So that my Father who is unseen before those of the world - my only Father - may be glorified. The
|
|
|
|
|
Merciful - Most Merciful - and Compassionate One, the Accepting of repentance.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
And so that the commandments may be obeyed by a lowly heart and poor spirit such as myself:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Love G!D with all your heart, soul, spirit, body, mind and psychic power and unknown powers
|
|
|
|
|
and any other powers you may have, and all your eyes - seen and unseen. This is the foundation of
|
|
|
|
|
the Law and the prophets - the first and most important and greatest commandment.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Love thy neighbour as yourself. This, the second commandment, is like it (the first commandment). :-)
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
To the disciples of the Anointed One, who calls himself the Son of Man: 'this is a new commandment I give to you.
|
|
|
|
|
Love one another as I have loved you. By this, the world will know that you are my disciples, when you love
|
2017-06-26 09:04:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
one another as I have loved you. (the 'I am', who have
|
|
|
|
|
spake unto you -
|
|
|
|
|
you, who argued among the numbers of you
|
|
|
|
|
about who the greatest
|
|
|
|
|
among you is - and who have saith to you
|
|
|
|
|
that the greatest among you will serve you).'

|
|

</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
And especially to my enemies who hath tormented me, (Man's ways all seem innocent to Him, but the LORD weighs each motive)
|
|
|
|
|
so that they may have the comfort of knowing they are not alone in their emotional upheavals, if G!D accepts their repentance
|
|
|
|
|
and reconciliation to G!D - for G!D knows and I do not know who or where or how or what G!D chooses to <strike>pour</strike>
|
|

breathe

|
|
|
|
His Spirit into. <br/>

And as an advance: worship me not - do not worship me. I am a servant of G!D, just like you. Worship G!D. I am nothing without
|
|
|
|
|
the Anointed One, Jesus, who calls himself the Son of Man, as the branch is nothing without the vine - or, as the leaf is nothing
|
|
|
|
|
without the tree.

It's the twenty-third day of my challenge to eat vegetarian for forty days.
|
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
|
I went to a gathering where people talked about Christianity. At the end, I wondered, aloud, what kind of person
|
|
|
|
|
G!D is. I said in the group discussion that I can't open my heart easily to Him, and told those people in the small group
|
|
|
|
|
that I am of the kind who are more suspicious. Afterwards, a <strike>woman</strike> person in the group came up to me
|
|
|
|
|
and said that she sensed yearning and a lot of resistance in me. She also showed me a quote by Joseph Campbell, which
|
|
|
|
|
went: 'the greatest treasures are in the caves that you fear most to tread'. She asked me how I was feeling. I told her
|
|
|
|
|
I felt thankful for the opportunity for discussion. I don't think that covered the depth of my feelings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am angry. I feel anger towards G!D. Where was He when I was hurt, upset or forced to do things [under oppression]?
|
|
|
|
|
How can the people at the discussion talk about G!D's plan for me, when He feels distant?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I feel naked. I feel like the outcast of the group in a reality show [on television], unable and unwilling to join the
|
|
|
|
|
group in their comfort, solidarity, trust and security in the group. I feel left out. I feel lonely. Most of all, I
|
|
|
|
|
feel afraid. I feel afraid to trust again in someone, something or G!D himself. I feel very vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I went to a <strike>psychiatric</strike> mental-health institution to seek help, attention and resolution. I expected
|
|
|
|
|
liberty, but I experienced coercion and oppression [even when I was finite in resources and energy, that is,
|
|
|
|
|
more precisely, needy, as in one of the needy or poor]. I learnt that I could not leave the ward at Acme Institute,
|
|
|
|
|
even if I wanted. [the name of the institute is masked, or anonymised - Jesus said: 'Be merciful, as your Master, who bought you for a price,
|
|
|
|
|
is merciful]. I learnt that the doctor, people who spent time with me previously (who said, "I am your father" and
|
|
|
|
|
"I am your mother"), and the social worker decided where and when I would stay and/or leave the ward [in the sense that
|
|
|
|
|
their approval, or authorisation, or their company, was required, for those to happen, as I had observed]. I was
|
|
|
|
|
pressured into taking <strike>medication</strike> by nurses, despite my
|
|
|
|
|
wishes to not consume them;
|
|
|
|
|
I was threatened with an indefinite incarceration in the hospital.
|
|
|
|
|
although i wanted to leave, I could not. how can people
|
|
|
|
|
say G!D has s plan for me when G!D feels so
|
|
|
|
|
far away as I went through that?

