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>

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?

I don't want.

G!D allow people to suffer? Very briefly, I also

wonder how we can end suffering, G!D or not.

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
|
|
|
|
|
|
than one. if one falls down, the other can help the one up. if there is only one going at
|
|
|
|
|
|
it, that one has calamity upon them... him... her...'

It is the fifteenth day of the second month of the 105th year since a worldly nation
|
|
|
|
|
|
was publicly recognised. ('For everything of the world passes away, and is passing
|
|
|
|
|
|
away,' as Scripture has on record.)
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
I'm frustrated at my Heavenly Father's presence,
|
|
|
|
|
|
whenever I think about a mother-figure. It seems that He will not
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

It is the 27th day of the first month of the 105th year since people found a nation
|
|

|
|

that they had been searching for. <br/><br/>
|

I browsed through a

|
|
<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
|
|
|
|
|
|
and I know not :-) ), and obeying G!D's commandments, and keeping
|

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

Another book comes to mind:

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/13th-Disciple-Spiritual-Adventure/dp/0062241427">'The thirteenth disciple'

|

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

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

|
'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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anointed One called himself Son of Man, but Joseph named the
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anointed One 'Jesus' upon the visit of an angel of G!D, who
|
|
|
|
|
|
gave him instructions on what to name the new-born. And Joseph obeyed G!D.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, with gladness and merriment will I contact whoever G!D brings me to, who
|
|
|
|
|
|
are associated to that shared fridge, and give with as good a measure
|
|
|
|
|
|
as G!D hath used in His gifts and mercy that He hath laid upon me. <br/>
|
|
|
|
|
|
And indeed G!D hath given me a <strike>warning</strike>
|
|
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
|
|
|
|
he would be a perfect man, in perfect control of his body, able to control
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

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

sleep, or exercising regularly, or

What do we, those of us with 'schizophrenia',
|
|
|
|
|
|
come
|
|
|
|
|
|
in, in this battle? Where do I come in?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, Father, help us to be more like Jesus,
|
|
|
|
|
|
who is always available to the marginalised
|
|
|
|
|
|
in society, and who does not seek praise: Lord,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you said, 'My Father is greater than I'. You are
|
|
|
|
|
|
humble, Lord. Draw me closer to you, Lord
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ[,] amen.

the blessed Father who rules the Universe,

|

and whose name is hallowed, and He heard me
|

and listened. Even me, a wicked, ungrateful

thievess and a prostitute with a lowly heart,

The song 'Amazing grace' comes to mind:

Amazing grace / How sweet the sound / that saved
|
|
|
|
|

a wretch like me / I once was lost /
|

But now am found / [da-da-da-da-da]. Sing like

never before, o my soul /

praise His holy name.<br/>

G!D hath no begotten son. And G!D hath no
|
|

beings attached. Abraham laid the foundation
|

of the house when he cried out to G!D: 'Our
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lord! Save
|
|
|
|
|
|
me and my descendants from idol worshippers!' (from
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Quran) <br/>

|
Praise be to G!D, who brings every kind
|
|
|
|
|
|
of fruit in boundless measure: houses I did
|
|
|

not build, fruits that I did not sow seeds of.

Someone else, who is wiser than myself,

said that we need to pray as if it depends on G!D,

Go home, my people,

and lock your doors!
|

Hide yourselves for a little while

until the Lord’s anger has passed.
|

Look! The Lord is coming from heaven
|

to punish the people of the earth for their sins.

The earth will no longer hide those who have been killed.

They will be brought out for all to see.

I went to a family therapist today. Christopher

L was good at putting my [']father['] into a
|
|
|
|
|
|
positive, compassionate, [and] knowledgable
|
|
|
|
|
|
light. I was surprised that my father
|
|
|
|
|

was aware of some of the dynamic[s] between
|
|
|

my [']siblings['] and myself. <br/><br/>
|

I feel the pressure to make every pocket of

time count. It is as if I'm on a giant rolling

to me, at this point, when the semester begins.
