The First Three Attributes of Word-Visioning
Word-Vision 11
Remember, illusion can seem real only in the unawareness of our word-vision relationships. The yirah attribute restores that awareness.
Word-Vision 12
The yirah fragrance restores awareness of our word-vision identity working in the three sets and our collective word-vision identity in Name within them.
YIRAH
The fear in trauma is what disables our mind, while the fragrance of yirah enables it, making it the key attribute, bringing our mind under a clean conscience regardless of whether there is any past wrongdoing associated with any trauma.
For this cleansing only lasts long enough to learn the principle and then work alongside it, while it is the principle itself that permanently cleanses our conscience, Name’s forgiveness in Word, whichever our beliefs.
Consider first that Word can “spiritually smell (smell comes from the Hebrew word for spirit) with the yirah of Yahweh (Hebrew name for God) and not judge [according] to the sight of his eyes, nor decide [according] to the hearing of his ears,”[5] but both by the principle.
Since “the fragrance of (Word)”[6] is Word using yirah to spiritually smell our word-vision, we also can stop using our eyes to judge and ears to decide. We can stop searching for a reason for the effects of trauma in anyone or anything else that crosses the troubled conscience, troubled foremost for not loving the enemies of conscience. Freeing us from judgment, Name’s yirah in Word cleanses our conscience and replaces the torment of fear, removing all the effects of misuse of Name’s other nine attributes in Word as we apply this knowledge.
As the illusory effects of misuse are replaced by the natural effects of each attribute, we can see our collective word-vision identity in Name in the three sets of our individual word-vision identities. On all levels, the principle, the nature of life, is always at work.
Word-Vision 13
The yirah fragrance restores awareness of all our word-vision identity by first isolating anger and fear and revealing their real forms as Name’s grace in Word.
Word-Vision 14
GRACE
Consider anger again but this time with yirah fragrance in your word-vision, freeing your mind from judging. This is important because Name’s attribute of grace takes the form of anger against us for not learning the principle but instead judging others.
Then, under the illusion of an encaged conscience, our universal pupil, the pupil of our conscience, feels like it is filled with our own anger against those we hate, tempting us to work against Name’s nature in Word further. It is no longer recognizable as healthy anger from grace.
Make all others more important in your word-vision and the only anger you will see is Name’s anger for those who are not making you or others more important. Remember how you feel when you realize that it is Name’s loving anger for you and understand that others may never realize it in their own illusion. With an angry attitude based on illusion, they may never know that Word is “full of grace and truth”[7] in them also.
When blind, we know Name’s grace only in the forms He shows it to us in Word, be it an illusion of His anger or any other attribute. Referring to Name, the ancient knowledge states, “With the pure, You show Yourself pure, and with the crooked, You show Yourself twisted.”[8]
This is why so many of us in the world have a twisted concept of money, for in our sight, money takes the place of Name’s grace-currency in our word-vision. If we cannot correctly see the many forms the grace of life takes in Word under the principle, how can we understand the different forms money takes in our blindness under the world’s illusion?
The form Name’s grace takes as anger manifests in our seeing vision-pearl in a healthy way for our word-vision if we are willing to receive it. Misuse of this grace makes His anger appear to exist in a blind vision-pearl, from which we hear judgmental thoughts in our word-vision. We use such thoughts as our own to justify the misuse of every attribute in our blindness, void of our word-vision identity.
But with knowledge of how Word’s yirah attribute cleanses our perception of Name’s grace in every form in us, we take the encaged conscience captive by realizing that it is our word-vision identity in Name. This renders useless the attempt – of those unable to see this – to take us captive with their encaged conscience, completely useless with Name’s desire attribute.
Word-Vision 15
DESIRE
The light passage of our seeing vision-pearl suspends Name’s fragrance identity, expanded in its full radiance in His desire attribute, before which the oneness of desire and conscience in our three-set word-vision identity worships Him, the Name of Life.
