Study– Jesus’ dealing with aversion in all those He dealt with 

The aversion factor is the reaction man’s nature and character take to the need for a significant and cohesive perception that liberates the inner working of the motive and associative need of the human spirit to the voices calling upon it.

The aversion factor of the human nature is the escapistic type of reaction one takes to the need for a significant and cohesive perception to liberate the orientative, motivative, and associative needs of the human spirit to rightly discern amongst the voices and images that call upon and envision it.

Catharsis- by definition means the release of ideas, thoughts, and repressed material from the unconscious, accompanied by an emotional response and relief

Another definition has it as,  the release or anger or aggressive energy by directly or vicariously engaging in anger or aggression; the catharsis hypothesis states that behaving angrily or watching others behave angrily reduces subsequent anger

“Flow” is the concept of optimal experiences in life that are most likely to occur when people develop a sense of mastery.  Flow involves a state of concentration in which an individual becomes absorbed while engaging in an activity.

Serendipity—by definition is good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries- also, the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for

Grace/serendipity is indicated by these characteristics- 

  • They serve to nurture-support, protect, and enhance-human life and spiritual growth
  • The mechanism of their action is either imcompletely understandable (as in the case of dreams) or totally obscure (as in the case of paranormal phenomena) according to the principles of natural law as interpreted by current scientific thinking
  • Their occurrence is frequent, routine, commonplace, and essentially universal among humanity
  • Although they are potentially influenced by human consciousness, their origin is outside the conscious will and beyond the process of conscious decision making

Worldview

Your worldview is the perception you identify with as it relates to the following questions—

Individuality- Who or What am I?

Meaning- What’s the point of it all?

Values- How am I to make moral choices?

Truth- Is it possible to know the truth about ourselves and the universe?

Love- What is love, and Where can it be found?

Suffering- Why is there suffering, and How can we live with it?

Death- How am I to face death? Is there life after death?

Hope- What hope is there for the human race?

Reality- Is there anything more than the physical world?

Evil- Is there any hope in fighting evil and justice?

The world is full of differing religions, philosophies, and psychologies that answer the above in differing ways

The question is, Which one is the most cohesive between being spiritually formative, processible, and expressive? And what has the most cohesive orientation, motivation, and association?

Frames of Orientation-Motivation-Association

Frame of Orientation-

The theology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology of ones worldview

Stages of Spiritual Development

M.Scott Peck-Further Along the Road Less Traveled

Stage One- Chaotic/Antisocial- stage of lawlessness, absent of spirituality

They have a superficial belief system and are essentially unprincipled

Stage Two- Formal/Institutional- stage of rigorous adherance to the letter of the law and attachment to the forms of religion

They are religious and often fundamentalists

Stage Three- Skeptic/Individual- stage of principled behavior, but characterized by religious doubt or disinterest, albeit accompanied by other life areas inquisitiveness

They are usually scientific-minded, rational, moral, and humane. Their outlook is predominately materialistic.

Stage Four- Mystical/Communal- stage which your state is one of the spirit of the law

They are rational but do not make a fetish of rationalism. They doubt their own doubts; feel connected to an unseen order of things, although they cannot define it; and are comfortable with the mystery of the sacred.

While a stereotyping is made in the above, I see the above as the process of spiritual progressing in transformation.

Stage One is of the spiritually bereft.  They have a chaotic framework.  Often unprincipled and disconnected spiritually. One of misguided direction.

Stage Two is a recognition of spiritual need, but inability to create it oneself.  They look to authorities to provide control and direction for growth. One of mediated direction.

Stage Three is a recognition for spiritual autonomy and discovery.  They are in a transition to personal identity.  They are in a process of purging doubts and finding an apologetic. One of being directed toward attachment. 

Stage Four is a break beyond identity formation and making a mystical communion with a spiritual entity. One of attachment with the Director.

2 cor 3 17-18  transformation toward glory to glory

Change does not truly begin until one’s perception changes.  Becoming liberated comes in what happens when one beholds the glory of God.  Seeing His image causes us to become transfigured (transformed) into His image.  The more we behold His image, the more we become like it- more splendorous and increasingly glorious.

16But whenever a person turns [in repentance] to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away.

    17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).(D)

    18And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

Romans 12:2 rex paraphrased

Do not fashion oneself according to this age, but be transfigured in the form of your being by renovating the intellectual meanings in your mind to the ability to discerningly test with approval what,who,why,and which is the pleasure/determination/inclination of God, the good benefiting, fully agreeable and wholly complete will.

Matthew 13:3, Luke 13:21

The process of tranformation follows that of leavening flour with secrecy.  Put a little in and soon it permeates everything.  Taking something of God and placing it in the secret place of the heart and soon it works out into everything.

Transformatives

Spiritual washing by the Spirit

Focused of the spiritual and not the carnal

Casting down and captivating imaginations

Do not be given to subtlety and beguilement

Do not give fulfillment to carnality

Do not be given to vanity

Be renewed in the spirit of your mind

Let His mind be in you

Think upon the affirming and virtuous

Give outward expression of what God has put inside
