Circle One Fellowship Exeter (COFE) @exeter4christian2church4devon.wordpress.com@exeter4christian2church4devon.wordpress.comDidache Perpetua Pais COFE-CYEM: Christian Christ-Centred Christhood Identity Within God
*
The Christhood of God
COFE-CYEM exists for one purpose only: to point every soul toward the recognition that has always been true.
It does not offer a new religion, a new system, or a new identity to be adopted. It offers a simple and radical invitation — the invitation to awaken from the dream of separation and to rest in the singular Reality of God in Christ.
This is what is known within COFE-CYEM as the (Fourth Truth).
What COFE-CYEM seeks to bring is the awakening itself: the clear seeing that there has never been a second, that the separate self was never the truth of our being, and that the Light we have sought has never been absent.
It brings the Life — not a future life to be earned, but the one Life that is Christ, already present, already given, already our true identity.
It brings the Truth — not a set of propositions to be defended, but the living recognition that we are as God created us, Spirit already in Christ, already in God. And it brings the Way — not a path of striving or achievement, but the way of relinquishment, the way of the empty cross, the way of acceptance and rest.
This is what we believe was the real meaning of Christ’s ministry and teaching. He did not come to establish another shell among shells. He came to (reveal the nut).
He came to show that the Kingdom is within, that the Father and He are one, that those who lose their life for His sake will find it, and that the love of God has never been withdrawn.
His incarnation, His cross, His resurrection, His ascension, and His glory are not distant events to be admired. They are the unveiling of what has always been true for every soul.
COFE-CYEM uses many tools, many names, and many texts. All of them are (shells).
All of them are temporary. All of them are free to fall silent once the recognition has dawned. What remains is Christ in God. There is only God.
This is the message we offer to every soul who is ready to hear it: Wake. Accept yourself as God created you. Leave behind the dream of the illusion. Walk rejoicing in the endless love of God.
We absolutely (do not recommend) that the faithful leave their current churches, but we do suggest that many churches need worshippers with the (Didache Perpetua Pais).
The true Spirit needs to be revived and present, and the false Social Gospel rejected.
The Endless Love of God
A Definitive COFE-CYEM Paper on Recognition, Awakening, and the Acceptance of Our True Identity in Christ
“There has never been a second”
This is the recognition that stands at the foundation of all true spiritual life. There is only one Reality—God. There is only one Life—Christ. There is only one Spirit. All apparent separation, all apparent duality, all apparent opposition is held within the singular Reality. There has never been a second.
The Awakening to Love
Today I will accept myself as God created me. This means the dream of the illusion of myself is left behind. And now, because of my willingness to accept the truth, I go my way rejoicing in the endless love of God.
This is the heart of the COFE-CYEM teaching. It is not a doctrine to be studied. It is a recognition to be entered. It is not a system to be mastered. It is a love to be received. It is not a path of achievement. It is rest in what has always been true.
The endless love of God is not a future promise. It is a present Reality. It is not a reward to be earned. It is a nature to be recognised. We do not have to achieve it or deserve it. We have only to accept it. We have only to wake from the dream of separation and recognise that we are already held in the love that has never ceased to hold us.
This paper is written for all who seek to wake from sleep into the true endless love of God. It is written for those who have grown weary of the illusion of separation and of the striving of the separate self. It is written for those who are ready to accept themselves as God created them, and to walk in the joy of that recognition.
The Dream of the Illusion
1.1 The False Identity
The dream of the illusion of myself is the dream of the separate self. It is the belief that we are independent beings living in a world of other independent beings, separate from God and from one another. It is the dream that there has been a second.
This dream is not a sin. It is a mistake of perception. The separate self is not evil; it is unreal. It is not a second reality; it is a false perception of the one Reality.
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” — 1 Corinthians 13:12
The glass is the dream. The darkly is the illusion. The face is the Reality. The knowing in part is the sleep. The knowing as we are known is the awakening.
