with the other fundamental forces to become the Unified Field.(see chart, page 5 in the brochure). Here the ability to function at the level of quantum gravity implies the ability to function at the level of the Unified Field, the field of total Natural Law. Therefore, the growing mastery over gravity seen during Yogic Flying truly indicates growing mastery over all the laws of nature. It is from this most fundamental and powerful level of the Unified Field, the field of total Natural Law, that the practice of Yogic Flying enlivens indomitable.coherence in collective consciousness and invincibility in the nation."

It is only at the level of the unified field that gravity can be commanded. The human brain is such that it is able to resonate with the stillness of the unified field. You enter this stillness through meditation.

Only the human brain has the physiology, the ability of experiencing the unified field, by means of the reticular formation.

Humanity's chromosomes coiled into what has been named 'DNA' is like an aerial, constantly bringing in information from this invisible field which is the basis of all there is; all there is means all there is, including gravity, electromagnetism, rocks, lips, fingernails, iron, salt, tears, fabric, air, water, fire, nerves, hairs, concrete, etc.

Little by little, day by day, the Silence reveals its reality to you. When in meditation, each time the connection is fortified: Romans 6:10-14.

Each time in meditation more of the supply of spirit becomes you. Overall, about 20 minutes twice a day has been found to be around the best for spiritual growth through meditation and prayer. Deepak Chopra.generally does about 3 hours daily for what's called the spiritual disciplines of meditation, prayer and contemplation. These bring world peace and prosperity for all:.Luke 1:78,79 "Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

As in all things spiritual, there is uniqueness. Let your day and spiritual times work for you. This means to follow your intention for spiritual improvement.

Emmanuel came to show the way:.John 14:6 "Emmanuel said unto him I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes unto the Father but by me.".What is the way to come to the Father, to be as is the Father? Emmanuel said He was the way, so let's understand what Emmanuel is and what we need do to grow.(1Thessalonians 4:1).into the same consciousness. He was Creator on Earth in the physical form of man, but much more.

Emmanuel revealed a new pathway of independent thinking, a pathway of awareness, a pathway to the spiritual realm:.Matthew 11:27; Galatians 1:11-24.

He revealed the pathway of aligning thought with the energy of creation, the energy below the atom that is the same energy supporting all things. Emmanuel called it 'the way'. The way of what? The way being that of unity of Creator-Father and humanity.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ephesians 1:11:."Christ united the two differing parties, God and man, in his own person and satisfied for that wrong which caused the separation. He created, by his Spirit, those graces of faith and love, by which we are made one with God and among ourselves."

Through innerstanding this way, we become aware of what is the invisible world of spirit:.Colossians 1:15,16; 1Timothy 1:17. Way back when, Moses 'saw' the invisible one.

How? Moses' faith and ours too is based on 'seeing' the invisible:.Hebrews 11:27 "By faith...he endured, as seeing him who is invisible."

This energy is affected by attitude, interest, desire, attention and intention, either the ego low consciousness way or the higher consciousness way.

There is another world you can enter, a world below the atom. As Deepak Chopra explained and as quantum mechanics has shown, the universe shares all atoms. You can have a gold ring, a gold necklace and a gold watch, all having differing degrees of complication, yet all made with the same thing, gold.

So it is with the spirit. We are all individual expressions of the same underlying essence. His essence and ours are exactly the same.

The way of the multiverse is giving, sharing. All comes out of this vast pool of everything, which never gets depleted.

Emmanuel came so that we could share in the unity He had with the Father:.John 10:30; 17:22; Romans 12:4,5; 1Corinthians 3:7-9; 10:17; 12:12; 1John 5:7,8.  He came to show that we are to share in all He has.

Emmanuel describes why He came to Earth:.John 6:38 "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me." Luke 4:18-21 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book and he gave it again to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.".And Acts 3:26.

Christ came to free his followers back then, not only from the corruptions of the Pharisees.(Matthew 12:1,2), but from their unscriptural rules which justified what they did, which ways carry on today in different guises, putting people in psychological.prison.

Galatians 5:1 "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Romans 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Emmanuel has made me free from the law of sin and death."