While taking captive the encaged conscience, which was concealing the oneness, its limited shape appears in the remainder of its division. For the oneness of Word’s desire in our word-vision identity in Name only appears divided under illusion.
With yirah fragrance in your word-vision, consider Name’s desire. Unlike how it appears in us under illusion, His desire is never unfulfilled. Say to Life, “The desire of the soul [is] for Your name and Your memory.”[9]
Word said, “With desire [for Name and His memory], I have desired to eat this Passover (special commemoration meal) with you before I experience [your blindness].”[10] Experience comes from paschó in Greek. Normally translated suffer, its underlying meaning is ‘to experience’, which, when experiencing blindness, results in suffering.
Word sees our blindness and desires to let us once again experience his perfect word-vision of Name in us, but he does not unless we choose to follow the principle, the nature of love. Eating the Passover with him signifies we have chosen to follow it. As a result, his desire for us to see and love Name and His memory in each other is realized.
Word’s desire is not unfulfilled if we choose not to, because he is our life in Name. We depend on him for Name’s life, a life which does not depend on us for anything and yet provides us with the greatest pleasure in his fulfilled desire. With Word our life, we can never be unfulfilled, but the encaged conscience prevents us from knowing this by providing us with temporary satisfaction in the addictive pleasures of misused desire.
Working from the same illusion that makes others part of our trauma or enablers of our addiction, we form a false image for each other because we feel so unfulfilled. For we cannot control the reaction between the pleasure addicting us and the pain of trauma, since bodily pleasure and pain share the same regions of the brain (Cromie, 2002).
But cleansing our perception of all misused desire with Word’s yirah, our own first, reveals we are perpetually fulfilled in our collective word-vision identity before Name in every set of our relationships. Thus, using our seeing vision-pearl to bestow our view of the Name and Memory of Life on those we make more important is one of the supreme satisfactions in our hearts.
The satisfaction in false identity is addictive because, first, our misuse of Name’s desire attribute prevents us from knowing that the absolute satisfaction we are experiencing at the same time in our multi-level oneness of desire – only appears to be felt in our encaged conscience. Second, it is addictive because the encaged conscience makes tempting thoughts of misused desire seem to be ours alone or from a greater power and, thus, impossible to take captive, along with accompanying judgmental thoughts.
Under this illusion, we experience Word’s desire as coming from ourselves to satisfy ourselves, as depicted in WV-5 by the baseline going out of us and not coming in. Likewise with the baseline in WV-7, except here it depicts satisfying those whose own baseline drives them to satisfy themselves while enabling us.
The illusion works from desire encaged in a national conscience that uses images as drugs for the eyes of our thought patterns. It is never to satisfy the enemies of conscience with our shared seeing vision-pearl. But the nature of Name’s love works with our blind conscience to satisfy us with the light of everyone’s word-vision identity fragrance, directing us toward the principle and away from conflict.
“Where do wars and conflicts in you [come from]? From this: your pleasures that wage war in your members [relationships entangled in their three sets, fighting over the same images then objects to fulfill misused desires].”[11]
The addictive pleasures of misused desire are at the center of all conflicts between our word-visions, which can be taken captive only by the principle, and at the center of all wars on Earth, which can be ended by first rendering all captivity completely useless.
Word-Visions 5 and 7 pit the hearts of Woman and Man against each other when the real front lines are between seeing and blind vision-pearls. 5 and 7 pit the addictive pleasures of greed in autocrats against the many addictions of undisciplined democracy, when the real front lines are between those who use the yirah light to stop judging and those who do not. And they pit the deniers of racist histories against those who use them to perpetuate the false identity of ethnicity, when the real front lines are between the deniers and promoters of our word-vision identity in Word before Name, the one Life we all live.
The distinction between male and female, wealth and poverty, and all ethnicities are in the world only. They are not in our inner vision unless we misuse Name’s desire in Word and encage our conscience with them. Knowing this, we can use these and all world distinctions properly to make others more important without being against ourselves. But first we need to form a silent baseline with the world’s multi-level oneness of desire, the diamonds flowing in its blindness.
