Christ In You


Angelus Silesius was one of the few that fully grasped the mystery of God. It is rare to find such men these days because most are held hostage to the various man made theologies that only create more confusion among Christians. In order to fully grasp the meaning of Christ in You, I have left a selection of poetry from Silesius' "Cherubinic Wanderer" which reveals the fullness of the Gospel.

GOD IS ALL IN ALL

God in the Christ is God;
In angels, Form Angelical;
In men is Man; and in the rest
Is what thou wilt, the All in all.

GOD DIED NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE CROSS

Not first upon the Cross God let Himself be slain,
For see! He lieth dead there at the feet of Cain.


BEING IS NOT MEASURED

Turn wheresoe'er I will, I find no evidence
of End, Beginning, Centre or Circumference.

IN THE SEA MANY ARE ONE

A Loaf holds many grains of corn
And many myriad drops the Sea:
So is God's Oneness Multitude
And that great Multitude are we.


GOD LOVETH NAUGHT BUT HIMSELF

God is so dear unto Himself,
Folded in self so utterly,
That He can never cherish love
For anything that is not He.


(yet we know that he does love us-perhaps we should ask ourselves why that is? I ask that because the answer to that question is the final truth of the Christian faith)

WHAT IS SPOKEN OF GOD IS MORE FALSE THAN TRUE

Since thou dost measure God by creature qualities,
There's more of lie than truth in thy theologies.


THOU MUST THYSELF BE SUN

I must myself be Sun. I with my beams must dye
The all-uncoloured Sea of the whole Deity.


HOW GOD IS FOUND

Seekest thou God, then must thou, Man,
First lose thy Self-identity,
Nor ever find again the trace
Of Self in all eternity.


The error of man, and of the Christian man in particular, is that he has refused to move forth in his faith but remains road-blocked by his own desires and pursuit of justification for his hatred. These things only affect him so profoundly because he holds on to his corruptible and often changing self-identity. Such men often envision an ideal future as towns with white picket fences, churches with beautiful steeples-inhabited by Godly people. In essence, he wants the old times back, but they will never come again. These ideas, as nice as they may sound, are contrived and only blur the truth keeping men from knowing God in the way he was intended to be known.

What man has failed to see is that he has lived in the illusion for so long that he has believed it. Ultimately, this illusion has not helped him to come closer to God, but has rather created in his mind an ideal God that conforms to his deeply held wishes of what God ought to be. In this he fails to understand the innermost nature of his faith, he fails to work toward his own perfection and toward a greater reflection of Christ in himself. In a word what man loves is theology, debate, and playing trivial games with the word of God. This only edifies the ego and establishes a gaping maw between man and God. If you wish to save the race, you must first learn of Christ in you, and to understand exactly what that means- that is your authority and your freedom.

The word was fulfilled in Christ. From the time of he overcame death and was ressurected into Heaven, he has had all authority. The Old Covenant has vanished away forever. The New Covenant has superseded the Old in totality. We are under the curse of the law no more.

Galations 3: 10-14 - For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them." Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through faith is righteous shall live"; but the law does not rest on faith, for "He who does them shall live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us-for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree"- that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

And:

Hebrews 8: 13 - In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

For far too long many Christians have been duped into believing the OT law is necessary to be a Christian. Paul clearly lays it out and plainly states that the law is a curse. When the men and women of CI preach the law, they commit one of the worst sins against the family of God, the judaization of the faith. Why not rebuild the temple then? Ultimately, this serves the forces of degeneration, which bring about error and death. The law has no power over man any longer. The end of that curse came when the center of worship, the Temple, was destroyed in Jerusalem in the first century revealing the glory of Christ.

Some will now say, "So then faggots are free to be faggots, and thiefs are free to be thiefs?!?" No. That's not true either. Hebrews 8 tells us plainly that there is a new law written upon the hearts of men. That law intuitively tells us what is right and wrong. It is the law is Christ in you. If you must read through the Old Testament in order to figure out if what you're doing is lawful then you should ask yourself if you truly have Christ. I will state a simple truth-there are many men walking the earth today that do not have Christ yet fully believe and promote the CI message, which is synonymous with jewishness. These are the blind leading the blind, and eventually they will face judgment for continuing to practice the things God had destroyed for their curse and imperfection.

The Great Sifting



When men began to usurp the authority of God, they did so by bringing to life beings that possessed only the illusion of the divine image of God. And though these beings looked like men, their presence was dark and they spread evil throughout the land. Since these beings were void of Goodness, they were imperfect duplications of the divine image and therefore abominations in the sight of God being brought forth as contrary to his will, but still they were allowed to serve the ends of God. They facilitate the sifting, so to speak.

All of this is similar to when one makes a copy of a copy of an old cassette tape. The further the copy is from its original, the more it loses its quality until there is no longer a resemblance between the original and the latest copy. Soon the message disappears entirely, and you are left with a hissing white noise that is barely comprehensible.

In a word, some men have become beasts in the shape of men, copies of copies not possessing the divine image. We are far too convinced that even though things can bear a certain shape, or reveal certain characteristics that they too can partake in the original image of a thing. But the original has been drowned out, and what remains is a world that is “hissing” on the brink of destruction because the inhabitants have become incomprehensibly evil and void of the divine image.

