In reading about the subject of closed hearts and soul in the secular state ... does the idea of communion with all there is degrade and result in lost and valuable pieces to be gathered beyond our closed states? Tony Lane's Christian Thought ... maybe light thinking on how the church father's caused war instead of study and continuous learning towards ultimate Sophia (unreachable wisdom in mortal state). That's dark and obscure ... fatal to will?

It is under secular conditions difficult to unravel for mortal and limited folk under mortal Gods ... beyond that? We do not know without living the questions passed by a number of ancient ascetics ... aesthetics ... numbing reality! What mortals normally do to one another is a lesson for those looking back on the myth of their existence from within a dream ... ghostly ... dervish dancing in the desert ... Noman? Pure energy transfer indicated by ripples on air ... and a mystery created a beast for observation so the consequences could be returned for study beyond the experiment of life ... fatal misunderstanding? Infallible as something always bounces ... that's abstract function ... mysterious, unknown while right into it ... appreciate it while you're able ... later you may be just a deal or portion of the stem ... vegetating tree? Cool with absorption of all glow provided even the night light ... dreams under the town hall light? Myself I am stunned by secular human behaviouralist ... personality construct, or destruct?

Here in NB there is another degrade to the evaluation of education systems ...

PS: Jae; how is Ron?
Your words, Luce, carry longing and mystery.

You’ve touched on the tension between closed hearts in a secular state and the yearning for communion with all there is. I hear in your reflection both lament and hope.

The journey toward Sophia's holy. To live the questions's to walk the pilgrim’s path.

When hearts are open, Communion gathers the scattered pieces of our lives into Christ’s body.

p.s. Sorry, I don't understand. Who or what is Ron?
 
The extent of avarice in secular life is awesomely negative to free essences ... vapors available for do and dew?

You see Jae I have a value on dreams and the potential of doing things beyond secular ... psyche is out there a stretch to escape secular degradation ... how is an enigma ... accomplished by a gathering beyond secular power ... just something else unconceivable! There's a lot that's beyond one book or tome ... St Thomas? Phantom of the myth ... hummer? (OHM'r)
Hear in your reflection, Luce, Ecc's echo, "He's set eternity in the human heart.”

The vapours and dew you mention remind me of how refreshing God’s grace is when we gather in the Spirit.

Dreams are Kingdom whispers. They're glimpses of what God can do when we step beyond human striving's limits.

The true “enigma” is revealed in Christ.

Let's gather in faith. Nurture our dreams. Trust that the Spirit will stretch us into the holy
 
Yet @Jaebius Christ as light is free of emotional baggage ... will ... a creature of pure intelligence in some terms as freed fromn the dark and mystery of being under the piet ... the stone ... a shadow projection! If there is one thing I've learned in life that the bulk, mass, of people have been led to use the power of will heavily against increased intelligence (that endangers free will). But if we stand back and observe ... the easy way is to drop intelligence and in a state of dissatifaction use the power of the masque and misleading face, smile while sticking them in the ribs with that thorn!

In a communicating social order the quality seems to rub off if you are in a community with alternate agendas. The process ends in a separation across an abstract wall so we can see our gestalt image ... that duplicate self that wrestles with us in the shadow across a great divide that only a wisp of reflection can cross ... allowing conjunction of 2 essences that many may deny as they despise diabolical mysteries of a god of 2 qualities ... will to know how the children get so hard-harted and impatient when the product of someone messing with their time!

It is a solution that scattered characters cannot resolve and yet they are in conflict when at arms length and cannot put the finger on the reason and logic for a quantum state ... that's just chancy ... like traveling with the gambler across the unknown (void). For some it stimulates question of why we believe in power when intelligenc e is put in a descending form ... and that's how we lose it. Those searching an building empires do it on some poor devils back. Ever encounter a hog's back? They are vicious and dashing and can leave the surroundings upended ...

Some of this is good for cultivating the earth but some moderation and medium is valued or the porkers will take over the entire domain ... hinting at pork belly politics! Did you know the Semitic view on porking ... and yet they reach beyond that trying to control it in alternates and not self ... world avarice? We cannot beat it when in a real state ... thus the abstract, dark and creative mystery that to some is a humbel power ... couter to the opposed to sacrificing anything ... so someone gives up all levity! It is not funy when taken to extremes ... mediated humors? Some declare it like haggai ... the roots of hagar ... and there we dip! Bo Gest as part of Gest alt ... always respect your other half ... 5th command? Mother of God (MOG-wise) is a stretch of imagination given mortal demand ... thus we in the back stage ... supporting the improved story over powerful history that is questionable because of powerful will ... always on the run to get more ... mocking birds? Cruel copy ...

Sometimes romantic, sometimes tragic sometimes comic when they gather in descent as time goes down ... driven by weights!
 
Gents, this is the "what are you reading" thread, eh. So what are you reading?

For me these days, it's mostly just news and articles. Still struggling to keep focus on book length stuff.

Sorry Mendalla.

I haven't been doing any reading lately for my own pleasure. I have been reading passages from the Bible, to prepare for my English language ministry at church. We started some time ago with Psalm 119 and, reading in order, have now reached Proverbs 7.

There's a whole lot of talk about adultery in the first chapters of Proverbs - which I take to mean not only people cheating on their spouses, but also people worshipping other than the Judeo Christian God. And I feel that applies not just to individuals but also to whole people groups.

I do have another book, though, that I must start soon. A former professor of mine sent me his latest book, which is on the subject of preaching.
 
Sorry Mendalla,
As I read the Community Values and the reach for open-minded and hearted objective ... I see an extensive bit of material to be read in word (of all kinds). This I find as stimulus to open discussions in a wide spectrum ... but as in many good but censured literature meant o contain thought I guess I am in the wrong place.
I've been chastised many times before for opening up a thread to more expansive consideration. That does tell you something about what is real ...
The very idea of Christ as free illumination over a vast dark spectrum is lost to those that strive for distinctly closed circles more like the Roman Forum as a place for bloodletting ... Maybe I've crossed that Magi Red Line that can lead to an end of stuff of the soul ... including sacred core value! You wish me to depart is what I read into it and thus I ponder and chew what is the agenda of will?

Many times I've been told I am a thread breaker for connecting to adjacent fibers ... maybe I'm on the wrong side of the carpet ... as open intelligence is shot by the other power ... fey diminishment! Ephraim of the escape portal? Then I've been wished dead, etc. here before ... so as to allow silence for quintessential process ... just a little scratching in the background ...

My apocalyptic revelation about things incarnate (not as they appeared is the description) It was something manifested deviated from the presentation ... but why (pops up in that dark night of soul) as a flying ember in the shadow? Insight ...

Eros seem to pierce the core ... split the stalk (deal, epistemological) ... takes us our of the being portion ... maybe castor bean ... normality ... toxic? Is that the real life? I see a great deal go down flaming ... Pelagius ... that vast open "C" beyond as blue sky? Another one wished out ... how ambiguous!
