Consciousness...the name of the Game.
Consciousness. It is everything. It is who you are. It's who I am. We are all consciousness. Mind or consciousness can never be destroyed, it can only be transformed. Basically you can be in a lowered state of mind, or a higher state of consciousness (mind). This low state is referred to biblically as the "FALL" of mankind.
With me so far?
Good! As we all know, in the bible, it states that when we transform, we do so
by renewing our mind.
Well, what exactly does renewing mean in this context?? Most people assume it means to start over. But a more adequate meaning would be to refresh. In this scripture, it is used in the context to mean we should start to come into a higher elevated spirit or existence. We need to evolve. That is to say, we must raise our current state of mind.
If you understand this, you also understand you are not just physically made. That within your body is the spirit that was created to become transformed. Our body is just a container, a tool or carrier for our minds or conscious being.
This is where both Adam and Eve come into play. In Genesis, during the fall, our consciousness devolved. That means, we went from a higher state of awareness and holy living, to a lower state of awareness and being. Year after year, generation after generation, our spirits devolved. Each generation began to walk after their own ways, saying that their ways were just. By doing so, each generation began living lower life patterns, thus falling further and further away from God.
When discerning things through a spiritual eye, you will be able to see just how much mankind has turned away from the spiritual things of God, into a lower state of conscious mind. Let's take a look at the urban scene today for a better understanding of this:
Let's concentrate on this for a moment. Do you see the pictures above? Do you see the gun weilding, money lovers, and tatoo bandits in these pictures there? Urban music today, which 90 percent of the youth population listen to, is used to glorify things of Satan. They use music as a tool, to reach the youth, and subtly seduce them into a lifestyle, that has nothing to do with God, but of Evil. They do this without many of us being aware we have been manipulated and mind controlled.
How do they do this? They accomplish this very successfully and easily actually. . Tell any young guy from the streets. "All you have to do is say is say a few rhymes. You will be rich, famous, and have all the things you and your family ever wanted and needed. All you have to do, is glorify the things of this world."
Many fall into the trap. Urban music today has entrapped the mind and thinking patterns of many of our youth. Just look around you. Look at the youth of today. They wear their pants sagging down, smoking weed like its a cigarrette now... etc.
Think about what demons are being pumped into the conscious minds of our young people. Remind yourself of the fact they are listening to this type of music EVERY SINGLE DAY.
This is just a small list of what this music glorifies: Death. Killing. Sex. Women as Objects. Imprisonment. Weed Smoking. Drugs. Money. Tattoos. Idol Worship such as Cars, Jewelry. Liquor....the list goes on and on and on.
There is nothing positive that comes from this music at all. Remind yourself. Look at the pictures above again. That's the mild stuff. These rappers are much worse than this. This lifestyle, being what is glorified and pushed out into the minds of our young people, is why our people are and still continue to spiral down.
Parents defend this, saying it's harmless fun, and believe that indulging or being associated with this lifestyle doesn't affect anything.
But, it does.
Satan seeks to wire the mind with death, and sin. As long as this is glorified, meaning, as long as he can THOROUGHLY convince you that this lifestyle is cool, what is in, what is hip, what is the now. Your actions in life will mirror your thinking. This is when the youth start to demoralize their own body, based on this way of thinking. This is why you must understand what the battle is for, before you can start to realize what it is you are actually up against.
The wicked seek control and this is what they are after. Music is just one of the many tools by which is used to accomplish this. If you wish to see a very blantant example of how easily it happens, click the link. Check out a song called Otis by jayz.
