This is not only about how Scripture is read.
It is about how the world itself is seen.

There are two ways of perceiving reality.

One sees everything as separate.
The other sees everything in union.

One lives in duality.
Good versus evil.
Us versus them.
Saved versus lost.
Heaven later.
Hell later.

The other lives from wholeness.
Interconnection.
Participation.
God present everywhere.
The Kingdom here and now.

These are not two opinions.
They are two states of consciousness.

THE CARNAL MIND AND OUTER DARKNESS

The carnal mind sees with the physical eye alone.
And the physical eye sees less than one percent
of the available light spectrum.

So most of reality remains unseen.

This is what Scripture calls outer darkness.
Not because light is absent,
but because perception is limited.

From this place,
the world feels hostile.
People feel dangerous.
God feels distant.
Fear feels necessary.
Control feels righteous.

Scripture becomes a weapon.
Doctrine replaces discernment.
Fire becomes an enemy.
Love becomes conditional.

This is not wickedness in the way religion taught.
It is unpurified sight.

THE SPIRITUAL MIND AND INNER ILLUMINATION

The spiritual mind sees from the heart.
From inner illumination.
From awareness of God’s omnipresence.

Here,
nothing is outside of God.
Nothing is abandoned.
Nothing is disconnected.

The Kingdom of God is not coming later.
It is within you.
And it is all around you.

From this place,
Scripture reveals instead of threatens.
Judgment restores instead of condemns.
Fire purifies instead of tortures.
Truth heals instead of controls.

Union does not deny pain.
It redeems it.

DISCERNMENT WITHOUT DISTORTION

Seeing from the Spirit does not mean pretending
there is no distortion in the world.

It does not mean bypassing pain.
It does not mean calling everything “good”
while ignoring what is broken.

The Spirit discerns distortion clearly.

What many call evil
is distortion.

What many call loss
is immaturity,
unawakened identity,
or undeveloped awareness.

The difference matters.

Calling distortion evil
leads to condemnation.

Seeing distortion as distortion
leads to healing.

This is how God sees.

God does not confuse immaturity with malice.
God does not confuse blindness with rebellion.
God does not confuse distortion with identity.

PURITY OF HEART AND PERCEPTION

Scripture says,
“To the pure, all things are pure.”

That does not mean denial.
It means perception has been healed.

If someone sees evil everywhere,
torture everywhere,
hell everywhere,
it is revealing something —
not about God,
but about the lens they are looking through.

Purity of heart does not come by avoidance.
It comes by purification.

And purification requires fire.

This is where many stumble.

They call the fire of God an enemy,
not realizing it is the very means of healing.

Fire exposes what is false
so what is true can remain.

Fire does not destroy the person.
It destroys the distortion.

Gold does not fear the furnace.
Only dross does.

DISCERNMENT AND FIERCE LOVE

Seeing from union does not mean silence.

Jesus discerned clearly
where people were speaking from.
And He named it.

He overturned tables.
He confronted systems.
He exposed religion
that harmed people while calling itself holy.

Not because He lacked love,
but because He embodied it.

Love that heals is not weak.
Truth that liberates is not always gentle.

We are not fighting people.
We are dismantling lies.

We are not attacking flesh and blood.
We are illuminating darkness.

The works of the adversary
are not people.

They are systems of thought
that kill,
steal,
and destroy —
especially religious systems
that teach love tortures forever
while calling that good news.

ROMANS 8 AND THE GROANING OF CREATION

Scripture says,
“All things work together for good
for those who love God.”

And it also says
that all of creation is groaning.

Groaning not for escape.
Groaning not for destruction.
Groaning for revelation.

For the sons of God to be revealed.

Not to dominate.
Not to condemn.
But to heal.

Creation is waiting
for people who see from union
instead of separation.

For people who discern distortion
without hatred.
Who confront lies
without losing love.
Who speak heaven’s verdict
into wounded places.

This is what the manifestation
of the sons of God looks like.

Not superiority.
Responsibility.

Not judgment.
Reconciliation.

Not fear.
Love made visible.

And when the sons of God rise,
creation does not recoil.

It exhales.

Because this has always been the point.

Not escape from the world,
but healing of it.

Not postponing heaven,
but revealing it.

Not threatening darkness,
but illuminating it.

Creation groans for healed sight. 
Love matures into responsibility. 
Union reveals what fear obscures. 
The sons of God rise to restore, not rule. 
And heaven appears wherever love sees clearly.
