The Christian Life Explained: Living in Two Realms (July 1988 Conference Part 1)

Now we have one solo here. Over there is a lion and a lioness. Over there is the bull and the cow. Over here are the male and female hawks. Here are the male and female wolves. But here’s a solo; one. Over here, all the angels are watching. Lots of them. No male and female. All neuter, nonetheless, they’re a band of them. We got one lone man. And we’ve got one lone God. And God finishes shaping this man. When He gets His head down close to the man, the angels notice a remarkable similarity. This one is going to be made in His image. And He reaches down to awaken and give this clay mortal life. And He stopped, and all the angels were amazed. And the Lord lifts up off of the earth; He leaves the angels, He leaves our planet, He ascends into the skies, the visible heavens, and then He ascends back into the spiritual realm He has created. And He goes into the spiritual realm, and this is what He does.

Now, He is in the nondimensional realm where angels live and serve. He’s in heaven, He is in that spiritual realm, and He goes there standing there all alone. He does this, and He draws into His being the wind of the other realm. And with this wind locked within the lungs of God, He descends back into the skies, down through the clouds, and back to this beautifully formed clay. And this is what He does. He kneels or He leans over in front of the clay, and He goes (breathes), and He lets something in the other realm come into that creature.

And watch this sparkling, illuminating, pulsating light, and life of His spirit. Wind, pulsating wind, comes into his nostrils and then down into his inmost being, down into some tiny spot there. And the whole man begins to softly glow. And there, within him, churning and turning is part of the other realm, and the man is alive. He is alive because two universes, two realms have joined in him, and he stands up and he does something that nothing has ever done before. He looks and sees the cattle, and he looks and sees the angels, and he looks and sees God. Do you realize what I have just told you? You do? What have I just told you? Two of everything. He sees two of everything. Maybe he’s cross-eyed. No, no, that’s not what I said. Not at all.

I am telling you that here is a creature unique to all other creations. And even God is unlike him. Angels run around in the spiritual realm. Cows run around in the material realm. Birds fly in our realm. Cherubim fly in that realm. But the two realms are separated. There are the spiritual beings over here and the material physical beings over here. God is confined to this realm; He visits. But this realm over here, the spiritual realm, is His. And the angels over here, the cows and the sheep and the goat and the birds, they’re confined to this realm. Here is a creature who doesn’t fit in either category. The angels are aghast; is he one of us? No, you can see him. Then, he’s one of them. No, he can see us. He doesn’t belong to the cows and the goats and the horses and the apes and the cattle, and he doesn’t belong to us, and he does belong to the horses and the cows, the apes and that creation. He belongs to the material realm, and he belongs to our realm. They are totally befuddled, and one of them finally says, “I got it. He’s a hybrid.” And brothers and sisters, he’s a hybrid. He is the only hybrid there is. The only hybrid there is. No other creature has the right to both realms. He is part spirit, and he’s part soul and body. Soul and body over here, spirit over there. Now, I want to know if you understand what I’ve said. If so, shake your head. Do you understand this then? Do you understand that was your great-grandpappy?

That man in his original state not only had a right to, but was born to and born from and born in both realms. Now we have a problem. The problem is what? Where is he going to live? Angels live in the heavens. Cows live on the earth. Cherubim fly around in the spirituals. Birds fly around in the air. Where is he going to live? Birds have flocks. Angels have bands. Where’s this gentleman going? Well, I’m going to tell you where he’s going. I want you to listen very, very carefully because this is important to you. He’s going to live in a place that matches him. Angels live in the spiritual realm because they’re spiritual. Cows live in the physical realm because they are material and physical. Man must live in his own habitat. Therefore, he has to live in a place that is part spiritual and part physical, or both spiritual and physical.

Now, here is the spiritual realm; I’ll put it this way. And over here is the physical realm. God reached out and grabbed hold of the spiritual realm, and He took hold of the physical realm, and He began to draw them to one another, closer and closer and closer, until they touched. And when they touched, He allowed them to overlap just a tiny bit. And they overlapped; they interfaced just a tad, just a tiny little bit. Now then, what do you call that place? What do you call it? The Garden of Eden. Angels can come there and play, and cows can come there and eat grass. Man lives there, and he can see the cows, talk to the angels, and walk with God in the cool of the day. He is in the garden, and the garden is an interface, an overlap of two realms, because he himself is an overlap. He is an interface of two realms. You’ve got to be following me. You just don’t want to miss this.

