DETAILS OF PRELIMINARY MEDITATION ON HUMAN PERSONALITY LEADING TO SERIOUS FIGHT TO UPROOT SIN IN MAN AT DIVINE CORRECTIVE THERAPY OF SANCTIFICATION UNTO HOLINESS OF LIFE: A QUEST FOR PERFECT MORALITY AND DIVINE HOLINESS
"Sanctify Them By Thy Truth: Thy Word Is Truth"
(John 17: 17).
"Now He Who established us with YOU in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;
Who has also SEALED us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts"
(2 Cor. 1: 21-22).
"Thou Shall Know The Truth, And The Truth Shall Make You Free"
(Romans 8: 32).
Beloved Blessed Brethren & Comrades @ Zion: Greetings Of Love To YOU All! Welcome to our Today's Kingdom Devotional Diet @ Zion.
Our former Sacred TALK on same theme of SANCTIFICATION was brought to an end in the following thrilling and interesting words:
"In our further revelation on the same theme of SANCTIFICATION TALK, we shall find time to TALK on IDENTIFYING THE PLEASURE IN EACH SIN. While I do not have enough time and space today to OFFER YOU more TALK on SIN COORDINATES, I do, nevertheless, have space and time to warm YOU to rise up NOW to engage yourself on a serious FIGHT AGAINST SIN because the time left is quite SHORT and TODAY is the time of SALVATION through FAITH in LORD JESUS CHRIST De MESSIAH Who died for Mankind and comes again in Power and Glory in His Holy SABBATH Millennium Kingdom Reign to TAKE US HOME".
Indeed, our previous sacred expository TALK reveals an introductory "Divine Corrective Therapy To Contemporary Moral Decay" revealing earnest "Christian/Zionist Vital Steps At Preliminary Meditation" to discover SIN in Man along with sacred "Invitation To Repentance And Prayer".
Fortunately, we discovered that SINS OPERATE in ASSOCIATION, they work in clusters of social intercourse to afford Man who is their VICTIM with deceitful PLEASURE, which is entirely destructive and leading to man's spiritual damnation, Doom and eternal REGRET in HELLFIRE. For instance, the SIN of ENVY operates with an individual PRIDE and may be assisted in a strong tendency to SELFISHNESS (Lack of consideration for others). In a case where the human VICTIM lacks FAITH in God, YOU may notice that the original SIN, ENVY, becomes so dominant in the personality and such that the victim becomes VIOLENT, QUARRELSOME and possibly WICKED.

Before we delve into a discovery of each SIN, permit me, first and foremost, to lend adequate significance to a revelation of HUMAN PERSONALITY for a proper understanding of human nature and its operation faculties involved.
PRELIMINARY MEDITATION ON THE HUMAN PERSONALITY
(i) BASIC CATEGORIES
We can conceive of Man in terms of a DUALITY. We can say, "Man is a "Physical Being". We can also say, "Man is a "Spiritual Being". In cruder terms we can say "Man is SPIRIT, Man is MATTER. In more meaningful terms we can say "Man consists of an interweave of a physical and spiritual nature". That is to say, the nature of man as a living entity on earth is at once both physical and spiritual. This is the meaning of the EXISTENTIAL DUALITY which we say is peculiar to man.
But the concept of DUALITY does not in itself tell the whole story about man. We can examine the living physical body and see it in terms of a complex of systems intertwined and interacting towards common existential goals. Similarly, the spiritual aspect of man can be conceived in terms of manifestation of Self.
At the lower level we can talk of a spiritual body or astral body. At a level higher than that we can talk of man as a bubble of energy system in space. We can even go beyond form and energy systems and discuss man as simply a Differentiated Self-knowing Consciousness or as an Authonomous Unit of Will-manufacture and Thought-projection.
LET US PERFORM A LITTLE RECAPITULATION
MAN IS MATTER ~ Elements, Compounds, Minerals, Salts, Gases, Molecules, Electrons, Electric Current, Mechanical System, Electronic System, Physical Structure, Mass, Etc.
MAN IS AN ORGANISM ~ Allotropic Growth, Cells, Juices, Hydrodynamics, Fluids, Wave Propagation, Systems of Audition, Systems of Disposal, Etc.
MAN IS AN ANIMAL ~ Locomotion, Instincts, Drive, Psychic Identity, Etc.
MAN IS A SPIRIT ~ Died 10 Years Ago, Seen Today, Dreams, Talks With Demons, Inagines, Thinks, Invents, Prays, Etc.
