Find Him and His Way...
Looking THROUGH the Glass,
Not AT the Glass
The poem is about seeing through the glass into Father’s world, the Spirit, rather than being captivated by, controlled by, or fooled by our own reflection and this present age.
This is the difference between living in the present age vs the mind controlled by the spirit. This is the difference between the tree of knowledge vs the tree of life: Neo knows there is no steak, there is no spoon. He sees THROUGH the glass to the big view of reality on the other side. Cipher “Zilch” only sees his own reflection in the glass window and delights in the taste of steak, and the Matrix is his considered choice for sensual desires. Neo can appreciate - enjoy - laugh, but isn’t ever drawn, or controlled, or disappointed by anything in the binary molecular atom world.
This “see through the glass even if dimly” is the opposite of seeing your own reflection in the glass instead of what’s on the other side.
This is a trigger, a pneumonic and strategy for how to practically get from the tree of knowledge to the tree of life, living in and controlled by this present age, to live “seated with Christ in Heavenly Realms” “led by the Spirit” “abiding in Him and He in you” “Christ (Anointing) - the hope of Glory” “on earth as it is in Heaven” - NOW.
Find Him and His Way...
Looking THROUGH the Glass,
Not AT the Glass
Amidst life’s maze, a truth unveiled,
To find our path, our future hailed,
Look THROUGH the glass, not at the glaze,
And wisdom’s light shall guide our days.
Reflections tempt with transient gleam,
Distorted truths, a fleeting dream,
To discern a future bright and clear,
Peer THROUGH the glass, the heart sincere.
The world parades its gilded wares,
Enticing souls with tempting snares,
Yet, through the glass, we See what’s real,
To navigate, with strength we deal.
The things of earth, we may enjoy,
Yet not enslaved, nor to them toy,
For through the glass, we find the strength,
To rise above the fleeting length.
And in our quest to know the Divine,
To feel His presence, light that shines,
Gaze through the glass, find God within,
A boundless love, our souls will win.
Let us seek the vision true,
Through the glass, the world renewed,
Wisdom and discernment found,
In looking through, a truth unbound.
Amidst the glass, a call to see,
Beyond reflections’ vanity,
To find a path for what’s to be,
We look within, our souls set free.
Through glass, we glimpse life’s grand design,
Unveiling truths that intertwine,
Discerning futures, hopes align,
A journey traced by stars that shine.
The worldly temptations may allure,
Yet deep within, we must ensure,
To look through the glass with vision pure,
Embrace the essence, love secure.
In joys of life, our spirits dance,
Not bound by things or circumstance,
Through glass, we glimpse our soul’s expanse,
Beyond materialistic trance.
And in our quest to know the Divine,
Through glass, the sacred visions shine,
A glimpse of truth, of love divine,
In unity, our souls align.
Look through the glass, oh seeker bold,
A world of wonders to behold,
Beyond reflections, clear and bright,
Where truth resides, beyond the sight.
Amidst the haze of earthly things,
The gleaming glint, temptation brings,
But through the glass, we learn to see,
The transient dance of vanity.
The call to serve, to love, to care,
With empathy, our burdens bear,
Through glass, we glimpse the essence pure,
A tapestry of life secure.
In seeking God, the sacred quest,
Through glass, we find eternal rest,
Beyond the ego’s self-reflection,
A divine bond, a deep connection.
So look beyond the surface gleam,
Through the glass, where dreams redeem,
In unity, our spirits rise,
A world unveiled before our eyes.
Motives Laid Bare...
Looking Through to Jesus for Freedom
Also, observe how virtually any temptation that presents itself to you, jealousy or fear or lust or greed or selfishness... If you look THROUGH the glass instead of yielding to temptation (or trying to defeat temptation) by looking AT the glass, look THROUGH the glass window at Jesus and allow your “motives to be laid bare” — seeing Him properly and flesh and this present age properly— that you will find freedom.
Why was Paul dead to the world and the world to him? Because he saw Jesus through the glass and saw that all of the things of this present age are just bugs or dirt on the window.
What is the victory that overcomes the world? Seeing the matrix and the real world properly, the faith to look through the glass window instead of at the reflection. There is no steak. There is no spoon.
Don’t know whether a cuppa coffee or a dessert is a lust or an extra - or totally fine? Uncertain because of the tree of knowledge? That’s a heavy lift to have to know how to be right and justified by “good and evil” decisions, if you have the energy to even try, all day everyday. Instead, “eat the Scrolls” rather than just memorize them. Eat from the Tree of LIFE. Look THROUGH the glass AT JESUS. He gave you the ability to smell and see and taste, He invented electricity to brew the coffee, allowed your body to feel the warmth going down your throat. Is it a vice? Is it a lust? Is it pleasure-seeking? Find out how to bend towards the aroma of Christ, Anointing, rather than figure it out. It’s all about Jesus. There is no steak. There is no coffee. There is no dessert. If bringing Jesus pleasure is all that really matters, not your own pleasure, then you’ll know what to do or not to do case by case. Take, kill and eat. Or don’t. :-) Jesus is not a principle, he is a person.
From a question about whether something is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or the tree of life:
Everyone needs to know that the tree of life is NOT whether or not something is good or bad, good or evil, but whether it controls YOU versus you control IT. If it controls you, then it has become your god. If coffee is something you have to have, then it has become your god. Coffee is not evil, but if it has become your god then that is evil.
Whatever the topic, whether it’s a friend or hobby or food or sleep or work, if it controls you, then it has become your god and there’s no Life there.
If, on the other hand, you truly control IT, then coffee or any number of other things are probably fine. If you can’t stop doing it or thinking about it, it’s become your god.
If it is a seemingly “neutral thing” not forbidden by God as far as you know, and you can stop any time you want and forget it any time you want, then there’s a pretty good chance it’s not an issue with God.
And I will repeat something said previously: If God hates it, hate it. If God loves it, love it. If God doesn’t care, then you must not care.