heart.</strike>
|

It felt like a piece of cloth being thrown against

my face. 'You don't have to earn that love,' that person

|

said. What if that was true? How can I trust G!D

|
|
|

not to hurt me? How can I trust G!D to not leave

me on my own? How can someone say, 'If you believe in

|
|
|
G!D, you will go through suffering' so matter-of-factly?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't want.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why does G!D make me suffer? If He is there, why does
|
|
|
|
|
G!D allow people to suffer? Very briefly, I also
|
|
|
|
|
wonder how we can end suffering, G!D or not.

you have made me to be like a fool - boasting

I do not count myself among the most

eminent apostles, or the so-called super-apostles or uber-apostles. Still, I ought

|

to be receiving commendations from you lot. For we of the spirit of G!D

walk in each other's shoes, along the same path, and there

is no male or female, Jew or Gentile,

outsider or insider - all are one

|

through the Anointed One who calls himself Son of Man, Jesus,
|
|
|
|

son of Mary, who conceived with the help of G!D when no man has

laid a hand or rod on her. This is to build you up.' <br/>

As a verse in

Bible goes (yes, another Bible verse :-D ), (so grateful for Scripture), 'two is better

It is the fifteenth day of the second month of the 105th year since a worldly nation

cease or stop whatever He is doing to remind me of Him when I think
|
|
|
|
|
about creating a mother-figure that I have lost. <br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I feel grief at such a time - why? G!D, what is the message
|
|
|
|
|
behind these feelings of loss and anxiety? <br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I recall the octopus that I coloured rainbow, when
|
|
|
|
|
I was in kindergarten [before the age of seven, as the layman
|
|
|
|
|
knows it]. I felt hurt and unhappy that I had to colour it another
|
|
|
|
|
colour for [the] grades. I feel frustrated and boxed in.
|
|
|
|
|
I feel [like] that [feeling of] a square peg in a round
|
|
|
|
|
hole. I feel furious!
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Like Father G!D [who is in Heaven and unseen and has no beings attached],
|
|
|
|
|
I created. That was an octopus
|
|
|
|
|
that could only be found in the rainbow
|
|
|
|
|
that formed from the dew-drops in a magical forest.
|
|
|
|
|
It was an octopus that you had to call into existence,
|
|
|
|
|
and to transfer to a water body large enough to contain
|
|
|
|
|
it. It was killed by the teacher, who was an alien in
|
|
|
|
|
disguise[,] and disliked magical beings.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
No matter how much I create, I won't be able to create a
|
|
|
|
|
mother-figure <br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>from the writer: As written in Scripture, 'a wise son brings
|
|
|
|
|
joy to his Father; a foolish son brings grief to his mother.'</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Oh G!D, I am grieving. No matter how much magic I do, I won't be
|
|
|
|
|
able to get the same mother-figure, nor the memories of the times
|
|
|
|
|
with her. I lost someone who could have made great memories with me
|
|
|
|
|
as her son. She won't get any more memories with me.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>
|
|
|
|
|
from the writer: 'I despise all those who cling on to worthless idols
|
|
|
|
|
or carven images, or images of G!D, who has no beings attached.
|
|
|
|
|
All those who would speak up for worthless idols are foolish fools.'
|
|
|
|
|
All these can be found in Scripture, which implies you have
|
|
|
|
|
to take up a quest to search, if you will, and if G!D is willing.
|
|
|
|
|
'I have observed an abhor-able, horrible thing in Ephraim and Israel:
|
|
|
|
|
my people prostituting themselves to other gods!' The LORD G!D says.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|