All these are interesting in themselves except that we cannot pursue them further since we do not plan to engage in METAPHYSICS here. Once we are able to grasp that man is DUAL in nature and that this DUALITY is not a segregated DUALITY but a deeply pervasive and dynamic DUALITY, we are all right for our purpose. We should also know and realize that in terms of hierarchy of existence, the SPIRITUAL is higher than the PHYSICAL and that the SPIRITUAL can control the PHYSICAL willy-nilly but the PHYSICAL can only affect the SPIRITUAL and not really control it. That is to say that the INNER LAYER OF MAN, which is really intangible and invisible is far more powerful over the visible LAYERS OF MAN and far more influential in the universe of Man than the PHYSICAL or LOWER LAYERS OF MAN. The more obscure aspect of Man is more powerful than the more obvious aspect of man That is a paradox but nonetheless an important truth.
This might appear unbelievable to a material mind, but YOU must MEDITATE on it until YOU fully understand it and believe it.
LET ME PUT IT DOWN AS AN EXISTENTIAL AXIOM.
AXIOM 2B1
* The Inner Self Is Greater Than The Outer Self.
* The Spiritual Self Is Greater Than The Physical Self (In terms of selves).
* The Spirit Is Greater Than Matter.
* The Spiritual Body Is Greater Than The Material Body (In terms of bodies).
* The I Who Thinks Is Greater Than The Mind By Which It Thinks (In terms of the hierarchy of the innerself).
We can express it in many more PERMUTATIONS but the meaning of the axiom is the same. We shall refer to it in subsequent exposition
I'm now going to concentrate briefly on the Spiritual Segment of the HUMAN DUALITY. The lessons which we shall learn shall be useful to us in the spiritual exercises of SANCTIFICATION. YOU may wonder how. YOU just hang on in faith. The LORD has SURPRISES waiting for YOU, pleasant SURPRISES!
* The Indwelling Divine Spirit is supreme in the Self but it operates with some identifiable components which we can conceive as:
(a) THE EGO ~ A sense of Corporate Self. A deep sense of distinction between Self and other Selves.
A wholeness of consciousness of individuality of being. The EGO is a name that is sometimes applied to the whole of Inner-self. I prefer to see the EGO as a significant component of the Indwelling Divine Spirit. So we can also call the EGO the immediate phenomenon behind consciousness releasing the manufactured Will. The indwelling Divine Spirit is ultimately responsible for the discretionary manufacture of Will. A substantial automatic disbursement of pre-manufactured Will seems to have been delegated to the EGO. So it seems as if the EGO itself manufactures Will.
We shall however distinguish between the release of Will which had been manufactured and stored as intention and the fresh manufacture of Will yet to be disbursed.
Remember that autonomous manufacture of Will is one of the principal attributes of individuality. Remember also that we had defined Man as "An Automous Unit Of Will-manufacture And Thought Projection".
(b) THE I ~ Sometimes however, The I is used to represent the Indwelling Divine Spirit. So when we say The I wills we are in reality saying the Indwelling Spirit manufactures Will and The EGO is disbursing it. The I thinks, that is, it engages in the shuffle of ideas, called Thinking or in the projection of an idea, called Thought-projection. The I also initiates other activities such as Desiring and so on.
The most significant power of The Indwelling Spirit or The I is the manufacture of Will. This is very important. For Will is a force required a-priori for all interior activities of the innerself. The Will has to do with the promotion of Desire, Activity of Imagination, Projection of Thought and so on.
(c) THE MIND ~ This is the matrix of consciousness or the emporium of sensations - stored sensations in layers of memory, new sensations flowing into being from external environment, sensations being processed, being codified, sensation in isolation, sensation in association, tangible sensation, abstract sensation, spiritual sensation, etc.
Since it is the matrix of consciousness, The Mind is often said to perform such activities as Will, Desire, Hope, Think, etc. In reality it is The I that does these things but it is by The Mind that we know that such activity is taking place, hence the mistake of saying The Mind does them.
The Mind is a window to the Soul. The Mind is a tool to The I for the manifestation of consciousness. Consciousness basically consists of autonomous activities of The I in the generation and ceaseless shuffle of sensations to categorization, cross-matching, mapping, differentiation and so on. Consciousness is a function of several variables. Sensation is one of its significant variables.
The Mind is therefore conceived in dynamic layers of consciousness. Two large layers are generally recognized, The Conscious Mind and The Subconscious Mind, but finer divisions can be conceived if expressions such as "Unconscious, Superconscious, Collective Unconscious" are admitted. For our purpose in this Project Classification of The Mind into conscious and subconscious layers is sufficient.
