Like lights on a Christmas tree.
The last part of my soul that I saw, were
these “energy-cells.”
The primary active ingredient in my soul
is of course “Me,” my spirit. But my soul was also filled with small, pure
white, pearl-like “energy-cells.” Like lights on a Christmas tree, white light
excitingly and rhythmically pulsated from each sphere. Each sphere’s energy
supply was localized, constant, appeared to be self-sufficient and without
limit. These energy-cells gave me the impression they were unstoppable, so
steadfast and determined was their pulsating light. Their action delivered an
unmistakable sign of self-sufficiency, incredible determination, messaging an
unquestionable right to be there, “expressing” an ardent desire to “be at
work.” Whatever their job was, they appeared to be very able and qualified to
do it.
I
did not decide the energy-cells should be turned on, though I assume they are
constantly pulsating because of the energy in them. There is no light without
energy- light does not flash or blink without energy. If this energy is
electrical, where does it come from? What is it supposed to do? Why would the
cells be there? Why do they pulsate with so much energy if they had no
designated function? I do suspect it is God’s created energy, acting under
God’s law, doing the things God intended for each organ or some other purpose
in our bodies.
It is very difficult to describe something
we are not familiar with or have never seen before, especially, when such an
experience is totally unexpected. I did not count how many energy-cells there
were, but would guess it would be about 100 to 125. This is the only part of my
soul I could not come to grips with. So:
What are these energy-cells?
How do they function?
What is their purpose?
They store heat, but what for?
They pulsate a brilliant white light, but
why?
They have and store energy, but where does
the energy come from?
How are they maintained?
What are they used for?
Like my organs, I have no control over
these energy-cells, so under whose control are they?
What laws do they follow?
They have to have some intelligence to do
the remarkable things they do.
Are they guidance centers or programs for
organs and/or other parts of my body?
Do they heat the body?
Are there cells like or similar to these,
whose purpose it is to govern the growth of animals, fish, birds, trees,
plants, fruits and vegetables, the planetary system, the weather, every part of
creation? Personally I do not see why not. Our body is at least as complicated
as the planetary system, so why shouldn’t cells be there as well?
Do these cells receive instructions from
our spirit, a spirit whose powers we know nearly nothing about?
Are these energy-cells programmed by the
Creator then entrusted to our care?
Do these cells have a passive dependence
on our spirit for their proper functioning? I do not believe any part of our
soul can be in operation without being linked to our spirit; the spirit and
mantle consciously linked, and the energy-cells passively linked. This would
certainly explain why certain organs deteriorate when certain aspects of our
spiritual life deteriorate. But which organ and under what spiritual condition?
I do know nervousness provokes one to urinate frequently, and this must
certainly be a stress on the kidneys. Tension, which is spirit centered, has a
negative impact on our biological functions. Fear, (also spirit centered)
causes stress on the heart and God knows what other organs. So, if a spirit
suffers through negative experiences causing one’s organs to deteriorate to
some degree, why would a spirit that is spiritually healthy and at peace with
God not ensure a longer survival of one’s organs and one’s body,
notwithstanding limits to our biological life brought about by a corruptible body.[1] Yet, even these limits are subject to
God’s mercy.[2] What is the link between Spirit,
energy-cell and organ?
When
God created Adam, he told him (us) to “conquer the earth.” [3] Now our spirit cannot fulfill such a
mission without our will, and the energy generated by our will, to indeed
“conquer the earth.”[4]
When
Noah was asked to build an arc of immense proportions, to load the animals into
it male and female, to care for them for 40 days, his spirit required great
will power, and that will power generated the energy he needed.
God
asked Abraham to pack up and leave and take his family into a land he would
show him. His spirit required a lot of will power. Abraham was very prosperous.
He had much livestock and a large family. Where did he get the energy he needed
to do this? From his spirit deeply rooted in his love and fear for God.