I thank G!D who hath counted me among ministry, and enabled me to me
|
|
|
|
|
among the faithful.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I praise You, G!D, for you have shown lovingkindness. I will tell the
|
|
|
|
|
world about your wonderful deeds in my life, You who
|
|
|
|
|
grant even passage of boats across oceans and unknown waters,
|
|
|
|
|
and brings wealth from the sea, houses I did not build,
|
|
|
|
|
rocks that I did not create, life I did not call into being,
|
|
|
|
|
fruits I did not sow the seeds of, and even divine reconciliation
|
|
|
|
|
to G!D and godliness, a peace that the world does not give,
|
|
|
|
|
and a redemption and promise and eternity that the world cannot
|
|
|
|
|
give - does not give - and You are sure to keep Your promises, O
|
|
|
|
|
G!D of Truth and truth and Ruth and Naomi, who asked to be
|
|
|
|
|
named Mara, which means 'bitter', for she was embittered, even
|
|
|
|
|
though her name, 'Naomi', meant 'pleasant'.
|
|
|
|
|
</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
It seems as if G!D wants me to go to Him as He creates, not stay on my side,
|
|
|
|
|
looking for Mother.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>from the writer: oh, how horrible - looking for Mother, so-called mother.
|
|
|
|
|
</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Whenever the mother-figure came into my life, she is dead now. I have hardly
|
|
|
|
|
any memories of her; the feeling remains in me.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>
|
|
|
|
|
From the writer: No longer. Rejoice in the LORD. I say again, rejoice!
|
|
|
|
|
You were bought with a price. Remember G!D's terrors, signs and wonders
|
|
|
|
|
that He hath rehearsed to you. Everybody has heard about your obedience,
|
|
|
|
|
and I rejoice. As the Son of Man said, 'Blessed are you who
|
|
|
|
|
are mourning, for you will be comforted.'
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
As Scriptures have on record: 'little ones, continue doing what
|
|
|
|
|
you are doing. Your Father approves.' <br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
On a related note, since came to Mind, people asked or told Jesus,
|
|
|
|
|
who was teaching in a synagogue: 'Your mother and brothers and sisters
|
|
|
|
|
are outside the city gates, waiting for you.' Jesus said,
|
|
|
|
|
'my brothers and sisters and mother are those who obey G!D,
|
|
|
|
|
and keep His commandments, and obey them.' This is in Scripture, too.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
On yet another related note, a famous Zen saying goes,
|
|
|
|
|
'When you see the Buddha, kill him! When you see your parents, kill them!'
|
|
|
|
|
As fierce as that may 'sound', G!D will show you Truth and truth, if He is willing,
|
|
|
|
|
and if you try your best (with all you have: your time and energy and
|
|
|
|
|
resources) to seek Him. For as Scriptures say: 'Seek ye G!D with all your
|
|
|
|
|
heart, and ye shall find Me'. And as the Son of Man said
|
|
|
|
|
to those who said to those who cried to him - 'We want to enter
|
|
|
|
|
the kingdom of G!D, too! We want to enter into Paradise! How should we
|
|
|
|
|
do it?' - 'the road to the kingdom of G!D is a narrow one. But try your best.'
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
On yet another related note, the Buddha was asked which was more
|
|
