Luke 20:28 Meaning They Asked Him
They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
What does Luke 20:28 mean?
A wife is the state to which a person's awareness is joined, the mood he is married to and lives from. When a brother dies without children, a state has been held but bore no fruit, no visible result came of it.

MANIFESTATION
Manifestation
A wife is the state to which a person's awareness is joined, the mood he is married to and lives from. When a brother dies without children, a state has been held but bore no fruit, no visible result came of it. The law that the surviving brother must take the widow and raise up seed means the awareness does not stay empty. It moves to the same state again and stays there until something is born from it.
Death here is departure from one state and entry into another, done inside a person and not in a grave. Awareness cannot stay unattached. It is always wedded to some condition, and the state a person stays married to is the state that finally brings forth his life.

Live Luke 20:28 today
- Watch what mood you live in when nobody is around, in the car, in the scroll before sleep. That one is raising your life, whether you chose it or not.
- If a conversation keeps rehearsing the same resentment every time you meet, stop feeding it once today. Let the subject go unmarried for one afternoon.
- When a plan bears nothing after real effort, don't leap to a brand new plan. Go back into the same quiet confidence and stay there longer than feels reasonable.
What mood have you been living with so long that you stopped seeing it as a choice?

Whatever a person dwells on often, the mind leans that way and finally lives there. You cannot dwell nowhere.
