God created man in his own image. That's why he is called the father. Women are not people.. They were devices created by Jesus Christ for men's entertainment. Things went good for awhile until Satan corrupted women and now we have tumblr feminists and unattractive women with unnaturally colored hair griping about men hitting on them and making them "feel uncomfortable".

God has been called the Father by Christianity, which is a religion developed to control the masses. Jesus never intended anyone to worship him and was telling us we are ALL God, that he and God were not separate, just like we and God are not separate. Mother Father God is unity, with the Father side representing Masculine, outwards energy/dynamics and the Mother side representing Feminine, inwards energy/dynamics. God is unity, not duality. Saying God is either specifically and solely masculine or feminine in nature is duality, which creates polarity and "opposites". Polarity is what everyone believes to be "good or evil", when in reality there is no such thing. There is only God and there is only Love Love is all inclusive and is unconditional and is God letting God know that it knows its God! The only reason we seem separate from each other at all is because we are in a low enough frequency of vibration (the 3rd dimension) to allow for the appearance of form and duality! Fear is the result of duality and is often very present in many 3rd dimensional conversations (as in many threads on this website.

Now of course you'll get those who are skeptical saying this is the typical new age response but they themselves don't believe in anything, nevermind themselves, so they are coming from a place of fear and not love. Specifically, they are coming from a place lacking self-love and do not love themselves and so see it fit to ridicule and mock anything proclaiming to be larger than the ego, which is exactly where they are coming from. The ego is the personality built around the mind, the thing that astrology 2.0 is rife with. The soul is based in the heart and is the key to accessing God within, since that is where God lives, within your heart. That is what Jesus was talking about when he said go within to find God, and why he preached love. The lack of self-love makes anything resembling the truth a threat to the ego and causes one to attack, criticize, doubt, pester, prod, and every other manner of negative expression towards said thing because there is no basis in true reality (love and unity) in the ego's belief system and "reality".

The entire point of astrology is to see that the physical planets represent something non-physical and conscious in nature (God) and to use the way these energies align with one another to solve the karmic issues that are created as a result of being in duality and polarity which will inevitably let one wake up to self-love and love of others (also the self) and rejoin in Oneness.

I'll probably get a lot of nasty replies from beings who believe the only thing that is real is the material and believe every single lie they've been fed growing up, but know that I love you all no matter what. <3

Hi Leorpio,

Where in the bible did Jesus tell you that you were...God?


Where?

Please quote a scripture. You can't because the fact of the matter is, Jesus references God as his Heavenly Father. He encourages us to seek our Heavenly Father. By your argument, you imply that which is superior to us--is us. Our Heavenly Father who sent down his only son for OUR benefit is just a manifestation of ourselves.

And you are wrong ma'am. I'm sorry if that hurts to read. But you are wrong.

Also...when do you hear the bible mention a 3rd dimension? Never. Please stop mixing bull crap with our Father.

Duality is not the reaction of fear. That assertion doesn't even make sense. Duality is the creation of God. Lions and Lionesses. Female and Male. They are creations of a great and powerful entity.

Do you realize that you are speaking nonsense? We don't believe in anything? We don't love ourselves? You're right. We can't love ourselves and simultaneously give ourselves to our Father completely.

Where did you hear Jesus say go within to find God? Where? Prove these baseless statements Leorpio.

In your ending statement you said you would be attacked by those who believe things told to them and who believe in material things. I don't believe things told to me. None of us do. That's why we are on this site. Astrology as WE know it is not popular or commonly accepted. The fact is God is real and his word is found in the bible.

Defend yourself and your sentiments Leorpio.

And budding astrologers and astrology enthusiasts! Do you call yourselves enlightened? Then how do you allow this one to unseat your knowledge of all that is good based on his own twisted perspectives?

"For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21)

Corinthians, chapter 3 verse 16, - "Ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you"

John, chapter 4, verses 10-12 and 16): "Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us. - we love one another, with this Divine Love, God dwelleth in us. God is Love and he that dwelleth in this Love dwelleth in God and God in him.".

