Awareness of the inshining presence of the spirit of Jesus Christ guides and informs my relationships and interactions. This awareness of the Spirit’s presence seated in my consciousness and conscience and the experience of its relative intensity through awareness of the increase or diminishment of the light of the spirit is, in itself, the faculty which anchors my consciousness and informs my conscience. In the power and presence of the spirit of Christ, the faculty of reason or reflective thought does not anchor my consciousness and inform my conscience in matters of human relations.

Being in Christ’s presence discovers to me that human relations guided and informed through the agency of the reflective nature is the cause of conflict and strife. To the extent that people relate to one another through the agency of the reflective nature and the political, religious, educational, and economic conceptual entities manifested through reflective nature is the extent to which I cannot, in good conscience, affirm their behaviour toward one another. It is the direct and immediate experience of the awareness of the inshining presence of the spirit of Christ enthroned upon my consciousness and conscience and the renewal of my mind through the faculty of awareness of the spirit’s intensity in a given interaction that draws me out of the agency of the reflective nature and the cycle of conflict it nurtures.

The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine is guided and informed through the agency of the reflective nature and the use of its political, religious, educational, and economic conceptual entities. To the extent they embrace the reflective nature and its conceptual agents is the extent to which they will nurture conflict. There is a different way found in the agency of the spirit of Christ and the renewal of the mind through the faculty of awareness of the spirit’s relative intensity in given interactions. Turning to the Spirit’s presence in the conscious and conscience will draw human relations out of the reflective nature and being guided and informed by conceptual entities manifested through the reflective process.

 
In reality, the power of the reflective nature and the resulting influence of its elemental conceptual entities is strong and rules much of human relations. Human relations and interactions will not be drawn out of conflict and strife through the promotion of concepts like, passivism, peace, unity, etc. These concepts are also agents of the reflective nature. The use of concepts to guide human relations is under the power of the reflective nature and the conceptual entities manifested through the process of reflective thought.

The spirit of Christ is discovered to me that physical weapons of war are shadows of the conceptual entities which guide human technological weaponry development through the the agency of the reflective nature. The immanent presence of the spirit of Christ in my conscience has shifted my perspective and now I see that concepts are living spiritual entities that influence people and which people use to guide their actions toward other people through the agency of the reflective nature. Concepts are not created in the brains of human beings. The world of these conceptual entities of the reflective nature is all around as we go about daily life in the physical world. It is a world along-side the physical world. It is by the power of the reflective nature that people’s conscience and consciousness come under the influence of these conceptual entities and use them to guide human relations. The outward manifestation of conflict, like that between Russia and Ukraine, is a mere shadow of the reality behind the outward physical events. Condemnation of the physical circumstances pushed by Russian and Ukrainian politicians, and others around the world, are conceived in the nursery of the reflective nature. Both sides view their relations to one another through power of the reflective nature and they yearn for the guidance of the conceptual entities the reflective process offers so that they may use these entities against each other. These agents of the reflective nature are the real weapons of war. The physical weapons used against people are dead forms animated and used by people through the agency of the reflective nature and its conceptual agents. It is not the physical weapons that is the cause of death and conflict. It is the conceptual agents of the reflective nature that is the source of conflict and death. The presence of Christ in my conscience has revealed to me a way out of the need for conceptual entities conjured through the agency of the reflective nature to guide and inform human relations. This different way is through the experience of the enthronement of the spirit of Christ in the conscience and consciousness. In this different way, people live in the continuous awareness of the presence of Christ in the conscience which leads us out of the faculty of te reflective nature and its conceptual entitities to guide human relations. The direct experience of Christ’s inshining presence and awareness of the guiding faculty of the Spirit’s increased and decreased illumination in given circumstances transforms and renews human relations through the direct experience of the Spirit itself in itself.
