A deep self-understanding or knowing thyself (yourself), which brings forth the fruit of self-love is the beginning and end, the alpha and Omega of KNOWLEDGE! There is no wisdom in the fear of God. The fear of God is neither the beginning of knowledge nor the beginning of wisdom.
Fear is an illusion, it does not exist! Only exists upon the weak and teller of untruth!
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.“ 1 John 4:18.
First of all, KNOWLEDGE is the beginning of WISDOM. KNOWLEDGE is knowing yourself. When you know yourself, you understand yourself, when you understand yourself, you love yourself. Remember, loving yourself is loving everything, because you are everything. You are not the dot in the universe, you are the universe. you are bigger than your physical body.
Now, when you know yourself and live accordingly, a vast understanding of your reality manifest itself in your being and that is WISDOM. Wisdom is simply the collected energy of your eternal life experience and knowledge.
Fear has nothing to do with wisdom. The God-head does not want to be FEARED, only wants to be LOVED with all your energy. I want to be loved, I do not want to be feared, ”you” want to be loved, ”you” do not want to be feared. It is only the devil and Its demons that want to be feared. The devil is one’s own self IGNORANCE.
The God-head has yet to say fear me, instead he said, LOVE ME:
”Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27.
One might think, fear stems from reverence or respect or even love. No! Fear does not stem from reverence or love.
Here is the reality check.
You have respect for a person who is younger than you right? hoping the answer is affirmative; I am sure you do not fear that younger person, you simply respect and love that youth.
The respect you have for any being should not come from fear, it should come from Love. Love is the answer and that love is nothing but self-love. Loving thyself is loving God or thy neighbor, because you are exclusively God and thy neighbor in one consciousness.
Know Thyself.
The only thing that exists in the whole UNIVERSE (Cosmos) is the I, Myself and I am that I am. No one exists outside of myself. There is no really you. ”You” are the perception of me!
This is what Christ said in his teachings: “That they all shall be one, just as you, my Father, are in me, and I am in you, so that they also shall be one in us.“ John 17:21.
“And the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.“ Acts 4:32.
Everything that seems to exist in the external world, including ”you” is inside my heart. From the Ghion river to the furthest planets and stars are within the mind.
We hear the head professor, Christ, preaching again: “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.“ Luke 17:21.
Reality or what you see and experience daily is nothing but the perception of your thoughts. What you see in the outside realm or reality is the electrical signal (image) formed at the back of your brain. Your reality is your mental image. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
Here is the REALITY check.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…..through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.“
Word is thought that exists in the heart, Through your thought all things were made and imaged in your brain; without your thought nothing will be made that has been made, it will only be darkness (Ignorance), but now your thought is the light of all your reality.
Whatever ”you” think and image in your mind is the reality of your external world. Think about what you think!!
Wake up, understand thyself, know thyself, love thyself and live LIFE.