Along with The Mind the following FACULTIES of The Human Personality are used by The I to effect its interior activities such as Thinking, Dreaming, Imagining, Composing, Repenting, etc.
MEMORY
IMAGINATION
INTELLECT
Some Authorities consider these as FACULTIES of The Mind. I or YOU might disagree on this. In fact, I consider them as FACULTIES of The Personality, the tools of The I or The Indwelling Spirit.
MEMORY ~ This is a psychic store, a dynamic store constantly animated by the intention and shifting focus of consciousness. It's a store of Images, a store of Ideas or an Idea-pool, a store of Reaction Patterns, a store of single, combined, complex Sensations, a store of Desires, Intentions, and so on.
Recall from this store can be by Association, by Psychic Inflexions, by Natural Selection, by Emotional Agitations and so on, and even by Prayer!
IMAGINATION ~ This is a theatre where all kinds of projection can take place. In this theatre YOU can watch a film of past events or project wilfully how YOU want sketches of the future to look like - YOU can recall, smell or listen to Voices from years past - YOU can dramatize situations which are yet to occur in reality.
IMAGINATION is a powerful astral workshop, a potent astral workshop. YOU are going to utilize memory to perform rehearsals in the theatre of Imagination for the purpose of SANCTIFICATION.
INTELLECT ~ This is the great FACULTY of Thought, of Rationalization, of Logic, of Extrapolations, of Categorization, of Questioning, of Shifting Ideas, of Splitting Ideas, of Combining Ideas, of Composing Intentions and so on.
YOU are going to use your INTELLECT to welcome new ideas, explore their potentiality and arrange their intellectual accommodation so that they can with time become emotional factors, significant arouser of passion.
With INTELLECT YOU pit idea against idea and discover the pain, of their tension or the fruits of their cohabitation.
(iii) A BRIEF ESSAY ON THE WILL AND DESIRE
We have stated that The Will is the manufacture of The I and that The Will powers other actions or sequences in the Personality. The I doesn't just manufacture Will arbitrarily. Will, whenever it is manufactured, is manufactured for a purpose, goal or aim. The firmer the Goal the greater the intensity of Will supplied towards its realization.
What induces the primary manufacture of Will by The I and its subsequent release by The EGO is Desire. The stronger the Desire for a Goal the more powerful The Will that is manufactured to pursue the Goal. The more persistent a Desire is, the more steadily Will-power is released by the EGO to perpetuate the motions towards its realization. These are important psychic laws which we shall utilize in the SANCTIFICATION EXERCISES. YOU should please pause and meditate on them.
The converse of these laws is equally true that when Desire diminishes, either the intensity of Will is reduced or the frequency of release of Will is reduced or both. So that we can say "No Will-power is manufactured by The I where there is no a-priori Desire", and "No Desire can be realized if No Will-power is manufactured or released to pursue its realization". Hence we can say "No Will is manufactured in vacuum".
Desire itself results in consciousness either from Memory Recall by present Association, by deliberate Projection of The I in Imagination, by Deductions from Sense-reports flowing into consciousness from external sources or merely by substitution to fill a tendency to void. (Nature resents vacuum).
It's important once again to emphasize the supremacy of The I over all the Faculties of Being. In particular I want to emphasize that no Desire is absolute over the Person, over The I. People hitherto, in religious and mundane circles, generally worship DESIRES as if they are immutable and supreme
My spiritual Labours and Researches have revealed that the responsibility of changing Desires is that of The I. With this knowledge comes great possibilities of Personality-repair and Character adjustment.
It's better to put this revelation as an AXIOMATIC STATEMENT:
AXIOM 2B3:
DESIRE Can Be Created By The I.
DESIRE Can Be Destroyed By The I.
COLOLLARY: No Desire is immutable in the universe of consciousness. All Human claims to Helplessness over Sin are made either out of pure ignorance of the basic laws of our Nature or out of sheer moral cowardice.
Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah came to destroy the illusion of the supremacy of SIN in human nature.
The permission of The I for Desire to exist in a Sin situation or in a Sin-reaction-complex is the secret of the persistence of Sin in human behaviour. It's important at this stage to link three crucial Axioms
AXIOM 2B4:
"Every Sin Is Parasitical On The Human Will Complex For Its Existence, For No Sin Has Any Inherent Power Of Self-renewal".
AXIOM 2B5:
"Every Sin, Every Virtue Operates On An Inherent Pleasure Principle.
