The Hallowing Effect
The tapestries and paintings that depict the holy family, if we could listen to our inner eye, we would see this Halo over the revered ones doesn’t just serve to remind us that they were holy and that we are not. The Halos, which the scriptures call the crown of life, is a force of light that arises over an individual which is the resultant effect occurring over the ones who have overcome their natural mind state, and have attained to an illuminated, transcendent, and spiritual mind.
The good news is that those crowns will appear over all those who transcend from linear thought prisons patterns to the circuitous thoughts of a spiritually enlightened mind. Once again remember Gods’ thoughts are not our thoughts neither His ways our ways.
Generally speaking, humans today are currently in a mental state of misalignment.
If we are to fulfill our destinies it is to seek to put on and wear the crown of life. But it must be stridently remembered and underscored that we are the ones who must put it on. God does not do this for us, but it is in our purview and responsibility, and incumbent upon each and every one; to himself, put on the mind of Christ. We must endeavor to put on a hallowed mind, and not just assume the crown is simply handed to us when we die, which is the common assumption.
The masses of people today erroneously believe that because they are converted (or as some say… saved) they are entitled to this crown, but it is clear we must put it on. However, in order to do this we must first grasp the fact that there is a great conflict we must truly come to grips with and overcome.
Our present earthly body house (lattice) is like an anchor tied around our feet. As we try to swim in the ocean of this worlds currents, and in the disruptions of this life, we are greatly hindered by our bodies. And it is because of this constant weight which acts like a drag which frustrates our efforts to transcend and move toward hallowing; and why transcendence is fraught with great difficulty. It is the bodies ailments and it’s pains along with it’s many appetites, and what we allow it, as we give into its power (the power of the flesh) that substantially blinds our inner eye. But we are admonished and reminded to…
“Let us lay aside every weight that so easily encumbers us and run the race set before us looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” Heb 12.1
Therefore we must be reminded continually the goal set before us (which is the perfecting of our faith) necessitates the climbing out (“running the race”) of our fleshy minds and moving towards the mind of Christ which produces the “crown of life.” The Hallowing Effect comes as we rewire our programmed linear mental circuits and put on the cyclical nature of God’s eternal and infinite mind.
But how? How do we accomplish this?
