While the Anglican Church (formerly the Church of England) may have had its origins around 1530, the head of this church was not a good role model and the early church was also used to "legally steal" land from Catholics. Thus it would have been much later when deeply spiritual men and women began to build a Life in the Spirit. Anglican Life in the Spirit is not that advanced.

Reflect on the diagram.  Compare this to the Catholic equivalent and also consider the Theologians Faith Path. Those red red lines represent "barriers of truth". Catholic Faith Paths don't have these. The reason for these areas is a divided loyalty of the Anglican - to the "throne" or the "church'? Each person climbing into Life in the Spirit must be clear which "master" they serve - and many people can never pass this because they serve the Queen or King and not the "King of Kings." Except for those red lines, this conceptual view is the same for Roman Catholics and Anglicans.

In a grand vision of hills overlooking an ocean, Amy an Anglican Reverend stood in an elegant dress. Imagery ideal but like ordinary life. She looked like a woman nine months pregnant. Opposite her Darth as a man formed. "The child is yours and mine." Amy patted her pregnant tummy. The vision altered to the inside of an Anglican Church. Amy was a most attractive female image, be she pregnant, and was standing in a wedding garment. Images of men and women, small mental images, formed in the pews. For most Anglicans, a setting in a church would be their first introduction to the mystery of faith. At Amy's insistence, Darth in a blue suit with a tie also wore a white label with the words "Holy Spirit." "Your rather attractive Reverend," Darth pointed to Amy as he walked among the pews, "claims she is pregnant and I am the father in the spirit. Reminds me of the story of Solomon and the two women each claiming to be the mother of the child." "What is your wish, my wife to be?" Darth walked to the front. "In heaven they neither marry or are given in marriage." Amy smiled. "I will that to be the key into this new Anglican Life in the Spirit. A group guided by the Holy Spirit directly." The imagery went silent, motionless, and then a faint flow from Amy's heart. "I want truth to be told." "About?" Darth turned to Amy. "About many things. The commandment of God is "do not steal" but Jesus told his followers that if a man steals a coat from you, give him the other coat. Explain that please." Amy replied. Darth walked among them. "Salvation in this sense depends on grace not law. Why does a thief steal? A thief has a need. It could be a financial or psychological need. Jesus asks his followers to understand the need of the soul of the thief, and to help reduce the suffering of the soul that turns to stealing. Thus a thief may break the law, but a thief may also have the grace of God." "Why is this all so simple when you explain it?" Amy smiled and walked to her man, gave him a kiss, put her hand around his upper arm. She looked a touch off putting because she was most attractive in these settings but her pregnant tummy was ever so big. "Why did Jesus forgive a prostitute?" A woman in the pews asked. "A prostitute often comes from sexually abusive backgrounds as children. Too often, such abuse takes place in the name of God. True, there are some personality types known as psychopaths for whom being a prostitute means a simple way to earn a living, but these are extreme exceptions. So, when Jesus told his own that he without sin was to cast the first stone, about the only person who could do this was one who had examined every aspect of what made a woman turn prostitute, and understood this was her personal choice and not because of serious abuse she had suffered as a child. It is a question of understanding. To throw stones at a woman who suffered bad physical abuse, is to participate in child sexual abuse and to approve of what had been done to her." "In a way, such sinners became the first disciples." Darth continued to walk along the aisles between the pews. "If there was a God, such men and women reasoned, that this God understands why they sin and even continue to sin and does not blame them for the way they are or have become. This is the kind of God such people wanted to learn about." "And when Jesus turned to Mary Magdelene and said "sin no more", what it meant is that he had healed her spirit, and her years of sexual abuse as a child became instantly forgotten and now she was free to make her own decision, no longer compelled by anger, whether she wanted to remain a prostitute. As we all know, instead of continuing this profession, Mary Magdelene made a choice to follow Jesus, her lord. But you know, modern psychiatrists sometimes use much the same technique, they make a person forget years of sexual abuse and that can heal the spirit in a person. So perhaps Jesus did not perform any miracle in this act, but his ability to relate to a soul was perhaps much more refined than the skill of modern psychiatrists." Darth walked to Amy and whispered. "These are silly truths. Any person can work these out if they apply themselves to the task. Is this the truths you meant?" "Silly to you, important to my people." Amy smiled. Darth's telepathic children, imagined walking into the church. They tended to want to experience different Life in the Spirit. Amy motioned to them to walk to the front pew and take a seat, which they imagined doing. Then Helen, Darth's wife of the truth, in a red ladies suit, also imagined sitting