We have looked at the first three attributes, yirah, grace and desire, which work in a oneness with the other seven. As attributes of Name’s nature, they are inseparable, like facets of a diamond, not side by side but permeating each other.
Until we experience their oneness, we consciously work from only one or two at a time, so we need to establish placeholders of light for the other attributes still in our blindness. Facet light-holders are others who see with attributes of his that we do not. Thus, we work like shields for each other to protect us from our own blindness.
When the effects of trauma appear in you, identify their torment of fear as misuse of Word’s yirah attribute. With his reverent knowledge, realize that you are also experiencing his yirah, at that very moment, in your expanded universal pupil, and that will place your misuse of it and any other attributes in those who are your facet light-holders, known to them or not.
Then, as you recognize his yirah cleansing your conscience to understand the principle better, it comes out of the light-holders in one sense, not leaving those who see but now seen working in itself and every form of Word’s grace in you and everyone else. This frees you by revealing that you are not judging yourself nor are your members able to. For when spiritually blind and unable to smell with Name’s yirah in Word, we are simply forced to use our two eyes to judge by appearance and ears to decide by what they hear – without being joined to their seeing vision-pearl or the desire of our soul.
We have been unknowingly using the torment of trauma as evidence we should judge ourselves and others simply by appearance, even harshly to control the temptation images of our own addiction! This process works in us especially hard when we want to end our addictive thinking patterns or simply achieve greater maturity – without learning the principle.
Therefore, when the effects of temptation appear in you, identify them as misuse of Word’s desire attribute. With his reverent knowledge, know that the temptation works alongside the pain of trauma, used by the encaged conscience in a misuse of Name’s anger to take us captive if we do not yield to the temptation.
Free from judgment, take the encaged conscience practicing the misuse captive with Word’s yirah fragrance. It reveals the oneness of desire and conscience in everyone and the truth that yirah, grace and desire all belong to Word, our life in Name. The remaining seven attributes of Name in Word expand upon this process to break national addictions.
All our blindness to Name’s attributes is in Word, the supreme facet light-holder, and his attribute oneness is at work in all of us at the same time. His yirah fragrance is thoroughly cleansing the diamond facets of our word-vision identity in Name, in order for us to make the same in all others more important, while still appreciating ours appearing in them. Have you realized yet that “the yirah of Yahweh [is] His treasure”[12]?
***
“I’m sick and tired of you complaining all the time. What’s the matter with you?”
“I’m sorry, I’ll be quiet.”
“But Dad, she wasn’t complaining!”
What does this kind of exchange look like in our word-vision identity, specifically with Word’s yirah, grace and desire attributes? The symbolic diamond facets for each of Word’s ten attributes are different colored transparencies of his presence, itself symbolized in the diagrams as the lower vision-pearl, Name’s the upper one. When using these to trigger vision, we allow the mind of our heart to envision their forms untethered to any opaque human form. The colored transparencies of Word’s attributes become translucent or opaque to us when we do not use the essence of his attributes correctly, causing us to see them not as Word’s in us but our own.
Thus, yirah, grace and desire in this word-vision exchange manifest in the perfect transparencies of Word in them and in translucencies or opaque forms that indicate their distortion in the vision-pearl of Laura and her parents. It is the catatonic social conscience of the world working blindness in them, good people struggling with partial blindness.
Thus, her father has no fear when disrespecting his wife because he sees Name’s yirah as his own, manipulating it to not alert him with fear when he is doing wrong. It makes him blindly feel brave and powerful because he also misreads it warning his wife to stop fearing him as a good thing because she cannot stop. In turn, her misuse of it not only causes her to misread it in herself directly but to misread the constant warning of fear given to her husband to stop mistreating her. She sees it as a warning that she is constantly doing wrong because he cannot stop – and she has made even her feelings dependent on his. In all interaction, our consciences always affect each other, so better to read them correctly.
