Today, points are shared on acquiring divine consciousness and oneness without also achieving sameness. In the same way concern for divine standards and obedience to sacred law are not generally found among babies, those who are feeble-minded and those who are immature, accountability and spiritual consciousness usually appears only among those who are committed, forward-looking and responsible. Over the course of thousands of years, using thousands of events within thousands of lives, divinity has used multiple devices to establish bodies and communities of faith that share a single consciousness, expectation, purpose, and sacred value. Included have been covenant, family, fellowship, incarnation, inheritance, law, nation, and the Son of GOD dying upon the cross. Even so, while there are certain truths all should contain to operate as mature beings created by GOD, the highest levels of our shared unity will only appear as competition, covetousness, individuality, self, and separation for integrity of being finally are deposed. The Christian believer is not “born again” as a “finished product,” and is to be taken more as an infant needing gentle encouragement, nourishment, and protection. Believers are granted an earnest or “good faith deposit” of the full eternal inheritance that has been prepared for them from GOD. The fighter at “Yahoo!

If we are all one- all part of God- one consciousness, then why dosent everyone become aware of this when one person does?
I know we are all one and that we are all made in the image of God. The thing that confuses me about this is that I heard once you realise this, Yiu have to serve and help other people realise this. This kind if makes sense to me, however, I'm also confused about why you need to help others "awaken". If we are all one consciousness then how come others don't realise this when you do? It seems like believing that you have to help the rest of the universe awakens seems almost limiting, like there should be a shortcut in terms of God being completely aware of it's self as it's wholly existence.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. (1st Corinthians 12: 1-14, King James Version (KJV)

“Antrium Aglet”, as surely as the operations of sin are by dominating awareness and self-will, many—even mature Christian believers who account themselves recipients of the imparted Spirit from GOD—often fail to make the distinction that the living are in an ongoing divine process of permanent change and spiritual transformation. Through unseen operations of GOD, the living may increasingly express the character, nature and substance of divinity whose mind and will do not come under sin. Inseparable aspects of the divine makeup must be in place including faith, holiness, joy, longsuffering, wisdom and wrath against sin. Thus, it is not so much that we now possess complete godly consciousness as that we are engaged in the possibilities for a new creation that are unfolding as comprehensive change through gradual development and growth. To express this simply, Christians talk in terms of becoming “born again” and “rebirth”. However, becoming reconfigured and remodeled in accordance with the makeup of GOD also requires speaking in terms of “growing up again,” becoming mature (balanced, complete, consistent, stable), and being made perfected (immortal, incorruptible, pure, sanctified, undefiled). Oneness and the same consciousness can exist within finite living creatures, who all endure by passing through fixed levels and stages of life (babies, tots, teens, young adults, the aged), yet, there may be no equality or sameness in their capacity for independent action, decision-making, and response. While a single message and process for sacred communication, exchange and interaction may be in place, the living remain diverse and varied in their ability, commitment, knowledge, and skill. Consider again how these ideas are stated using language from the Bible:
(1.) 1st Peter 2: 1-2, King James Version (KJV): 1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
(2.) Ephesians 4: 21-25, KJV: 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
(3.) Ephesians 2: 18-22, KJV: 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
There is far more that should be said, carefully examined, and spiritually understood. (For example, (4.) 2nd Peter 1: 2-8, KJV: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
