Understanding the Eternal Plan of God

Understanding the Eternal Plan of God

“From the very beginning of creation (Genesis 1:1), it has always been God’s plan to reveal Himself to us. To God, the creation of the time dimension and us as His creation was all part of the process of His revelation. From us as His creation, we progress forwards in time (measured by movements on the physical earth and measured by events in the Spiritual World) and it seems as if the past creates the future. From God’s perspective it is always the future (the final plan He has framed) which determines all events and powerfully shapes the purpose and basis for everything of the past and present towards the completed future.

It is the future which affects the past and the present. This includes all intervention in the cause of events, past and present, where the free will of His creation tries to push it away from the predetermined path of the completed future plan of God. For this reason even from the inception of creation, God has ordained that the event of the Lamb of God, slain before the foundation of the world, as the central revelation of His love towards us (Revelations 13:8).”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
The Future changes the Past

“The future conceived in the mind brings about the desire to change the present using all the tools of the past. An architect conceives a design for a building. Once he completes the entire drawing and blueprint, the contractor uses the blueprint and constructs the physical building. Now if we acknowledge that what the architect conceived is a vision or perception of what he sees the future of the plot of land or old building site can be, then the future has created changes to the present.

From the Spiritual World perspective, every single idea or thought that has ever come to all humans arises first in the spiritual realm of thoughts. This realm of thoughts is heavily manipulated and activated by spirits from the Spiritual World in the struggle between light and darkness over the planet earth. From this pool of overall direction and confluence of thoughts, mature spirits can predict the future outcome even before they happen on the physical plane. As humans on earth pick up these thoughts, they become the instruments for bringing to pass on the physical plane that which is conceived in the spiritual realm. The whole spiritual battle is thus always in the thought realm (2 Corinthians 10:4-6).”

“Now as God retains control and supervision over all His creation to ensure that His plans and purposes are ultimately fulfilled, God releases His flow of thoughts and wisdom upon this realm of thoughts both directly and through His angels. He releases just sufficient so that it does not overpower the free will of His creation but it keeps the balance of forces in check so that the overall direction is always towards His eternal plan. These are the revelations of His works which He has prepared beforehand and finished before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 2:10; Hebrews 4:3).

Men and women, who are on earth and whose lives and nature are sensitive and predisposed to various types of thoughts, pick up these thoughts in their minds and when they finally receive comprehension of them in time, begin to act upon them thus bringing them to pass. In vision and conception, these thoughts are seen as completed (finished works) but as far as the physical world is concerned still something in the future time.

The reception of those thoughts which are from God result in living works and the reception of those which are from darkness result in dead works (Hebrews 4:10-12; 9:14). Words and thoughts from God produce a union with Him which results in a fruitful life (John 6:63; 15:1-8). Words and thoughts from darkness cause bondages (strongholds), trespasses and sin (Ephesians 2:1-3; 2 Corinthians 10:4). The seed of the future within us is the only force that is moving us forward. We only need to ensure that it is the seed of God to guarantee success (1 John 3:9; 5:4). The engine of the whole human race is hope and faith. Where hope and faith dies, everything dies and reverts backwards. It is the future (received in us) that changes the past and the present.”

Time is the Explanation and Understanding of Eternity

“Through the invention of the computer, the internet, radio, wireless communication and nanotechnology, mankind would be able to manipulate matter across time and space. These things are made possible through the discovery of electricity. What if there are more forces to be discovered that will facilitate whole new ranges of technology that will enable man to gain more and more scientific control of the universe that span into supernatural levels? What if the division between physical and spiritual is merely arbitrary and there are merely different gradients of understanding and connectivity between the two? Time is the Explanation and Understanding of Eternity. Time is the cross-section of Eternity and Eternity is the DNA of Time. Time will always unfold according to the plans of Eternity. The Future created the Past, and the Past builds into the revelation of the Future. As Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient Beings that are Timeless, All Powerful, can go anywhere and do anything and are practically Everything, We as God, the Collective One, decided to create Time to explain, understand and experience Ourselves/Self. It was for the purpose of explaining a Logical Progression to how we became what We Are. This is the path of the Evolution of Consciousness. We created a Starting Point to explain our End Point. We make our Eternal Present as the Ultimate Future by creating a beginning point of reference. We start with the basic environment of just trees and nature, and then we evolve into developing tools, using tools to discover elements of the periodic table and the forces of nature, and developing technology to harness it, and eventually manipulate and transform it like God. Therefore it is reasonable to say that those existing in the higher dimensions that aid us in our development are considered “Us in the Future” or our “Future Selves”. Time is an illusion and the separation between past, present and future and merely a separation of lower and higher dimensions. The higher dimensions are the future, and the lower dimensions are the past. If you can access and communicate information across dimensions, you can access and communicate information from the future and the past.

It is said that those who seek God on the scientific path are travelling up the mountain where when they arrive at the top, they will find that those who know Him by Faith are already there all along. But the difference is, those who took the scientific path will have engineered a pathway where they are able to move back and forth, transverse worlds and go anywhere and do anything with full understanding and precision. Whereas those who took the shortcut to God by faith alone can only sit in one place and can’t move as freely or knowledgeably anywhere else. Real faith is not blind faith. Real faith includes seeing and understanding everything and in every way. The Eternal Realm operates by Faith, and the Time Dimension operates by Experience. Faith alone is not God’s complete plan, otherwise he would not have created Mankind. The Angels already know Him by Faith. God’s plan includes Experiencing Him. Complete faith includes Experience, and the Ultimate Experience of God leads to Perfected Faith. The Bible says God created all things by Jesus Christ the True Avatar of God, and Jesus is Alpha and Omega, the Author and Finisher/Perfecter of Faith.”