Laura’s misuse of Name’s yirah transparency also permeates and interacts with theirs as she also misreads it in herself directly but misreads the fear meant for her father as a warning that she is doing something wrong in not stopping him, for her feelings are partially dependent on his as her father. In turn, Laura’s father misreads the warning of fear in her as proof of his bravery and power because she cannot stop him.
Recently, however, Laura has been using Name’s yirah in Word to cleanse this translucency in her conscience, allowing her feelings to become less dependent on him and her mother, as she and her mother misread it in each other also. But it is not cleansed enough for her to stop misreading it in herself directly in her relationship with Jack also, as well as misreading the warning of fear in Name’s yirah for him as a warning that she is doing something wrong that causes him to drink.
In turn, Jack not only misreads it in himself directly but misreads Name’s warning of fear for her to stop depending on others falsely as a warning that it will be his fault alone if their marriage ends in divorce. Of course, some of the things that Laura does do aggravate Jack’s blindness and vice versa, for some of their dependency on each other is also false, but it is the responsibility of each of them to learn word-vision to start loving the enemies of conscience, as it is for each of her parents. This is the only correct usage of Name’s attribute transparencies in Word in us.
In all, the three sets of relationships between the four them are as follows: one, Laura’s parents interact as they each watch Laura and Jack interacting, who in turn each watch her parents interacting; two, Laura and her father interact as they each watch her mother and Jack interacting, who in turn each watch them interacting; and three, Laura and her mother interact as they each watch her father and Jack interacting, who in turn each watch them interacting. A total of twelve appearances by the four of them, one in each of the three sets.
When the yirah attribute is transparent to them all, their three sets provide a strong baseline and good depth for each of their word-vision identities in Word. When it is translucent or opaque in their sets, it is the foundation for misperception and misuse of Name’s other attributes in their word-vision identities in Word.
One day last month, Jack confronted Laura’s father for belittling her mother right in front of them.
“What is the matter with you, sir? She is your wife?”
“Don’t you see how she always disrespects me?”
“With all due respect, she never disrespects you.”
Sensing her husband’s anger rising, Laura’s mother engages Laura on another issue and the dispute goes silent but remains dangerous in their inner vision. Name’s grace attribute takes the form of anger when misuse of His yirah reaches critical mass in the social conscience, what Name has been warning them about.
At this point, to Jack and Laura’s father, His grace transparency seems opaque in Word and prevents their word-vision from accessing any of it correctly. They experience it as blind anger in their sets. All crimes and wars are due to this critical mass.
In his blindness, Laura’s father does not see that the anger he feels for Jack is actually Name’s anger for him for not loving Jack as an enemy of his present conscience, and likewise for Jack’s anger actually being Name’s anger for him. For even though Jack did it out of love for Laura and her mother, he excluded her father.
The misuse of yirah in Laura and her mother does not reach the critical mass of anger during this occasion, but it does cause them to misuse the attribute transparency of Name’s desire in them so they can escape the presence of their husbands’ blind anger. They enter their misperception of Name’s desire in Word not knowing that they have turned it into a black hole in all three sets. This provides many opportunities for yirah to also reach the critical mass of anger.
As the fear in yirah does not apply to Name, neither does a part of desire the way it applies to us, since He is in a perpetual state of fulfillment, never fearing loss. Our conscience enters this state of His when we love the enemies of conscience. Desiring them to join us, we work from a healthy unrealized desire that does not blind us to Name’s fulfilled desire in us through Word.
Laura and her mother’s unfulfilled desire is for love to fill their homes and protect their families from all that is wrong in the world. It works in a black hole because by not loving the world’s enemies of these things while hating their behavior, they allow the catatonic part of their social conscience to remain in their homes even after they lock the doors at night.
Fortunately though, it does not make Name’s desire transparency opaque to them but translucent, making His other attributes in Word translucent through it. Jack and Laura’s father though, at least for now, are cut off from all of them because the opacity of His grace transparency blinds them totally. Yet, anyone who loves them as enemies of conscience can see all of Name’s transparencies in their sets as diamond facets in Word’s vision-pearl.
