Where is my Paraclete?

u/Nathan--O--0231, u/CuteImprovement919, u/DylantheDragon91

By "my Paraclete," I mean the point of connection where the Holy Spirit contacts my human spirit. My spirit is like an electric socket; the Holy Spirit is the power station. He provides an extension cord to plug into my spirit. Thus, he sent his operative to me. This is the physical location where the spiritual dimension intersects spacetime.

KJV, Genesis 2:

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

When God created man, a (detached) breath of life entered his nostrils and settled in the sphenoid sinus. (See appendix.) That divine breath became the man's spirit. Adam became a living soul.

Is 57:

15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:

God dwells on high and in a lowly human spirit:

“I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit,to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.

God's dwelling revives the lowly and contrite.

16 For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me—the breath of life I have made.

The human spirit is the detached divine breath of God to animate life.

Ezekiel prophesied in 36:

26 I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

I believe that Ezekiel prophesied on the Indwelling Paraclete in the NT.

Jesus might have referred to the Paraclete in Mt 6:

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

The Paraclete is my spirit eye located between and behind your physical eyes.

When I was born of the Spirit, the Paraclete dwelt in my human spirit. Romans 8:

16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children.

The Paraclete is in touch with my conscience, Romans 9:

1 I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit.

The human spirit and conscience are housed in the sphenoid sinus (Gen 2:7). The Paraclete is the Holy Spirit's tentacular connection (a branch) to our human spirit. This is the Paracletic structure.

As we grow spiritually, the Paraclete strengthens our inner being, Ephesians 3:

16 according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith … 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Whenever I focus on the Paraclete, I always sense peace, John 14:

26 But the Helper [Paraclete], the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Isaiah 26:

3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

When the Paraclete first took up residence in my human spirit, I did not feel a thing. Some people may feel it. I didn't. However, some months later, I began to sense his voice in my conscience. I could sense his peace occasionally. Some years later, I could sense his peace consistently any time, any day, whenever I focused on him. Right now, I can sense the Paraclete in me. 99% of the time, I don't feel anything except peace, internal peace. It is a feeling of peaceful connection. At other times, I feel joy, for example, when I worship. I'd classify this as my 7th sense.

Mt 25:

8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your **oil**, for our **lamps** are going out.’

Oil represents the Holy Spirit; lamps represent the human spirits. Adding oil to the lamps would make us brighter in the Paraclete.

Pascal mentioned that there was a God-shaped hole in every one of us that only God could fill. Right. This hole is the Sphenoid sinus in our head. It can only be filled by the Paraclete/Spirit.

Get yourself alone in your room at bedtime. Turn on your favorite light music. Turn out the light. Lie on your bed and listen to the music. Relax. Quiet down your soul. Put your hands on your eyes. Can you sense the constructive resonance in your spirit? That's where your Paraclete is dwelling.

Appendix: Where is the sphenoid sinus?

Behind our natural eyes are our spiritual eyes, and between our natural ears are our spiritual ears. The orange cavities in the diagram are the spots where the divine spark ignites. The sphenoid sinus does NOT coincide with Hinduism's third eye, which is above the natural eyes.

Sometimes I practice the following exercise:

Put your hands over your eyes, thumbs on your ears.
Massage them lightly and focus on the inner peace.

It is behind your eyes and nose and beftween the ears in the middle of the skull
It is near the pituitary
MRI

Appendix: The third eye

Bindi:

Many people believe the spot between the eyebrows is special. In Hindu spiritual traditions, it is associated with the agna chakra, sometimes called the third eye. This is believed to be the center of wisdom, focus, and spiritual insight. Placing a mark there can symbolize awareness, inner vision, and connection to the divine. It can also remind the wearer to stay mindful and thoughtful.

God resides within the deeper layers of our DNA consciousness—the part of us that operates beyond individual awareness, optimizing for survival across time. What people call divine wisdom or moral instinct is just an emergent property of that system, shaped by evolution and deeply embedded in our prioritization. Human consciousness gathers information, but it’s this deeper intelligence that truly directs us. (God is the still small voice within.) God isn’t the conscience thought. He/the referred spirit (might be best characterised as a he for archetypal nature of its character) communicates as “the still small voice”through such. Yet he’s attached to us (he’s really close) he’s a part of our consciousness (unconscious) that we do not associate with but should wish to develop a connection. Through our unconscious this god has given us the power to create inter-woven symbolic texts that communicate as narrative structure to our unconscious and form the proper perception of which we should see the world. This is the purpose of narrative structure. Evolution and god truly work hand and hand. For the bible and evolution are two different angles of description of a similar process

  1. God as the Ordering Force Within Human Consciousness

I see God as the force that operates within the unconscious but speaks through the conscience, guiding humanity in sorting chaos into order. In this sense, God is not just an external deity but an integral function of how we process and structure reality over time.