|
|
|
important: wisdom or compassion (something like lovingkindness). The Buddha
|
|
|
|
|
answered: 'Effort. Effort is most important'.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
'Brothers and sisters, I do not think I have made it my own. One thing I do:
|
|
|
|
|
forgetting what lies behind, and pushing on-ward, for the upward call of G!D
|
|
|
|
|
through the Anointed One, Jesus, through whom I am crucified unto the world,
|
|
|
|
|
and the world unto me.' This is in Scripture, too.
|
|
|
|
|
</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
There is no one woman who is Her, or can compare to Her.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>From the writer: oh, how disgusting. Kimochi warui, a Japanese expression
|
|
|
|
|
or pronunciation goes. Feeling a sense of despise.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
On a related note, 'Kimochi warui' is the last line in the ending scene
|
|
|
|
|
of a movie in the animated story, 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', which is
|
|
|
|
|
described as 'anime (or animated stories) for adults'. The ending scene
|
|
|
|
|
featured a cross that evokes a remembrance of the crucifixion of
|
|
|
|
|
a famous figure. A sacrifice, scary in nature or feel, if you watch
|
|
|
|
|
the scene, of the protagonist, who is somehow in a robot that
|
|
|
|
|
seems to be- well, G!D knows, and I do not know. For these are worldly
|
|
|
|
|
things, yet the series is popularly posited to be subtly
|
|
|
|
|
touching on themes of psychology, if you believe the rumor that goes around,
|
|
|
|
|
and yet Bible - Scriptures - express concern that 'I will not like
|
|
|
|
|
what I see in you when I come to you, and you will not like
|
|
|
|
|
what you see in me. What I will not like to see in you:
|
|
|
|
|
deceitfulness, divisions, jealousies, gossip and gossips, slander,
|
|
|
|
|
arrogance against godliness, and delight in wickedness.'
|
|
|
|
|
So, on that note, praise be to G!D, who is true, and keeps promises
|
|
|
|
|
that He makes - I prayed to G!D, the Blessed Father, Ruler of the Universe,
|
|
|
|
|
who causes boats to have integrity throughout journeys and pilgrimages
|
|
|
|
|
across waters, Hallowed Name, and The Almighty One, who is All-knowing,
|
|
|
|
|
All-hearing, All-seeing, heard me and listened. I prayed to Him
|
|
|
|
|
to remind me to fear Him always, 'for fear of G!D is the beginning
|
|
|
|
|
of wisdom, but fools despise wisdom and instruction, or Guidance', as Scriptures
|
|
|
|
|
have on record, and He answered my prayer.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
On a related note, the ending of the popular anime, or animated story,
|
|
|
|
|
Full Metal Alchemist, featured a sacrifice of the protagonist, that is
|
|
|
|
|
strikingly resonant with the death and resurrection of the dead
|
|
|
|
|
that Scriptures have on record: 'unless it is what I have spoken: that
|
|
|
|
|
I have hope of the resurrection of the dead'.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Glory be to G!D in the Highest, and peace be upon those whom G!D favours.
|
|
|
|
|
Now, may the love of G!D, and the fellowship of those who are in the
|
|
|
|
|
Spirit of G!D, and the grace of the Anointed One whom we call Teacher
|
|
|
|
|
and Lord, who calls himself 'Son of Man', be with you all.
|
|
|
|
|
(and so it is).
|
|
|
|
|
Amen.

