The Seat of Consciousness: Reflections on the Strawberry Moon
Testing the Spirits | 1 John 4:1-5 (ESV)
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.
The Demons and the Pigs | Luke 8:29-36 (NLT)
Jesus demanded, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied, for he was filled with many demons.
The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.
There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons begged him to let them enter into the pigs. So Jesus gave them permission.
Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned.
When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran.
People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.
Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Jesus Sends the Seventy-Two | Luke 10:3-12 (NLT)
The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit. These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.
Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.
Don’t take any money with you, nor a traveler’s bag, nor an extra pair of sandals. And don’t stop to greet anyone on the road. “Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say, ‘May God’s peace be on this house.’ If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you. Don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay.
“If you enter a town and it welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you. Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’
But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, ‘We wipe even the dust of your town from our feet to show that we have abandoned you to your fate. And know this—the Kingdom of God is near!’ I assure you, even wicked Sodom will be better off than such a town on judgment day.
The Joyful Return | Luke 10:17-21 (NLT)
When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!”
“Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.”
At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and he said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.

The Seat of Consciousness: The Song of the Slandered | Psalm 109 (BSB)
O God of my praise,
be not silent.
For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me;
they speak against me with lying tongues.
They surround me with hateful words
and attack me without cause.
In return for my love they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
Set over him a wicked man;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayer be regarded as sin.
May his days be few;
may another take his position.
May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
May his children wander as beggars,
seeking sustenance far from their ruined homes.
May the creditor seize all he owns,
and strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May there be no one to extend kindness to him,
and no one to favor his fatherless children.
May his descendants be cut off;
may their name be blotted out from the next generation.
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD,
and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
May their sins always remain before the LORD,
that He may cut off their memory from the earth.
For he never thought to show kindness,
but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted,
even to their death.
The cursing that he loved,
may it fall on him;
the blessing in which he refused to delight,
may it be far from him.
The cursing that he wore like a coat,
may it soak into his body like water,
and into his bones like oil.
May it be like a robe wrapped about him,
like a belt tied forever around him.
May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers,
to those who speak evil against me.
But You, O GOD, the Lord,
deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name;
deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.
For I am poor and needy;
my heart is wounded within me.
I am fading away like a lengthening shadow;
I am shaken off like a locust.
My knees are weak from fasting,
and my body grows lean and gaunt.
I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads.
Help me, O LORD my God;
save me according to Your loving devotion.
Let them know that this is Your hand,
that You, O LORD, have done it.
Though they curse, You will bless.
When they rise up, they will be put to shame,
but Your servant will rejoice.
May my accusers be clothed with disgrace;
may they wear their shame like a robe.
With my mouth I will thank the LORD profusely;
I will praise Him in the presence of many.
For He stands at the right hand of the needy one,
to save him from the condemners of his soul.
