Human blood – God’s mirror
God is Life. Only humans were created according to that Life’s image and likeness, “Tselem” to reflect Him; so how does God see us?
Anything living has His life, but does not reflect nor mirrors Him the way we do. Any attempt to humanize animals is futile. Anyone crossing the line between humans and animals is in grave danger. The Canaanites did this and copulated with animals as those in the pornographic industry do today. This longing—to identify with animals and feel them like we ought to feel people, even more, the Creator—takes people away from the Father. Plainly said, it is the flesh identification with flesh creatures instead of identifying with God the Spirit.
God the Spirit extended Himself to us by giving us a resemblance or a copy of Himself. We are spiritual copies of God having free will and free choice, knowing what's good and what is not. This addition God also created after making the physical enclosures, "Now that man has become one of us knowing good and evil..." (Gen. 3:22). In this aspect man was sent out from the Garden to exercise that divinely empowered will. God's Spirit dwells in our physical enclosures as His gift for the duration of your earthly sojourning. When the physical enclosure passes on (dies) the spirit of life then exits that enclosure and returns to its origin
[Ecclesiastes 12:7] The spirit will return to God who gave it.
On the spiritual side, eternal death erases all existence, created or born. On the physical side corpses decay in graves or are cremated; so the residue are bones or ashes. But on the timeless side a soul may be erased from memory as if it had never existed in the first place.
The traditional rendition of hell is not perpetual, but an instant erasing fire for there is neither any burnable matter nor time. Eternity is a moment, but only to us; for time does not play any role over there, nor does gravity, light or darkness. God is the divine light. All experiences of either heaven or hell are subjective. As one thinks within himself so he is (Proverbs 23:7). This mentality cannot express the heavenly site with words, but only symbolically. Whatever has already entered the mind on earth that frame can only hold but a familiar picture.
Essentially, it is the soul that makes up a human being. The soul’s apparatus involves emotions, which are always sent to the brain, which in turn processes these signals, or not. Many, if not most people, act on an impulse instead the reason; so their brains do not sort out their emotions' caliber and their aim. By urges of greed, hate, malice or sexual lust; people commit crimes like stealing, committing adultery, perversions, rapes, bestiality and killing. The list is long. When the examination of emotions fails and the brain is not trained in morality; immorality is the outcome.
[Ezekiel 18:4] The soul who sins will die.
Confusion also occurs when our souls blend with the animal souls, emotionally. This sympathy for animals may cross some boundaries and the result is this: one begins to dislike people because the love for animals is stronger. After disliking comes despising, even hating, and then comes self-righteousness; so strong that to pull one away from it; seems impossible.
The third aspect is the neshamah (untranslatable), which is divine, this life-soul vivifies the blood. Although blood is a physical substance—and science has already produced synthetic blood—it is also spiritual in humans, but not in animals. (Some humans do not have neshamah).
ARTIFICIAL BLOOD
In the midst of news that engineered organs are being implanted into animals and people, researchers announce the creation of artificial blood for transplant.
[Wikipedia] A blood substitute (also called artificial blood or blood surrogates) is a substance used to mimic and fulfill some functions of biological blood. It aims to provide an alternative to blood transfusion, which is transferring blood or blood-based products from one person into another. Thus far, there are no well-accepted oxygen-carrying blood substitutes, which are the typical objective of a red blood cell transfusion; however, there are widely available non-blood volume expanders for cases where only volume restoration is required. These are helping doctors and surgeons avoid the risks of disease transmission and immune suppression, address the chronic blood donor shortage, and address the concerns of Jehovah's Witnesses and others who have religious objections to receiving transfused blood.
The main categories of 'oxygen-carrying' blood substitutes being pursued are hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOC) and perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carriers (PFBOC). Oxygen therapeutics is in clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe, and Hemopure is available in South Africa [end Wikipedia].
[Source: The Scientist] “We have made red blood cells that are fit to go in a person’s body,” project leader Marc Turner, medical director at SNBTS, told Forbes. “Before now, we haven’t really had that.”
