Looking at Others Grossly
Saints of God, it cannot be emphasized enough that WE are our own worst enemy. The devil would love nothing more than to have us think that "others" are our problem, when in fact we're projecting our own self-image onto them, looking at them grossly.
The LOG in our eye is "Looking at Others Grossly." This grossness is how we view ourselves. Gross means something that is unpleasant and repulsive, and comes from the Latin word grossus meaning LARGE. Whether we realize it or not, unconsciously we view others through our subconscious, which I have written about in "Mindfulness the Mind of Christ," in Chapter 4 The Language of Fruit. The acronym God gave me for fruit, is FEELINGS, READING, UNCONSCIOUS INTUITIVENESS AND THOUGHTS. Those are unpacked in Chapter 4, revealing the nature of the fruit we bear with the body and mind connection. Reading is the conceptual element of the language of fruit, where we READ OTHERS. Most times, we read others and interpret them through the guesstimation of our own self-image of what we believe about ourselves.
Unconsciously we are hypnotized within the self-image, where unclean memories are stored with the receptor of our body, predetermining our chemical signaling throughout the Body-Mind, setting the disposition of our behavior and perception.
Please saints, I know you believe you're not hypnotized about others and how you see them, but a stronghold is hypnosis, which I unpack in the new book. This is why God hates us talking about others; it puts the power of suggestion of thought into our mind, which in time enters the body.
This is why Jesus said, "Father forgive them, they know what they do." The Pharisees projected their own self-image onto Jesus, loathing their own sin unconsciously, deflecting it on the pure spotless lamb. They hated themselves and thereby hated Jesus.
Be on the wise, and seek God earnestly to have clean hands and a pure heart. This grace, saints, is the most precious gift of all, because there is peace within the heart and mind, causing you to abound in joy no matter what your circumstance. You have nothing within your members in which satan can put his hook and pull on your emotions.
God Bless,
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the currents and the rivers. 3 Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and for Him and of necessity require Him], who seek Your face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause, and think of that]! 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; yes, lift them up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah [pause, and think of that]! Psalm 24:1-10 AMPC
36 Teacher, which kind of commandment is great and important (the principal kind) in the Law? [Some commandments are light—which are heavy?] 37 And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). 38 This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. 40 These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 22:36-40 AMPC
