Complete understanding of the fullness of God (glory) is revealed to us only in spiritual consciousness (heavens). When we approach our spiritual journey, we must do so in childlike wonderment (out of the mouths of babes and infants). Children are like sponges; they absorb all information that they are given. Likewise we must absorb the knowledge that revealed to us. This is the only way to silence the ego and personal will (the enemy and the avenger).
In comparison, to the fullness of creation, who are we to be singled out for dominion? And yet the higher consciousness (heavens), the intellect (moon) and the human faculties (stars) were all created in the realm of Divine ideas, and have the potential of perfection. But mortal mindedness (viewing ourselves as separate from God) keeps us from attaining that potential.
We must know that we are created in the image and likeness of God (made them a little lower than God). God has given us the ability to control our relationship with the outer world (put all things under their feet). In order for us to become all that we can we must direct our life energy (beasts of the field, birds of the air, and fish of the sea) toward spiritual things. It is not that our natural faculties are bad; it is just that we have to be master of them and not allow them to control us. All of these are in the realm of our dominion.
True dominion is over the self, never over anything external. When we establish inner authority, it is reflected in measure in our outer world.
And so it is! Amen!