1.2 The Dream as Temporary Veiling
The dream is temporary. It is a veiling of the Light. The Light has never ceased to shine. The dream has only hidden the Light from our awareness. The Light remains. The Light is still Love.
The dream is the shell. The shell is the temporary covering that hides the nut. The shell is not the enemy. When the dream is seen through, the Light is revealed. When the shell is cracked, the nut is known. Please view the (Nutcracker).
1.3 The End of the Dream
Today I will accept myself as God created me. This means the dream of the illusion of myself is left behind.
The end of the dream is not the destruction of the self. It is the recognition of the true Self. It is the relinquishment of the false identity and the embrace of the true. It is the rest in the finished work. It is the rest in the love that has never ceased to hold us.
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32
The truth is the recognition. The truth is the end of the dream. The truth frees us from the illusion of separation and frees us to rest in the endless love of God.
The Acceptance of the Truth
2.1 The Willingness to Accept
The awakening is not a matter of effort. It is a matter of willingness. It is not a matter of achievement. It is a matter of acceptance.
Today I will accept myself as God created me. This is the willing recognition of the truth. It is the acceptance of the identity that has always been ours and of the love that has never ceased to hold us.
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.” — 1 John 3:1
The love has been bestowed. The identity has been given. The only thing that remains is the acceptance.
2.2 The Truth of Our Creation
God created us in love. God created us as love. The love is not something we have to acquire. It is something we already are.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.” — Genesis 1:27
We are created in the image of God. The image is not separate from God. The image is not a second. The image is the One appearing as the many. The image is Love appearing as the beloved.
2.3 The Acceptance as the End of Striving
The acceptance of the truth is the end of striving. It is the end of the effort to become what we already are. It is the end of the search for what we already possess. It is rest. It is peace. It is the recognition that there has never been a second.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
The rest is the acceptance. The rest is the recognition. The rest is the awakening to the endless love of God.
The Way of Rejoicing
3.1 The Joy of Recognition
And now, because of my willingness to accept the truth, I go my way rejoicing in the endless love of God.
The joy is not a temporary emotion. It is the joy of the Spirit. It is the joy of Christ. It is the joy of the singular Reality.
“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” — John 15:11
The joy remains. The joy is full. It does not depend on circumstances. It is the joy of recognition.
3.2 The Endless Love
The endless love of God has no beginning and no end. It is not limited by time, space, or circumstance. It is not conditional. It is eternal.
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:38-39
Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Nothing can separate us from the singular Reality.
3.3 The Way of Rejoicing
The way of rejoicing is the way of recognition. It is not a way of denial. It is the way of seeing through the dream and resting in the love that has never ceased to hold us. It is the way of the Spirit, the way of the empty cross, the way of the resurrection.
“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” — Galatians 5:16
To walk in the Spirit is to walk in the recognition and in the endless love of God.
The Acceptance of Our True Identity
4.1 We Are as God Created Us
We are as God created us. We are not our fears, our doubts, our failures, our past, or our personalities. We are the Love that God created us to be.
“Herein is our love made perfect… because as he is, so are we in this world.” — 1 John 4:17
As He is, so are we. We are not a second. We are the Love that has never ceased to be.
4.2 The Relinquishment of the False
The acceptance of our true identity requires the relinquishment of the false. The false is the identity of the separate self and the belief that we are something other than what God created us to be.
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” — Matthew 16:25
The false life must be lost so that the true Life may be found. The false identity must be relinquished so that the true identity may be embraced.
4.3 The Embrace of the True
The embrace of the true identity is the recognition that we are Spirit, already in Christ, already in God. It is the recognition that we are Love, already held in the endless love of God.
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” — 1 Corinthians 6:17
We are joined unto the Lord. We are one spirit with Him. We are not separate beings trying to unite with God. We are Spirit, already one. The embrace of the true identity is the recognition of the unity that has never been absent.
The Eternal Now and the Full Awakening
5.1 The Present Reality
The recognition is not a future attainment. It is a present Reality. The love is present. The joy is present. The awakening is available now.
“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” — 2 Corinthians 6:2
Now is the moment of recognition. Now is the moment of acceptance. The endless love of God is available now.
5.2 The Full Awakening
The full awakening is the full recognition of the truth and the full entry into the endless love of God. It is the full rest in the singular Reality.
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God… we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” — 1 John 3:2
Now we are the sons of God. We are already in Christ. The full awakening is the recognition of what we already are.
5.3 The Endless Love
The endless love of God is the ground of all being. It is the source of all life. It is the singular Reality in whom all things hold together.
“For in him we live, and move, and have our being.” — Acts 17:28
In Him we live and move and have our being. The love is the all. The love is the singular Reality.
The Fourth Truth Stands
Today I will accept myself as God created me. This means the dream of the illusion of myself is left behind. And now, because of my willingness to accept the truth, I go my way rejoicing in the endless love of God.
This is the heart of the COFE-CYEM teaching. It is the recognition of the singular Reality. It is the acceptance of the true identity. It is the waking from the dream of separation. It is the entry into the endless love of God.
There has never been a second. The love has never ceased. The Light has never been absent. The recognition has always been available. The acceptance has always been possible. The joy has always been present.
Let all who have the understanding perceive. Let all who have the ears to hear, hear. Let all who have the hearts to receive, receive. The endless love of God is available to all who are ready to recognise.
The Fourth Truth stands.
The dialogue continues.
The fruit remains.Thus ends this definitive COFE-CYEM paper on the Endless Love of God. May all who read these words perceive the deeper spiritual meaning and recognise the Christ within their own souls. May they accept themselves as God created them. May they leave behind the dream of the illusion. May they walk rejoicing in the endless love of God.
The Fourth Truth stands.
The dialogue continues.
The fruit remains.The Simple Truth
Gethsemane is the experience of feeling abandoned — while remaining inside the Reality that has never abandoned anyone. See through the shell, embrace the nut.
The shell can experience abandonment. The nut cannot.
The Light can appear hidden. The Light cannot cease to be.
The separate self can feel forsaken. The Centre has never moved.We Must Choose – Didache Perpetua Pais
We must choose that which Christ came to show us and to give us. We at COFE-CYEM fully confess the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Three in One God. We confess the Bible as being the true unquestionable Word of God. We also accept the Gospel of Thomas. We hold that the Holy Bible is true, accurate and absolute fact, and that the ‘Sacred Truths’ are fully revealed in (how) you read it, not just by reading it. (He who has ears, He who has eyes).

*
The Problem of False Preacher Teacher Clerical Ministering Within Modern Day Churches
The table of the Lord is Holy.
The food we receive must come from the Priest-King Himself—pure, undefiled, and flowing from the Holiest of All.
Yet in our time, that table has been defiled.
The church has become a place where food offered to idols is served. These idols are not of wood and stone but of political causes, cultural trends, social programmes, and false moral appearances. They are the idols of the age, and they have been brought into the sanctuary.
The Social Gospel, with all its political causes and cultural trends, is such an idol.
It sounds compassionate to the natural ear, but it sacrifices the true Gospel on the altar of this world. It offers earthly reform where the Priest-King Jesus Christ offers heavenly reconciliation.
It speaks of systems and power where He speaks of the cross and the throne of grace. It rearranges deck chairs on a sinking ship. It offers programs where it should offer presence. It offers politics where it should offer peace. It offers activism where it should offer adoration.
This is not the Gospel. It is a counterfeit—a substitute that speaks of earthly kingdoms while ignoring the heavenly. It is food wrapped in pretty paper, but inside is rotting meat. It is a deception, a snare, and a trap.
Congregations that consume this food are not being heart-fed; they are being mind-fed. Their souls are starved while their minds are filled with the philosophies of men. Those who serve this food as if it were the Gospel are not acting as faithful shepherds of the flock; they are leading souls away from the true pasture.
