Come together in the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace…
shalom…
“I came to give you Peace, not peace as the world gives…I give you My Peace” ~Jesus the Christ
“Come to me and I will give you rest” ~Jesus the Redeemer
“In the world you will have tribulation, but in me you will have righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit…the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven” ~Jesus the Messiah
unity is not sameness; unity is the same HOLY Spirit
shalom is not tolerance of evil, but going beyond good and evil in Christ; shalom is the deepest, highest, breadth, length, fullness, completeness of Christ in you, the Spirit of God in you…His righteousness in you where the fruits of righteousness are automatic…an orange tree gives you oranges; a Christ tree gives you only Christ…
“Abide in me, and I in you” true shalom…
“I am the Vine, you are the branches” of the tree of life flowing with the river of water of life from the throne..that will flow from your belly…
New Heaven on Earth! 
Yes, I feel Christ in the beauty of the mountain paradise that is Winter Park, CO… with 5 inches of new snow glittering like diamonds on the ground and the beauty of the trees, emanating Nature’s/ from Christ ‘a lady bing presence within and outside me in this heaven on earth!
Love you, sister!

Don’t know where that typo came from in my last comment ( a lady bing?)
It was supposed to be ‘Christ’s presence’

This is so much what we need right now! Unity in the Spirit. I love your thought that a Christ tree gives Christ. One of my spiritual brothers says that when we bleed, we should bleed Christ. Love you!

Hi Christophe! always great to have your comments here! 🙂
Revelation says “the Lamp” is the Lamb of God so in that respect there is only one Lamp,
and Luke 11:33-36 says there is the light that is Light and light that is darkness that we don’t want…
so if it is the original Light that came from the initial Word “let there be Light” or “Light, be!” in every human being recreated in Spirit, born of God anew, renewed in the image and likeness of the Creator of heaven and earth, then Yes!
but if the fallen light of lucifer then NO!
I have realized more and more that words that we think have the same meaning can be used in different contexts to convey an entirely different meaning…
that is why spiritual discernment is so critical today…there are so many counterfeits…
“See to it that no one makes prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ, for in him all of the Godhead bodily dwells in him” Colossians 2:8-10
“Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness”
I have realized lately how important it is to be watchful and awake and alert and pay attention to what we let in our eye gates, ear gates, mind gates, heart gates…not discriminatory but wise discernment!
“Blessed are the pure of heart, for they see God”

Yes, the same words or symbols can have different meanings in different traditions, cultures or religions, so we must remain alert and use spiritual discernment to compare and “translate” from one to the other, but of course a different use doesn’t necessarily mean there was a duplicitous intent. The quote sounded pretty innocuous to me. I assumed in that particular context “lamps” meant human beigns or at least human bodies and “light” meant the divine presence or wisdom within them, because when we look at an actual lamp, it is an object through which light comes but it is not the light, and the same can be said of human beings, divine light can come through them, but they are not that light, at least not when they are in their physical bodies. Now, that light doesn’t shine as bright in each of us and can be dimmed by the false light of the mortal mind or the counterfeit lights of worldly beliefs, but we can clean our lamps and make our light shine brighter as we dwell in love, faith and honesty, until the only light shining in us is indeed the light of Christ, the ultimate true Lamp/Lamb of God. Christ being the one great Lamp and human beings being smaller, ancillary lamps that need to attune themselves to the great Lamp so they can become one with it!

spiritual discernment!
Holy Spirit translates to our heart and mind which spirit it is OF, a human spirit, satanic/luciferian spirit or the Spirit of God! key for being in the world but not OF it; heavenly ambassador’s to earth; OF the kingdom of God!!!
