Eye To Eye

But rather agreeing to overlook one another's faults and allowing individuality, and guarding the free agency of one another, agreeing to disagree etc."

JJ: No one said that seeing eye to eye is being like a mindless robot. Seeing eye to eye through the Holy Spirit uses all the heart and the mind so, if anything, being one in Christ is mind-full and heart-full.

If seeing eye to eye is "agreeing to disagree" then there should be plenty of people building Zion right now. Zion awaits a people who can see eye to eye in the building of God. In our lower natures we have many disagreements and, when we reach a dead end, we may agree to disagree. Many people without soul contact do this daily.

As we approach building the kingdom of God, points will be reached where agreeing to disagree will not work, but will cause progress to come to a screeching halt. When this happens the Oneness Principle must come into play and the two will contact the Spirit through the Soul together. Then the Spirit, which is One, reveals the same thing to both of them at the same instant. Then two or more entities become as one mind, joined in the One mind of God.

The instant the revelation is received they no longer agree to disagree, but agree to agree and, providing both abide by what they have received and do not deny the revelation of the Spirit, they will then move ahead seeing "eye to eye." Notice that it does not say eyes to eyes? This is because of the emphasis put on the unity that is attainable through the window of the soul.

I also found this post from Blayne interesting: "PS And Craig, I know Jesus Christ lives and rose from the grave and grants eternal life, not because I believe, because I have seen him and spoke to him as one man speaks to another. And I know anyone can also if they seek to know."

JJ: Would you care to share with the group more about this experience and what was communicated? Did you apply the test Joseph Smith gave of shaking his hand to determine if it was a resurrected being?

By the way, I enjoyed the remarks of you and others on the kite idea. It could make a good parable.
