From Within

Eve didn't comprehend, nor did Adam, how vulnerable she was, having been taken out of his interior, to be created.

Human internals are protected by our exteriors for a reason.  Since woman was taken from within man, was she the target of the deception in Eden, perhaps, being more vulnerable?

AND YET - since the Kingdom of Yahuwah Elohim is WITHIN US, then she may also have a spiritual advantage, being taken FROM WITHIN. 

Y'shua said that the Kingdom is within us; in the epistles it is said, Messiah within, our hope of glory.

It is an interdependence, though, generally.  She needed man, to be taken out FROM.  He needed a worthy companion.

Why Is LOVE the GREATEST?

According to 1 Corinthians, of Faith, Hope and Love, LOVE is the GREATEST.  Why?

Faith is pretty great, indispensable, and without Hope you're hopeless - bland and despairing. 

But I realized, LOVE LEADS TO Hope and Faith.  If you don't care, why bother with hoping or believing for the best?

Love ignites hope ignites faith = you can SEE IT - IT just happens to be AHEAD OF TIME.

Which is because You DO Care about the someone or something.  Because you LOVE.

Conformity to Non-conformity?

I was brought up to be basically a non-conformist, though not in everything.  Some things are right to conform to.  But others - variables - are, well, variable.

But somehow I detected that in certain general "groups", in order to fit with those particular misfits, one must "obey" a whole new set of "rules".  Yuck.

Like, what you are "supposed" to approve or disapprove.  What you may or should not wear; what kind of hairstyle - it's "supposed" to say something about your inner being.  Ick.

Why should a person conform to non-conformity?  I like what I like, not what the "they" of my "group" say.  GOD!  What happened to genuine creativity?  Shade it however you like.  But the absolutes - they stand alone in the clear light of Day.

Atoms and Adams

It's all of You, Creator ~ every last atom.  The "last Adam" is You, too, Y'shua, Messiah, The Creator come down to "fix it" = our mess we* made of Your atoms!  You are Who You say You Are, NOT nameless and brainless.  You Are Who YOU SAY You are, YAHUWAH! NOT WHO WE may say.

*We: the "first Adam" and all of us afterwards

His Healing Pool - Shark-Free

There are no sharks in the pool of grace!

Jump in and float ~ heavenly.

Swirl, swim and dive deep down here;

No fear lurks beneath, in this healing place.

Finding the entrance... may call for ...         tell ya later :)

LATER:     ...the guts to take the plunge and trust

That the risk is worth the rush.

The cross-shaped crack

Opens into another entire race 

where the water is alive, breathing peace.

Your face becomes phosphorescence;

Press past the social lies, and this shall become the case.

More Parallels

IN the second book by Cassandra Boyson (see previous post), The Seeker's Quest, the heroine finds herself in an underwater city... very deep, yes.  Submergent, even!  I am now quite used to bumping into these parallels in her work:

I'd very deliberately put on Blue and Gray a day or two ago, and "heard" that it was very important.  In today's reading so far, p. 61, the Inventors' building interior is very deliberately Blue and Gray.  There will be more...

Her friendly Dragon took her there.   He is the uncorrupted version.  Whatever we can ask OR IMAGINE!  We can have...

YAHUWAH IS ABLE to make SO, the sanctified original.  Even our families are so.  Without even trying.  According to 1 Corinthians 7.  OK, getting ready for PASSOVER NOW!  YAY!!

Yes, I know no one is reading these at this time.  But I need to write anyway. Plus I will be writing for young people soon so I LOVE reading stuff for them too!  I did start once but came across, guess what, a parallel so I stopped.  But now I know better... it confirms and doesn't discourage.

Parallels in "Seeker's Call" by Cassandra Boyson

I am reading this fantasy for young people - AWESOME,  though I'd love to have been an editor/ proof-reader for it, I LOVE her characters and story!  One can easily overlook the few glitches.

It keeps paralleling my life - scarily.  I put water on for tea, next thing I know her character is boiling water for tea.  I am smelling sweet Lilac in the air outside; her character is enjoying the honey-fragrance of the air outside.  

She finds the source of a river in a very deep pool.  Well?  This blog is called Submergent Zone for a reason!  And I just read a bit yesterday in Jeanne Guyon's book on prayer about falling into the depths of God - fathomless!  I will be writing more on this topic SOON!
