No! None of what you assume is what I am talking about!!
What I am saying is, everyone of us, since physical birth, are being programmed by the physical world around us, by our parents, TV, friends, school, church, etc.
For example:
When I say "The devil", most people immediately have a cartoon picture in their minds, that the devil is of the color red, and has a tail with horns on his head. Is that biblical?
Yes! The words red, tail, horns and head, are all there, but it's not how we first perceived it, as it is depicted by a cartoon, or any other visual image that has been impressed upon our minds, during our youth.
From there, as we get older, it only gets worse, and becomes more subtle and intense.
.
Here are a few more words, that have preconceived thoughts and images racing around in our human minds: God, Heaven, Hell, death, soul, Jesus, eternity, etc.
.
Many of us are unaware, that by all that false imposed imagery, of false programming, for the perception of our reality, it is heavy laden with LIES of numerous interpretations.
Whether that be done by others or our own selves,
the problem is our human minds are full of lies, just as is a full glass of dirty water.
.
Now, since we can't take our minds out and put them in a sink, for a good cleaning, the erroneous information and imagery that has taken deep root, can only be DISPLACED by God's clean "living water", HIS Truth, which is HIMSELF, which is "another Mind", aka "another Comforter", being that of the Person of His Holy Spirit, deposited within us, "along side" of our own mind.
The word "another", as in "another Comforter" means "along side", in the TR Greek.
.
So then, as would be a glass full of dirty water, by pouring in "clean" water, the dirty water is eventually displaced with clean water.