When
Moses was asked to take God’s children out of Egypt and lead them for 40 years
to the promised land, his spirit required immense will power and that will
power gave him the energy he needed to do this.
Nelson
Mandela endured 28 years of imprisonment and then became South Africa’s first
black president. He then released his people from racial segregation; his
challenge was comparable to that of Moses. Where did his spirit get the energy
and strength to do this? From his love and trust in God and his bitter
repugnance for the injustices inflicted on his brothers and sisters.
There are thousands of men and women too
numerous to mention, wives and mothers, husbands and fathers, teachers and
pastors, who have undertaken great things for God’s glory. They too in their
own way, liberated their fellow man. Their acts were nothing less than godly.
I am convinced that our source for energy
and power[5] is our will. When our will is fueled by
Love for God, for self and for our neighbor, we have an unlimited supply of power and energy to achieve our
goal. How could it be otherwise? Where else do we get the strength,
determination, perseverance, courage, audacity, tenacity, doggedness, and tireless persistence to “soldier” as God’s Child, than from
the will he gave us and the power to love with that will?
Is some other source of energy (energy
outside of our control) to decide for us when we have the strength and courage
to do things? That cannot be. Our will must have the ability to will for God’s
greater glory and from that will, must issue the power and the strength to do
it. No, there cannot be another energy source outside of our will in union with
God’s will.[6] Where there's a will, there is always a way.
“But," said Moses to God, ‘when I go
to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to
you,' if they ask me, 'What is his name?' what am I to tell them?” God
replied, ‘I Am who I Am.’ Then he
added, ‘This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I Am has sent me to you.’ We can feel the power of God’s will when He says, “I
Am who I am.” If God Who is pure spirit and Truth, can say he is, ‘I Am,’ I,
who have been made in his image, can also say, (with or without my body) in God
I also can say, ‘I Am.’
We have a name like his (I Am) and a will
like his while we are here on this earth, along with the authority and the
power to do everything in Him, with Him and through Him, for his greater glory.
This authority and power begins with our government over our spiritual, mental,
emotional and physical health. Your will is yours, your spirituality is yours,
your mindset is yours and your health is yours. However, unless it is rooted in
Christ, you can do nothing. “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever
remains in me (Life, Truth and Way) and I in him (Life, Truth and Way) will
bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5.)
I am convinced at conception, when our
soul is created; our spirit (with all of its inherent faculties) is performing
at its stellar best, rapidly developing our body with determination, tireless
force and energy. Our spirit (in
our soul) is totally and completely in charge of our bodily development. At
conception a human has no
brain, and even if it did it could not guide the development of a human without
direction. If the zygote person is in the womb of a loving God-fearing mother,
our spirit develops our body with speed and perfection.[7] And so again, we see the spirit as the driving power
for body and soul, all of the body and all of the soul.[8] A person is created free and responsible with a free
will. What would be so wrong for a spirit at conception, (a spirit made in
God’s image and likeness) being totally responsible for his/her own life, from
conception to death, from
an eternity with God[9] to
eternity with God?[10] It is true there is no brain present yet, but, “It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh has nothing to
offer. It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The
words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.”[11]
Such a spirit, happily and joyfully sings to the Lord:
“To me you give the wild-ox’s strength;
you anoint me with the purest oil.
My eyes looked in triumph on my foes;
My ears heard gladly of their fall.
The just will flourish like the palm-tree
And grow like a Lebanon cedar.
Planted in the house of the Lord
they will flourish in the courts of our God,
still bearing fruit when they are old,
still full of sap, still green,
to proclaim that the Lord is just;
in him, my rock, there is no wrong. (Psalm 92.)
