Renewal of my mind

When I began to engage the renewal of my mind, God began to deconstruct my thinking and remove the pillars that controlled the way my mind worked and how I framed the world and reality. He began to show me that there was a state of being that was not affected by the memory of what has happened to me here, and that my true identity is who I am intrinsically from God’s perspective and God’s heart, who he made me to be, and who I am in the spirit connected to him in that realm.

485. Having Our Minds Renewed

And therefore, when I began to experience that, it was as if my spiritual memory of who I was and what I was doing before I came into this realm got remapped over the memory of who I am here, to bring me back into alignment with that. So that everything that I am here that does not align to who I was created to be there can be renewed, removed and transformed. It is pure.

Psalm 139, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made”, that is a poetic description of being in the eternal now, having been created in the eternal now and having engaged God’s thoughts. Sometimes it feels like perichoresis is a kind of spinning in the presence of Father, Son and Spirit, as if you are within the midst of that relational life. There is also a sense where there is a conversation that Father, Son and Spirit had in creating me that I can join in with, or listen to, as God’s thoughts about me.

448. The Truth of Who We Are

“How vast are the thoughts he has about me”, as Psalm 139 says. I engage those thoughts in that place, not intellectually but experientially. It is a knowing at a much deeper level than intellectual information about who I am. I begin to know who I am. And then anything that is not aligned to who I am in this realm is open to change, because I do not want to be shaped by my life here, by conditioning, programming, experiences, trauma or anything else. Who I am in God’s heart and in his thinking determines who I am in this realm and how I live, rather than my experience of life.

That then changes my experience of life and renews my mind to come into agreement with who I really am. People call it their perfected self or their original self, and there are many names for it online. I think these are valid ways of describing it, because it is that pure essence of who I am in relationship to who he is.

What I found is that it is so pure and relational that I do not think about anything other than the purity of that relationship. I do not feel anything other than that. It is as if life here does not exist there. Of course, it does exist, and experiences there affect life here, but there I am not thinking about what I am doing today, what I did yesterday or what I will do tomorrow. There is no thought of doing anything. It is a pure state of being.

430. Being You | The Heart of Your Relationship With God

Process of transformation

God does have a desire for the outworking of his kingdom, the government of peace in this realm, and that reflects his desire for this world. So we have what we call heaven, and heaven is made up of different realms: kingdom of God, kingdom of heaven, heaven, heaven of heavens, perfection and eternity. This is not the eternal now itself, but the closest connection to it, the highest place of ascension we can experience in the physical realm in relationship to that non-physical realm, or that spiritual place of pure God.

I found that God took me through a process after I began to experience him purely. He led me through a process of transformation that changed everything from my soul perspective, where I had learned to relate to the world I live in here, which is shaped by experience, fear, concern, worry, anxiety and everything attached to what happens in the soul. What we have learned about this realm comes from the outside in. Our understanding of reality is shaped by information and experience.

So when you begin to experience the purity of God, you cannot remain the same. Life has shaped us here, and then God reshapes us, restoring us back to the original blueprint of our design, as described in the Mirror Bible, so that we can live that way here and be transformed, healed and made whole from everything that has negatively affected us.

There has to be a way of experiencing that. So God took me into a dark cloud of encounter with him. I went through a difficult process in which I came to the point of surrendering my soul, my right to be me in this realm, so that he could bring me into alignment with who I really am and bring those into agreement.

Then I saw God face to face. It says that God hides within a dark cloud. There is a perspective that in this created universe we cannot face God face to face because of the purity of his light. Anything from this realm cannot stand there. Anything that is not true cannot remain in the perfection of truth. It cannot remain a lie in that level of truth.

459. The Dark Cloud 1 | Why Would God Hide From Us?

There is a sense where God wanted me to experience him in this realm, related to who he is in that pure essence, but in a more governmental way. Still pure relationship, but also the outworking of his heart in this realm, whereas in the eternal now there can be no problems: everything is now and within God.

397. God’s Love Remains

Mike Parsons

What has happened and what God has done—he is the same God, and he hasn’t changed. He remains a God of grace, mercy and love. If Adam hadn’t followed Eve, God’s grace, mercy and love would still have applied to her, and she could have received that if she had chosen not to continue on her own path. God would have made a way for her to be restored because his desire is always for relationship. He desires us to come into that relationship, but it requires us to let go of our own way.

Adam wasn’t deceived, though; Eve was. She was deceived into letting go of what she already had to try and attain something she could never achieve. That striving, born of separation, left her and the rest of mankind worn out, trying to become something God already saw them as. The idea of “you can be like God” was redundant because she already was like God. But now, this had to be done independently of him.

