Blessed with the Baptism you received as a Child.
You've been called to Be, as in the Holy Bible declares us to Be, as New Born Christians... Prophets, Priests and Kings...
But Be for the Cross. You're Baptism was the Death of Cleansing (away from Ignorance, Sensual Desires, Ill-Will and Cruelty) unto Rebirth as Cleansed Purity in God The Lord Almighty Thyself (unto Great Wisdom, Renunciation, Loving-Kindness and Compassion). You must have the Transformation. The Transformation that Baptism Symbolizes. Be the True Christian it Symbolizes. Christ was Tortured and than Crucified for the Sins of the Whole World, as an Innocent Man who did no Crime to Deserve this Death. But why did he have to go through this? it Goes like this as my understanding goes...
Let's start here: It's been said that Compassion is the Highest Intelligence. And the Wisdom of the Lord that led to this Horrible, Innocent Death of a Pure Man, was That God saw are suffering. He created it. But Thy Loved as so much (had Compassion) he Wanted to Forgive us and lead us Back to Him by Example and Experience. The Intelligence was that God wanted to Humble thyself, Yes, even a Perfect God wanted to make Himself Perfect by earning Humility to his Credit. He made himself a Farting, Pissing, and Kind of Ugly and Weird Looking Creature, who start's out of life with Limited View and Knowledge, Growing and Working, Stubbing his Finger at Work (I only Imagine!). Studying His Relationship with People, Ideas, and Things. And Learning more of life and of his Father (his Higher, All-Knowing, True Life.) But he Loved us Little Creatures. The Ones He Intended to Grow in Full Knowledge of Thy Very Self, To see His Face in The Future after Starting out from Nothingness, Emptiness and Even Ignorance. All the things of Humility, he started in us, He Became, AS the Messiah (The Anointed One). So it was Suffering of Birth, Sickness, Torture and Death the Lord wanted to Experience as us Humans. He saw are Pain and wanted to Humble Himself and Share it with and for us. and to show us the path, what leads upward and what leads downward, the Finished Knowledge (Intelligence) of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, to the Fullest. In the Old Testament they would Symbolize the Lords Death Through Sacrificing a Pure and Innocent Animal, a Lamb for Example, The Sinner would place his hands on the Pure and Innocent Lamb, Symbolizing transferring His Sins unto it, passing it unto Him. In the Same way, By Believing in the Messiah, that he Existed, That he was Pure and Innocent for his charge, was really of human Flesh, Experienced this Suffering and Death, the Belief transfers your Sins unto Him as if your Hands were really on Him,,, And by Believing he Rose again, You partake of the true Baptism. The Water you went under was only a Symbol, Your Belief is a Handle on it.
Transient is this Life. A Life of Ending and of Rebirth. We All must change ourselves at some point in this life, before the final death we hopefully meet after many years. As are life Evolves, From the Linear Star Dust that we are, there comes a New Start. A Transformation must Happen, and it can only happen in the Now, not Tomorrow, Tomorrow is for the Lazy mind, the uninterested Mind, we come into life full of Mystery, Delusion and Confusion,, Sheer Stupidity, what else would come from Nothingness? Ignorance is the First Guess, Right? God Makes us from Nothing. The way of Meditation is to turn around and see where the projector is Screening the Film, the Light leading Backwards, Backwards into the Mind, Backwards into the Past, Turn around where the Senses are Reaching out to the World, Turn them back to where they start, before they touch the World, It sees them before they start there course, till all Five Senses are Off, and Nothing is left but Pure Consciousness, Beginning-less, End-less, Omnipresent, Stillness and Peace, Sat-Chit-Ananda (Ever-Existing, Ever-Conscious, Ever-New-Bliss),,,Now that is Where the Buddhist say the Yogi's Meditation Ends. But the Buddhist as well the Independent Teacher Krishnamurti Go in my Direction, To where we Go Back To Where Consciousness Begins and Ends, Furthur Into the Past, into Nothingness. Which is Actually more Peaceful than Pure-Consciousness-Samadhi, Though it seems Braver, To see That Universal Consciousness has a beginning and a End, a Before Consciousness, I Haven't Experienced either, but I believe 99% it's true, Just One Percent less than I Believe in Jesus, Until I Experience it, it wont be 100%.
Now what can come from Nothingness? Or Emptiness? Surely the Answer Begins with Ignorance, which Evolves again and again, over and over, Parent to Child, Birth to Birth, Being to Being. This shows Evolution (even the Gens mutate from Mom-Dad to Child, Pointing to Evolution.) this can still all come from a Creator-God. He can formulate a layout and plan, a course, and maybe a little freedom from his Creatures. To go there own Direction and make there Free Choices and Virtues and Sins. Even Directing some of the Course of where Creation/Evolution can go.
I have some Ideas but by fingers are tired from missspelling words and I wanna take a break, really, I Think we can be Friends Asante, I love your Mind/Post. Do take care, Remember Your BAPTISM! And what it Means. Or does it mean something else to you? We all would like to Know I think, I Do Love You!

First off I want to thank you for the great care and love that went into the above posting, and the process leading up to it. thank you, for weathering the storm with me.
