Firmament and Expanse

As below, so above: the heavens aren’t clean in the sight of HaShem; and like on earth, the process of salvation on the path to perfection continues. Above, the angelic worms of fire bathe in the lake that surrounds the throne of Yahushua owcwhy, HaShem’s projection, as they prepare for incarnation. As though boiling, they arise and they fall within the divine fire as they are purged; and they continually behold the faces of HaShem in HaMashiyach to understand what is being done; for they cannot be perfected within the intensity of heaven’s fire.  They are made ready for perfection: their
                  immortal angels are being both cleansed and schooled for the clean mortal
                     souls that will serve their coming immersion within the cooler, more
                        tolerable fires of earth, which they will enter after being cooled in the birth
                           waters of incarnation.

                             Their physical birth on earth will anneal the worms of fire as they enter
                           the waters of the new mortal soul, drinking of its substance and
                        establishing their new identities on earth. The processes of physical birth
                     make compensation for residual immortal imperfections that were
                  unresolved as they bathed in heaven’s fire, which had exposed their core beings to stubborn darknesses from past lives; and they return to the lesser fires of earth, which burn away at inner scar tissues.

Further, key immortal interactions must occur within the realm of earth, giving both themselves and their counterparts direct opportunity to resolve past issues or to open new ones, as the worms of fire intertwine through natural relationships. In every respect, both above and below, imperishable worms of fire are establishing foundations and preparing for the immortal souls that will serve them in the celestial realm, even as their mortal souls on earth are preparing for dissolution in the return to heaven.

In both realms, they receive instruction; and they agree to parameters of ongoing fire immersions; for while incarnated on earth, they retain their anchors in the Lake of Fire above. On earth, they are anchored by God’s spirit, around and along which their earthly spirits travel as they negotiate the evils of each day.

The vast distance of the firmament between the expanses of earth and heaven obscures their sense of an ongoing presence in the fire above, and this is given so that the choices open to them on earth are made with a modicum of independence. Their presence in the expanse of heaven while incarnated on the expanse of earth is like unto the wheels of a chariot, with the firmament providing the axle.

The fire of heaven bathes and opens wounds. The fires of earth cauterize in concert with that which is being done above. Immersion in fire, above and below, allows the angelic worm to address outstanding grievances. Each of us must pay his debts: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, until forgiveness triumphs among us all, freeing all of us, at once and as One, to enter into the father’s rest. Accusers will be cast down to earth again and again, because they raise up the spirit of accusation in all of us, polluting our thoughts and making us doubt the efficacy of Yahushua’s sacrifice.

Heaven’s fire seals immortal angels who incarnate with the seal of promise, the seal of the father’s hand: as vessels on the potter’s wheel, we rise and fall as we are shaped, reshaped, and shaped again, made ready for the kilns of earth. The creator sees his handiwork as it will be, not as it appears, in its states of becoming. The potter’s seal of promise rests in the father’s hand, where it is held in reserve along with the forehead seal, which is called the “third eye” or the “circle of light.”

The forehead seal is the seal of perfection. It certifies that those who overcome within the fires of earth have reached their promise in the mind of la and are ready for the immortal garments of the celestial realm: the celestial body, the body of light. The anointed Teacher of Righteousness of the gospels demonstrated the way to reach that perfection, by resolutely walking the path of Truth that leads to the Light of HaShem. Overcoming in the mortal realm begins through answering the call to take up the trail he blazed, both within and without.

There is a desert within that lies beyond the Sea of Rods that beats against the heart. The waters on left and right will part, allowing an escape into the wilderness on the other side; but it is an escape into the wilderness, not into the land of milk and honey. One must face hard realities and make difficult choices, fasting until the will of HaShem is clear. Making conscious decisions about who and what you serve, as you are enabled by the spirit of HaShem breaks remaining constraints of the spiritual bondage of Egypt of old, preparing you to serve and worship HaShem among the brethren in the land beyond Yardan, the River of Souls.

Pharoah is the old man, the mortal soul. He anchors incarnated worms of fire their cumulative debt to life. He is never satisfied with his hold on the angelic, and he will increase his demands as the promise and vitality of youth fade. nor can any escape the grip of mortality on his own. Flee before him on your own, and he will pursue you right up to the judgment seat of heaven, using your own thoughts to lay claim to your soul, demanding that you be returned to earth in his power, once again.

Out of Egypt our la calls his sons. Pharoah and his troops will follow, as after prey fleeing on its own; but those who answer the inward call of HaShem are led by a power greater than any the world has known. The debt of straw and the demand for bricks will not be forgotten or forgiven successfully without divine intervention; and thus, the reflection of HaShem (Moses) prepares us to perceive, to receive, and to enthrone the projection of HaShem (Yahushua) as captains of our immortal souls.

When Pharoah and his company are drowned in the waters of salvation, the desert of innermost thoughts awaits, where one must shed those inward qualities that allowed Pharoah to usurp God’s throne in the first place. That confrontation takes place in the desert around Sinai over a period of forty m cycles, which is to say until eligibility m for freedom m is established through God’s counsel m.

Those who overcome will emerge from the dark night of the soul at the base of Sinai to take up active lives of service within humanity, having turned their backs to dead-end lives wasted by serving self. When they fall shortand they will fall shortthey will have need to retreat to the privacy of the prayer closet, where they can daily regain their centers in messiah, which is the heart of HaShem.

They do not enter the closet to speak, but to listen, to meditate, to pray without ceasing, attuning their receptors unto renewal through God’s counsel. All souls do well to travel back and forth between the people with whom they share their lives on earth and the prayer closet; for all must overcome spiritual obstruction in the presence of all brethren as accusers are cast down.

Just as malleable steel is tempered by being thrust into cold water when it has been hammered and shaped to the blacksmith’s satisfaction, so are the angelic fire worms of heaven tempered by being thrust into the cooler fires of earth, again and again, until the angels incarnated within mortal souls are perfected in the sight of HaShem, having been led of HaShem until they are fully ready to receive the immortal soul meant to clothe the celestial body, the Body of Light. Yes, we can be born again. The good news is that physical death is no longer required to progress within the cycles of life.