Adam chose to follow her. Perhaps it was out of a desire to see her redeemed, though he didn’t understand what would come from that decision. In doing so, both lost their identity, and the struggle to regain it brought a flood of emotions: “Who am I? Why am I here? What is all this about?” This separation affected how Adam engaged with God, no longer able to connect with him as he once had. Yet, even then, God met them. While they hid in the bushes, feeling guilty, naked and ashamed, God came to them.

Throughout history, God has continued to meet us, drawing us back into relationship with him. If Eve had chosen to turn back, would she have had to wait for Jesus? No. The fiery sword was there, and she could have chosen to enter. Perhaps Adam might have helped her to do so. But, in the end, they didn’t. They chose otherwise, setting humanity on this independent path that so many still follow today.

Jesus came to fully undo everything lost through their choices. God has remained consistent—a loving, merciful God who has always worked to restore us. This is why I don’t believe Eve would have been banished forever or left without the opportunity to return. God’s grace and mercy would have triumphed over her mistakes.

Their choice, however, shaped human history. Their line brought forth the promise of redemption in Jesus, as prophesied. He overcame, undoing the enemy’s deception. The same enemy who had deceived Eve tried to deceive Jesus in the wilderness, offering shortcuts and power apart from God. But Jesus resisted, succeeding where Adam and Eve had failed.

Through Jesus, we now have the opportunity to experience what Adam and Eve were originally designed to enjoy. God’s loving kindness never changes or fails, and whatever it would have taken for Eve to be restored would have been possible. His grace, mercy and love would always have been sufficient. Although they didn’t make that choice, Jesus came to undo the damage, restoring our vision of who we are so we can live in that truth.

396. Finding Balance: Spirit, Soul and Body in Union

Mike Parsons

It’s an interesting thing when you look at the Merkabah, the energy gates, the Sephiroth and the Tree of Life, and how they all relate to spirit, soul and body being fully in union and oneness. It’s not about being pulled one way or the other. I think being out of balance is where the soul is in control and starts taking energy, applying it for its own ends. You could call that a DIY perspective.

God’s built certain basic needs into us—needs He wants to meet, things He wants to provide. But when we’re not looking to Him, we start looking to other people to meet those needs. That’s when we start drawing from them instead of from God, which is out of balance. When the soul is dominant, it can even draw on the energy of the spirit to outwork its own humanistic perspective.

Spirit – Soul Balance

When spirit and soul are balanced, they’re not in tension or pulling against each other; they’re in relationship. Within the body, they work together. Then, when you look at someone else, you’re not looking at them from a selfish or physical perspective. Instead, you see their beauty—that is, who God created them to be. And that beauty could be physical, spiritual, emotional or about their character. There are so many aspects to it.

God wants it all balanced so that spirit and soul are in harmony, not competing. When they’re in balance, the energy flowing between them isn’t corrupted or perverted. It’s not being drawn off independently of our relationship with God. Beauty then becomes about seeing people the way God sees them, not based on what they can do for us or just their physical appearance.

Seeing People Through God’s Lens

When we’re in a balanced place, we can see people as God sees them—looking at their whole being, their aura, even the energy around them. It’s about honouring the person for who they are, who God made them to be. That includes encouraging them, nurturing them, helping meet their needs and seeing beyond the physical.

God meets our five core needs—purpose, security, significance, love and acceptance. But as sons of God, we can also encourage others in their purpose, give them security in our relationships with them, affirm their significance, love them unconditionally and accept them as they are.

A Kingdom Culture

So many people, especially women, feel pressure to look a certain way to gain acceptance. Some even go to extremes, like plastic surgery, to meet those expectations. But in the kingdom, we need a different culture—one where we see beyond the physical to the spirit and soul. We need to demonstrate what it means to honour people for who they really are.

This is where the energies within us—living water from our innermost being—come into play. Spirit and soul need to be in harmony and balance. If they’re off-balance, whether spiritually or emotionally, it affects how we live. You can’t be so spiritually focused that there’s no practical outworking in everyday life. Heavenly things need to be demonstrated on earth—“on earth as it is in heaven.”

Living in Oneness

When spirit, soul and body are in union and harmony, we have the energy we need to be ourselves. That balance comes through renewing our minds, healing our hearts and focusing our energy with the right motive—one of union and oneness with God. It’s about doing things from that balanced perspective, not from a soul-driven or selfish motivation.

When we’re balanced, we can look at someone and see the whole person—their frequency, their aura, their being—and honour who God created them to be. We can bless them with our attitude and approach, seeing them with love and respect. It’s about recognising the beauty and wholeness of the person, just as God intended.
