Pictures of the Kingdom

31 Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches." 33 Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."

44 "The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground. 45 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant who is in quest of choice pearls. 46 He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it costs all he has, he buys it. 47 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts. 48 When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away. 49 So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth." 51 "Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said. 52 "Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old." — Matthew 13:31-33 and 44-52 | Weymouth New Testament (WNT) The Weymouth New Testament Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Genesis 18:6; Judges 6:19; Job 28:13; Psalm 104:12; Proverbs 2:4; Song of Solomon 7:13; Ezekiel 17:23; Ezekiel 47:10; Daniel 3:6; Matthew 4:18; Matthew 7:6; Matthew 8:12; Matthew 13:24; Matthew 13:53; Matthew 17:20; Matthew 25:32; Revelation 18:12

After a lifetime of foolishly and dickishly thinking low of the Mario franchise, I have been converted to the fandom by SPM specifically.

I repent for my sins. Lore is love, lore is life.

Who is the pearl of great price? (Matthew 13:45-46)

Who is the pearl of great price? (Matthew 13:45-46) Not who. What. The pearl of great price is the Millennial Kingdom. Let’s look at the scripture passage below. Mat 13:43-46 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (44) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found,…

Homily-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Galilee In today’s Gospel reading, we see Jesus taking a moment to teach his disciples about the Kingdom of Heaven. Like he did when he was preaching to the crowds earlier, he was speaking to them in parables. A parable was usually a short fictional story that illustrates a moral or spiritual truth. When Jesus was alone with his disciples, He was teaching them something more deeper, then…

Two Parables

This coming Sunday is the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it. Matthew apparently intends the parable of the treasure to be interpreted together with the parable of the pearl, which immediately follows. The two parables do have common features:…

The Parable of the Costly Pearl

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Matthew 13:45-46 When the apostle Paul wrote to the church at Philippi, he gave them some insight into his background in Judaism and all that he had going for him before he became a Christian.  He described himself as “a Hebrew of…

buying the pearl.

"buying the pearl of great price" is a biblical parable from matthew 13:45-46 that neville goddard has frequently used to show how you need to make a complete commitment to your desired outcome or state of being. the parable talks about a merchant who finds a valuable pearl and sells everything he has in order to buy it. neville used this as a metaphor to illustrate how you need to let go of ALL former beliefs if you want to be able to entirely fulfill yourself with your desires.

let go of former beliefs.

you have to let go of any belief system that holds the power to control you. you have to "sell" your old beliefs or declare them and valueless and identify with the only belief — you being god. you have to get rid of everything that does not serve you or dictates your life before you can do it.

there is no outer force but the law.

here‘s the thing: you either believe in the law and that there is no power outside of it or leave it. keep in mind that the law doesn’t cooperate with other belief systems. it’s because believing in the law implies that you understand that everything is you pushed out. everything, every religion, every spiritual pathway is a product of your imagination, a creation from within.

beliefs/ideologies such as astrology, tarot readings, crystals, hinduism, buddhism, karma, numerology, christianity, witchcraft, the law of attraction, islam, judaism, and so on are all the physical embodiment of your imaginative work — if you fully "commit" to the law of assumption. they will always conform to your assumptions about them and only ever be what you make them.

you are the only operant power.

you are the only operant power. there is no spiritual power that can exist outside of you. everything exists because you do, because you are. and it’s your job to identify with your infinite abilities!

that’s why it all loses meaning once you accept that you create everything. suddenly, things aren’t predetermined and you don’t actually witness things the way you do because you are a libra but because of the assumptions you persist in.

you are still free to practice any other belief. i mean, if witchcraft seems fun to you, you can technically use it to your advantage, right? i don’t want to condemn people for practicing other beliefs because you can adjust any belief to your liking and — if it fulfills you — why not?

with love, ella.
