"Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit."
/EINPresswire.com/ This most important insight from the Bible also reinforces my own hypothesis!
"Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." - John: 3-3"
For me the most challenging and intriguing chapter of the Bible is chapter 3 from St. John. The part about 'being born again' is clear as explained in Wikipedia, "In Christianity, born again refers to a "spiritual rebirth" (regeneration) of the human soul or spirit, contrasted with the physical birth everyone experiences."
However inspite of having spent hundreds of hours over many years on trying to decode the explanation given to Nicodemus:
'5 Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You[c] must be born again.'
I was still not able to decode this intriguing explanation.
However yesterday the buses were running late and while waiting and waiting for the bus I went back to reading St John Ch 3. What caught my attention was, '6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.' I kept rolling this over and over in my mind. Finally it happened and even though I have not reached the level of decoding like I did in "The 4th R Foundation Would Like To Draw The Attention Of Our Leaders To The 5 Words That Are The Key To Becoming Wise: God Said To Moses, 'I Am Who I Am." - Exodus 3:14" I think I have come close to solving at least partly the mystery of this chapter.
I feel I have succeed in decoding this particular line: '6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.'!!!
My basic hypothesis quantifies the mind/brain into broadly and approximately four basic stages and as there are four levels of the brain/mind there are four levels of individuals, groups, countries and leaders described as follows:
a) Premature mind (-2)...a totally self centered brutal nature. Leaders that are stuck at this level manifest themselves as dictators and tyrants. At this stage of the mind the child considers his own self as all reality. In his mind he alone exists. One's own self is all that counts. Others don't count at all as they don't even exist. Leaders who are stuck at this emotional mind level consider themselves as all important and they build huge monuments to themselves and stash away money in illegal accounts neglecting and robbing the common man and the country. To achieve their own goals they abuse their power, commit atrocities and abuse human rights. Inspite of all the illegal wealth and power this mind level leaders are very insecure. They spend a disproportionate amount of money on their own and their countries security. For these leaders they alone are
above the law and everyone else is below the law. Except for the very few cronies of the leader the rest of the country lives in poverty and life remains a constant struggle. Many countries in the world are ruled by this -2 mind level leaders. We must wake up the world to their -2 emotional mind and its consequences. Individuals at this -2 level end up as murderers, thugs, rapists etc. They are the very personification of evil. The brain is physically and emotionally stuck at the -2 level and it projects a -2 mind/self/self-image. At this stage the mind is practically a slave of the brain. It is the physical brain that is totally in-charge of the brain-mind self-identity. We can scientifically say that the individual at this -2 level is the physical brain which is pure flesh, which totally rules the mind(spirit).
b) Immature mind (-1)... an opportunistic nature that will break the law if the individual thinks that he can get away with it. At this stage of the mind level the teenager thinks that even though he has no power today his time will come and he deserves the best today. He will try to fulfill his lopsided dreams by hook or by crook. He considers himself as most important and will do everything to make it so if he feels he can get away with even committing illegal acts. Leaders whose minds are stuck at this level are extremely corrupt. They build up illegal fortunes at the cost of the country and the common man. Most third world countries have this level mind leaders and citizens. Individuals at this level are a mixture of brain and mind. One can scientifically say that this level -1 brain-mind represents a mixture of flesh(brain) and spirit(mind).
c) Mature mind (+1)... a responsible nature that respects the equality of all. At this stage the adult mind considers himself as first among equals. He still struggles to make the most for his own self. He works for his own family first. Leaders who are at this level of the mind work for their whole nation but more so for their
own supporters, their own party and their own vested interests first. When it comes to international relations they put their own country above all else. When President Bush places jobs above carbon emissions he is coming from this mind level. Most developed countries are in this category. They especially over spend on defense to remain first in military power at least in their own neighborhood. So called super powers and aspiring super powers try to expand the range of their defense powers by spending even more to show off power beyond their borders. They spend more than they need on defense but they spend enough on other sectors where the economy benefits the whole country. Individuals at this level are responsible citizens however they suffer from a phony over confident self image. They are brought up on ,'I am the best' belief that is implanted into their physical brain structure. As a result they have a trophy self image. The brain-mind complex is mostly ruled by the mind. Thus at this stage the brain-mind complex is mostly spirit.
d) Super mature mind (+2)...an altruistic nature. At this mind level the mind develops to the highest level of emotional intelligence which is wisdom. The person considers himself as part of the whole human family. He considers everyone else as #1 irrespective of caste and creed, gender or economic status. Leaders who manifest themselves at this level genuinely work for the whole country and also try their best to help other countries. They don't help their own supporters above the opposition. They treat all alike with the
same highest respect. For them all the people at large especially the poor are worthy of more attention and financial assistance so their priorities and policies focus on education, health, infrastructure and economic growth away from defense. Such leaders bring economic prosperity and real change in the lives of all the sections of society. The whole country becomes richer. Such leaders are truly altruistic and humble. All their spending is rational. Their priorities are equally focused on education, health, and infrastructure and defense and every thing in-between. This is the kind of leader every country needs every time there is an election. Individuals at this +2 brain-mind complex are true altruistic beings who are true manifestations of the pure self. Their mind(spirit) is in total control of the brain(flesh).
Individuals who grow up chronologically but remain emotionally at -2 brain level can be termed as flesh.
These are the real criminals of the world. They either are mentally challenged and so are dependent on society for their needs or are criminals and so cause harm to the society. No wonder Jesus says those of flesh(brain) cannot go to heaven.
Individuals who grow up chronologically but remain emotionally at -1 brain level can be termed as a mixture of flesh(brain) and spirit(mind). No wonder there are many layers of heaven and hell.
Individuals who grow up chronologically but remain emotionally at +1 brain level can be termed as mostly spirit(mind).
Individuals who grow up emotionally to the +2 brain/mind level can be termed as fully self-actualized spirits.
Thus think of the brain as flesh and the mind as spirit.
Thus, 'Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.' we can decode as,
"Brain gives birth to brain, but the Mind gives birth to mind.' Thus born again means mind rebirth. Which means wisdom education, which among many education roads also means my very own self image therapy! (please google, 'self image therapy by sajid khan').
What a blessing! This most important insight from the Bible also reinforces my own hypothesis!

* The R stands for truth/reality. Truth/reality is not just a moral issue it is a much bigger health/economic/life/pure happiness/well-being issue. One can get away with falsehood when it comes to the ropes of life but when it comes to living ones life then truth is an essential factor in a top quality physical and emotional life.
All our emotional problems stem from not knowing, understanding and actualizing our true self. It is because our true self is hidden under the cloak of our part phony self image that we have all these problems in life. From economic troubles to depression from jealousy to suspicion, from anger to restlessness are all due to the part falsehood/emotional-baggage that runs our brains/minds. So the 4th R/truth is a very essential life factor; especially an emotional health factor.