next to the children. The vision changed to the spirit - small reddish and white dots, the sense of divine presence in these visions incredibly strong. In the vision they were small people dressed like people in Jerusalem might have dressed, and they were watching a man carrying his own cross and followed by Roman soldiers. In this image Helen and Amy looked ever so similar. Amy turned to Sara, asking, "in this comparison, which one of us is Mary the mother of Jesus in this sense and which one is Mary Magdelene?" "You want to know the truth?" Sara answered. "Helen is a Holy Rabbi." "Ah." Amy decided. The vision altered back to the church. From small incredible imagery made of dots, kind of cartoon imagery, back to more or less ordinary life images. "When you exit the deeper states of the mystery of faith, people in ordinary life can start looking ugly no matter how good looking they are. This varies with age - for a girl say nineteen, a man in ordinary life say twenty three may look like an ancient old man while in normal ordinary life this small age gap may not be an obstacle to a romance. All this is only a temporary effect. In the spirit, there is so much divine beauty that we sense and feel, but the human brain can not easily adapt to such states, so for a time as it tries to adapt, everything around you can look ugly and sad or even evil." One of the male Ministers (in fact most likely an Anglican Priest, the Anglican church has this lower and upper church mentality and in the upper there are priests), turned to Darth. "Could we skip all this? I have no doubt, Amy has no doubt, that you are who you are. Can we please develop a powerful Anglican Life in the Spirit?" "I don't mind and that is what I am about." Amy replied. "But the deeper into the mystery we climb, the more problems with the brain and mind adapting once we exit the spirit. This has to be done in steps. Our congregation needs to understand simple things such as why for a time everyone and everything may look so ugly after an experience in the spirit." "I confer." John the Anglican priest nodded. "Words of wisdom love." Amy smiled at Darth. "To our new evangelical group." "The journey of life is infinite." Darth began to walk among the aisles. "The path to the Way, Truth, and Life, is narrow and few find it. Once you are in the spirit, your sole aim in life should be to understand more and more, to strengthen your faith and partake of the mystery of the Gospels. This is a believers groups. Not quite the same as the spirit. In time, a spirit will be born from all of us present in this group. In the image of Adam and Eve this will take place. The principle in all known Life in the Spirit can be explained as "faith" and "will". Faith means strong belief. Faith is what the boys and men learn to sustain, while "will" is something girls and women learn from one another. A balance between faith and will is what sustains a Life in the Spirit group." "The women in this group must learn "will". Do this by comparing ideal to how things are in ordinary life. This is an Australian specific Anglican group. The legal system in Australia is very poor - it requires much money to obtain justice else court orders can be literally sold through legal firms. Many women who find a way to our door, may have done so by having a bad experience with law or courts of law. Thus their will is automatically attune to the negative aspects of law. Some women will have a positive experience, and in this way the will is more balanced. In the spirit, even in believer's groups, we stick to our law which is the Word of God. In the spirit, this Word comes to you as needed and cleanly and without confusion." "The men are dependent on the women's will. If this is not done correctly, even weeks of confusion or disorientation can result in ordinary life. The women's will does not allow control to any man unless the will believes such a man has adequate faith to restore the will of the women to how it was." "In any Life in the Spirit except Roman Catholic, the woman is the more important partner to a friendship in the spirit. What I mean is that Amy is an Anglican but in ordinary life I am a Catholic, but when in the spirit with Amy my allegiance lays with the Anglicans not Catholics. This is true of Islam and Jews in the spirit and even Buddhism - but Roman Catholics in the spirit are slightly different in that it is the man's faith that determines his partners or wives allegiance." "The Ways of Life, true Life in the Spirit, that existed at the time of Jesus were run along the lines of the tribes of Israel. A woman who chose a spiritual union, a marriage in the spirit, with a man from a different tribe, would also accept a tradition of being the wife of a man's faith. Christianity, in its early days, was completely acceptable by Jews. It was another Jewish Way of Life in the spirit. There were some prosecutions of course but that was no different to any other Way of Life when some younger people felt theirs was the only true Way and the others false. The division between Christians and Jews came much later." "The apostle Judas in Christian myths is said to represent Jews who betrayed Jesus. Not at all. Jesus came to the sinners, not the righteous. It was vital for Judaism that the scriptures which foretold of the coming of John the Baptist and Jesus, and his death on the cross, would be fulfilled. Judas was acting in accordance with the will as Jesus was. Jews did not betray anyone nor killed Jesus because it was the Romans who