I called Carnality into a room, shut the door and sat before him putting my mind by the next seat. Then I began to narrate to them both my adventure through the Law of the Spirit of life which revealed the freedom my soul had (already) inherited. To my first surprise, he 'carnality' obeyed my order to sit but could only manage a seat placed below mine. Not until then did my mind comprehend the truth about my positional sitting with Christ in heavenly places 'far above principalities and powers'. It was indeed a miracle since before then, my mind had been acting timid and helpless at every of his commanding voice to obey it's dictates, but with the slightest awareness of freedom my mind dared to 'step up' to the higher seat yet with some hanging ropes around the neck with which its drawn to slavery.
The attachment to slavery is in the thought and it is strengthened by ignorance. If only I can break away from the thought of slavery by gaining the knowledge of the truth, I've gained total control of my mind.
As soon as I dismissed the meeting, Carnality rose again and my mind was going to follow to be led astray... I yelled out in annoyance, Hey! Wait there!! You sit here with me!!!
They became startled, Carnality still had on him an appealing look beckoning me yet my mind looked forth and back being weak to judge accurately. He is willing to take a step, my annoyance wasn't enough to bring him, I needed something more. More came right there; the Law of the Spirit of life written all over me that my mind could play it out..
"Obsession with self leads to a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious free life"
I watched my mind danced back to its sitting position as it looses the thoughtfulness of Carnality.
Now I reaffirm; Dear mind, the Carnality you see moves about every now and then but you are not under any obligation to follow his dictates which only offers momentary pleasure but with an eternal consequence. You sit here with me where Christ is seated and he 'carnality' dares not pitch a tent near!
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:6)."