“Evolution is the development of the energy of the universe in such a way that it has an increasing ability to consciously control itself and the universe around it. It is a progressive change from the unconscious to the conscious. We are the universe trying to comprehend itself. Man is the corporeal manifestation of the universe trying to control its own destiny. Man is God in the process of coming into existence.”

- James Hart

 
Light to the Planet Earth

“There are those angels and spirits who take part under the command of the Lord Jesus who become bearers of light towards the earth. This is done through a coordinated effort in which as a group, they become channels and enhancers of the light of Christ into the dark spheres by descending in a multi-sphere formation towards the darkness that surrounds the earth. The light of Jesus flows into them in a similar way in which light flows through an optic fibre cable and is enhanced at regular points onwards towards its destination. When this takes place it causes spiritual pressure upon the dark forces surrounding the earth as it is compressed downwards. Due to this compressed spiritual pressure, the darkness breaks upon the earth and at first, great evil seems to be released upon the earth that affects mankind and causes great suffering in wars, catastrophes, etc.

Although darkness seems to reign on the earth it is only temporary. The angels and spirits involved feel the suffering of mankind and have great love for humanity but they know that this is a necessary phase. Eventually due to this spiritual pressure of light upon the darkness of the earth, openings occur in the darkness surrounding the earth and the light breaks through to shine steadfastly upon humans living on the earth. This light leads mankind towards spirituality and brings man God-ward towards Christ. These events in the spiritual realm take place regularly and each event can be (in human terms) over several centuries with the ripples being felt over scores of years like waves of change in the human field of science, politics, religion, economics, etc. Note the wave of great evil and suffering that occurred before the exodus and before Jesus’ incarnation (Exodus 1:8-16; Matthew 2:16-18).”

“Even in the heavens, all the creation of God from the lowest spheres to the highest spheres are seeking to know God and to love Him. Every sphere has schools, universities and places of God’s manifestation, each learning and seeking to understand our Awesome God. As true knowledge of God is acquired, a glory transformation occurs to those who understand that particular level of knowledge. In billions of earth years, the highest spheres that have pre-existed planet earth are still coming to the knowledge of God.

There is so much to know of God that all the languages of humans are incapable of expressing who He really is. Even the word “God” is insufficient to express who He is. He is truly omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient but when we use the word “person” to refer to God it is an incomplete description because God is beyond time, beyond space, beyond energy and beyond “person.” He is the source, the creator and the sustainer of all life – all of our being and existence are in Him. He is the Supreme Being our Father God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the manifestation of the Supreme Being our Father God in time, space and energy in person simultaneously to all His creations (all of the Spiritual Universe) – so that all His creations can relate to God. Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Supreme Being our Father God are one. The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of the Supreme Being our Father God who “fills,” “sustains,” and “is” all time, all space and all energy. The Holy Spirit and the Supreme Being our Father God are one. Thus our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are one. We can understand why for eternities, we will be learning and growing in knowing God.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“There is an interesting phenomenon in the Spiritual World whereby angels and spirits in the highest spheres closest to God receive the life and light of God and pass it downwards through each sphere. There are no human words to describe it. It is like a “refraction” of light and life through the beings in the highest spheres downwards. But this life energy that goes through each of these beings is somehow enhanced and changed according to the characteristics of each being. Thus although it is the same light and energy, it now has an added “flavor” as it is transmitted to the spirits in the next sphere.

This work and activity is very specific and each partaking of the life, love and light of God is exactly for the one receiving it and is passed on specifically to the spirits of which they are in charge. This flows down the line (without getting weaker) through all the spheres until it reaches the earth sphere and downwards towards the planet earth. Some of these are commands and expressions of God’s Will which are communicated in ways which each sphere can receive and understand; thus the need to pass on through the various spirits or angels in charge as the higher sphere is always invisible to those lower. They can also be gifts and strengthenings that are imparted to enhance and increase the transformation towards the glory of God.

As each sphere is still growing and has its limitation of glory and understanding, it relies on those in the higher sphere to communicate and clarify the outflows of God’s life, love and light from His throne. The last one in this chain of blessing is usually the human on planet earth who receives it from his guardian angels and ministering spirits. Perhaps this was the phenomenon observed when our Lord Jesus was speaking to the angels of the seven churches in the book of Revelation (Chapters 2 and 3). This does not mean that God could not have manifested Himself through Christ directly to an individual. He does so from time to time. This activity is just one of the multiple processes of delightful work in heaven which God allows His creation to partake in.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
Events from the Foundation of Creation

“We were created in the Holy Spirit and chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). God knew us by name and our names were written in the Book of Life before the foundation of the world (Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:16; John 10:3, 14-15, 27-30; Revelation 17:8). Details of our individual destinies were planned and all the works were completed in the Spirit before time itself existed (Psalm 139:16; Ephesians 2:10; Hebrews 4:3).

We were all created through God the Word, who later revealed Himself on planet earth in human history as Christ Jesus (John 1:1-3; Matthew 1:21-23; Philippians 2:6-11; John 17:24). The Word brought forth the spiritual force of wisdom which fashioned us and all creation before the foundation of the earth (Job 38:4; Proverbs 3:19; 8:12-31; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 2:2-3, 9-10; 3:16).

We all follow a path of growth in God and at a certain point of development, and in order to develop the fullness of free choice and self-awareness, there is a requirement along the path of growth in God to assume physical bodies with limited knowledge and wrestle with the full power of free choice (Jeremiah 1:5; Romans 9:11; Galatians 1:15; Deuteronomy 30:11-20; Romans 10:8, 9). There is a potential risk (because of the power of free choice) that one moves away from God instead of towards God but it is an important growth step to be taken.

