Fear as an object of interest. .

To My Mind The Serpent In The Garden of Eden Allegory Represents My

ego . . .

The image of the serpent/ego is beguiling and also a bit frightening.

Until the moment of the tasting of the forbidden fruit there had been no reason for fear (and so no fear consciousness).  It is interesting to philosophize/speculate about the possibility that a twinge of ‘fear’ entered the picture when the serpent made its proposal.

According to the discussion in the Bible the Holy Spirit knows not of fear, but ‘can cast out fear’ in a mortal mind.  

How is this possible if the mortal mind has freedom of choice?  The obvious answer is that the power is available, but must be accepted and allowed to work.

So then, casting out fear requires the combined auspices of the finite mind and the infinite mind.

The World-Wide Significance of The Bible

Analyze THIS

The fact of the great importance of The Bible in human history, psychology, and spirituality can be understood and/or explained in secular terms as follows:

Human thought and understanding is in direct proportion to the breadth and depth and completeness of ground (or background) against which it is presented and analysed.

Because of my Christian upbringing, I know of no more thorough and complete ground against which to view my experiences and my thinking than the Bible.

During Enlightenment, In Any Religion, All Involuntary Actions Should Be Constructive

Truth just is what it is.

You Shall Know The Truth and The Truth Shall Set You Free

If the Answer isn't Simple.  IT ISN'T THE ANSWER.

CUT TO THE CHASE

you cannot evaluate an insane belief system from within it.
Its range precludes this.  You can only go beyond it, look
back from a point where sanitgy exists and see the contrast.

Only by this contrast can insanity be judged as insane. . .

Lack of knowledge of any kind is always associated with
unwillingness to know, and this produces a total lack of
knowledge simply  because knowledge is total . . . The Holy
Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's thought system
merely because He knows its foundation is not true.  Therefore,
nothing that arises from it means anything.  He judges every
belief you hold in terms of where it comes from.  If it comes from
God, He knows it to be true.  If it does not, He knows that it is meaningless.

"THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING" ?

The Only Reason For A non-self Examined Life is when it is 100%
Inspired – Jesus of Nazareth is an
EXAMPLE. . .

It HAPPENS in our Lives only
MOMENTARILY

When it happens for us, we had a
Hand in creating the mindset, The
Exhilaration, without limit, is just partOf the totality of the awareness.