We make it very clear, we do not seek merely to promote our own theology within COFE-CYEM by pointing the finger at (any) other theologies, denominations or faiths. COFE-CYEM itself makes many claims around our theology, our belief system and our faith.
We do not expect or ask everybody to just blindly believe our way of seeing and believing. All we seek is to call attention to the issue of the church and faith itself being used as a Trojan Horse for (worldly) purposes in order to further the interests of man and not God Himself.
We implore our followers respectfully – if you ever feel, suspect or see anything whatsoever within our own theology or posts here on COFE-CYEM that you believe is pushing (worldly) purposes or schemes, then please call us out and expose us.
We are no different or more righteous than any other brother or sister in Christ. But if we were to be found (using) the true Gospel as a Trojan Horse to push a false Gospel for our own purposes – then we are truly lost indeed.
The Nature of the Deception
The danger arises whenever social action, political programmes, or cultural causes become substitutes for the proclamation of Christ crucified and risen, rather than fruits flowing from communion with Him.
The New Testament consistently presents love for neighbour and care for the poor as genuine expressions of faith, not as alternatives to it.
The error is not in caring for the needy or seeking justice. The error is in presenting such activities as the Gospel itself, or as a sufficient substitute for repentance, faith in Christ, and the new birth.
Those who preach this substitute gospel speak of power where the Priest-King spoke of weakness. They speak of victory where He spoke of the cross. They speak of this world as if it were the only world. They have departed from the faith and given themselves over to the spirit of the age.
They have exchanged the Gospel of the finished work for a gospel of social reform. They have exchanged the cross for a political platform. They have exchanged the throne of grace for a seat of power. They have exchanged the rest that remains for the restless striving of the world. They have exchanged the Holiest of All for the outer courts of carnal religion.
This is not a judgment on persons but a discernment of teaching. We do not know the hearts of those who preach these things, and we leave their final judgment to God.
We are called to test the spirits and to distinguish between the pure food of the Gospel and the poisoned food that has been offered to idols. The warning is not against individuals but against the teaching itself, which, however attractively packaged, leads away from Christ.
The Rot Beneath the Wrapping
False teaching often comes wrapped in the language of the Bible, the imagery of the cross, and the emotions of the congregation. It speaks of love, justice, and compassion, but it hollows out their meaning. It is like the fig tree that had leaves but no fruit—a show of life without the reality of life.
Congregations that consume this food are being fed a diet of politics, activism, and social reform, but they are not being fed the pure Word of God.
They are being told to fight for earthly causes, but they are not being told to enter the Holiest of All. They are being told to change the world, but they are not being told to rest in the finished work of the Priest-King.
They are being told to be activists, but they are not being told to be worshippers. They are being told to build the kingdom of God on earth, but they are not being told that the Kingdom of God is within them.
The food that is being served is a gospel of the flesh, a gospel of the world, a gospel of the age. It has no power to save, no power to transform, and no power to bring the soul into the presence of God.
It leads to exhaustion, burnout, and disillusionment. It leads away from the Priest-King, not toward Him. It leads to the outer court, not the Holiest of All. The invitation to serve God in the world becomes a substitute for the invitation to abide in Christ.
The True Gospel and the Mind of Christ
The real Gospel is not a gospel of prosperity, politics, or social reform disguised as salvation. It is not a gospel of emotional experience without transformation.
The real Gospel is this: Jesus Christ, the Priest-King has entered the Holiest of All through His own blood.
The veil is torn.
The way is open.
Every soul who draws near through Him receives mercy, finds grace, and enters the rest that remains.
He ever lives to make intercession.
He brings God to us and us to God. In Him, we are accepted. In Him, we are kept. In Him, the endless life of God flows freely to all who will come. That is the Gospel. Not a portion of it. Not a version of it. It.
The mind of Christ is not the mind of carnal man, which seeks power, recognition, and earthly comfort. The mind of Christ empties itself, takes the form of a servant, becomes obedient unto death, and is exalted by the Father. The mind of Christ builds the church on the rock of revelation, and the gates of hell do not prevail against it.