He came to straighten out the heart, by revealing many heretofore unknown spiritual maxims.(using the subconscious), enabling us to be healed; to free us from all that binds.(1, 2).and to fill us with encouragement:.Hebrews 10:20-24 "By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.(through His physical body to the underlying Spirit); And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that promised. And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works."

He has unlimited power to do what God wants Him to do for us:.John 3:34; Colossians 1:19; Matthew 28:18. And this unlimited power is available for us to the extent our attitudes are filled with the love necessary to enable it to be safely used. 1, 2.

Luke 15:7 "I say unto you, that likewise joy is in heaven over one sinner that repents.(decides to change, as Derek did), more than over ninety and nine just individuals, which need no repentance." Luke 5:32 "I came not to call the righteous.(those who have their own form of righteousness, such as the ancient Pharisees of Emmanuel's time), but sinners to repentance."

Christ came in the flesh and form of a man.(Luke 1:35).to be King.(John 18:37).and was a savior.(Luke 2:11; John 4:42; Acts 13:39; 2Timothy 1:9; Romans 14:9; Hebrews 5:9), instituting the process of saving us so that we could have eternal life:.Ephesians 2:10.

Us, means all of us. The world is already saved. It just doesn't know that yet. The plan of humanity was set before there was even anything material around. Christ trained his disciples to reach out to others with the great message of salvation, that we've been saved in and from our sins, that is, sin no longer carries effect spiritually in our lives, though sin may still occur. Come to know what 'sin' means and come to know that if there is lack of knowledge of this way of salvation, that it can't then affect you life for good, because it's the knowledge that opens the heart to the higher consciousness ways of the Creator. That's why Christ wanted his disciples to 'go into all the world'.

A sinful person could not die for sin. Only a perfect man could be a sacrifice for sin:.Hebrews 10:12; Ephesians 2:4; John 3:16.

Emmanuel came to die, for humanity, so the pathway would be open to the Father for all:.John 7:7.

He is our brother, as well as the one who came to.save the world, the.savior of all humanity.(1Timothy 4:10), not the one to scare and to condemn people to hell. From the God Family, Christ, came to Earth in the physical form of Emmanuel.

He came to reveal the freedom that individuals are responsible for their actions and how they should handle this:.Romans 13:10.

This was a radical departure from the people looking to and being controlled by others, in this case, the Pharisees who held their interpretations of Old Testament laws.

He came also to set us free from both self and societal imposed limitations which inhibit full expression of spiritual capabilities. For example, Russia protects clairvoyants like Grigori Grabovoi who live there. Other nations regard them much less favorably, even disparagingly.

He came to make possible a relationship with the Father, for those He created.(Emmanuel before His physical human form:.Ephesians 3:9):.2Corinthians 5:18

Now it is possible to be part of the Family of the Creator:.Matthew 11:27 "All things are delivered unto me of my Father and no man knows the Son but the Father, neither knows any man the Father save.(except).the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him."

We are now in peace with the Father, sin no longer a factor:.John 1:17; Acts 10:36; Romans 5:21; 1Corinthians 1:4; Colossians 2:6.7; Ephesians 1:5.

-Christ came for the suffering of death and to taste death for every human being:.Hebrews 2:9. He willingly offered up Himself:.Hebrews 7:27. Effectively He was saying by His actions: 'Father, I will go down and die for them, so that nothing can ever again come between them and you'. He came to enable the unity comprising the Father, which unity was Christ and spiritually minded individuals of love:.2Corinthians 5:21. He came and died so you also could have a relationship with the Father:.John 14:6. What else did His dying do?

Christ in the physical is called Emmanuel and knew well the unity of all things in the Infinite Intelligence. Emmanuel referred to His Father:.John 5:30,31; 7:16-18; 7:28,29; 8:14,18,28,42; 10:18; 12:49,50; 14:10,11.

You are a creator in that you are a helper of the Creator when aligned with Him, then you have the guidance of God with you. This can be a helper of others. This is unity. The unity of everyone and everything is the Soul where everthing there is, is connected.."The light of life is created by your soul."....Grigori Grabovoi. 'Your soul'.(small 's').is the 'part' of the Soul.(capital 'S').that has connection with your spirit.