We need to also note that there are different levels of the ‘physical manifestations’ and not all the ‘physical worlds’ created by God have life forms at the same frequency as the ‘physical earth manifestation’ which is mineral carbon-based, water-based and oxygen-based. There are many other physical dimensions which are invisible to our physical eyes upon which other forms of ‘physical life’ can be based. There are myriads of other worlds within various galaxies and universes which God has created (Hebrews 11:3).”

“At some point, eons ago in the pre-Adamic earth, there was an entire civilization that existed before Genesis 1:3 on planet earth. Some of the fossils discovered are from the pre-Adamic world and not from the post-Adamic world. There was harmony between the inhabitants and the spiritual heavenly realms (when there is harmony the physical and the spiritual interact easily like Adam and Eve before the fall) but a rebellion took place involving Lucifer (Ezekiel 28:2-19; Isaiah 14:12-21). The entire pre Adamic earth and the portion of the Milky Way Galaxy around our Solar System was cast into darkness with about one third of spirits falling and taking the path away from God (Revelation 12:4).

The earth and its surrounding space became void and dark (Genesis 1:2) although it was not originally created that way (Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 45:18). Many different places of spiritual darkness and imprisonments for fallen spirits came into existence. Although generally known as hell in the English language, the Greek language gives different names to some of these different places: Hades (Matthew 11:23; 16:18; 16:23; Acts 2:27, 31; Revelation 1:18; 6:8; 20:13, 14 – Sheol in Hebrew – Deuteronomy 32:22; Psalms 9:17; 139:8; Isaiah 5:14; Ezekiel 31:16), Gehenna (Matthew 5:22; 23:33; James 3:6), Tartarus (2 Peter 2:4), Brugmos – place of gnashing teeth (Matthew 8:12; 13:42, 50; 22:13; 24:51; 25:30; Luke 13:28), Exoteros – outer darkness (Matthew 8:12; 22:13; 25:30), Anudros – dry place (Matthew 12:43; Luke 11:24), Lake of Fire (Revelation 19:20; 20:10, 14, 15; 21:8).

When God commanded light to shine in Genesis 1:3, it was a fresh recreation as He began to banish the darkness from the physical earth. When God breathed into the physical body which He had made for Adam, the spirit of Adam came into the physical body and Adam was given free choice and self-awareness (soul) in a physical body (Genesis 2:4). The time was also ripe for the revelation of Christ to be brought forth in the post-Adamic lineage (Genesis 3:15; 1 Peter 1:20; Hebrews 9:26; 1 Corinthians 15:45-49).

Attempts were made by the fallen spirits of the pre-Adamic world to corrupt the Adamic race but they were dealt with and imprisoned in chains of darkness (Genesis 6:1-8; 2 Peter 2:4, 5; Jude 6). It was with the Adamic race that Christ sought to reveal the manifold wisdom of God’s love and mercy hidden from the past ages (Romans 11:11-36; Ephesians 3:5-11; 1 Peter 1:10-12, 20-21; Matthew 13:35; 25:34; John 17:24). There is a final confrontation between the remnant of fallen spirits of the pre-Adamic world and Christ before the final completion of this part of the Galaxy into a new earth and a new heaven (Revelation 9:1-21; 12:7-17; 19:19-20; 20:1-3, 7-10, 14; 21:1).”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
The Revelation of the Lamb of God

“Even before the foundation of all creation, God knew that the elements of free choice and self-awareness given to His creation would result in the abuse and misuse of powers, forces and energies which He originally gave in benevolent love. These powers, forces and energies were to be used in beneficial unconditional love with pure selflessness but free choice and selfishness can turn the very same good into disharmonious energies which need an avenue to reverse and restore them into their original state of harmony. Thus He also included in His plan when He created time and spirits, the revelation of the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the earth (Revelation 13:8; 1 Peter 1:20; Ephesians 1:3-5).

At the cross of Calvary, a cosmic battle ensued with consequences which shook and vibrated forwards and backwards in time and dimensions as the Spirit of Life in Jesus took hold of all the confluence of disharmonies flowing from all time and dispensations and restored them back into divine harmony with Almighty God. That which was ordained before the foundation of the world was unfolded for all the creations of God as the Lamb of God obediently fulfilled the plan of the ages (Revelation 5:1-14). All the power of the redemption of Christ was concentrated upon the cross and its impact flowed backwards in time as well as forwards in time (Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 1:20-21; 2:24).

The eternal plan of God was not just a cleansing work in the redemption of Christ but the impartation of the life of God through the redemption of Christ (John 3:5-6, 16; 6:48, 53; 10:10, 28; 11:25; 14:6). Physical blood has always been equated with life (Genesis 9:4-6; Leviticus 17:11-14; Deuteronomy 12:23; Hebrews 9:11-28). The key to understanding the power of the blood is not just to see it ‘like a cleansing, bleaching agent’ which washes us white as snow (Isaiah 1:18; Revelation 7:15), although this does happen. Rather it is in reality to receive the Life of Jesus into us (Romans 5:9-10; 6:4-11; Romans 6:4-11; 8:2, 11). Thus a head knowledge of the redemption of Christ does not change us but rather the infusion of the Life of Jesus transforms us (James 2:19, 26; Romans 8:15-17).”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“In the Spirit World, there is a vast difference between spirits who are still learning and progressing in the various schools in the spiritual realm (Romans 2 category) and those who have learned to receive the Life of Jesus through union with Him. Those who learn to open themselves to the light, love and life of Jesus shine much brighter than those who choose to explore the various myriads of schools in the Spirit World and grow through their various stages of teachings.

