It is not easy to convince the natural mind that there is a limitless fountain of love joy and peace and many other blessings, as it is attached to the physical and experiences the world as the physical dictates, confined to that reality in perception and state. The freedom from which is not to listen to those who have had no spiritual experience and their limited life view! Or your own natural mind against it. The natural mind is confined to perception in a linear format in the form of thought and language, the subconscious mind is not! A spirit filled subconscious mind that also has a solid knowledge base of the word of God, will lead the natural mind in revelation to all truth! An earth bound subconscious is limited to self and worldly understanding, even in the things of God! The mountain to be moved is that it is the natural mind that leads to the receiving of the Holy Spirit. That you are reading this you have knowledge and hopefully an understanding, but that is not enough! The greatest most formidable barrier to receiving is disbelief and doubt, which the natural mind has in abundance, the teachings of Yeshua on faith make this plain. Faith comes by the word of God! A real encounter with the Holy Spirit is above and beyond description, the mind is liberated renewed and continually refreshed by an enlightened subconscious mind. Many of those liberated witness and display total transformation, not only of the mind but healing of the body. These testimonies in regard to the general population are voices in the wilderness, when the reality is that the majorities are in the spiritual wilderness and not aware they have access to divine intervention.
Sadly there are many in the Christian church never having had a real encounter with the Holy Spirit due to the nature of the problems I mentioned earlier regarding what the message has become, and their experience has become a somber affair of head knowledge, with services resembling Victorian funerals where they practice the type of prayer that Yeshua spoke against and they display the same spiritual poverty as the secular. I’m not against ritual and ceremony as it provides structure, routine, and order, but practice should not take precedence, even for those on the quest of enlightenment in meditation. To quote myself, “The perfect peace within your mind need not sit for hours to find you, a walk in meditation in active contemplation, I move through stillness.” There are also some Christians who believe God is going to float down from the sky and take all the believers off to heaven in ‘the rapture’ condemning the rest of humanity to suffer the aftermath. (Selfish hope) He will come! But the truth of the rapture is completely different to as they suppose, and will came in the order as to reflect the nature of the unfolding of creation as a whole. The revelation will fit all, not just the few! As the rapture shall be, with undeniable physical evidence a great spiritual revelation. Believers will be the first to be uplifted and benefit beyond sober expectation in a new physical reality.