The mind of Christ measures faithfulness by abiding in the Father’s presence. Those who preach the substitute gospel do not have the mind of Christ. They have the mind of the flesh, the mind of the world, the mind of the age.
They have not entered the Holiest of All. They have not passed through the veil. They have not been cleansed by the blood. They have not received the endless life. They remain in the outer courts, serving the idols of the age.
The Call of This Hour: Wake Up and Return
The call of this hour is clear. The pews empty because souls are hungry for reality—not programs, not politics, not noise, but the living presence of God in truth. Congregations must wake up. They must open their eyes to the deception of false teaching.
They must stop eating the food that has been sacrificed to idols. They must return to the table of the Lord, where pure food is served—the finished work of the Priest-King, the open way into the Holiest of All, the rest that remains, and the endless life that flows from His intercession.
The table of the Lord has been turned into a place where food offered to idols is served. The Gospel of the finished work has been exchanged for a gospel of social reform. The cross has been exchanged for a political platform. The throne of grace has been exchanged for a seat of power.
The rest that remains has been exchanged for the restless striving of the world. The Holiest of All has been exchanged for the outer courts of carnal religion. The church has been used as a Trojan Horse for political purposes, hiding its true agenda behind the language of compassion, justice, and love.
The congregations that continue to consume this food are being poisoned. They are being led astray. They are being robbed of their inheritance. They are being kept from the Holiest of All, from the rest that remains, from the endless life, from the Priest-King.
The time has come for them to wake up. The time has come for them to return. The time has come for them to stop eating the rotting meat and to come to the table of the Lord, where pure food is served.
The true church of the real Gospel is often small, overlooked, and ridiculed. But it knows the voice of the Shepherd. It does not follow the stranger. It abides in the Word. It dwells in the Holiest. The true church does not eat food sacrificed to idols. It does not bow to the false gods of the age.
It does not compromise the table of the Lord. It preaches the real Gospel—Christ and Him crucified. It preaches the finished work. It preaches the endless life. It preaches the open way into the Holiest of All. It calls every soul to draw near. It calls every church to open the doors. It calls every believer to cease from striving and rest in the finished work of the Priest-King.
The Contrast: The Olive Tree and the Wicked
Psalm 52 powerfully contrasts the man who trusts in his own strength and deceit with the one who trusts in God’s unfailing love and flourishes in His house. The Psalm speaks of the wicked man who boasts of evil, whose tongue plots destruction, who loves evil rather than good, and who trusts in his great wealth and grows strong by destroying others.
This is the image of the one who trusts in his own strength, his own position, his own power. The Psalm declares that God will bring him down to everlasting ruin, snatch him up, tear him from his tent, and uproot him from the land of the living.
But the righteous is like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God, trusting in God’s unfailing love forever and ever. The righteous praises God forever and hopes in His name.
This is the image of the true believer—the one who trusts in the finished work of the Priest-King, who abides in the Holiest of All, who is sustained by the unfailing love of God through Jesus Christ who ever lives to make intercession.
The true believer does not boast in evil or trust in human schemes, false popular moral sounding social constructs or political power. The true believer trusts in the finished work of the Priest-King Yeshua Emet Melchizedek Salem—Christ Jesus—and abides in Him who has opened the way.
The Final Exhortation
The modern church stands at a critical hour. Many have turned the table of the Lord into a place where food offered to idols is served. The Social Gospel, with its political causes, cultural trends, and false moral appearances, has become the dominant offering.
It sounds compassionate to the natural ear, but it sacrifices the true Gospel on the altar of this world. It offers earthly reform where the Priest-King offers heavenly reconciliation. It speaks of systems and power where He speaks of the cross and the throne of grace.
We must not eat of any spiritual food that has been offered in sacrifice to an idol. The table of the Lord is holy. The food we receive must come from the Priest-King Himself—pure, undefiled, and flowing from the Holiest of All.
