Such devolution is the way of the world. It is only by direct intervention that such relational, spiritual, passionate, and intellectual entropy is overcome, by God. Yes bb, such is the way, of energy, isn't it? When there is a disconnection with its source, energy inexorably dissipates, just as knowledge is distorted and lost in our world's various religious "telephone games."
Dear Brother A – It is astonishing to notice how “the way of the world” seems to be so at odds with God these days – that is, with the soul’s and world’s own Source and sustenance. It seems we humans are suffering from a really bad case of spiritual entropy right about now.
Surely you are right about the corrective for such condition. Truly, it’s all in the energy – for essentially, God is Light.
And the thought occurs to me that Hell -- eternal damnation -- consists of total deprivation of Light, of consignment into utter darkness in total, irremedial isolation from all living Being forever. For all souls are immortal.
And another thought has struck me: We humans make our own Hells, such that we can live them already in this world. Cases in point: the twisted corruption of divine faith fostered by Islamicist terrorists; the recent shame, the infamia of the Roman Church; the sheer bad faith of the public discourse in our time, spreading confusion, anxiety, and a loss of confidence and will to confront reality in American society at large. Personal hells find a way of spreading to and embroiling others, in ways that hurt others.
Just thought of another case in point of the transposition of personal hells to the body politic: the travesty of court-imposed gay marriage, alive in my home state and elsewhere at the present time.
Talk about the propagation of personal hells into the body politic – not by the will of the people (many if not most of whom assuredly know better than to tamper with natural human relations that have evolved and stood up to the test of time over some forty-plus millennia), but by the constitutionally unwarranted, unaccountable fiat of a politicized, ideologically-driven judiciary, overriding the legislative authority, and thereby undermining the very foundations of our constitutional, democratic republic.
God is calling. Hopefully, Man will choose to take the call – for God’s sake, and thereby for his own.
Yes. Thanks for your warnings! There are many ways to be wrong. That fact alone might give us a clue to those who would move away from what is true.
I just heard Chris Wallace asking someone, "What's wrong with gay marriage?" Yes, that's like asking, "What's wrong with dark light?," or for that matter, many many other questions. "What's wrong with marrying a sheep?" "What's wrong with using automobiles for neckties?" "What's wrong with swimming in foldaway sofas?"
Beware the corruption of meaning and the redefinition of words. There are many ways to be wrong. That fact that there is wrong doesn't however mar the clarity of what is true.
"Why do the nations imagine a vain thing?"
Beware also the redifintion of words such as: human, life, being, organism, kind, purpose, fitness, development, nature, body, soul, spirit, etc.