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5523892-jesus">book</a>
|

[that is] titled 'Jesus', [and] written by Chopra D.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>from the writer: as written in the Quran, 'Enjoin what is right, avert Evil for Good
|
|

|
(as Scriptures have on record: 'I want you to be wise about what

|
|
is good, and innocent about what is evil')
|
|
|
|
|
and do righteousness (righteousness? turning
|
|
|
|
|
to the East or to the West is not righteousness. Obeying
|
|
|
|
|
G!D, and believing in the one that G!D sends (has sent... is sending...
|
|
|
|
|
has been sending... will send... on all of these things - G!D knows
|
|
|
|

them - those are righteousness, as written in the Quran).

|

|
|

I did that on the Internet. Chopra advises the reader to embrace
|
|
|
|
|
optimism optimism as a way to focus on G!D and good things,
|
|
|
|
|
to journey inward towards G!D. In the spirit of [G!D] and that

advice [which G!D hath enabled me to received - how blessed He

It is the seventeenth day of the sixth month of the 106th year since
|
|
|
|
|
G!D gave people the comfort of a nation to call their own, regardless
|
|
|
|
|
of whether they honour G!D or not, or whether they seek Him, or
|
|
|
|
|
seek to know Him, or not. <br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Blessed is He who have enabled me to be literate in reading,
|
|
|
|
|
computing, computer operation. Who? He who hath
|
|
|
|
|
enabled me to be among the Believers - even me,
|
|
|
|
|
a worm and little one such as myself,
|
|
|
|
|
who stole food from shared fridges during a difficult time,
|
|
|
|
|
despite an obvious argument for the case that 'Food theft
|
|
|
|
|
is a crime' that G!D hath brought me to read at that time.
|
|
|
|
|
What looked like a construction to ward away thieves. And
|
|
|
|
|
which thief or theivess is more wicked and ungrateful than
|
|
|
|
|
myself? Electronic letters subsequently promised expulsion
|
|
|
|
|
from the residence that I was at, or
|
|
|
|
|
'demerit points' (which indicates how close you are from
|
|
|
|
|
expulsion), if the person who executed the theft was found.
|
|
|
|
|
A thing, that looked like a glass ball that was chopped in half
|
|
|
|
|
and had its guts glued onto the ceiling of the kitchen that
|
|
|
|
|
the shared fridge was in, did not and had not deterred me from
|
|
|
|
|
stealing. <br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I was hungry, and there was food. And, thought I to myself,
|
|
|
|
|
'who is there to catch me?' And it was thrilling to see who
|
|
|
|
|
could catch me while I was pinching bits of pastry away from
|
|
|
|
|
bags that I did not put into the (shared) fridge. <br/>
|
|
|
|
|
And yet G!D hath seen it fit to keep my very soul under His
|
|
|
|
|
care - and watch - so that a wicked theivess as despicable as
|
|
|
|
|
myself may operate a computer to <strike>tell</strike>
|
|
|
|
|
speak of His deeds in my life.
|
|
|
|
|
For as Scripture says, 'Thou shalt not steal.' Yet G!D has
|
|
|
|
|
seen it fit to keep me in His mercy instead of calling
|
|
|
|
|
fire down from Heaven upon me at the moment of my theft, or
|
|
|
|
|
causing the earth to open up and swallow me whole.
|
|
|
|
|
(And He even summoned bits of my soul that I thought I had
|
|
|
|
|
lost).
|
|
|
|
|
And Scripture comes to mind: 'You were bought with a price'.
|
|
|
|
|
So it seems fitting to sum up with a verse from the Bible that is
|
|
|
|
|
related to the Anointed One, who died to pay for the wrongdoings
|
|
|
|
|
of many against godliness and their very souls themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
'The commandments "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder,"
|
|
|
|
|
"Do not steal," "Do not covet," and any other commandments,
|
|
|
|
|
are summed up in this one decree: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/13-9.htm">
|
|
|
|
|
(Romans 13:9)
|
|
|
|
|
</a> <br/>
|
|
|
|
|
And at this point, G!D hath seen fit to remind or bring me
|
|
|
|
|
to another verse:
|
|
|
|
|
'Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love,
|
|
|
|
|
for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.' (Romans 13:8).
|
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
So, if G!D is willing, I will offer - to <strike>sender of the electronic
|
|
|
|
|
e-mail</strike>
|
|
|
|
|
fellow creations of G!D who
|
|
|
|
|
were associated to the shared fridge that
|
|
|
|
|
I have stolen from - whatever that G!D hath brought into my life, and given me
|
|
|
|
|
freely. For as Scripture records, "'Freely you have received,' Jesus said.
|
|
|
|
|
Now, freely give."
|
|
|
|
|
(the
|
|
|

So, with gladness and merriment will I contact whoever G!D brings me to, who

yoke when he revealed the following

verses to me: 'He who has received much, much will be asked of him.'

Further, He hath warned me about the hearts and minds of men:

'Not many of you should become teachers, for we are judged more strictly

|
|

than others. And we indeed make many mistakes. If a man has no fault,

his body in every way.'