The blood is created by differentiating fibroblasts from an adult donor and reprogramming them into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are then cultured in a bone-marrow-like environment for a month. Blood cells are then extracted from the cell culture [end source].
BLOOD'S PERSONALITY
Although this newly engineered blood is not completely synthetic. It cannot substitute the real blood. It can only be used as a volumizer. The real blood has the power to overpower anything else it comes in contact with; it can grow and multiply and eradicate any disease. Therefore human blood possess tremendous power.
When Jesus said that He lays down His life - of His own accord (John 10:18); He was going to relinquish the Ben Adam (Son of Man, [Heb.] human) blood for the atonement. Since Jesus is our Intercessor; and in Him we are seated in heavenly places; it so by means of His blood covering. The Father looks at the triumphant and glorious blood (life) of Jesus, which constantly arrests God's holy wrath while we keep on receiving abundant grace. We live under this wonderful grace; hence, we are saved.
[1Thessalonians 1:10] (…) to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.
Salvation from the wrath to come gives us grace, which means time and space in which we grow, attain and overcome. Without the giving up of His life; Jesus could not atone, cover nor absorb God's holy wrath. God is love.
The religious masses (e.g., mostly Catholic) are content with the basics of the church's prescriptions. Holy Mass, confessional, going to church, or at least for Christmas, Ash Wednesday or Easter etc, these are enough. The Catholic people do not long for more. They are satisfied. Most people are content with just being saved, so they dwell under grace; they love God's grace, which was given for salvation. Others long for more than just the saving grace. Still others discover that there is no physical death. Then comes a shock and then you dig deeper and get over that initial shock. The stages of discovery occur by the Holy Spirit's guidance, leadership an actions.
Now that this is clear we can also understand the mission and ministry of the Holy Spirit, which came to teach, guide and remind us; again, until we attain (Eph. 4:13), overcome (Rev, 3:21) and become perfect (Mat. 5:48). Just believing in His guidance, without actually experiencing it, is futile.
Science studies only traceable substances, chemicals and gases like the oxygen carrying blood cells. Just as our bodies enclose life, which is not a chemical structure; for oxygen (O) is not life; neither is water (HO2). In order to function these chemical components must be infused with life. The Spirit of Life comes and goes; so how can we keep it forever? Life is priceless. This life runs through our veins right now. And while you read about it you also augment your comprehension, imagination and perception. You infuse your own blood with much more than just "O" or "HO2."
[Genesis 4:10] Your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground.
Blood's personality can be modified through our thinking, words and behavior. When hurt, blood cries and when blessed, blood thanks. Because the Spirit of Life inhabits our blood; it acts like a spy, even as the all-knowing mind. God's Spirit mirrors and reflects any reality in you via your blood. God knows with what you feed your soul, something that is beneficial or harmful. Via the nervous system the soul transmits to the brain the things it emanates. In turn your brain keeps wiring and connecting. When there is falsehood, something that does not fully square with the original divine intent, which is the heavenly truth, the brain processes adverse information. Anything that does not make for peace is but a disconnected fragment. Hence, believing in something only without the proper information; as to what is true and what is false only divides and fragments that which came form the One. This explains unrest, restless thoughts, worries and concerns, but never over the right now, but over the tomorrow. People who carry the same properties will feed you with restlessness and with the no-peace-carrying words. They do this in order to sway your attention toward them and to what they want to tell you. You have the freedom and even the right to dis-concern yourself, check out and then shift into a neutral gear.
In religion we have doctrines that make no sense and yet we believe and hold on to them. And when something true, logical and perfectly making sense comes our way; we drastically slow down and even oppose the new. Being slow of heart to understand (Luke 24:25) - to accept the truth, which is plain, simple and abundantly available to us today. That's the human folly.
The reasons for this folly are also plain. We prize volume, numbers, fame and prestige above the truth, and this your blood also registers, and God sees it. Just as He sees an invader, a virus or bacteria, He also sees your feelings-producing thoughts and their caliber. Therefore, when His judgment falls it is super-righteous. Based on this knowledge His compassion is way above any human empathy, which is powerless, but God's compassion contains the healing power (Mat. 14:14).