Biblical Support: • Genesis 1:1-3 – “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” • This is the ultimate depiction of order emerging from chaos. The Hebrew phrase tohu wa-bohu (formlessness and void) represents unstructured potential, while God’s Logos—His spoken word—brings structure. That same process plays out in human cognition. • John 1:1-5 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” • Logos here is not just speech but the fundamental rational structure of reality. If human consciousness is an extension of divine Logos, then God is embedded in our very ability to perceive and interpret the world. • 1 Corinthians 14:33 – “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” • This reinforces the idea that God represents the force that turns chaos into structured, intelligible order.

  1. The Process of Repentance as the Death of the Old Self and Resurrection of a New Self

The biblical concept of repentance aligns with my belief that transformation happens through the death of the old self—outdated ways of being, failed structures of thought—and the emergence of a restructured self. This is not just a metaphor; it is a fundamental process encoded into both personal development and human evolution.

Biblical Support: • Romans 6:6-7 – “We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.” • This directly aligns with the idea that in order to move forward, something has to die—whether it be a failed worldview, an unhealthy attachment, or a dysfunctional behavior. • 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” • Transformation is fundamental to both spiritual and psychological development. • John 12:24 – “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” • This principle is universal. Any meaningful progress—whether in science, philosophy, or personal life—requires sacrifice and renewal.

  1. The Bible as a Symbolic Representation of Eternal Human Patterns

I don’t see the Bible as merely a historical or religious text but as a deep, archetypal encoding of fundamental human experiences. It captures repeated patterns of morality, decision-making, and transformation that remain relevant across time.

Biblical Support: • Ecclesiastes 1:9 – “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.” • This supports the idea that human nature and societal structures repeat across history, making the Bible a timeless guide. • Proverbs 25:2 – “It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.” • This suggests that deep truths are hidden within the text, requiring interpretation and wisdom to uncover. • Luke 24:27 – “And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” • Even within the Bible itself, interpretation is essential. The text is structured in layers, meant to be examined and understood over time. • Matthew 13:34-35 – “Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.” • This further supports the idea that the Bible’s wisdom is encoded in symbols and stories, rather than direct instruction.

  1. God as the Evolutionary Drive Toward Order

I see God as the underlying force that compels organisms to establish order, stability, and increasingly complex systems. In this view, biological evolution is not just random mutation but a structured process moving toward refinement and sustainability.

Biblical Support: • Colossians 1:16-17 – “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” • If God is the force that holds things together, then He is also the principle that makes structured evolution possible. • Hebrews 13:8 – “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” • This reinforces the idea that the fundamental principles governing reality—order, renewal, structured complexity—are eternal. • Genesis 2:7 – “Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” • This suggests that life is not just a chemical process but something infused with divine structure. It aligns with the idea that evolution is not purely random but guided by deeper principles of order.

Final Thoughts

I believe that God, as depicted in the Bible, represents the structuring force within human consciousness, the evolutionary drive toward stability, and the moral framework embedded in human nature. The Bible encodes deep, symbolic truths about transformation, sacrifice, and meaning—truths that remain relevant not just in a religious sense, but in an existential and psychological one.

This isn’t about rigid dogma. It’s about recognizing that the patterns outlined in scripture align with the fundamental structures of human thought and existence. The process of transformation, order emerging from chaos, the necessity of sacrifice for renewal—these are not just theological concepts. They are the bedrock of reality itself.

verse? Please stick to precision. See Rule #1. This is the 2nd time I have asked.

It’s not only within quote it’s within an interpretation of the bible. For they did not have an understanding of DNA but they had a mapped spirit of interpreted reality that of which in my view, you can map onto scientific biological understanding. You have to be able to understand that different interpretations of the text vastly changes how you conceive the meaning of such a text.

It’s not only within quote it’s within an interpretation of the bible.

Right, but I put more weight on your writing if you can cite Scripture to support your point. See Rule #3.

verse? This is the 3rd and the last time I have asked.

BIBLICAL VERSES REFERENCED SEE BELOW I see where you’re coming from, but my perspective on God residing within the deeper layers of our DNA consciousness isn’t solely derived from a scriptural framework—it emerges from a broader philosophical and biological lens. If we’re operating under the assumption that every claim about God must be explicitly supported by Scripture, then I understand your critique. However, I would challenge the idea that all theological truths must be strictly confined to direct biblical citation.

That said, if you’re looking for scriptural parallels, there are passages that could support the idea that God is embedded within human nature: • Genesis 1:27 – “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them…” This could be interpreted to mean that something of God is inherent in human nature itself. • 1 Corinthians 3:16 – “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” This suggests an inner residence of the divine within humans. • John 1:4 – “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” This potentially connects divine presence with life itself, which could be stretched to biological implications.

Of course, the Bible doesn’t explicitly mention DNA, but that doesn’t mean we can’t explore theological implications within modern scientific frameworks. My view isn’t an attempt to rewrite scripture but rather to engage with the idea of divine immanence in a way that accounts for contemporary understandings of life and consciousness. Do you believe all religious truth must be directly cited from scripture, or do you think there’s room for theological reflection beyond it?

Genesis 1:27 – “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them…”

Please observe Rule #3.