Next week is my COVID test, but the Lord our God, the ultimate form of all of us as One, says I will not die in this decade. That gives me Hope, ot referring to Ms. Hope who gave Trump, the other admin, COVID, but hope as in the Holy Trinity of Faith and Hope uplifting Love, that coumterbalances the Unholy Trinity of Fear and Doubt in avoidance of Pain.
Moreover than Christ, God to me is the Holy Spirit of Genesis 1:1 - the All Encompassing (N)One giving rise to all Dualities, carving them out of His own flesh, out of Pure Love.
I am not a Follower of the Book - I'm a follower of the Word. I'm not a follower of the Avatar - I'm the follower of the Origin, the Essence, of all things.
Belief in the details is what separates the faiths and the faithful, but did He not say: YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME?
Anything other than that which is God talking with you RIGHT NOW, no religion, book, holy man, should not come between the conversation God is having with you RIGHT NOW. Do not hold a Bible between you and God, nor Jesus, nor ANYTHING.
We are all child forms of God, each partially unforfuilled in our own ways, each fragments of that Big Bang in which God Loved Himself To Pieces, in Genesis 1.
If you pry open a rose in the bud, what you are left with is a mess, not a rose.
God is leading me to greater and greater things, and there are whoppers coming up, but first God must make certain events come to pass, not because I want that but because he insists it must be in that exact way. I am chomping at the bit to do my part, after God has one His.
I am opening up as fast as God allows but he is keeping the pace down and urges me to do the same.
"A Magician is someone who is at the right place and time to take part in the Miracle."
He told me this at Age 6, before my baptism.
My destiny and I are neutron stars that want to instantly smack together, held apart nly by God's steady hands slowly drawing us closer 
If you want to pray for me, pray for me to have the patience God asks of me.
Be Blessed, SaintDextro.

I was just playing around the Shroomery and came back to this post, I Thought once again of Krishnamurti when I read that part of your post, Though I'm not sure I agree with him about not having "Highest Savior". A lord to look up to and ask for advice, but it's an intelligent Essay by him none the less:
Quote:
Commentaries on Living Series I Chapter 28 'Authority' THE SHADOWS WERE dancing on the green lawn; and though the sun was hot, the sky was very blue and soft. From across the fence a cow was looking at the green lawn and at the people. The gathering of people was strange to her, but the green grass was familiar, though the rains were long gone ind the earth was burnt brown. A lizard was picking off flies and other insects on the trunk of an oak. The distant mountains were hazy and inviting.
She said, under the trees after the talk, that she had come to listen in case the teacher of teachers spoke. She had been very earnest, but now that earnestness had become obstinacy. This obstinacy was covered over by smiles and by reasonable tolerance, a tolerance that had been very carefully thought out and cultivated; it was a thing of the mind and so could be inflamed into violent, angry intolerance. She was big and soft-spoken; but there lurked condemnation, nourished by her convictions and beliefs. She was suppressed and hard, but had given herself over to brotherhood and to its good cause. She added, after a pause, that she would know when the teacher spoke, for she and her group had some mysterious way of knowing it, which was not even to others. The pleasure of exclusive knowledge was so obvious in the way she said it, in the gesture and the tilt of the head.
Exclusive, private knowledge offers deeply satisfying pleasure. To know something that others do not know is a constant source of satisfaction; it gives one the feeling of being in touch with deeper things which afford prestige and authority. You are directly in contact, you have something which others have not, and so you are important, not only to yourself, but to others. The others look up to you, a little apprehensively, because they want to share what you have; but you give, always knowing more. You are the leader, the authority; and this position comes easily, for people want to be told, to be led. The more we are aware that we are lost and confused, the more eager we are to be guided and told; so authority is built up in the name of the State, in the name of religion, in the name of a Master or a party leader.
The worship of authority, whether in big or little things, is evil, the more so in religious matters. There is no intermediary between you and reality; and if there is one, he is a perverter, a mischief maker, it does not matter who he is, whether the highest saviour or your latest guru or teacher. The one who knows does not know; he can know only his own prejudices, his self-projected beliefs and sensory demands. He cannot know truth, the immeasurable. position and authority can be built up, cunningly cultivated, but not humility. Virtue gives freedom; but cultivated humility is not virtue, it is mere sensation and therefore harmful and destructive; it is a bondage, to be broken again and again.
It is important to find out, not who is the Master, the saint, the leader, but why you follow. You only follow to become something, to gain, to be clear. Clarity cannot be given by another. Confusion is in us; we have brought it about, and we have to clear it away. We may achieve a gratifying position, an inward security, a place in the hierarchy of organized belief; but all this is self-enclosing activity leading to conflict and misery. You may feel momentarily happy in your achievement, you may persuade yourself that your position is inevitable, that it is your lot; but as long as you want to become something, at whatever level, there is bound to be misery and confusion. Being as nothing is not negation. The positive or negative action of will, which is desire sharpened and heightened, always leads to strife and conflict; it is not the means of understanding. The setting up of authority and the following of it is the denial of understanding. When there is understanding there is freedom, which cannot be bought, or given by another. What is bought can be lost, and what is given can be taken away; and so authority and its fear are bred. Fear is not to be put away by appeasements and candles; it ends with the cessation of the desire.
