Perfection part 4

Logos and the Fullness sought a solution to overthrow what had come into being through the Deficiency. With the blessing of the Father they produced a Second Order of Powers, patterned after themselves. Creating the Second Order of Powers. This new fruit embodied numerous abilities that were better and greater than those belonging to the Imitation. Moreover, the Second Order Powers were formed to fit inside the limited space of the boundary rather than the infinitude of the Fullness. The Fruit of Logos and the Fullness were fitted to the Boundary. And, whereas those of the Imitation were blind to the glory of the Father, this new fruit dreamed of Paradise and the ALL.

These happy memories gave them a good disposition that elevated them above the sickness of the Imitation. With that good thought, they worked in harmony and love, for they had come forth from the harmony and love of the Fullness and the Father. The Second Order of Powers reflect the values of the Son and all of the capabilities, stations, and names of the Fullness. Logos and the Fullness produced the Second Order of Powers to dwell within the Boundary below, but they were instilled with a memory of the Fullness and their Father. While these newly formed beings were not equal to the Aeons of the Fullness, they were legitimate heirs of their good disposition. Whereas those of the Deficiency emerged from the Fall, “those of the Remembrance” arose from the Fullness. Those on the left are only counterfeits, whereas those on the right represent true Virtues of the ALL.

It was decided that the Second Order Powers would enter the Deficiency one by one, from the lowest stations on up, in their full profusion of functions and forms. In this way, the Deficiency came to be populated with Powers from the Fullness. Whenever the Second Order of Powers came upon those of the Imitation, they naturally attempted to overthrow them out of an inherent sense of self-righteousness. With great zeal, those of the Remembrance pitted themselves against those of the Imitation. Those of the Deficiency are locked in endless war with those of the Remembrance. Then, a strange and tragic thing happened. Although the "Likenesses" resembled the original Aeons of the Fullness, they forgot themselves and their origin in the confusion. Due to the "Law of Mutual Combat," the Second Order of Powers became infected with the same lust for dominion that ruled those of the Imitation, and the two Orders entered a never-ending war over resources in the bounded ecology of the economy. It was during the endless war for dominion that a tremendous variety of matter and all sorts of powers were mixed with one another.

This explosion of forms and abilities was not a failure on the part of the Father and the Fullness, rather, it was needed to bring about a transformation of the Deficiency in preparation for an economy yet to come. The Christ, the fullness, the redeemed, the second order of powers and the deficiency. The Second Order Powers battle the Imitation, hoping for rescue from Above. The Aeons next set about restoring memory and reason to the Second Order of Powers. To doso, the Aeons of the Fullness, every one individually and ALL of them collectively, gave glory in unison to their Father while praying for a helper to bring peace to the Deficiency and restoration to Logos. The Aeons produced a Fruit bearing the image of their Father; and that Fruit carried within itself their various forms and powers. This One Fruit then took on many forms so those of the Remembrance would be able to recognize and welcome their Redeemer. In this manner the Christ took charge of the economy and proceeded to carry out His revelation, one soul at a time.

The Fruit of the ALL and the Father, the Christ, the Savior and Redeemer, the Advocate, the Light, the Beloved The Fruit of the ALL first shone its Light on those Second Order Powers who had lost their vision and wanted to see again. These Powers had a small inkling that something higher existed prior to them, and they were not surprised by the revelation of the Light. It felt comforting and familiar. Those of the Remembrance joyfully greeted the Light, and they were awakened from the ignorance of the Deficiency and made whole.

Those of the Remembrance were given chariots like those of the Aeons that could traverse all realms, great and small, establishing order. Working in concert with knowledge from the Fullness and power from the Father, the Redeemer’s chariots brought the cooperative hierarchy to Earth, and organized systems began to displace the chaos of the Imitation. Those who were nowenlightened felt the power of the Redeemer inside themselves, sharing and relieving their suffering, allowing them to thrive, making them grow. The Aeon, Logos, who had first fallen, and then created and abandoned the Deficiency, prayed for a final economy that would rescue all those who had gone forth from him, including those still clinging to the Imitation. Christ the Redeemer, the Fruit of the Fullness, embodies the love of the Father and the attributes of the ALL.

Humans were endowed with reason so they could remember their aeonic inheritance and repent of their tenacious claim to material life. Repentance is more difficult for some than for others, and so humanity sorted itself into three essential kinds: spiritual, psychical, and material. The “spiritual” kind sees the truth of the Word, and they gladly repent of their ignorance and accept redemption. Their eagerness to rejoin the Father removes from their minds all doubts concerning salvation. Those who are redeemed by the Christ are unshackled from the chains that bind the material and psychical orders to this world. The Redeemed have been given enough desire for the things of this world to feel comfortable, but not so much as to rejoice unduly in its glory. In this way, they are freed from attachment to the Deficiency. The Christ also sowed in them an ability to reason concerning spiritual matters. These are the prophets, evangelists, and teachers of the Word, whose job it is to help their brothers and sisters remember the Father. The Second Order Powers are called “psychical ones," because they are endowed with “psyches,” or minds. These psychical ones were created by the Fullness praying as One. Their unified origin causes them to be cooperative, communal beings.