AXIOM 2B3:
DESIRE Can Be Created By The I.
DESIRE Can Be Destroyed By The I.
Since The I manufactures The Will and since any particular Desire - which is The Memory Factor of Pleasure once enjoyed or to be enjoyed - can be DESTROYED, then the purported immutability of SIN in Man is untenable. Sin can be DESTROYED. The fullness of the technique in its proper sequence will be released soonest. Let us wind up this current sacred TALK with some simple definitions that will assist our future Meditations on SIN and the Works of Righteousness.
SOME COMPLIMENTARY DEFINITIONS TO WARM OUR HEARTS
EVENT ~ Define an EVENT as a complex of ACTIONS with or without REACTIONS.
ACTION ~ Define an ACTION as either a MOTION of the Will to or from a Goal or an Incidence of Will manufacture by The I for eventual or immediate release by The EGO.
THOUGHT ~ Define a THOUGHT as a complex of IDEA UNITS in Association-Dynamics or Disassociation Dynamics.
IDEA ~ Define an IDEA as a GERM, a SEED for ACTION-VECTORS.
HABIT ~ Define a HABIT as a sufficiently repeated ACTION, and therefore, repeated ACTION or THOUGHT PATTERN in the Human Personality.
Every HABIT is founded on at least one idea firmly held in the mind, constantly activated by at least one Desire-factor which in turn guarantees it a groove in the matrix of Action-Reaction Complex.
On the other hand, HABIT can be perceived simply as a "Pre-existent Association Matrix In The Psyche".

PRELIMINARY PRACTICAL MEDITATION EXERCISES
(1) First and foremost, TAKE A BAD ACTION which YOU have recently performed in THOUGHT or in WORD or DEED, just one Bad Action.
Now using your knowledge enhanced with our discussion in this sacred TALK, TRACE its biography.
TRACE the biography from its beginning as far as YOU can probe, to its maturity as far as YOU can determine.
Do this Exercise TWO more times.
Try to find out whether YOU learnt anything from the Exercise. Did the Exercise trigger any idea in your mind. Did it TEACH YOU any lesson?
If, however, YOU cannot readily point to any benefit derived from the Exercise, don't worry. If YOU practiced the Exercise conscientiously YOU would have gained something even if YOU cannot express it. Your gaining something is more important to me than your expressing it, OK.
(2) MEDITATE ON THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS:
* SIN is a pain generating event.
* SIN is a pleasure producing event.
Do YOU agree with any or both of them? Why do YOU agree? Cite examples. Why do YOU disagree? Cite examples.
Is it possible for the TWO STATEMENTS to be true simultaneously? Try to find typical examples. Can YOU discover the difference between "True simultaneously and true equally"? If YOU cannot, don't worry, OK.
Just note that the TWO STATEMENTS cannot be true equally though they can be true simultaneously. Unfortunately, I will not supply a philosophical proof of that NOW, but YOU are at liberty to try if YOU are philosophically inclined.
(3) SIN Is A Corpus Of Misplaced DESIRE Forces.
* Do YOU agree? Why do YOU agree?
* Do YOU disagree? Why? We can write an Essay on that.
(4) SIN Is A Wrong Idea. This is the beginning of an Essay on SIN. Can we develop it into a Two-page Essay? YOU can have recourse to the discussion we have had on the TUTORIAL of SIN.
❤️ BE A BLESSED AND FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN BELIEVER AND ZIONIST SEALED UNTO ETERNAL LIFE AND GLORY THROUGH
SANCTIFICATION UNTO HOLINESS OF LIFE ❤️
Finally, we are admonished to examine our Ways and Religion. The Holy Scriptures said: "Let us search and try our Ways and turn again to The LORD".
(Lamentations 3: 40).
And, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1Thess. 5: 21).
Do not be a sentimental Christian or Zionist living in SIN; but, be a sanctified Kingdom Saint @ Zion in Glory Above.
Make sure of all things and hold fast to what is fine. Make sure your Name is written in the Holy Book of Life NOW!
(Philippians 4: 3; Rev. 20: 12, 15).
.jpg)
We are called to be holy and faithful, SANCTIFIED by the Holy Word of God and SEALED unto Eternal Life and Glory by the Holy Spirit of God. We are called to be righteous and holy Christians and Zionists in Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah Who loved us in Peace and died for our Eternal Salvation.
In fact, Him alone I seek Who died for us! Him alone I desire Who is the end of my holy aspirations! At best, this is the sole gain that is laid up for me. What about YOU? PRAY.
God bless YOU forever.