It is the eleventh day of the second month of the 105th year
|
|
|
|
|
since Man built a city with G!D's help and provisions
|
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I went to a gathering of people today,
|
|
|
|
|
where people talked about hearing voices,
|
|
|
|
|
and their experiences. J, whom I met at the
|
|
|
|
|
meet-up, said that the people
|
|
|
|
|
were sharing personal experiences,
|
|
|
|
|
not giving advice,
|
|
|
|
|
and that was a plus. <br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
A [']Japanese woman['] talked about her
|
|
|
|
|
experience of sexual abuse by her father,
|
|
|
|
|
and her perspective on it: that it was
|
|
|
|
|
a dark side of her life which she accepted
|
|
|
|
|
as a whole, together with the 'light'.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>Writer's note: she also shared that her marriage
|
|
|
|
|
had... problems. Well, G!D knows truth, and I do not
|
|
|
|
|
claim to be G!D
|
|
|
|
|
</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I was surprised to discover that her story resonated with me. What
|
|
|
|
|
happened sexually [or spiritually] between my [']father['] and I,
|
|
|
|
|
when I was a [younger] child? If something did happen, where is my
|
|
|
|
|
focus - is it on blaming my [']father['], or on reflecting on
|
|
|
|
|
what is inside me<strike>,</strike> that is causing such an
|
|
|
|
|
incident to be mirrored in the outside reality?
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
My body and feelings seem to remember, even though I do not.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I want the truth. Could it be that I could not bear it now?
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I feel discarded, like I was a dirty piece or towel. I feel
|
|
|
|
|
jealous that my [']father['] is spending time with my [']brother['].
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>from the writer: Jesus said, 'You are the salt of the earth. But if salt
|
|
|
|
|
loses its saltiness, who can make it salty again? It is no
|
|
|
|
|
longer good for anything, except to be thrown away, or trampled upon.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Jesus (who called himself the Son of Man) said, 'I am the Life, the Truth
|
|
|
|
|
and the Way.'
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Jesus said to a man, 'Come, please follow me.'
|
|
|
|
|
</i>
|
|
|
|
|
I remember that these feelings
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/><i>Jesus said, 'Can a blind man lead another blind man? Would
|
|
|
|
|
they not soon fall into a ditch?'
|
|
|
|
|
</i>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
I remember that these feelings are a shadow of a concrete event
|
|
|
|
|
from my past, and that there is a message or lesson to be learnt,
|
|
|
|
|
that is beneath these feelings.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, Father G!D, Abba, lift these feelings so that I can learn
|
|
|
|
|
and <strike>learn</strike> and hear and listen! In the name of
|
|
|
|
|
Christ Jesus, I ask this. <br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
How do I view my [']father[']? What aspects of him do I not like,
|
|
|
|
|
and what do those reflect of myself? What I dislike about
|
|
|
|
|
him can be found within me. He was ignorant. He is unsensitive,
|
|
|
|
|
cowardly, indecisive, spineless, dull, quick-tempered, slow,
|
|
|
|
|
boring and controlling. What does that say about me?
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<i>from the writer: Jesus, the Anointed One, died to reconcile
|
|
|
|
|
many to G!D, in one eternal sacrifice. One sacrifice for
|
|
|
|
|
all eternity, in other words. (and it is divine in nature,
|
|
|
|
|
a sacrifice the world cannot give.)<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
As Scriptures say, 'All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures
|
|
|
|
|
of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can
|
|
|
|
|
tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
|
|
|
|
|
With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men,
|
|
|
|
|
who have been made in God’s likeness.
|
|
|
|
|
Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing.
|
|
|
|
|
My brothers, this should not be!
|
|
|
|
|
Can both fresh water and bitter water flow from the same spring?
|
|
|
|
|
My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs?
|
|
|
|
|
Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. [on the Wisdom from Above]
|
|
|
|
|
Who is wise and understanding among you?
|
|
|
|
|
Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility
|
|
|
|
|
that comes from wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy
|
|
|
|
|
and selfish ambition in your hearts,
|
|
|
|
|
do not boast in it or deny the truth.
|
|
|
|
|
Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly,
|
|
|
|
|
unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition
|
|
|
|
|
exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
|
|
|
|
|
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure,
|
|
|
|
|
then peace[-]able, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and
|
|
|
|
|
good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in
|
|
|
|
|
peace reap the fruit of righteousness.