Many of those spirits in the various schools do not realize that in the end they would find that all their great learning and understanding was actually flowing through various channels from Jesus Himself. These include many Christians who have not learned to have a deep relationship and union with Jesus but who had only filled their lives with teachings about Jesus; much of which are filled with their own prejudices and their own theology about God. It is the desire of Jesus to bring us to the position of glory where He is, one in the Godhead of the Father (John 17:24).”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
Complete Harmony and Union with God

“The eternal call and purpose of God in creating all of us is that as we develop our uniqueness and self-awareness to the fullest extent through all the Spiritual World spheres, we also grow towards a more complete union with Him through Christ Jesus. This harmony is achieved through Him completely being in us and we being completely in Him – His fullness of life in us and our fullness of life in Him. It is the supreme desire of Jesus to bring us to the place where He is in the Godhead of the Father, that we may behold the fullness of the glory of God (John 17:21-24).

There are degrees of union with God. In the revelation of God throughout the Bible, it is always the revelation of the desire of God to inhabit His people. In the Old Testament, it was through the tabernacle and temple in their midst and in the New Testament, we have become His living temples (Exodus 25:22; 40:35; 2 Chronicles 5:14; 1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 Peter 2:5). We are no longer limited to worship Him by place or time but are free to worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:23. 24). We have become His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all, a habitation of God in the Spirit (Ephesians 1:23; 2:22).

It is important to start this walk in union with Christ on earth and complete its fullness in the Spiritual World (John 15:1-5). It begins with His Word, life and love in us and we in Him (John 15:7; Romans 5:5). We need to continue to let the fullness of Christ be in us as we are in Him (Ephesians 3:17-19). When Christ who is our life appears, we shall also appear with Him in glory (Colossians 3:4). As we behold Him, we are transformed into the same image (2 Corinthians 3:18).”

The Science of Spiritual Time, Space and Energy

The Science of Spiritual Time, Space and Energy

“God, who Always Is, created all time, space and energy. Since God does not exist in these limits, we cannot imagine the dimension of God (since as His creation, we always think of existence in terms of time, space and energy). Those who try to define God by these limits are attempting to describe God from the human point of view. Try to imagine a dimension where time does not exist, space does not exist and energy does not exist and at the same time contains all of time, all of space and all of energy. The whole spiritual and physical universe created by God with all its life and inhabitants exists within time, space and energy (although the substance of spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy is beyond the physical manifestations of physical linear time, linear space and linear energy).

When God first created, He spoke and spiritual light came into being (Genesis 1:3). This light was not just natural light (photons) but it is a spiritual substance that cannot be seen or measured in the physical world. (Natural light is only a mere natural attribute of the formation of stars and suns). This original spiritual light contains the substance of time, space and energy.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“There is a difference between spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy and physical time, physical space and physical energy. Physical time is linear and measured by vibrations or movements of atoms or the rotations of heavenly bodies. Physical space is linear and measured by physical distance. Physical energy is linear and measured by velocity or frequencies or vibration. In order to understand spiritual concepts, we need to understand that there is also psychological time (where events can seem short or long based on our interest), psychological space (where distance can seem near or far based on our awareness) and psychological movement or velocity (where we seem to be moving even if another object of our attention is the one that moves – backwards or forwards – or the reverse where something else seems to be moving – like the sun around the earth – when it is actually we who moved).

The spiritual concept of time, space and energy is similar to the psychological concept of time, space and energy. The spiritual world experiences time through events, experiences space through thoughts and experiences energy through the spiritual life vibrating or pulsating from the spirit heart (which has its life origin from God). All of the Spiritual Universes still experience the concept of time, space and life but not in the same limited earth manner.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“The soul areas of man: intellect, will and emotions, were created to experience all the fullness of the dimensions of time, space and energy. We were not to be limited or dominated by these dimensions but rather learn to manipulate and be dominant over them. When we are freed from our physical body and become spirit beings, we are able to grow and learn to progress in our domination over these three dimensions of God’s creation. Even now we have a measure of the powers of the age to come (Hebrews 6:5). Consciousness is like the frequency, motion or energy aspect, the Will is like the propulsion or space aspect and Feelings are like the time aspect.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“Spiritual distances which are millions of light years when measured by earthly scales can be transverse in a fleeting thought but the distances can be “spiritually felt” by the density of the spiritual materiality of each sphere. The different spiritual spheres also contain different degrees of spiritual energy with the highest spheres containing the greatest pulsation of life. Because of the different degrees in which each sphere vibrates with the energy of spiritual life, those of the lowest sphere cannot see the higher spheres nor live in them until their internal spiritual life grows to the same degree of life or glory. In a similar way we cannot see the blades of a fan turning very fast, and are unable to see infra red or ultraviolet light because we do not have the internal physical eye capacity to see those wave lengths of photons.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“The physical material world is of the lowest life and lowest frequency of glory. It is “like a heavy condensation of the spiritual substance of spiritual light.” For lack of a better word, I would need to use the word “astral” hereby defined as the realm between the spiritual and the material to describe some mysteries of the material creation. From the spiritual substance of the spiritual light that came forth in God’s original creation, spiritual matter is first formed. Different proportions of spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy formed different types of spiritual matter (xT × yS × zE = Various Spiritual substances).

All the different spheres of the Spiritual Universes consist of the differing proportions of this light substance through differing proportions of time, space and matter. In a similar manner, natural light (photons) has three properties of frequency (related to spiritual frequency, energy or vibration), of wave length (related to the spiritual space), and a physical time dimension (related to spiritual time). For this reason, some aspects of God’s creations are completely invisible to inhabitants of a spiritual world made from other proportions of the spiritual substance of time, space and energy. Spirits created by God progress in their growth through the spiritual spheres experiencing the different dimensions and beauty of God’s creation.

