Awareness of.....

...the Spirit within

I have a mind supported by my body. And I have a spirit which was waiting when I was born, for it to be, in a manner of speaking, to be born again. 

My life is spent from tabla rosa to developing this spirit via my belief and strengthened faith. Jesus, the Christ, sent as a messenger from God as His first and only Son, explained this spirit to the world. 

In ancient times, God placed things, convictions of ideas, in the hearts of the prophets. Jesus was given power for us to become sons, or daughters, of God. This, for me, is my capsulized way I am looking at my embryonic life.

Tomorrow is another day

Why does God love worship?

....because only the true creator can love, forgive and forget anything not being loved. There are many things that create a sense of love, but then later turns out to be the opposite.

For instance, I do not believe there ever are any accidental overdoses. In many, if not most, pleasure seekers situations turns the final struggle to achieve, not pleasure, but the abs cense of pain.

God not only forgives but ancient writers tell us He forgets altogether. He forgives because He loves, which is why He creates. On the other hand, for believers, worshiping God is ecstatic.

It is an obvious law that to lift anybody up, one has to in the process lift oneself up, as Booker Washington is accordingly quoted.

Love is most powerfully observed when loving the unloved seems impossible. This is so because it is not just beneficial to the one is loved. This is why Jesus, most holy, died for unholy sinners. Tonight this is my hastily offered take, at any rate. God wants us to follow all His commandments about the unloved for our own sake.  

Once a man....

....twice a child.

Back to my roots?

Tomorrow: predicting is not proving?

Harder in the nut

I sometimes wonder how small things can get before they disappear. Disappear that is for me. I saw a dust mite once that would clean my clock if I were to meet its' size larger than myself in a dark downstairs staircase.

We think we know the universe is expanding, but it may be it is merely our perception that is expanding. How could I be sure? 

Another thing, how did the earth's crust get so beautiful with the core so molten hot? The know there are theories but the truth of the matter might surprise us all.

My mother used to say from time to time, He made the world out of nothing and hung it in an empty space. Oh well, she probably read it somewhere, what does she know?

How some ever, sometimes the most unbelievable nonsense can make a person wonder after the sun has gone down.

Time enough for the seen world

This Way to the Egress

There were so many uncountable days already passed before I was born. There will be even more days flicker by in all their darkness and dawn days to come. And all for my wearying wasting flesh of this seen world I cling to so desperately. 

The truth cannot be told by those who know, so said

the a most famous successful stock trader earlier in the century, after he shot himself in a fancy downtown hotel. 

He was talking about pools, but I can see clearly now that it has something to do with my strange perception of time when I framed a summer as forever when I was young and at blink speed now that I am old. 

How can I own anything at this rate? In that blink I can maybe control something, but I owned nothing at my coming out party, and nothing when I am eventually, too soon, am directed to the egress.

My inner instinct, placed there as well in others, cannot help but believe anything once started is not going somewhere yet unseen. 

Easy with the Hard

The Devil is in the Void

Will we be able to recognize family members when we enter the unseen? That is an easy one. Of course, we will we each see each other the exact way we saw each other in another, other than the present tense we want, time.

This one is harder. What if we would want to see someone in heaven who is not. Now if we wanted to see one's faithful dog in heaven, that is easy enough, but if they had not accepted God, what then?

A heaven without one's loving faithful forgiving dog is not much of an heaven it would seem to me. I listened as an eleven year old boy was told from the pulpit that he could not. Why? Because a dog has no soul. 

I was incensed! I should not, but I was. That preacher did not have as much love as any dog I would say. Twain said it more cleverly, how there was more

Little Butter Pittstin

deserved love in most dogs than in many people. 

But what about a loving mother for her unbelieving son? Now I am getting too close to the nitty and the gritty. We are all going to be born, I believe, after this embryonic life born tabla rosa, to what we believe, what then? 