Now, the realm he lives in matches him. He’s a hybrid. He is a species; the only species that belongs to both realms. Not that he will one day, but that he does now. Part of him is dimensional, but part of him is non-dimensional. Part of him is visible, part of him is invisible, but very real. He has a problem. And his problem is that he has the same problem God has. He’s the only one there is, and he’s lonely here in this paradise. He keeps looking; everybody else got two but him. He looks and He looks, and He looks and He looks. No number two. He sees a monkey and thinks, he sees an orangutan and gets physically ill, and he says, “Is this the best you can do?” And he has a long discussion with God. And God says that it is possible for him to have a mate. And he agrees in order to have a bride, a wife, he agrees to being put into a deep sleep in order to have a wife.

Now then, I’m going to tell you a mystery, an enormous and great mystery. Here is one of the greatest of all mysteries. It is almost the mystery of mysteries, and I will tell you the answer to this mystery. No one knew this. This is truly a mystery: that hidden inside that man was a woman, and nobody knew that. God had created the lions and the lionesses, but no one ever dreamed that inside his highest creation, inside of him was a mystery. And the mystery was that there was a woman inside the man. I don’t mean someone about that tall stuck in there somewhere; I mean that there is a woman inside the man, and God opens the man and pulls out…let me ask you: and pulls out something that is not Adam? No, He pulls out something that is Adam. In fact, He pulls out Adam. He pulls Adam out of Adam. And it’s a rib, and the rib is glowing just like the man is softly glowing. The angels are quite bright. The man glows a little bit. He’s part of the ground. He doesn’t grow like they do. And the rib begins to grow.

Now, is that still Adam, or is it becoming something else? That’s right. It is still Adam. It is his nature. I have never been able to put this in the English language, and I’ve always wanted to, but I can’t. It is His bone. It is his bone. It is his nature, but that’s not close enough yet. This is Adam, saints. And God is taking the bone and fashioning the bone and making an identical twin, you might say. I think you all know that identical twins can exchange kidneys and even arms. There’s no rejection. They are the same because they’re out of one egg, or whatever this is, could exchange kidneys without them: no rejection. It’s the same essence.

I know that you have all learned about the genetic code they’re finding within every cell of the human body. And every one of them is different from the others, except in identical twins, and Adam and his rib. They both had the same genetic code. I want to drive this home. Whether you understand it now or not, it becomes very important to you. This is one who is of the same nature as Adam. No, even closer than that. This is Adam. This is out of his very being, and it does not change. This is bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh. This is his nature. She will have the same DNA as Adam. How can I tell you? If you were to take gold from over here and melt it, and then take gold from over there and melt it, and pour both of them into a jar, would you have two golds there? Would you separate them? No. It is the same element. It is gold. Well, this is Adam, and this is Adam; they are one. This is one creature. There are not two creatures here. This is one creature here. And God is taking part of this creature and forming. You can’t say another creature because they are DNA of DNA. Now you say, Gene, but they became two. Wait a minute. Are you certain of that? Yes.

Adam woke up. He looked at Eve. She’s over there, softly glowing. The most beautiful woman who ever lived. The Hebrew is very intense in what Adam said. I mean, it’s written in a very strong exclamation. It is though he said, “Wow, finally bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, instant love.” And they became one again. And they became one again. And they became one again. And that is a symbol, and that is a shadow, and that is a type, and that is an image. She was in him, hidden inside of him. And she was of his own being. She was taken out. She was utterly him, an extension of him. It is not in the English language to say how close they were one. Nature of nature, essence of essence, the same molecular structure, the same atomic structure, the same DNA, and they meet and they’re one again. And this mysterious verse that doesn’t fit Genesis 2, so shall a man leave his wife and be joined to her, and the two will become one. This incredible mystery is that there was a girl inside Adam. There was a girl inside Adam.

Now, brothers and sisters, they belong to both realms. Isn’t that wonderful? They fellowship with God and command the animals. He names them. He is Lord of this realm, and he is entitled to this realm. And he moves back and forth. Why can he do that? Because he has a spirit in him. The spirit came from the other realm, and he has a soul like a dog and a body like a horse. I mean, in that they both have bodies, and they both have souls. He had a spirit like an angel, and he was your great-grandpappy, and he understood that he was part of both realms; it was just nature to him. He could talk to a horse all about angels. They might not understand, but he could talk to them. He could talk to angels about horses. He did not have to explain; this was perfectly natural for him to move from one realm into the other. He was at home in both of them. He had a habitat. You know what that habitat looked like? It had a tree in it. The very source of life. The Life. The life abode in that garden. There was a river there, and in the river were gold and pearl, beautiful, beautiful diamonds, and all sorts of other exotic precious stones. A tree, a river, precious stones, God, and man in this glorious garden that overlapped. Don’t forget that; that becomes very important.