The Son of the Father is the One who became the Christ. Long before.(who knows when?).He became physical flesh in the form of the one we refer to as Emmanuel. It was decided that He would take upon Him all faults, all errors, all inconsistencies, all sins in the multiverse. Emmanuel died, not only for sin in one's life, not only for sin in all peoples lives, but for very sin itself. Sin is gone forever now as far as the Father is concerned, as far as the Father now looks at humanity, as far as the Father now looks upon you, me and everyone else who ever lived on Earth.

Christ now appears before the Father for us:.Hebrews 9:24. He exchanged all that is bad or could become bad in you, for all that has always been right with Him. In Creator-God's eyes we're now ok. This was the light of life He brought:.John 3:17,19-21.

Christ's sacrifice.(Ephesians 5:2; Hebrews 7:27; 9:26; 10:2).purged.sins once for all:.Hebrews 1:3, so that we can now be at one with the Father and Him. As a result, Christ is able to subdue all things to Himself:.Philippians 3:21; Romans 9:19.

He opened the way for us to enjoy this relationship with the Father.(Romans 5:10).and is the assurance of the New Testament:.Hebrews 7:22; 8:6; 9:11; 12:24.

He died on our.behalf.and that, willingly:.Hebrews 7:27; 2Corinthians 4:10; Matthew 26:53. It was not instead of us, as we could never have, by our death, atoned for sin by any kind of a perfectly righteous life apart from His sacrifice.(Isaiah 64:6).at all:.Romans 5:11."And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Emmanuel the Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement."

The word 'atonement' here means 'reconciliation' and means 'to exchange'; that is, His life for our death.(death here being separation from God, such separation is as a result of our living by the ego), so we can now live unto God:.Galatians 2:19,20; Philippians 1:21; 2Timothy 2:11; Hebrews 12:9; 1John 4:9; Romans 14:8.

Christ came so that we could be made the sons of God:.Galatians 4:4-7. While He was here, the way He lived His life, left us an overall example to follow.

Christ's purpose was to redeem.(means to buy back:.1Corinthians 6:20; 7:23).humanity, to bring us back into His realm of righteousness by redeeming us from all iniquity, caused by the nature we all were born with.(Titus 2:14, and ref #1 on 'redeemed').even though we still may have many faults.(1John 1:8; 1John 2:1), faults no longer important to us or God; no longer to us once we know the plan of life and of learning and no longer to Christ or the Father because Christ's death wiped them out of what's called the Akashic record so that the energies of them are now longl dissipated. 

Christ's sacrifice was just that great! Some call it the great exchange, but it was more of a gift.

By His sacrifice He exchanged the sins of all humanity for all time for the gift of righteousness to those who believe, that is, those who know God to be true.

He came here to die so that we could have the gift of righteousness.(Romans 5:17).enabling us to be in the Father's love forever, with all that means:.1Corinthians 2:9. That is what Emmanuel did! That is how much the Father loves.you.and all of us!.1Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, now being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed."

He did this by fulfilling.(original is 'completing'; note it was previously incomplete without His righteousness:.1Corinthians 13:10; Deuteronomy 5:29).the Old Testament Mosaic Law:.Matthew 5:17. The Mosaic Law was a law God designed and no one could keep it with the natures they were born with. It was supposed to be this way. Why?

Because Emmanuel kept the Mosaic Law.(Matthew 5:17,18), it was fulfilled and if Christ is in you, you've fulfilled it also, because Christ is in you. It doesn't have to be kept in part or in whole any longer. Christ finished the work.

He rose again and sits beside the Father and is most concerned with us right now:.2Corinthians 5:15; 1Thessalonians 4:14. He came to die and open the way for us.(John 10:17,18).to have a relationship with the Father, making us dead to sin.

-Christ came to reconcile the world, not accounting sins people may still have in their lives:.2Corinthians 5:19."To wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

And Him being made sin for us was so that we could now have a relationship with the Father:.2Corinthians 5:21.

-He came to bear witness of the light:.John 1:7; 10:25.
