The Firmament Within

The veil that hid the things of heaven from those on earth has been parted, from top to bottom. That which separated has become that which joins. Life in heaven and on earth are a continuum in which wheels turn within wheels, and the firmament that stretches between them is like an immense tunnel, a wormhole within the temporal, through
which the spirit of HaShem projects angelic worms of fire as living souls, so that they may reach perfection within the confines of the physical tabernacles into
which they are to be received. In natural birth, the woman encompasses
the child she will give birth until its time has come. In spiritual birth, the
woman is the envelope of God’s spirit, within which a man lives and
moves and has his being, until he is freed by birth.

There are twins in the womb, yes; and by the will of HaShem, both
must come to birth. Shuffling within time, one twin surges ahead or
falls behind, as in the parable of Phares xrp (a breach of expectations)
and Zerach jrz (a first fruit of the rising light). That both are to
overcome is understood in  HaShem’s words to Cain, “If you do well,
shall you not be accepted?”

It's written, “Learn what this means, ‘I will have mercy, not sacrifice.’” You can’t hate the offender within yourself and understand God’s righteousness. Works can be hated, but you can no more lawfully hate yourself than you can lawfully hate a brother. Denying that which offends in you and claiming as your own those things you think are pleasing to myhla is not denial of self. That path would leave any who completes it standing in the holy place as bride of HaMashiyach without ever having earned the garments which that holy place requires.

What good does any earn by giving thanks for the good things messiah has provided? The father may be pleased that you are pleased, but he would rather you had given thanks when you perceived the enemy within. At such times you will, yourself, be safe; and you will also be in a superior position to minister to any without who is like the enemy within— like the person you once were, and you may earn freedom for you both within messiah’s embrace. It is not because of that in you which seems good or bad that you know you are disciples of the Son of Man, but because of the love you have, one for another; for all are to be sincere friends and brothers within the fellowship of the saints.

The Emanation of HaShem remains rooted in the eternal, even as it is projected into the temporal. In like manner, the angels of heaven’s temporal realm remain rooted in the immortal as they put on mortal garments for incarnation on earth. Both the physical body and also the mortal soul of the natural man who has yet to overcome remain rooted on earth but have presence in heaven.
