The Church in its self image is not the living Church – for such must be the revealed relationship of Divine Love; the Holy Relationship. “I build my church on You because you who are inherently worthy are willing to share the will of God

An historical organisation developed that calls itself the Christian Church – but this is the largely the result of interpreting Jesus in terms of the world – as the bringer of a worldly kingdom, or a kingdom in worldly terms, with hierarchical levels of status – ‘some of which are ok but some of which are excellent’. The disciples would fall out in seeking to pre establish a pecking order – seeking to sit in the best places! And this despite everything Jesus demonstrated and said of the nature of the Father’s unified and healing Will.

External structures can serve to express and enable a sense of order and unity - and CAN serve as an egg or embryonic phase. But they can also become dedicated to self seeking – which is to say: blinding with and binding to a false sense of self. In such conflicted mind, man is ruled by the chaotic nature of his own false gods - all of whom are reflections of a false self. This sets him against himself and therefore against his brother, both of whom are ‘cast out’ by the mind that denies love’s meaning in preference for its own.

To be given unity or order from without is to be under the law of man – even if it is called divine.
To express unity and order from within is to extend the Divine – without any need to call it anything – or indeed to create any kind of external structure.

The female is our receptive aspect.
The Church waits for the Bridegroom to fulfil and validate it.
But the Bridegroom cometh ‘when you thinketh not’!
As the Christ is lived in our relationships – so is the Second Coming realised.

If we insist on needing an external Parent – we will refuse or deny the authority within and draw such quality forth, but it remains the role of the parent to wean and guide the child into responsibility for discerning and accepting love’s will as our own.

Be you received in and by the ‘feminine’ of God, as you yourself receive, embrace, and nurture the Movement of Being; the Life and the Light.
Such is joy – such is glory – such is the wonder and the power of love and life.

I pray in my heart to let this be so – that I neglect to be ‘lonely’ in self seeking blindness.

in Love's blessing