When a person is born, he/she comes into
the world with a spirit that is pure, a will filled with unfathomable power and
limitless energy. The newborn’s eyes are his/her heavenly Father’s eyes, Love’s
eyes. This must be imprinted on the child from birth. The newborn must be
raised in his/her heavenly Father’s arms, i.e. the arms of loving God fearing
parents. The baptized spirit of the newborn baby (a Father’s will, a Brother’s
word and the power of the Holy Spirit) is called, “To love the Lord our God with
all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, to love our neighbor
as our self[12] and to conquer the earth.[13]” Regardless of our biological age, this
is the pure, stainless, unchanging eternal spirit by which we are to glorify
God, now and for eternity.
When our will is one with God’s will, and
when we are truly concerned about social justice and the health and welfare of
all God’s children, (our brothers and sisters) when we are truly concerned
about his creation, we can indeed move mountains and more.
In Psalm 8 we read:
“When I
look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,[14]
the moon
and the stars which thou hast established;
what is
man that thou art mindful of him,
and the
son of man that thou dost care for him?
Yet
thou hast made him little less than God,
and dost crown him with glory and honor.”
We have been made a little less than a God. We can do
everything God can do except create from nothing, but then there is no need for
us to create from nothing, since everything we need is here.
I suspect that our energy-cells receive
their energy from our will, since the body (organs) must be able to function at
their best in harmony with the objectives/projects our will has set for our
Father’s greater glory. Indeed, all of our being is energized when our life and
purpose is so focused.
“Your deeds O Lord have made me glad;
for the work of your hands I shout with
joy.
O Lord, how great are your works!
How deep are your designs!
The foolish man cannot know this
And the fool cannot understand.
Though the wicked spring up like grass
And all who do evil thrive:
They are doomed to be eternally destroyed.
But you, Lord are eternally on high.
See how your enemies perish;
All doers of evil are scattered. (Psalm
92)
“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will
do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I
am going to the Father.”[15]
Love for and faith in Jesus is our will’s strength and
energy supply. Now, back to the energy-cells.
Our
energy-cells can collapse one into the other without causing damage to one
another, and without losing anything of what they are. They can increase and
decrease in size without any loss whatsoever. When one considers that they once
inhabited the zygote cell, and these same energy-cells will one-day help to
“operate” an adult man or woman, it is simply mind-boggling.
Upon
return to my body, the energy-cells instantly dispersed throughout my body.
They knew where to go and do what they had to do. I firmly believe these cells
are under the conscious and subconscious guidance of my spirit, i.e. my will to
survive and my intellect. Is it from my will that they receive their power and
are “tuned” to perform at their best? Are they the foot soldiers on the front
line guiding and watching over my organs?
Father, thank you for opening this door.
Persons better qualified than me can take these matters further. May they
respond lovingly and joyfully to your merciful revelation. At this stage I can
say with certainty, our soul and our body are subject to our spirit. The more
we know about our spirit, the more we can influence our soul and ipso facto,
our body.
It is a great and wonderful thing, to
realize that our soul (spirit, mantle and energy-cells) is now known and
present to us. We can truly live, conscious that we are indeed body and soul.
This knowledge can assist us to live increasingly what we are and who we are, a
body in a soul. May this make us more and more Children of Light.
At death, we [16] will leave our body knowing that our body (not us) has finished its task and we, the complete person that we are, spirit and soul, can continue on to the Lord our God, loving and praising his name until body and soul are reunited once again. Love, glory, praise and thanksgiving to our God forever and ever. Amen.

[7] Unless
outside forces hamper it, i.e. a sick mother, a mother who smokes or drinks or
is on drugs, or a mother who is subject to abuse and violence or a mother who
cares not for herself or her baby. The zygote body is in a partnership
relationship with his/her blessed mother. Her body is a resource for the
zygote. If she fails to live up to her end of the task, the zygote person
cannot but be hampered in healthy growth and development. This person will
carry a physical or emotional/spiritual scar all of his/her life. The will in
this case, is hampered in its power to will, spiritually and biologically.
Whenever the Spirit suffers, the body is made infirm to some extent, in its
ability to be strong and healthy. This infirmity can be minor or major.

spiritual relationship with God and his kingdom, and with his body, organs and
all.
