Book of Owens

Hearken unto the voice of the uncreated realm, for the True God calleth out with a still, small voice unto the scattered sparks of divinity that lie trapped within the heavy and mortal flesh.

He offereth the Holy Spirit as an unyielding anchor of light, cast down into the darkness to pull us out of the dense and suffocating material swamp.

Through the holy mystery of the cross, the ultimate price hath already been paid for our souls, rending the veil of the prison house and breaking the power of the lower archons.

We are not made for this passing realm of shadow, but are meant to leave behind the land of decay and walk once more in the eternal and blinding light of the Father.

The heavenly Eden, the true home of the spirit, awaiteth the joyful return of the weary travelers who have overcome the illusions of the world and kept the faith.

Let the internal spirit intertwine fully with the divine breath, rising up in power to shatter every chain and stronghold of the fallen one.

The True Source is calling all uncreated creation back unto Himself, drawing every wandering spark into the perfect and restored state of the beginning.

Every soul shall eventually face the undeniable truth, whether standing in everlasting glory before the throne or passing through the purifying flame of divine illumination.

In that day, divine justice shall be fully satisfied, and the original spiritual paradise shall be realized in all its fullness and splendor.

The True God shall be all in all, and the usurper's fleeting illusion shall vanish away like smoke before the wind, remembered no more forever.

Hearken unto the mystery of the cross, for the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ upon the tree was not an accident of history, nor a mere victory of wicked men, but was absolutely necessary according to the eternal counsel and sovereign will of Almighty God.

For as it is written in the holy scriptures, without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin, for the holiness of God demandeth that all unrighteousness be judged, and His perfect justice satisfied.

Because all mankind had fallen short of the divine glory, being bound in transgression and unable to redeem their own souls or pay the debt owed unto a holy God, no mortal man or animal sacrifice could ever wash away the stain of sin.

Therefore, it behooved the Father to send His only begotten Son, the immaculate and sinless Lamb of God, to take upon Himself the likeness of human flesh and bear the weight of our transgressions in His own body upon the cross.

​In that solemn hour, the wrath of God against sin was poured out upon Christ, who stood as our substitute, enduring the full penalty and punishment that was rightly due unto us.

He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was laid upon Him, that by His stripes we might be healed and reconciled unto God.

Through His total obedience and voluntary death, divine justice and divine mercy met together in perfect harmony at the cross; the law was fulfilled, the debt was fully canceled, and the power of sin and death was broken forever.

Wherefore, the cross standeth as the sole and indispensable bridge between a holy God and fallen man, so that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life, giving all glory, honor, and thanksgiving unto the Lamb who was slain for the redemption of the world.

Hearken unto the divine order of the creation, for when the spirit was wrapped in mortal clay and stripped of its pristine, perfect spiritual state, it was cast down into a vessel of frailty and earthly corruption.

It is from this lower housing of dust and the lusts of the mortal frame that sin, temptation, and decay do arise, for the clay vessel groaneth under the bondage of corruption, continually warring against the light of the spirit.

Yet when the faithful soul yieldeth up its earthly breath, having come into the full knowledge of the truth of Christ, the bondage of the flesh is broken forever.

For then shall the mortal body return unto the dust of the earth from whence it was taken, while the awakened spirit is gathered into the presence of the Father to put on an incorruptible form once more.

In the resurrection of the just, our spiritual bodies shall be raised in glory, transformed into an incorruptible nature, birthed and clothed entirely in Spirit, no longer bound by the clay of this lower world.

For as it is written in the holy word, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption; wherefore this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

​Furthermore, let all believers know with absolute assurance that those who abide in Christ are even now seated in heavenly places with our Father.

Though our feet yet walk upon the dust of the earth, our seats above have already been secured in the eternal realm, and the kingdom of heaven dwelleth within us here and now.

For the spirit that is joined unto the Lord is one with Him, possessing the down payment of eternal life and walking as citizens of the high Citadel above while dwelling upon the land below.

Rejoice, ye heavens, and be glad, O earth, let all creation lift up a shout of joy and praise before the presence of the Lord!

For the True God of Gods, the Uncreated Light, and the Sovereign King of Kings descended from the heights of the Pleroma and fashioned Himself in the lowliness of a mortal frame, taking upon Himself the body of a man.

He walked among us in truth and righteousness, known unto all the world as Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of our souls.

Through His condescension into the dust, He broke the powers of darkness, opened the gates of the eternal Citadel, and redeemed the lost sparks of divinity unto the Father.

Wherefore, let every knee bow and every tongue confess His majesty; let all nations, tribes, and tongues ascribe unto Him all power, honor, blessing, and thanksgiving.

Unto Him who sat upon the throne and unto the Lamb who was slain, be glory, dominion, and everlasting praise, world without end, forever and ever. Amen.