The lives of the spirits are not dependent on the spiritual substances of time, space and energy of their solar systems or galaxies but rather their lives come from God directly but their manifest forms take on the substances of the respective world, solar system or galaxies in which they were first given life – their forms changing from glory to glory as they progress in their walk with God through the various spheres.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“When a human dies, they only leave behind the physical dimension but their life continues clothed in a lighter dimension of this spiritual matter (lighter in comparison to physical material). Of course, even this “lighter dimension” when compared with the higher spheres of glory is “heavy.” Imagine that there are countless other spheres higher in glory and you can imagine how heavy the earthly spheres must seem to spirits who are from God’s highest throne.

As spirits grow in glory through the spheres, they take on the “lighter” spiritual substances of the higher sphere. Thus spirits from the higher spheres can be invisible to those of the lower spheres but the spirits of the lower spheres are always visible to spirits in the higher spheres. When the higher spirits visit the lower spheres, they take on the substance of the lower sphere and when a lower spirit visits the higher spheres they are temporarily shielded with a covering so that they won’t feel uncomfortable in the greatness of the lighter substance of higher glory.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“God exists outside of all time, space and energy; and is in a dimension and realm beyond all our understanding at the moment. The Spiritual dimension consists of all the Spiritual spheres in their various states of glory. The highest spiritual spheres are sublime and lighter whilst the lowest spiritual spheres are less glorious but still made up of a spiritual substance. The ethereal/astral dimension is separate from the spiritual dimension in that the spiritual substance takes another dimensional shift (ethereal/astral particles) before the material dimension of physical matter.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“The spiritual substance of spiritual light cannot become physical material without first passing through another dimension. (Remember that each dimension of spiritual substance is formed by different proportions of spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy). This dimension between the physical material dimension and the spiritual dimension is called the ethereal/astral dimension – the deep (Genesis 1:2). The ethereal/astral dimension is likened to the dimension when water vapor (H2O) becomes liquid (water) and then solid (ice) (Genesis 1:2 – waters of the deep; Job 38:30; Psalms 42:7; 104:5-6; Proverbs 8:27, 28; Habakkuk 3:10). It is like the mould in which water is poured before it is made into different shapes of ice.

All physical matter has its ethereal/astral form before its physical form. Ethereal/astral forms are formed by ethereal/astral elements whilst physical forms are formed from atomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are four types of ethereal/astral elements which make up the ethereal/astral mineral life. They possess a measure of energy life force just like atoms and molecules possess energy. And as physical cells are formed from DNA which are combinations of four nucleotides (ACGT), ethereal/astral cells are formed from the four ethereal/astral elements of mineral life which are: earth type (E), fire type (F), water type (W) and air type (A).

The four ethereal/astral elements, although named as earth, fire, water and air are not like their physical element counterparts but rather relate (or have its physical shadow form) to the four primal forces of physics: earth relating to the force of gravity, fire relating to electromagnetic force, water relating to the strong force and air to the weak force.

These “ethereal/astral DNA” form ethereal/astral cells which in turn form three higher ethereal/astral life forms: plant life, animal life and human life. Because the physical realm is patterned after the invisible realm, what we see as physical DNA (ACGT) is patterned after the invisible “ethereal/astral DNA” (EFWA) (Romans 1:20; 2 Corinthians 4:18; Hebrews 11:3).

The ethereal/astral realm is affected by the thought energy that flows from all humans. It is also affected by the emotions and will of humans. Just as our physical bodies are constantly renewing each cell daily through our physical food; our ethereal/astral forms are constantly renewing their ethereal/astral cells through absorption of ethereal/astral life energy. Our thoughts have an effect on our ethereal/astral forms which then have a psychosomatic effect on our physical bodies.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“The Jewish philosopher, Maimonides, speaks of the four elements of fire, water, earth and air as the foundation of the form (golem) of all things. In almost all the different philosophies of the earth’s different cultures, there is an aspect of understanding, passed on from ancient days, of the astral elements and life-force. Most of it has been corrupted through the years and modern science has de-throned these philosophies as the error of ancient times before the atomic particles of matter were discovered. However, as modern science explores the realm of the spiritual, mental and sub-atomic forces of matter there will arise a need to re-examine the physical laws of physics and include a study of the laws of ethereal/astral physics.”

“A great number of unexplained phenomena in the physical world that defy the natural laws of physics are operating on the higher laws of ethereal/astral physics. The Hado effect (discovered by Dr Masaru Emoto) of water molecules through thoughts and words is caused by the effect of thoughts upon the ethereal/astral element of water. Sometimes individuals are born with a certain constituency of their ethereal/astral form having an effect upon certain mineral life through psycho-kinesis.

The seeming materialization of things from the spiritual realm is done merely by those who have acquired skills to manipulate the ethereal/astral realm.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“Sometimes whole communities are “held strongly” by a certain thought pattern and fear. In doing so they produce a “strong” astral form of fear over their community which seems to take a life of its own. The astral form of fear “seems” to have a life of its own because it is being fed by the fear energy of the community. It seems to suck the life energy out of every new person who comes to the community.

At other times, individuals surround themselves with astral forms that torment themselves, feeding off their own energy. The worst cases “see things” which nobody else sees – these are merely the astral forms that they themselves have produced.