Jesus knew what people thought; how much more the Creator of mankind knows all things? His realm contains no time, no night and day's intervals, no fragments and no secrets. This can be frightful to some who have convinced themselves that they are able to keep secrets all to themselves. In this way we have imagined that Lucifer secretly plotted against God and upon this discovery God expelled him from heaven along with the allegedly subordinated to him angels. Expelled out of what and into where? What region? How far did they fall? Mixing physical distances like height with space-less realm of heaven is ludicrous, but that's what religion is; a mixture of matter and imaginations about the spiritual things. In John 3:6 Jesus said to Nicodemus, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." No mixture - two separate tracks.
ADAM, DAM, ADOM & ADAMAH
The name Adam encloses the word DAM, which means blood. ADOM means red, from which word comes Edom. Like Easu, their forefather, the Edomites were reddish; and David was partially an Edomite. This reddish look is frequently found among the Judeans (Jews) and Cohanim (Cohen, priestly family).
Adamah means earth (ground) as opposed to HaAaretz the world, and Eretz means a land or a country. The world Jesus called the Field. In this field God hid His own treasure, which are His prodigal children to be found by His Firstborn Son. Jesus' parables explain these heavenly facts.
Some have that awareness of being His treasure while others do not, and any expressed malice betrays that other negative reality. They feel inferior so they seek to elevate themselves by some imaginary means and their theories: like the Aryan race vs. the Jewish race, etc. There were some gentiles who got converted to Judaism who infused their "Aryan" mentality into their now newly found Jewish identity.
In Jesus' time many of the Pharisees where converted to Judaism Greeks. As a result they wrote nonsense according to their imaginary reality. Evil fruit comes from an evil person. Bigotry, conceit and prejudice come from the same source.
In Israel the ground is reddish due to its iron content, which is rust, which is also found in Jerusalem's lime stones.
As God knows all things intimately and extremely precisely; we know too, but only by facts like people's words and actions. "By their fruits you will know them." This expression (Mat. 7:16) signifies something I call a 'characteristic betrayal.' People "betray" their true identity by what they think, say and the way they behave. On Facebook you read what people say. Some educate while others blabber things that neither lift your spirit up nor give you something that you can practice and benefit from. What occupies such people's thoughts are malice and prejudice, or love and care. Thus we choose one or the other, and by these choices we are known to God who sees it all before they are outwardly expressed; and to us, when we read or hear them.
[Matthew 12:34] You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.
All these things reside in your blood along with the red and white cells. The white cells act like the defense forces against invaders. Once they overcome, then peace returns to your blood, and then to your entire life as a human being. Without the infusion of blood, no intelligence is possible. Therefore blood always carries new powers, inspirations and revelations thus energizing you. When you have to defend yourself and you are on an offensive; your blood behaves according to these factors. I personally know this and I keep my cool by allowing God's peace to rule over my being; and my blood thanks me for it.
Overall, the energy of life comes from the Spirit of Life, which eventually wants to completely take over your life. That means: the Spirit of Life is in your body to stay forever. The question is this: do you want to relinquish any rights and eventually also your will? Rights to your "own" self, like saying, "this is my life and I'll do with it whatever I wish? Or, that 'this is my own body' in case of a contemplated abortion? - All humans are born through women God's most honored and chosen vessels; hence no one owns anything, especially not our bodies; for they are not ours but the Creator's from A to Z.
This true mission and intent of the Spirit of Life is to keep you alive. All used-up blood properties, which have released their energy, are spent and die, and then they are eliminated as a waste. And then new blood cells are born, replenishing any depletion. This perpetual renewal is indefinite.
With each new birth and creation of blood also comes something brand new, something creative, refreshing and renewing. New thought and new inspiration. Think about it and wait for it. It will surely come. All I do is give an idea, like a frame ready to receive a picture.
God is Life. Only humans were created according to that Life’s image and likeness, “Tselem” to reflect Him; so how does God see us?
Anything living has His life, but does not reflect nor mirrors Him the way we do. Any attempt to humanize animals is futile. Anyone crossing the line between humans and animals is in grave danger.

