...an analogy...
we are wheat berries (kernels)
our bran is our flesh suit and our outer exterior facade of tact/response/communication
our endosperm is our thoughts/mind/talents/personality/raw self without the regeneration of YHVH
our germ is our spirit/will/intention
when we are broken for usage in contract as bond-slaves to any action, our bran is what comes into contact with the thing for the purpose of striving towards that goal
it is our endosperm that is subject to the leavening agents. when we try to expand or puff up or add to ourselves without the subjugation to the bran of ourselves (the leading of our reborn self in true intention) we substitute out something that is not our true created self (our germ)
YHVH is the farmer, he sows the world into fruition
the messengers are the harvesters for they bring in the wheat and leave the tares
sin is a celiac disease which rots our bodies from within
the only way to become reborn is to have the germ inside of you
again, leaven changes the endosperm making it appear something that it is not... when an article in any cooking process is used, to make it malleable for usage, a leavening agent is added to create tiny air bubbles in the substance
the substance LOOKS better but is weaker for the process
the substance TASTES better but is looser and less sturdy
the substance SMELLS better but cannot withstand change
the substance FEELS better but cannot undergo pressure
leavning is appealing but leavening makes one weak