With G!D's help, I have a chance to praise Him
'And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles,' the LORD G!D saith.

of the 105th year since G!D let Man name a

|
nation with a name that G!D taught Man

|
|
instead of angels (whom G!D
|
|
|

asked what the name was, and who said,

'Yes, G!D, we do not know', and who were

Joanna A, my [']rehabilitation counsellor['], said

yesterday that circumstances that cause stress
|
|
|
|

can cause a [']relapse[']. She talked about
|
|
|
|
|
warning signs of a [']relapse['], and actions to
|
|
|
|
|
take during a [']relapse[']. The latter includes
|
|
|
|
|
calling her, or checking myself into
|
|
|
|
|
[']hospital[']. I find it ridiculous and
|
|
|
|
|
counter-intuitive that when stress arises
|
|
|
|
|
[or rises] you run away from the stress-causing
|
|
|
|
|
factor, rather than find ways to cope
|
|

with it, or de-stress, such as getting enough

|

sleep, or exercising regularly, or

them responsible for what happened, and those

It is the thirtieth day of the tenth month of the 105th year since aliens
|
|
|
|
|
were freed from oppression in a land that produces green grapes, with the help
|
|

|
|
of G!D, who reminds these aliens not to oppress other aliens among them, since
|
|
|
|
|
they know what it is like to be oppressed, in the land that produces green grapes,
|
|
|
|

themselves.

<p>Dead tree, how old were you when you died? [what's your name?]
|
|
|
|
|
Do [Oh] you have children? who were your parents? Who killed you?
|
|
|
|
|
Or was it a natural death?
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Very little makes sense in my world, dead tree.
|
|
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Some part of me is thinking [or thinkin' or think'n]
|
|
|
|
|
what to do with your killer, if you were killed. Another part of
|
|
|
|
|
me accepts that this small mind is unable to understand everything
|
|
|
|

everything about you and your death.
|

<p>

I'm sighing. If people do kill trees, why

do they do it? And how can they be stopped from
|
|

|
|
doing so?

<p>My Zen teacher [who is practising the Sanbo tradition of

the Zen traditions, which may (or may not)

have a tradition that is unknown to me, (why

do I say that?

I am not a man of great wisdom. How can I know
|

|
|
|
whether there is a tradition that is being
|
|
|
|
|
practised or not, or is Zen or not?)
|
|
|
|
|
that include the Soto tradition and the Rinzai tradition.
|
|
|
|

And G!D knows what is Zen, and I do not know. Yes,
|

|
|
G!D knows, and I do not know.

<p><i>from the writer: 'Interestingly enough,

it is a known saying among those who are related or

associated to Zen, that the student that is just
|
|
|
|
|
as bright as the teacher can pass down, or impart,

|

fifty percent (that is, half of a whole thing. half

|
|
|
|
of a thing that is whole
|

|
) of what

|

the teacher teaches. The student has to be brighter

than the teacher, for what the teacher is passing down
|
|
|
|

through the student to be passed down in full.' (laughing.

'Pastor', and so on and so forth, but- (greeted in market-places,

|
|
|

they love to be, too. And given the best seats in public, love they.

And honourable places in synagogues or places where hierarchy or
|
|
|
|
|
a so-called 'chain of command' or an authority or power
|
|
|
|
|
distribution is obvious. Or just to have their 'name' displayed before the world,

they love. Or ranking. Or display of their so-called 'level of power' or

'power level' or place among rank and file.) But, you: do not desire

|
|
|

to be called 'Rabbi', 'Instructor', 'Alpha' or 'Omega' or so on and so
|

forth, because you have only one Instructor or Teacher, and that is the

Christ, the one who has the Name. And all of you are brethren, or

one Omega.

Who is He? As it is written in Scriptures, the LORD G!D says, 'I am the First

Is there one who is like me? No, I know no other Rock. I know no other Stone.

I know no other god.' LORD G!D saying, 'Who among you can tell what will happen tomorrow?

Gather your diviners and tea-leaf-readers and fortune-tellers and palm-readers,