Stick to the peace path at any cost. Cling to the God of Peace and never to the God of war. Avoid sensationalism.

Blood at peace is a healthy blood.
Overall, the energy of life comes from the Spirit of Life, which eventually wants to completely take over your life. That means: the Spirit of Life is in your body to stay forever. The question is this: do you want to relinquish any rights and eventually also your will? Rights to your "own" self, like saying, "this is my life and I'll do with it whatever I wish? Or, that 'this is my own body' in case of a contemplated abortion? - All humans are born through women God's most honored and chosen vessels; hence no one owns anything, especially not our bodies; for they are not ours but the Creator's from A to Z.
This true mission and intent of the Spirit of Life is to keep you alive. All used-up blood properties, which have released their energy, are spent and die, and then they are eliminated as a waste. And then new blood cells are born, replenishing any depletion. This perpetual renewal is indefinite.
With each new birth and creation of blood also comes something brand new, something creative, refreshing and renewing. New thought and new inspiration. Think about it and wait for it. It will surely come. All I do is give an idea, like a frame ready to receive a picture.
Through this renewing process our blood can also become transmutable. It already has eternal properties to which most do not pay any attention. That is the reason why they do not know how to give up self or surrender to the One who gave them life in the first place.
[Mark 8:35] For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.
When blood is burdened with too many medical chemicals it has a hard time renewing itself. Not only chemicals, but also alcohol, yeast (bread) and animal fats burden your blood. All things must be used according to what the body really needs, not in excess. So listen to your blood for it will tell you what it needs and also how it is being satisfied. All things are beneficial, but in small amounts.
When you do not feel well your creativity and energy is down. Then comes the cycle of being busy with only your physical health; and only your physical enclosure; and not with what it encloses.
Self-identity holds on to self as if one made it all by him or herself. By letting go; one finds something new that was not known before. The more you taste of the new the more you want it; thus you accelerate your progress.
BLOOD IN HEAVEN
[Hebrews 9:11-12] But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation. [12] And not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
Commonly, Hebrews 9:12 is being rendered as if Jesus took His own blood to heaven and sprinkled it on the heavenly altar. This dispels logical thinking with which we should not only read the Bible, but also understand God the Spirit. This mix produces but only religion and abstract form of a belief. John 8:31-32 gives us the understanding that after you have believed or have accepted someone as being true, and what that some says as being the truth; then you must continue, become a disciple; only then you will KNOW the Truth; and then the Truth will make you free. But free from what? Of course, from the confines of this abstract, unsubstantiated and fruitless religious form of believing.
A substantiated believing leads to knowledge that in turn conditions your thinking, which in turn orders your behavior. This improved and filled with light behavior is the substance of your faith. In this substance you will find physical healing, restoration, new and more intelligent thoughts; while your overall disposition changes. Enoch walked with God and God took him. But before God took him alive, to the spiritual domain we call heaven; Enoch knew that he had pleased God (Heb. 11:15). God’s Spirit within Enoch bore witness; and based on that witness Enoch knew. The Holy Spirit reveals to us what is to come; hence, Enoch knew ahead of time what would happen to him; that is why he had completed his walk.
What Jesus "sprinkled" was His life (which resides in the blood) on the heavenly alter that was His transformed and most glorious life force. Jesus took His life and defeated death. His Spirit of Life was pregnant with the atoms of victory and with unspeakable glory. This He brought to the Father, which was instant. He did not climb up the sky like a rocket, (but a cloud obscured Him from view, Acts 1:9-11). The kingdom of heaven is here, in us and amongst us.
There is no alter in heaven, nor menorah or the Ark of the Covenant; these things are only earthly symbols and shadows. There is no religion in heaven, no rituals, no ceremonies and no pious processions. (Jeremiah 3:15-16) and this God wants you to understand it, and then He wants you to quit all forms of futile piety.
FAITH'S SUBSTANCE
[Hebrews 11:1] Now faith is the substance (assurance) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Here is the Greek text: Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων. [Transliteration] Estin de pistis elpizomenwn upostasis pragmatOn elegchos ou blepomenOn.
Is yet a belief (faith) of being expected, understanding or having an assumption of practices or matters, exposing or having the conviction of, not being (physically) looked at or observed.
My sense: faith is expected when one studies and understands the initially assumed matters by exposing (hidden truths) and by gaining an inner (spiritual) conviction of something that is not material or physical (but spiritual).
In John 16:13 Jesus said that the Spirit of Truth would teach and guide us into ALL the truth, not just 99%, but 100%. So, eventually we will know all things in truth without assumptions.
In 1Corinthians 13:9-12 apostle Paul said, “For we know in part and we prophesy in part; [10] but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. [11] When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man; I did away with childish things. [12] For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, *but then I will know fully (100%) just as I also have been fully known.”
Faith comes (Romans 10:17). It is God’s gift (1Corinthians 12:9). Besides faith being the gift it is also the Spirit of Faith.
[2 Corinthians 4:13] But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE,” we also believe; therefore we also speak.
So again, heaven is next to you, it is an immediate proximity and not billions of light-years away. The veil is unveiled first by faith and its confirmation – the knowledge of the complete truth. Enoch walked with God so long until his 50% gradually turned into 100%.
GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEAVENLY TRUTH
*Growing in the knowledge of truth brings us to the point of knowing just as we are known. It’s a journey, which I have embarked on early in my life; and now I beckon you to do the same.
Jesus had an interchangeable living body; living by means of the blood His heart was distributing this new divine life-force; by which also He was transmuted. He appeared and disappeared, He ate and had to digest food, and yet; He could abide in two realms. The same is for us. As a start we must understand blood.
Just as our blood carries the life-force and vivifies not only our bodies physically, but also our intellect, so the same do words that come from heaven. The man-made artificial blood only mimics the real blood, but what it lacks is the inspirational aspect of the Spirit of Life.
You can be biologically quite normal, but not spiritually. The more you dwell on things divine the more impregnated with the Spirit of Life your blood will be, which then stirs your neshamah (also known as the Divine Soul or a realm of divine inspiration).
Nephesh Bahamit (animal soul) relates only to the blood's biological aspect; while the life-force stirs Nephesh Elokit (Divine Soul) in our physical enclosures.
Whichever takes preeminence determines the outcome. One is a bunch of nonsense some call spirituality, and another completely fleshly and natural thinking, not understanding anything about the right-within-us and the next-to-us spiritual realm (heaven). It is as close as a speck of dust on the tip of your nose. So train your mind to think in terms of the present and the now.
PEACEMAKERS' GLORY
The planet Earth longs for peacemakers who are God’s sons. Synchronize these verses starting with the mission of the Spirit of Truth in John 16:13 then Matthew 5:9 and Romans 8:14 & 19. Instead, we talk about the Antichrist as if we can't wait to see him, the beast, false prophet, Armageddon, the four horses of the Apocalypse; these things excite, but only the natural senses. God sees it all, for it runs through your blood. This fleshly excitement robs your blood of other heavenly properties. Eventually the system is overloaded by being weighted down with fears of the unknown and still in the future.
Naturally so, we want to know, in order to feel more secure or feel important. The longing for freedom, stability and the fear-dispelling knowledge must come not from man’s intimidating and jaw-dropping imaginations, but from the realm of peace, which is heaven. That which comes from below are: timidity, ignorance, and insecurity; fueled by speculations. These negative factors do not promote confidence, trust or peace, but something one must face as an enemy; hence, with a combative attitude. Humanity is lost in those combative sentiments, longing for true peace, but does not know how to obtain it.
Did you choose to stand in the middle; between the Good God on the right; and the evil Satan on the left? If so, then you are the lord who decides who is who and who is doing what. You are in a war zone trying to help yourself. Once you get the Truth and get reformed you gradually step out from that war zone with all its negatives; and rise to the realm of the complete peace. No wonder that the Aaronic Benediction (Numbers 6:22-26) ends with Shalom (peace); the greatest blessing in the Universe, but that peace is not from this world (John 14:27); it is heavenly.
