If anybody thinks I've become less serious let me just remind everybody that I outlined the Plan of God for a reason. It is the substance of the understanding derived from objective consciousness. All that about Federal Theology (which is Covenant Theology systematized), about the Bible, about all the subject matter of systematic theology (which includes what is going on inside man), bringing it together, seeing the parts in relation to the whole, that is a big part of everything. A big part.

I'm getting reminders of it all as I read actual Reformed theologians writing things now that I was writing on their blogs back then. (I wasn't banned from all of them, by the way.)

You need the Spirit to discern such things. But to have it all as a whole is obviously very valuable.

My point is you all didn't follow me much into all that territory, this is OK, we're all in different stages and all that. But it's not like I was doing nothing.

The more real understanding one gets of the Plan of God the closer one gets to supernatural realms and beings and events.

The catch is the love for the world (including indulging resentments and fake sufferings via things that happened when one was solely in the world) that seems to be the hardest thing to cast off. It's what prevents the second conscious shock.

The two conscious shocks are the real 'sacraments' of the Faith.