Hi athenegoddess,

Thank you for your reply. The Bible requires that you read for context. Not for surface interpretation.

You must read the verses prior to Luke 17:20 to understand what is said. In this chapter the Pharisees ask Jesus how they will know when the second coming will happen. He tells them that in the last days, there will not be earthly signs with which to judge the coming of our Heavenly Father. He tells them to look inside of themselves. He is speaking to those who have the Holy Spirit in them. The Holy Spirit cannot be explained because it's intuitive.

Corinthians 3:16 is very simple. Again, context over surface. The writer questions Christians asking them if the Spirit of God is in them. If so, they are asked not to defile their bodies because their bodies become TEMPLES of GOD.

The last verse speaks to men and woman who have again received the Spirit of God within himself.

When our Father speaks of abiding within us, He speaks of the change that happens when we accept Jesus as our savior and the Holy Spirit as a spiritual manifestation of comfort and guidance within ourselves.

This isn't something that we are NATURALLY born with. Do you understand? You must read the Bible for CONTEXT and UNDERSTANDING. Otherwise we would be able to attribute all kinds of baseless meanings and translations to the word of God.

The bible teaches that you are an imperfect being. So, how then could the Kingdom of God be found within you?

You are an imperfect being as long as you believe that you aren't capable of becoming a christ being. when you see yourself as nothing, you will be nothing. Because your mind creates your reality. We as a human race created the world you see around you right now. A world full of hate, diseases, inharmony. The only way to create heaven on earth is to first find heaven within yourself and this is eaxcty what Jesus was trying to demonstrate to us in his teachings. That 'there can be a presence that goes before you and does all things' This presence is God that every man and woman and child has inside his heart. God is the presence that is immortal that is not of this world that beats every persons heart. Human beings due to the fall of grace have forgotten this is the truth. Humans are in a deep sleep.

If you say the only way to God is religion, then why is the world which is dominated by religion so much in chaos? And better yet, how can people who say they know God so full of judgment and hatred?


The point is you will only know God when you truly know yourself. Not by affirming that Jesus is your savior. Its not as simple as that, and the way into the kingdom if heaven is much more complex than you can ever imagine.


You have a presence of perfection inside you that only activates once you give it conscious attention. Your Body is a temple of God because inside every human body is an immortal flame that is made up the sacred fire which can never be touched by human imperfection in any way. Once a human awakens to this then the immortal flame starts to grow and the human then becomes immortal just as Jesus showed us. Jesus was on earth many years before he was ready to demonstrate christ consciousness to the people of earth. But the bible leaves out this part of his life for a reason. They don't want us to think we are capable of becoming a christ being like he did. Jesus did all this for us, why wouldn't we be capable of doing the same thing.

Jesus just opened the way for many would come after him and do great things by demonstrating christ consciousness.

Not making any assertion - might if I had the original context I read this in. Without that just mentioning it because of air being associated with the word of God, because some people (including me) consider it some kind of message to find a feather and feathers are interesting, complex structures so if there's some meaning shared with the word 'father' maybe it can enlighten on the meaning of father beyond general association & use of it as God.

So then your beliefs are completely contrary to what the bible teaches about our Father. I have no problem with that. I wish you would come to the light. But that's between you and God. Nowhere in the bible does it state that Humans created the world we live in. Do you know why? Because we didn't. I think you're a very elaborate speaker but your words don't carry much substance with respect to this conversation.

You shouldn't be quoting the bible if you don't understand what is being said. Jesus died on the cross because He love us. He died for our sins, not so that we could "find happiness in ourselves." If anything he commands us to leave our egos behind and seek the Father.

I'm not sure why you think I'm filled with hatred. I am passionate. It upsets me when people mistake bible verses and twist them for their own misguided interpretation. You'll say I'm stubborn, I'll say you're delusional. There can be no ground gained here.

Have a good one.
