My dart landed on I Timothy & Macedonia; Catwoman; Desire

Today's interest... I've read all the books of the Bible so many times now over the course of my entire life that when I finish retranslating one I just throw a dart at the dartboard. "Which one now?" I just finished Titus yesterday (again). "I don't know...(throws dart) ... how about... 1 Timothy." Here's the magic part. 1st Timothy MATCHED EXACTLY what is happening today in my own life, the essence of the teaching. God has been doing that with me since 1998 when I moved to Orlando JUST to do this. I intended to stay in Florida for 2 years. I intended to spend 1 year in Daytona Beach, and 1 year in Orlando. Then I planned to go back to Texas where my family is.

I picked Orlando for the first year, even as much as I love the ocean and beach (you can tell, I'm always posting pics of pretty oceans and beaches). Daytona Beach held the possibility of Hurricanes. I had my 3 little children to take care of, at that time, one was in college, and I didn't know very much about how dangerous hurricanes actually were. So, I picked Orlando to start with. I thought I'd be done in 2 years. Not a chance. Twelve years later I moved from Orlando back home to Texas, now knowing what I set out to learn. I retranslated the King James Bible for 15,000 hours during that time. I kept up with it day after day on my wall calendars. When I had finished I had an entirely different paradigm that God had taught me, very, very different from what we've been taught in church. I write about it, all the time. Heaven Christ Consciousness. That's what I named it.

Anyway, so my dart today landed on I Timothy. As I've been creating today's AI images for the Catwoman story I also wrote today, I've been studying I Timothy Chapter 1. I made it as far as Chapter 1 verse 3. It's talking about desire. DESIRE. It is saying that God gave us fleshly DESIRE, physical longings, so that eventually we'd be able to progress and match that up with spiritual desire.

Think of the man or woman you have desired in your life more than any other one. Feel that desire. Now, convert that over to spiritual desire. We have to have the same desire, the very same INTENSITY of desire that you just remembered. We have to have that for God and for God's Word, for following him. It's that FIRE that will carry us down the path he has prepared for us to walk.

Interesting how I've been creating a very desirable Catwoman today as I went back and forth with my AI program and my Bible retranslation. I keep my work projects in different open tabs on my computer screen. So, as I work on one project, if it has to compile for a bit, like AI does, then I just flip over to my Bible tab and my lexicon tab. Like that. God did that with me for the entire 12 years I was in Orlando figuring this stuff out. That's how he taught me. Just like today. He matched it to my life. Desire.

(Quote from TruthUnity.net HERE)

I Timothy 1:3 Macedonia:

Metaphysical meaning of Macedonia (mbd)

Macedonia, maç-e-do'-ni-å (Gk.)--extended; elevation; adoration; burning.

A country north of Greece. At the time of Paul it was a Roman province. Paul did much preaching there (Acts 16:9; 20:1-3).

Meta. When the thoughts of man turn adoringly toward God, spiritual zeal and enthusiasm are awakened and these set the whole consciousness into constructive activity.

Fervor, intensity, and vehemence are required in order to carry the great and beautiful message of Truth over seeming hindrances to the different centers and states of consciousness (represented by the cities and nations through which Paul journeyed and preached). Macedonia signifies the enthusiasm and the energy of Spirit, which set the whole man aflame. It is necessary that this phase of the consciousness be cultivated, because without it a passivity sets in that makes one content with the battle only half won.

Now take a look at Ephesus (Quote/same verse): HERE

Metaphysical meaning of Ephesus (mbd)

Ephesus, eph'-e-sus (Gk.)--desirable; appealing.

A city of Asia Minor, and capital of Ionia (Acts 20:17; Rev. 2:1). Ephesus was at one time a center of learning, also of commerce. It was noted for its wonderful temple that was built for worship of the goddess Diana.

Meta. The central building faculty of the consciousness called desire.

In its physical aspect Ephesus symbolizes the stomach. In its mental aspect it symbolizes the ganglionic center at the pit of the stomach, which controls and directs all the organs pertaining to digestion and assimilation.

Philosophers like Darwin and Spencer say that desire is the root of all body building. They claim that desire draws together the few protoplasmic cells that make the stomach of the most primitive life forms. Desire is but another name for constructive thought. The desire is the center from which goes forth the impetus that makes the form.

The cells that build the form are moved upon by ideas; hence the character of the form is determined by the prevailing ideas back of it. Ephesus was given up to idolatry, superstition, and general materialism. So we find in unregenerate man that the Ephesus center is given over to physical and sense ideas and must be raised to the spiritual by the impregnating power of the word; hence Paul spent three years preaching the gospel in Ephesus.