Evil spirits are able to manipulate these negative astral forms and energy to affect the natural world through weather, “natural” disasters, or some materializing that causes harm to humans. The manifestation of new forms of sicknesses and diseases are also part of the work of these evil spirits. In the spiritual world, the simplest desire or free choice of a person not to be tormented by such negative emotions or thoughts causes a spiritual force shield around the person and his family or property that no astral form nor any evil spirit can penetrate. It is like a shield of fire around them.”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“Probably the best description of the ethereal/astral realm in the Bible is to call it the “ethereal/yetzer” realm. It is the realm where the “imaginations” of men are a reality in the invisible realm which will manifest in the material realm. God told Moses to write a song of warning and reminder to the Israelites because He could see into their yetzer and knew that it would be a definite manifestation in their future that they would rebel against Him and He desired that they would turn back to Him when that event occurred (Deuteronomy 31:21).

The flood of Noah was sent not just because of the acts of evil men but also because of the yetzer of evil men, which would have manifested physically (Genesis 6:5). Yetzer has been translated as “frame” and “thing made” in the Bible (Psalm 103:14; Isaiah 29:16). The astral form is the “frame” for the material body. The worlds were framed by the Word of God (Hebrews 11:3). Before our material body was made, our “frame” or ethereal/astral form was created first (Psalms 139:15 – Amplified Bible translates the depths of the earth as a region of darkness and mystery – which could easily refer to the Ethereal/astral sphere).”

- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)

 
“There are many differing concepts of the astral realm among the various occult religions and some of their concepts contradict one another. The true ethereal/astral plane is the lowest ethereal substance realm that is parallel to the earth and it is the realm that is the ethereal/astral blue print for all things created in the natural realm (Romans 1:20; 2 Corinthians 4: 18; Hebrews 11:3). The material DNA (ACGT nucleotides) that is the fabric of natural life has its counterpart in the “ethereal/astral DNA” (EFWA ethereal/astral elements), which is the invisible substance counterpart to physical DNA.

All the above descriptions and classifications of the dimensions of the Spirit World are merely my feeble human attempt to describe in earthly language that which was seen and experienced. The dimensions are real and true but my descriptions of them may be imperfect: there is a dimension of God (beyond time, space and energy), dimensions of the Spiritual World with all its various spheres of light which enclose the dark spheres, a dimension of an ethereal/astral state that is parallel to the material world (which I have called the ethereal/astral or ethereal/yetzer sphere), and the dimension of the physical world from the spiritual viewpoint. Thus my definition of the ethereal/astral sphere differs from others; it is merely a necessary realm that frames the material world and all physical life.”

The Power of Blessing Neutralizes All Evil

The Power of Blessing Neutralizes All Evil

“Make the statement, “Every man is a golden link in the chain of my good,” for all men are God in manifestation, awaiting the opportunity given by man, himself, to serve the divine plan of his life.

“Bless your enemy, and you rob him of his ammunition.” His arrows will be transmuted into blessings.

This law is true of nations as well as individuals. Bless a nation, send love and good-will to every inhabitant, and it is robbed of its power to harm.

Man can only get the right idea of nonresistance, through spiritual understanding. My students have often said: “I don’t want to be a door-mat.” I reply “when you use nonresistance with wisdom, no one will ever be able to walk over you.”

- The Game of Life (Florence Scovel Shinn)

 
“A woman who required money, and who knew the spiritual law of opulence, was thrown in a business-way continually, with a man who made her feel very poor.

He talked lack and limitation and she commenced to catch his poverty thoughts, so she disliked him, and blamed him for her failure. She knew in order to demonstrate her supply, she must first feel that she had received — a feeling of opulence must precede its manifestation.

It dawned on her, one day, that she was resisting the situation, and seeing two powers instead of one. So she blessed the man and baptized the situation “Success”!

She affirmed, “As there is only one power, God, this man is here for my good and my prosperity” (just what he did not seem to be there for).

Soon after that she met, through this man, a woman who gave her for a service rendered, several thousand dollars, and the man moved to a distant city, and faded harmoniously from her life.

Make the statement, “Every man is a golden link in the chain of my good,” for all men are God in manifestation, awaiting the opportunity given by man, himself, to serve the divine plan of his life.”

- The Game of Life (Florence Scovel Shinn)

 
“If a man wishes someone “bad luck,” he is sure to attract bad luck himself. If he wishes to aid someone to success, he is wishing and aiding himself to success.

The enlightened man, therefore, endeavors to perfect himself upon his neighbor. His work is with himself, to send out goodwill and blessings to every man, and the marvelous thing is, that if one blesses a man he has no power to harm him.

A man came to me asking to “treat” for success in business. He was selling machinery, and a rival appeared on the scene with what he proclaimed, was a better machine, and my friend feared defeat. I said, “First of all, we must wipe out all fear, and know that God protects your interests, and that the divine idea must come out of the situation. That is, the right machine will be sold, by the right man, to the right man.” And I added, “Don’t hold one critical thought towards that man. Bless him all day, and be willing not to sell your machine, if it isn’t the divine idea.”

So he went to the meeting, fearless and nonresistant, and blessing the other man. He said the outcome was very remarkable. The other man’s machine refused to work, and he sold his without the slightest difficulty. “But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you and persecute you.”

“The Tao of the universe does not compete, yet wins.”

- Tao Te Ching

 
“Let your thoughts about everyone be of their increased good. Picture everyone as successful. Sometimes people bring financial hardship to themselves by dwelling on other people’s financial difficulties, for what you focus on is what you draw to yourself. Rather than talking about how hard life is for people, send them compassion and light; see them getting out of their difficult situations and experiencing abundance. The positive pictures of love you send out will come back to you many times over.”