My view is to accept the fact I do not know the answer for everything. I may later on, but at any rate, not now, and likely not even then.. I am happy with everything God comes up with because He knows the eventual entire circumstance, since He spoke it that way. 

And since He always starts in love I expect everything to turn out there, after all His words will not return to Him void.

Bluster Cannot Hide Itself

What is it the godfather said? To be quiet indicates confidence, to be loud hides fear or uncertainty? Never let anybody know you are worked up, annoyed, or any other similar emotion.

Anyone who shows they are angry should realize their emotion is tipping their hand, letting others know they are out of control and scared. So I am convinced that anger is a weakness that shows one is, not able to defend themselves.

Was Jesus ever angry? Exasperated I would say, so you bet, and I would not want to be in His line of fire because His exasperation had power and truth behind it evident to this very day. If anyone thinks Jesus was murdered then they could not have had their sins forgiven. 

Be unconcerned of the one who can kill the body, be afraid rather of the one who can kill the spirit, He said. Eternity is a long time if we come to think about it. The body cannot out last it. 

Time and Questions are

Revealing Our Ignorance

Why is it when we are young time stretches out before us so forever? When we become old we do not even want to accept it. And why is it those who know the  truth cannot even tell it. The young know all about being old until they get there themselves. The old know all about being young but cannot do anything about it or even tell about it.

I think our perception of time proves the existence of God. Time is always in the present, the present tense because in eternity there is no time. 

Existence is productive and positive. God has to be if He is to exist. Evil is forgotten out of mind, like it is said, as a dead man out of mind.

Every question we answer fauns further questions we did not even know existed before. More knowledge is more questions, revealing we were all along yet again more ignorant than we realized or will realize. 

Without questions we have no possibilities of answers or knowledge. When we will know it, I mean know it all? We all know what know it alls know. Don't we?

I think God has me on a string. And I am the yo-yo. There may be something to be said for relaxing and enjoying it.

The Truth in the Meaning

 If a truth never happened and only the meaning is true, then can the meaning be true if it never happened? If it never happened in the seen and it is only true in the unseen, what then are the implications?

This is what I am wrestling with now. Is the present tense the only tense in eternity? Another chestnut is thrown into the crackling fire.

God loves because He is the creator

Expressing gratitude to God is speaking the language of love. Jesus Calling, (Sarah Young translation, from Bibles.)

Everything once existing.......

.....exists forever. This a well known quote one can find on occasional gravestones by the hopeful occupant. One was Claude Rains the English actor buried in New Hampshire, who was well liked by the sparky Bette Davis.

I always understood the basis of the quote rested more in the scientific world than anywhere else. But it was taken to be true because of scientific understanding of the metaphysical across the board.

I think it probably is quite true. However all things spiritual are rooted in belief and the faith in that belief. Jesus said that if anyone had enough belief they could do anything, even root up the mountains and cast them into the sea.

Others, including some Christians, understand it however to be only figuratively true. I believe the more charismatic individuals among us, including the anti-Christs, will continue to gather more lesser mass individuals into their orbits, not unlike any celestial object we can observe up there, hung on nothing.

The Truth Cannot Be Told.....

....by those who know. Famous quote by Jesse Livermore, who altho a natural great trader from his youth who made and lost four million four times in the early turn of the last century.

He was speaking however of pools that were common at the time where several large traders ran up stocks only to dump at the top. His fatal flaw was trying to corner the coffee market and in doing so lost everything because he did not understand that if you corner a market you kill it altogether.

The jewel that is lost is found

.He established bonds funds for his family and in a fancy restaurant, during the FDR administration, shot himself in the head. Proving that the game is more important to keep alive than the players. I, however, thought it was all close to the truth where one cannot comprehend, unless they are in the path of truth themselves. In other words, those born again, cannot really make any real sense if it for anyone else, until the others are ready to be born again themselves. Either God draws them, or He doesn't, Jesus said.