These people believe they are moral enough, taking into consideration all of life’s challenges and the compromises one must make. They are good citizens who do their best to help neighbors, friends, and family. The psychical ones recognize the Father and the Light, but their better nature has been derailed by continual battles with the Imitation. They remain confused as to the nature of the warring Powers, for sometimes good works come from the those of the Imitation, and sometimes passions prompt the psychical ones to rage. Meanwhile, both combatants claim the moral high ground, though both ignore the Father’s guidance. Those of the Remembrance are content to sense a distant assurance of Paradise, and occasional glimpses of the Father’s glory, but they are in no hurry to repent and return. This lack of urgency prolongs their suffering. The phantoms of the Imitation, on the other hand, were unprepared for the coming of the Light, as they had come from darkness and could not comprehend it. To them, the Light came as a terrifying flash, driving them ever deeper into the shadows.

Those clinging to the Imitation are called "material ones" because they cannot discern the spiritual realm, and ignorantly behave as if matter is all that exists. These are successful materialists who have no inclination to replace the Imitation with the Light of the Father. They mock believers, believing themselves vastly superior to those poor, deluded fools. The material ones do not embody true self-consciousness or love for others only a ceaseless drive for dominion.

Those of the Imitation who are capable are allowed to rule the darkness as their own. Christ gave them this dominion so that they, too, although oblivious, might become useful for the economy that was yet to come. Ultimately there comes a day of reckoning, for the spirit cannot be denied forever. The Redeemed Third Order Powers find themselves in the world, but they are no longer of the world. Meanwhile, the Second Order Powers continue to battle those who cling to the Imitation, both refusing to abandon their rage for redemption. The Messiah entered history to bring an end to the economy that sustains life on Earth. Christ came into the world to redeem all of creation by materially manifesting his body and blood. Salvation comes also to the Fullness above and to Logos in particular, the Aeon whose presumptuous thought and Fall brought this creation into existence.

Christ first raised human beings above the other Powers by endowing us with the ability to reason, remember, and glorify our Father and the ALL. Christ's incarnation as Yahusha of Nazareth, and the spilling of his blood onto the earth, brought the Aeons of the Fullness face to face with the agony of material life and death. In this way, the Son and the ALL took our suffering upon themselves and experienced the transitory isolation of physical death. The Fullness dreams of Paradise.

This is the mystery of the birth of the Christ that the inconceivable, ineffable, invisible, and ungraspable One was conceived, expressed, made visible, and able to be held, touched, and cradled by humans. Yahusha HAMASHIACHdemonstrated, through His life, death, and resurrection, the power of Virtue and Light to overcome the confounding Imitation and the darkness of the Deficiency. Humans were designed by the Aeons to become the “truly existent living images” of themselves they had always imagined themselves to be in their dream of Paradise. Yahusha the Christ was both "fully human," with human inheritance from his earthly mother, and "fully God," entwined at conception with inheritance from his spiritual Father. Within the body and blood of yahusha flowed the perfected instantiation of the Father and the Fullness. In this manner, Restoration came to the Deficiency below.

Redemption means returning to the Father's abode--that Paradise dreamed by the Fullness, where there is no death, no disease, no disappointment, and no deficiency. That Paradise where Christ is King and peace reigns supreme, and there is only cooperation, fellowship, and true love. In Paradise there is naught but life; so all the grass is green, and flowers blossom endlessly, and every soul that has ever lived, lives happily with their friends and families. Repentance allows one to grasp the love of the Father and so return home to Paradise. Christ the king, the fullness, the elect, the third order of powers, the second order, the called and the phantoms of the imitation the outer darkness, hades. The final sorting of souls on Judgment Day. With the coming of the King, the final Kingdom is at hand. For not only did the Christ incarnate in that body, but so, too, did the Angels and the powers of the Fullness. In this manner, the preconditions for the final economy were put in place, for the ALL has been manifested in the Son. There will soon come a day when the Deficiency ends. On that day, a new economy will unite Heaven and Earth, and all souls will find their place in Paradise.

OnJudgment Day, the spiritual ones who already serve the King will follow yahusha upward to Paradise as the "Elect" of the Church. There they will join the Aeons in love and unity as heirs to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. For yahusha received Redemption first, and made way for those who believe on his Name to follow him home. Those who are of the "Calling," that is, those of the Remembrance who were called but deluded by the Imitation, will condemn evil and turn away from the rage that has consumed them. They will finally be healed as, one by one, they acknowledge the origin of their existence and glorify the Father, the Son, and the Fullness. For this is the knowledge of redemption that cleanses delusion and unblocks the path to Paradise. As for those of the Imitation who embrace the darkness and deny the Light, they will be given direct vision of the ways things are, so they will no longer have to believe in the Father without proof.

Everyone in the final days will awaken to the Light of salvation and restoration, including the Aeons who broke from Logos when he fell and who need to return to the Fullness to make him whole. All of these will be provided eternal dwelling places once they have renounced the downward attraction of the Deficiency so the power of the Fullness can pull them upward. The only forms banished to the outer darkness called Hades will be the shadows and phantoms of the Imitation that bring nothing but sorrow, death, and destruction. These have no home in Paradise. The New Economy of Paradise.
