#38 Your building blocks.
I want to start by saying that this entry deserves its own book, its own tv station, its own exploration that is so much deeper and more explained than what I'm about to do that its not even funny. Please see my heart in this, I merely want to stimulate thought in this direction and in no way am I explaining all of your questions as we go through it.
So, building on the last entry, we're going to talk about part of the reason why you're sleeping - or least the supernatural part of you is. This may get a little heavy for a few minutes, but the take in the information as best you can and and if you're a skeptic, please fact check the science and quiet that portion of your religious brain.
There are roughly 51 trillion cells in your body - roughly. Those cells are each made of various components, but the thing they all have in common at their very core, is DNA (the only cells in the body without DNA are the red blood cells). DNA is made up of different combinations of a few specific proteins that link together and end up forming the blue print for "you."
As we break the parts of the body's makeup down into smaller and smaller parts you end up with atoms. Atoms are then broken down into particles. Particles are the beginning of our story, as they are the essence of the human experience - or at least they're going to be from here on out.
Particles have been elusive in scientific research for some time, as their nature and character can change in the blink of an eye, which makes them hard to study. As you can imagine, when scientists got their hands on the ability to slow down a particle and observe its function, they were ecstatic! This excitement lasted for only a little while as they quickly learned that the laws of physics and chemistry, as we know them, were inadequate in their attempt to quantify and label the lifespan/lifecycle/properties of a particle. One thing they could all agree upon though is that we, as a human race, are definitely made of particles.
Particles are interesting in that they have duel characteristics (that were thought to be opposing) as scientists tried to quantify them. Particles are both wave form energy (like sound and light) AND matter. This is why the confusion in observing them arose - they shift characteristics right before your eyes. Again, particles are both wave form of energy and physical matter. That means particles are both a sound and a structure. They're both light and a physical thing.
You are made up of an innumerable amount of particles that are both wave form energy and matter - meaning you are both sound/light and physical matter.
Obviously this has interesting implications, but at the very basic level my question is this: why we're only experiencing this "particle life" as a physical body? There are attributes to you that can never be defined by anatomy. There are attributes to you that can never be defined by biology. Are you catching my drift?
There are parts to your humanity, that if experienced, will boggle the minds of anyone trained in human biology. These parts are, in essence, the sound/light aspects of your particle existence. The fact that you can have duel characteristics, be 2 things at a once, is supernatural in origin. Again, you are both wave form energy and physical matter.
This means that your DNA, made up of atoms which are made up of particles, contains both characteristics. Your DNA has the coding for both functions at the same time - both energy and matter. Religion has tried to keep you bound to the natural, physical expression of your DNA for thousands of years. That's what religion is about, control. Everything is always set in a future context (DO BE HAVE). But what if, after becoming a believer in the death and resurrection of Christ, you had access to that dual nature of your existence again? Right now. As in, you're just not aware of the beautiful power and privilege you've been given.
See, there are these little things called epigenes in the body. They are like little switches that either turn on or turn off portions of your DNA that are to be expressed. For instance, if your DNA has the code for brown hair, that brown hair is not expressed unless there is an epigene that is turned on and allows that gene to be expressed.
If your DNA contains both the coding for natural (matter) and supernatural (sound/light) than that means that you were designed for both to function. The reason why we're not seeing many people function out of the wave energy portion of their particle-atom-DNA existence is that the epigenes have been in the off position and hidden.
Read the portion of Genesis where the serpent gets Adam to sin. Understand that Adam was functioning in the fullness of the wave energy/matter reality and had supernatural function. I touched on this a little earlier in the blog - such as, Adam somehow remembered the names of the entire animal kingdom as he elected to name them individually. Adam (and you) were designed in the image of your Creator - thats what the Word says. That got tangled in the middle of the crux of the matter with Satan and God: Satan wanted to "elevate his throne" above God's and God booted him out. Satan wanted to be a god. So Satan spies this dude that God created in His very Own likeliness, and thinks, "I'm going to usurp his supernatural abilities." That's what Satan was after in the Garden - using man the way he used the serpent - except man had supernatural abilities. If he could "commandeer" man the way he did the serpent, then by proxy, he was god of the earth (the word says that the earth and the fullness within was given to man).
Well that's just what happened - except the supernatural function went out. Satan entered the human genome by Ego and now Adam was destined to labor in the dust for food, shelf, etc. Read it, its all there! So how did the supernatural function get turned off? Epigenes! The supernatural, the "God-like" function, shut down in the presence of the devil. Now the presence of the devil was within Adam - evidenced by him saying "I was afraid"…. The epigenes that control the function of the supernatural within our Natural/Supernatural lives were flipped to the off position until the Day that Christ was crucified, died, rose again, and ascended into Heaven. His destiny was to become the "firstborn of many brethren" and he now appears in Revelation as a supernatural being.
Do you see this? Tell your religious mind to pipe down. You are like Him - RIGHT NOW. But you're sleeping! David predicted it, the prophets predicted it, Paul saw it, Peter saw it, John saw it. The supernatural function of Christ is IN YOUR DNA as it sits in your body currently. The epigenes that need to be turned on are not going to flip on until there is no residue of the filth of the devil left - EGO. Can you imagine if Hitler got ahold of the epigene trigger that gave him supernatural power? NO! God will not allow it to happen. EGO-FREE supernatural sons of the Father are what the Word says the earth is groaning in anticipation for.
We'll have more on that later, but for now, just get the concept. You are meant for both natural and supernatural function. You are both matter and sound/light.
You can't tell me the Bible isn't interesting.
