Explaining 1 John 4 - God Has a Ruler

I will summarize from 1 John 5 and other scripture references to save space. Look up the references if you are interested.

What rules God? This is a fair question to ask, especially given the hidden meaning behind 1 John 4 and the essence of religion at its source (Sanskrit). In 1 John 4, it is stated twice that God is Love. This can also be flipped for the same meaning, showing that Love is God, or the ruler of the mind of God as one law. In Galatians 5, the one law is shown with none beside. When reading about the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5, start with the restriction of law, then read backwards. Law ends with self-control, then manifests back toward Love, which assumes all other virtues except one (Bliss). All virtues are prerequisite to themselves. In other words, you cannot have peace without being peaceful. All virtues are in order, stated backwards in Galatians 5, with Bliss left out of the list.

Read backwards, seeing how law (restriction) turns into freedom by becoming what God is: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit [BLISS] is <---- love, <---- joy, <---- peace, <---- forbearance, <---- kindness, <---- goodness, <---- faithfulness, 23 <---- gentleness and <---- self-control. <----Against such things there is no law.

We find this one law in many places. Here is one source:

Dhammapada 1 (from Buddhism)

Chapter 1 - Choices
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.


This law of Love has always been known. Love is one law, if followed, that has the power to deny any other restriction placed against it. If you see this by light of the title in Galatians 5 (Freedom in Christ), then the only other element to knowing God is the identity of Christ himself as Adam (First and Last).

The Lord of the Underworld in Sanskrit is Yama (another name for Yahweh in Hebrew). His title (YAMA) means Self-Control. The underworld is the waters below, where the mind is divided from its higher nature above. Manu is the Sanskrit word for Man, or brother to Yama (relatives to each other). Manu means, "To Think." In the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh is the judge and accuser of man, or adversary to our lack of Self-Control. In Sanskrit, both Manus and Yamas are know as Laws. Yahweh was the giver of Law, but Adam was the recorder of Law. Between, man must break free of the Law, which is a sacrifice that is weak.

In Sanskrit, man breaks free of Law when he realizes his true identity as Brahma, or the one created by Brahman. Vishnu is the Lord manifest, which is a term called the Ishvara, or ruler of self. Shiva then destroys each moment of the past as we transition into the future. Overcoming this division into the relative is the job of all three, or the rulers, powers, thrones and authorities in each person. We are all the Son of God, but God when Love is found. Echad is the word used for ONE with God, which is a plurality in unity (many as one). When Jesus says he is one with God, he uses the same word in another language (HEN), which means the same. Yoga means union. One body. Love engages marriage (consummation / Yoga / Echad / Unity).

SEE THIS: TRILOKA (Three Modes of the Tree of Life)

Colossians 1

15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

This is a description of you as a copy of Adam.

Now read 1 John 4 with understanding:

4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

---Is from God (is from Love). The Spirit of Antichrist is the Spirit not ruled by Love.

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

---The ruler of God is Love. God is ruled by his own Spirit (that of Love),
which then gives you some idea what it will mean to Blaspheme the Holy Spirit (Spirit of Love). God's intent (by design) is always good, no matter the expedient means needed by law to bring us to clarity of mind regarding Love. Love is a prerequisite of itself. The person not possessing the rule of this law is divided from those who do follow God's ruler. The material world is a place for Manu to think on this relative state of division. Luckily for us, Love keeps no record of wrongs (1 Cor 13). God judges no one (John 5), nor does Jesus judge any man (John 8). We judge ourselves when knowledge of Love is known (at death). You will be born again.


13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

---Here, we return to the Spirit of virtues. From here, I will leave you with a PDF I created and a few aphorisms to guide you toward one truth. Love requires the development of self-control. There are three aphorisms you will read. For every joy, there is a price to pay (Suffering). The same hand that gives medicine is the same hand giving sickness (your hand). Sickness and Medicine cancel each other out. What is left behind when the middle way is found between? Virtue, or self-control over your Spirit with Love.

Your identity is that of a Lord (Ishvara). There is no difference between you and the Lord in the Bible. ONE. Life is for one purpose: Refinement of your mind toward hitting the mark. Chet is the Hebrew word Sin, or missing the mark. When the student is ready, the master appears. YOU are both. Waking to Love is Awakening who you are: LOVE! BUDH means to awaken. Buddha's mother is Mara (illusion of the material world.) Waking is entering in to true reality. Born from above (see John 3). As the Eastern scriptures say, "Mind is Buddha." ONE mind, many thoughts. One bread, many slices. One blood, many veins. There is no difference. All Eastern Religions are one purpose--Knowing who you are. Become the ruler and self-govern. This is the objective of a King. One way to know God: Become God (LOVE).
