The Two Realities
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6 (NKJV). "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8. "If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." John 3:12-13 (NKJV).
"And He said to them, 'You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world." John 8:23 (NKJV).
"My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." John 18:36 (NASB).
Reality is that which exists. There are two primary realities. These are the spiritual and the material realities, also known as the supernatural and the natural. Science has shown that there are higher dimensions beyond the dimensions of the space-time continuum in which man's flesh body exists. These dimensions are the spiritual (supernatural) dimensions of reality. The first cause and Source of being exists in the higher dimensions of the spiritual, the supernatural realms of being.
God, Elohim, is the Source of being, existence, and reality. Genesis 1, Exodus 3:14, and John 1:1-4. The most accurate translation of Exodus 3:14 is "I am being" or "I am who causes to be." God created the heavens and the earth by speaking them into existence through His Living Word and manifesting them by the power of the Holy Spirit. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:1-5 (NASB). God's words are seeds of being spoken through the Living Word of God. This is the process of seedtime and harvest. The process of seedtime and harvest is the process of manifestation in the material realm of the space-time continuum.
Life is established in the spirit realm by the Living Word of God and flows through the spirit being of those creatures through the unifying agency of the Holy Spirit. The following statement of Yeshua reveals that the Holy Spirit is the unifying agent of God. "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven." Matthew 12:31 (NASB). The spirit of life sustains the life of living creatures. The physical genetic code has manifested in the material realm from the spiritual genetic code of the spirit man. This spiritual genetic code is contained within the spirit body of the individual.
Man is a conscious being composed of spirit, soul, and body. Genesis 1 and 2. We were created in the image of God. Genesis 1:27. God is Spirit and the Source of all being and reality. Therefore, the real you is the spirit man. The soul is the agent which bonds the spirit to the flesh. Genesis 2.
Reality is established in the spirit realm by the Word of God according to principle. Material reality manifests from the spirit realm into the material realm according to principles. Principles are the way in which the word of God manifests reality. Laws describe the process of manifestation.
The principle of cause and effect is the basic principle of Being and manifestation. This principle is the basis of being. The principle of cause and effect is an absolute. A law defines and/or describes how the principle upon which it is based functions. The manifestation in the material realm of the principle of cause and effect is known as the law of cause and effect. We can discern the principle of a thing, and the way in which it works, by examining its effect in the material realm.
Scientific evidence indicates dimensions beyond those we experience in this space-time continuum. Spin is the angular motion in which an object spins on its axis. Spin refers to the rotation of an object. Particle physicists have discovered that in the microcosm, many (perhaps all) of the subatomic particles of which atoms are composed spin through a rotation of 360 or more degrees. Certain subatomic particles spin beyond the 360 degrees. Therefore, this scientific evidence reveals that there are higher dimensions of reality beyond the space-time continuum in which we live, move, and have our being.
The intrinsic spin of a particle manifests in fixed discrete units that are integer multiples of 2 of Planck's constant h divided by 2 pi. For the simplification of expression, this intrinsic spin is referred to as 'spin 2,' 'spin 1,' 'spin 3/2,' etc. Particles with an odd number of spin units behave quite differently from those with an even number. Those particles with a rotation of 2 spin numbers and those with an even number greater than 360 degrees move beyond our ability to measure them and disappear. Then they spin back into our material dimensions. They disappear into other dimensions of being and then return to this realm of the space-time continuum. The basic fact is that these building blocks of matter coexist within our material realm and also within other dimensions of reality.
In the material realm of the space-time continuum, every manifestation is an event of motion with an apparent beginning and end in time within a specific location in space. However, its appearance is an existence of energy in motion. Every thing in the material universe is the manifestation of energy which conforms to a specific structure and pattern of being. This energy manifests as light and sound, as various vibrations within a range of frequencies. The difference between light and sound is the range of frequencies of each category. Light manifests within the higher range of frequencies. Sound manifests within the lower range of frequencies.
"In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved over the face of the waters. And God said, >Let there be light'; and there was light." Genesis 1:1-3 (NKJV).

About the Book
This book is a sequel to the book MESSIAH SPEAKS: Understanding The Teachings Of Yeshua-Jesus. In addition to the introduction, it is written in three parts. Part One is a summary of some of the basic teachings of Yeshua. This section describes the difference between the supernatural and the material realms. It describes the process of manifestation. It reveals the function of agape love and faith. A brief description of the structure of mankind is given which includes the spirit man, the soul, and the physical body. The orientation of your heart determines the manifestation of your potential within the inner man. The power of your words is revealed in this section. Part Two describes the process of living in the Word. This section shows a person how to apply the teachings of Yeshua, Jesus, in his (or her) life. It reveals the basic gospel that Jesus taught. It describes our covenant with God manifested through Him. It reveals that our vision determines our future. It gives some clues to fulfilling your destiny. It shows the overcomer's relationship with the Holy Spirit of God. It describes the process of overcoming those things within you, which hinders the fulfillment of your destiny. It shows you how to activate the process of overcoming. It provides the information that shows you how, and enables you, to prepare your heart for God's presence. It indicates ways to seek the presence of God and living in the Spirit. The overcomer's victory program is described. Part Three describes what happens in the presence of God. The primary requirement for entering the presence of God is hunger for His presence. The presence of the Spirit of God manifests the fruits of the spirit. This section reveals the difference between experiencing the presence of God in the spirit man in conscious awareness and being in the manifest presence of God.
