Trusting the Right Mirror - Myron Golden Lecture

Introduction

  • Importance of watching the entire video series sequentially for a better understanding.
  • Emphasizes that each experience is stored in the soul, which might not always be trustworthy because of flawed education, negative experiences, or toxic environments.

The Soulish Realm

  • Soulless part of a man: Stores education, experiences, and environment, whether good or bad.
  • Spiritual warfare: The battleground for thoughts and beliefs.
    • Weapons are not carnal but spiritual, capable of pulling down strongholds (negative beliefs).
    • Strongholds are formed from suggestions, scenarios, and eventually beliefs that contradict the knowledge of God.

Renewing the Mind

  • Salvation is a process, not a one-time event; it involves the transformation of the mind.
  • Renewing the mind is essential for spiritual growth.

Connection with God

  • Self-conscious vs. God-conscious:
    • The soul makes you self-conscious.
    • The spirit makes you God-conscious and connects you to God's boundless realm.
  • Triple nature: Body, Soul, and Spirit.
    • The body is formed through biology, the soul through sociology, and the spirit is created by God.

The Three Mirrors

Physical Mirror

  • Can only reflect your physical appearance, not your true self or spirit.
  • The body is just the house for spirit and soul.

Circumstance Mirror

  • Reflects current life situations (health, wealth, etc.) but doesn’t define who you are.
  • Important distinction: Your address (where you are) is not your identity (who you are).
  • Circumstances should refine, not define you.

Other People’s Opinions

  • Cannot be relied upon for true self-knowledge.
  • Opinions are often based on limited knowledge and influenced by external factors like competition and misinformation.

The Right Mirror

  • The Word of God:
    • Provides true understanding of who you are (image and likeness of God).
    • Rejecting false information and embracing biblical truths leads to higher consciousness and unique thoughts.

Conclusion

  • Understanding and trusting the right mirror (the word of God) is crucial for knowing your true identity and achieving spiritual growth.