“One storekeeper increased his business dramatically by sending love and envisioning success for everyone who came into his store. People were magnetically drawn to his shop. If you hear friends complaining of lack, remind them of what they do have. When you are around people who talk of financial problems, see if you can change the subject or help them appreciate the abundance they have already created.”

- ORIN (Channeled in the book “Creating Money”)

 
“More than a mere formality, blessing has the power to turn lives around and make us into a blesser. Let’s back track to the Old Testament where to word “blessing” there is the Hebrew word barak. This simply means, “to speak the intention of God,” and “to be happy with where you are.” In the New Testament, it is the word eulogia from which we get the word “eulogy.” Eulogia means “to speak larger or well of,” or “to speak the intention or favor of God on someone.” Just as eulogies are tailor-made, so are blessings.

True blessing spoken over someone or something is describing the way God sees them. This is a prophetic insight to see the way someone or something is supposed to be, no how they may appear to be at the moment. Therefore, when we talk about blessing someone, we are prophetically stating: “May the Lord grant you all of His intention for you.” Or, “May God’s full expectation for you be fulfilled in your life.” And we know that God’s intentions for people are good.”

“May the Lord grant you all of His intention for you. I declare over you that God’s full intention for your life from the beginning will come into fruition.”

Blessing is an Act of Resting and Well-Speaking

“The word “Bless” in the Old Testament is “Barak” in Hebrew. Barak means “To speak the intention of God,” and “To be happy with where you are.” Genesis 24:11 “And he made his camels to kneel down outside the city by a well of water.” The phrase “kneel down” is “Barak” in Hebrew. Kneeling down is an act of surrendering to God the situation. When you bless by speaking the intentions of God over someone, it is an act of trust and surrender. Blessing is also an act of “Resting”, in which you are happy with where you are, like the camels kneeling down and resting by the well of water.

The word “Bless” in the New Testament is “Eulogia” in Greek. Eulogia is from which we get the word “Eulogy.” Eulogia means “To speak larger or well of,” or “To speak the intention or favor of God on someone.” Eulogia is used by the early church to refer to the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. It is a blessing or something blessed. This term also refers to praise. When you give praise, you are trusting, blessing and speaking what God intends.”

- Enoch Mind Reality

 
“Thinking blessing is only the beginning. Speaking releases the blessing, and that calls our tongue into action. That also places a great responsibility on our tongue. We are literally prophesying or “breathing out” the breath of God (pneumas) as we bless. Think about it. That is something not to be taken lightly. “Breathing out” blessing releases God’s power to work in a person and situation.”

“From the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force”
- Matthew 11:12

 
“We usually think of violence as something that is militant and angry. Violent – biadzo – is translated “to crowd out.” The idea is that when something fills up the space, it crowds out what was there before. For example, a glass filled with water pushes out any dirt that happens to occupy the glass. When Jesus comes into our life, He will crowd out those things that are in opposition to His nature. The prescription for breaking a life of cursing is to be filled with the Holy Spirit who will speak from the nature of Christ.

The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (see Gal. 5:22-23). These are attributes of blessing. It is interesting that they are referred to as the fruit of the Spirit. These qualities are developed in those who are willing to bless. Blessing has a way of crowding out what does not belong. Cursing gets crowed out and finds no room to launch from.”

“Place a blesser and a curser in a difficult spot and there is a stark difference between their responses. Worshipping God and blessing Him with song after being beaten and thrown in prison is the farthest thing from a curser’s mind. The “high praises of God” are not in their mouth, and they be wishing for a “two-edged sword in their hands” just to whack off a few ears. But not blesser like Paul and Silas (see Acts 16:22-34)! Their hearts and mouths were set to bless God no matter their situation. Though it seemed natural to accuse God of allowing them to go through hardship, they chose to sing. The Lord heard their music and He dealt with their oppressors. Their songs became the key to the prison doors and the opening for the jailer and his whole household to receive salvation. Wow! Paul and Silas could have missed that opportunity if they were busy whining and focusing on their troubles.”

“Something was missing in Jacob’s life, even tough he seemed to have everything a man in his time could want – wives, children, servants, and animals (oxen, donkeys, and flocks) (see Gen. 32:5). He had run away with nothing, but now he was coming back home wealthy. The patterns of deception and fraud that marked Jacob were something he never really dwelt on or attempted to deal with. These patterns were evident, from the time he cheated Esau of the birthright blessing, to working 14 years to marry the woman he wanted, to changing of his wages seven times!

Esau. Why, this deal with his brother hung like a boulder around his neck. How he wished it were all over! But Jacob new that there was no way around this one. And from the way it looked, God was not providing any escapes either. He was not getting any younger, and running and striving were becoming wearisome. What he desperately wanted was favor. That’s it. Not favor from God, for he knew he already had it, but favor with man, especially with his own brother (see Gen. 32:5).

Jacob was discovering a key to living life on earth – operating in the blessing is not independent of other people. To conduct business in a city, we need the favor of people. After all, when it comes to business and daily living, we deal with people. It is possible to have God’s blessing and not that of others. That happened to be Jacob’s case. The very thing that seemed to block him from fully receiving that favor was the issue with Esau. God intended for Jacob to eventually deal with the rift between him and his brother. God’s interest was in victory over that issue, not in the cover up. Jacob was a man familiar with the blessing and favor of God. What he had yet to receive and experience was the favor of man. And it was time.

God was declaring a new nature over Jacob’s life, sealed by a new name. He needed a new nature, something that did not mark him negatively. Jacob got it. In that moment, Jacob received not only the blessing of God but also the blessing of man.