did. Jews in the know made sure the scriptures were fulfilled because that is what Jesus and John the Baptist were about. This is important because when we attain, in our journey, to the step at which the words of Jesus "The Father is Greater than I" come to us, that means were are grown up enough in the mystery to understand the Holy Ways which are the Father Jesus usually referred to." "In Life in the Spirit, we stick to the Word of God as the spirit reveals that to us. It is almost always consistent with keys in the Old Testament or the words attributed to Jesus. Not always the same in the sense of syntax but near enough. Roman Catholic Faith Paths are extremely strong in the spirit so in that sense some can act as our guides. In the spirit, the theology of the church is meaningless - the Paths stick to the Word of God meaning for Christians the New Testament. I suggest this ought to be much the same in this group - whatever the Anglican theology in ordinary life, in the spirit we stick to the Word of God." "Why am I explaining all this? Because Amy had made sure the will of the women of this group was unlocked and you came higher into the spirit. Only your men of faith, or one man of faith, can restore the will of the women. So I am explaining all this to ensure your will, the will of women in this group, is again restored." "Why would a woman accept a husband in the spirit? Only when she knew without a doubt that man, her husband in this sense, had sufficient skill to restore the will of women if need be. Note that I said skill and not faith. A will can be restored by someone familiar with the principle, someone experienced at doing this, or by someone with strong faith. I chose the former technique with you. Let your faith be sufficient for you for now." "Life in the spirit is not heaven. It is the promised land, yes, and it is the Kingdom of Heaven, yes, but it is not heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven also dwells among you of course. As our souls refine in the spirit, this flows on to better ethics and morals in ordinary life and that can not be bad. It may not always flow on to improved relationship between marriage partners in ordinary life or even their children. Too much mystery of God is a yoke around some, even seemingly very religious, people. Take care in that regard. Use your common sense." "A marriage in the spirit is not just a simple friendship. A woman places enormous trust in a man when she accepts him as her husband in the spirit. Not a light responsibility. In so doing, she and her husband become heads of a Life in the Spirit group - but that means each must be prepared to crucify themselves in the long term interest of a group. Few men, few women, have that strength. Few men, few women, have that faith and resolve. The Kingdom of Heaven is for the children of God but heavens, and deeper mysteries, are for Servants of the Most High. Do not seek the step you are not prepared to take." The mental imagery changes to what seemed a recall from ordinary life. In one memory a man in a hospital ward while his wife was giving birth; in another image a woman giving birth; the two memories overlapped. The visual returned to the Anglican church setting. Darth explained. "The first strong physical personal recall was of myself with my wife in ordinary life who was giving birth to our first child. The second was Amy and she giving birth to her first child in ordinary life. The bond that forms between a husband and wife in the spirit, is very strong. In a way, it is the spirit that is telling Amy "this man is your new husband" and the spirit is telling me "this is your new wife." Of course, what exactly does it mean for two people not married to each other in ordinary life, to become husband and wife in the spirit? That is up to the couple to work out." The mental imagery changed and all the group could see two people, a man and a woman, aged perhaps between 25 and 30, stepping out of an airplane. They walk hand in hand as lover might on a honeymoon. The mental imagery changed back to the church setting. "That is our honeymoon. Amy with the help of the women in this group, had worked out an equivalent of a honeymoon in the spirit. So it begins with myself and her as newlyweds arriving in some...tropical island?...paradise and for as long as it takes, we get to know one another. The group does not see any of that, it is private of course between two people. Amy works on finding her own will sufficiently strong to form a unique person to person connection. So while she is still practising this, this group may see some of these mental images, but they will fade when Amy has full control of her will and her marriage in the spirit. Of course, like in any Life in the Spirit, magical visions and indeed some splendid spiritual visions will begin as our journey as a group continues. We seem to have a few younger people in this group and a kind of dating club in the spirit may be something worth working on too." Darth returns to Amy who whispers in his ear. "Finish off properly please." Darth turned to the congregation, walks to the centre, and flows, "I am the Lord your God. I give you waters without price from the fountains of life. In heaven your soul now rests in peace, on Earth you may have tribulations.While you may not understand this well, all of you in this group have given up all you have to follow Jesus. Your journey begins more formally now, as toward the cross we head and through the cross to a true Life in the Spirit."