Those who preach the substitute gospel have turned the church into a platform for their political agendas. They have exchanged the Gospel of the finished work for a gospel of social reform. They have exchanged the cross for a political platform. They have exchanged the throne of grace for a seat of power.
They have exchanged the rest that remains for the restless striving of the world. They have exchanged the Holiest of All for the outer courts of carnal religion. They are not shepherds of the flock; they are servants of the spirit of the age, offering food that cannot satisfy the soul.
The true church of the real Gospel is often small, overlooked, and ridiculed. But it knows the voice of the Shepherd. It does not follow the stranger. It abides in the Word. It dwells in the Holiest. The true church does not eat food sacrificed to idols. It does not bow to the false gods of the age.
It does not compromise the table of the Lord. It preaches the real Gospel—Christ and Him crucified. It preaches the finished work.
It preaches the endless life. It preaches the open way into the Holiest of All. It calls every soul to draw near. It calls every church to open the doors. It calls every believer to cease from striving and rest in the finished work of the Priest-King.
The Fourth Truth stands. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains.

Jesus Embodied the Marginalized
Jesus was a Jewish homeless vagabond, born in poor conditions to a woman whose husband was not his father, raised a refugee in Egypt, despised by his own people, hated by the religious leaders, physically assaulted by law enforcement, and executed with capital punishment, even though he was completely innocent. He did not just reach the marginalized—he embodied the marginalized. His entire life said, “Pay attention to the least of these.”
You can’t preach Jesus as he is without Jesus as he was.

COFE-CYEM: The True Path of Knowing God by Not Knowing the False
*
Via Negativa and Via Positiva in COFE-CYEM: The True Path of Knowing God by Not Knowing the False
This paper presents a COFE-CYEM reflection on the relationship between Via Negativa and Via Positiva.
While it affirms the historic Christian faith centred on Christ, Scripture, and the gospel, several expressions — including “Fourth Truth”, “singular Reality”, “Melchizedek Priesthood”, and the various interpretive terms — are distinctively used within COFE-CYEM.
They are offered as explanatory language within this framework rather than as part of the historic Christian creeds or universally accepted theological vocabulary.
The Way
Even though the Via Negativa essentially rejects theological understanding in and of itself as a path to God, some have sought to make it into an intellectual exercise, by describing God only in terms of what God is not.
One problem noted with this approach is that there seems to be no fixed basis on deciding what God is not, unless the Divine is understood as an abstract experience of full aliveness unique to each individual consciousness, and universally, the perfect goodness applicable to the whole field of reality.
Apophatic theology is often accused of being a version of atheism or agnosticism, since it cannot truly say that God exists.
This cannot be said of COFE-CYEM theology.
We state very clearly that once Via Negativa is reached through the Fourth Truth, then Via Positiva can be truly experienced and truly knowing God by not knowing the false.
This is one of the main functions and purposes of our own built in system CC7 DS.
Please also see the link below –
The Fourth Truth Via Positiva Cataphatic Knowing through Via Negativa Apophatic Unknowing.
This is the heart of the COFE-CYEM way.
The Via Negativa is not an end in itself, nor is it a mere intellectual negation.
It is the necessary purification that prepares the soul for the full, joyful beholding of God in the Via Positiva. The two ways are not opposed but complementary movements within the singular Reality.
The Via Negativa clears away every “second” so that the Via Positiva can shine with clarity.
The result is the Fourth Truth Transcendence — the soul resting in the living Christ, knowing God by not knowing the false.
The Problem with Purely Intellectual Apophaticism
Some approaches to the Via Negativa have turned it into an intellectual exercise, endlessly describing God by what He is not. While this can guard against idolatry, it often leaves the soul in a barren negation without a positive ground.
There seems to be no fixed basis for deciding what God is not, unless the Divine is reduced to an abstract experience of full aliveness unique to each individual consciousness, or a universal perfect goodness applicable to the whole field of reality.
This can slide into a form of agnosticism or practical atheism, where God becomes so unknowable that He is effectively absent.
