| Are we hiding inside something? |
Everything works together
In a finely balanced harmony
How vast and awesome the universe is! Where did the idea come from for God to hang the earth on nothing, in an empty space? The mingling colors and the movements, the sounds and the smells? More spectacular than the power bringing everything into being, is perhaps having the singular idea of it all in the first place. Born in a hallway of tabula rosa I could never conceive of it.

The mind, without hope, can commit the body to suicide. But the mind cannot commit the spirit to suicide, with or without hope.
The spirit knows nothing of suicide in my view, or it would negate itself. Therefore it would not be spirit. Hope sustains my spirit. But the mind cannot help my body with or without hope. My mind cannot even measure time correctly, else how could time be so draggishly slow and later find it so fancy dancy fast? That means my perception is wagging out of tune somewhere. I think time, being singular, because it exists only in the comparative state everywhere, generates correspondently different signals everywhere, could be one conclusion. So hope must be very important to my existence, should I desire it, as I do.
The seen world is all change
So why are we so wary of change?
Why is it that we cling to the seen world so strongly when Jesus says their is no future in the flesh? It is only the spirit which gives life. Even the mind of the flesh will die, even as the spirit continues. Is that right? We can only conclude that God, as the fountainhead of all existence, caused the universe to come into being by the design of His choosing. Enter those whom He spoke into existence who were given awareness of all things including good, and in particular, evil. These things we introduced into the entire mix, much of which quite a few blame God. This, despite our many transgressions that violated the sense of justice God placed in our hearts. It is better to depart this world and be with Jesus in the spirit says Paul. Later....maybe I should not be thinking of these things. This might be where faith enters into the picture?

| Now we see thru a glass darkly but soon face to face. |
All politics is gossip since it depends on hearsay
Instead of people said being of weak minds I would favor the term ineffective reactionary talk, rather than weak minds. There is a place for personality but I prefer somewhat lightly on politics as an end game. Incidentally we seem to find everyone and their brother credited with the same universal quote. Origin, it seems, has very little to do with "people said." |
| Arose from the dead |
Who am I? A nobody! But if Moses, with his reputation, said God told him, Moses, something I should think anyone would listen. But then too if Moses said God Himself told him something, I would think anyone should take it on good authority.
Stepping beyond that, if God says in the Bible, how He wants to be known forever throughout all generations, I have to believe anyone should take it to some note..... unless of course... if they believe the Bible amounts to unbelievable myth, with believable meanings, or else they just do not want to believe it, if they do or did.
Reminds me of a Luke 16:31 parable where Abraham was told if someone went to them (his brothers) from the dead, and Abraham replied "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead." Well, I am certainly not going to be the one to wrestle deeper into this issue.
...to the scholarly significance of "I am"
Interesting reading my first I am commentary but it was somewhat dull and circular. Never figured out where it was going, so finally set it aside. It will take a lot of digging to discover what so many words mount up to in the conclusion, when one can get there. The silence, in my ears anyway, was deafening. So I am parking it for now. I have a more intriguing issue looming.
In Exodus 3 Moses, who is our authority in this matter, asked God who shall he say sent him?
God answered I am who I am and later in Chapter 15 said, This is my name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.
I have been reviewing what the scholars say about this and will consider their general outlook and questions of validity. After my revelation, in time I recognized instantly I am who I am meant Existence. Therein lies the core reason for these blog entries.
"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever: that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be with you.
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:16-18
Probably a well worn idea, but it occurs to me I could place my favorite verses on file cards. This would group my healing verses together. One never can tell when I might need to access them quickly.
In Manna today I recount my second epiphany accepting the direction that saved me from drowning. I accepted it as one not thinking, but rather more like one watching a movie. I am hard pressed now to avoid the conclusion I had not yet learned to think. Even now I can wonder. After all, reverie is not exactly deep thinking. Much , if not all, of what I am doing here is trying to figure things out.