When God breathed his life into the man he brought forth into existence, God lived within the man and was in fellowship with him. To put it very simply, God’s life was within man and man was intuitively aware of the presence of God within him. Though they were two, they were actually one and the same. Man was the shepherd of the earth, the ambassador of God. We seem to imagine that Adam and Eve lived in a jungle surrounded by trees and animals, but that was not it at all. The evidence of their golden age can be found in literature from many civilizations. They lived in a world that was as close to Heaven as one could imagine. In essence, man was a God upon the face of the earth, and all the beasts and four footed animals paid him homage as the earthly image of the Divine God, his ambassador upon the earth-the first "copy" of the original image.

The man God had brought forth from himself carried all the characteristics of a thing that was divine, light skin, golden hair, and bright eyes-blue like the sky revealing to the lower inhabitants in the earth that man came from the sky or from "heaven". Above man were only the messengers of God whose presence is so terrible that in the bible when they come into contact with men their first words are always, “Do not be afraid” because their very presence instills great terror when they are not veiled. Just as Moses’ countenance was so terrible after beholding God he had to wear a veil so as not to frighten the Israelites, so too are the angels of God whose very presence is utterly terrible. Such beings are always terrible to those who do evil or live in the ignorance of a world that is only a hissing rather than the playing of a divine melody.

Those NOT created in the divine image, but through the original sins of Adamkind can only hate us because they stand convicted of what they are. Mainly they are bastards and composites that cannot inherit the Divine Image except an imperfect copy thereof. They are convicted for what they are simply by the presence of the Divine Image that resides in those who come from the first father, Adam and more importantly God who does not allow abominations to exist forever. This is the only reason the sons and daughters of Adam are despised by the world. The shadows can only promote their ungodly campaign in this world because that is their nature being bastards and enemies of God, void of the spirit.

But even the man created in God's image was still a copy of the original. Not even he (Adam) was perfected even though he had absolute authority over the earth. So from the foundation, the Godhead knew that his man would eventually fall to his death, but through God’s love and intervention he could create the man perfect, incorruptible, and eternal by allowing his perfect image to be born in man. All life upon the earth is a process. And so to correct the man, he sent the perfect man, that perfect image of himself, God incarnated fully into a man. His name was Christ Jesus, the savior of the world and the savior of his most cherished creation and its shepherds, Adamkind. They alone are able to behold the majesty of his creation from the infinitely small, to the infinitely great. They alone behold the mystery and the majesty of God in its fullness.

For God so loved the world (that which he deemed Good) that he gave his only begotten son. The son came to save them from the “hissing” which is the sinful and fallen nature of creation as well as men. But still men refused. When God gave them back their internal life and communion with the divine image (Christ) as their father Adam once had, they still refused and went back to their vomit-becoming rabbis while carrying the name “Christian”. Still they were abominable and lived in their filth like little pigs. And lo did they cry, “I’m gonna change, I swear it, I’m gonna change.” Or “I’m a sinner. I can’t be perfect.” And when God sent his son so that men could come to the full stature of Christ, still these cowardly men, these lovers of sin cried, “I’m not perfect. Only God is perfect.” They loved to make excuses for themselves and to live in the illusion that God is absent or outside of the universe when indeed he is inside of you. The veil has been rent, and still man has once again returned to his vomit.

Doctrines came and went, and men lived by the word rather than by the spirit. While living in the hissing, they began to love their intellect and began to study the word without the spirit. Eventually they became so centered on manmade doctrines and creeds (made by men who knew not the spirit) that they created a falsely divine establishment called "Church" that managed to chip away at the integrity of the divine image of God that inhabited the sons and daughters of Adam. All of these men who loved doctrine eventually began, through the empty word (when it is void of spirit) to undermine the racial integrity of the Man that God had created. They sent their missionaries off to the dark lands to preach the divine image to those whose birth took place in the “hissing.” The priest quickly became a pimp, and his “orthodox” church a brothel where the men who did not have the capacity to touch the divine could mingle his seed among those who created a new God called “mercy” whose nature was "equality." Little did they understand that the good creation of God is patterned in the ultimate hierarchical structure, which reveals the diversity, continuity, and purity of his creation.

The little flock throughout time has remained just that, little. The reality of the second death waxes strong in a world that is only static and scratching-hissing as it were. “My sheep hear my voice” he says, and indeed they do even though they are about as rare as a diamond in a heap of shit. God can only love that which proceeds perfectly from him. The Son, being the perfection of the divine image makes man more divine than he once was. Through Christ man can be made incorruptible-if man chooses not, he is destroyed uttermost. That is why the life of Christ in you is of such importance. Man is being sifted, and only those that endure the race to the end will inherit the kingdom. The man who says, "I am a Christian" and still does evil and excuses his failures all the days of his life will die the death. He is no better than a homosexual, drunkard, or atheist. Such a man turns his back to the divine image that comes to make man into a God-perfecting him to inherit the Kingdom upon the death of his corruptible body. Total redemption and restoration comes only when man possesses the life of Christ in his heart. All else is an abomination.
