John 8:23
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.





Our 'real life' experience of this life is often harsh and confronting and challenging.

When, like all of us, i am sometimes confronted by some life problem in this 'real' world [by a problem which seems to threaten to overwhelm me], i will usually pray about it, asking God directly for help.
Often i will go to sleep that night, and i will experience a dream, the illusory scenario of which, will in some way address my 'RL' problem.
The next day, i always like love to give my 'attention' to what the scenario of, and what my own actions choices within, a dream are 'telling' me.
Sometimes the 'message' that i get from my dreams is trying to give me some subtle advice or some 'insight' about my own RL choices.
When i see such insights, i try to pay attention, and to meditate upon my RL path forward!
Always, these 'message' dreams leave me with a sense that, where [before the dream] there was a 'hole' or 'emptiness' within me, i now have a sense that that 'emptiness' within me has been 'filled'.
The experience of such dreams, the next day, will leave me with a sense of great joy and peace.
I don't need to worry.
My dreams seem to be almost always emotionally comforting.
Good dreams.
Deeply satisfying dreams.
I always give thanks to God [for my dream] when i awake in the morning, after every night dream.



The things which i 'see' in dreams.    ???

Are such perceptions just my subconscious, becoming less so ?





John 14:1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.


John 14:13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.


John 17:15
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.


Matthew 11:27
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


Psalms 25:8
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9  The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11  For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12  What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

I can't change the world, but [with God's help] i can learn, and change myself.

We are all being given an opportunity 'here',       ...to learn how to choose.

We are given an opportunity to learn that good choices, are better than poor choices.




Ecclesiastes 2:13
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

muso,

Interesting muso!



None of us have any idea what reality truly is, including myself!    [....at least i know that i do not, anyway!]

Reality just isn't, what we [mankind] commonly imagine that it is!

IMO, the 'reality' which we experience [which we are experiencing!], is simply a very elaborate 'construct'.





But i do firmly believe that every one of us, will come to know who and what we are.

And that scares me [in some measure] !!!!!

Psalms 53








I do not experience, i do not seem to experience instant feedback, with 'that' which i understand to be 'God'.

But i know, that my God, my creator, is constantly 'overlooking' me.

And, I TRUST HIM.

Whether i live or die [and i will die], I TRUST HIM.




Want to find 'God' ?

Read the Bible.

Meditate.i






Can the stuff that makes us, define us?

1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.


2 Corinthians 12:1
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2  I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3  And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4  How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.


Acts 17:27
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.





In us [in mankind], 'God' is recreating himself !

BUT;

Matthew 13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49  So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50  And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Sorry muso!      




Par for the course with Yadda, muso.

Yadda is a deep thinker,    ....but '42' is as 'intellectual' as i am as likely to get.                

Have a good one.

Thank you Light.

Human science seeks the light.

Mankind searches for the light.

But men are determined to look in all of the wrong places, for that light.

The human wisdom of man, is not the subtle wisdom of God, which is pure and true, and which is a nurturing force, for all goodness.





Men [mankind] have always imagined themselves to be very wise [and cunning].

But men cannot imagine, men refuse to imagine, that they are in error.

2 Timothy 3:7
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.





In his righteous laws, God teaches men the right way, which is the way of peace and the way of human prosperity.

But men imagine that they know a better [a much simpler] way.

And man refuses, to embrace proper discernment, proper discrimination, and proper judgement [the righteousness, which is, 'the tree of life', from God].


Psalms 106:34
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
35  But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36  And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37  Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38  And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39  Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.


Ecclesiastes 7:29
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Light,

Every day here, i am a human being.

Seeking the path [to the light].

Some days, i stumble.

But i seek the way forward.





Light,

I am a human being, i [acknowledge and] see my error, and i seek forgiveness.i Quote:
