It truly does matter what an item is made of; it is the elements of that item that makes it to be called what it is.  If it didn’t matter, then every item would be made of and be called the same thing.  If it didn’t matter what it was made of, we wouldn’t have carbonated water and citric acid for soda; we’d have water and water.  Or, we wouldn’t have a rose and a hydrangea; we’d have a rose and a rose.  And, yes, a rose is still a rose with our without thorns, but it is only called a rose because of the ingredients that makes it a rose.  Furthermore, it is not only called a rose; it is called a wild rose, a red rose, a hybrid tea rose, a hardy rose, a shrub rose, a cabbage rose, or a carpet rose all because of the other names [attachments, ingredients, diseases, breeding and mixtures] that makes it those types of roses.  However, its first name wasn’t rose; it was dirt and seed.  Selah!

In conjunction with the context of an initial thought about soul-ties, when we BE-come intimately involved with a person [in spirit and in flesh] we have then BE-come tied to many ingredients [if I may put it like that].  As the Prophet explained to me, those spiritual species [unconscious ingredients, particles you can’t see, spiritual diseases, breeds and genes] binds themselves to you and you take on their attributes distorting your true self-identity.  Those attributes didn’t just come from one person; they came from all the people that one person was tied to.  Unless we unfastened ourselves [spiritually] from the ties of that one person [and their attachments] we have no idea of who we actually are or the essence of our “true” name.

As people, our first name is not the name our parents gave us; that’s our second name.  Our first name is MAN, dust of the ground [dirt, powder, soil, air]; our second name is the name on our birth certificates.  And let the truth be articulated, we even lose sight of our second name when we bind our flesh and spirit to sexual, emotional, and psychological ties.  We become known [and named as] hysterical, schizophrenic, bi-polar, multiple personality disorder, sociopath, OCD, manic-depression and the host of all those NAMES that does not rightly identify us as God has created us to be.

My first name is MAN, dust of the ground; my second name is Angela Marie, and that name means Beloved Messenger, Bringer of Truth; and my prophetic name is Nataph, and that name means prophet who speaks by inspiration.  I AM what and who my name says I AM.

Who are you and what is your name?
