The human being is essentially spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is to be a self. But what is the self? In short, the self is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity. The self is the conscious unity of these factors, which relates to itself, whose task is to become itself. This, of course, can only be done in relationship to God, who holds the synthesis together. -Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard
Furthermore, with a deeper understanding of the matter, what is meant by drawing to itself depends upon the nature of that which is to be drawn...So it is when the truth draws to itself; for the truth is in itself as in-and-by-itself-and Christ is the truth. It must be the higher which draws the lower to itself-as when Christ, the infinitely highest, very God and very man, from on high draws all unto Himself. But man, of whom we are here discoursing, is in his own self a self. Hence Christ would first and foremost help every man to become himself, would require of him first and foremost that by entering into himself he should become himself, so as then to draw him unto Himself. He would draw man unto Himself, and in order to draw him truly to Himself, He would draw him only as a free being, and so through a choice...Therefore will He who humbled Himself, he the humiliated one, from on high draws man to Himself.
-Soren Kierkegaard, Training in Christianity
Therefore he that despises does not despise man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
-1Thess4:8, MEV
You will be hated by all men for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
-Mt10:22, MEV
There will be one flock and one shepherd. Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it up again. -JC
-Jn10:16-17, MEV
Auternae Existent/Eternal Existents
-The Auternae Existents of Jesus Christ-
// In like manner, Christ came as eternal existence by himself for all who would know the truth in Him for the salvation of their sin/s(state of being unqaulified) as to having or pertaining to eternal existence. Do they today not do the same as they did yesterday? They attempt to make Christ out this way by asking him, do you make yourself out to be God? Before he states, "before Moses, I AM." The important thing is not that Christ makes himself out to be God, but this shows that Christ knows himself as knowing that the Father need be his only witness before the collective. Truth does not need to justify itself to the many, truth needs to be, and so truth is. Jesus Christ is the truth, perfectly present at all times with the one who chooses and allows himself to be chosen by God to be a eternal existent unto Christ. Now, if I were to presuppose you to the Auternae Existents of Jesus Christ, Oh how much more would you desire a walk this much closer to Him? The answer is, those in the church would like to become professional apologetics of scripture and make attempts to the experiences that Christ, the apostles, and the Saints experienced as auternae existents(authentic experience, individual believers) themselves, yet not be desirous of such experiences today and attack the one who experiences life in this Way. Oh yes, they will be the ones who say, didn't we dance for you? And he will say, "I never knew you." But the one who comes as the tax man before the altar, we all know what joy would be awaiting him; for the pharisee had received his reward already.
-Personal Truth of Auternae Existent-
// We have the understanding as Existential Christians that Jesus Christ is the foundation, and the personal truths of our experiences only expound to affirm the foundation set before us. Since Christ is the truth, he is to be the underlying pin to the foundation of the eternal for Earthly life of the auternae existent(individual believer). Beyond that, the individual must experience life in all of its processes, tests, and obstacles for true-self to become more identified with as to relating to the eternal(Godhead). Christ remains as the Son of God and Son of Man for these two important reasons. He exists contemporaneously to exemplify the perfect man for each of us to pursue, and the Son of God as to mediate relations to man of God's eternal being-who's cause is love shown in His Son as the light to the world. So it is Jesus who holds these two premises that no other figure in history can do. The understanding of auternae existent is that no man can become God, but that man can become true-self by/with God unto eternal completedness; having existence, having being. This is to have life presently and to have life eternally-eternal life. You know what you have to do next, and that is to ask God into your life for forgiveness of your sin nature(sins) in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. So be born anew and come exist in the Way.
-The Mind Collective-
// The mind of the collective is not about promotion of auternae existent of the individual. In this age, we are moving into a time where christian(false) will turn against Christian(true). It is to this point that Kierkegaard makes, and that is for each of us should "will one thing" and "move in infinite love." The standard of the Spirit life is to raise one out of his past(carnal fear) to a newer place of God relations; not one of legalism, but a place that has freed the individual so he or she can pursue the all encompassing presence and protection of our "Most High" Abba, Father. The mind of the collective adversary to God's chosen is on our heals chomping at the bit working around the clock to disturb our spirit, but with God's assurance about who we are in Him, He has us as His own, and the love of God will never separate us from Himself. The evil one is not a human being and does not want you to be one either. This is why it is so important to know thyself in true humility so that with God, you and I may become complete true-self, god-men, eternal existents, prepared as a glorious bride for Christ's return and spend eternity as he desires for his creation (in auternae existents with him/Him)...as we were created in the image of our God. -Gen1:27
...You will be hated by all men for My name's sake, but not a hair of your head shall perish. In your endurance you will gain your souls. -Jesus Christ
-Lk21:17-19,MEV
