After reading of your personal challenges through the years I wondered, Martin, what your thinking was when you immersed yourself in the sea.
Thank you for yet again making sense of what I am struggling with; that is the need to figure out what parts of my faith would serve me moving forward. I couldn’t toss it all away, but sought to decipher what rang true. It has been daunting.
The vindication I hoped for is clearly my self-Will seeking glory. It could not be more obvious.
So I continue to just have one vision for myself: diving through a crashing wave, the quiet and sunshine I emerge into drawing me into a peaceful sea of God’s love. While swimming from the noisy shore (where the game is played) into the deep blue, I trust that I only need to live in honesty, decency, helpfulness, kindness, love. This. This is freedom.
Martin, it has been several years since we communicated, back when Twitter was open and so easy to use. I have since narrowed my focus as so many of my social media friends were lost to me as I exited that platform. I have been receiving your emails but failed to read your posts due to my repurposed attention. I’m hooked back up now.
First, I am overwhelmed with excitement at reading this post. You were not talking about your faith in the past, so I concluded that you have since had a significant, if not radical, experience. The depth of your understanding of Scripture (the passages you referenced) is right along the lines that Deb and I have shared for many years to help get people firmly grounded in Christ and dependent upon Holy Spirit to teach, lead and guide them into the adventure that their giftings and callings (which are irrevocable) set before them.
I shall be catching up and staying current on your future posts. You can’t imagine my delight and excitement at reading this post. Yes, you may have fewer readers because of it but the real truth often offends separates us from the pretenders and the shallow-minded folk who choose to remain self-obsessed. To understand the geo-political, your must have divine discernment to connect the dots of history and to separate the true intents of the heart. The Competitor never sleeps in his attempts to corrupt the Image of God in us. So, never allow numbers or false praise derail your purpose. You are in my prayers.
I will leave you with the answer that I received from God when I asked, “What is Satan’s plan?”
“To fully-debase and destroy humanity, that in so doing, he might publicly humiliate God.” COVID has demonstrated the corruption of the Image (DNA) like nothing else.
To think that I was only just in Florida for 10 weeks and could have availed myself of your acquaintance! Perhaps, when I return next year, we could find each other as I would love to meet you and your wife. Finding Christ Conscious souls is not easy. My house is in Sarasota but I live in England for much of the year.x
For anyone into the Life of Jesus, I would suggest the more complete version contained in The Urantia Book! We are each on our own Path, finding our way as we stumble along. Let's encourage one another as we go!!
I struggle with the 3D, 4D, 5D issue, as in: when do I choose which for any particular situation?
However, I have occasionally been attacked by a demon, and I have come to realize the way to fight it off is not to fight but to pray. I could think that the prayer eventually drives the demon away, but my experience is more like I shift to a different state and leave the demon fading out of my life.
I have had many disappointments in my life, where something I wanted, a path I wanted to take, was allowed for a little while and then denied. Yet now, when I know more about how evil has worked in the world to bend success into slavery, I realize my disappointing denials were actually acts of God and the spirits who love me to protect me from coming to the attention of the evil network.
So many times have worked to aid me, and I had no idea.
When I act in the world in a positive state, people respond with helpfulness.
After decades of life, I can sometimes see it happening in real time, so I know people can learn to see the hand of Love in our lives if we practice looking at our life events in a higher way.
Hi Martin, you came to my attention in December 2020 through your book "open your mind to change"
The following is just my opinion.
What fascinated me was your razor like ability to see aspects of this 3D world that we are in quite clearly and to be able to synthesize for others without your clarity to comprehend.
I have watched your journey with interest, seeing you move from externally referencing to inward which is biblical.
Personally I could not see as you moved closer to remembrance of your 5D self, how you could explain that journey.
LOL, I have been reminded that the Divine Creator has no problem working through his children.
Just one thing, I believe, if you connect to the spark you were given by the Divine Creator and ask to see the truth in the bible, of which I can only speak to the 1611 King James Version, you will see what you need too.
Martin, I give gratitude for allowing me to accompany you warts and all, on your journey.
I continue to feel amazed and inspired, and deeply humbled by your writing.
Thank you, Martin

Enlightment comes with a price. Your faith journey is God's grace. Sharing it with us is a blessing. Peace.

Thanks for your explorations here, Martin.

To borrow from The Matrix (movie), there is no conflict (spoon reference).
Martin, I would like to send you a one time Christmas gift. Where will I find "buy me a coffee"? Can't seem to find it anymore.

The parable of the challenge to the Rich Man in Matthew 19:24 comes to mind as I read your article...which led me to this brief commentary that I found enlightening: .https://k7kaustav.medium.com/the-true-meaning-behind-the-parable-of-the-rich-man-caedc8aaeefb