Morning brought more than relief to Jacob (Israel) – it brought healing and restoration. Esau was running up to greet him with a hug and a kiss. Gone were the fears over this dreaded meeting. He had his brother’s love and forgiveness. Jacob’s new nature had taken hold, and he had no need to manipulate people anymore. And Esau, well, he could finally go on with his life. Jacob/Israel understood that his new name of prevailing was connected to his new nature of blessing – not only blessing God but blessing those He created in His image.”

Luke 6:28, “Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” There we have it – the strategy for overcoming the devil. The devil tries to bait us to fight evil with evil. Jesus says the victory is in the blessing. Remember, blessing is pronouncing God’s intended favor upon them, not what they deserve. Blessed are the merciful; they shall receive mercy. Blessing and mercy are partners, and when we sow them we reap the favor they bring. I don’t know anyone that does not need more favor or mercy.

- The Power of Blessing (Kerry Kirkwood)

 
“Speaking blessing is giving agreement to what God sees as the potential in a life. At the same time we give that agreement, the enemy tries to steal our faith in God’s Word by painting a different picture of our destiny. Whether attractive or dismal, we are not to believe the enemy’s alternate headlines of the day. God’s Spirit will “lift up a standard” against the enemy (see Isa. 59:19 NKJV). Most people refer to this verse as, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” However, the original intent was translated to read, “When the enemy comes in, like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” The comma is like the blessing – when we bless we change the intent from the enemy being as strong as a flood to the Lord being the flood that defends us in conquest.

The standard was a flag to show the fight is still going. I think the standard we wave is blessing, and it turns the tide of a battle to victory. The way the devil gets us defeated is to pull us to his side of agreement, as in the case with Balak and Balaam. If people rail at us we readily defend ourselves with equal volleys of the same. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to change our tactics and expectations by cultivating a grateful heart that gives blessing in spite of cursing.”

No More Gophers

“The test of blessing came when my brother Joe, living in Amarillo, Texas, was having trouble with gophers ruining his lawn. The critters would tunnel underground, eating the fresh roots of the grass. He did the normal things one does to rid gophers. He tried poisoning them, only to find them getting fatter. The tunnels seem to get wider while he was getting more frustrated with them. He bought special traps for the little diggers. They seem to dig around the traps and continued destroying his yard. He even tried cursing the rodents, thinking he had authority over them. He was told I was teaching on blessing what God created.

His first thought was, “You can’t bless an animal, much less one that is being destructive.” Since the other methods were not working, he decided to give it a try. One evening while no one was watching, he went outside and said something to the effect of, “Mr. Gopher, I don’t know why God made you, but I know it wasn’t to destroy my lawn, so I bless you to fulfill the purpose for which you were created and I release you to greener pastures.” He tromped down all the tunnels to see if it would truly work. To his amazement, the next day there were no more signs of tunneling. He blessed them right out of his yard.

I shared the same story with a group of prisoners in a federal penitentiary in southern Texas. I told them they could bless the guards instead of cursing them. A few weeks later, I got a report through the chaplain’s office of an amazing story. One of the cell blocks had been overrun with roaches. They seemed to not be able to exterminate them for very long at a time. They decided to do what my brother did with the gophers. They got together and blessed the roaches as God’s creation, not knowing why they were created, but simply because they belonged to the Lord. In a short time, the roaches had moved out of their cell block to another one. These men learned firsthand the power that is in blessing. I have at least two other reports of people hearing these testimonies and trying it out on their gophers, only to find that it really works.”

Goodbye, Beavers!

“If it works with gophers, it must work with beavers, Holly reasoned. She was listening to me talk about blessing gophers and remembered she was heaving troubled with beavers. Eight long months of trying to clear her property of beavers was getting to her. She had already tried shooting the beavers without success. She had tried calling the wildlife conservation people, who told her she was number 55 on the list and it would be several months before they could trap the beavers. She recalled how the beavers had already become a costly nuisance. They had taken down a huge number of trees on the property; they had built themselves a nice dam across her pond! Their burrowing had caused a leak in the dam that threatened to flood a country road and other nearby properties. But she was not going to let that happen. Not after hearing about blessing what God had created. Leaving service that Sunday, she decided God was not a respecter of persons or animals, and it would not hurt to try blessing the pests. Nothing else had worked.

Quickly surveying her surroundings, she was assured that there was no one else around in her land. She was alone with the beavers. Here goes…

“I just bless you beavers to the next pond.”

He voice echoed in the quietness, bring home a realization. Should the beavers move to one of her neighbor’s ponds, they could experience agonizing months like she did. That was something she did not wish on anyone.

She recanted, “Oh, I don’t want you to ruin someone else’s pond. I just bless you to the heavenlies, and I bless you out of here to a better life!”

By now, she was yelling at the top of her voice, mostly out of frustration. The next day, the beavers were still there. A few days passed when she got a call from the head of the Extension Service in Fort Worth, Texas, the department that deals with animal control. Yes, the head of the Extension Service! He was informing her that her name was next on the list to come and remove the beavers. He could not explain how she moved up on the list, but she was next. After eight months of contacting the proper county authorities and even the Extension Service with no success, this was a mountain-moving experience.”

“Many messages perpetuate the lie that cursing people and things may produce results, but they are not the results that honor God. Yet people are buying into this in their desperate search for change and power.

A book was circulating around Serbia that promoted the idea of cursing whomever you did not like. Written by an American man, the book had been translated into Serbian and Hungarian. Church people were cursing anyone they disliked, including cars and trees! Fear was the driving force behind this motivation. Cursing looks for destruction for its determined fruit. Blessing looks for restoration and resolution as the measure of its success.

At the very least, blessing is close to the heart of the Lord, and you will feel the pleasure of the Lord when you bless and refrain from cursing.”
