Do not at all costs repeat Judas Iscariot's error and ways.
First Judas was clinging to Christ's words. God in Flesh is beaming Wisdom, grace, graces, all kinds of good. Jesus is like Mary the Moon soft, toned down. (If Christ decided to lift his Veil we would burn to ash. We are still in the process of becoming like him. We are still works in progress and not complete.)
Judas was given charge of the money for the Apostolic Group by Jesus. Over time Judas would disappear and would not come back for days to the Apostolic Group. The other 11 always obeyed Christ and remained with Him to be dispersed for missions or His tasking. Judas is not there.
We end up like this at times. We do a Judas thing. No one is without this that are not in Monastery or a Cloister closed environment of sisters, monks, brothers. Dedication as a starting point word. More words are available to use.
Then later, Judas says Jesus, "I don't understand you anymore!" --Found in Book 5
The decline of the Apostle happened because his interest was not Christ's interests. Judas was not on the same page as Christ. Judas was always seeking green pastures. What he can get from here, there and anywhere to grow his kingdom. Having a house for to raise a family is one thing, but to have a large house for what reason is another. Gluttony. God gives what we need based on our fliation to Him. Jesus teaches us to not over do it.
He teaches us moderation. Some like large houses. Some like to have many types of vehicles parked at there large house with a large garage. Some like many paintings from artists on their walls. Some like a robust large yard for various reasons. Some like ranches with animals of the wild and other nature. Some like to live in caves. Some like to live at the base of a mountain. Some like a seriously large mansion that has 70 bedrooms on large plot of land with rolling hills, ponds, streams. Some like the stars to be their ceiling. Some like a cabin. Some like tree houses. Some like etc.,.
God created Eden a Garden for His children to dwell. It was perfect and their flesh was not in charge and so they lived as spirits. They had not human ego and the ways of it. They had one ego, their spirits.
They woke up in the Garden from the created state. Then they slept in the Garden nightly and woke daily to talk with the Lord. They walked with God. Quite simple. A simplistic life. Here we if we really meditate on this, we are able to get catch a glimpse of the simplicity with which it was. The Original Thought of God for man his dwelling. Man slept in the garden. Man woman woke up in the garden with God. They walked with God. God. They were given what God gave to them and it was beauty with simplicity. Flowers galore! Birds on the ground on branches everywhere. Deer everywhere. Rabbit, squirrels, all the wild life there in and around them. Trees, beautiful vegetation plush aromatic, water crystal clear. It was fresh. Pure. Clean. Untainted. One word: Perfect.
Do to variance in weather we have roof, walls for protection for our physical nature. We are too much on physical nature. Life comes from the incorporeal. We really heavily to live for our physical nature. What is our souls is not even thought of. Sun for our souls, food for our souls, God for our souls, the animals which God created for our comfort for our souls, everything God created was for the comfort of our souls. So yes it is very good thought to see it like it was. The Holy Spirit brings these to us over time. And we can take heart in seeing a pure earth with God in it. This then helps us to think of what it will be like in the New Earth.
Love God always
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Peace be with you always
