The past few entries leads me to the fourth missing link that Father has shared through Linda's insights. Word in brackets have been added by me:
Linda: Basically, ...Father has been addressing topics where we have a division of our energy. They are in fact actually ways in which we put [deception] / someone else before the Father [Way / Universal Truth].
Linda and I call this division of energy a "split mind". On one side of the split we want / believe one thing, and on the other we want / believe something opposite.
For example, seeking restoration to Truth of Self which moves energy down the spine, while consciously seeking to attain this by moving energy up the spine. Or seeking True Enlightenment which ends our play in the unrighteous - unholy game, while seeking to master the framework of deception / be at the top of the chain.
We can't go about Truth by means of the deception. To do so is to place the ways of deception above Truth or the Father Way. Father has been addressing the ways in which we think the answer to our True Desire is found by following the framework of deception.
Linda: That proverbial verse in the bible which says “thou shall have no gods before me”. I'm not saying that this is that commandment, what I'm saying though is that this is probably where that thought originated. That in fact there are many things that we can desire or seek that end up coming before our journey with the Father. "Oh yeah, I’m going to do my walk with the Father but first let me do this, take care of that". It is like Jesus said to the guy: "let the dead bury the dead". That was pretty radical: rather than burying your father and then walking with Father, walk with the Father. Obviously the guy had other family members that could attend to the burial. It was simply his positional responsibility within the family.
Inherent in this is the fact that then there would be something else to attend to, and something else to attend to... which is True for all of us. There is always going to be something else: "well just let me do this and then I walk with the Father. Well, now that this is done, there is this one other little thing that has come up. Well I never realized I had to attend to this...". It is kind of this perpetual healing process, there is always going to be something until we decide that enough is enough and that the Father sees us as we Truly are right now.
It is only we who are participating in the deception who are asleep in the deception. Who seek this state of perfection before we can walk with the Father. Even if in our own eyes we cannot see ourselves in our perfection (mistakes, injuries and all), if we can simply accept that the Father sees us in our perfection and He asks nothing else of us for us to walk with Him. Yet we go to Him continuing to seek the end of our imperfection. Placing that before Him.
What Father is Saying is that all we have to do is stop putting other things [the ways of deception] before Him / [the Truth]. He is always the last thing we are going to get around to. And it may be the case that we have stopped that cycle with everything but one thing. As long as there is one thing that we have to tidy up, finish up, end, receive, we keep ourselves asleep in the deception.
In every choice we make we must choose to further our journey with the Father. There cannot be one choice during the day that is more important to us to put before the Father. Because there are many things that we do throughout the day that have no impact on our journey with the Father, we kind of are lulled into forgetfulness. Rather than 'standing porter at the portal of our mind',as Mary Baker Edy would say, we are lulled into that forgetfulness.
Father has no concern for, no blame for the fact the unrighteous unholy attack us. His only concern is that we not receive it, that we keep our mind on Him.
Keeping our focus on Father and Truth is what allows our Guiding System to realign itself Properly. It is what allows us to see outside the framework of deception and to stop playing their game. It is what allows us to recognize what to do and how to approach what is to be done in a way that actually supports our Desire to be restored to the Truth of Who We Are. It is what allows us to recognize that the change in direction of flow is a sign of success rather than failure... (and it does take some time to get used to the change).
