..,,.a philosopher, are you?
The ETERNAL God/creator is identified as "I AM WHO I AM" (Exodus 3:14 and 15). The only way we can TRULY relate to God is by being who we truly are (no hypocrisy). The creator sent Jesus to be GOD IN COMPLETION/entirety (this is the age of ETERNITY and Jesus is the ETERNAL sabbath).
Your speech might be difficult to follow at times and people might not always be sure of your spiritual faith and understanding, but you seem to be relating to Him more noticed ("SELF"/inner man is an uncommon realization).
..."His Spirit in the INNER MAN" is what we all should have, but man's "wisdom", books and protocol/procedure has gotten in the way of "the inner man".
Have confidence faith in yourself and wait for God to show you what to do for the dross filled body that needs to be shaken so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
When Jesus was in the desert, the objective was that Jesus WOULD BE TEMPTED, so satan couldn't simply show Him all the kingdoms in this world, satan had to show them from the standpoint/reference point of "TIME" (Luke 4:5, "in a moment of time").
Seek the ETERNAL God.
..."It is the Spirit that gives life".
Our ETERNAL God sent us the ETERNAL Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14) so that we could live life to the fullest and have "SELF".
