It is actuall..."But the hole is there for a reason. It is actually a theomorphic and theocentric hole, and there is no way to fill it unless one is properly oriented to the source of our being. We are connected to the source of our being by a vertical channel, or ombilicus, through which energies pass up and down, in and out -- we call these energies aspiration (↑) and grace (↓) (the latter of which must be in-spired to become operative)."<BR/><BR/>And,<BR/><BR/>"But the interior Coonman orients himself around the esoteric Center from which "B" influences enter the field of life. Unlike the "A" influences, these do not cancel each other out, but are all oriented in the same direction and are actually the only enduring reality."<BR/><BR/>Best to fill that hole with good seeds, and to work that fallow ground of our hearts so those seeds can grow and mature rather than fill that hole with the illusions of the "A" influences, which is basically the same as drugs for all practical purposes.<BR/><BR/>We basically have the choice of addictions here (or perhaps it's better to call the A influences addictions, and B influences sustenance): A or B, death or life, chaos or order, Evil or Good, Below or Above, Satan or God. <BR/><BR/>I love this post, Bob! Full of holy, and wholly Goodness! Thanks! It sure resonated within me, and it took me nearly all day to read, over and over. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure I'm just scratchin' the surface here, but those shallow "B" scratches are infinitely deeper (and completely perfect) than the abyss of A influences that never bring joy or contentment and only increase the hunger of our holes as it spreads like a cancer or AIDS virus.<BR/><BR/>Or depth of Truth vs the pit of flatlined lies. Once one is locked into B influences (ie O) there ain't no way you wanna look back. Besides, we already know what's back there.USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-73876570922023185242009-02-22T17:48:00.000-08:002009-02-22T17:48:00.000-08:00For that matter, it is a truism that the most dang...For that matter, it is a truism that the most dangerous place in the world for a black person -- or liberal, for that matter -- to be is inside their mother's womb. <BR/><BR/>Whoa!
