In my Father's house are many mansions: KJV(John 14:2).
What exactly does that mean? Let's decipher it together... Well, I think we can all agree that GOD is the Father, right? (and... He... IS... The Father! Maury Povich voice... lol) 'Father in this parable is GOD...
Now, let's decipher house... If house is a place of dwelling, and the spirit of God dwells within the body of man... Wouldn't it be true that God dwells within your body (the body of man); And, If that's true, then wouldn't it also be true that house must refer to every body? GOD lives in everybody, including you and I... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?: 1 Corinthians 3:16; Exactly where does God reside within the body of man??? God resides in the mind of man as man's awareness of BEING; Man's awareness of BEING whatever it is that he identifies with being at any given moment... 'House' in this parable is the mind...
In my Fathers house are many mansions: Mansions are states of consciousness, with no state being greater or lesser than any other... In your mind (your imagination) you may entertain any thought you choose at any time you choose... In other words you may dwell in any state of consciousness (mansion) that you choose any time you want... 'Mansions' in this parable are states of consciousness...
I know God to be man's very own awareness of being (not some invisible old man in the sky)...
We change what we are aware of being by activating different states of consciousness... We activate different states by using our imagination... Imagination is active thought/thought in motion... Thoughts are mind pictures, when they are coupled with emotion (when you allow them to make you feel a certain way) they become imagination, and when sustained long enough to become the habitual dwelling place they harden into fact...
States of Consciousness = Love, Hate, Health, Illness, Abundance, Lack, etc...
(every state of consciousness has an opposite...)
Thoughts+emotion = imagination (images in action)
So, the point I'm trying to make is... You are not the body... You occupy the body... You don't have a life... YOU ARE THE LIFE!!! You breathe life into different states of consciousness by giving attention to them... What we focus on expands... The thoughts we allow to evoke emotion in us, we give birth to...
In Short... In my Fathers house are many mansions translates to; There are many states of consciousness within the mind of man.
Choose your desired state and fall in love with it... Think from it (as if it IS NOW, already a fact in your current reality, despite surrounding contradictory evidence) until it becomes your habitual thought pattern, and your thoughts return there to rest (dwell) automatically (when you're not paying attention)...
That's all for now... ttyl...