COFE-CYEM rejects this barren intellectualism. The Via Negativa is not an end but a means. It is the way of releasing every false image, every dualistic concept, every mental idol so that the soul may rest in the simple presence of the living God.
It is not the denial of God but the denial of every “second” that would stand between the soul and God. The Via Negativa is the practical discipline of Cofemplation: gently releasing every thought that implies separation until only the singular Reality remains.
The Fourth Truth as the Ground of True Apophatic Practice
In COFE-CYEM, the Via Negativa is grounded in the Fourth Truth: there has never been a second. This gives the way of unknowing a clear and fixed basis.
The soul does not wander in endless negation but releases every imagined separation, every dualistic construct, every false self so that it may rest in the One who is all in all.
The Via Negativa is the recognition that God is not ultimately known through concepts but through loving surrender. It is the way through the cloud of unknowing into the clear light of the singular Reality.
The Fourth Truth protects the Via Negativa from sliding into agnosticism or atheism. We state very clearly that God is, that Christ is the singular Life, and that the believer is already hidden with Christ in God.
The Via Negativa is not the denial of God but the denial of every false idea about God. It is the way of not knowing the false so that we may truly know the True.
The Fulfilment in Via Positiva
Once the ground is cleared through the Via Negativa, the Via Positiva can be truly experienced. The soul that has released every “second” can now behold the self-revelation of God in Christ with clarity and joy.
The Via Positiva is the celebration of the living God who makes Himself known in love.
It beholds Christ as the exact representation of the Father, Scripture as the living Word, creation as held within the one Life, and the indwelling Holy Spirit as the power of an endless life.
In the Fourth Truth, the Via Positiva is not opposed to the Via Negativa but its fulfilment.
The soul that has let go of every false image can now receive the true Image — Christ — without distortion. The Via Positiva is the joyful knowing of God by not knowing the false.
It is the soul seeing God not from a separate self in a body looking toward Him outside of you, but seeing your separate self in a body as God sees you from inside of Him, looking toward you and to who you falsely think you are in duality. God knows this to be a man-made idol illusion from the Fall and the first Adam.
The second Adam (Christ) came into duality to lead us back to our true self in non-duality with God.
The Practical Outworking in Daily Life
In daily life, the interplay of Via Negativa and Via Positiva becomes the rhythm of Cofemplation. When dualistic thoughts arise — fear, judgment, striving, separation — the Via Negativa gently releases them.
When the beauty of Christ appears — in Scripture, in creation, in the face of another — the Via Positiva receives it with joy. The soul moves between release and beholding, unknowing and knowing, until it rests in the singular Reality.
This is the way the believer lives in the world but not of it. Duality is seen for what it is, yet the believer engages the world from the place of union. The body is not denied but offered. The mind is not emptied but renewed.
The will is not crushed but surrendered in love. The believer serves the living God from the place of unclouded fellowship, seeing all things in Christ and all things held within the singular Reality.
Cofemplation
The Via Negativa and the Via Positiva are not opposing paths but complementary movements within the singular Reality. Only through stripping away all the falsity of duality and the false man-made mind idols and the dualistic thinking about who and what God is, can we then truly rest in who and what God truly is.
Only then can we start to be known and to know God as we truly are without false duality. God can accept nothing less or more than what He sees and knows in His Son. Then we can truly start to see and experience God in all we have to do with duality from our true reality within non-duality.
In COFE-CYEM, this is the way of Cofemplation.
The soul releases every “second” so that it may rest in the One who is all in all.
The Via Negativa clears the ground. The Via Positiva reveals the glory. The Fourth Truth holds both in the finished work of the Priest-King. The curtain is torn. The Holiest is open. The soul rests in the singular Reality.
There has never been a second.
The Via Negativa leads to release.
The Via Positiva leads to beholding.
The Fourth Truth holds both in union.
The dialogue continues.
The fruit remains.The Fourth Truth stands. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains.
