It's funny though because I completely reject or ignore the (-) due to proper lenses and good and helpful books and blogs... so my concern is that if I'm happy (and this is because of looking at Him straight-on) people might think I'm in accord with all the, pardon me, but crap that's been happening. It's an interesting dynamic. Through conflict (many toils, snares, ...) shadows and darkness is dealt with even more, so the light is even clearer, brighter. <BR/><BR/>No time to edit or second guess.

No matter where I look anymore, things seem more and more upside-down and inside-out. Whatever has been happening for some time seems to have just recently stomped the accelerator. It’s as if the darkness senses its impending end and is compelled to thicken and spread.<BR/><BR/>Like the Man said, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matt 24:37-39).<BR/><BR/>And how were the days of Noah inverted (perverted)? “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually … Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. Then God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.’ (Gen 6:5, 11-13)<BR/><BR/>“It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.” – Dylan<BR/><BR/>Also, I’ve been meaning to point y’all to this JWR site…always some good <A HREF="http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0309/glick031009.php3?printer_friendly" REL="nofollow">stuff</A> to be found.<BR/><BR/>Trying to keep on glowing in the deepening dark.NoMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100042056270224683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-24195836096833295542009-03-11T14:23:00.000-07:002009-03-11T14:23:00.000-07:00"... and the contestants are coming around the ben..."... and the contestants are coming around the bend, entering the final stretch, it looks like... yes, #2 is in the lead... it looks like 'Van' is pulling ahead of the pack and is going to win the pennant for the the run on sentence marathon..."<BR/><BR/>woo-hoo<BR/><BR/>wv:senore<BR/>hmmmVan Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-38481278863077483582009-03-11T14:08:00.000-07:002009-03-11T14:08:00.000-07:00(Yep, I'll third or fourth Julie's "Bring on the w...(Yep, I'll third or fourth Julie's "Bring on the weirdness, Bob's Unconscious. Our unconscious digs the reverberations.")<BR/><BR/>"As Balthasar puts it, "it is essential that all being should have a relation to some self-consciousness." Furthermore, once the truth of father being becomes apParent, "a thousand consequences, a thousand insights, spring from it as from a seed. Once being has become evident, this evidence immediately harbors the promise of further truth; it is a door, an entrance, a key to the life of spirit."<BR/><BR/>What led me up from the horizontal ground towards those vertical depths, was when I began to grasp the deep, deep integration of all that is known or knowable, and began to suspect that which animates that which is known... and that was also where I began to grasp the widespread assault upon all that is Good, Beautiful and True, that is initiated with such things as the denial of Causality, of Free Will and even of the possibility of Truth. Not only does that muddle the progress of the physical pursuit of truth, but the moral and spiritual as well (the possibility that someone can entertain the possibility of there even being any separation between the physical, the moral and the spiritual, is evidence of how deep the attack has struck us).<BR/><BR/>The assault is most recognizable in everyday activities, in classrooms, with such things as pushing the students to attain a more 'nuanced view of truth and logic' through such things as the "analytic-synthetic dichotomy between truths". A common example is <I>"A bachelor is an unmarried man, that is an analytic truth and you can't even imagine a married bachelor, but "ice floats" is a synthetic truth, we can easily imagine a world with different rules of physics where ice sinks or water burns, since "ice" and "floats" aren't necessarily so or intrinsically connected facts, they are merely synthetic truths"</I>. Merely.<BR/><BR/>What is more disturbing, that they don't realize the full on assault which they are pushing upon the nature of reality, upon your mind and spirit which they assert, or that these scientists and lovers of wisdom, <I>actually don't realize</I> that every property of Water is a direct result of its core nature of not only H20, but of atoms, protons, electrons, etc, that <I>nothing</I> in the metaphysically given is optional, just as each IS, because of its full nature, that IS most <I>definitely</I> implies an OUGHT!? What sense of ethics, of Rights, of Justice, MUST follow from such thinking? Hint: 'Piss Crists' sculptures, Bailouts and Hate Speech codes are the direct results of such thinking.<BR/><BR/>If you have a stomach for it, there is still an ongoing controversy over <A HREF="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/analytic-synthetic/" REL="nofollow">the issue</A>, but you'll find that all the debate is over the intricacies of various epicycles of logic chopping, the fact is, that they have all bought into an unbridgeable schism between what IS and what is knowable about it, and to them it is an uncontroversial presumption that there is NO 'One Cosmos', but only disintegrated worlds, within and without, that all that IS is just the result of arbitrary chance and our ability to know any of it is flawed at best.<BR/><BR/>"it is essential that all being should have a relation to some self-consciousness." becomes "it is merely coincidental that any being should have a relation to some self-consciousness, and consciousness is really just an illusion anyway.", and the reversal of ground between light and dark, is the OUGHT which necessarily results from such an IS.<BR/><BR/>Ugh.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-91490649544987257202009-03-11T12:44:00.000-07:002009-03-11T12:44:00.000-07:00Whee!

If we want to see the mystery of the cosmos, we have to turn down all the local ambient lighting before the stars will come out. But of course, it's not the stars coming out - they are there all along. It's that when we can turn down our own wattage, they become accessible. But in line with what you said about mystery, even though we see them and feel that sense of wonder, the mystery is heightened, not lessened, in the experience.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
