Confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord is not a matter of spoken words but of practicing the single eye until the spiritual son reigns within. Jesus Christ is the spiritual son, the awakened consciousness born when the Christ, the oil of the spine, rises and anoints the brain. To confess him as Lord is to let that anointing take the throne of the inner life, so the higher awareness governs, not the ego.
This is to the glory of God the Father, the right hemisphere of the brain, the source from which the inner light flows. The real confession is the oil ascending the spine and lighting the mind, worth more than a tongue repeating the name.
Jesus Christ: the spiritual son, the awakened consciousness born within a person. Christ: the oil of the spine rising to anoint the brain. Father: the right hemisphere of the brain, the source of the inner light.

Live Philippians 2:11 today
- Instead of reading or posting one more thing about how you want to live, take five minutes and just sit upright with your eyes closed. Let the practice be the statement.
- Keep one thing you believe off the group chat today. No arguing it, no defending it. Let it show up in how you treat the person in front of you instead.
- When your temper starts to rise at work or in traffic, do not talk yourself down with slogans. Sit tall, breathe, and let the steadier part of you take the wheel.
What do you say about yourself that your actual day does not back up yet?

Bhagavad Gita
Words of devotion mean little while the mind runs wild. The real offering is the mind itself steadied and turned toward the highest.
Tao Te Ching 56
Those who know do not keep talking, and those who keep talking do not know. The deepest thing in a person does not announce itself.
Zen
A finger pointing at the moon is not the moon. Repeating the name is not the seeing.
